Chapter 426: Chapter 425: Life Should Have Aspirations

Xie Jiuniang sighed again and said, "Such a narrow mind, a few hard truths can anger them into becoming devils. Their mental fortitude is so weak, it’s not even comparable to my little Golden Core."

Crack.

She took another bite of the Spirit Fruit.

However, to those in the throes of rage, her words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Especially since Xie Jiuniang had deliberately used her Spiritual Power to ensure her words were heard loud and clear, which accelerated the demonic transformation of the furious person. His Nascent Soul did not allow for the transformation to complete, as a hand swiftly struck the back of the neck of the Gongsun Family’s Nascent Soul.

The person slumped into unconsciousness.

The Mo Family’s Nascent Soul looked sharply at Xie Jiuniang, grinding his teeth and said, "Shut your mouth."

"What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong? Look at me, then compare me to the one you’ve just knocked out." Xie Jiuniang sat up straight, tossing away the fruit core, and smoothed out her clothes and sleeves, "I faced the pursuit and encirclement of four Divinity Transformations and thirteen Nascent Souls on my own, yet I managed to keep my composure and even held a conversation with you all. If you look back at him... there’s no need for me to say more, it’s all the hard truth."

She paused, then adopted a provocative and smug demeanor, "Ah, I know," she said with a sense of superiority. "The truth often hurts the most."

"You know bullshit!" The Mo Family’s Nascent Soul exploded with rage and struck the barrier with his sword.

Xie Jiuniang gave him a sidelong glance and admitted candidly, "I only know about you, truly."

Upon hearing this, the Mo Family’s Nascent Soul was taken aback, and then his sword-wielding hand nearly trembled.

Was she insulting him by saying he was nothing but air?

Seeing that another Nascent Soul was about to lose his temper, those behind hurriedly took the Mo Family’s Nascent Soul and the unconscious one away.

Trying to get as far away from Xie Jiuniang as possible.

Because she really was a bit wicked, with just a few sentences causing one Nascent Soul after another to become mentally unstable.

Xie Jiuniang reached out as if to ask them to stay, "Why are you taking them away? I still have a few hard truths left unsaid. You families are so deeply sinful, there’s no future for you in cultivating immortality, no matter how hard you try you can’t ascend. You might as well cultivate as devils; after all, it fits perfectly with your nature since you are rotten to the core."

Nascent Souls were considered amongst the strong.

Since becoming Nascent Souls, they had never faced such direct mockery.

As infuriated as they were, all they could do was to bear it.

High above, four Divinity Transformations looked at each other, puzzled, then set up a Spiritual Power Barrier to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"What should we do now?" Shuxing was the first to speak, "I think the girl below is deceiving us. She must be rid of the Lethal Poison by now; we’ve been attacking the formation for so long without any sign of the poison."

"Then why didn’t she flee when she had the chance before?"

"Could she have had only one Teleportation Talisman?"

"With an eighth-rank Array Plate in her possession, would she lack high-level Teleportation Talismans? Don’t forget, she’s been to the Gongsun Family and the Ao Family. Most of their treasures are probably on her..." said the Divinity Transformation with a complicated look in his eye.

Hearing this, the three others remained silent.

They had agreed to come to help, not without their own motives, they were after the treasures on Xie Jiuniang’s person.

Who didn’t know she must have precious items on her?

It was even rumored that she might possess a great opportunity for ascension...

The group was just finalizing their plan to jointly attack Xie Jiuniang’s formation below—they were at a safe distance, so they weren’t afraid even if there was Lethal Poison.

But just as they were about to cast their techniques, with the incantation half completed, Xie Jiuniang within the formation disappeared.

"Where did she go?" Shuxing asked in surprise.

Another doubted, "Could it be..."

This reminded them of Louhuang’s disappearance and the presence of the Demonic Beast.

What kind of powerful being could stealthily take someone away right before their eyes?

Such a terror!

The Nascent Souls outside the formation were dumbfounded as well; the person simply vanished right under their watch, along with the Puppet and the chest of Top Grade Spiritual Stones.

The four Divinity Transformations descended to the ground. After repeatedly scanning with their Divine Sense and finding nothing amiss, they were certain she had not used a Teleportation Talisman to escape, which forced them to suspect that the key was within the formation itself.

"We must break the formation first," one of the Divinity Transformations reminded.

Without Xie Jiuniang continuing to add Spiritual Stones and with Divinity Transformations taking action, the Array Plate’s Spiritual Stones were quickly depleted.

When the last Spirit Stone was used up, the Formation’s array barrier dissipated, and a dense black smoke swept in all directions.

A group of people quickly retreated.

Soon they discovered that the poisonous smog was just ordinary poison; indeed, as Xie Jiuniang previously mentioned, it could be cured with a Detoxification Pill, or even without it, with their formidable strength, they could directly force it out of their bodies using their Spiritual Power.

So, had Xie Jiuniang been bluffing all along?

Had they all been fooled?

So their faces all turned dark at once.

Humiliating!

Utterly humiliating!

After checking, they found at the edge of the area once protected by the array barrier only simple mechanical traps containing large amounts of poisonous smog, which would emit small amounts when the barrier was disturbed.

It was just enough to bluff them.

A few techniques, and they swept the surrounding poisonous smog into the high sky, then dispersed it.

Only then did everyone’s Divine Sense sweep back and forth, nearly excavating three feet into the ground within the area of the former grand formation, yet still finding nothing unusual.

Shuxing walked to the center.

A gesture of Telekinesis, and he picked up the Array Plate that had been left on the ground.

A Divinity Transformation expert glanced at it and said, "Strange, why does this eighth-grade Array Plate bear the mark of the Mo Family from Medical Immortal Valley?"

"Let me see." Before the Mo Family’s Nascent Soul could come over, the others also got attracted.

It had been said that the Mo Family had lost a treasure, could it also have been stolen by her?

The four Divinity Transformation experts felt their hearts burning, as long as they could find Xie Jiuniang...

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!

The previously intact eighth-grade Array Plate suddenly exploded, and with the explosion, a cloud of poisonous mist quickly spread.

"It’s Lethal Poison!"

The Mo Family’s Nascent Soul was the first to shout out in warning, then quickly fled far away.

The reaction of the others was unanimous.

In secret, the sinister Wuning, who had been following from a distance and had watched the entire scene, broke out into a cold sweat.

Luckily, fortunately!

He was thankful that he had fled quickly and had not gotten involved!

Considering the situation, at least half of Shuxing’s group must have fallen victim!

Wuning took delight in the misfortune.

Xie Jiuniang, who was hiding in the Small Tortoise Shell, wasn’t quite satisfied though, as her recent triggering of the eighth-grade Array Plate explosion had been costly, yet it hadn’t caught everyone in one fell swoop.

Two Divinity Transformation experts had been too vigilant and had not been affected. Also, five Nascent Souls, standing at a greater distance, noticed the appearance of the Lethal Poison in time and managed to dodge in time, narrowly escaping a disaster.

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan said speechlessly, "You’ve taken out two Divinity Transformation experts and eight Nascent Souls in one fell swoop, yet you’re still not satisfied? How about just ascending to heaven then?"

"One must have aspirations in life; a mere sword like you wouldn’t understand," Xie Jiuniang replied, continuing to focus on the outside. Those who were affected were desperately trying to drive the Lethal Poison out of their bodies.

When they realized it was futile, their faces turned ashen.

Xie Jiuniang secretly reveled in this.

That’ll teach them to plot against me!

May they not die easily!

She saw a line of people hurriedly leaving.

The direction of those poisoned was consistent; they were all heading to the Medical Immortal Valley.

Among them, the Mo Family’s Nascent Soul felt the most despair.

Being one of the executives of Medical Immortal Valley, he knew better than anyone present the frustrating difficulty of this poison.

His heart was truly filled with despair...
