Chapter 1760: Chapter 393:
The woman who had earlier asked for food spoke again, "By the way, I still don’t know how to address you, Dao Companion?"
As she spoke, she looked at the other person’s clothing, but found that there was no insignia on his clothes.
Cao Zhen gave a bright smile and casually said, "Ye Liangchen, just a loose cultivator. And you all?"
"The three of us are disciples of the Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts." The woman said as she pointed to the one with the highest cultivation base, "This is my senior sister, the Dual Sword Immortal, and the other is Senior Brother Dual Whip. As for me, you can call me Xun Jian."
"Oh, Immortal Xun Jian." Cao Zhen lightly turned the skewer in his hand, and next to him, the voice of the Dual Sword Immortal came through.
"Taoist Ye, it’s no easy feat to escape alone. On the road, I saw quite a few experts in the Immortal Path Domain killed by the Murderous Night Clan."
As she spoke, she looked into the other person’s eyes.
Loose Cultivator?
Indeed, there are many loose cultivators who enter dangerous lands for adventures; it can even be said that all loose cultivators enter dangerous lands to seek adventure. After all, unlike disciples of great teachings, they do not have inheritance or resources, and they want to break through by taking such adventures.
But the problem is, the person in front of her doesn’t seem like a loose cultivator at all.
The physical strength of the other person is not something an ordinary loose cultivator can achieve.
"Speaking of it, it was also my good luck." Cao Zhen intentionally showed a fearful expression and said, "The Murderous Night Clan seems to choose appropriate opponents according to our strength.
Those experts in the Immortal Path Domain faced Murderous Night Clan members equivalent to their domain, whereas I faced those of the Indestructible Period.
That’s how I luckily escaped. If it were the Immortal Path Domain Murderous Night Clan attacking me, I would have probably died in this desert sooner."
But the Dual Sword Immortal just stared at Cao Zhen and said, "Oh? However, I saw you before, Taoist Ye, being attacked by two Murderous Night Clan members."
"That’s why I say I was lucky." Cao Zhen casually made up a story, "Earlier on the road, I also encountered a Dao Companion of the Indestructible Period, and one of the two Murderous Night Clan members went off to chase that Dao Companion."
He sighed lightly and said, "I don’t know if that Dao Companion survived."
"Since they haven’t arrived here, they likely perished." The Dual Sword Immortal said this and simply sat down beside Cao Zhen. She was really interested in this cultivator, particularly in his physical strength, and she couldn’t understand why he had such physical strength.
After first seeing him, she even had the urge to act directly and force him to reveal the cultivation technique he practiced.
But she held back.
Because she thought of a possibility: could this person be playing the pig to eat the tiger, or intentionally hiding his identity for some special reason?
The All-encompassing Sect is the foremost body refinement teaching in the Eastern Province, but even they can’t make their physical strength far exceed that of the Murderous Night Clan at the same cultivation realm.
They couldn’t do it, and in the entire Eastern Province, only the Four Treasures Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect could achieve this.
It was only after waking up that she learned about the Hundred Peaks Sect and about Cao Zhen.
She had even heard that Cao Zhen and Xiang Ziyu, during the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills stage, had physical strength reaching the Golden Core Period Limit.
Moreover, the All-encompassing Sect had learned from many of their friendly Dao Companions that the disciples of the Four Treasures Peak had an extremely terrifying physical strength, and they even felt that the people of the Four Treasures Peak were physically stronger than those of their own sect.
In other words, the cultivation technique for body tempering at the Four Treasures Peak was stronger than theirs!
Their temporary sect hierarch during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, as well as those of the Longevity Period and the Indestructible Period, had thought about exterminating the Hundred Peaks Sect to acquire the body tempering cultivation technique from Cao Zhen.
After all, the foundation of their All-encompassing Sect was their physical strength.
Now that there was a power exceeding theirs in physical strength, how could they remain unmoved?
But every time, they refrained from taking action.
The Hundred Peaks Sect was capable of producing numerous top experts in every period!
Even the Weeping Blood Demon Sect and the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, two great teachings joining forces to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect, could not destroy it. In fact, the Hundred Peaks Sect counterattacked, wiping out one of the great teachings and forcing the other to hide in the Blood River.
Today, with the awakening of those in the Immortal Path Domain, their new temporary sect hierarch also considered attacking the Hundred Peaks Sect.
But since the Hundred Peaks Sect is a Grand Righteous Sect and the All-encompassing Sect also belongs to a Grand Righteous Sect, attacking them without reason seemed unjustifiable.
Moreover, the Hundred Peaks Sect was also friendly with the Dragon Chant Sect and the Yin Yang Sect, so they did not directly attack the Hundred Peaks Sect.
But even for the Four Treasures Peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect, it’s impossible to ensure that their people surpass and far exceed the Murderous Night Clan within the same cultivation realm.
Therefore, the person in front of her could only be one possible case.
He wasn’t really an Indestructible Period at all, but someone in the Immortal Path Domain like herself, which is why his physical strength exceeded an Indestructible Period of the Murderous Night Clan.
Someone had come, hiding their Cultivation Base and even their identity. What was this person trying to do?
Or perhaps, what did he know?
Her heart stirred, and she took the initiative to speak, "Being alone in this dangerous land does seem rather perilous.
