Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 816: The Formidable Chieftain Jin

“Founding Ancestor, we’ve come to visit you.” Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou smiled, looking at the Innate Daoist Priest sitting cross-legged on the floor.

The light from the oil lamp cast their shadows long, making them appear exceptionally tall.

The Innate Daoist Priest was stupefied as he saw Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou entering with bedclothes.

Didn’t we bid goodbye just an hour ago? How did you manage to get into the same cell as me so quickly?

The Taciturn Daoist Priest was deeply moved. I didn’t expect my dear disciple to be so concerned about my prison life, specifically coming to live with me.

“This place is actually quite suitable for you two to cultivate,” the Taciturn Daoist Priest said seriously.

The prison arrays could restrict spirit energy, but Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had exceedingly high cultivation with extremely solid foundations, so they couldn’t be completely restrained. Cultivating here was similar to martial artists training with weights. If they could adapt to the environment here, it would greatly benefit their future cultivation.

“There’s such a good thing?” Lu Yang was delighted. Good things indeed happen to good people.

“Your shifu isn’t wrong about this,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy remarked.

At the moment, Lu Yang’s mental space underwent a major transformation. A row of thick pillars divided it in two. Lu Yang was on one side, while the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was on the other side.

As the First-in-Command, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was rather loyal, sticking by the principle of sharing hardships. She had also imprisoned herself, donning old, tattered prison clothes, and endured the suffering alongside Lu Yang.

“...Wait, Immortal Fairy, isn’t your living environment a bit too good?”

Lu Yang looked at his side—he had straw on the ground, tattered clothes as a pillow, manacles on his hands and legs.

In contrast, on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s side, she had an expensive, soft bed, a wardrobe displaying clothes, a tea table, chairs, and a teapot. Hanging on the wall was a painting drawn by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, depicting a chicken pecking at insects on the ground. This was the Dragon-Phoenix Contention Painting.

Combined with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s prison attire, she looked like a prisoner with special privileges who had come to the prison to enjoy life.

On the other hand, Lu Yang looked like a nobody, the type bullied by the jailer.

“This immortal has a delicate body. How could I sleep on straw? Shoo shoo, go cultivate. I even deliberately suppressed your spiritual consciousness so that when you cultivate, you can train your spiritual consciousness simultaneously.”

After putting on the manacles, Lu Yang did feel that he couldn’t employ his spiritual consciousness with as much ease as before.

In the real world, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou sat in the lotus position and followed the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s instructions to meditate and cultivate.

At the same time, to temper their Dao hearts, the Taciturn Daoist Priest continuously disturbed their cultivation by talking with the Innate Daoist Priest.

Fortunately, the two had high cultivation and entered meditation quickly, unaffected by the Taciturn Daoist Priest’s interference.

~~~

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could feel a slight improvement in their cultivation. Moreover, they believed that without the array’s suppression, their control over spirit energy could reach a new level.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest watched as the two opened their mouths wide and swallowed spirit energy from heaven and hearth, finding it novel.

“So this is the legendary Taotie Tribe’s life-bound divine ability, Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth? This is much more efficient than Spirit-Energy Gathering Arrays. Furthermore, it allows one to cultivate anytime, anywhere.”

Chieftain Jin’s expression turned odd. Is this how the Taotie Tribe’s Swallowing Heaven Devouring Earth is supposed to be like? Why does it seem different from the version I’d seen?

Just as the Taciturn Daoist Priest wanted to chat a bit more with the Innate Daoist Priest, his expression suddenly changed.

With a boom, the ceiling of the prison cell was lifted like opening the lid of a box. The prisoners inside looked up at the pitch-black sky and the figure in the curtain of the night, who was radiating a terrifying aura.

“Oh no, an enemy attack!” The jailer shouted, his face shifting dramatically. He was fully alert and held a halberd, flying into the air and glaring fixedly at the silhouette.

The figure seemed as if he hadn’t seen the jailer at the Nascent Soul Stage, coldly scanning the prisoners.

The residents nearby lit oil lamps and peered through the window paper, trembling as they watched the figure, contemplating whether to hide indoors or run for their lives.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou broke free from their meditation state and gazed at the figure. They were unable to sense his cultivation, which meant he was a Fusion cultivator!

“Where are the Heartless Creed members?” The figure demanded coldly.

A jailbreak!

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were stunned. They hadn’t expected the Heartless Creed to be so bold as to attempt a prison break.

The captured Heartless Creed members were locked up deep within the prison, far from where Lu Yang and the others were detained. The Heartless Creed followers were considered serious criminals. Those who wanted to join the Heartless Creed also had criminal records and were strictly guarded by the Ye City authorities.

But no matter how strictly they were guarded, it couldn’t stop a Fusion cultivator from breaking them out of prison!

“Brazen scoundrel! Halberd Dance!”

The jailer hollered angrily, brandishing his halberd. The gleaming halberd was especially dazzling against the night sky, looking like another streak of moonlight.

The Halberd Dance was a form of Dance Dao created under moonlight. If used at night, its power could double.

The figure didn’t even glance at the jailer, casually raising a hand to catch the halberd that resembled moonlight. The jailer exerted all his strength but couldn’t move the halberd an inch.

“Boring.”

He casually threw the jailer away, along with the halberd. Extending a finger, he shot a black beam, aiming to pierce the jailer.

Whoosh!

A strange wind blew over from somewhere, dispersing the black beam. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

“Who’s there?!”

The figure’s eyes sharpened. A majestic qiongqi had appeared in the air. Its eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty, red glow. Every breath carried frigid air and baleful energy, demonstrating ancient and terrifying power.

“The Nine-Netherworlds Creed!!” Chieftain Jin roared like the Buddhist Lion Roar, the sound shaking the heavens and shattering space.

“The Nine-Netherworlds Creed has a qiongqi at the Fusion Stage?” The figure knitted his brows, greatly puzzled.

Chieftain Jin’s gaze burned into the figure. According to Big Brother, capturing this person would be a great meritorious deed!

“It seems someone knew I was bored in prison and specially came to entertain me!” Chieftain Jin didn’t take the figure seriously at all. Unlike the Dijiang Tribe that is well-versed in song and dance, the Qiongqi Tribe has been renowned for combat prowess since ancient times!

A giant tiger claw swiped down. The air was instantly filled with tearing sounds. The figure’s eyes grew lethal. Lightly tapping his feet, he traversed through the wind like a phantom, easily dodging the strike.

“The Qiongqi Tribe is nothing special.” The figure sneered. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked down. Three claw marks had somehow appeared on his chest, and blood was flowing profusely.

“The Heartless Creed only has this bit of skill; no wonder they voluntarily get cuckolded.” Chieftain Jin burst out laughing, pouncing at the figure again.

The figure seemed to be provoked by Chieftain Jin’s words, or perhaps some unpleasant memory was triggered. Black energy surged endlessly from his sleeves, transforming into ghostly shadows.

“Ghost-Driving Technique?” Chieftain Jin was amused, revealing snow-white tiger fangs. With a flap of his wings, he stirred the surrounding airflow. The ghostly shadows trembled, showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.

“It appears that because our Qiongqi Tribe rarely acts, it has caused the world to forget our Tiger-Henchman Ghost Technique!”

Hearing “Tiger-Henchman Ghost Technique,” Lu Yang’s eyelid twitched slightly. He recalled his reason for joining the Everlasting Creed was to eliminate a tiger demon that knew the Tiger-Henchman Ghost Technique.

“No, something’s not right. The Heartless Creed shouldn’t be here to rescue people.” The Taciturn Daoist Priest frowned, muttering to himself. Based on my understanding of the Heartless Creed, they get no benefit from rescuing people.

Moreover, Great Xia is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. A city may seem to lack experts, but who knows if some powerhouse is living reclusively there? Looking at the situation now, forget rescuing people—this person is about to get himself dragged in too.

The Taciturn Daoist Priest spread his spiritual consciousness, searching for anomalies in Ye City. Suddenly, his expression hardened. Transforming into a ray of sword light, he rushed straight toward the City Lord Estate.

“Oh no! There’s trouble at the City Lord Estate!”
