Chapter 332 - 331: Eating Melons with a Divinity Transformation

Chapter 332: Chapter 331: Eating Melons with a Divinity Transformation

At this moment, on Zhengyang Peak.

The one everyone thought was more likely doomed than not was sitting in the cave, munching on a Spirit Fruit while listening to Jian Lingyan’s report.

Xie Jiuniang took a big bite of a Spirit Fruit and said, "Does this count as a narrow escape from death for this old lady?"

"That counts for shit," Jian Lingyan retorted. "Everything was already planned out, where’s the narrow escape from death in that?"

"But I still experienced it."

Xie Jiuniang spat out the fruit core and tossed it aside, "If I had even slightly misjudged the timing then, I would have been a goner, too."

"Sure, sure, whatever you say."

The naturally timid and death-fearing dog owner, who got a life-and-death challenge, would have been strange not to have some foresight before going on stage.

If she couldn’t uncover all the secrets in one go, she’d just have to do it another time.

And after several attempts, she had thoroughly figured out the scheming person behind the scenes and had turned the tables on them in the most logical progression.

This was an expected outcome.

What Xie Jiuniang hadn’t anticipated, however, was that when she secretly contacted Chaoruo, he would notify Master Chaoyan.

So, among the nine mysterious Divinity Transformation cultivators, one of them was Chaoyan.

The Tianxu Sect has nine hidden Divinity Transformation cultivators.

Pulang is currently in Yunmu City.

To call out the eight people from the Sect’s Secret Ground, Xie Jiuniang had offered some good stuff. Only this time, the reward wasn’t much, just one pound of top-grade Spiritual Liquid for each person.

Take as much reward as the work you’re doing.

As for why Xie Jiuniang was in her cave...

The figure that rushed toward Lin Ba wasn’t Xie Jiuniang herself at all, but a Puppet substitute she had refined and prepared in advance. Meanwhile, in the cave on Zhengyang Peak, she had laid down a Locating Talisman ahead of time.

Once the Teleportation Talisman was activated, she was teleported back to Zhengyang Peak.

Xie Jiuniang emerged from the cave and looked towards the back mountain, "Little Jianjian, can we go take a look?"

"Aren’t you afraid of getting killed by the shockwaves?"

Is it so safe to spectate the battle of Divinity Transformation powerhouses?

Xie Jiuniang threw out Broken Sword, lightly rising into the air, "Don’t dawdle, fly there quickly. I won’t get close; I just want to watch from afar."

"I think you’re up to no good," Jian Lingyan reasonably guessed, the loli voice unexpectedly excited.

Xie Jiuniang lightly tapped her foot on Broken Sword, urging, "Hurry up, hurry up. If we miss out, you’re in trouble with me."

"Fine, fine."

Whoosh!

Broken Sword flew past.

As fast as a shooting star.

Xie Jiuniang’s hair was blown messy, and in her hurry, she formed a Spiritual Force Shield to protect herself.

Such a blatant way to travel.

Ordinary disciples might not notice her.

But the powerful figures left by the Sect to deal with the aftermath spotted her immediately.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "Is that the Little Profiteer?"

"Is that Chaoyan’s disciple? She’s not dead?!"

"She survived! How did she dodge that explosion? Not a single injury, she’s hopping around lively."

"She’s heading toward the back mountain?"

A Nascent Soul cultivator said in astonishment, then added, "Shouldn’t someone stop her? There’s a big battle happening in the back mountain."

"No need, the Sect Master is there."

No one stopped Xie Jiuniang, so her flight was very smooth, but her appearance was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, causing huge ripples.

The Sound Transmission Talismans around her flew frequently, especially active.

Those who had thought she died a short time ago were taken aback. Some rejoiced and were happy, some ground their teeth in anger, some felt regret, and so on. People of all sorts of thoughts existed.

Xie Si’niang and company were crying tears of joy, "Xiaojiu is not dead, wuuu, she’s not dead!"

"Yes, Xiaojiu is fine!" Xie Xu’s heart, which had been in his throat, also settled down.

Xuanyuan You smiled like an idiot with his teeth bared, with Song Baobao by his side.

"Song the idiot, let’s go find the Little Profiteer," Xuanyuan You also wanted to head to the back mountain on his flying sword.

Song Baobao grabbed him firmly, "Who are you calling a fool?"

"You, the Little Profiteer always calls you that," Xuanyuan You said fearlessly.

Song Baobao fumed, "You’re the fool, I am Song Baobao!"

"Now is not the time to discuss this, let’s go find the Little Profiteer. Following him, we will definitely encounter fun things. Do you want to go?"

Xuanyuan You didn’t delay any further and took off on his sword.

Song Baobao huffed angrily and threw out his flying device to follow.

Their speed was far slower than Xie Jiu’s; catching up to her would be difficult.

Driven by Xie Jiu’s urge, the Broken Sword exerted all its strength, flying extremely fast. In just a short while, half a quarter-hour, they reached the back mountain of the Sect.

From afar, they saw flickering lights over a certain area of the mountain.

If one wasn’t paying attention, they might think it was a natural phenomenon, but a closer look would reveal it was a battle between powerful beings in the sky, and a very fierce one at that, apparent from the sword lights visible from time to time.

"There are two places where fighting is happening," Xie Jiu observed in the direction of the battles.

Jian Lingyan supplemented, "Three people are ganging up on one, and six people are attacking two others."

"According to you, are three Divinity Transformation cultivators ganging up on Nangong Jun, and six Divinity Transformation cultivators besieging two from the Su Family?" Xie Jiu looked in that direction with an inscrutable expression.

She was too weak to take action herself.

And this situation was due to the adversary’s desire to strangle her growth in its early stages.

Xie Jiu felt fortunate about a decision she had made years ago; to become strong, she would diligently learn anything she could, even if many said it was just an external asset.

In the Cultivation World, to become stronger, it was best to enhance one’s own abilities primarily.

But her situation was special—her enemies were too powerful and numerous.

The other party wouldn’t wait for her to grow.

Only with the help of various external objects and forces did she stand a chance to contend with those powers.

Xie Jiu touched the Hiding Jade Talisman hanging by her waist, concealing her breath, and gradually hiding herself, then she applied a Hiding Talisman to the Broken Sword before stealthily arriving behind several external Sect Divinity Transformation powerhouses.

Among them was Lord Xiaoyuan.

Several Divinity Transformation powerhouses were casually spectating the battle like onlookers enjoying a street performance.

Xie Jiu quietly joined them, silently watching the exciting fight unfold before her. The so-called aftershocks were non-existent, as they were all contained by the Sect’s Divinity Transformation cultivators sealing the space.

Standing on the outside, one could clearly see what was happening inside.

In reality, it was akin to two separate spaces.

Even with the pressure from Divinity Transformation cultivators, there was no need to worry; these powerhouses would block everything, making this the safest place to watch the fight.

At that moment, a Divinity Transformation cultivator said, "Nangong Jun is about to be defeated."

"To hold out this long is also his skill. Don’t forget, he just detonated a Semi-Immortal Artifact not long ago." Another Divinity Transformation cultivator spoke mockingly, "Paying such a heavy price just to kill a disciple of the Tianxu Sect, is it worth it?"

"It’s his destiny."

"That’s why they say, one should never do unethical deeds."

"I don’t believe you haven’t done any; remember when you peeped at that Immortal bathing back then—"

"Cough cough, are you asking for death? Do you want to fight?"

This was the prelude to a brawl.

The other Divinity Transformation cultivators laughed heartily and added fuel to the flames.

Xie Jiu listened with inward amusement, almost blurting out a question about which unfortunate Immortal had been spied on.

A Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Wuji Sect suddenly said, "What do you think about these nine Divinity Transformation cultivators? Could they be from the Tianxu Sect?"

"We’re talking about nine Divinity Transformation, not one or two."

Someone ambiguously asked, "After watching so long, can you tell who they are by their techniques?"

"Caught a glimpse, but it’s hard to say," Lord Xiaoyuan replied.

Right then, a clear, young girl’s voice piped up, "I also caught a glimpse. These people are definitely from our Sect, after all, which Great Sect doesn’t have some hidden powerhouses?"

Several Divinity Transformation cultivators turned in unison to look at the source of the voice.

They were immediately taken aback.

Unbeknownst to them, a little girl had appeared at their side.

They were Divinity Transformation cultivators, suspended in mid-air, hovering high above.

And her?

She was sitting leisurely on a Broken Sword, munching on a Spirit Fruit, her large eyes clear and innocent as she looked at them.
