Chapter 428: Chapter 427: It’s Him Who Deserves to Die, It’s Him Who Is Unworthy

"Cough cough, fellow Daoist, hold on a moment. The incident just now was all a misunderstanding, this seat did not intend to ambush you, I merely wanted to say hello, yes, just to say hello."

In the distance, Wuning—the old devil—was nearly bursting with rage!

Another trump card destroyed.

Who would have known she had a Pure World Lotus on her, exactly countering his sinister lethality.

Xie Jiuniang sneered, "You say it’s a misunderstanding and that’s it, you think I would believe you?"

"It’s the truth, this seat does not resort to ambushes when taking action." Wuning—full of imposing pressure—emitted a strong presence, seemingly to prove something, but was actually using it to test Xie Jiuniang.

Under the pressure of the Divinity Transformation, Xie Jiuniang’s expression remained unchanged.

Which left Wuning’s eager heart feeling cold and desolate.

It was like a wicked wolf encountering a lone little lamb.

It surely could devour it in one bite, yet worried about potential dangers, hence the repeated probes.

The outcomes were not what the wolf wanted to see, but he could not bear to just walk away. Not to mention the space-carrying Magic Treasure, the Pure World Lotus alone was tantalizing, hard to part with.

All of it was a marvel of the world!

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan said indignantly, "He’s up to no good, master, you must be wary of him."

"I know." Xie Jiuniang was pondering which method to use to deal with the old devil. Thinking of taking him on alone was as good as a fantasy.

Wuning, with a malicious smile, said, "My friend, this seat has offended you earlier, how about I give you some news as an apology?"

"What news?"

"It’s about what happened four days ago; your Master, Lord Qiansha, arrived in time, couldn’t find you, and ended up fighting with Shuxing and others who were about to leave, slaughtering five Nascent Souls."

"Wow! Our Master is so powerful."

Before Xie Jiuniang could say anything, Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan spoke up first.

Before that day’s space sealing, Xie Jiuniang had crushed Master Qiansha’s Jade Token. Given Master Qiansha’s distant location at the time, it took a while to arrive. According to Wuning, it seemed that those people encountered Master Qiansha midway through their departure.

The number of people slain was exactly five.

These were precisely the Nascent Souls that were not tainted with lethal poison.

This was quite intriguing.

Xie Jiuniang suspected her master had done it on purpose.

Suddenly, almost at the same time,

Wuning reached out to grab Xie Jiuniang, while the Exquisite Soul Needle silently targeted Wuning’s Spiritual Soul.

"Time, stop!"

Xie Jiuniang immediately used her Divine Ability.

With his Spiritual Soul severely pained and paralyzed for a moment, Wuning could only watch as Xie Jiuniang threw an Explosive Talisman at him and then activated a Miles Teleportation Talisman to escape in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The roaring noise, the instigator couldn’t hear anymore.

Wuning suffered a significant loss.

By the time he came to his senses, Xie Jiuniang had already escaped without a trace.

With the activation of the Miles Teleportation Talisman, one could only say she was now thousands of miles away—beyond the reach of an average Divinity Transformation’s Divine Sense.

Brushing off the dust from his body, he spat out the sand from his mouth.

Just as Wuning had caught his breath, a great danger surged from behind. At once, he formed a shield behind him and teleported away from his original position. Upon steady gaze, it was none other than Qiansha.

Frightened, he immediately turned to flee!

"Wuning, why run? We haven’t seen each other in a long time, why not come over for a chat?" Lord Qiansha’s cold voice reached him.

As Wuning fled, he called out loudly, "Lord Qiansha, your disciple used a Miles Teleportation Talisman to leave, it has nothing to do with me."

"If it wasn’t for you, would she have resorted to using a Miles Teleportation Talisman?"

"It’s not true!"

It was he who deserved to die, he who wasn’t worthy, who should not have harbored a heart of greed.

If he could be lucky enough to survive today, he must immediately return to Chaos City, never to leave again!

The Cultivation World was truly too terrifying.

Even an old-time Demon Cultivator couldn’t withstand it!

The glory of the past had long become clouds on the horizon; now, he couldn’t even deal with a Golden Core, having suffered secret losses over and over again. Yet, he was too embarrassed to speak of it, truly too shameful.

The departing Xie Jiuniang still had no idea.

Her series of life-saving maneuvers had accidentally frightened an old devil to the core.

Now she was trying to figure out her location.

The surroundings were very unfamiliar; what greeted her eyes was desolation, not a single green plant in sight, making it very difficult to discern direction.

A place neither visited in her past life nor this one.

Xie Jiuniang let Raoyang and the others out.

The six of them huddled together to study the map.

Just relying on this desolate realm, unfamiliar geographical environment, and the spiritual energy that was so thin it was almost non-existent, even after all of them had scoured through the maps they had, they still came up with nothing.

"Damn thing, do you know where this is?" Xie Jiuniang quietly asked the Sword Spirit.

Jian Lingyan was also at a loss this time, "How would I know? It’s not on the map."

Xie Jiuniang asked Raoyang, "The spiritual energy here is so sparse, could this be the Mortal Realm?"

"No, I’ve been to the Mortal Realm." Raoyang denied.

"That’s right, the Mortal Realm just has sparse spiritual energy, but it’s also lush and green, brimming with vitality everywhere. That’s not the case here." The other four who had been to the Mortal Realm also denied in agreement.

Xie Jiuniang said helplessly, "This couldn’t possibly be a perilous place, could it?"

The speaker meant no harm, but the listeners took it to heart.

At the same time, Raoyang and the others fell silent, then looked at each other.

Could they really be so unlucky?

Could it really be?

Xie Jiuniang noticed their expressions and her heart also skipped a beat, "Could it really be true?"

"I hope not." Raoyang and the others still had unhealed injuries and did not wish to encounter danger again, "It’s just that your mention of a perilous place reminded me of a plain within the Dragon Gate Secret Realm, where it’s easy to lose your way and is also a dangerous area. It’s somewhat similar to this place..."

Xie Jiuniang had yet to comment when the other four nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Their thoughts were the same as Raoyang’s.

Seeing everyone’s solemn demeanors, Xie Jiuniang was rather speechless, "Let’s not scare ourselves. This place might just be some wilderness with no real danger. Keep in mind that Demonic Beasts choose their habitats too; there’s no spiritual energy here, no food to eat."

"Junior sister makes a lot of sense; Demonic Beasts can’t just feed on rocks."

They decided to scout ahead, randomly picking a direction to walk.

Aside from two people who were missing arms and legs, which made movement a bit inconvenient, everyone else was still relatively fine, and later Xie Jiuniang sold two Puppet Horses to them at a low price.

Now they had their means of transportation.

Only when the sky began to darken did the six people stop.

They set up the Law House on the spot and arranged a Formation.

Raoyang began to heal his injuries. In this unfamiliar environment, it was especially important to heal properly to deal with various emergencies that might arise.

Xie Jiuniang sat motionless on the flying eaves of the Law House, almost blending into the night.

The environment seemed quite normal at a glance; the moon was bright, and stars were sparse, mountains and rocks were hazy. But upon closer inspection, one would notice that it was eerily quiet, not even a bird’s chirp or an insect’s buzz could be heard.

On the contrary, it was below ground, from where intermittent, subtle sounds were emanating...
