Ye Que said as he drank a sip of apricot wine, before turning toward Qian Shuxiao. &quot;Don't look at me like that. Do you think that cultivation only applies to meditate deep in the mountains?&quot; 

&quot;Wrong!&quot; 

&quot;You're hugely mistaken!&quot; 

&quot;The real Cultivation World is filled with darkness and filth. Every place in it is filled with lies and violence. Let me tell you, nearly all of the largest sects were created with sword and dagger.&quot; 

&quot;Both of you know very well how many herbs we've used up in the past month just to get you into the Pre-celestial Realm. Do you think that cultivation alone will bring you all the herbs we need?

It was dark and obscured from sight. 

A murderous spider web appeared out of nowhere. 

The riders sped toward the web, and they were caught unawares. Their leader's horse was directly cut into two by the web, and it tumbled onto the ground, sending the leader flying.
