Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Tianji Building Will Disappear from the Cultivation World

A party of people stealthily infiltrated the back mountain.

The person leading the way had changed from Lao He to Xie Jiuniang.

The reason was that Xie Jiuniang had repeatedly warned everyone, allowing them to avoid the traps set by the Tianji Building and also led them around hidden posts.

Unable to contain himself, Lao He transmitted a message asking, "You’re not one of the Tianji Building’s people, are you?"

"What are you spouting? Don’t you know how much I loathe Tianji Building?" Xie Jiuniang rolled her eyes at him.

"How else would you be so familiar with the surroundings?"

"I have secret techniques for scouting the path; just follow me." Xie Jiuniang led them unimpeded to the entrance to the back mountain, the site of the prison, and transmitted to Lao He, "Inside the entrance of the cave, there’s a late-stage Golden Core, underground there’s a Nascent Soul, two Golden Cores, and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment... Not counting those who have been locked up."

Lao He and the others didn’t dare to use their Divine Sense to investigate for the time being.

It’s unclear how Xie Jiuniang had discovered this.

But after the journey thus far, Lao He was quite convinced by her words.

At such a critical moment, Xie Jiuniang did not hide anything, nor was she worried about them knowing some things, because once this affair was over, they would part ways.

Lao He raised his hand and set up a Barrier, telling everyone what Xie Jiuniang had found out.

Xie Jiuniang raised her hand and said, "I have something to say."

"What do you have to say?" Lao He looked at her with a stern face.

Xie Jiuniang suggested, "I have some bewitching drugs that are somewhat effective against Golden Cores. Should we use them? We could complete the mission with minimal effort."

Lao He and the others looked at each other.

Is this kid really from the righteous sects?

Ultimately, they chose to go along with Xie Jiuniang’s suggestion.

Xie Jiuniang took out a small box of mesmerizing fragrance that she had scavenged from Wu Tong.

Inside the box were only three sticks of incense. She put on gloves and picked up one.

"A Golden Core will grow weak and be unable to summon Spiritual Power once affected," Xie Jiuniang handed it to Lao He, instructing him to light it and throw it into the cave, "Be careful not to get hit by it yourself. I don’t have an antidote for you."

Lao He took it and examined it for a moment, asking, "You have this thing and didn’t make any antidote?"

"It’s not poison. If affected, it only lasts for about half an hour, and then the person will be fine once the time passes." Xie Jiuniang didn’t explain that she wasn’t the one who made the incense.

Lao He told everyone to keep an eye on her.

Previously they didn’t realize this kid was adept with poisons. What if they were all unknowingly afflicted? That would truly be a proverbial capsize in the gutter. This conversation was in private transmissions, unknown to Xie Jiuniang.

Even if she did know, she wouldn’t care anymore.

Cultivators generally don’t like to ally themselves with those proficient in poisons.

Even close relations would worry about being poisoned without warning.

Otherwise, Wu Tong wouldn’t have kept his use of poison so secret.

Lao He didn’t go himself but sent another Nascent Soul to handle it.

Primarily because he didn’t trust Xie Jiuniang, an unstable element. She hadn’t revealed herself before, but once she did, it was as if she had activated cheats, familiar with the environment like it was her own home courtyard.

Clearly, she had been silent and unobtrusive for the past month.

Just as she had said, she was cooperating with them.

Lao He finally couldn’t resist asking, "Little Koumen, what exactly is your Cultivation Base?"

"It’s beyond your guess." Xie Jiuniang smiled mysteriously without a sound.

Lao He shifted his gaze away, not wishing to look at her pretentious and foolish act, his eyes hurt.

No matter how she disguised it, it wouldn’t change her short stature, not even reaching up to his armpit.

Jian Lingyan complained, "Master, he’s looking down on you."

"No, you saw it wrong." Xie Jiuniang denied.

Jian Lingyan insisted, "I swear on the other half of the Lost Sword Body, he is indeed looking down on you, even took a couple of extra glances at master’s height."

Xie Jiuniang fell silent, another day she felt like knocking Broken Sword soaring.

To understand without pointing out, don’t you know?

With the enchanting incense provided by Xie Jiuniang, the Golden Core was easily killed.

Just as they were about to enter the underground tunnel.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from a distance outside.

Boom!

The whole valley was startled, and birds took flight as beasts roared.

Several more booms followed.

The Nascent Soul underground had noticed the anomaly and bellowed, "Who dares to trespass into Tianji Building’s forbidden ground?!"

A figure darted out of the cave entrance.

Lao He and another person joined forces and launched an ambush on the Nascent Soul of Tianji Building.

Xie Jiuniang lay on the Broken Sword retreating far away.

Some Golden Cores came out to investigate.

The other Golden Cores rushed forward and blasted the emerging Golden Core into a mist of blood.

Ten against one, killing with a single move, could only be considered bad luck for Tianji Building’s Golden Core.

"How dare you?!" The Nascent Soul of Tianji Building was shocked and furious.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Lao He landed a blow, "Distracted at a time like this, you’re courting death!"

"I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!"

"Kill!"

The three resumed their fierce battle.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t dare to step within the range of the Nascent Soul Cultivators’ fight.

Meanwhile, ten Golden Cores found the opportunity and entered the underground passage.

Lao He had already briefed them, with only one Golden Core left underground posing no threat; it was better to focus on the rescue. Among them were those whose relatives had disappeared, still holding onto the hope of finding them.

Xie Jiuniang, held up by the Nascent Soul’s battle, was right at the entrance.

Regretting that she hadn’t had a chance to peek inside the cave.

Jian Lingyan reminded her, "I can share my vision with you for a while."

"You can do that?"

"Of course, but it consumes a lot of Divine Sense, if the master could give me a piece of Spiritual Marrow or a Spirit Crystal..."

"No, I don’t want to see, I lost interest," Xie Jiuniang decisively refused.

Jian Lingyan wanted to cry woefully, feeling the master was too harsh, leaving it with no move to play.

Xie Jiuniang focused on the battle.

Two Nascent Souls against one, Lao He and his companion clearly had the upper hand.

Now the battle had erupted not only in the back mountain, but the main hall of Tianji Building was also echoing with deadly clashes, accompanied by relentless booming sounds.

At that moment, the sound of Thunder Explosive Beads bombarding was incessant.

Many of Tianji Building’s important forbidden grounds and Formations were being destroyed by the Thunder Explosive Beads.

The Red-dressed Beauties and their allies were determined to level Tianji Building to the ground, exterminating to the last, slaughtering every Disciple clad in Tianji Building’s robes, regardless of their Cultivation Base.

"Bastards! How dare you?!" The head of Tianji Building roared in anger, resonating through the skies.

The roar was so intense that Xie Jiuniang’s ears were momentarily deafened.

"Mother of mercy, is this the wrath of a Divinity Transformation?" Xie Jiuniang was terrified.

Jian Lingyan spoke irritably, "Must be brainless. By exerting his pressure and shouting like that, he has quickened the death of those with lower cultivation in Tianji Building. He’s actually done us a big favor."

Because among those who had come, the least powerful was Xie Jiuniang herself.

And currently, those imprisoned underground, being subject to the Divine Transformation’s pressure, had a minimal effect on them, allowing them to fortunately survive.

Xie Jiuniang laughed.

In her previous life, she had seen the head of Tianji Building once.

It was on the day of her grand wedding with Lin Wangchen when the head of Tianji Building had officiated the ceremony.

Back then, he had asked for a drop of her blood from her heart, talking about some sworn alliance.

Now thinking back, there must have been some trickery involved, something she couldn’t see through.

But it no longer mattered.

The cause of a previous life had borne the fruit of the present day.

After tonight, Tianji Building would vanish from the Cultivation World.
