Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Slaying the Curved Horn Demon General, Obtaining the Treasure
“To retreat half a step in fright before this general, you’re nothing but a weakling,” the Curved Horn Demon General taunted as he looked at Temple Chief Tu, his face full of mockery.
“You’re courting death!”
Temple Chief Tu’s old face turned red with shame as he berated angrily.
He was not one to be frightened easily. Staring at the Curved Horn Demon General, whose body was pierced by several iron chains, he sneered, “All you have is a glib tongue. How much strength can you have left after being suppressed for a thousand years? If you don’t want to die, hand over the legacy quickly.”
“Scram!”
The Curved Horn Demon General glared furiously, “That damned immortal from those days intentionally sealed the legacy within me, tormenting me in such a manner; he deserves to die. Even if I were to self-destruct, I wouldn’t hand over the legacy to you, kekeke!”
He started to laugh maniacally, frantically pulling at the iron chains, causing the wounds on his body to crack and bleed again.
Hissss!
The demon blood was as scalding as magma. When it fell to the ground, dark smoke billowed and nearly melted the surface.
“Be careful, everyone. Do not let the demon blood touch you, or a large chunk of flesh will corrode away,”
Yunhua Zhenren warned solemnly, his face grave.
Had it not been for their numerical advantage, he truly wouldn’t have dared to face the Curved Horn Demon General.
“Let’s keep our distance. As long as the Glowing Armored Warrior formed by the Purification Bead can kill this Curved Horn Demon General, we will be able to obtain the legacy sealed within him,” said Master Luo Cheng, shaping signs with both hands as he continuously infused his power into the Purification Bead.
The others were not idle either, all infusing their power.
Hum!
The Glowing Armored Warrior swelled to a height of five meters, wielding a dazzling, radiant greatsword as it stepped closer to the Curved Horn Demon General.
“Scram! Shaqi Incarnation!”
The Curved Horn Demon General roared furiously as the dense evil qi around him surged rapidly, transforming into a giant beast that lunged at the crowd.
Clang!
The Glowing Armored Warrior swung its sword fiercely, a terrifying sword light sweeping across the sky, splitting the qi incarnation of the giant beast in two, and then it dissipated like smoke and mist.
“Damn it!”
The Curved Horn Demon General struggled furiously.
Had he not been suppressed by the Demon-sealing Tower, how could he possibly be defeated by a Glowing Armored Warrior created by the Purification Bead?
“It’s all you cursed humans’ fault that this happened to me!”
The Curved Horn Demon General bellowed in rage. Suddenly, he erupted with his last bit of strength. His body tore apart into pieces as he broke free from the iron chains and fell to the ground.
The torn pieces of his body began to wriggle and quickly reconstituted.
“Oh no, finish him off quickly!”
The crowd was horrified, urging the Glowing Armored Warrior to action.
No one had expected that the Curved Horn Demon General could break free from the restraint of the iron chains by destroying his flesh in a last ditch effort, causing their hearts to sink to the bottom.

“Kekeke, I’m finally free!”
The Curved Horn Demon General panted heavily, his face ferocious.
Though he gained his freedom, he had paid a price far greater than anyone could have imagined.
For the iron chains of the Demon-locking Tower did not only lock away his physical form but also imprisoned his soul. To escape, he had not only ruined his physical body but his soul too had been torn to shreds and would soon dissipate on its own.
“I’ll take you all with me to the grave!”
The Curved Horn Demon General knew his time was short. His body swelled and turned into a terrifying shadow that charged at the people.
If he had to die, he would make sure others went down with him!
Whoosh!
A terrible sword light slashed through the air.
The Curved Horn Demon General, caught mid-air, was unable to dodge and was cleaved in two by the rapidly approaching Glowing Armored Warrior, causing his already shattered divine soul to collapse into countless sparks on the spot.
“No…”
The Curved Horn Demon General let out a cry of unwilling rage.
Clang!
A meteoric iron fell from his head, hitting the ground and swiftly turning into a blaze of light. In mid-air, it woven into three ancient tomes.
“The legacy has appeared!”
“`
The group was overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around.
The three ancient books were very old, with covers full of intricate patterns, exuding a thick historical aura that made one feel as if they had been transported back to the primordial era.
“Fifth Grade Magic ‘Qi Tracing Technique’.”
“Auxiliary Cultivation Method ‘Lustrous Silk Sleeve Skill’?”
“A small Formation Map ‘Demon-slaying Sword Array’.”
Everyone looked at the covers of the three ancient books, noted the titles, then each picked up one and began flipping through the pages, reviewing the information inside.
Luo Cheng’s book was the Fifth Grade Magic ‘Qi Tracing Technique’.
After reading the introduction on the title page, he said, “This spell is a powerful tracking spell that can trace a target within a thousand-mile range with just a whiff of their qi. If a qi imprint can be placed on the target, even if they hide in a formation thousands of miles away, they will be found.”
Upon hearing this, the group was not very enthusiastic.
Tracking spells were generally used when pursuing enemies.
The cultivators present did not have enemies whom they needed to chase and kill, so obtaining this spell was not very meaningful to them.
Gong Qingqiu had acquired the Auxiliary Cultivation Method ‘Lustrous Silk Sleeve Skill’.
After reading the introduction on the title page, she laughed, “This Auxiliary Cultivation Method can make one’s mana soft and enduring, enhancing combat endurance, making it more suitable for women to cultivate. Moreover, once mastered, there’s no need to use spells to turn one’s mana into lustrous silk sleeves; it can attack and trap enemies all on its own.”
Hearing this, the women present were delighted.
But the men exchanged glances, finding themselves speechless.
This Auxiliary Cultivation Method sounded good, but as men, it would be awkward for them to practice it.
In combat, where other cultivators wielded swords to kill their foes, they would have to use lustrous silk sleeves, which seemed rather effeminate!
They couldn’t bear to imagine such an embarrassing scene.
Thus, everyone turned their attention to the ‘Demon-slaying Sword Array’ Map Yunhua Zhenren had obtained.
“What an incredible Sword Array!”
Yunhua Zhenren was the first to finish the introduction, “This is a cooperative Sword Array that uses cultivators as focal points. It requires at least two people to operate simultaneously, allowing the fusion of mana to unleash countless sword shadows. The more people involved, the stronger the Sword Array’s power.”
“That’s fantastic!” The crowd was thrilled.
Both ‘Qi Tracing Technique’ and ‘Lustrous Silk Sleeve Skill’ were quite negligible.
Compared to them, the value of this small Formation Map was the greatest; it was universally applicable for both men and women and was also a cooperative Sword Array with boundless power.
“Wait, that’s not right. Since it’s only a small-sized formation, it can accommodate no more than seven people at a time, which imposes a power limit.” At that moment, Temple Chief Tu noticed the last line of text in the introduction and was slightly disappointed.
“It’s already quite impressive!”
Luo Cheng continued as he looked at the Sword Array map, “Although only seven people can drive the Sword Array at the same time, the power increase from seven cultivators working together can still be significant.”
The crowd pondered for a moment and then their eyes lit up.
“Yes! Even if it’s just seven Qi Refinement Ninth Layer disciples working together, according to the introduction, they could rival an average Element Gathering Realm cultivator.”
“Once we return, this Sect Leader will directly select seven Inner Sect Disciples to learn this Sword Array Map, essentially adding another Element Gathering Realm power to our Yunhua Sect,” declared Yunhua Zhenren, in high spirits.
“Folks, let’s record the treasures first before heading out,” suggested Master Luo Cheng.
“Agreed.”
The group nodded in unison.
They took out blank books and, infusing their own mana into pen and paper, copied down the ‘Qi Tracing Technique,’ ‘Lustrous Silk Sleeve Skill,’ and ‘Demon-slaying Sword Array’ Maps, ensuring nothing was missed.
In less than two quarters of an hour, they had completed the task.
From then on, Yunhua Sect, Misty Sect, Biyue Villa, and several other reclusive forces all obtained the treasures.
After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone left the Nine-Layered Demon-Sealing Tower.
Down below the tower.
It was nearing noon.
Shi Lei and the other Misty Sect Disciples saw Gong Qingqiu and all gathered around her.
“Elder, how were the spoils?”
“We have obtained the treasures,” beamed Gong Qingqiu with a smile.
This trip into the Tower had been not too risky, yet they came away with Fifth Grade Magic, an Auxiliary Cultivation Method, and a small Formation Map—a significant haul.
“I believe the Sect Leader will be very pleased,” Gong Qingqiu murmured.
