Chapter 435: Chapter 434: Master, do not seek revenge for me

Just now, Xie Jiuniang could only flee into the Small Tortoise Shell; entering her Exclusive Space was something outsiders could not prevent. And the Small Tortoise Shell was always concealed, never vanished.

The moment the other party got hold of the Small Tortoise Shell, Xie Jiuniang knew the situation outside and had mentally prepared herself.

The myriad of methods she had learned over the past thirty years were of no use in the face of the absolute power of a Divinity Transformation expert. Currently, there was almost nothing Xie Jiuniang possessed that could threaten the life of a Divinity Transformation being.

"Little Fatty, let the Demon Emperor take refuge in your treasury for a while," Xie Jiuniang said to the Little Fatty.

The Little Fatty obediently nodded and opened the entrance to the treasury.

At that time, the Demon Emperor was riddled with wounds, and Xie Jiuniang personally escorted him into the treasury, settling him in the main hall with the statue of the Little Fatty.

To prevent outsiders from disturbing the Demon Emperor, Xie Jiuniang took out a high-level Array Plate to protect him.

The Demon Emperor forcibly spat out half a drop of his essence blood and suspended it in front of Xie Jiuniang, "Take it and seal it inside your body, it may save your life at a critical moment."

Having said that, the Demon Emperor, unable to sustain himself, fell asleep.

Xie Jiuniang knew that nothing was useful at this point. If the other wanted her dead, they wouldn’t leave her with even a sliver of hope for survival. Nevertheless, she did as the Demon Emperor instructed and sealed the half drop of Dragon Blood within herself.

After sending the Demon Emperor into the treasury, Xie Jiuniang also moved a large amount of resources from the Small Tortoise Shell into the Little Fatty’s main hall.

Xie Jiuniang recorded a Shadow Stone.

Her hands trembled slightly as she held the Shadow Stone; time didn’t allow her to think too much. Her voice raspy, she said, "Master, I am your disciple Yuanxi, the luckiest thing in my life has been becoming your disciple. I leave all my inheritance to you, as a token of appreciation your disciple offers you. But I won’t be able to avenge Brother Raoyang as he asked me to, please share a bit of my inheritance with Master Uncle... and please, do not seek revenge for me."

In the end, she entrusted matters concerning her grandfather and parents to Chaoyan.

Xie Jiuniang did not want Chaoyan to seek revenge for her. She knew all too well that Chaoyan had not been a Divinity Transformation expert for long and was not as powerful as Lord Wenzhong and others.

She did not want him to take risks.

Xie Jiuniang handed the Shadow Stone to the Little Fatty, instructing, "Later when I go out, I’ll send you away. After you leave if you get a chance, go to Tianxu Sect and give this Shadow Stone to my Master Chaoyan. If you really can’t reach my master, then find my Uncle Chaoruo; he is the Sect Master of Tianxu Sect. Also, there’s my senior brother’s body..."

She wiped a tear, having finished explaining.

Then she found Old He who was healing in the treasury and took out a large sum of cultivation resources. She gave one portion to Old He and the other was for the people who sought refuge in Tianqi Valley. Xie Jiuniang knew that what Hong Yi was most worried about before her death, was the well-being of the people from Tianqi Valley.

Xie Jiuniang told him to remember to keep his identity hidden and not to be found by the major families.

As for the earlier Shadow Stone, for his safety, she advised him not to deliver it to Tianxu Sect.

When she had recorded the Shadow Stone, Xie Jiuniang originally intended to threaten Lord Wenzhong and others, to make them wary and spare the lives of people like Raoyang. But Ao Xu was like a mad dog.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes reddened as she reviewed it once more, "Should Tianxu Sect and the seven major families break into conflict, go find Bai Ruiting and ask him to make the Shadow Stone public."

"Little Koumen, you can stay here, you don’t need to go out..." Old He began to say but did not finish.

If she could stay, she wouldn’t go out.

Xie Jiuniang was different from them.

Outside, the Teleportation Talisman was useless, and a Divinity Transformation expert wouldn’t give her the time to open the Fusang Secret Realm and escape.

Within the Small Tortoise Shell, it would be possible to enter the Fusang Secret Realm or take refuge in Little Fatty’s treasury, but the Small Tortoise Shell was still outside. The Small Tortoise Shell was Xie Jiuniang’s Exclusive Magic Treasure, intricately connected to a cultivator’s path to immortality and life. If her Exclusive Magic Treasure was destroyed, her path to immortality would be severed, and death would not be far off.

If death was inevitable either way, she might as well not enter...

Xie Jiuniang had already made her decision.

She stepped out of the treasury.

She clearly sensed that someone was attacking the Small Tortoise Shell.

The Ancient Ink Turtle had an extremely strong defense, and since it had been personally refined by a pinnacle Divinity Transformation expert, Lord Wenzhong and the others couldn’t break it in a short amount of time. But over an extended period, it was hard to say.

Xie Jiuniang lifted the master-servant contract with Bai Ruiting.

Keeping this contract meant that if she died, he would too.

All these years, Bai Ruiting had served her wholeheartedly; this was the last act of kindness from her as a master.

"Dog owner, isn’t there any other way?" Jian Lingyan murmured.

Xie Jiuniang gently caressed Broken Sword, "I’ve wronged you."

The contract with Broken Sword was very special; she didn’t know how to dissolve it. As for contracts with the Demon Emperor and the Golden Sun Flame, even if she ran into trouble, it wouldn’t greatly affect them, so she didn’t bother with those.

Xie Jiuniang took out a piece of Spiritual Marrow.

Then she gave several Spirit Crystals to Broken Sword.

Broken Sword accepted them, saving them for a rainy day.

Xie Jiuniang refined the Spiritual Marrow into a liquid and swallowed half of it, silently activating her Immortal Rank cultivation technique, swiftly refining the large amount of spiritual energy in her body and absorbing it into her Dantian.

At the same time, she was multitasking, desperately refining the surplus soul power in her Sea of Consciousness.

Occasionally, she would glance at Ao Xu trapped within the Time Leaf’s cage, utterly powerless as he roared.

Ao Xu was truly going mad now!

"What is this godforsaken place? My soul power has been extracted!"

Not long ago, Ao Xu had been in control of the life and death of others, never expecting that so soon, his own life and death would be in someone else’s hands.

Life is full of dramatic twists and turns.

Out of the blue, Xie Jiuniang said in her Sea of Consciousness, "Ao Xu, savor the taste of your spirit and soul being extinguished."

"Is that you?! Let me out now, or you won’t live to see another day!" Ao Xu threatened maliciously.

Xie Jiuniang indifferently responded, "Before I die, I will kill you first, just like Ao Zhan before you."

Immediately, she willed the Time Leaf to speed up the extraction of Ao Xu’s soul power.

What followed were Ao Xu’s agonized screams and curses.

Xie Jiuniang remained unmoved, concentrating on her own tasks.

At this moment, she was grateful to the Demon Emperor. Without his help, she wouldn’t have been able to kill Ao Xu and avenge her fellow disciples; Raoyang and the others were forced to their deaths by Ao Xu.

Outside, Lord Wenzhong and the others were discussing how to destroy the Small Tortoise Shell.

Once the Small Tortoise Shell was destroyed, the destiny of the Child of Destiny would be virtually crippled. With the path to immortality severed, death would not be far off, and even without killing her, she would only have a few decades left to live.

However, the Small Tortoise Shell’s durability far exceeded their expectations; even attacking with the Power of Laws only left a scratch.

"This is the shell of an adult Ancient Ink Turtle," Lord Wenzhong announced.

Nangong Divinity Transformation regretfully said, "Such a fine treasure, it’s a pity that it has been refined by someone. When its owner dies, it will self-destruct."

Su He said, "We’re discussing how to destroy it. If we can’t destroy it, we must find a way to force the person out."

"It’s all Ao Xu’s fault, that madman. Ever since his clan faced calamity, he’s been lashing out at anyone he sees. If the Tianxu Sect disciples hadn’t died, we could have used them as leverage. But now, we can’t exactly threaten her with their corpses, can we?" Nangong Divinity Transformation complained.

No one felt sad about Ao Xu’s death; in fact, there wasn’t even a ripple of emotion. Because of Ao Xu’s misdeeds, resentment arose instead.

Initially, they all wanted to kill Xie Jiuniang to ensure the continuation of their clans. Now, having seen the Golden Dragon, they wanted to kill her even more!

Otherwise, once she grew stronger, she would become a disaster for all of them.

Therefore, she must die!
