Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1521: A Foreign Land, the Profound Sect's Ruthlessness

The three of them pretended to admire the scenery and walked forward slowly.

About half an hour later, they arrived at a secluded valley.

A stream formed a crystal-clear pond here, surrounded by towering ancient trees.

“You’ve been following us for so long, isn’t it time to show yourself?”

Li Yunjing’s divine sense swept the surroundings, confirming that there was no one within seventy miles, then suddenly turned around and spoke to the seemingly empty path.

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing looked alert, coldly watching the path behind them.

“Hahaha, indeed worthy of being masters who can deceive the gatekeeping guards.”

Three cultivators dressed in “Profound Ice Hall” attire appeared from the void, “Hand over the real demon core, and we might consider leaving you with an intact corpse.”

“Just you three loose fish at the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

Li Yunjing sneered, but secretly felt relieved.

These “Profound Ice Hall” disciples didn’t know their identities; they just had the idea of murder and treasure snatching.

That makes it much easier to handle.

Improvisation is much easier to deal with than a planned trap.

“Seeking death!”

The leading “Profound Ice Hall” disciple grinned savagely and crushed a jade talisman, instantly sending a cold light shooting towards Li Yunjing!

“Kill the man! Capture these two women alive! Keep them for fun!”

The other two charged from left and right simultaneously.

“Ignorant fools.”

Before Li Yunjing finished speaking, the “Boundary-Breaking Sword” had already turned into a stream of light.

The three “Profound Ice Hall” disciples hadn’t even reacted before they were pierced through the heart with a sword.

Li Yunjing searched their bodies for spoils, raised a finger, and a flame turned the three into ashes.

“This map is rather good!”

Without even glancing at the other items, Li Yunjing found and carefully examined a map before handing it to Zhao Qi and Su Muqing to review.

“Great! With this map, things will be much more convenient.”

After looking at it, Zhao Qi immediately gained some initial understanding of Cang Country.

Su Muqing nodded repeatedly beside her.

The cultivation realm of Cang Country is dominated by the “Profound Ice Hall,” but there are also many other sects and clans.

These forces are scattered throughout Cang Country.

This map marks their locations.

With the map, they won’t wander recklessly and cause trouble.

“Let’s go!”

Li Yunjing released the long-unused “Cyan Cloud Ship,” camouflaged it, and invited Zhao Qi and Su Muqing aboard.

As for the “Celestial Patrol Ship”?

That thing is too conspicuous.

Camouflaging as Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators makes it difficult for others to discern identities, but disguising as Golden Core Realm cultivators would be problematic.

The number of Golden Core Realm cultivators is only a ten-thousandth of that of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

With such numbers, a single mistake and their identities would be exposed, so Li Yunjing naturally wouldn’t pose as a Cang Country figure at the Golden Core Realm.

Li Yunjing controlled the “Cyan Cloud Ship” to fly slowly, and the three of them overlooked the land of Cang Country from above.

The distant mountains stretched endlessly, while villages dotted the near ground like stars, all in a scene of harmony.

“This Cang Country may appear peaceful, but hidden currents are stirring beneath the surface.”

Zhao Qi pointed at the map and said, “Three hundred miles ahead is the ‘Cold Moon Market,’ a power built by ‘Profound Ice Hall’s’ outer forces. We can go there first to gather information.”

“My identity as the ‘Fire Spirit Fairy’ should be fine.”

Su Muqing checked her disguise: “Fellow Daoist Li, how’s your ice element technique disguise?”

“Although the ‘Profound Ice Grand Technique’ is only cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage, combined with my cultivation, it’s more than enough to fake as an Ice Element Loose Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.”

With a flick of his finger, Li Yunjing formed an ice flower: “Unless it’s a Nascent Soul Realm Master, no one can find out.”

As for Zhao Qi, she didn’t need a disguise. She was an East Sea cultivator and an Ice Spirit Root Cultivator, unknown and unrelated to the “Shenxiao Dao Sect,” so there was no safety issue.

Half a day later, the “Cyan Cloud Ship” landed outside the “Cold Moon Market.”

The three of them put away the flying ship and walked into the market.

The streets were lined with shops, bustling with cultivators, even more so than the markets under the “Shenxiao Dao Sect.”

“The three fellow Daoists seem unfamiliar, is this your first time at ‘Cold Moon Market’?”

A small, sharp-featured cultivator came over, eyes glinting with astuteness.

“Lead the way; we need to buy some ice element materials.”

Li Yunjing tossed a spirit stone over, not intending to engage with him.

The reason was simple, the person was rather unattractive.

The person’s intent was unknown to Li Yunjing, just someone patching up things, leading the way, introducing business, making some small money.

“Sure thing!”

The small cultivator caught the spirit stone, grinning broadly, “Speaking of ice element materials, ‘Cold Jade Pavilion’ has the best, though the price…”

“Just lead the way.”

Li Yunjing instructed indifferently.

After passing through a few streets, the three of them arrived in front of a pavilion made entirely of cold jade.

Two early-stage Foundation Establishment guards stood at the door. Seeing that Li Yunjing and the others had extraordinary cultivation, they quickly saluted.

“What do the three fellow Daoists need?”

Inside the pavilion, an elder who looked like a steward came forward: “Our store just received a batch of thousand-year cold essence…”

Li Yunjing’s divine sense swept over the counter, suddenly his gaze fixed.

He pointed to an inconspicuous gray ore and asked, “How much for this ‘Profound Yin Stone’?”

“The fellow Daoist has a keen eye!”

A hint of surprise flashed in the elder’s eyes: “This ‘Profound Yin Stone’ is quite a rarity! Few here know about it. Its price is three thousand spirit stones.”
