The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 258 - 257 Breath Soil

Chapter 258: Chapter 257 Breath Soil

An almost imperceptible divine sense was monitoring the Tianxu Sect’s flying boat.

If anything was to blame, it was that the younger generation of the Tianxu Sect made too striking an entrance, and the water kirin cub stood out too much. If it were not for the fact that it had already formed a contract and could not change allegiance...

Today’s events won’t end so simply.

Guangcheng and Ziyang exchanged glances.

Then Chaoruo looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Guangcheng sent a message to Chaoruo, "When that cub came out, it was clutching something in its hand, it looked a bit like breath soil."

Breath, breath soil?

Chaoruo was shocked, "Really?"

The words blurted out!

Lord Guangcheng glanced at him, "Why so impatient? You are a sect master, after all."

"My apologies, I have lost my composure," Chaoruo straightened up again, looking very serious and proper, "Little Yuanxi has extraordinary fortune."

"It’s too extraordinary. That’s why certain families are eyeing her up. We still don’t know what unexpected events will occur on the way or who will send people to assassinate her," Lord Ziyang said astonishingly.

As he spoke, he bent down to check on the water kirin.

Guangcheng was surprised, "What makes you say that?"

"Don’t you know how some aristocratic families got their start? Like the Gongsun Family, the Lin Family of Yaoguang City. Even if you didn’t know before, you should have heard the rumors after the fall of Tianji Building," he said.

"I have heard something about it."

"The rumors are not untrue. Initially, these people even let their juniors interact with my disciple..."

The matter of some aristocratic families seizing the chances of those with great fortune was well concealed until the scandal of the Tianji Building erupted. Before that, not many in the Cultivation World knew about it, and the few tidbits that did leak were considered rumors, stirring no real commotion.

The great sects may have had news of it early on.

But without conflicts of interest, sects would not come forward to explain.

Moreover, with several great families united, even great sects had to tread carefully.

As a sect master, Chaoruo was privy to this, and had even specifically made an investigation, saying somberly, "These aristocratic families are just too idle, they should enlist a batch of strong ones to go serve."

Lord Ziyang agreed deeply.

However, Lord Guangcheng laughed, "Chaoyan is about to return, it’s time to switch personnel. There’s still Lord Wenzhong from the Gongsun Family, he can be sent there."

The person in question, Lord Wenzhong: I really owe you one.

Chaoruo stood up with a smile, "Gongsun Sheng led a few Nascent Soul masters to sneak into the Longyuan Abyss, likely intending to harm disciples from various sects. This sect master is going to have a chat with them."

"It’s time for a talk."

Ziyang and Lord Guangcheng both expressed their support.

After Chaoruo left.

Lord Guangcheng’s gaze lingered on the water kirin, "What’s happening with it..."

"This little fellow has hit the jackpot. It must have swallowed Kirin True Blood and now needs to sleep for a while," Lord Ziyang put it into the spiritual beast bag.

Kirin True Blood, the so-called essence blood, is the origin of blood, the essence of innate life. The amount of essence blood is limited; a few drops at the least, several dozen at the most, its quantity tied to strength and weakness. The water kirin inherently lacked this, due to its incomplete bloodline, and the ancestor kirin’s essence blood was just what it needed to become whole.

The biggest beneficiary of this trip was the water kirin.

Followed by the Tianxu Sect, and then Xie Jiuniang.

At this moment, Xie Jiuniang was hiding in her room, studying a clump of mud given by the kirin phantom. After confirming over and over again, she said in disbelief, "Little Jianjian, is this breath soil?"

"Look at how excited you are. It’s just a clump of mud, isn’t it? Even if it’s breath soil, it’s still just a clump of mud," Jian Lingyan, who was supposed to be in closed-door cultivation inside the contract space, opened up in mockery mode.

Xie Jiuniang looked at him dismissively, "The clump of mud you speak of could be exchanged for many, many spirit stones, way more than what you got today."

Jian Lingyan, "..."

The dog’s master just couldn’t stand to see It prosper.

Xie Jiuniang recalled what had happened in the Longyuan Abyss, then subconsciously touched her waist, finding it empty. Thinking of the last time the defense jade token shattered and her master’s reaction.

Xie Jiuniang was about to go out and talk to her master uncle.

But as she reached the door, she turned back.

Last time was different from this time; last time, there was no Soul Token made, but this time, her master carried her Soul Token on his person.

The thought of the Soul Token inevitably led her to think of the two Nascent Souls she had killed and the death of Gongsun Sheng.

These three would have all made Soul Tokens.

What was their final scene before death?

The scene before Gongsun Sheng’s death eight or nine out of ten times was the Kirin Phantom, at most, there would be a Broken Sword on top of that.

For the Nascent Soul who wielded a sword, his final scene couldn’t have excluded the small palace. For the Nascent Soul who used a knife, his last image was either her or the Water Kirin.

Broken Sword, small palace, and Water Kirin.

Anyone with the intent to investigate would find that it all couldn’t be separated from her.

Because the Broken Sword had been used in public, and although she rarely used it, she didn’t believe the seven aristocratic families wouldn’t be able to figure it out. From this assassination attempt, it was clear that the identity of the Child of Destiny had been exposed. Yet, even knowing the identity of the Child of Destiny, they still desperately wanted her dead; it was somewhat like a dog jumping over a wall in desperation.

"They’ve reached the point of a desperate dog jumping the wall?"

Xie Jiuniang sneered inwardly.

As long as she didn’t die, there was no way she would let them off the hook. Wasn’t it normal for them to act desperately?

It was time for a Golden Core breakthrough!

Otherwise, she would keep being treated like a soft persimmon ready to be squashed.

For several days in a row, Xie Jiuniang didn’t leave the Flying Boat.

The agreed-upon time arrived, and the only person to come out of the Longyuan Abyss was still Xie Jiuniang alone.

Each Sect sent a Divinity Transformation down into the Longyuan Abyss.

Lord Ziyang from the Tianxu Sect went down and brought Raoyang and others up, each one injured and in a sorry state, with both Mo Chuan and Zhan Chengxiu heavily injured and unconscious.

Mo Chuan was not in good condition.

After Lord Guangcheng checked him, he said, "Someone needs to treat his injuries promptly, otherwise it might affect his foundation if delayed for too long."

"You will?" Lord Ziyang asked.

"Agreed." Treating Mo Chuan’s injuries was worth it.

Once they returned to the Sect, he would seek favors from Mo Chuan’s master, so he wouldn’t have to queue for any Elixirs needed in the future.

Thus, Lord Guangcheng took the unconscious Mo Chuan and left.

Then there was True Lord Mujiu, who appeared and carried away Zhan Chengxiu without a word.

Raoyang was surprised, "Master, what is Elder Mujiu doing..."

"He is Zhan Chengxiu’s master," Chaoruo reminded him.

Raoyang felt guilty, "It’s the disciple’s fault for not protecting Junior Brother Zhan properly. If it wasn’t for Junior Brother Mo Chuan’s intervention, we might not have been able to wait for Lord Ziyang’s rescue..."

"You’ve done well already, at least all of you are alive coming out of the Longyuan Abyss," Chaoruo asked for nothing more.

Raoyang shook his head, "But Little Junior Sister..."

"She’s fine, she was the first disciple to come out of the Longyuan Abyss." Chaoruo patted his disciple’s shoulder, informed him of Xie Jiuniang’s condition, and sent him to rest well.

The only unease in Raoyang’s heart upon emerging was about the missing Xie Jiuniang.

Upon learning that she had not died, a great relief washed over him, and he passed out.

Chaoruo, "..."

His second disciple had really grown up!

At that moment, others came over and took the remaining disciples back to the Flying Boat.

Just as Lord Ziyang was approaching the Flying Boat, his expression suddenly changed, "How dare you?!"

"Damn it! Do you think our Tianxu Sect has no one?!"

Lord Guangcheng also shouted furiously at the same time.

Their voices carried far across the Biling Plains.

Lord Ziyang handed the injured disciples over to Chaoruo and instantly rushed off in one direction.
