Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The Little Boss Has a Wonderful Idea

Laws are meant to be comprehended in the Divinity Transformation phase.

The gap between those who have comprehended the laws and those who haven’t is vast. And these laws often relate to one’s innate talent.

The three of them had not yet comprehended any laws.

Yet, today they witnessed a Minor Golden Core who had!

They were truly jealous now!

They had never considered Xie Jiuniang to be merely for show. It was the activation of the Time Leaf that was too deceptive.

Before long, the silver light faded away.

Using the method they had used to search for the Gongsun Family’s land, combined with time retrospection and the sea chart on the wooden token, the four arrived at a foggy sea half a month later.

A dense mist lingered year-round on the sea surface, rarely visited by people. Guided by the wooden token, the four entered the foggy sea. Before them lay a vast expanse of white fog. After several days of journeying, they finally saw a very large island.

It was the largest island they had encountered along the way.

Mountain ranges rose and fell on the island, lush and verdant, rich with spiritual energy. Among them were towering peaks, wrapped in immortal mists.

It was like a paradise from legends.

"It’s the island from Second Master Ao’s childhood memories..." Xie Jiuniang confirmed that they had not made a mistake in their location.

The three Divinity Transformation cultivators had yet to be reminded.

Jian Lingyan, however, did remind them, "Master, near the island’s seabed, there are sea beasts."

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Are they the sea beasts that guard the island?"

"Most likely," Jian Lingyan answered. Jian Lingyan had noticed that these sea beasts swam along the ocean floor in a very regular pattern. "We have already entered the range of the sea beasts’ patrol, it’s just that for the moment, they haven’t discovered us."

Three were Divinity Transformation cultivators, and one was a Child of Destiny.

Ordinary sea beasts would find it very difficult to detect their presence.

The four of them wore masks and cloaks and utilized the Hiding Jade Talisman unique to Xie Jiuniang. Any traps or barriers set up outside the island could not stop them, and thus they moved as if they were entering unclaimed territory.

There were both hidden and visible treasures on the island.

Both were found by Jian Lingyan; Xie Jiuniang inquired, "Are there spirit veins on the island?"

"There is one large spirit vein and a spiritual stone mine," Jian Lingyan replied. In fact, Jian Lingyan had discovered not just the spiritual stone mine on the island but also several under the sea along their way.

But these veins were too deep to mine easily.

Excitedly flying around, Jian Lingyan asked, "Master, shall we follow the old rules?"

Xie Jiuniang was taken aback, "What old rules?"

She instantly thought of the Gongsun Family and couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

"Alright, as long as you can get it," Xie Jiuniang agreed.

This excited Broken Sword so much that it somersaulted repeatedly, spinning so fast that it made Xie Jiuniang’s head spin, with a face full of black lines.

The three Divinity Transformation cultivators guessed that the person and sword before them were communicating.

As to how exactly to proceed, they did not act on their own initiative, but waited for Xie Jiuniang’s instructions. After all, it had been agreed before they set off that they would follow her command completely.

Soon, they had a clear understanding of the situation on the island.

There were over a dozen Nascent Souls and dozens of Golden Cores.

Besides, there was a Contracted Beast in the early stage of Divinity Transformation, a gigantic Sea Whale. This Sea Whale was deep in slumber under the sea, beneath the island.

The four set foot on the island without disturbing it in the slightest.

At the moment, it seemed the Ao Family was not as formidable as the Gongsun Family; at least the Gongsun Family had a Demon Cultivator at the peak of Divinity Transformation, which made Xie Jiuniang quite wary. If not for the fortuitous event of the Great Sun Golden Flame, she would have only been able to stir up some trouble covertly at best.

"Silly master, with the strength of three Divinity Transformation cultivators, it would be enough to raid the Ao Family by force right now," Jian Lingyan teased her for dawdling.

However, Xie Jiuniang preferred not to rush, "Everything must be done with utmost caution."

"Shouldn’t it be a quick battle to settle this quickly? The longer we delay, the more troublesome it will be if the Ao Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivators return," Jian Lingyan commented.

"You thought I hadn’t considered that? The injuries on the three Divinity Transformations have been healed, but after being sick for such a long time, their combat effectiveness will definitely be compromised. Have you not heard the saying that even ants can bite an elephant to death, or are you unaware of the adage ’it’s not the ten thousand I fear, but the unforeseen one’..."

Xie Jiuniang always had a way to convince Jian Lingyan.

After getting a clear picture of the island’s layout and the whereabouts of each Nascent Soul, as well as the distribution of personnel on the island, it must be said that this family was far dirtier than the Gongsun Family.

There were quite a few Evil Cultivators.

Evil Cultivators who presented themselves as paragons of virtue.

There was a valley on the island with buildings that appeared antique and quaint from the outside, almost like a paradise on earth, but after scanning with Divine Sense, one would discover—

What a hellish paradise of humans!

It was simply a living hell!

Many Cultivators of outstanding appearance, both male and female, were imprisoned here for the Ao Family’s men and women to vent their desires, and even to dual cultivate and increase their cultivation bases.

Under the cliff behind the valley lay piles upon piles of white bones.

After Xie Jiuniang had investigated the matter, she furrowed her elegant brows.

The three Divinity Transformations were equally shocked.

The reputation of the Ao Family in the Southeast Sea Region was still moderately decent, not exceedingly good, but quite respectable. The occasional scandals caused by some of their profligate young members were always promptly covered up.

Beneath the fame, there was boundless evil.

"This Ao Family..." Xuan Ye’s face was cold.

Xuan Qing continued, "Does not deserve to exist."

Xie Jiuniang turned to look at the two.

The duo appeared briefly stunned, then awkwardly said, "We’ll follow your lead."

"Ha, the two seniors are overthinking it; my thoughts align perfectly with yours," Xie Jiuniang chuckled as she rummaged and pulled out a Shadow Stone, handing one to each person, "Come on, this matter shouldn’t just be known by us. We need to let everyone in the Cultivation World know that the people of the Ao Family are not good, and exterminating them would be satisfying to everyone."

Yan Lao was the first to take it, "Little Boss, this idea is brilliant."

Xuan Qing and Xuan Ye accepted their stones.

Thus, the first task for the three of them was to record all the hidden evidence of the Ao Family’s crimes with the Shadow Stones and preserve it.

Once everything was recorded, they still did not take action.

Xie Jiuniang acted alone, sitting atop a Broken Sword, with a Little Fatty appearing at her side.

She scattered medicine at the water source, doing so for three consecutive days.

The trio found no use for their martial skills.

Initially, when they followed, they assumed there would be a fierce battle. But when chaos began to erupt within the Ao Family, they truly realized the extent of Xie Jiuniang’s capacity for disruption.

What shocked them the most was her Face-changing Technique.

One person, one sword, plus a Little Fatty, emptied the Ao Family’s two treasuries, one overt and one covert, and then stripped three Spiritual Medicine Gardens of everything.

Just as they were thinking of uprooting a Thousand-Year-Old Tea Tree—

"Who dares to trespass in the tea garden?!" an aged voice bellowed furiously.

Xie Jiuniang, using the Broken Sword to dig up the tea tree, worked even faster, "Little Fatty, hurry up. If I’m not mistaken, this is an Enlightenment Tea Tree."

"I, quickly."

"Yes, hurry up!"

The two, one big and one small, were buried in the task of digging up the tree.

The Nascent Soul Elder guarding the tea tree swept the area with his Divine Sense, and upon seeing that someone was indeed stealing the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he couldn’t just let that happen. Just as he was about to rush over, he suddenly encountered interference from the Divinity Transformations.

It goes without saying what the outcome would be when three Divinity Transformations decide to kill a Nascent Soul whose lifespan was nearing its end.

The Nascent Soul was killed in the blink of an eye.

But his loud shout had already exposed that outsiders had infiltrated the island!
