Chapter 1510: Chapter 1510: The Mission Continues
Mandy Wood, though she is a Demon Cultivator and has experienced Qi deviation, greatly increasing her strength.
She is, after all, just a Demon Cultivator at the peak of the Transcending Mortal Realm, and logically speaking, it shouldn’t have been possible for her to escape despite being intercepted by a group of outer sect elders and stewards.
Moreover, Mandy killed so many outer sect disciples—such malicious acts were enough to shock the entire Moon Radiance Sect’s upper ranks.
Even the outer sect Grand Elder ’Pov Easton’ would intervene in this matter.
Pov Easton, who Wyatt Barnes had dealt with before, was known for being able to contend with inner sect elders in terms of strength. With him taking action, how could Mandy possibly have had any chance to escape?
"It’s said that Mandy used ’Blood Escape.’"
Trevor Baillie remarked.
’Blood Escape?!’
Wyatt’s pupils contracted—he naturally knew what ’Blood Escape’ was.
"Blood Escape is a technique that only Demon Cultivators who have entered the Saint Realm can perform... Does that an Mandy has already broken through to the Saint Realm?"
Wyatt’s heart trembled.
A Demon Cultivator in the Saint Realm performing the Blood Escape technique moves at a speed comparable to that of Saint Realm powerhouses.
The Blood Escape technique, once activated, cos with terrifyingly severe side effects, but its speed is absurd, capable of surpassing a major cultivation tier.
So, even if Mandy was only a Saint Realm early-stage Demon Cultivator, successfully activating the Blood Escape technique would an that anyone below the Saint Realm could forget about catching her.
"Speaking of this Mandy, it seems she joined the sect at the sa ti as you did, Junior Brother?"
Trevor Baillie exclaid, "Who would have thought? Among the disciples recruited by the sect this ti, besides you, there would be soone so monstrous... It’s a pity she killed people within the sect, ensuring she’d never be tolerated by the sect."
"Also, having perford the Blood Escape technique, her future achievents are bound to be significantly diminished."
Trevor Baillie said.
The Blood Escape technique can be used at most three tis in a lifeti by Saint Realm Demon Cultivators.
The third usage signifies the end of one’s life—a complete collapse of body and soul.
Therefore, the average Demon Cultivator, if desiring to survive, would dare to perform the Blood Escape technique only twice at most.
Furthermore, each activation inflicts imnse side effects on the user.
These side effects not only shorten the cultivator’s lifespan but also severely hinder their future progress in cultivation.
"Pov Easton might have a hard ti explaining this to the Sect Leader and the others."
Trevor Baillie shook his head, murmuring softly.
However, given Wyatt’s extraordinary hearing—as soone who had opened ninety-nine Saint Veins—he easily caught Trevor Baillie’s muttering.
To this, Wyatt could understand.
Pov Easton, after all, was the Grand Elder of the outer sect, responsible for overseeing everything related to the outer disciples.
As the person in charge, such an incident happening under his jurisdiction—as well as failing to apprehend the culprit—would undoubtedly warrant punishnt.
"Junior Brother, regarding Mandy Wood’s successful escape, keep this information to yourself and don’t spread it around... Officially, the sect is claiming that Mandy has already been captured, and her execution will happen soon,"
Trevor Baillie said.
"I understand,"
Wyatt nodded.
Although Trevor didn’t elaborate on the reasons, Wyatt could easily deduce them.
The Moon Radiance Sect’s upper ranks were undoubtedly concerned that news of Mandy’s escape would spread, plunging outer sect disciples into another wave of panic.
Only by claiming Mandy’s capture could the sect quell the fear among outer disciples, restoring peace to the outer sect.
Three days later, the Moon Radiance Sect’s Sect Leader ordered the execution of ’Mandy Wood.’
On that day, Wyatt also attended.
When he saw ’Mandy’ tied in the center of the execution ground surrounded by a massive crowd, even Wyatt couldn’t help but secretly marvel, "Such a masterful disguise technique—it’s almost indistinguishable from the real thing! If I didn’t already know Mandy had escaped, I might actually believe this person was her."
"Is that Mandy? The Demon Cultivator who killed twenty-three outer sect disciples?"
"Demon Cultivators are ticking ti bombs... If you ask , the sect should establish rules forbidding the recruitnt of Demon Cultivators."
"Agreed! As long as such a rule is in place, incidents like this can be entirely prevented."
...
Many Moon Radiance Sect disciples discussed hotly, and even so inner sect disciples showed lingering fear when ntioning ’Demon Cultivators.’
"Hmph! You’re discriminating against Demon Cultivators! So what if soone is a Demon Cultivator? I, for one, have never experienced Qi deviation. And don’t forget, among the few Saint Realm experts in the sect, two of them are Demon Cultivators... Where does this leave Demon Cultivators if you disdain them this much?"
One inner sect disciple who was also a Demon Cultivator expressed dissatisfaction.
For a mont, the Moon Radiance Sect disciples fell into silence.
Indeed, among the sect’s Saint Realm experts, two of them were Demon Cultivators.
It was evident that making a rule to ban Demon Cultivators from the sect was unlikely to happen.
What followed was swift. One of the Moon Radiance Sect’s Law Enforcent Elders personally executed ’Mandy Wood.’
After killing ’Mandy,’ he scanned the surroundings and said in a commanding voice, "The sect has never excluded Demon Cultivators because of their rapid cultivation speed and unparalleled combat capabilities... However, Demon Cultivators are always Demon Cultivators, and to the sect, they are akin to a ’double-edged sword.’"
"This sword has served the sect well until recently, when an anomaly like ’Mandy Wood’ appeared!"
The Law Enforcent Elder’s speech left Wyatt feeling sleepy; the words seed too formulaic.
He didn’t need to pay attention to the subsequent remarks to predict their content.
It was bound to involve admonishing other Demon Cultivators.
"Here, I warn the Demon Cultivator disciples of the sect: Avoid triggering Qi deviation during cultivation. Even if there’s a risk, make sure you’re far away from the sect when taking such risks... Otherwise, if sothing happens within the sect, Mandy Wood will beco your example!"
Just as Wyatt anticipated, the Law Enforcent Elder’s words contained advice aid at the Demon Cultivators present.
The ssage was clear.
Demon Cultivators, if lacking certainty during cultivation, should venture far from the sect to practice.
That way, even if Qi deviation occurs, it wouldn’t affect the sect.
If anything like that were to take place within the sect, leading to killing, the consequence would only be death!
Indeed, the Elder’s words were impactful, making the faces of the Demon Cultivator disciples visibly tense.
With Mandy Wood’s example laid bare, they dared not grow careless.
Mandy’s story thus ca to an end, and the Moon Radiance Sect gradually resud its tranquility.
Using Trevor Baillie’s influence within the sect, Wyatt quickly obtained an inner sect disciple token.
Wyatt officially entered the Moon Radiance Sect’s inner sect, taking residence at Trevor Baillie’s estate.
Due to Trevor Baillie’s backing, although Wyatt was a new arrival in the inner sect, few dared to provoke him.
In the following days, Wyatt ventured into the third level of the Seven-Treasure Jewel Tower, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the atmosphere and the Holy Stones, rapidly advancing his cultivation.
Wyatt eagerly sought to break into the ’Saint Realm mid-phase’!
Once achieving the mid-phase of the Saint Realm, he could wield the ’True Qi Condensation Weapon’ technique.
At that point, his combat power would undergo a qualitative transformation.
"Once I master True Qi Condensation Weapon, I’ll have the confidence to defeat even the strongest Saint Realm Small Perfection experts! However, against a peak Saint Realm practitioner, things would be uncertain, given their mastery of the ’True Qi Domain’ technique."
Wyatt vividly recalled the awe-inspiring power of True Qi Domain.
The assassin suspected of coming from the Shadow Mountain Black Market had conjured the ’Blood Demon Field,’ effortlessly suppressing Wyatt despite his use of the Three-Star Divine Travel Talisman.
Within the Blood Demon Field, each blood demon possessed terrifying strength.
"I wonder what kind of domain I’ll acquire upon breaking into the Saint Realm peak?"
This thought filled Wyatt with anticipation.
While True Qi Condensation Weapon and True Qi Condensation Beast techniques allowed for personal choice, the True Qi Domain wasn’t sothing cultivators could select; it was considered a divine ’gift.’ Of course, what was gifted always suited the user perfectly.
Just like the Shadow Mountain assassin who was a Demon Cultivator, his domain was the ’Blood Demon Field,’ a sphere well-tailored to his abilities.
While Wyatt was focused on cultivating, Moon Radiance Sect inner elder ’Evander Mullins’ returned to Thas River City, arriving at the Shadow Mountain Black Market’s branch office in the Nine-Sect Alliance region.
His purpose was simple—to learn if the task he commissioned had failed.
And if it did fail, what would co next?
"It really failed?"
Although prepared for the worst, learning the task had indeed failed left Evander Mullins grim-faced beneath his ghoulish mask.
"Honored guest, the failure of your task resulted from us underestimating your target... As per our Shadow Mountain Black Market regulations, we will refund twice the commission amount to you."
The Shadow Mountain representatives apologized.
In other words, if Evander Mullins had paid sixteen six-star Holy Stones for Wyatt Barnes’ death, he would now receive double for free.
Yet, Evander wasn’t thrilled about this.
"What if I want to continue this task?"
He inquired.
Evander still presud the task failed due to the weakness of the Black Market’s chosen assassin.
"If you wish to proceed with the task, there’s no need for additional commissions; we will only request that you grant our Shadow Mountain Black Market more ti."
The representative explained.
"Fine! I’ll continue the task... Make sure to send stronger people this ti, don’t disappoint
again."
Evander’s tone conveyed clear displeasure.
"Rest assured, honored guest, our Shadow Mountain Black Market will not fail you a second ti."
The representative assured.
After Evander left, two high-ranking officers of the Shadow Mountain Black Market convened once more in a private room at the Thas River City branch regarding Evander’s task.
The two figures were ’Ivan Nether’ and ’Richard Thai.’
Ivan Nether was one of the leaders of the Thas River City branch office, managing day-to-day affairs.
Richard Thai was the ’ace’ of the Shadow Mountain Black Market in the Nine-Sect Alliance region, rotating between various branch offices. By coincidence, he was now stationed at Thas River City.
Richard Thai was also the sa Shadow Mountain Black Market expert who had once killed the forr Sect Leader of the Mysterious Rune Sect!
