Chapter 26: Formidable Senior Brother
“Crimson spiritual power!”
“Senior Bai is a dark cultivator. How is this possible?”
“…”
Below, a series of changes left many Qi Refining cultivators struggling to cope. These wandering cultivators had no time to speak up.
They only saw that after the cultivator surnamed Bai went to greet Li Su, Li Su sternly claimed that the Bai cultivator had wiped out seven cultivation families, killed dozens of cultivators and thousands of mortals, and then immediately launched an attack without hesitation.
Upon hearing Li Su’s words, these wandering cultivators instinctively felt that it was unlikely.
Cultivator Bai had been with them for the past few months, and he had been particularly amiable, without the air of a senior in the foundational stage. Cultivator Bai had even saved some casual cultivators.
So, there were some casual cultivators who wanted to speak up for cultivator Bai, but when cultivator Bai tried to defend himself, his bewildered expression deceived many casual cultivators.
Even when Li Su made a move, some casual cultivators wanted to speak up for cultivator Bai. But the turning point came too quickly. They didn’t have a chance to speak.
Li Su immediately unleashed a powerful attack, intending to kill cultivator Bai. Seeing Li Su’s resolute killing intent, cultivator Bai had no choice but to reveal all his cards in order to save his own life.
And that’s when he was exposed.
This guy was skilled at hiding, and in the underground battle, he hadn’t aroused suspicion from other casual cultivators.
But as a dark cultivator, his most powerful techniques were those of dark cultivation. To save his life, he had to use his strongest abilities, and that revealed his true nature.
The sudden turn of events caught many casual cultivators off guard. They had initially been prepared to speak up for cultivator Bai, but the sudden change left them dumbfounded.
In the sky, when cultivator Bai revealed his strength, a black banner appeared in his hand.
The golden Flying Immortal Sword came flying towards him, but without hesitation, cultivator Bai poured his spiritual power into the black banner.
“Go!”
He swiftly waved the black banner, and as he did, black-green flames resembling ghostly fires emerged, swirling madly around him.

In an instant, these black-green flames formed a unique ghost fire formation. Upon closer inspection, these black-green flames even took the shape of skulls.
The golden Flying Immortal Sword descended, but the ghost fire formed by the black-green flames, under cultivator Bai’s constant waving of the black banner, managed to block the attack.
“Good guy!”
Li Su squinted his eyes.
This cultivator Bai was truly remarkable. Despite only being at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, he managed to withstand the attack of the Flying Immortal Talisman using the ghost fire formation formed by the black banner.
This black banner must be an excellent dark cultivation treasure. Cultivator Bai must have obtained some kind of dark cultivation inheritance.
When Li Su first met cultivator Bai, Zhang Yuer introduced him. Cultivator Bai had been unremarkable before but suddenly made rapid progress, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage 40 years ago.
Well, it was 20 years ago at that time, but it has been more than 20 years since Li Su’s first participation in the wandering cultivator gathering.
In the first 20 years, his progress was not fast. When Li Su first met him, he was only at the second level of the Foundation Establishment. This was probably because he had been more restrained at that time.
Later on, he kept attacking immortal cultivators, causing his cultivation to grow rapidly. In just 20 years, he went from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the current eighth level.
The last casual cultivator gathering was just a few months ago, and at that time, he was only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment!
In these few months, he relentlessly attacked cultivation families, further advancing his cultivation.
He couldn’t have created the demonic cultivation techniques himself, and when combined with the black banner, it was clear that cultivator Bai had obtained some kind of dark cultivation inheritance.
“Damn it!”
Cultivator Bai felt extremely frustrated.
Besides frustration, there was nothing else. He had planned everything so well, completely avoiding suspicion, and no one could have connected him to the incidents. Even if someone had doubts, he had nothing to worry about.
But unexpectedly, he encountered Li Su, who didn’t play by the rules. Li Su completely disregarded reason and immediately wanted to kill him without saying a word.
Even if the sect leaders of the three major immortal sects intervened, it would be impossible for them to act so unreasonably.
The world of cultivation was indeed survival of the fittest, but it still had some basic order. But Li Su was being unreasonable, and he also had his suspicions. He still didn’t know how Li Su had identified him.
No matter how careful he had been, he hadn’t left any traces, had a perfect alibi, and hadn’t left any clues. Li Su had no way of determining his true identity.
Looking at the current situation, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Once his true essence was depleted, he would be helpless.
At the current rate of consumption… he could only last a few minutes at most.
“I can only use that item now.”
Cultivator Bai waved the black banner with one hand and forcefully threw a black bead with the other.
“Boom!”
The black bead exploded near Li Su, and black flames surged violently.
“In the midst of the flames, there is also a flash of lightning.”
“Senior Li!”
The faces of many casual cultivators changed as the power of the bead was too terrifying.
“You truly have another trick up your sleeve. Whatever means you have, use them.” At that moment, Li Su’s calm voice echoed from another direction.
He had just attacked Li Su and Su Yun, but they appeared in different locations.
Even at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, it was impossible to move so quickly right under his nose!
“How is that possible!”
Cultivator Bai’s eyes narrowed.
“I am within the formation I’ve set up. Can you guess my exact position?” Li Su’s voice remained calm.
He had anticipated that cultivator Bai was not ordinary and had set up the array not only to trap but also to confuse direction and create illusions. That was why cultivator Bai’s sneak attack had failed. Cultivator Bai’s expression grew grim.
He was already reaching his limit, and he didn’t have many things that threatened Li Su.
No matter that he was a dark cultivator, his current strength was too low, and the black banner in his hand couldn’t exert significant power.
“Damn it, if only I had another year!”
Cultivator Bai was on the verge of spitting blood. And then, he did spit out blood.
It didn’t even take a few minutes, just over a minute, and his black banner couldn’t hold back the Flying Immortal Talisman anymore.
The golden Flying Immortal Sword pierced through his body one after another.
“Puff!”
Cultivator Bai coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In the next second, Li Su appeared before him, striking his palm and dispersing the true essence in his body. A golden rope appeared in Li Su’s hand, directly capturing the barely conscious cultivator Bai.
“Using the flesh and blood of an immortal cultivator for alchemy, is this what a demon cultivator does?”
After a while, Li Su’s voice resounded.
In his hand, there were several blood-colored pills.
This blood color… it was indeed real blood.
These were pills made from the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators. The faces of the surrounding cultivators changed one by one.
“No wonder none of the casual cultivators who left with him these years were seen.”
Some casual cultivators seemed to have noticed this, but they hadn’t suspected him because cultivator Bai had disguised himself so well before. It wasn’t until now that they suddenly realized it.
“I didn’t expect Bai…he was a demon cultivator. Thanks to Senior Li, I’m truly frightened.”
“Yes, Senior Li has remarkable insight. Even with his excellent disguise, Senior Li discovered him.”
“It’s incredible how well the person surnamed Bai hid himself.”
“…”
Many casual cultivators were in awe of Li Su.
Cultivator Bai had hidden himself so well, yet Li Su precisely pinpointed him. This made many casual cultivators admire him.
“It seems that Senior Brother is quite formidable.”
On the side, Su Yun couldn’t help but think as she listened to the casual cultivators talk about cultivator Bai’s past.
Previously, she didn’t have a deep impression of Li Su, having only heard about him without paying much attention.
It wasn’t until recently when Li Su’s name started to frequently appear in the mouths of the Flying Immortal Sect disciples, that she learned about this peculiar cultivator from the Flying Immortal Sect.
Building a foundation at a hundred years old, taking concubines and indulging in worldly desires, his cultivation had skyrocketed in the past twenty years.
He had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. At this rate, Li Su might even achieve the Golden Core stage in his lifetime.
Li Su had effortlessly captured cultivator Bai without any clues, even without a trace of information about the Lieyang Gate.
In Su Yun’s eyes, Li Su’s image had once again changed.
