No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? Chapter 103

Among the crowd of spectators, there was some joy in Wei Lin's eyes.

At first, he did not know whether Sikong Jiantian had discovered him or not, but he suddenly thought of an idea.

The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison emitted a colorless and odorless poisonous gas that was produced using all the grievances of the people in the world.

Once inhaled, its effects would not kick in immediately, but it would gradually deepen the resentment and anger in one's heart. Within less than five minutes, the cultivators would become murderous and ruthless. The poison would only dissipate after they died of exhaustion.

Wei Lin was not sure if Sikong Jiantian had discovered him or not so he decided to use that trick. Once the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was released, Sikong Jiantian would definitely detect it immediately since he had a high cultivation level.

If Sikong Jiantian looked at him as soon as he detected the poison, it would mean that Sikong Jiantian had discovered his identity. However, if Sikong Jiantian did not look at him, it would mean that Sikong Jiantian hadn't discovered his identity.

Wei Lin would also withdraw the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison. He was pleased with the current outcome.

Although his whereabouts had been exposed, he was not in a passive state. Otherwise, once the Sword Dao Meet ended and the crowd dispersed, Sikong Jiantian would kill him.

Now that he had released the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison, Sikong Jiantian would be the one in a passive state.

Above the ring, Sikong Jiantian frowned and his face was extremely sullen.

He knew that he had fallen for Wei Lin's trick and revealed some flaws, which caused him to slip into a passive state. That would be terrible because if anything went wrong, he would have to take full responsibility and it would be extremely troublesome.

Everyone could see that Sikong Jiantian's expression turned even more grim.

They were suddenly even more certain about Su Changyu's identity.

However, at this moment, Sikong Jiantian's voice sounded again.

“Chen Zheng, evacuate the crowd and follow me to ambush.”

His voice spread throughout the entire Qingzhou Ancient City.

He no longer hesitated as he felt that it would be better to kill with all his might instead of being in such a passive state. Although Sikong Jiantian knew that he would definitely hurt the innocent by doing so, he also knew that if he did not take the initiative, the loss would be even greater.

In an instant, Chen Zheng the Qingzhou City Lord immediately got ready to cooperate with Sikong Jiantian without any delay.

Hence, when he heard the voice, Chen Zheng immediately yelled.

“Send my orders to activate the city protection array formations and get ready to subdue the demons!”

As Chen Zheng's voice sounded, Wei Lin who was standing among the audience suddenly looked austere.

He didn't expect Sikong Jiantian to actually dare to make a move.

'Isn't he afraid that he would suffer heavy losses?'

Wei Lin gritted his teeth and revealed the talisman paper on the emerald gourd without any hesitation.

Huff!

In an instant, the emerald gourd grew hundreds of times larger, and a large mass of thick black smoke emanated from it.

The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was originally colorless and odorless. However, the one that emanated from the emerald gourd was extremely rich, so much that it turned black.

“Hurry up and evacuate, hold your breaths. He's a disciple of the Fiendcelestial Cult and this is the Five-Grudge Ancient poisonous gas. Hurry up and flee to the safe area. Seal your spirit acupuncture points, else you will lose your lives.”

Sikong Jiantian spoke again.

At this moment, the surrounding cultivators immediately fled as quickly as they could.

Everything happened too suddenly. Things were just fine before but it suddenly turned out like this.

However, the Five-Grudge Ancient poisonous gas had already spread throughout the entire venue of the Sword Dao Meet like black clouds. It was extremely terrifying.

“Hurry up and leave.”

Above the ring, Sikong Jiantian immediately sent Su Changyu to the viewing deck. Although Su Changyu was pretending to be impressive, he did not hinder Sikong Jiantian's attempts to rescue.

The reason being, from now on, he was responsible for every human life.

“Quick, run.”

“Help, I don't want to die here yet.”

“Five-Grudge Ancient Poison? Why did this thing appear again?”

“Fiendcelestial Cult? Haven't they already been exterminated? Why have they surfaced in the world again?”

“It's over, it's over. I'm dead, I'm dead!”

“Don't step on me. Help, don't step on me.”

“Pfft!”

“Run out of the city.”

The crowd scattered and fled, but due to the fact that there were too many people, a stampede immediately ensued. Some cultivators tried to escape on their flying swords, but it was too crowded for them to see anything. They collided with other people who were using the Sword Flight Kinesis and fainted on the ground.

The elders also sacrificed their magic weapons immediately to resist the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison.

Wei Lin, who was in the middle of the crowd, bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the emerald gourd. He then hollered, “Disciples of the clan, follow me to the battle.”

His voice echoed in the entire ancient city and beyond.

The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison that came out of the emerald gourd became even more dense and was like flames that made the people feel as if they were being burned in hell.

The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison was a collection of the five human emotions, namely anger, hatred, resentment, frustration, and annoyance that were refined using a terrifying method where living beings were imprisoned and put through a living hell. One would then develop extreme anger, hatred, resentment, frustration, and annoyance.

Wails came from the emerald gourd, and in an instant, various images appeared in the black smoke where hundreds of thousands of souls were tormented.

They were skinned and had their tendons plucked, or lowered into boiling hot oil. They would also have their limbs dismembered or fed to countless snakes.

It was just like Hell on earth and the thought of it scared countless cultivators who fainted right on the spot.

Those were the brutal and cruel means of heretic cultivators.

“Kill!”

Sikong Jiantian roared and as he raised his hand, sword energy traversed through the space, turning into beams of golden sword energy.

Bang!

A large mass of black smoke emanated from the emerald gourd again, completely resisting Sikong Jiantian's attack.

At this moment, hundreds of figures charged into Qingzhou Ancient City too.

The men in black were brutal and ruthless. Some cultivators even fled on their flying swords. In just a moment, they were gone.

At the venue of the Sword Dao Meet, Ye Ping looked at everything in front of him with great astonishment.

He did not expect a wonderful Sword Dao Meet to turn into such a state that he could not comprehend.

Everything happened too quickly and suddenly, which made it a little hard to accept.

On the other hand, Su Changyu was stunned too.

'Is this because I pretended to be impressive?'

'Is that why there are such consequences now?'

'Don't do that, what's the point?'

'At most, I won't pretend again.'

“Master, Uncle-Master, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and flee. Any later and we won't have the chance to anymore.”

The first to come back to his senses was Li Yu.

He held onto Su Changyu's and Ye Ping's hands, thinking to himself that the most important thing to do now was to flee, regardless of whether Su Changyu was an expert or not.

As a qualified prince, Li Yu had always been taught that living was the ultimate pursuit ever since he was a child. Since ancient times, many princes of the East Palace had died, and thus Li Yu developed a preference for stability.

When things were undecided, running away would be his first option.

“Prince! The news from the Black Clouds Pavilion is that a large number of disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult have appeared around Qingzhou, and even the 72 Earthly Fiends are here too. We should hurry up and escape.”

While Li Yu was fleeing with Ye Ping and Su Changyu, his followers hurriedly rushed over, looking nervous and anxious.

“What? The 72 Earthly Fiends are here too? It's over for us!”

Li Yu's face instantly turned pale. As the Crown Prince of Jin Nation, he naturally knew the significance of the 72 Earthly Fiends.

“However, rest assured, Crown Prince, His Majesty has deployed 3,000 iron-blood knights from Jin Nation, and I managed to summon 300 in the name of the East Palace. They are here to escort you. Besides, the Fiendcelestial Cult are out to kill geniuses this time and they don't plan to attack you. If you hurry up, you can escape.”

He hurriedly told Li Yu that the Fiendcelestial Cult only killed geniuses and not the wealthy and powerful people.

Hearing his words, Li Yu, Ye Ping, and Su Changyu heaved sighs of relief unanimously.

'Out to kill geniuses? That has nothing to do with me then.'

Su Changyu, in particular, was overjoyed.

However, to their astonishment, Li Yu was the Crown Prince of Jin Nation. However, it didn't matter if he was the prince or not because nothing else but their lives mattered now.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave.”

Li Yu hurriedly said.

“Yes, Your Highness. Lords, these are some calming pills that can resist the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison. You must consume it quickly. The consequences of getting poisoned are unimaginable.”

The follower hurriedly led the three out of the Sword Dao Meet without further delay.

The Five-Grudge Ancient Poison had already spread out from the Sword Dao Meet venue. If nothing went wrong, the entire ancient city would be enveloped by the Five-Grudge Ancient Poison in an hour's time.

When that happened, there would be a massive disaster.

There were tens of millions of citizens in Qingzhou Ancient City, and a few hundred thousand cultivators were gathered there. If anything went wrong, there would be a huge uproar in the Ten Nations.

The three of them did not delay any further and directly swallowed the calming pills before leaving with the followers to meet up with the knights.

Unfortunately for them, before they could go far, a few black figures appeared.

“Your Highness, flee quickly, I'm here to take care of the rest of the matters.”

The guard in front told Li Yu and the other two to flee quickly.

“Crown Prince?”

“Crown Prince of Jin Nation?”

“Catch the Crown Prince alive.”

The few black figures froze. They could tell that the few of them were not geniuses, but after hearing that he was the crown prince, they couldn't help but perk up.

If they killed the crown prince, they would be given huge credit.

“What is your name? I will reward you well when I go back.”

Li Yu's expression changed. Hopping mad, he was on the verge of vomiting blood.

However, Li Yu didn't delay further and simply scurried into the alley with Su Changyu and Ye Ping.

At this moment, Su Changyu, who followed Li Yu in his fervent escape, hurriedly spoke up.

“Ye Ping, no matter what danger you encounter later, run immediately and flee as far as you can from Qingzhou Ancient City.”

“No matter who chases you or who comes to you, just run, don't be stupid, and don't get into trouble. If we end up being separated, make sure you are safe first, and then go back to Qingyun Dao Sect. Don't make any mistakes. Understand?”

Su Changyu was completely flustered. Fortunately, the more flustered he was, the more calm he seemed on the surface. In this circumstance, he managed to get his priorities right, and he continuously instructed Ye Ping to run as soon as he encountered any danger.

He was afraid that Ye Ping might meet with a mishap and get hurt!

'Damn it, why must the heretic cultivators show up now?'

“Okay. But Eldest Senior Brother, what if we can beat them?”

Ye Ping had born Su Changyu's instructions in mind, but he couldn't help but pop that question.

“Then all the more we should run. Ye Ping, remember, most drowning people are able to swim. Being able to beat them does not mean that you can beat the others. You may attack only if there's really no way out, got it?”

“Also, no matter what danger you encounter later, just run if you can. Don't think of even fighting or saving anyone. Your cultivation level is too low and you'll be courting death if you try to save anyone. Got it?”

Su Changyu admonished Ye Ping. Anyway, living would be the ultimate pursuit.

“What about you, Senior Brother?”

Ye Ping couldn't help but ask.

“Me? Don't worry about me. Those nobodies of the Fiendcelestial Cult are like ants to me.”

“However, I'm just worried that you guys will distract me if I let you tag along so I decided to flee with you.”

“Junior Brother, remember, if we get separated, go straight back to the sect, don't stay behind. Prioritize staying alive, got it?”

Even at this juncture, Su Changyu couldn't help but pretend to be impressive.

“I know, see you back at the sect, Senior Brother.”

“Uncle-Master, I understand too, see you next time.”

Just as Su Changyu finished speaking, Ye Ping and Li Yu ran away from the two side passages.

Su Changyu couldn't help but be stunned.

'Why do you have to make a turn when we're running fine?'

'Also, what do you guys understand?'

'Next time? Why should we meet next time? Why don't we flee together?'

However, at the next moment, when Su Changyu looked straight ahead, he froze in shock.

The reason being… there were more than ten men in black in front of him.

There was silence.

'Uh?'

'Uh?'

'Uh?'

At this moment, Su Changyu's mind turned blank.
