Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 190: Escaping Alive



Translator: Cinder Translations

When the Spirit-Binding Rope was less than ten meters away from Song Wen, instead of being afraid, he smiled.

The distance was sufficient!

His figure suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Under Immortal Qingyan's astonished gaze, the Spirit-Binding Rope passed through the blood mist and wrapped around a large tree ahead.

"Blood Escape Technique!"

"The Corpse Demon Sect's Blood Escape Technique, where did he learn this?"

Immortal Qingyan was full of disbelief.

A mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator had mastered the Thunder Escape Technique, the Blood Escape Technique, and the Substitute Corpse Technique.

Moreover, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator activate the Blood Escape Technique, which was a life-saving secret technique for Golden Core cultivators?

Her face was full of greed and excitement. This person had too many secrets. Capturing him would yield great benefits.

She took out the heavy water of Kui Yin, preparing to use a secret method to locate Song Wen.

But the next moment, her expression turned ugly.

The spiritual aura on the heavy water of Kui Yin had dissipated, turning it into an ownerless item.

Song Wen had actively severed his connection with the heavy water of Kui Yin.

Eighty miles away, at the bottom of the Tianhe River.

Song Wen's sea of consciousness throbbed with intense pain. Severing his connection with the heavy water of Kui Yin was not pleasant.

He felt fortunate that he had always paid close attention to the terrain around the market, memorizing the landscape within a thousand miles, allowing him to accurately judge his approximate location at all times.

Just now, he used the Blood Escape Technique to directly reach the banks of the Tianhe River, then plunged into its flowing waters.

He only had enough vital blood for one use of the Blood Escape Technique, so he had to seize this opportunity to completely escape from Immortal Qingyan.

Feeling the severe depletion of his vital blood, Song Wen took out a jade bottle filled with vital blood and poured bottle after bottle into his mouth. After consuming ten bottles, his vital blood was replenished.

Flashes of the large "Su" character on the airship and Immortal Qingyan's beautiful face appeared in his mind, making him clench his teeth.

One day, I will make you pay.

He concealed all his aura, letting the river currents carry him downstream.

...

Su Xingyuan flew to Immortal Qingyan's side and asked cautiously, "Immortal, that villain..."

Immortal Qingyan had already scouted the area within a few dozen miles but still found no trace of Song Wen. Her mood was foul, and she responded irritably, "He escaped."

The secret techniques on Song Wen greatly tempted her. She had been so close to capturing a great opportunity, only to lose it. She was very unwilling and showed no kindness to Su Xingyuan.

Seeing Immortal Qingyan's displeasure, Su Xingyuan did not dare to ask further, creating a tense silence.

After a moment, Immortal Qingyan coldly asked, "How many people know about your patriarch's comprehension of the Devouring Soul Array?"

Su Xingyuan replied, "Immortal, only the patriarch and a few core members of our Su family know. No one else is aware."

"Informing you about this was by the patriarch's prior instructions."

"The patriarch said that you and he are close friends who trust each other, and the activation

of the Devouring Soul Array depends on you. He instructed us to inform you when we met

you."

Immortal Qingyan nodded and replied, "This matter must not be disclosed, or your Su family could face disaster."

"As for the person who escaped, let it be. Many rogue cultivators practice the Longevity Technique. Choose some strong ones as sacrifices; the results should be similar."

Su Xingyuan bowed, "Understood."

But he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: It's easy for you to say.

While there are many rogue cultivators practicing the Longevity Technique, most of them are

in the early to middle stages of Qi Refinement. Few reach the late stages, and those who do usually get there through long periods of cultivation. These cultivators are generally older and no longer suitable as live sacrifices.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through such trouble to capture Song Wen, who is suspected to be a robust rogue cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refinement.

...

Song Wen spent an entire day at the bottom of the river, drifting two to three hundred miles downstream. Only then did he find a concealed cave at the river bottom, where he spent several days treating his internal injuries and recovering his spiritual energy before emerging

from the water.

After drying off, Song Wen disguised himself as a middle-aged cultivator in his forties and rode a boat towards the ghost market in the mountain valley.

That night, around the second watch.

Song Wen entered a small shop within the ghost market.

Behind the counter sat an old man who seemed half-asleep.

The old man perked up upon seeing Song Wen and greeted him loudly.

"Customer, what kind of information are you looking for?"

This shop specialized in selling information within the ghost market.

"Do you have any information on the Su family of Qingping Mountain? The more detailed, the

better."

The old man's wrinkled face broke into a smile; he knew a big customer had arrived.

"Information on the Su family is naturally available, but the price..."

Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Song Wen realized he was trying to extort a higher

price and cut straight to the point.

"How many spirit stones, just tell me directly."

"Ten thousand spirit stones, including detailed information on all late-stage Qi Refinement

and Foundation Establishment members of the Su family."

"Agreed, but can you provide a portion of the information for me to verify first?"

The old man's eyes lit up at Song Wen's lack of bargaining. "Of course."

With that, he produced a jade slip and handed it to Song Wen.

Song Wen took the jade slip and examined it with his spiritual sense.

The jade slip contained detailed information on dozens of the Su family's late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, including their names, cultivation levels, and family members.

Satisfied with the information, Song Wen produced a storage pouch and handed it over.

The old man checked the contents to ensure there were no issues with the spirit stones, then handed Song Wen another jade slip.

This jade slip contained even more detailed information, including key members of the Su family and the distribution of their properties.

After obtaining the information, Song Wen turned and left.

According to the jade slip, the Su family had an early Golden Core patriarch named Su Qian,

but he was very old, nearing the end of his life span, and hadn't appeared in public for many

years.

The Su family had a total of forty-eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, including two

at the peak of Foundation Establishment: the family head Su Anqing and the great elder Su

Wenshi.

There were seven late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, more than ten mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and twenty-three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

A nearly deceased early Golden Core patriarch and forty-something Foundation Establishment cultivators-this Qingping Mountain Su family didn't seem too formidable.

As long as he wasn't trapped by formations or some special magic treasures, Song Wen was confident that he could escape even if surrounded by the Su family.

With a flicker of killing intent in his eyes, Song Wen left the ghost market and headed

northwest on his boat.

A thousand miles to the northwest, amidst a vast mountain range.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A small market spanning several miles lay within.

This was the Northern Market, under the jurisdiction of the Su family. Fifty miles east of the

market lay the Su family's residence at Qingping Mountain.

Disguised as an elderly cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refinement, Song Wen had been in

this area for several days.

During this time, he stayed at a random inn for cultivators at night and scouted the market

and surrounding areas during the day, becoming thoroughly familiar with the terrain.

That day, after having breakfast at the inn, he was strolling through the market when he encountered an unexpected person.
