Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 One Sword

"Half-demon?"

Li Qian, with his exceptional hearing and spiritual perception cloaking the area, naturally caught the startled exclamation from Chu Ping, the thousand-household official of Xuanjian Bureau.

At this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

The hideous humanoid creature suddenly turned and fled, its speed astonishingly fast.

"Huh?"

Li Qian’s face showed surprise.

What’s happening?

Judging by the ferocity it showed earlier, it seemed as if it was about to wreak havoc everywhere.

Why did it suddenly run away?

Li Qian hastily drew his sword and used his qinggong to give chase.

He couldn’t let this half-demon escape.

Otherwise, how would he complete his task?

As the humanoid creature fled, everyone at the scene let out a sigh of relief.

"Master Yan, quickly stop Li Qian from chasing it; that’s a half-demon..."

Chu Ping, the thousand-household official, said anxiously.

He knew from the Xuanjian Bureau headquarters’ archives just how strong a half-demon was.

To eliminate such a creature, it would probably require the Divine Sword Sect to dispatch a true grandmaster-level expert.

"Senior Brother Li and that monster are too fast; he has already caught up..."

Yan Song said helplessly as both the person and the monster were already out of sight.

"This is troublesome; how could a half-demon appear here?"

Chu Ping from the Xuanjian Bureau said with a grave expression.

"Chu Ping, what exactly is this half-demon?"

Yan Song asked, puzzled. He recalled the monster’s ugly and fierce appearance, its aura terrifying beyond measure.

He, being in the Innate Ninth Layer, didn’t even have the courage to look it directly in the eye.

Thankfully, during the time spent chasing, they hadn’t encountered it; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

"I’m not entirely sure myself, I’ve only learned a bit from the Xuanjian Bureau headquarters before. It’s said that at least a grandmaster-level expert is needed to deal with one..."

Chu Ping said.

"Grandmaster-level expert?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Song inhaled sharply.

Because within the Divine Sword Sect, a grandmaster-level expert is considered an elder-level master.

Generally speaking, those who’ve grasped Illusion Level Martial Intent and whose cultivation has reached the True Essence Realm, can be called a grandmaster.

And those whose cultivation has reached the True Pill Realm are considered great grandmasters.

If it really takes a grandmaster-level expert to deal with that half-demon... doesn’t that mean Li Qian is in danger?

Even if Li Qian has high talent, he’s at best the strength of an ordinary innate expert, which is undoubtedly still a considerable distance from a grandmaster-level...

No wonder Chu Ping urged him to stop Li Qian from pursuing...

But now it’s too late.

The person and monster had disappeared long ago.

"Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Li won’t be in trouble, right?"

Junior Sister Fan couldn’t help but express her concern.

"Immediately dispatch someone to send a message to our sect with a carrier eagle."

Yan Song took a deep breath and immediately gave the order.

At this time, they could only ask the sect for help again.

Unfortunately, help from afar can’t quench the fire at hand.

By the time the sect receives the message and sends an elder-level master, it would take at least three to four days.

...

"Such incredible speed."

Li Qian watched the humanoid creature sprinting ahead at high speed, shocked in his heart.

However, he was in no hurry to intercept.

He didn’t believe that the creature could maintain this half-demon state indefinitely.

Therefore, he just followed along, ensuring that the creature didn’t leave his line of sight.

They were now in a desolate range, having left Sanhe Town far behind.

Because it was night, there was no moonlight; however, under Li Qian’s spiritual perception, it was as clear as day.
