That Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator was indeed a ruthless individual.
After a scream, he immediately swallowed a Medicinal Pill, sat down to stop the bleeding, and no longer made any sound.
Yang Che's expression was calm as he coldly shifted his gaze back to the Senior Xun Kuo.
"What is a 'Dark Flower'?"
Yang Che asked.
Xun Kuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior, if this 'Dark Flower' matter wasn't something this old man learned from growing up in Jiang Huo City, with my Qi Refining fifth layer cultivation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about it at all.
The organization that specifically takes on 'Dark Flowers' is said to be almost entirely composed of Loose Cultivators. However, there are also some Disciples from large Sects and large Families who, in order to earn huge Spirit Stones, take risks and join."
Yang Che frowned deeply.
Xun Kuo continued, "Unless it's a deep-seated grudge of life and death, and the enemy's whereabouts are elusive or their status is noble, a 'Dark Flower' usually isn't issued. Senior, you've had 'Dark Flowers' issued against you by two large Cultivation Families, which shows that both of these Cultivation Families hate you to the bone, but they don't dare to openly seek revenge against you."
As Xun Kuo spoke, his heart was even more inexplicably shocked.
Could this cold and ruthless young man in front of him also be a Core Disciple of some Sect or a Disciple of a Cultivation Family?
But he had never heard of a Yang Cultivation Family.
Xun Kuo speculated about Yang Che's identity, increasingly leaning towards him being a Core Disciple of a major Cultivation Sect.
Upon hearing this, Yang Che immediately thought of the first affiliated Cultivation Family of Wulong Valley, the Liu Family.
One of these two large Cultivation Families must undoubtedly be the Liu Family.
However, Yang Che was at a loss as to who the other Cultivation Family was.
"Xun Kuo, how did you know that I was the one with the double 'Dark Flower' on me?"
A faint, almost imperceptible silver glint flashed in Yang Che's eyes.
Xun Kuo seemed to have anticipated this question from Yang Che. He walked back to the corpses, pointed at them, and said, "Senior, please look. None of these people have Storage Pouches; their Magical Artifacts are carried directly on their bodies.
Then, Senior, look at this person. He has two identical, very special bone dice in his Arms."
As Xun Kuo spoke, he squatted down, took two very peculiar bone dice from the corpse's Arms, and respectfully handed them to Yang Che.
Yang Che took them in his hand and swept them with his Divine Sense, discovering that there was even a Restriction on them.
It seemed that only specific individuals could penetrate it with their Divine Sense.
Upon closer inspection, these bone dice were made of some kind of jade, and a skull was carved on them.
Xun Kuo continued, "Jade bone dice represent 'Dark Flowers' issued by a large Cultivation Family. The skull represents a 'Head Dark Flower'. Two identical skull bone dice mean that the same person has two 'Head Dark Flowers' issued against them. These people were undoubtedly too greedy and took on both 'Dark Flowers' at the same time."
Upon hearing this, Yang Che had basically understood what this 'Dark Flower' was all about.
He glanced at the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator who was still meditating and healing, then turned to Xun Kuo and said, "If Divine Sense penetrates these bone dice, one should be able to obtain information about the person against whom the 'Dark Flower' was issued, right?"
"Precisely. But if it's not the person who accepted this 'Dark Flower', Divine Sense generally cannot penetrate it," Xun Kuo respectfully replied.
Yang Che thought for a moment. To confirm whether the jade bone dice contained his information, he directly put them into the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.
The Senior Xun Kuo, however, simply assumed Yang Che had put them into his Storage Pouch.
Yang Che used his Divine Sense to control the jade bone dice, making them float in front of the Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse. He coldly transmitted, "Mie, infiltrate your Divine Sense into these jade bone dice."
Mie was the name of this Ancient Blood Corpse that Yang Che learned after successfully connecting his soul with the Spirit-Level Ancient Blood Corpse.
The Ancient Blood Corpse 'Mie' had long lost its previous irritability and ferocity. Upon hearing Yang Che's transmission, it immediately released its Divine Sense and enveloped the jade bone dice.
Yang Che directly used Mie's Divine Sense to clearly see that the jade bone dice indeed contained his appearance and other information.
His Divine Sense withdrew from the Magic Stone Space, and the jade bone dice reappeared in his palm.
Yang Che's expression was solemn, and his eyes revealed endless, icy killing intent.
Just then, another group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived at the location.
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator immediately saw them and loudly exclaimed, "The intelligence is wrong! Quick, leave!"
Yang Che, however, gave a sinister smile, instantly unleashing Wind Severing Shadow.
Flying Fire Needles coiled around him as he rushed into the group, transforming into a demon, continuously severing the heads of these people.
Some Cultivators tried to flee, but they could not be faster than Yang Che's ghostly speed.
Soon, blood stained the ground, and only the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator with a broken leg remained.
At this moment, Yang Che suddenly turned to the Senior Xun Kuo, who was already terrified to his core, and asked, "Xun Kuo, do the people who accept the 'Dark Flower' know who issued it?"
Xun Kuo immediately trembled and said, "They probably don't know. But the people above them should know."
Yang Che pondered for a moment and said, "So, that means we must find the organization's lair to find out who issued the 'Dark Flower', right?"
Xun Kuo immediately nodded heavily.
Yang Che stood up and walked over to the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator, coldly saying, "It seems there's no use keeping you alive."
As he spoke, the Flying Fire Needles behind him swiftly transformed into a Flying Needles 'evil Dragon', roaring as it prepared to strangle the man.
"Wait!"
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator was finally terrified.
Originally, he thought that by crushing the Jade Slip, a Core Formation Stage expert would quickly arrive at the location.
But he didn't expect that not only had a long time passed, but the group of people who just arrived were even weaker than their previous group.
"If I take you to find the person who issued the 'Dark Flower', will you let me go?"
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator had already lost a leg; if he lost his life as well, continuing to be stubborn would only be foolish.
"Whether you live or not in the end depends on your future performance. You have no right to bargain."
Yang Che exuded an extremely cold aura all over his body.
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator struggled for a long time, then seemed to make up his mind and said, "I hope you keep your word. Follow me."
Leaving the small courtyard, Yang Che directly followed the Cultivator with the broken leg, flying to a very remote area within the city.
Just as he was about to continue forward, Yang Che sneered and stopped in mid-air.
"Fellow Daoist, we're almost there."
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator saw that Yang Che had stopped walking and felt a little anxious.
"Right here, call out the person you mentioned. I will only wait for half an incense stick of time. If it's past, I will only be able to kill you."
Yang Che looked at the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator in front of him with a mocking, cold, and ruthless gaze.
The Cultivator's heart skipped a beat, but he secretly resented not being able to lure Yang Che into a trap.
He reluctantly used another Sound Transmission Jade Slip, then quietly waited there.
Not long after.
A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, leading more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators, flew over from a secluded, dusty house.
All of them had their faces covered, and each held a Magical Artifact in their hands.
"Are you the leader?" Yang Che coldly asked the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
Upon seeing that Yang Che only had a Qi Refining twelfth layer cultivation, all the Cultivators were greatly puzzled.
"Huh? Isn't this the person against whom the double 'Dark Flower' was issued?"
Suddenly, a Cultivator in the crowd spoke.
"What? He's not dead yet, and he even found his way here?"
After their initial surprise, the Cultivators saw the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator, who had a bitter expression and only one leg remaining.
The Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator immediately shouted, "Quick, go call Senior Jia! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
The Cultivators were stunned. Seeing the Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator's terrified expression, they were all bewildered.
What was there to be afraid of from a mere Qi Refining twelfth layer Cultivator?
The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator calmly walked out from the crowd.
Then, facing the Cultivator with the broken leg, he coldly asked, "Wang San, what exactly happened?"
Yang Che no longer wanted to waste words. Killing intent permeated the air, and the Flying Fire Needles immediately shot out, instantly killing several Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase Cultivators.
The sudden scene immediately made these Cultivators retreat in horror.
