Chapter 1595: Chapter 1595: From Wulong Mountain?
“Bragging? Anyone can do that.”
Zhan Beiye stepped forward, shielding An Jiuyue behind him, his thin lips slightly curved as he eyed the people before him.
They had indeed spared no expense. Each person facing them had a cultivation level not lower than theirs; Xiang Qifeng had managed to summon all the experts he could find.
“Bragging? Based on you lot?”
The leader of the group snorted contemptuously, his scornful gaze fixed on the few before him.
Suddenly, he signaled one of his subordinates with a covert glance. The man understood at once, leaping into the air, lunging towards Zhan Beiye with a killer move ready to strike him dead in one blow.
Zhan Beiye was in the midst of parrying when suddenly, he was pushed aside.
An Jiuyue, with one hand, pushed Zhan Beiye out of the way, and without courtesy, lashed her long, skeleton whip towards the assailant.
A “snap” sounded.
The man, who had worn a smug expression, suddenly looked crestfallen. Instead of catching An Jiuyue’s whip assuredly and strangling her in return, he found himself violently lashing out the whip, his chest seething with tumultuous blood and Qi.
“What’s happening?”
Even the group’s leader watched his subordinate in disbelief.
He knew the strength of his own men better than anyone else; how could they be injured by such a young girl?
Yet, the reality was that his subordinate had indeed been injured, and judging by his appearance, quite severely so.
“Demonic… a practitioner of demonic energy cultivation!”
The subordinate clutched his weapon with one hand and his roiling chest with the other, staring at An Jiuyue in disbelief.
After a stunned moment, he turned to look at his leader.
“My lord, this woman practices demonic energy cultivation; she does not come from Huayan Peak,” he said.
There was an entrance to Wulong Mountain in their area as well but gaining entry was extremely strict. People like them had neither the opportunity nor the chance.
And yet, this woman, with a cultivation level apparently far below theirs, was a practitioner of demonic energy cultivation.
Moreover, when individuals from the Feather Abyss Plane entered Wulong Mountain, regardless of whether they had cultivated any Demonic energy, once back in their plane, they could only convert a little of that Demonic energy into Original Soul energy.
There was no one who could directly use Demonic energy within the planes; it seemed this woman before them was the first.
The leader furrowed his brows at An Jiuyue upon hearing this.
“She came from Wulong Mountain?”
That was the only explanation there could be.
“An Jiuyue, you…”
It wasn’t only them; even Zhan Beiye was stunned, his mouth agape, not knowing what to ask.
He had never heard Qian Jiyun mention that An Jiuyue had been to Wulong Mountain. Could there be some connection between An Jiuyue and Wulong Mountain, allowing her to utilize Demonic energy within the plane?
“There’s an entrance to Wulong Mountain here?”
An Jiuyue was confused as well; she thought they wouldn’t realize she was using Demonic energy and would simply think her cultivation method was oddly effective at suppressing their powers.
But she hadn’t expected they would actually know of Wulong Mountain.
“Madam Qian, you… yes, the Feather Abyss Plane does have an entrance to Wulong Mountain,” Su Tang exclaimed, genuinely shocked. He had thought An Jiuyue was just a highly skilled pharmacist.
How could he have imagined that Madam Qian might be somehow related to Wulong Mountain?
But then, how could someone who came out of Wulong Mountain enter Huayan Peak and, from there, other planes? This was just too strange!
