Villain Cultivator

Chapter 360: Ling Tianlong's Mistake

= Five Minutes Ago =

"Those demon worshipers and beasts are really hiding powerful treasures and secrets!"

Several kilometers south of Siren City, the real bodies of Mount Hua Sect's elders and disciples had been hiding in a forest, sitting cross-legged and focusing their minds to operate the clone bodies from a distance.

Most of them had already lost their paper doll clones, and they began exchanging their information and the impression of Siren City.

None of them showed a sign of regret or frustration after their clones had been killed. After all, they used them to obtain intelligence and sabotage Siren City. The only things they lost were their backup weapons and dummy spatial rings of the clones.

Now that they had learned about the City, Ling Tianlong and other elders could choose what they would do next. As for the helpers like them, they could enjoy their break.

"Hey, I saw it for a moment. The beastwomen in the city are hot and sexy!"

"Yeah, those tiger women have bigger titties than the bitches at the sect."

"Indeed. Those monster women are a lot more attractive than humans. If only we can capture them, we could turn them into our sect's public toilets or pets!"

The men lewdly laughed while the elders sighed and shook their heads.

Although the elders didn't care about women, the pylon tower and the dense essence in the air interested them.

"It would be nice if we can relocate our sect to that city. The environment is ideal for cultivating."

"True. Also, I sensed a strange aura from the water fountain in the city. It smelt like… the famous hollow spring water of the Myriad Cauldron Sect!"

"Our intelligence brokers said the city has been selling healing elixir at a cheap price. It should probably be that."

"Ah. That city has a lot of secrets. Our sect should take it before the Yuan Clan's forces arrive. It would have been a waste had they monopolized all the goodies."

The elders laughed and chatted among themselves, letting down their guards as they were waiting for either Ling Cao or Ling Tianlong to finish their fight.

None of them had noticed the approaching beasts from the north.

…

Mao Xueyan was in her white cat form, dashing toward the group of cultivators to the south. Behind her, Dandan followed after her sister, using her white tiger appearance.

Xueyan spread her Qi sense to inspect the group of cultivators.

"Two nascent souls, five core pillars, the rest are foundation establishment. Be on guard, Dandan."

Dandan grinned, "That won't be a problem. I'll leave those two nascent soul guys to you. I'll take care of the rest."

Mao Xueyan glanced at her tiger sister. In the past, Dandan was a scardy cat who didn't like fighting or confronting her enemies. But now, her eyes were brimmed with self-confidence.

That was not all. Her lustrous silky fur glittered under the sunlight.

Dandan's tiger form looked beautiful for tiger-kin's standard, and Xueyan couldn't help but get envious.

"You've changed, Dandan."

"Hehe, you would have changed too had you agreed to mate with Miaomiao during the mating season."

Dandan referred to the mating season, which Xueyan chose to skip as she didn't want to have babies at the moment.

Xueyan glanced at Dandan's stomach and avoided the subject, "Try not to over-exert yourself in this fight. We don't know if you're pregnant."

"Nah, Miaomiao is a pro at this. We did it a lot, but we cleaned up and made sure that my eggs weren't fertilized. It's a dud this year."

"You've… really changed. You're corrupted."

"Nah. It's called GROWING UP and what we did is called SAFE SEX! I'm a responsible woman after all. Sister, you need to learn new vocabularies and broaden your horizon!"

"…"

Mao Xueyan was speechless, regretting that she had entrusted her sister to Miaomiao.

'That bastard! I'll fucking beat the shit out of him! Don't let me see you again, Miaomiao!'

Frustrated and angered by Miaomiao's deeds, Mao Xueyan transformed into a white tiger like her sister. Then, she accelerated.

In an instant, she landed at the center of Mount Hua Sect's men, who had been lazing around.

Mao Xueyan's domain power was unleashed. Within the range of a kilometer, her opponent's speed would be decreased by 50% while her speed would increase by 100%. Also, she could claw her opponents without touching them, similar to Jia Shan's sword domain.

ROAR

As soon as Mao Xueyan roared, she displayed her third ability, which she had obtained from the Divine White Tiger Pill.

Divine White Tiger Authority, aka the Will of Divine White Tiger, had been integrated with Mao Xueyan's bloodline and her soul. Every time she unleashed her killing intent, her new dao avatar, the Divine White Tiger, would resonate with her will and display the presence of a Divine Creature.

The warcry of Mao Xueyan and the will of the divine beast shook everybody's souls. Everyone started bleeding from their ears, eyes, and nostrils, and they could no longer stand on two feet. Weak-will men fainted while stronger elders were petrified in fear.

In a flash, Mao Xueyan leaped toward one of the two nascent soul cultivators and opened her mouth.

CRACK

With only one bite, Mao Xueyan's tiger mouth crushed the cultivator's skull and tore the entire head off his neck!

The other nascent soul cultivator came back to his sense, but he still couldn't muster his leg strength. While crawling on all four, he waved his sword and sent a storm of pink flower petal blades at the tiger.

Mao Xueyan ignored the petal blades and charged at the elder head-on as if she was a savage beast.

The petal storm did nothing to stop Mao Xueyan. Some of them got into her mouth and nose, but they were disintegrated into particles and were converted into her Qi.

Seeing how his skill was ineffective against his opponent, the elder pushed his hands against the ground and injected his earth element Qi into the soil.

Earth walls suddenly extended from the ground and blocked Mao Xueyan's charge.

However, the tiger waved her front paws five times in a row.

SWUA

SWUA

Behind the earth wall, 15 deep wounds appeared on the nascent soul elder's chest and back as five of Mao Xueyan's domain claws got him.

The elder widened his eyes in panic and shock. By reflex, his right hand swung his sword and sent his domain attack on the tiger as well.

Within 500 meters around the elder, pink petals emerged and began circulating into a storm. All leaves and petals were as sharp as surgeon knives, cutting through everything, including the injured disciples and fellow elders in the area. He also waved his sword to use domain slashes as well.

Mao Xueyan was still within the tornado of blades, but she ignored it.

CLANK

CLANK

The petal blades and domain slashes hit Mao Xueyan's fur, but they failed to leave a scratch on her skin. Yet, they turned the elder's colleagues into mincemeat within a second.

Mao Xueyan sneered at the desperate elder, "I thought you were a lot stronger than the others since you are a nascent soul cultivator. It seems I overestimated you humans."

The tiger waved her front paw again, and the elder behind the earth wall felt something cold passing through his neck.

Just like that, he was beheaded by the domain claw.

As soon as the elder died, the petal tornado was dispersed. The corpses and the blood of the victims rained upon the field, showering the survivors in red.

Dandan managed to arrive at the battle site by the time that the tornado had stopped. She looked around in confusion at first before she began biting an injured man's neck and pulled the sticky flesh of his throat.

In leisure, Dandan acted like a normal animal, killing every helpless human that she could find.

Many Mount Hua Sect's disciples and weak elders tried to get back on their feet or circulate their Qi. Unfortunately, the roar of Mao Xueyan had already crippled them to the point that they couldn't move an inch.

These men kept staring at the two predators as they waited for their death, one by one.

The experience was horrifying as they could do nothing but watching their friends being bitten and torn by the two tigers. They peed their pants and tried to beg for their lives, but no word could come out of their mouth.

Some of them even thought that they would be eaten alive soon!

…

RUMBLE

A few seconds later after they had crippled everyone, a loud noise distracted Mao Xueyan and Dandan.

Someone had been fighting and causing a loud noise toward the north.

Mao Xueyan stopped killing the remaining survivor and gazed in the direction, looking at the two cultivators, who had just finished their duel.

The tiger muttered to herself, "Lu Fengxian?"

Dandan also looked at the distorted sky at the north. She was also curious, "Was it Miaomiao's master?"

"Yeah, that's probably him."

"Wow. He's freaking strong! I think he's even stronger than Miaomiao!"

Mao Xueyan snorted and turned his attention to her living preys nearby. She bit another man's throat and complained, "Meh, Miaomiao will eventually get stronger than that man. Arrogant cultivators will eventually face a bottleneck somewhere because they always have heart demons, and they won't be able to get stronger for centuries! You know, Miaomiao might be dumb, silly, perverted, and clumsy, but he's always humble and kind! Have you seen Miaomiao going around and pointing his fingers arrogantly like he was some kind of an emperor like that man did? Of course not! He's a better man! Every time he needed help, he begged others instead of ordering them even though he has the authority over this entire city! Also, Miaomiao doesn't hog the pylon tower to himself, but he…"

The praise and comparison went on and on.

Mao Xueyan hadn't realized it yet. At the moment, she couldn't stop talking. Moreover, her pupils expanded and brightened like a child who had been talking about something that she was interested in.

Listening to her sister, Dandan had been grinning from ear to ear. She snickered and continued trampling on the injured cultivators on the ground.

'Dear sister, next year mating season, I'll tie you up and throw you to Miaomiao's room. You should have been honest about your feeling. Or rather… Should I ask Sister Ju Shoufen to make aphrodisiac drugs for female beast folks? Humans can have sex whenever they want. Maybe they can do something about our mating season circle.'

...

10 Kilometers East of Siren City

Although Ling Tianlong had asked his colleagues to hide in the forest, south of Siren City, he hid his real body inside a cave as he didn't trust anybody, including his allies. Even Ling Cao didn't know that Ling Tianlong's real body was here.

The real body of Ling Tianlong snapped open his eyes and panted. He glanced at his chest and touched the place where Lu Fengxian had stabbed him.

The slightest touch sent a sharp pain to his body as if his nervous system had been damaged.

WHOOSH

The immortal-grade sword, which Ling Tianlong's clone had used, flew back to his side.

Ling Tianlong glanced at his partner and sighed, feeling relieved that the sword hadn't been stolen.

PRICK

As soon as Ling Tianlong attempted to stand, all his nerves sent immeasurable pain signals to his brain as if his body had been struck by lightning.

"Ugh!"

Unable to withstand the pain, Ling Tianlong collapsed on the ground.

Suspected that he had suffered an internal injury, Ling Tianlong circulated his essence, attempting to regenerate or repaired the damaged organs.

However, all his internal organs were fine. Yet, the torturing pain remained.

"This injuries… can it be!?"

While lying on the ground on his stomach, Ling Tianlong closed his eyes and meditated.

It was not a normal meditation as Ling Tianlong's mind keep diving into his inner conscience. He kept going deeper, deep enough to find the embryo of his soul!

This embryo would become his nascent soul in the future. However, at the moment, what should have been a taintless crystal ball was cracked.

Upon finding the source of his injury, Ling Tianlong opened his eyes and bit his lower lips in anger.

'Soul injury! Ding Bu, you traitorous bastard. That sword must have been forged with soul stones! Only immortals from the immortal realms can possess that type of sword! How did he get that sword? Was he a vessel of a dao god or an immortal!?'

As Ling Tianlong was enraged and frustrated, he closed his eyes and reviewed what he had seen inside the city after the concealment array was destroyed.

He tried to analyze the city, the local people, and the secrets of Siren City, investigating who might be this city's backer.

Ling Tianlong was born with a picture memory when he was an immortal in his previous life. Even now, his abilities got carried over to this body.

It wasn't hard for him to concentrate and think of what he had seen, even if it was briefly and unintentionally seen with the corner of his eyes.

In one of these memorable pictures in his mind, several demonic women gathered at the center of the city, the big mansion near the tallest tower.

And one of them had two short horns, which belonged to the Oni Tribe!

'Wait… I definitely saw a female Oni in that city. So, since Ding Bu has a soul sword, he must be an underling of Kishin Douji's men! Female Onis are always married to Kishin Douji. That must be it! They are Kishin Douji's men!'

Ling Tianlong's hatred toward Kishin Douji was ignited. Because of his grudge and anger, he connected Wei Yuan's existence with Kishin Douji, blaming them for his loss.

After concluding his theory in his mind, Ling Tianlong's thoughts were cleared, and he could finally remember what he had forgotten.

Only then, he sensed something amiss. Several name tokens in his spatial ring suddenly shattered.

Ling Tianlong remembered that he had asked his friends and elders to gather south of Siren City. In his plan, he should have distracted the local cultivators while everyone, whose clones had been defeated, would have retreated when he sent a signal.

However, Ling Tianlong was defeated, and he forgot to send the retreating signal to his men!

Furthermore, he remembered that two dangerous beastwomen had been rushing toward the group!

"SHIT!!"

Ling Tianlong kicked the ground and rushed to the place, where he had asked his people to hide and standby for order.

…

Several minutes later, Ling Tianlong reached the rendezvous site.

Torn corpses with bite marks, militated dead bodies, pink petals, dark blood, and wet pieces of clothes with a familiar Plum Flower embroider were everywhere.

All their spatial rings and weapons were gone.

With a dark face, Ling Tianlong blankly stared at the remains of his colleagues, who had died because of his miscalculation.

"Because of Ding Bu. Because of Kishin Douji… Siren City!!"

Ling Tianlong bit his lower lips. His upper teeth dug into his flesh while his trembling hands clenched so hard that his fingernails stabbed into his palms.

He shed no tear. Ling Tianlong only knew anger.

BOOM

Something inside his dantian was unsealed. His Essence was boiled and became as red as his blood.
