Chapter 128 - 127: What a good person!

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: What a good person!

Xie Jiuniang actually had reservations about the matters she discussed with Chaoyan regarding Tianji Building.

For example, she didn’t mention a single word about the possession by Daoyin.

To speak of it would be too difficult to explain, how could a mere Foundation Establishment withstand a Divinity Transformation possession? That’s not just a joke, it’s a joke no one would dare make. Even if Chaoyan believed her, he might worry about potential risks and want to inspect her Sea of Consciousness. What then?

Refuse?

He meant well by her, there were no excuses for refusal.

However, she did talk about the Stone Elephant and Puppetry Technique, and the matter of the old woman self-destructing and passing on her lifetime of knowledge through a wisp of her Spiritual Soul.

Chaoyan sighed at his disciple’s good fortune and then asked her to bring out the damaged Stone Elephant.

On the surface, the Stone Elephant appeared to be intact, with only a clear sword mark visible.

The mechanisms inside, however, had been thoroughly destroyed by the power of Divinity Transformation.

After checking it, Chaoyan said, "The Stone Elephant is damaged, but the materials are rare and excellent in the Cultivation World currently. When we return to the Sect, find an Artifact Refining Master to extract the materials, so they can be used to craft your Exclusive Magic Treasure in the future."

"Can it be combined with the Tortoise Shell?"

"That shouldn’t be a problem."

The insight of a Nascent Soul, Xie Jiuniang from both her past and present life could not compare.

Chaoyan then asked, "Shall I find someone for you, or will you find them yourself later?"

"You do it, you do it. Hehe," Xie Jiuniang was not foolish. With her little abilities, she couldn’t invite a powerful Artifact Refining Master from the Sect.

Chaoyan nodded, put away the Stone Elephant, and suddenly noticed that Xie Jiuniang’s complexion didn’t seem right, "What’s the matter? You look unwell."

"Perhaps the injury... hasn’t healed?" Xie Jiuniang found an excuse.

What she needed now was to go into retreat. Her Soul Power was too abundant and reaching its limit. If not for someone following her, she would have long entered the Fusang Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang tentatively said, "It’s getting dark, could we find a place to rest?"

"If you have something to say, say it directly. Don’t beat around the bush," as soon as Chaoyan saw her like this, he knew she had something on her mind.

Xie Jiuniang said, "I need to go into retreat."

"Is that so, do you need to rent a cave dwelling? If so, we will have to wait until the next city," Chaoyan estimated the time it would take to reach the next city, "We won’t arrive until tomorrow noon."

Xie Jiuniang shook her head, "No need."

"If it’s not needed, then any mountain top will do." Thereupon, Chaoyan flew to the top of the nearest mountain peak and leveled out a flat space with his hand.

Chaoyan then asked, "Shall I set it up for you, or will you do it yourself?"

"I’ll do it."

Xie Jiuniang was very familiar with this process and quickly arranged the Formation, then threw out the Giant Tortoise Shell. She had intended to look back and ask Chaoyan whether to enter the Formation or stay outside.

But when she turned around, she felt envious.

A luxurious little palace on flat land.

A top-grade Law House, something Xie Jiuniang had wanted in her previous and current life but could never have the fate to own.

Her rich master had quite a fortune.

When presenting her gift as a new disciple, could she possibly ask for a return gift... no, not a little palace, even a small room would do.

Seeing this, Xie Jiuniang discarded the question she had on her lips.

She entered the Giant Tortoise Shell and sealed the small opening.

Xie Jiuniang thought it over and didn’t enter the Fusang Secret Realm. Compared to entering an unstable secret realm, having a Nascent Soul protector outside was safer.

She took out her meditation mat and began to sit in meditation.

Sealing away the majority of the Soul Power that was almost overflowing from her Sea of Consciousness, she started to refine the remaining portion with concentration.

Xie Jiuniang did not know that just as she began her retreat, a Divinity Transformation powerhouse arrived outside.

The Divine Sense of the Divinity Transformation swept across the mountain peak and flashed upon seeing the little palace.

"Lord Wenzhong from the Gongsun Family?"

Chaoyan emerged from the little palace, frowning slightly. Lord Wenzhong’s immediate usage of Divine Sense to inspect the area made him quite unhappy.

However, according to the rules of the Cultivation World where the strong are revered, Chaoyan greeted Lord Wenzhong with a bow, "Tianxu Sect’s Chaoyan, I pay my respects to Lord Wenzhong. May I know the purpose of your visit?"

Wenzhong asked coldly, "Have you been here the entire time?"

"No, I’ve only just settled here for half an hour," Chaoyan did not know the reason for the other party’s visit and wondered if his little disciple’s matter had been exposed.

Wenzhong continued to use his Divine Sense to inspect the area, not even overlooking the Formation set up by Xie Jiuniang, but unfortunately, he still didn’t find anything.

The divination clearly pointed in the right direction, yet they did not find Daoyin along the way.

With a hint of arrogance, Wenzhong inquired, "Why did you choose to stop here?"

Chaoyan was displeased with his attitude; he was not from the Gongsun Family, so why should he have to report to him?

Wenzhong knew he was being unreasonable, but what of it?

What right did a Nascent Soul have to discuss dignity with someone who had undergone Divinity Transformation? Even though he knew behind Chaoyan stood Qiansha and the great families, he was too anxious to find Daoyin to care about such matters. Seeing that Chaoyan was slow to answer, he unconsciously exerted some of a Divinity Transformation’s oppressive aura.

Chaoyan felt suffocated—no wonder the Gongsun Family was in decline.

One after another, they were all unreasonable.

Now, of the three who had achieved Divinity Transformation, one was dead, another injured, leaving only him, Wenzhong, unscathed. And he still dared to be so arrogant?

Thinking of his disciple’s deeds, Chaoyan pondered for a moment before replying, "My disciple and I were passing through and she had an insight, so she’s in seclusion. I am here to guard her."

"Is it that child from the Xie Family of Yunmu City? The one who caused the Wu Family a great loss?" Wenzhong’s heart tightened suddenly.

Without any apparent reason, he had the feeling that Daoyin might actually be within the formation.

Recently, he had just doubted the identity of the Child of Destiny, advising the direct descendants in his family not to jump to conclusions too soon...

And here, had he personally encountered them?

He immediately took out the soul token that was almost completely shattered. Given this proximity, if Daoyin were here, it should have responded.

But it didn’t?

Lord Wenzhong couldn’t help but use his Divine Sense to probe the situation of the formation again.

Chaoyan was about to stop him when he was instead suppressed by the Divinity Transformation’s pressure, and he said angrily, "Lord Wenzhong, do not push people too far."

"This lord is searching for a missing clan member and sensed that he might be here."

Wenzhong made up an excuse on the spot, continuing his search without any regard for others. Searching repeatedly, he still didn’t find any trace of Daoyin.

However, there was something peculiar inside the formation.

There was actually no one inside?

Suddenly, Wenzhong remembered something; Chaoyan’s young disciple had an Ancient Ink Turtle Shell. Lifting his hand, he was about to break the formation...

Almost simultaneously, inside the Giant Tortoise Shell.

Xie Jiuniang had just finished refining.

Her Sea of Consciousness was not only brimming but seemed to have expanded by a tenth.

The Spiritual Soul of Daoyin had only a few traces left, on the brink of disappearing but not yet gone, and among the silver light, a ring was revealed.

Huh? A Storage Ring?

Daoyin’s fortune had not been destroyed?

This person had some skills, not only escaping the self-destruction of a Divinity Transformation but also managing to use his Spiritual Soul to take away the Storage Ring.

This was a fortune delivered to her doorstep!

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t help but remark, "Daoyin, your Gongsun Family are all good people. Gongsun Yu sent me the Water-Repelling Pearl and Spirit Stones, and I obtained the Ancient Ink Turtle Shell because your family members were after me."

"Not long ago, Gongsun Xue brought me quite a few resources."

"Now it’s your turn, delivering to me your own head and your fortune. You truly are a good person."

No sooner had these words fallen.

The strand of Spiritual Soul struggling for life trembled a few times before suddenly breaking, allowing the Time Leaf to take its chance and absorb it completely.

Daoyin was finally dead for good.

No one knew that in the last moment of his life, Daoyin was driven to collapse by someone’s disdainful words.

This was infuriating to anyone...

Unbearable for any person!

At the same time, the soul token belonging to Daoyin shattered with a snap.

The expression of Lord Wenzhong about to attack the formation changed drastically as he stared at the broken soul token in his palm, from which a wisp of Spiritual Soul flew out. He saw the last scene before Daoyin’s death in it—a silver light?!

What was this?

Just a silver light and nothing else.

What... exactly was this?
