Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

The two patrol teams merged into one, and the three of them, along with a dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators, returned to the border city wall.

Patrol team leader Song Ze had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work, all three of you."

"Captain, is there any other mission?" Xiao Ming noticed Lin Tianrui and Qin Zhen behind Song Ze.

In the past, they would each go their own way, leading a group of Qi Refining disciples on missions. Their gathering together now was not a good sign.

"Indeed, there is a very important task that I'm afraid requires us to work together to complete," Song Ze said slowly, glancing at the three of them.

"According to our intelligence, a barbarian tribe has migrated to a location 200 miles south of here. They are probably trying to create a new beast tide. We must destroy this barbarian tribe before that happens."

"Captain, are you kidding me? A few Foundation Establishment cultivators going to destroy a barbarian tribe? Isn't that suicide?" Che Hong said angrily.

You must know that every barbarian tribe has at least one seventh-tier demonic beast as a sacrificial spirit for protection. How could they possibly defeat a seventh-tier demonic beast comparable to a Core Formation cultivator?

"The General would certainly not send us to our deaths. This barbarian tribe is still in the process of relocation and has not yet established a firm foothold. Their sacred spirit is not located here."

"Even without the spirit offering, the risks are still considerable. No wonder we had to come together," Yang Zhiyuan said, sounding somewhat worried.

Song Ze glanced at everyone and, sensing their low spirits, quickly said, "The rewards for this mission are generous. As long as we can severely damage this barbarian tribe, everyone will be rewarded with a Dharma Lotus Pill."

Upon hearing the name Fahua Dan, everyone's eyes lit up.

The Lotus Elixir is no ordinary pill for improving cultivation. This pill can directly help Foundation Establishment cultivators break through bottlenecks and advance one level of cultivation, saving them years of arduous cultivation.

If there is any drawback to this medicine, it is that each Foundation Establishment cultivator can only take it once, and the effect of the second dose will be reduced to a negligible level.

"In that case, we might as well give it a try." Che Hong couldn't help but rub his hands together, eager to try it out.

Such a precious medicine as the Lotus Elixir is so rare that one might not receive such a mission even after ten years. Which Foundation Establishment cultivator would be willing to let it slip by?

Yang Zhiyuan glanced at Che Hong casually, then turned her gaze to Song Ze. "Senior Brother Song, when are we leaving?"

"Time is of the essence in military affairs, let's set off now."

······

Two days later.

Two hundred miles from the border wall, on a cliff, a simple village was built by people using wood and animal hides.

A falcon descended from the clouds, circled the tribe once, then soared down and landed in the woods below.

Song Ze opened his eyes and reached out to catch the falcon.

"That's it, this is the spot." Song Ze turned around and looked at his five teammates beside him.

The six people in front of them were naturally members of the third patrol team. Their infiltration over the past two days had gone smoothly, and they had found the location of the barbarian tribe without much effort.

"How many people are on the other side, and what is their strength?" Che Hong asked.

"With tents providing cover, it's hard to count the number of people, but it shouldn't be many, and I didn't see any sacrificial spirits."

It should be noted that the sacrificial spirits are all large-sized Core Formation demon beasts, making them easy to spot.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Che Hong urged.

"Alright, get ready to go!"

As soon as Song Ze finished speaking, the group immediately flew out from the forest below the cliff and unleashed all their concentrated magic at the barbarian tribe.

The barbarians themselves are weak and rely on demonic beasts for battle. If they are caught off guard, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Under the relentless bombardment of six Foundation Establishment cultivators, the barbarian tribe was reduced to ruins in no time.

"Stop right now!" Song Ze suddenly shouted.

As the barbarian tribe was destroyed, he discovered that there were only a handful of people left in the entire tribe, not many demonic beasts, and not a single person in the tent.

"Something's wrong, let's retreat!"

"You two-legged sheep, you think you can just come and go as you please? It's not that easy!"

A large golden bird descended from the clouds, and a tall, thin man wearing bird feathers sat on its back.

This is a Golden Feathered Bird. Once it reaches adulthood, its strength can reach the sixth rank. It flies extremely fast, and its golden feathers are as hard as metal, making it an extremely troublesome monster.

As he appeared, several more barbarians appeared riding golden-feathered birds, circling around the group.

"Song Ze, what's going on?" Che Hong roared angrily.

Cold sweat broke out on Song Ze's forehead. They shouldn't have given away any trace along the way. Could it be that the intelligence was wrong, and this was a trap all along?

However, being the team leader, he quickly offered words of comfort.

"Don't panic, everyone. The enemy's spirit hasn't appeared, so it's clear they're not here."

This was indeed good news amidst bad news for everyone. If a Golden Core demon beast appeared, they would simply have to wait to die.

"Why would we need the Spirit Master to take action to destroy you all?"

The tall, thin man wearing bird feathers laughed, then took out a bone flute and began to play a tune.

As the music began, a large number of golden-feathered birds flew out from the surrounding forest.

Although these golden-feathered birds were merely Qi-refining demonic beasts, their numbers were enormous. Reflected in the sunlight, they resembled a dazzling golden cloud, or a gigantic ferocious beast pouncing towards the crowd.

"Oh no, it's a beast tide!" Song Ze's expression changed.

Now he was absolutely certain that the operation had been leaked; otherwise, the barbarians would never have had time to summon the beast tide.

"Under the beast tide, staying together is more dangerous; let's split up and run!"

After Song Ze finished speaking, he patted the beast-taming bag and summoned the giant black eagle.

This is a fifth-tier demonic beast, the Netherwing Eagle. It is quite fast and has a level advantage, so it is not afraid of the flock of golden-feathered birds.

It flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind that carried numerous wind blades. With the help of the storm, it soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

"Chase!" At the bird-feathered man's command, two barbarians immediately rode high-level golden-feathered birds and gave chase.

Seeing this, the others also displayed their unique abilities. Lin Tianrui and Qin Zhen, being sword cultivators, simultaneously used the Sword Light Shadow Splitting Technique, unleashing hundreds of sword lights that instantly killed countless golden-feathered birds and tore open a gap in front of them.

Seizing the opportunity, the two flew away on their swords.

Che Hong pounded his chest with his fist and spat out a large amount of black, foul-smelling corpse gas. This corpse gas contained a deadly poison, and any low-level golden-feathered birds that came into contact with it would be knocked unconscious. Moreover, this corpse gas could also obscure everyone's vision.

Using the corpse energy as cover, Xiao Ming no longer held back and fled rapidly towards the ground.

Behind him, a large flock of golden-feathered birds swooped down at him like sharp swords.

Li Yuetian reached into his sleeve and pulled out a thick stack of Qi-refining talismans.

Xiao Ming had already sold all the low-level talismans he had previously acquired, and now he only kept the more powerful high-level talismans, each of which could injure or even kill a third-level demon beast.

As the stack of talismans was thrown out, flames, golden light, and lightning erupted in an instant, resulting in a series of explosions.

Blood and flesh splattered, and monsters howled in agony.

The explosion tore a hole through the horde of monsters, and Xiao Ming seized the opportunity to summon his Jade Spirit Boat and break out of the encirclement at high speed.
