Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1060: Chapter 45 Someone is Playing a Big Game_2

What’s even more disgusting is that the opponent seems to anticipate every move. If it doesn’t dodge, the opponent will use all sorts of rubbish to hinder its pursuit speed.

But if it evades, it still wastes time, not to mention that the opponent throws useless magical treasures like low rank Flying Swords, making the Flying Asura increasingly irritated and violent.

Turning around to chase the other two is definitely too late now, so the Flying Asura can only swallow the bitter fruit silently and relentlessly pursue Shi Liuli.

After a while, a figure suddenly appeared ahead.

Shi Liuli fixed her eyes and saw that it was a certain elder from Penglai’s Yuqing View, whose Taoist name was “Qing Lan,” unexpectedly encountered here.

That Elder Qing Lan also saw from afar that Elder Dong You was being chased by a zombie-like demonic creature, and instinctively quickly rose on her sword, planning to flee—demonstrating that most Penglai cultivators have self-awareness, in situations where the risk is unknown, running away is always the first choice.

But Shi Liuli was not willing to give her this chance, and immediately slightly adjusted the direction of her flying apparatus to chase in Qing Lan’s fleeing direction.

She quickly caught up with the opponent and called for Qing Lan to stop from controlling her sword and come aboard.

Qing Lan was also helpless, after all, her sword control speed was too slow, if she didn’t get on now, she’d be caught up by the zombie behind soon, so she could only cry out:

“Dong You, you’ve brought ruin upon me!”

“How was I supposed to know you were here?” Shi Liuli retorted unceremoniously.

“Aren’t you skilled in that art calculation thing?” Qing Lan said, “You must have calculated it; otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, that you happened to bump into me?”

“Good point, then let me calculate if I should take you with me to escape.” Shi Liuli pretended to start divining, but was quickly grabbed by Qing Lan, who hastily said, “Good sister, I was wrong, please take me back to Penglai.”

“First, some elixirs, my True Yuan is nearly depleted.” Shi Liuli said bluntly.

This Elder Qing Lan majors in Alchemy, though her other abilities aren’t very good, the quality of her elixirs is indeed excellent. Shi Liuli took several elixirs from her and consumed them, then threw out a Magic Artifact to slow down the Flying Asura, taking the opportunity to refine the medicine’s power.

This area around the East Sea is already within Penglai’s territory, so encountering Qing Lan isn’t surprising.

Shi Liuli escaped for another hour, then suddenly saw another figure ahead, who turned out to be Elder Ming Xia who majors in Talisman Scripts.

She has been managing affairs at the Heavenly Craft Workshop for many years, and most elders in the View are familiar with her. Seeing Elder Ming Xia stopping still, seeming to want to “take a look at what’s happening,” Shi Liuli quickly maneuvered the spindle-shaped Magical Treasure to chase down, involving Elder Ming Xia as well.

“What is that?” Ming Xia looked back in shock, “Flying Asura?”

“Calm down.” Shi Liuli said composedly, “We need to send for help.”

“If we need to send for help, why are you bringing me along?” Ming Xia also realized.

“Or do you want to go down now?” Shi Liuli asked.

Thus, Ming Xia said no more. Going down now would mean death if scratched by the Flying Asura, she understood the risks involved.

Shi Liuli took people along while the Flying Asura chased, not long after, they saw another figure ahead.

“That’s Elder Yuan Fu!” Qing Lan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Quick, Dong You, don’t let her escape!”

What do you mean by “don’t let her escape”? I’m not any enemy cultivator… Shi Liuli was too tired to complain, so she quickly went over to pull the other party onto the ship.

Just like that, about seven or eight people were pulled aboard, everyone’s reactions were identical: initially blaming Shi Liuli for dragging them into the fire pit, but then firmly expressing their desire to live and die with the group, continuing to gather fellow sect cultivators they saw along the way.

“Why gather more?” Shi Liuli suddenly said, “We already have ten Nascent Soul cultivators here, surely we can defeat that small Flying Asura?”

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. After a while, someone hesitantly said:

“Why not give it a try? If we can’t, we’ll just run; there are so many of us, surely we can hold off a single Flying Asura?”

Everyone found this suggestion reliable, so Shi Liuli stopped her Magical Treasure’s momentum, and the crowd quickly scattered using Sword Control, then blasted the Flying Asura with various Magical Treasures and Talisman Scripts.

The Flying Asura, mingling in the Mortal Life Path’s base for years, had some understanding of the Cultivation Realm’s sects, knowing Penglai’s Yuqing View to be a weak sect, hence it revealed a grim smile with green face and tusks, fiendishly jerking forward.

Soon, it began to doubt its judgment.

Although it didn’t understand what barrage attack meant, nor what saturation coverage was, those attacks previously unable to cause harm, accumulated to a sufficient number and scale, now tangibly impeded its actions.

Now the Flying Asura, whether advancing, retreating, or moving side to side, was met with countless Magical Treasures and Flying Swords, striking it into a stagger of instability, difficult to maintain balance… very soon it couldn’t hold back its irritation, unleashing a fierce ferocious roar.

This roar was driven by the zombie’s Innate Divine Ability, possessing the effect of capturing the soul, thus all cultivators within range clutched their heads painfully, blood trickling from their mouths and noses.

The Flying Asura prepared to take advantage of the situation to strike. The next second, a large volume of Heavenly River water gushed from the front, directly flushing it out of the crowd.

Damn!!! As the Flying Asura wrestled its way out of the water column with brute force, it found everyone had recovered from the sonic wave’s shock.

The others weren’t difficult to handle, but that Penglai’s Dong You was truly troublesome, always able to anticipate its moves, quickly deploying some means to disrupt its spell and divine skill right when it was about to release.

Just like the roar earlier, Shi Liuli was also stunned by the roar’s shock, immobile, yet the Heavenly River water was summoned just as it was about to roar… clearly demonstrating the opponent handled it by prediction, not reaction speed.

This place isn’t far from Penglai Immortal Island, many passing Golden Core True Persons, seeing the elders of their sect dealing with the Flying Asura, although not daring to join the battle, had no problem going back for reinforcements.

The Flying Asura fought increasingly unease, then simply roared again to stun everyone, turning decisively to leave.

If it truly provoked Penglai’s Sect Guardian Immortal… it felt it would rather face Jiang Lian’s wrath directly.

Having driven away this pestilence, the elders were also invigorated.

It’s known that this Flying Asura is no ordinary zombie, it’s extremely close to Great Perfection of Nascent Soul Realm, just a step away from ascending to become a drought demon.

Even the Shushan Sword Immortals, Nascent Soul Elders known for battle prowess, couldn’t ensure victory in a one-on-one against a Flying Asura… it’s said our Penglai Cultivators aren’t adept at fighting, yet now it seems not necessarily so.

Soon, the Master of Xuandu came upon hearing the news, and consulted the present crowd on the situation.

After knowing it was Shi Liuli who drew the opponent, he summoned Shi Liuli to meet Wan Xiang Immortal, to report separately.

Facing both the Sect Leader and Immortal, Shi Liuli was not panicked, only excused that she was looking for clues about her husband, encountered the Mortal Life Path’s Deputy Sect Master Jiang Lian on the way, and the other party sent this Flying Asura to kill her.

This statement contained no lies, merely omitting the fact “she had already found her husband.”

The Master of Xuandu and Wan Xiang Immortal did not doubt, only pondered silently for a moment, when the Sect Leader suddenly said:

“The Mortal Life Path’s Sect Master Wei Dongliu has also been confirmed missing.”

“It seems.” Wan Xiang Immortal slowly said, “someone is playing a big game here.”

Kunlun’s Changgeng, Shushan’s Qing Heng, Penglai’s Jingyun, all are pillars, future stars of their respective sects, yet after stealing fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone simultaneously defected and went missing, now adding the Mortal Life Path’s Sect Master, Wan Xiang Immortal thinks these people must belong to the same organization, aimed to steal Heaven-Mending Stone fragments.

Being able to recruit so many talents, and embedding them as moles in major sects to lurk, who on earth is this behind-the-scenes mastermind?

Originally, everyone suspected the Hell Path, but now it seems unlikely. After all, as long as the moles continue to grow, become Sect Leaders of the Three Pure Orthodox Sect, and secretly transfer benefits to the Demon Cult, the havoc caused would far exceed the current defection.

The only explanation is that this organization does not want to oppose the Three Pure Ones, they have only one goal from start to finish:

Steal the Heaven-Mending Stone.
