Great Luck

Chapter 18: Better to be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken

Zi Dong tried to wield the Spirit Sword for a while, but he couldn't even touch it. Zhou Xinyu's dozen or so flying swords were too fast, and he couldn't find any gaps.

Then let Zhou Xinyu handle it all. After all, he could inexplicably gain luck, so it's a good opportunity to learn her techniques.

The East Rising Purple Qi can slow down the opponent, equivalent to a slow-motion function, which allows Zi Dong to clearly observe Zhou Xinyu's techniques.

Last time in the Bai Family Village, when he was being chased by that Innate Realm Demonic Cultivator, Zi Dong accidentally discovered that the East Rising Purple Qi can slow down the opponent, so he used up some luck to introduce it into his eyes.

Not only does it have a slow-motion function, but it can also adjust the multiplier. However, the larger the multiplier, the more luck it consumes.

Zi Dong immediately consumed 1,000 points of First Grade luck and introduced the East Rising Purple Qi into his eyes, adjusting it to ten times slower.

Zhou Xinyu's hand speed was extremely fast, and she kept repeating it. Zi Dong quickly memorized over a hundred techniques.

Although he didn't understand a single one, he would slowly comprehend them when he returned, which would definitely be of great help in controlling his flying sword.

The Cloud Heaven Technique also has techniques for controlling flying swords, but compared to Zhou Xinyu's, the speed difference is too great.

The Star Refining Realm Demonic Cultivator, seeing that the stewards and disciples were heavily injured, had long lost the desire to fight, especially since they were worried that the other side would have reinforcements.

They didn't hesitate to use their true essence to force the Star Refining Realm elder of the affiliated sect to retreat, and quickly led the remaining soldiers to escape.

The cultivators of the affiliated sect didn't dare to chase after them, including the Star Refining Realm elder, all of them were looking at Zhou Xinyu, who had more than ten flying swords hovering above her head.

"Did these Demonic Cultivators harm the people in the village?" Zhou Xinyu retracted her flying swords and asked the Star Refining Realm elder with a very serious expression.

"We came suddenly, and our manpower was relatively small, so these Demonic Cultivators didn't use the villagers as hostages."

The Star Refining Realm elder glanced at Zhou Xinyu's white dress. Although he was a little annoyed, he still answered proactively.

Although he knew that Zhou Xinyu was definitely not at the Qi Attracting Realm, he couldn't act arrogantly because her cultivation level was higher than his.

After all, she had a cloud embroidered on her chest, while he had a mountain embroidered on his. The Cloud Heaven Sect's reputation was there, and the affiliated sect was inferior.

"How could you dare to barge in with so few people?!" Zhou Xinyu let out a sigh of relief, but still questioned.

"The intelligence said that there were only two Demon Race stewards leading a dozen disciples here, but unexpectedly, there was also a Star Refining Realm elder, with a total of more than thirty people!"

The Star Refining Realm elder was even more annoyed by the question. If the one who reported the intelligence wasn't from his own sect, he would suspect that this bastard was colluding with the Demon Race.

"Alright, clean up this place, then appease the villagers and continue patrolling!"

Zhou Xinyu waved her hand at the Star Refining Realm elder, as if giving orders to an insignificant subordinate, and then greeted Zi Dong, who was still lost in thought, to walk towards the village.

"Elder, how can they dare to boss you around when they are at most at the Innate Realm cultivation level?!" The Profound Heaven Realm steward immediately scolded angrily when Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu's figures disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Ah, the disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect can at least cultivate to the Body Integration Realm, and they are also very fast. If they are not elders of the Cloud Heaven Sect, they are the sect masters of the affiliated sects. If you want to survive in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, you can only swallow your pride!"

The Star Refining Realm elder sighed deeply. In the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, there is a saying that it is better to be a disciple of the Cloud Heaven Sect than to be an elder of an affiliated sect.

"Zi Dong, what are you thinking about?!" They had already reached the village entrance, but Zi Dong was still lost in thought. Zhou Xinyu curiously pulled at him.

"The heavens have given me the luck tree of the Demon Hunting Group, and also gave me 10,000 points of Second Grade luck. I'm studying it." Zi Dong furrowed his brows and said.

"Do you have any questions?!" Zhou Xinyu was even more curious when she saw the serious expression on Zi Dong's face.

"You got the most luck, followed by those two patrol members. I got the least, not much more than those who didn't come!" Zi Dong felt disappointed. As the captain of the Demon Hunting Group, he was almost on par with those who didn't come, despite taking great risks.

"Of course, the more luck you get is from participating in the battle!" Zhou Xinyu said matter-of-factly, "Why didn't you take action just now? If you had, we would have gained more luck. As the captain, you are crucial!"

"If I had taken action after you released dozens of flying swords, wouldn't I have been pierced like a sieve?!" Zi Dong glared at Zhou Xinyu unhappily. How could he just stand by and watch when he could find even the slightest opportunity? He was the captain of the Demon Hunting Group!

"Did I hurt any of those disciples from the affiliated sects?!" Zhou Xinyu became annoyed. This showed extreme distrust towards her.

"Those disciples have been running ahead the whole time, of course you wouldn't have hurt them!" Zi Dong sneered. Even if it were him, he wouldn't have been able to hurt them.

"Zi Dong, let me make it clear to you one last time. My spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, not weaker than a cultivator in the Void Shattering Realm. I have even greater control over flying swords!" Zhou Xinyu gritted her teeth and said, then took out a flying sword and flew straight towards the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zi Dong quickly followed on his flying sword. If he encountered another Demon Race cultivator, he would have no way out. He absolutely couldn't offend women in the future!

They flew back to the Yun Tian Peak without any danger along the way. Zi Dong returned to his Cave Mansion and immediately fell into a deep sleep. His nerves were too tense and he needed a good rest.

He woke up at dawn and quickly went to Zhou Xinyu's Cave Mansion. After apologizing sincerely, they began discussing the formation of small teams.

It was impossible for over a thousand cultivators to act together. Zi Dong planned to divide them into ten small teams and form a special operations team.

"What is a special operations team?!" Zhou Xinyu, who had forgiven Zi Dong and was extremely curious about his new idea, asked.

"It's a small team formed by strong cultivators," Zi Dong explained simply. A special operations team was a special combat team that completed tasks that other small teams couldn't.

"Zi Dong, are you suggesting that the elders join the special operations team?!" Zhou Xinyu looked at Zi Dong in surprise.

"The Demon Hunting Group was formed by disciples. The Sect Master definitely won't allow the elders to join. I'm talking about Core Condensation Realm disciples," Zi Dong quickly explained again.

"What's the difference between them and other small teams then!" Zhou Xinyu scoffed. How strong could Core Condensation Realm disciples be, no matter how strong their spiritual consciousness was?

"The Core Condensation Realm disciples in the special operations team must each have their own unique skills. For example, like your powerful spiritual consciousness, and they must also practice formation tactics to achieve perfect coordination," Zi Dong understood the special operations teams on Earth. They not only had individual strength, but also had team spirit.

Zhou Xinyu wasn't interested in the special operations team. No matter how powerful the spiritual consciousness of Core Condensation Realm disciples was, could it surpass that of a cultivator in the Void Shattering Realm?

Even if their formation tactics were powerful, they were still Core Condensation Realm cultivators. Even if they were as coordinated as one person, they were still Core Condensation Realm cultivators. The Demon Hunting Group still relied on her, a cultivator in the Void Shattering Realm.

Zi Dong began to get busy, shuttling between the affiliated sects. He had to first select members for the special operations team and then form the small teams.

Zhou Xinyu used cultivation as an excuse and didn't run around with Zi Dong. The higher her cultivation level, the greater her help to the Demon Hunting Group. Zi Dong understood this, of course.

But before he could form the special operations team, he received a notice from the Hall of Executors. The Demon Hunting Group was to have a competition with the Demon Slaying Department.

This was also the intention of the sect. The disciples' groups couldn't be too large, they had to take the high-quality route, and of course, Feng Yun Tian played a big role in this.

Three disciples from each side would participate. Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu had to fight each other. The side that won two out of three battles would determine whether the Demon Hunting Group or the Demon Slaying Department would disappear.
