Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1906 - 1422: To Be Revised

However, Jiang Fengwu remained oblivious to the fact that someone else shared her exact intentions, aiming to sit back and collect the rewards like the clever angler who waits patiently for the perfect moment.

Sun Song was that individual, the one who had first employed Earth Escape to slip away straight from the demon cultivators.

Having originated from the Demonic Tao, he knew full well the nature of his comrades. Inevitable clashes and fights would erupt between them, so leveraging his skill in Earth Escape, he departed ahead of time to steer clear of getting pulled into the fray.

Though Sun Song appeared to have left with firm resolve, he actually lingered close to the exit, ready to strike at whichever demon cultivator emerged victorious.

Yet prior to his chance to strike, Jiang Fengwu sealed off the tunnel's opening and triggered the formation, locking those two demon cultivators within.

Observing this turn of events, Sun Song obviously refrained from showing himself and stayed concealed instead.

’On my own, I fear I can’t stand against this woman cultivator!’

Still, with the riches in her possession flashing through his mind, Sun Song refused to allow such an enormous bounty to vanish right in front of him.

After deep consideration, he discreetly scattered Ten Thousand Miles Fragrance across the ground—a scentless, invisible substance lasting up to six months—creating a surrounding ring. Thus, regardless of the path Jiang Fengwu chose to take, he’d detect her movement.

Once this setup was complete, he rushed off to gather a handful of senior and junior brothers from past joint ventures, scheming to jointly pursue and definitely seize this woman cultivator!

Regarding the later division of the spiritual items, they could settle that in due time.

Jiang Fengwu, buzzing with excitement, had no inkling of the plot closing in on her, merely viewing this Demonic Tao territory as unfit for extended lingering. Therefore, after compelling herself to steady her nerves, she soared eastward.

This venture had not just fulfilled her original aim of grasping the West Continent’s heavenly symbols but also delivered a wealth of unforeseen rewards. What a tremendous windfall!

It bolstered her assurance and control even more for the impending retreat aimed at breaking into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Jiang Fengwu believed her journey back to the East Continent would proceed without incident, yet midway through, she ran into a band of five—all Earth Immortal demon cultivators hot on her trail!

At first, she had no desire to clash with them, given this was the heartland of demon cultivators. Her disguise held up well, but a brutal confrontation could harm the internal formation in her body, revealing her actual identity.

So, the instant Jiang Fengwu detected their chase, she boosted her flying pace to evade capture.

Surprisingly, however, the five demon cultivators clung to her like glue, doggedly trailing behind.

Whatever hiding techniques she tried, they always managed to track her down and close the gap swiftly.

Draped in a dark robe, Jiang Fengwu dashed wildly over the terrain.

A short distance back, a few tenacious black silhouettes pursued her. Their velocity matched hers exactly, slowed only by her periodic deployment of formations to block and disrupt them, keeping her just out of reach.

"Halt right there! Just surrender all the spiritual items, and we’ll spare you—no more chasing!"

As Jiang Fengwu picked up speed, one flustered and disheveled demon cultivator couldn’t resist yelling out.

For about ten days they had pursued without success, reducing themselves to a pitiful sight. Unsurprisingly, resentment filled their minds. Part of them yearned to quit, yet the allure of those spiritual items and Great Demon Changyou’s insights on cultivation proved too tempting to abandon.

But at those words, she surged ahead even quicker—did they truly expect to fool her like some naive kid?

Even so, amid her desperate dash, Jiang Fengwu grabbed several storage bags, stuffing the cultivation insights inside at random before flinging them toward the pursuing demon cultivators.

She didn’t expect this to halt them entirely, knowing demon cultivators’ infamous greed, but rather to delay them slightly and widen her lead.

Were it not for the superior Immortal Pills crafted by Li Zhirui—unlike her pursuers who could alternate piloting the Spirit Boat—she couldn’t have endured this far.

Spotting the incoming storage bags, the demon cultivators brightened with joy, assuming the leading woman was finally faltering and submitting to them.

Sun Song alone sensed trouble and resisted, since in rallying his senior brothers, he’d concealed the full story. He downplayed the spiritual items’ volume by a portion or two, scheming to possibly claim them solo.

Should it work out, it’d be fantastic; failure wouldn’t spell disaster anyway.

Moreover, a quick look at the tossed storage bags revealed the amounts didn’t add up.

"Hmph!"

As Sun Song wavered in thought, the rest of the demon cultivators had already unsealed the bags and emptied their contents.

Upon viewing the array of spiritual objects, the huge pile of Classics, and the scores of Jade Slips, their gazes gleamed, grins spreading across their faces.

"Hold on, these Classics are all mixed up carelessly; sorting through them will cost us time."

"That woman cultivator’s trying to buy time with this trick so she can flee farther."

Jiang Fengwu’s ploy was utterly obvious, pierced instantly.

"Do we keep after her?"

Yet truly, a few demon cultivators wavered, since they now possessed ample Classics and Jade Slips; pressing on might drive their quarry to recklessness, risking her lashing out and claiming some of their lives.

Prioritizing their well-being, a couple indeed balked at continuing the hunt.
