Chapter 567: Chapter 259: Tao VS Lao Deng

"SS? Are you sure?"

"Could I be mistaken about this?"

"Can you beat them?"

"Hey! Are you kidding me! I’m a Spirit Cultivator, they are mere slaves! Even though... I’m seriously injured right now, Advanced Spiritual Slaves have their master’s exclusive protection. Those three old guys have recovered a lot of their strength... Anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem to hold them off..."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Don’t let your voice get weaker, big sister!

Number 5 sneered lightly: "Don’t worry, I’ve eaten the sugar pills, I guarantee you won’t have any issues! Quickly, go find Old Sophie, we’ll just snatch him directly!"

"Don’t be impatient, don’t underestimate these two enemies."

The tone of the War Puppet’s voice became somewhat low.

Wang Jixuan’s thoughts continued to turn continuously.

The Spiritual Sense had already become his greatest reliance, capable of peering from long distances, while the opponent had no means of counter-detection.

He used his Spiritual Sense to observe Meng Jin and the others.

The War Puppet’s combat power now was actually slightly inferior to the last time it fought Meng Jin.

Although the mana was pure, the quantity was insufficient;

Meng Jin’s subordinates were also present, and the team had been somewhat strengthened;

However, the Daoist also had some tricks... These demonic auras were several hundred to thousand times more than those refined from the residual souls of Blade Beasts back then...

If Meng Jin could be killed, the Spirit Demon abolished, and the core seized, it wouldn’t matter if the War Puppet was damaged.

Wang Jixuan had already made his judgment. He led Number 5 to quietly approach Old Sophie’s spire.

This spire seemed like a living entity, slowly moving within the stratum. At this moment, it had already moved more than 200 meters towards the surface. It should have sensed the Blade Beast Tide approaching, and its instinct wanted to flee.

The greatest enemy here, of course, was Old Sophie and his Spirit Slaves within the spire, while Meng Jin and others were merely secondary.

The War Puppet moved a bit closer.

The Daoist’s brows were gradually furrowing.

Getting slightly closer to the spire, Wang Jixuan felt a chaotic and violent wave of demonic aura. The demonic aura was mixed with blood, the result of refining the living souls of creatures but failing to dissolve their resentment;

The spellcaster would inevitably suffer strong backlash.

Wang Jixuan cautiously probed his Spiritual Sense into these black and red auras, seeing the spire and several figures shrouded in the black-red aura, looking like mummified corpses.

Spirit Slaves!

Dozens of them!

And all of them were S-class and A-class!

Spirit Slaves collected by Spirit Cultivators into the spire wouldn’t be weak to begin with.

Previously, when the Six Spirit Cultivators fought their way out of the Blade Beast encirclement, it was primarily these Spirit Slaves who battled the Blade Beast Tide. Quite a few Spirit Slaves were missing limbs.

There were still a large number of Spirit Slaves within the spire, numbering in the hundreds, and the spire also had extended subspaces, with an area close to the top floor where Old Sophie resided. There were also three seemingly young men and women.

They should be SS-class or even higher Spirit Slaves.

However, all three had fatal injuries, with their soul fluctuations reduced to a faint trace.

The Spiritual Sense continued to probe upwards...

Without the protection of the stone slab subspace, Old Sophie’s spire had no secrets in front of Wang Jixuan.

Very quickly, the Daoist’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Look at that, what a surprise!

The top floor of the spire was an ’inner universe’, with its internal volume far exceeding its external size. The stone coffin where Number 4 Spirit Cultivator Old Sophie was recuperating rested in the center.

Under the stone coffin, a sea of blood was churning.

Threads of blood-colored auras continuously seeped into the stone coffin, and the emaciated old man within was slowly rising, his complexion rosy, hair black, and a satiated smile on his lips.

Yet, on the old man’s back, large patches of skin were being consumed by the blood aura, underneath which irregular vertical eyes appeared, each containing a resentful soul.

’That’s karma for you, for slaughtering the innocent.’

Wang Jixuan judged:

He didn’t need to do anything; Old Sophie would self-destruct within half a day as the resentful power had already eroded his soul.

However, before self-destruction, Old Sophie might turn into a monster.

Demonic aura, blood aura, resentful spirits, plus the core circuit of a Spiritual Ability User;

When these were pieced together, what kind of monster would be born, Wang Jixuan wasn’t sure.

This monster would inevitably be bloodthirsty, and it might truly threaten the nearby fortresses within a few hundred kilometers.

Originally, the Snow Mountain Base and Rainbow Town’s destruction had already made Wang Jixuan’s brow twitch, suspecting he had acquired a large amount of indirect karma barriers.

If he really let Old Sophie go on a killing spree...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The Daoist could still hear Old Sophie muttering incessantly:

"This is power... souls... give me souls... I am God..."

Seems of no reference value.

Just the ravings of a madman.

Number 5 should have also discovered Old Sophie’s condition, transmitting a light sigh: "This black aura is so terrifying. Although Old Sophie is pretty weak, ending up like this is just too..."

"This is partly my responsibility."

Wang Jixuan sighed:

"I really didn’t expect, he, a Spirit Cultivator at his peak time, would at least be... never mind.

"That he couldn’t muster even a bit of resistance against this kind of soul resentment transformed into demonic aura, I truly overestimated him."

Number 5 snorted: "Don’t underestimate us either. If I were to recover a bit more, I could create a Spiritual Energy Circuit that could purify this demonic aura."

"Of course, I wouldn’t underestimate you," Wang Jixuan smiled, "I only look down upon this Old Sophie."

Number 5 simply said: "He has forgotten how to create and explore, just lying on the achievements of our civilization, thinking himself superior... If they had a bit more responsibility and willingness to sacrifice, considered the gains and losses of our civilization more than their interests, we wouldn’t have been driven to this state by the Blade Beasts."

Her emotions were visibly low, but she forcibly perked up:
