Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Evil Cultivation Technique

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

In addition, the road was relatively wide and flat, so there was no problem walking at night.

However, traveling through the wilderness at night was very risky.

There were many wild beasts in the wild, and nighttime was precisely the time when they were active.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.

On the quiet road, there were only the sounds of horses’ hooves and the rolling of carriage wheels.

Occasionally, there were also beast roars coming from afar.

Li Qian vigilantly observed the surroundings.

After passing Immortal Forest Town, the nearest city was Anling County City.

At the current speed, it would probably be late at night when they reached Anling County City.

In this world, except for prefectural cities and county cities, a curfew was basically implemented, and the city gates were already closed, making it impossible to enter the city.

Although there were some villages along the way, it was impossible for them to stay for the night in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, it was not yet late autumn in this season, and the temperature at night was not particularly low, so spending the night in the wild was not a big problem, but they needed to guard against wild beasts.

After walking for more than an hour like this, they arrived near a village.

The village was pitch black, with almost no lights visible.

At this time, since there was not much entertainment, everyone had basically gone to sleep.

“Let’s rest for a night near this village and set off again tomorrow morning.”

Li Qian said.

In places where people lived, wild beasts generally stayed away, making it much safer.

They found a rather wide and flat place, and the carriages were parked side by side. The horses pulling the carriages were tied to the side, and the two coachmen took out spare fodder and began to feed the horses.

The people in the carriages also came out to get some fresh air.

Li Qian jumped onto a large tree nearby, sat on a branch with his sword in his arms, and looked down from above, vigilantly guarding the surroundings.

A burst of barking came from the village.

The small convoy stopped, alerting the dogs in the village.

The dogs in the village barked for a long time before quieting down, occasionally barking a few more times.

However, there were still no lights lit in the village, and no one came out to take a look.

Or rather, they dared not.

“Big brother, I want to climb the tree and play too.”

The little girl Yun Wen and the other two children came to the bottom of the tree and said longingly.

“Xiao Wen, don’t disturb Young Hero Li. Let’s go eat something.”

Lin Yun hurriedly said.

She knew that Li Qian was on guard. If her daughter disturbed him, it would be easy for him to get distracted, and it would be troublesome if there was an accident.

She took her daughter back to the carriage.

After the three children chattered for a while, they gradually quieted down.

After all, they had been traveling for a whole day and were definitely tired. After eating something, they fell asleep in the carriage.

The coachmen and servants also leaned against the carriages to rest.

Li Qian did not eat anything, but silently swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill.

One Qi and Blood Pill could basically meet his physical needs for two or three days when he was not cultivating or recovering his internal energy.

When traveling outside, he basically did not eat other food.

Because there was a risk.

The night was as still as water.

As the night deepened, the air was filled with mist, adding a bit of chill.

Soft snoring came from the carriages.

The coachman from the Lin Residence and the two servants were already sound asleep.

Only the coachman from the Yun Residence was very vigilant. His breathing was very even, and he was still on alert.

Li Qian closed his eyes, leaned against the tree trunk, held his sword in his arms, and was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

As long as there was any movement, he could perceive the outside world immediately.

He had woken up many times during this period.

Every time, it was just wild animals passing by.

The dogs in the village also barked occasionally, followed by long periods of silence.

Suddenly, a figure swiftly approached from afar.

The speed was extremely fast.

The target was actually the carriages.

Li Qian in the tree suddenly opened his eyes and saw through the dim moonlight that the figure seemed to have disheveled hair and a chaotic and violent aura all over his body.

It was like a ferocious beast.

“Is it him?”

Li Qian recognized him at a glance.

It was the Fire Ritual Master from Immortal Forest Town, the one wearing the crimson robe.

The robe on the Fire Ritual Master was already tattered.

“Did he have a fight with the Inner Sect disciples of Divine Sword Sect and then run out?”

Li Qian thought to himself.

At the same time, he moved, like a night owl, and flew down from the tree. He immediately drew his sword and stabbed towards the figure rushing towards the carriages.

◈◈◈

At the same time, he used the bell sound attack of the Law Instrument Time Bell.

Hum!

While still in the air, the invisible bell sound was transmitted.

It was like a huge bell, exploding in the mind of the rushing figure.

The figure’s ferocious momentum instantly stagnated.

After Li Qian landed, his sword light flickered, like a nimble dragon blooming in the night sky, and smoothly pierced into the man’s chest.

Bang!

The sharp edge of the sword, as if it had hit a piece of taut cowhide, only pierced in a little bit.

At the same time, a burst of blood light erupted from the man’s body, directly repelling his sword. His eyes were blood red, and he was as crazy as a wild beast.

“What kind of evil cultivation technique is this?”

Li Qian was startled.

His sword strike, under the sonic attack of the bell, had actually failed to kill the opponent.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to use his strongest killing move.

Secret Technique: Myriad Transforming Sword Qi.

In an instant, his powerful internal energy surged out of his body, combining with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the air. With him as the center, a large amount of sword qi gathered, guided by the long sword in his hand.

A dazzling sword qi, one zhang long, formed and fiercely slashed towards the crazed figure.

“In… Innate.”

The disheveled figure, with blood light entwined around his body, let out a hoarse and terrified voice and actually turned to run.

But how could he escape Li Qian’s Myriad Transforming Sword Qi?

As the dazzling sword qi swept past, the figure was directly cut in half while running, looking extremely gruesome.

“That’s it?”

Li Qian looked at the enemy who was easily killed by the Myriad Transforming Sword Qi and couldn’t help but be stunned.

Had he used too much force just now?

Feeling that nearly half of his internal energy had been consumed, Li Qian couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

The power of the Myriad Transforming Sword Qi was abnormally great.

He guessed that it was most likely because after cultivating the Immaculate Sword Body, it had a strong amplification effect on this secret technique.

Everyone who had been resting at the scene was awakened.

The coachman immediately guarded the door of his mistress’s carriage, holding a fine iron smoking pipe in his hand, his expression very nervous.

The two servants held their weapons, but their ankles were trembling.

The aura fluctuations from the fight just now were too terrifying.

“Get ready quickly, we’re leaving here immediately.”

Li Qian hurriedly said.

This Fire Ritual Master had suddenly appeared here, and no one knew what would happen next.

Hearing Li Qian’s calm voice, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of security in their hearts.

So, everyone got busy.

Li Qian looked at the two halves of the corpse, and the strong smell made him frown.

He had no intention of cleaning it up.

It was too disgusting.

However, he still went up and carefully searched the body.

There was a small pouch at the waist containing something.

The bottles and jars inside seemed to be broken.

Finally, he found a cowhide booklet.

It was kept close to the man’s chest.

However, the cowhide booklet had been neatly split in half by the sword qi.

He pieced it together, and the five words on the cover were ━ Blood Transformation and Star Absorption Method.

He carefully flipped through it.

Immediately, he frowned.

Judging from the content at the beginning, this was definitely an evil cultivation technique.

It could absorb the essence and blood of living beings and quickly refine it into internal energy.

He hadn’t read the rest yet, but it was definitely not going to be good.

He was about to shatter the cowhide booklet with his internal energy, but suddenly he had a thought and ultimately decided to keep it. So, he took out a silk handkerchief from his bag, wrapped the two halves of the cowhide booklet, and put it in his bag.

By this time, the two carriages were ready.

“Let’s go.”

Li Qian mounted his horse and led the convoy to continue their journey through the night.

As for the two halves of the corpse, the people in the nearby village would report it to the authorities after they found it.

Moreover, the Inner Sect disciples of Divine Sword Sect from Immortal Forest Town were definitely pursuing this person as well, and they might follow them here.
