The two demonic cultivators flew at full speed towards Li Wei, emitting a scarlet aura along the way.
Li Wei, seeing them coming, remained unfazed, believing they couldn't harm him with his level of power.
But his confidence was a grave mistake. When the two cultivators got close to Li Wei, they activated their secret technique, a suicide attack combining their cultivations to produce a massive explosion.
Li Wei noticed that something was wrong and tried to escape, but unfortunately, he was tied by the chain and the explosion caught him. The explosion pushed him to the ground, knocking down several trees and creating a crater where he landed.
Moments later, Li Wei could be seen covered in blood, with wounds all over his body, breathing heavily.
"Damn, I made a big mistake by being overconfident", Li Wei said before spitting blood and taking a recovery pill.
Han Jing's clone began to disappear, and in its place appeared the real Han Jing, with a wound on his chest caused by the demonic cultivator's sword.
"You did not use a cloning technique?", Li Wei asked curiously.
"I don't know any cloning techniques. I pretended to be a clone to deceive them", Han Jing replied while taking a recovery pill.
"That was very risky. What would have happened if the demonic cultivator had destroyed the supposed clone?", Li Wei asked.
"I had no choice. The demonic cultivator far surpassed me in cultivation, and my only resource was to deceive him to survive", Han Jing replied.
'Although I have a plan B to escape if the demonic cultivator attacks the wooden sculpture again, I won't tell Li Wei since I don't fully trust him', Han Jing thought.
"By the way, are you okay?", Han Jing asked while looking at Li Wei, covered in blood.
"I'm fine. Most of the blood on me isn't mine", Li Wei replied.
"When you recover, check the memories of the first demonic cultivator I killed."
"Okay", Han Jing said.
When Han Jing checked the memories of the dead demonic cultivator, his expression became more serious.
"This is worse than I thought", Han Jing said seriously.
"What did you discover?", Li Wei asked curiously.
"It was supposed that demonic cultivators were almost extinct because they hadn't appeared in a long time, but that's a lie. According to his memories, many demonic cultivators are infiltrated in many organizations and sects."
"They are planning to take over the world using a technique that helps them camouflage their demonic energy."
"Have they infiltrated much into the society of righteous cultivators?", Li Wei asked.
"I'm afraid so. Soon, they will launch a large-scale attack against all righteous cultivators."
"And why did they attack us at this moment?", Li Wei asked.
"Within the demonic organization, there is a department responsible for killing and kidnapping all talented cultivators belonging to the righteous faction."
"The three cultivators who attacked us received the mission from a woman named Mei Hua."
"That bitch again", Li Wei said angrily.
'Wait, the fact that Mei Hua is a demonic cultivator means that the Eternal Flower sect belongs to the demonic faction?', Li Wei thought, worried that something might happen to his friend Zhang Yin.
"Check in their memories if the Eternal Flower sect is part of the demonic faction", Li Wei told Han Jing.
"According to their memories, the Eternal Flower sect belongs to the demonic faction", Han Jing said.
"Damn", Li Wei said, then added, "Let's quickly return to the base. I have an urgent matter to resolve."
"Okay", Han Jing said.
Li Wei returned to the base to drop off Han Jing and then flew at full speed towards the Eternal Flower sect.
After flying for a long time, Li Wei arrived near the sect and activated the stealth technique to sneak inside. He managed to pass without any problems and headed to Zhang Yin's house.
When he arrived, he approached the door and opened it carefully, but found the room completely empty and had a bad feeling.
A barrier was formed in the house to prevent Li Wei escape, and an alarm rang, alerting many people.
The house was surrounded by the sect's elders, as well as Mei Hua and her father, the sect master.
"Finally, you returned, hahaha", Mei Hua said, laughing like a madwoman.
"What did you do to Zhang Yin?", Li Wei asked angrily, releasing a deep killing intent.
"It has been a long time since the last time we saw each other, and the first thing you do is ask me about your stupid friend?", Mei Hua asked angry, then smiled and said, "It is useless to worry about your dear friend because he is already dead after the torture he received."
After hearing that, Li Wei became very angry and flew towards Mei Hua, ignoring the barrier because he had already deactivated it during their conversation.
"I heard about your formation skills, and I see they are true", Mei Hua said nonchalantly after seeing how easily Li Wei deactivated the barrier.
As he approached Mei Hua, a sect elder intervened to stop him but was brutally torn apart by Li Wei's spear.
All were surprised by Li Wei's power, and some elders retired a little out of fear
"He's too strong for you, don't intervene", the sect master said, a bit surprised by Li Wei's power, while releasing the aura of a nascent soul at the last level.
"Don't kill him. I want him alive", Mei Hua told his father while a crooked smile appeared on his face.
Li Wei, feeling the pressure emitted by the sect master, knew he was in trouble, but did not care because the hatred he felt was very big and only thought about killing Mei Hua.
