Chapter 309
309 REUNION WITH THE BLACKDEVIL-“Is it that important for us to risk our lives for this treasure? Young master’s cultivation is already at the peak of Qi King. He should be able to reach the Qi Emperor realm before thirty quite easily.”
“There is a reason why you are still a captain while he was able to gain the position of commander even when both of you have the same level of cultivation. Age is a different matter. What matters the most is foresight. Do you think the Heaven Cleaver sect would have some mediocre power when its basic requirements are for one to reach the level of Qi Emperor before the age of thirty?”
“They are surely a top tier power and are filled with incredible geniuses from around the world. Do you think that reaching Qi Emperor before attaining the age of thirty would be a meritorious achievement? Every single cultivator there would have done the same. Young master doesn’t want to be the same as any disciple. He wants to reach the very top of the world.”
“The only way to do so is to acquire incredible powers before the age of thirty. Masters wants him to use the treasure and inheritance found within the treasure site and increase his strength to the highest possible level before thirty. From what I infer, he wants to reach the intermediate level of Qi Emperor at the very least. His actual aim is to enter the advanced layer of QI Emperor before the age of thirty.”
“By doing so he would be recognized as a top-grade talent within that force and he would be able to acquire the support of the top echelon within the sect. Only then could he think of reaching the top. The Black Devil church needs to rely on him to climb up the heavens. We would risk everything for the young master.”
The figures reached the inner region of Misty Ridge. The ridge was dangerous not only because of the cold energy, but the number of beasts that were present in it. Slaughter was a common occurrence and so was banditry. Humans were the worst enemy of all. They decided to prepare a small camp in hidden regions and began preparing for the ambush.
Later that night, another man reached the location where the group was preparing for the ambush to occur. He slowly approached the camp using tablets in his hand. Soo enough al the figures appeared in his field of vision.
“We greet Devil Commander Li.” One of the leaders spoke up.
“There is no reason to be so formal in my presence. I assume that the preparation for the operation is complete.” It was none other than Li Xuanfa, the young master of Black Devil church and a holder of one of the inheritances from the Heaven Cleaver sect.
.....
“Sir the initial set-up is already prepared. Our target this time is the Emerald Amethyst Hall’s young master. According to the spies he possesses a Purple Amethyst armor which was gifted to him by one of the faction elders in regards to his talents. He is sure to become a holy son with his current strength of the peak Qi King realm.”
“Who do you think is stronger, me or him?” Li Xuanfa asked with a serious tone.
“You are the inheritor of the blood-devil as well as one of the inheritors of the Heaven Cleaver sect. There are not many people who could compare to you.”
“But the Holy son is said to have connected with two different Heavenly laws. He is incredible”
“Not as incredible as you are. Not only have you managed to connect with three Heavenly laws, but you have also established your sword and spear soul. Who could be your opponents in this world?”
“I have heard that the new inheritance disciple of Thunder Academy has also managed to connect with three Heavenly laws. He has also completed the whole element set with 2 earthen laws and the rest is unknown. We have no idea regarding his proficiency in other areas>” One of the group members said.
“Even then, young master is incredible for his age. Did you forget that the young master also has the Blood magic and Blood soul within him and is a body cultivator? No one in the central plains could measure up to him.” The leader of the group said.
“Your flattery is quite pleasing to the ears but you shouldn’t underestimate the central plains like his. The Black Devil wasn’t even considered to be the top-grade power of the central plains in its heyday. The most powerful geniuses aren’t showing their faces because they are preparing for that event.”
“I have already met people who are far more powerful and talented than me in the past. Even now I am not sure whether or not I have managed to surpass him on the grounds of talent.”
“Is master talking about a boy from Jiao country?”
“He is the best opponent I have come across in the past. He managed to compete on equal footing with me even when I was 5 levels above him in cultivation. He even managed to obtain the upper hand in the fight. The only reason I wasn’t injured was that he was wary of my trump cards and the numbers were in our favour.”
“Sadly we lost track of his movement the moment he entered the central plains. But he is bound to appear in this world soon. I and my sister went through hell to obtain multiple inheritances and an incredible amount of resources were spent. I need to obtain this resource if I want to formulate the element-King body.”
“Only when I obtain that would I be able to reach greater heights before my time of preparation is p for the Heaven Cleaver sect.”
“We will assist you to the best of our limit young master.”
“Prepare carefully for the event. We can’t let anyone among the group escape from this location. Being the provisional holy son, he is sure to have some protection sigil that would convey his status to the Emeral Amethyst Hall. Killing him and the other would inevitably arouse the wrath of the hall, but they wouldn’t be able to identify the perpetrator if we don’t leave any survivors.”
“Is there any other force which is supposed to have an expedition into the Misty Ridge?”
“We have heard that the Birchcorpse sect and the Penang valley are already in the depths of Misty Ridge collecting resources and killing beasts. There is also a rumour that the merchant guilds are trying to formulate teams that could enter the Misty Valley and collect resources for them. If they have enough frost lilies, they could gain a good monopoly in the market.”
“There are also hordes of independent cultivators who have come into the Misty Ridge in the last couple of days. We need to prepare for any sudden disturbances.”
“We need to isolate the Emerald Amethyst group. Kill everyone in the surrounding area of 1 KM. Also, collect and plant frost lilies in and around the region. Spread the rumor that this is the best location to find frost lilies. If anyone other than the Emerald Amethyst tries to enter this area, actively hunt them down. You can use two of the units who came with me. As per the rest of the units, you will be setting up a base for us.”
“The location needs to be in the deepest part you could reach and far from here. The Emerald Amethyst hall is bound to send reinforcements to survey the actual reason for the holy son’s death.”
“I have also asked for reinforcements to wait for some distance away and surround the whole region. They will not only take care of any extra baggage but also kill the Emeral Amethyst group if necessary.” Li Xuanfa said n a stern tone.
“Don’t this seems to be too overboard sir?” The leader asked. ” The holy son isn’t even protected by powerful Qi Emperors.”
“We can never be too sure about the situation. This provisional holy son is no small deal. I have heard rumors that his background is quite substantial in the Emerald Amethyst hall. He is sure to have some hidden protection.”
“Don’t we have support from the Qi Emperors elders in our group? They are stationed in the mist village for now.”
“They are here to help me take the treasure away and guard the inheritance with me. We can never be sure of the situation. If words get out that there is such a powerful inheritance in here, every single force within the Misty Village will damage this place. We can’t ask for their help in this situation as they might alert the Qi Emperors within the village. Let them stay hidden.”
“It is essentially up to us to execute the mission.” The leader bowed and left to do the task assigned to them.

Water-Mist Village-
“I hope sir Meng is ready.” The manager said.
“I am.” Li Meng proceeded to meet the group of Qi kings who would be accompanying them into the valley. ” Out of the people assembled here, half are the subordinates of our guild, while the other half are mercenaries like you.”
