Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1948 1949: Evil Demon Heretics

The black smoke fled very fast, but Ling Zhenfei seemed to hear a miserable scream from Ye Wulong.

Yet even with that scream, the black smoke still shot out of the Wuliang Book Tower's cave, and shouts came from the entrance. Clearly a lot of people from Wuliang Mountain had already arrived outside the Wuliang Book Tower.

There were naturally specialists to track down this kind of matter, and Cloud Mist Hermit had already injured Ye Wulong.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior, aren't you going to give chase? You already injured him just now, maybe you can catch up."

Cloud Mist Hermit smiled and said, "Even if I catch up to that sort, what then? At most I'd just kill him. But Evil Demons and heretical paths are already getting outrageously rampant. The most important thing now is how to keep Evil Demons and heretics under control."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're saying Li Hen Palace is a heretical sect of Evil Demons."

Cloud Mist Hermit said, "That wisp of black smoke that split out of Ye Wulong's body just now—this Cultivation Technique I've seen before in the Foreign Land Space. The Demon Hunters in the Foreign Land Space use this Cultivation Technique.

But the Demon Hunters who use this Cultivation Technique are far stronger than Ye Wulong. Ye Wulong right now is just someone with half-baked strength. If you really ran into a Demon Hunter who has cultivated this Cultivation Technique since childhood, their strength would be nothing to scoff at."

Ling Zhenfei was very surprised in his heart and said, "Senior, do you think it's possible that the Palace Master of Li Hen Palace got his inspiration from Demon Hunters in the Foreign Land Space, and then learned this Cultivation Technique?"

Cloud Mist Hermit said, "In fact, we've had our eyes on the Palace Master of Li Hen Palace for a long time. Ever since he made a high-profile founding of Li Hen Palace a few years ago, we've been paying attention to him.

This person is extremely mysterious. If he really were a promising young newcomer from our side, we'd of course be delighted. But reality is not like that.

We never knew this person even existed before. It's like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere more than ten years ago.

His strength is extremely formidable, but what's even more interesting is his mystery. No one has seen his true face, yet everyone who has fought him says he's incredibly powerful.

A few years ago he founded Li Hen Palace, then began madly expanding. He has forces both domestically and abroad.

He doesn't care where people come from. As long as someone is a bit stronger, he'll take them into Li Hen Palace.

There's even a rumor that he can forcibly raise people's strength, so many have joined Li Hen Palace for that very reason."

Ling Zhenfei said, "People from Li Hen Palace have contacted me before. What they did really shocked me. Maybe that Master of Li Hen Palace really has a problem."

Cloud Mist Hermit said, "What's frightening isn't the Palace Master of Li Hen Palace, but those who will use any means to join Li Hen Palace.

The reason Ye Wulong could enter our Wuliang Mountain so easily today is definitely because there's an insider in Wuliang Mountain. It seems a major purge is necessary.

As the saying goes, 'A thousand-mile levee is destroyed by an ant's nest.' Every sect and organization collapses from within, so we can't be careless."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Senior, there's another thing I don't understand. Why did only you from Wuliang Mountain come just now? If a few more people had come, we might have caught Ye Wulong."

Cloud Mist Hermit laughed and said, "For dealing with such petty scum, I alone am enough. Ever since my first trip to the Foreign Land Space, I've devoted myself to researching and countering those people's Cultivation Techniques. Today was just a little experiment."

Ling Zhenfei recalled how Cloud Mist Hermit had dodged Ye Wulong's attack just now and said, "Ye Wulong also launched a fierce strike just now, but he didn't manage to hurt you at all, Senior."

Cloud Mist Hermit said, "If you run into this kind of Cultivation Technique, you must be careful. Ambushes are where this Cultivation Technique is most effective; in open exchanges like this, it's actually not that useful.

This black smoke is fast, very powerful, and carries poisonous gas. So dodging the first strike is the most important. As long as you're not hit head-on, the poison that follows won't matter much.

If the ambush succeeds, not only will you be battered by the Northern Spiritual Energy carried on it, the poisonous gas inside this black smoke is even more deadly."

Ling Zhenfei nodded. He of course already knew about this poison; Lu Tao and the others had all been tormented by it.

Ling Zhenfei said, "This junior will remember."

Cloud Mist Hermit looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "You already did very well. At the beginning, that move you used to block Ye Wulong's flying sword should've been something you comprehended from the Wuliang Heart Sutra, right?"

Ling Zhenfei was startled when he heard this. So Cloud Mist Hermit had been here for quite a while already; otherwise he wouldn't know how Ling Zhenfei had blocked Ye Wulong's attack.

What shocked Ling Zhenfei the most was that Cloud Mist Hermit even knew that move of his came from the Wuliang Heart Sutra.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, Senior."

Cloud Mist Hermit said, "For you to comprehend that much is already very rare, but the Wuliang Heart Sutra is absolutely not that simple. Right now you only know its form, not its intent.

But that's already impressive enough. I believe as your strength grows, your power will become even greater.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior."

Cloud Mist Hermit said nothing more, turned around, and walked out of the cave.

People like Cloud Mist Hermit are true masters. Just being able to see him and exchange a few words made Ling Zhenfei feel he had benefited enormously.

This matter was over, but it left Ling Zhenfei with a lot to ponder.

He had originally thought he already understood the Wuliang Heart Sutra, but only now did he realize he'd been wrong—terribly wrong.

The Wuliang Heart Sutra is a supreme treasure among cultivators; how could it possibly be so shallow and simple?

Ling Zhenfei thought a lot. If it really were that easy, the many seniors and masters before him would've figured it out long ago. Most likely what he understood was just the smallest and simplest portion.

Thinking as he walked, Ling Zhenfei headed back. When he returned to his lodgings, he found that Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin were already asleep.

Perhaps because of the wine, the two of them were sleeping very soundly.

Ling Zhenfei was also somewhat tired, so he prepared to rest as well.

Too many things had happened tonight. Lying on the bed, just as he was about to sleep, Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of Murong Liuqing, thought of everything he had seen in Murong Liuqing's room.

He thought of Murong Liuqing sleeping soundly, thought of that beautiful face.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei pinched himself hard and muttered in his heart, "Ling Zhenfei, you're having all sorts of wild thoughts. Have you just not seen a woman in too long?"

Ling Zhenfei gave a slight smile, stopped letting his mind wander, sat on the bed, and began cultivation. Although cultivation with Dual Focus is definitely not as effective as cultivating with one's whole heart and mind, the speed is still better than not cultivating at all.

He cultivated all the way until early the next morning. They had originally said they would depart at dawn today, but when morning came, there was still no sign of any movement.

Since Murong Liuqing didn't come to call them, they of course wouldn't take the initiative to bring up departure.

Ling Zhenfei's thinking was precisely that: he was deliberately trying to delay the departure time.
