My Divine Diarychapter 409

Among the humans of this world, the proportion of cultivators is not high, but given the vast population, there are still a considerable number of them.

However, in the vast territory of Lingshan Province, so many cultivators disappear in the blink of an eye, like drops of ink in a river.

Regarding the news about the Yunzhong Valley, it will take some time for it to circulate completely in Lingshan Province.

Therefore, it’s not easy to obtain complete information about the Yunzhong Valley.

Su Hao has two choices: one is to find a larger cultivator market and inquire about the news directly there, and the other is to ask someone who looks formidable directly.

The first option is too troublesome, so it’s simpler to just confront someone directly, where he can ask anything he wants. By comparing several sources, he can obtain accurate information, right?

While flying at high speed, Su Hao injects spiritual energy into the core rune, activating the “perception” rune, which suddenly extends its perception to fifty thousand meters away.

Then Su Hao discovers a target at forty thousand meters away.

Su Hao grips the universal knife, injects spiritual energy into it, and activates the armor-piercing function.

“Blink!”

Su Hao’s figure instantly shifts to forty thousand meters away. A cold-faced female cultivator flies towards him, but before she can brake, she directly collides with Su Hao’s knife tip.

“Poof!”

The shield on the female cultivator shatters instantly, and Su Hao can even see the astonishment in her eyes.

Seeing that the universal knife is about to cut open her slender neck, Su Hao turns the blade outward, placing the back of the knife against her shoulder. Then he extends a foot to stop her abdomen, forcing her to halt.

The beautiful face of the female cultivator gradually contorts, her mouth opens but she can’t utter a word. Her mind is now a mess, as if she has lost her ability to think.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she usually travels alone, keeping a low profile during flight, and constantly using her spiritual sense to detect any situation, ensuring she can respond promptly to any circumstances. What she didn’t expect was that while flying, she encountered some problem in an unknown step, and ended up crashing onto a knife tip.

Could it be that she hasn’t been sleeping well lately?

Before she can think further, the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her speaks: “Since we meet here by chance, it’s fate. Let me ask you something. If you answer well, I’ll reward you with a spiritual stone. If you refuse to answer…”

As he speaks, the blade against her neck turns, moving forward.

Then she immediately understands the current situation and nods obediently, saying, “Senior, please ask.”

At this moment, she finally saw the appearance of the young man in front of her. He was tall and handsome, but his short hair spoiled his aesthetics. Otherwise, he would certainly be a handsome young man full of immortal aura, she thought.

“Huh? How is he still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator?” she wondered.

But she dared not move recklessly; the knife on her neck could cut off her head at any moment. One wrong move and it would be over. She didn’t want to test whether her technique was faster or the knife on her neck.

Just as the female cultivator was pondering escape strategies, Su Hao asked, “Do you know about the recent siege of the Yunzhong Valley stronghold?”

Hearing this, the female cultivator looked at Su Hao in astonishment and then said, “I do know about that. The news has been spreading everywhere recently, and it’s easy to find out.”

Su Hao asked, “Please, tell me.”

Feeling the heavy pressure on her shoulder, the female cultivator suppressed the impulse to attack Su Hao’s face with a magic weapon and slowly said, “It is said that a month ago, the Yunzhong Valley stole the treasure ‘Red Spring Refining Elixir’ from the Triple Phoenix Pavilion. There seemed to be quite a few of them. When the Triple Phoenix Pavilion demanded it back unsuccessfully, they joined forces with five other major sects to eradicate all the strongholds of the Yunzhong Valley and finally recovered the ‘Red Spring Refining Elixir’.”

Su Hao asked, “Red Spring Refining Elixir? What is that?”

The female cultivator shook her head and said, “I don’t know. It’s said to be a holy item for Nascent Soul cultivators.”

Su Hao asked, “What’s the current situation in the Yunzhong Valley?”

The female cultivator said, “I don’t know. However, considering the size of the Yunzhong Valley, it’s unlikely to be completely destroyed so easily, just scattered!”

Here, the female cultivator continued, “But I do know some news about the Triple Phoenix Pavilion. It is said that after the Triple Phoenix Pavilion obtained the Red Spring Refining Elixir, there was a dispute over the distribution of the spoils, leading to conflicts with the five major sects they had allied with. Later, the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks intervened, making the situation even more chaotic. Now, no one knows who has the Red Spring Refining Elixir. They accuse each other but deny having it themselves. However, everyone speculates that it has been taken by someone from the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks.”

“Why does the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks seem to be involved everywhere?” Su Hao felt that this pattern was somewhat familiar. Wasn’t it similar to the situation with the Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain? Fighting over some materials, causing a big fight!

Su Hao thought to himself, “These materials must have something special about them, otherwise they wouldn’t provoke all the major sects into tearing each other apart! But I always feel like someone is deliberately causing trouble.”

After asking several more questions, Su Hao withdrew his knife and, from his pocket, took out a spiritual stone and tossed it to the female cultivator, saying, “Well done, this is your reward.”

With that, he disappeared instantly.

The female cultivator dumbfoundedly caught the spiritual stone thrown by Su Hao, but before she could react, she found herself alone in the surroundings!

She looked around, besides the distant trees and rocks, there was only the cold wind blowing.

Everything that just happened felt like a dream, and only the cold spiritual stone in her hand felt real.

“Could it be… I encountered something scary?” The female cultivator thought to herself, feeling a chill rising from the soles of her feet straight to her head.

Although she had been cultivating for many years and no longer believed in these things, she still couldn’t stop the fear rising in her heart.

She looked at the milky-white spiritual stone in her palm and thought, “This spiritual stone… I need it!”

She tucked the spiritual stone into her bosom, feeling somewhat reassured. Indeed, nothing made her feel more secure than a spiritual stone. If anything did, it was simply because she didn’t have enough of them.

As the female cultivator regained her senses, she transformed into a streak of light and left the area. Muttering to herself, “Just now, I thought I was done for… just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet so terrifying. I should go out less in the future!”

She realized that some things couldn’t be ensured by cultivation level or powerful techniques. The reality of what happened was often more absurd than she imagined. The best way to stay alive was to hide.

Su Hao, driving his large-range radar, searched casually, and encountered three cultivators. Unlike the previous female cultivator, these three were not as gentle. As soon as they saw Su Hao, they instinctively dodged and used various fancy maneuvers before throwing their most powerful treasures and spells at Su Hao.

Su Hao didn’t dodge or evade; he let all the treasures and spells pass through him and slowly approached the cultivators, holding his knife against their necks. Only then did they calm down and obediently answer Su Hao’s questions.

The information Su Hao obtained was mostly similar to what the female cultivator had said.

“It seems that the version circulating outside should be like this. It can be confirmed that the calamity befell the sect because of the ‘Red Spring Refining Elixir’. Considering the leakage of the previous interception of the sect’s change of defense, someone must have been secretly plotting, leading to the current situation of the Yunzhong Valley… However, the ultimate goal should not be the Yunzhong Valley.”

Su Hao leaped onto the versatile knife and flew off in a random direction. “Let’s inquire from another person, maybe there will be some new information.”

After flying for a while, several bloodthirsty reactions entered Su Hao’s perception range.

“Got it… huh?” Su Hao noticed that among the icons marked by the radar, there were two green-colored avatars, indicating acquaintances who were neutral and friendly.

Su Hao checked the information and couldn’t help but be surprised, “Feng Yuer, why is she here?”

Inputting spiritual power into the core rune, his perception became clearer, and the silhouettes of four figures ten thousand meters away entered Su Hao’s mind.

Two people in front were fleeing rapidly, with two others closely chasing behind. Along the way, spells and sword qi were flying, and they were about to catch up.

The two fleeing individuals, one male and one female, seemed to be in trouble. The male seemed to be called Yun Qingping, who had been defeated by Su Hao with just a finger before, and the female was none other than Feng Yuer.

“It seems like these two are in a bit of trouble!”

Since they were fellow sect members and happened to encounter them, Su Hao didn’t mind lending a helping hand.

The next moment, Su Hao disappeared from where he stood.
