Chapter 360: Chapter 359 This move is not bad

Nangong Dou was slapped to death.

A Spiritual Soul of Divinity Transformation flew out, the Time Leaf was eager to move again, but Xie Jiuniang suppressed it firmly, not allowing it to fly out.

What kind of situation was this?

She did not want to snatch food from the mouth of a tiger and become the target of all.

Lord Qiansha raised his hand and imprisoned Nangong Dou’s Spiritual Soul.

"Qiansha! Are you seeking personal revenge under the guise of justice?" Nangong Dou’s Spiritual Soul yelled.

Qiansha disdainfully said, "Thinking that death could help you escape punishment? Dream on. Whatever you deserve, not even as a soul can you get away."

He sealed Nangong Dou’s Spiritual Soul and put away his body.

This incident caused other battlegrounds to calm down one after another, and none of the few Divinity Transformation companions with Nangong Dou even thought about escaping recklessly.

That was because an aura had already locked onto them.

If they dared to flee, the fate that befell Nangong Dou would become their own.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes swept over their faces as she transmitted her voice, "Master, are any of these Divinity Transformation beings from the seven major families?"

"No."

Chaoyan responded, then upon reflection added, "At least not openly."

Xie Jiuniang understood the last sentence.

Possibly, there were people from the seven major families secretly among them.

In the end, these people were taken away by Lord Qiansha.

Xie Jiuniang felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart, her eyes unusually bright.

"Disciple, what are you thinking about?" Chaoyan noticed his little disciple’s unusual behavior.

Xie Jiuniang steadied her spirit, trying to appear composed, "Grandmaster is too powerful. I was thinking that in the future, I also want to become a person like Grandmaster."

"Hahaha..."

Chaoyan pressed his hand on her head and laughed aloud, "Before becoming a person like your Grandmaster, you must first become like your Master."

Lord Chongzhen was surprised, "Is this how you and your disciple usually get along? Your relationship is really good."

Chaoyan smiled faintly, "Isn’t this how it is for everyone?"

Lord Chongzhen could not help but recall how he usually interacted with his disciple—formal and rigid, far from affectionate, and hardly ever smiling, truly different.

In the Cultivation World, emotions are indifferent, and even feelings towards one’s parents may not necessarily be affectionate.

Lord Chongzhen excused himself to leave.

After he left, a voice transmission from Lord Qiansha came, "You two hurry back to the Sect; do not wander outside if there’s no need."

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

The two disciples almost responded in unison.

After a long time without hearing Qiansha’s voice again, had he truly left?

Chaoyan threw out a Flying Boat, flew onto it first, with Xie Jiuniang and Pulang following immediately.

The three headed towards the Sect.

Along the way, they encountered no ambushes.

Pulang hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative, "Should I go look for Xie Shen and the others first?"

Xie Jiuniang’s mind wavered slightly.

She was not unconcerned about her parents.

But her current situation was not good, seeking them out would only bring danger to them.

It was better for Pulang to go.

Seeing that his disciple did not speak, Chaoyan decided for her, "Then, we will trouble Elder Brother Pulang. We are not quite convenient to look for others now. Just now, my Master also instructed us to return to the Sect."

Xie Jiuniang nodded, "I appreciate your trouble, Elder Pulang."

"This is what I should do," Pulang agreed readily.

Xie Jiuniang pulled Little Fatty out from the Turtle Shell Space, promised to build him a palace once they returned to the Sect, and allowed Pulang to go into the treasure vault once more.

What Pulang got this time, he did not say.

But, he came out in an extremely good mood.

After Pulang left, Chaoyan put away the Flying Boat and rushed on their way using the Instant Teleportation Technique.

Passing by a city, they lingered there for half a day.

The gossip about the seven major aristocratic families was plentiful, but the biggest scandal was still the Divinity Transformation Bijie of the Mo Family, who led nine other Divinity Transformations in a stealth attack on a Tianxu Sect disciple. The incident was captured on a Shadow Stone, leaving no room for quibbling.

The reputation of the Mo Family from Medical Immortal Valley plummeted overnight.

The latest news was that a direct branch of the Mo Family had turned against Bijie and others, leaving the Medical Immortal Valley and disappearing without a trace.

"Disciple, that was an impressive move," Chaoyan praised.

Xie Jiuniang fought to suppress a smile, but it still crept onto her face, "It was nothing. I just made a suggestion; the mastermind behind it all was Shibo."

Bijie and others’ attack on the small palace was recorded by Yan Lao and others using a Shadow Stone.

The footage that circulated outside was a brief clip of ten Divinity Transformations suddenly appearing and attacking the small palace in unison, clearly showing the acts and faces of the ten Divinity Transformations.

The matter of the lethal poison was conveniently omitted.

What was left was the footage of ten shameless Divinity Transformations stealthily attacking a disciple of the Tianxu Sect.

Many people in the Eastern Region knew that True Person Yuan Xi of the Tianxu Sect had a small palace, a gift from her master.

Over the years, the small palace had become her symbol.

Chaoruo, from behind the scenes, had listed the crimes of certain individuals, also needing the Shadow Stone as evidence.

After hearing this, Chaoyan and Xie Jiuniang did not rest any further and rushed back to the Sect without stopping.

The hidden Divinity Transformations from earlier had all vanished without a trace.

Xie Jiuniang had foreseen this several times but had not seen any of the previous Divinity Transformations until they arrived at the gates of Tianxu Sect’s mountain, where she remained somewhat dazed, "Shizun, has my checkmate been broken?"

"It’s broken, yet it’s not," he replied.

"That’s like saying nothing at all."

"What your master means is that the Divinity Transformations won’t show themselves for the short term, whether they’re from the seven great families or from our Sect. But those powers consist of more than just Divinity Transformations. With your Golden Core cultivation base, facing a Nascent Soul would be enough to give you a headache. It’s really strange, they deployed Divinity Transformations right from the start..."

It was like using a cleaver to kill a chicken.

But the problem was, even with a cleaver, they couldn’t kill the chicken.

Chaoyan scooped up his disciple in one swoop and teleported away, reappearing in the plaza in front of the Main Peak’s great hall.

Chaoruo happened to be at the Main Peak.

Chaoyan immediately helped himself to Chaoruo’s Spiritual Tea, pouring a cup for his disciple as well, and exclaimed, "Shixiong, I almost couldn’t make it back this time."

"How so?" Chaoruo’s eyelid twitched.

Just as Chaoyan was about to speak, Chaoruo raised his hand to stop him, "Don’t say it, let your disciple speak."

Chaoyan’s mouth twitched, "Shixiong, don’t you trust me?"

"It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just want Yuan Xi to speak first," Chaoruo gestured to Xie Jiuniang to speak.

Xie Jiuniang, who was discreetly enjoying her tea, said, "Shibo, my Shizun isn’t wrong. We were chased by Nangong Dou. We weren’t seeing any support for a long time. That Nangong Dou had realized some rule of principle, quite formidable... with a raise of his hand, a flash of golden light..."

This confirmation was the proof.

Both master and disciple were of the same disposition.

Left without temper, Chaoruo said, "According to the news I received, it was Nangong Dou and his men who were searching for you, and they couldn’t find you all this time."

"Yes, luckily the place we hid was secretive..." Chaoyan said mockingly.

"I didn’t consider thoroughly, passing the message to the borders took some time, and it took a few days for the borders to react, inevitably causing some delay. As your Shixiong, I also believed that the Shidi had sufficient self-protection ability."

"Should I thank Shixiong for his trust?"

"Stop with the sarcasm, just say what you want openly," Chaoruo said helplessly.

He was familiar with these tactics.

Chaoyan stretched out three fingers to him.

Chaoruo shook his head.

Three fingers changed to two.

Chaoruo still shook his head, "I can try to get ten percent. There were casualties going to the Northern Region."

Chaoyan was not entirely satisfied.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know what riddle they were playing and just listened quietly.

Later, Chaoruo shifted the topic to the outcome of the border’s handling. The punishment for those families was not light, with the Nangong Family even forced to donate half of their wealth to the border as reserves for post-war supplies.

In addition, the suspected Divinity Transformations were all forced to "seclude themselves for a hundred years."

This meant they were not allowed to leave seclusion for a hundred years.

For a short time, it would be very difficult to see those families’ Divinity Transformations again.
