My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 207 - 140: Incense Burner, Expedition to Ming State6

Because he truly had no idea what West Qi Kingdom was waiting for.

Such a large-scale battle couldn’t possibly rely on the "feelings" of one Thousand Captain. The current plan, theoretically speaking, was without issues, and one could only take it one step at a ti.

"Then, I shall take my leave."

Chen Sansi stepped out of the tent.

He looked at the soldiers coming and going, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of poignancy; war was imminent again.

In these days, the world was truly in chaos.

However, before setting off, he still had an important matter to attend to.

The Taoists of Ci Yun Temple!

He needed to co up with a plan to take care of them first and probe their actual strength and intentions.

...

The next day, at Ci Yun Temple.

In a secluded pavilion courtyard.

A middle-aged Taoist with a ruddy complexion sat cross-legged, eyes closed in ditation, as a gentle spring breeze caressed his face, causing his long beard, which nearly reached his chest, to flutter along with his wide Taoist robe.

This man was none other than the current temple master of Ci Yun Temple, Yu Xuzi.

Qiu Mingzi appeared, interrupting the Taoist’s ditation.

After a long while, Yu Xuzi slowly opened his eyes, "Brother, you have returned."

"Brother!"

Qiu Mingzi began, "I’ve given the item to that Chen kid. How are things going?"

"My gu has not responded."

Yu Xuzi shook his head slightly, "Either he threw it away or he destroyed it outright."

"No wonder he has repeatedly declined our invitations to the sermon conferences. It seems this kid has truly sensed sothing amiss."

Qiu Mingzi felt this was strange, "But... the ingredient in the Nourishing Spirit Soup is not of the mortal world, how did he detect it? Could it be Sun Xiangzong... Brother, this is a serious matter, what should we do next?"

"We’ll probe further, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll find an opportunity to kill him."

Yu Xuzi spoke indifferently, "After all, he is only in the Refining Internal stage, and I have already achieved ridian Passage. Killing him would be as easy as turning my hand over."

"Temple master, supervisor! Disaster has struck!"

While they were conversing, a young Taoist stumbled in.

"What is this panicked state?"

Qiu Mingzi scolded, "Speak up, quickly!"

"Liangzhou soldiers, Liangzhou soldiers!"

The young Taoist pointed in the direction of the foot of the mountain and said, "That Lu Ji, all of a sudden he’s brought thousands of troops, surrounding the mountain, claiming soone has reported that we’re harboring Witch God Sect Followers, and they want to search the mountain."

"What?"

Yu Xuzi quickly got up and joined his brother at the mountain gate.

At the forefront was the mountain-like figure of Lu Ji, and by his side was a young general wielding an Azure Dragon Crescent blade.

Cao Fan, his face full of anger, commanded his subordinates, "Search everything! Dig three feet into the ground, leave no stone unturned!"

"Temple master, this man is the Crown Prince’s eldest son!" Qiu Mingzi whispered.

"I have seen the Young Master before."

Yu Xuzi greeted, "What brings the Young Master here?"

"I suspect you have colluded with the Witch God Sect!"

Cao Fan rebuked, "Taoist, where were you three days ago? The convoy outside the city, was it you who killed them?"

Yu Xuzi promptly explained, "Young Master, this is a misunderstanding!"

Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is not for you to say!"

Cao Fan’s eyes signaled.

Sha Wenlong suddenly appeared, his Broadsword chopping down ruthlessly with endless murderous intent.

"Clang!"

Yu Xuzi was shocked, quickly drew his sword to block, but still staggered back several steps and finally sat down on the ground with a thud.

"You have achieved ridian Passage?"

Lu Ji inquired, "Taoist priest, according to the laws of Dasheng, Sect mbers are required to test their realms annually without any concealnt. If you have broken through to ridian Passage, why did you not report it?"

Yu Xuzi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "General Lu, you wrong . I have always been traveling and have only just broken through. I was in a rush to return to report, but I haven’t had the chance yet..."

"Are you sure?"

Lu Ji’s broad hand, resembling that of a Five-finger Mountain, pressed down on the other party, immobilizing him completely until he confird that the individual had no hidden strength. Then he released his grip, "Take him down for questioning, everyone else, search!"

At the command, hundreds of people surged into the mountain gate to begin their search.

"General Lu."

Cao Fan hurriedly inquired, "How did it go?"

Lu Ji replied, "He’s just at the early stage of ridian Passage."

"So you an, it wasn’t him?"

Cao Fan had received news last night that Ci Yun Temple was connected to the Witch God Sect. The first thing he thought of was the deceased Yin Hanwen, then he sought people to kill, seeking revenge.

But to instantly kill Wei Gong, at the least, the killer had to be at the Profound Image Realm.

The Taoist before them obviously didn’t qualify.

Their only option was to see if there were others hidden away.

"Search!" Find your next read on .Côm

"Search thoroughly now!"

"..."

Chen Sansi directed his subordinates while he himself went into the main hall to search everywhere.

It was naturally him who had secretly reported the activity, and he’d best ensure he was left out of it, lest the troubles of Ci Yun Temple later be linked to him.

Cao Fan was really zealous about this matter.

It seed he did share true feelings with Yin Hanwen.

To cause such a commotion.

On the one hand, Chen Sansi wanted to see if Ci Yun Temple was indeed colluding with the Witch God Sect.

Zhang Huaimin and Huang Tianrong, both of them had evil Qi within their bodies.

And their commonality was that they had both visited Ci Yun Temple and drunk the Nourishing Spirit Soup.

On the other hand, he wanted to see what kind of power the temple master of Ci Yun Temple possessed.

Chen Sansi wouldn’t dare to take the risk alone.

Now, it appeared there truly had been a breakthrough in ridian Passage.

But there was no Qingxuan Energy or Purple Energy within him.

He could be killed!

The prerequisite was to wait a while longer.

However, Chen Sansi needed more ti to accumulate Spiritual Energy again.

Using the search as a pretense, he picked up the incense burner shrouded in Purple Energy, savored it intensely, feeling as comfortable as a fish in water!

If he could take it ho, he could fully advance his Sword Qi Skill to proficiency or even to a small achievent!

Of course, not now.

To take an incense burner ho in front of so many people would make it obvious that sothing was amiss.

Chen Sansi could only temporarily leave his incense burner at Ci Yun Temple.

Once the battle in Ming State was over, he would imdiately return to retrieve it and take it ho.

Alchemy furnace, the incense for cultivation, he would have everything all at once!

"Unjustly accused!"

The Taoists were still crying out their innocence.

Until soon after, a soldier discovered a blood-stained Vajra Pestle in the back mountain.

Cao Fan thundered with fury, "Old man, you still claim you’re not colluding with the Witch God Sect!"

"Young Master, this is defamation, defamation!"

"Soone!"

Lu Ji commanded sternly, "Lock all the Taoists of Ci Yun Temple in Liangzhou Prison."

Watching as Brother Yu Xuzi and his fellow disciples were dragged away.

Chen Sansi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Once they entered the prison and if they didn’t die, they would still be stripped of their skins, unable to co out for a long while.

He could finally embark on the campaign without worry.
