Chapter 302: Chapter 301 Thousands of Evil Cultivators are Late

The four of them didn’t have to wait too long.

The two Nascent Souls fighting in the distance gradually moved closer, stirring up huge waves that startled the nearby sea beasts into fleeing, and even the seabirds on Sanjiao Island took flight from afar in alarm.

"An Evil Cultivator, and also at the Nascent Soul level," Xuan Ye’s brows slightly furrowed.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Senior Xuan Ye, do you recognize them?"

"I don’t," Xuan Ye shook her head.

Those she didn’t recognize, Xuan Qing didn’t recognize either.

Yan Lao joined the conversation, "I don’t recognize them either. My blind guess is that they are newly advanced Nascent Souls from the past hundred years."

Xie Jiuniang found the old man quite interesting.

People age, but their spirits remain alive, lively in a particularly agile way.

Nobody recognized the other Nascent Soul either, but Xie Jiuniang knew who it was from her foresight and said, "The other Nascent Soul is from the Ao Family."

"Eh? Now that’s interesting," Yan Lao exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone let out a silent sigh, feeling lucky.

Having just arrived in this sea region and expecting to search for some time, who knew they would encounter a Nascent Soul from the Ao Family so soon—they could only say that the Heavenly Dao didn’t want to make life easy for the Ao Family.

This truly was good fortune.

Xie Jiuniang felt the same sense of marvel.

The only person who remained composed was Jian Lingyan.

Bang!

Swoosh, swoosh——

The raging waves rolled away, the sound like a roar, as if a fierce beast had been awakened, causing people’s hearts to flutter.

Above the waves, two people were battling while treading on the surf.

It was a fight to the death!

"Wan Qianchi, you dared to kill the disciples of the Ao Family who were undergoing trials. Today, I will not let you go!"

The Ao Family Nascent Soul fought in a raging fury, every move lethal.

The Evil Cultivator Wan Qianchi smiled darkly.

He smiled ominously, with a murderous aura piercing the heavens, having killed more than countless people.

Xie Jiuniang said, "So this Evil Cultivator is called Wan Qianchi."

"The Wan family from the Southeast Sea Region?" Yan Lao’s tone was one of astonishment.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Yan Lao, do you know of this person?"

"I remember hundreds of years ago, the Wan family was annihilated overnight, and only one person escaped— the youngest son of the Wan family’s head, who seemed to be called Wan Qianchi," Yan Lao recalled the once sensational massacre in the Cultivation World, feeling a deep sense of lament.

"Who was the murderer?" Xie Jiuniang asked.

Yan Lao said, "Unknown, it’s an unsolved mystery."

"Could it be the work of the Ao Family?" Xie Jiuniang speculated maliciously about the Ao Family.

Yan Lao kept silent.

Xuan Qing and Xuan Ye simply listened quietly.

The previous conversation quickly confirmed Xie Jiuniang’s speculation.

The nefarious techniques used by Wan Qianchi, with billowing black qi and ghostly figures, clashed with the Ao Family Nascent Soul, causing immense suffering to the Ae Family Nascent Soul—not from being unable to defeat the opponent, but from the grief and indignation of seeing one’s kin turned into Ghost Slaves.

"Hahaha..."

Wan Qianchi laughed arrogantly, "Kill, kill them! Let their souls scatter and disperse!"

"Wan Qianchi, you’re exceedingly cruel, the heavens and earth cannot tolerate you!"

"In terms of cruelty, you can’t match the Ao Family."

An Evil Cultivator who had taken countless lives spoke with extreme hatred, "All the Ao Family deserve to die! Hahaha..., I recently heard some good news, that the Ao Family will soon face a great disaster. Hahaha, that will be satisfying to see."

"I can’t destroy the Ao Family, but the Ao Family will be judged by heaven! Hahaha!"

"My Wan family’s three hundred and ninety-eight lives, you didn’t even spare my pregnant wife. I, Wan Qianchi, may be cruel, but how can I compare with your Ao Family!"

"..."

Xie Jiuniang listened with a heavy heart.

When she looked at Wan Qianchi again, her eyes carried a measure of sympathy.

However, she did not intervene in the fight between the two sides.

Even when Wan Qianchi was eventually defeated, she still did not lift a hand to help.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

However, that did not include an Evil Cultivator whose hands were stained with countless lives.

If Wan Qian Chi had only killed members of the Ao Family, the evil aura on his body wouldn’t be this heavy—it also contained tens of thousands of wronged souls.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t move, and the other three followed suit.

The Nascent Soul of the Ao Family took out a Buddhist Magic Treasure, the Shariputra, covering Wan Qian Chi’s ghost slaves in golden light. Within a few breaths, the form of the ghost slaves began to gradually dissipate.

The golden light resisted the gloomy and evil aura.

Suddenly, Wan Qian Chi fiercely rushed towards the Ao Family’s Nascent Soul at extremely high speed.

"He’s going to self-destruct!" Xuan Qing said coldly.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge explosion resounded over the water.

Xie Jiuniang raised her arm, blocking it in front of her.

Xuan Ye erected a Spiritual Power Barrier, shielding them from the residual impact of the explosion. The traces of the evil aura that reached them either dissipated upon contact with the barrier or were blocked completely.

Xie Jiuniang knew that this might be the work of the Pure World Lotus.

With Wan Qian Chi’s death, the ghost slaves bound by his contract also perished, leaving a heavy concentration of evil and gloomy auras over the sea, unable to dissipate for the time being.

Staying here for a long period would definitely affect the environment in this area.

Then, Xuan Ye waved his hand.

The Yin Sha aura in this part of the sea gradually began to gather together.

Following that, petals appeared.

Everywhere the petals passed, the Yin Sha disappeared.

Xie Jiuniang could only admire how skillfully Divinity Transformation was executed.

Xuan Ye regretfully said, "The last petal of the Pure World Lotus is gone."

Xie Jiuniang thought about the lotus in her own Dantian.

As quiet as a chicken.

Xuan Ye and Chaoyan used the Pure World Lotus to cleanse demonic auras as consumable items.

With every use, there was less left.

Her case was different from theirs; she cultivated the lotus as the master in her Dantian.

This had to do with her Impurity-Free Body.

A body without impurities was perfectly suited for the Pure World Lotus.

Xuan Qing suddenly disappeared on the spot and returned holding something in his hand.

"Nascent Soul?"

Xie Jiuniang recognized it—the Spiritual Soul of the Ao Family’s powerhouse, attempting to flee with his Nascent Soul.

Xuan Qing caught him, "Almost let him escape."

"Who are you people? I am a member of the Ao Family." The Nascent Soul said with a hollow bravado.

Xie Jiuniang sneered, "The very people we intended to capture are from the Ao Family."

What followed was the method of soul searching.

Given that the opponent was a Nascent Soul, Xie Jiuniang knew she wasn’t up to the task and asked the three to do it.

The last one to perform the soul search was Elder Yan.

In the aspect of Spiritual Souls, Elder Yan was more adept.

Unfortunately, after the search, Elder Yan regretfully said, "His Spiritual Soul is restricted with a seal, it’s related to family secrets that can’t be uncovered. Only long-established families possess such methods."

"Then he must be a core figure of the Ao Family," Xie Jiuniang said thoughtfully, reaching to take the Storage Ring from the Nascent Soul, "Elder Yan, seal this Spiritual Soul for now. Don’t let him die yet; I don’t particularly want to alarm others unnecessarily."

As long as the Spiritual Soul is not extinguished, the Soul Token won’t shatter.

In his case, the Soul Token is likely to have cracks.

Elder Yan said, "We still have to follow the sea chart to search."

"No need, I’ll find it."

The Broken Sword flew out, Xie Jiuniang stepped forward decisively onto the blade, and headed in the direction of the earlier skirmish, finally stopping over a section of the sea.

The three standing not far away.

Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, then expanded, instantly hiding Xie Jiuniang’s figure from view.

The trio stared in shock.

"The, the Law of Time?"

Elder Yan thought he was dreaming, rubbing his eyes, then again, "Am I dreaming?"

"No, it seems we are all dreaming..."

Xuan Qing and Xuan Ye were equally incredulous.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t share this astonishing discovery with anyone.

Being able to follow Xie Jiuniang here, they had sworn oaths to the Heavenly Dao and were not allowed to reveal any events that occurred during the journey.
