Chapter 69: Chapter 67: Naturally, He Was Killed

Soul Devouring Peak.

In the Cultivation Hall, Qiu Yinger was very attentive to Si Nanyan’s words. Si Nanyan had told her to reveal a small flaw; consequently, she no longer returned to the secret chamber for cultivation. She waited there daily for an enemy attack. However, despite her constant vigil, no enemy attack came; instead, the curse arrived first.

PFFT!

Qiu Yinger, who was cultivating, suddenly coughed up a torrent of fresh blood.

"How... could this happen? It’s... back... again!"

Qiu Yinger’s eyes widened as she looked at her blood-soaked, trembling figure.

She had already let down her guard, believing the curse would not return. But reality proved her naïve.

BOOM!

The Spiritual Qi within her body began to reverse, throwing her Sea of Qi into turmoil. That strange Power of the Curse once again tortured her from within. This time, the curse was even more violent than any before. Her soul platform, once clear and bright, even started to become obscured by a layer of grey mist.

Her soul platform was clouded over!

Her cultivation began to decline.

"AHHH!"

Qiu Yinger frantically clawed at her hair, feeling like she was going mad.

Why! Why has the curse come again?

She couldn’t stand it anymore. Deep inside her heart, even inner demons began to sprout. It was unclear whether this was an intrinsic effect of the curse or a consequence of being tormented too many times.

"Who exactly is it, and why torture me so mercilessly!"

An intense hatred filled Qiu Yinger’s heart, but she was powerless against it. Ultimately, she could only rage impotently.

Soon, her meridians started to rupture inch by inch; even her Sea of Qi began to sustain damage. This time, her injuries were more severe than any she had suffered before. Her very cultivation foundation was starting to crumble.

"Am I... going to... die..."

Qiu Yinger collapsed weakly onto the ground, her body convulsing as blood spilled continuously from her mouth.

This curse lasted an especially long time, so long that Qiu Yinger thought she wouldn’t survive.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Just then, that strange Power of the Curse receded like water once again. It was as if nothing had happened. All that was left behind was Qiu Yinger, terribly ravaged and too dreadful to behold.

「...」

[You have cursed Qiu Yinger with the Unfounded Curse, inflicting her with severe injuries and yourself with fatal wounds...]

[Your body is rapidly recovering...]

[Five... four... three... two... one...]

[Your injuries are healed!]

PTUI!

Wen Zhixing spat out the remaining clotted blood. His complexion swiftly turned from pallid back to healthy. The backlash from the curse inflicted injuries far more severe than Qiu Yinger’s; he had been close to death. But the recovery speed of the Longevity Body was truly too fast. In just a few seconds, his injuries were completely healed.

"Just a fatal wound."

Wen Zhixing stood up and moved his limbs, feeling no discomfort. Hardly worth mentioning, he thought.

With my current physical body, cursing a cultivator of the Mysterious Might Realm should not be a problem. If not for the once-a-day limit, I could have cursed Qiu Yinger to death by now! Of course, it would be more troublesome if Qiu Yinger died now. No rush.

Wen Zhixing mused, Now that Qiu Yinger is severely injured, Wen Miner should soon get the news. The time to make a move will probably be in these next few days.

What a pity, with my current strength, exterminating the Wonderous Palace is still too far-fetched. The hatred in Wen Zhixing’s heart had never subsided; the scene of his life being forcibly drained through essence absorption was permanently etched in his mind. The Wonderous Palace had committed many evils, and it was only a matter of time before they would be eradicated.

Tomorrow, I’ll start by collecting some interest.

Wen Zhixing looked down at himself. He wore only a coarse grey Taoist robe and nothing more.

As a core disciple now, being so shabby doesn’t quite fit my status, does it? I should at least have a few Spiritual Instruments by my side. I should also have some elixirs on hand just in case.

He was now a revered core disciple. Having been given the title, he should receive commensurate treatment.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhixing’s eyes narrowed slightly. I’ll also take the opportunity to gather more spirit stones, talismans, and the like. Since I’m planning to flee, I might as well harvest as much as possible.

Wen Zhixing chuckled. With only three managers on Soul Devouring Peak, Si Nanyan and Yun Xinyue in closed-door cultivation, and Qiu Yinger heavily injured, who’s there to control me?

I’ll curse you again first thing tomorrow morning, so you can’t even get out of bed, he thought with satisfaction before falling asleep.

「...」

Meanwhile, as soon as Wen Miner returned to her quarters, she began contacting people from the Righteous Sun Sect. This time, however, she did not get in touch with Mu Yunqing.

[Master, your disciple has discovered a Pure Yang Body.]

「...」

At the Righteous Sun Sect.

Within a great hall, two figures were playing Go. The board displayed an intricate endgame pattern of interweaving black and white stones.

One of them, though his hair and beard were white, was vigorous and alert, his eyes keen. He was the Divine Communication Realm cultivator who had pursued Feng Ruoli that day.

"Yun Qing, has the Wonderous Palace made any moves lately?" Wang Shiyang asked, a gentle smile on his face. As he spoke, he picked up a black stone and placed it on the board with fluid precision, in one fell swoop.

"Just some minor activities," replied Mu Yunqing from the other side. Dressed in blue, he offered a light smile. "However, Si Nanyan’s breakthrough is imminent. I fear it might trouble Mr. Wang to act again."

He held a white stone that jumped at his fingertips before landing softly on the board. His unhurried move conveyed a sense of unwavering stability.

"The Wonderous Palace has suffered such a great loss this time and yet swallowed it whole. Si Nanyan is quite forbearing indeed." Wang Shiyang nodded, then frowned as he studied the Go board. The interweaving black and white stones mirrored the current situation. The fate of the world was still undecided.

Just as Mu Yunqing was about to speak, Wang Shiyang’s jade talisman at his waist flashed with a surge of light. Wang Shiyang removed the talisman and was slightly surprised. "Hmm? It’s Miner. That girl actually took the initiative to contact me."

Hearing this, Mu Yunqing’s hand, holding a stone, paused slightly.

[Master, your disciple has discovered a person with a Pure Yang Body.]

The next moment, Wen Miner’s voice slowly emerged from the jade talisman.

"A Pure Yang Body!" Wang Shiyang immediately stood up, his expression tinged with shock. The sect had been searching for a Pure Yang Body for so long, and now one had finally appeared.

Mu Yunqing, however, clenched his fists tightly and slowly exhaled.

Then, Wen Miner’s voice came again from the jade talisman, informing them of Wen Zhixing’s situation but making no mention of Mu Yunqing.

"Did you already know about this?" Wang Shiyang turned to Mu Yunqing directly.

"Yes." Mu Yunqing nodded, not denying it.

"Are you afraid he would threaten your position?" Wang Shiyang’s brow furrowed.

"I’m not afraid," Mu Yunqing replied, his demeanor still calm. "I just can’t accept that after all these years of hard work, Master was still searching for a Pure Yang Body. He never considered me for the position of Sect Master."

"What do you plan to do about it?" Wang Shiyang regained his composure and sat back down.

"Naturally, kill him." Mu Yunqing did not conceal his intention at all, sneering, "Pure Yang Body? So what? Given time, I could surpass even the Founding Ancestor."
