Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

This also meant that even if his cultivation had broken through a small realm in the underworld, the Seven-colored term "Step by Step" would not grant him a three-choices opportunity.

But it was unclear whether it would be issued retroactively after returning to the Mortal World.

Chen Qiu shook his head, not dwelling much on this, but prepared to leave the city. According to the information on the Jade Scroll, there was a Devil Clan city three hundred miles away, where the Ghost Cultivators of the Devil Clan liked to feast on Human Ghost Practitioners.

They would occasionally capture solitary Human Ghost Practitioners and turn them into delicious dishes in various ways.

To satisfy their cravings.

The Jade Scroll specifically warned to avoid going west to prevent encountering the Devil Clan.

Honestly, this newcomer's manual was quite detailed.

Just then—

"BEEP!!!"

A piercing sound echoed throughout "Crow Ghost City," and a tremendous surge of Yin Qi suddenly burst from the center of Crow Ghost City, enveloping the entire city!

A heavy and steady voice resounded in every resident's ear.

"Devil Clan army is attacking! All residents of Crow Ghost City, prepare for battle!"

Chen Qiu slightly started, then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, thinking it was good; he didn't even have to look for them.

He only hoped more Divinity Transformation Devil Clan would come.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be satisfying enough to kill.

...

Inside Crow Ghost City.

At that moment, a middle-aged man sat in a courtyard expressionless, his face showing no emotion even as the invasion notification of a large Devil Clan army echoed around him. He only turned his head after a long while to look at an elderly man beside him.

"What should we do?"

"I don't know," the elderly man shook his head crisply.

If someone's foot is struck by a nail, yet they don't cry out in pain, it's definitely because something more significant is happening. That was his situation now.

He had been the Sect Master of Yuan Sect during his life.

Of course.

He knew that probably not many on the Xuantian Continent could remember the name of his sect, much less his name, given that his sect was just an inconspicuous small sect in Quzhou, one of the lower nine provinces,

He only had the strength of Nascent Soul at its peak.

Not even having reached Divinity Transformation.

Naturally, he was insignificant.

But—

That exceptional Heavenly Pride, Chen Qiu, had his first appearance on the Xuantian Continent start with his battle originating from Yuan Sect; the last scene in his living memory was that Thunder Summoning Technique striking down from the sky.

Although he harbored resentment towards Chen Qiu, who had destroyed his sect, he felt no pleasure upon learning of Chen Qiu's death and arrival in the underworld.

In fact, he felt a chill down his spine.

Damn it!

Is it ever going to end? Was he really going to be hunted down to the underworld?

So many days had passed.

He had just happened to encounter a former elder of Yuan Sect and a True Disciple of Yuan Sect at the time in Crow Ghost City, so the three of them banded together for warmth. As for the other disciples of Yuan Sect, who knows where they had run off to.

The underworld is so vast; it would be normal not to encounter them in a lifetime.

"Sigh."

After a long while, the Yuan Sect Master finally heaved a deep sigh, a trace of luck flashing seriously, "It's okay, the underworld is so vast; Chen Qiu might not necessarily come to Crow Ghost City, perhaps he's tens of thousands of miles away from us."

"And even if we meet again, he will definitely not recognize me."

Just at that moment—

Outside the courtyard, a young man pushed the door open and quietly reported, "Sect Master, I've been to the top of the city wall. The Devil Clan's army is ferocious, seemingly intent on swallowing Crow Ghost City in one fell swoop."

"Just the Ghost Practitioners of Divinity Transformation from the Devil Clan, I've already seen three."

"It might be very difficult for Crow Ghost City to hold off, shall we retreat first?"

"If we delay, the City Lord of Crow Ghost City might forcefully make us join the fight, thereby directly sealing the city and preventing any retreat."

"..."

The Yuan Sect Master looked at the young man before him with a complex expression. This young man was called Qi Mei and was also a former True Disciple of the Yuan Sect.

After arriving in the underworld.

Perhaps it was boring fate, but they met again mysteriously, and although he no longer had a sect, Qi Mei still called him Sect Master.

His feelings toward Qi Mei were very complicated.

Qi Mei had once been his most favored True Disciple.

But if it weren't for Qi Mei inexplicably provoking Chen Qiu, how would their Yuan Sect have been destroyed? After meeting in the underworld, he had asked Qi Mei how he had made enemies with Chen Qiu.

He had only received a distress call from Qi Mei and sent a Nascent Soul elder to rescue him, then received another distress call from that Nascent Soul elder before going to rescue again.

Having returned to the sect without achieving anything, he was ambushed and killed by Chen Qiu at the mountain gate.

Although initially in "As Night Approaches", because many Yuan Sect disciples died at Chen Qiu's hands, they issued a wanted notice for him, thus creating enmity.

But...

Chen Qiu didn't care about it at the time, he was already planning to leave "Great Yuan City" to attend the Heavenly Pride gathering at the Su Family, then suddenly he came back and attacked.

Later, in the underworld, he learned from Qi Mei's mouth.

At the time, he did not know that Chen Qiu was the mysterious person who killed many Yuan Sect disciples during the "As Night Approaches" incident; he just felt that this person had decent strength and was a talented Loose Cultivator.

He wanted to recruit him into the Yuan Sect.

But the other party did not agree, he got somewhat angry and took action, and then... was then killed by the other's Golden Core.

When he heard that the "Yuan Sect" was destroyed because Qi Mei, unable to recruit and acted rashly, his heart nearly exploded with rage!

Traitor, traitor!

But after all, being unfamiliar in the underworld, and since Qi Mei had already broken through to the early stages of Nascent Soul and become a Ghost Practitioner working for him, which was also a demonstration of his strength, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and squeezed out a smile saying it didn't matter, it was all because Chen Qiu was too arrogant and overbearing.

Before the Yuan Sect Master could say anything.

Qi Mei suddenly knelt down, his eyes red and his voice hoarse as he nearly burst out, "Sect Master, that Chen Qiu broke my Cultivation, forever severing my path to immortality, and making it so when you and I met in the underworld—"

"Sect Master, you once promised me, if Chen Qiu ever comes to the underworld one day—"

"Sect Master, you must spare no expense to avenge me, to avenge the Yuan Sect!"

"I have been pondering endlessly, and finally, Chen Qiu has fallen into the underworld!"

"I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time."

With reddened eyes, Qi Mei knelt on his knees, looking up at the Sect Master sitting in the courtyard chair, his teeth clenched as he spoke word by word.

"Please, Sect Master, avenge me!"

"Avenge the fallen disciples of the Yuan Sect!"
