Chapter 463 - 245. Xu Mou is untalented and is an exiled disciple of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace _3
「The next day.」
Xu Xing returned to Cuoshan Market, placing the heads of the Demon Cultivators one by one on the counter of the Chongzhen Temple Service Office.
"Senior Xu, this..."
"Are these... are these truly the heads of the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators?"
The Chongzhen Temple Deacon in charge of receiving Xu Xing witnessed this scene, swallowed, his eyes filled with incredulity.
A few days ago, he had nervously reported to the Sect Master that Xu Xing intended to eradicate the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators. However, the Sect Master had dismissed it as a mere jest from Xu Xing, as the strength of the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators was plain for all to see.
Chongzhen Temple had attempted to besiege the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators on several occasions. Each time, however, they either failed to locate the Demon Cultivators’ hiding place or were forced to retreat in defeat, suffering losses among their disciples. Several such attempts had resulted in Chongzhen Temple suffering heavy casualties, with as many as four True Monarchs falling Inside the door.
Xu Xing, as a Dao Lord, could indeed overpower these Demon Cultivators, but overpowering them and killing them were two entirely different matters. The Demon Cultivators were cunning, and killing them was exceedingly difficult.
"You don’t believe me?"
Xu Xing, seeing this, revealed a carefree smile. He stood with his hands behind his back and slowly said, "I may not be talented, but I am Xu Xing, an Exiled Disciple of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace."
"Exiled Disciple Xu Xing?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present were visibly stunned, their eyes wide with astonishment and disbelief.
In other parts of East Huangzhou, most people might not have known of Xu Xing, the Exiled Disciple of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace. However, in the North Wilderness, Xu Xing’s reputation was resounding. This was not even mentioning his rescue of Saintess Wumu of the Starfall Sect—a legendary tale that had culminated after she waited seventy years for him. The sheer strength Xu Xing displayed when he single-handedly hunted the Golden Jiao of the Crane Emblem Country was enough to send tremors throughout the entire North Wilderness Cultivation World.
Top-tier Dao Pill Daoists were a rare sight anywhere, let alone an Exiled Disciple from the Higher Teachings who possessed such a legendary aura.
"A Nascent Soul Daoist Lord..."
"It’s too fast, far too fast... Is he truly Xu Xing? The Xu Xing from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace?"
"He and the Starfall Sect Saintess are of the same generation, the younger generation! So how... how did he suddenly undergo Nascent Formation and become a Dao Lord?"
"He’s not even three hundred years old!"
In the Service Office, the cultivators present dared not make a sound or show any disrespect towards a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord. However, the exchanged glances between them spoke volumes.
That a Dao Lord from the Higher Teachings could kill the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators... this was no longer an unbelievable feat. The cultivators no longer harbored any doubts about Xu Xing having killed the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators.
"Please, True Monarch Xu... no, Dao Lord Xu, if you would please wait a moment. Our Sect’s Ancestor will arrive shortly to welcome you, Lord Xu..."
After a brief interval, a young Crane Crowned Daoist appeared in the Service Office. He offered Xu Xing a respectful salute before speaking. As he spoke, the Crane Crowned Daoist was also observing Xu Xing’s countenance. Upon sensing Xu Xing’s imposing and dignified presence, he was inwardly astounded. After all, the man before him was roughly his own age; they both belonged to the younger generation.
To think he could effortlessly slaughter the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators just after entering the Nascent Soul Realm... That’s a level of strength even my own Grandmaster cannot compare to...
Jealousy is useless.
The young Daoist’s clenched fists, hidden within his sleeves, slowly loosened as he sighed.
Being one step ahead isn’t terrifying.
One can only strive to catch up, and perhaps one day, even surpass.
However, to be so many steps ahead, to reach a point so far beyond their reach that they can only gaze at the dust you leave behind, is enough to drive any pursuer to despair.
"Daoist Xu, by exterminating the Xuan Spirit Cave Demon Cultivators, you have performed a great service that glorifies the might of our Righteous Path and my Chongzhen Temple..."
"On behalf of the Chongzhen Temple, and indeed, all who walk the Righteous Path in this world, I, Buxu Zi, thank you, Daoist Xu."
In less than the time it took for One Incense Stick to burn, Chongzhen Temple Ancestral Master Buxu Zi arrived. The moment he saw Xu Xing, his face wreathed in smiles as he began to praise him.
