Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Slaughter All Members of the Gongsun Family in the Western Region

Old He looked towards the direction of the Divinity Transformation.

"Kid, you’re quite mysterious." He, a Nascent Soul, had not sensed the approach of the Divinity Transformation, yet this kid had discovered it first.

Xie Jiuniang’s face turned deathly pale, "Is now the time to talk about this? Let’s escape quickly."

"Why would that Divinity Transformation be chasing the Flying Boat?"

"Nonsense! Of course, to destroy the evidence of Tianji Building’s crimes." Xie Jiuniang was almost frantic.

Old He then stared deeply at Xie Jiuniang, "Aren’t you the kid who tipped them off?"

Xie Jiuniang glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Ha, alright, I’ll trust you this time." Old He turned his head back and chuckled, looking towards the rapidly approaching shape of the Divinity Transformation. He threw Xie Jiuniang onto the Flying Boat in one motion, "Kid, hurry and inform Brother Qi to escape with you."

Brother Qi was another Nascent Soul.

With Old He’s throw, Xie Jiuniang was instantly drawn closer to the Flying Boat.

In midair, the Broken Sword flew out, catching her steadily and then, without waiting for her command, carried her swiftly toward the Flying Boat.

When Xie Jiuniang looked back, she saw Old He confronting the Divinity Transformation.

A Nascent Soul blocking a Divinity Transformation was no different than courting death!

In an instant, Xie Jiuniang felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and her heart ached immensely.

"I’m too weak, Jian Lingyan." Xie Jiuniang instinctively sought someone to confide in.

Jian Lingyan sensed the huge fluctuation in its master’s emotions and knew she was suffering, "You’re still young... take revenge for him in the future."

"Remember the aura of that Divinity Transformation!" Xie Jiuniang turned her head as she drew closer to the Flying Boat.

Brother Qi spotted her, and also noticed the abnormal situation in the distance, reaching out to pull her into the Flying Boat, "Little Koumen, what’s going on?"

"A Divinity Transformation is chasing us, and Old He went to intercept it alone," Xie Jiuniang said with teary eyes.

Brother Qi’s expression turned grave, yet he remained calm, "I understand."

He turned around and called over a Golden Core cultivator to hand over the control of the Flying Boat. He instructed them to escape urgently, and if they couldn’t, to split up and flee, not to die in vain. Only by preserving their lives could they seek revenge.

After that, he left the Flying Boat, heading towards the battle where Old He was.

Xie Jiuniang could only watch with wide eyes as he left, soon followed by several other Golden Core cultivators who flew out to catch up with Brother Qi.

At this moment, the atmosphere was saturated with sadness and heaviness.

They all knew that this could be a one-way trip to certain death, and yet, they were willing to go. Why? They had a greater chance of survival than anyone else on the Flying Boat!

Yet not a single one of them fled first?!

Xie Jiuniang clenched her fists tightly, almost enough to draw blood.

This was not a time to sit and wait for death; she had to do something. She went to the control room of the Flying Boat and saw the remaining four Golden Cores channeling their Spiritual Power into the Flying Boat.

Old He and Brother Qi were only buying them time to escape. It was just a matter of time before the Divinity Transformation caught up.

The pilot of the Flying Boat was exerting all his effort to increase its speed!

Xie Jiuniang took out a large chunk of Top Grade Spiritual Stones and inserted it into a slot in the Flying Boat.

The Golden Cores saw this and were astonished.

None of them had Top Grade Spiritual Stones.

Nobody expected Xie Jiuniang, who seemed weakest, to possess one.

With a hoarse voice, Xie Jiuniang said, "Activate the Flying Boat’s maximum speed and strongest defenses."

"But that will consume a lot..." the Golden Core operating the Flying Boat warned.

Xie Jiuniang said, "It’s fine, I still have more Spirit Stones."

With that, the Golden Core immediately activated the Flying Boat’s maximum speed and strongest defenses, which of course would take a little time to engage.

Meanwhile, Jian Lingyan said sullenly, "Master, Old He took a direct hit from the Divinity Transformation and crashed into a mountain below. He hasn’t come out..."

Xie Jiuniang abruptly stood up and ran towards the deck at the rear of the Flying Boat.

Even though she couldn’t see that side, she still rushed over, feeling a trembling in her heart and her eyes misting over.

"Master, Old Qi is going to self-destruct..."

No sooner had the Sword Spirit’s words fallen than a resentful roar from Old Qi came from afar, "Daoyin, you old dog, your Gongsun Family has abetted tyranny, and you will surely not die a good death!"

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded.

That explosion was accompanied by the fall of a Nascent Soul.

Xie Jiuniang staggered, dropping to one knee, her eyes filled with a moment’s confusion and hatred as she looked ahead.

She had known them for only a short time, and their interaction wasn’t deep...

But at this moment, the hatred made her blood run cold, and she clenched her teeth and cursed, "The Gongsun Family...right?"

Another Golden Core self-destructed in succession!

Xie Jiuniang woodenly watched everything but could do nothing, couldn’t help them.

At this moment, those who were saved on the Flying Boat also detected the anomaly.

A Divinity Transformation’s Divine Sense had locked onto the Flying Boat.

Xie Jiuniang turned back to look at the thousands of people on the Flying Boat, her eyes red with hatred as she said, "Behind Tianji Building are the several aristocratic families; your enemies are them. Now pursuing us is a Divinity Transformation from the Northern Region’s Gongsun Family, and everyone else has already died to save you. Whether we can escape this calamity today is still unknown."

"If...if any of you are lucky enough to survive, you must avenge them!"

"Exterminate every member of the Western Region’s Gongsun Family!"

Xie Jiuniang shouted the last sentence with all her strength.

The others followed, yelling with hatred, "Exterminate every member of the Western Region’s Gongsun Family!!!"

This cry shook the heavens and the earth!

It echoed through the continuous mountains, traveling very far, and even the powerful ones nearby who came upon hearing the commotion heard this resentful roar—the sound of thousands in despair and hatred.

Suddenly, a sword light shot toward the Flying Boat from afar.

This was a staggering strike from a Divinity Transformation!

The medium-sized Flying Boat’s defenses could withstand a high-level Demonic Beast but not this strike.

Four Golden Cores simultaneously fortified the Flying Boat’s defenses with all their might.

Knowing it was a strike from a Divinity Transformation, everyone else despaired!

Xie Jiuniang stood on the rear deck of the Flying Boat, facing the oncoming strike head-on.

Her expression was calm, with no sign of evasion.

If she were to dodge, there was no one behind her who could withstand it!

Seemingly sensing its master’s resolve, Jian Lingyan suddenly erupted with intense sword light, fiercely bright, shooting up to the sky, almost enveloping Xie Jiuniang entirely.

Hum, clang, clang...

All the sheathed swords on the Flying Boat vibrated, as if in submission.

It was as if, in that moment, Xie Jiuniang herself was a divine sword.

Mighty to the extreme, fearless.

In terms of momentum, she was not outdone by the strike from a Divinity Transformation.

Because of this, the swiftly approaching Divine Sense sword light seemed to stall for an instant.

Xie Jiuniang fiercely threw something forward.

It was a Stone Elephant Puppet!

In an instant, the Stone Elephant burst into dazzling light.

The body of the Stone Elephant suddenly grew, reaching over ten zhang in height, and charged forward with force.

Almost at the same time, Xie Jiuniang, wielding the Broken Sword, poured all her strength into a sword slash, its momentum like a rainbow, confronting the Divine Sense sword light together with the huge Stone Elephant.

The sound was earth-shattering, with the force of thunder.

Life or death, it all hinged on this gamble...
