Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#283 - Chapter 282 Interrogation

The cultivator spewed vile words, causing Fire Crow Daoist to frown. Before he could speak, Liu Jinglong soared into the sky, shouting, "Where did you come from, you thief, daring to spout nonsense? Come down here!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and an umbrella-shaped magical artifact flew up. With each opening and closing, several fireballs shot out like missiles.

In recent years, Liu Jinglong had been following Fire Crow Daoist and Zhang Yuanjing, undisturbed by trivial matters and supported by numerous elixirs. He had diligently cultivated, laying a solid foundation. The shortcomings in his previous cultivation had also been corrected under the guidance of Fire Crow Daoist, leading to great progress in his cultivation. He was only half a step away from breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

The magical artifact he controlled was called the Fire Cloud Umbrella, a high-grade fire-attribute artifact, balanced in offense and defense, durable in battle, and unafraid of numerous enemies. It was forged for him by Fire Crow Daoist.

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was prepared. His figure rose, and a silver halo appeared beneath his feet,迎迎迎 towards the fireballs. At the same time, he roared, "Fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three consecutive "bang, bang, bang" sounds were heard. Three mushroom-shaped black clouds shot out from the so-called "Soul-Cleaving Cannon" and flew towards Liu Jinglong, their speed no slower than the fireballs he launched with the Fire Cloud Umbrella.

"Huh, it's clearly a kind of smoke, but it's heavier than stone!" Fire Crow Daoist said in surprise.

"It's a bit like... hmm, mixed with meteoric dust?" Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense landed on the black cloud, and a doubtful expression appeared in his eyes. He said somewhat uncertainly.

"Meteoric dust?" Fire Crow Daoist and Yuan Zhilin both looked puzzled.

"Boom!"

Liu Jinglong also realized that the three black mushroom clouds were unusual. He quickly opened the Fire Cloud Umbrella and poured his magical power into it. Instantly, blazing flames filled the sky, creating a sea of fire in a range of several dozen feet in front of him.

The three black mushroom clouds rushed into the sea of fire and exploded violently. Countless black dust particles splattered in all directions, but most of them surged towards Liu Jinglong on their own.

Liu Jinglong had no time to dodge and could only wrap himself in the Fire Cloud Umbrella and quickly fall downwards.

However, the black dust seemed to be attracted to the Fire Cloud Umbrella, like a swarm of flying insects, pouncing on him. In an instant, countless black dust particles adhered to the Fire Cloud Umbrella, rapidly eroding its spiritual energy.

The originally bright red Fire Cloud Umbrella instantly dimmed, its surface covered with potholes and patches of rust.

"This dust can devour spiritual energy, and so quickly!"

As he spoke, Fire Crow Daoist had already taken to the air and swept out a palm strike. His magical power swept across Liu Jinglong's body, instantly clearing away the black dust without harming him in the slightest.

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, after breaking Liu Jinglong's fireballs, was originally complacent, thinking that the enemy before him was doomed. At this moment, he was shocked.

Pointing at Fire Crow Daoist, he asked in a trembling voice, "You, who exactly are you?"

If a Core Formation cultivator didn't want low-level cultivators to recognize his cultivation level, even if the low-level cultivator was standing next to him, he wouldn't notice anything.

However, Fire Crow Daoist's actions clearly exceeded the level that this person could understand.

"Master, leave the rest to me!" Seeing his master take action, Yuan Zhilin jumped up and掠去 towards the ten or so cultivators who were still two miles away.

Seeing that his grandmaster didn't stop him, Mei Zhenyi followed. Zhang Yu naturally didn't want to fall behind. She summoned the high-grade magical artifact that Zhang Yuanjing had given her and rushed into the sky, flying straight towards the other side.

Fire Crow Daoist ignored the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He reached out and grabbed Liu Jinglong, who was wrapped in the damaged Fire Cloud Umbrella, bringing him to his side. Then, he tapped several times, breaking open the Fire Cloud Umbrella and freeing the pale-faced Liu Jinglong.

Seeing this, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator knew that this white-haired old man was a Core Formation cultivator. Trembling, he fell to the ground, knelt down, and kowtowed forcefully, crying out in a miserable voice, "Senior, spare me, spare me! This junior is ignorant and has offended you. Please, senior, don't hold my offenses against me and spare me this time! This junior was forced to do this to save my life! This junior..."

"Alright, stop saying useless things. Where did that Soul-Cleaving Cannon come from?" Fire Crow Daoist had no interest in this person's background. He directly asked about the cylindrical magical artifact.

"It, it was given by Two Dragon Mountain," the person quickly replied.

"Two Dragon Mountain? Is it a cultivation sect? Where is it?"

"It's not a sect, it's just, just the dojo of two Core Formation stage Grandmasters. It's not too far from here, about a million miles to the northeast."

"Two Core Formation cultivators? Establishing a dojo in this area? If you dare to lie to me, I'll feed you to the fire crows!" Fire Crow Daoist frowned and said in an unkind tone.

At this moment, the sound of fighting came from a few miles away. Yuan Zhilin, Mei Zhenyi, and Zhang Yu had engaged the other bandit cultivators.

"Senior, please don't be angry! Everything this junior said is true. They are two Core Formation cultivators, one is the Fire Dragon King, and the other is the Water Dragon King. They occupy a blessed spiritual mountain and have built hundreds of palaces, taking in many disciples and servants. They also, also captured many loose cultivators like this junior, specializing in robbing passing cultivators."

"Fire Dragon King, Water Dragon King? Hehe!" Fire Crow Daoist immediately became interested. "The spiritual energy here isn't strong. How many cultivators come and go? What can they rob?"

"That's right, senior is wise. This junior hasn't robbed anything at all."

This mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was short and stocky, with a round face and small eyes, putting on a pitiful expression, trying to pour out his grievances in response to Fire Crow Daoist's words.

"Senior doesn't know, this junior didn't originally cultivate in this area. It was just my bad luck. Ten years ago, I went to a mortal kingdom in the southeast to look for someone. When I returned, I ran into the Water Dragon King and was captured by him to Two Dragon Mountain. I was beaten badly, and I couldn't bear it, so I had to submit and do bad things against my conscience—"

"Didn't you know about this Two Dragon Mountain before?" Fire Crow Daoist interrupted his rambling and asked.

The person quickly nodded. "The place where this junior cultivates is at least 1.5 million miles to the northwest of here. How would I know about Two Dragon Mountain? Moreover, the more you go southeast, the closer you get to the Gobi Desert in the south, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes, and the fewer cultivators come. How could I have imagined that there would be Core Formation cultivators establishing a dojo here! If I had known that there was a Core Formation cultivator's dojo here, how would I have dared to pass through here!"

"Are you saying that this Two Dragon Mountain dojo is recent?" Fire Crow Daoist asked, subconsciously looking back at Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

The person blinked a few times and said in an uncertain tone, "This junior doesn't know when it appeared. Anyway, thirty or forty years ago, I hadn't heard anyone mention it."

"What is this Two Dragon Mountain like? Is there anything unusual about it? Or, are there any peculiar places nearby?" Fire Crow Daoist pondered for a moment and then asked.

The person shook his head. "Although Two Dragon Mountain is majestic, there are at most some ordinary spiritual veins underneath. It's impossible for any spiritual objects to appear. The surrounding area is about the same. This junior has been cultivating for almost two hundred years and has never heard of anything special about this place."
