Chapter 451: Chapter 450: No Need for Evidence

Currently, the one with the greatest hope of breaking through to a Ninth-Grade Pill Master is none other than True Lord Muhong. Since Chaoyan fell, the Tianxu Sect has spared no effort to help True Lord Muhong make the breakthrough.

This time, Muhong came to the Border Battlefield to prepare for refining a Ninth-Grade pill.

Thinking of Xie Jiuniang’s identity and the fact that it was her first time stepping into the Border Battlefield, Lord Ying’an deduced she couldn’t be the one stabbing them in the back and thus did not hide anything from her, he said, "True Lord Muhong needs to refine Ninth-Grade Divinity Soul Pills, and he is still missing a few Spirit Plants. Other ingredients are easy to find, but the Danxia Soul Fruit has been elusive; some say it was seen in Danxia Valley at the Border."

When he said this, hope flickered in Lord Ying’an’s eyes.

Xie Jiuniang understood there was a hidden meaning in his words.

He was probably hoping she had the Danxia Soul Fruit with her, given how iconic her Hundred Treasures Bag was.

Xie Jiuniang said, "I’ve disappointed you, Lord. I thought I was not going to make it last time, so I sent all my things back to the Sect in advance."

"This, I am aware of. The main ingredient for the Ninth-Grade Divinity Soul Pill, the Thousand-Year Dragon’s Breath Grass, was obtained by Yuanxi in the Dragon Gate Secret Realm," Lord Sujin confirmed Xie Jiuniang’s words.

Lord Sujin, also being from the Main Peak, had a very good impression of Xie Jiuniang.

Muhong said, "Then I’m still taking advantage of Yuanxi’s fortune."

"There’s nothing wrong with that; the Dragon Breath Grass was meant to be turned in to the Sect." If they hadn’t mentioned it, Xie Jiuniang wouldn’t have thought of the Dragon Breath Grass. "We’ve digressed. Our top priority should be to find out who’s colluding with the Demon Clan, right?"

"The one with the greatest motive in this matter is the old dog from the Mo Family," Lord Ying’an knew all too well, "He’s afraid of Muhong breaking through to Ninth Grade."

Muhong felt helpless, "We have no proof."

Lord Ying’an did not see the need for evidence, "This type of thing doesn’t require proof. If we need evidence for everything, that’s playing right into the enemy’s hands. Within the Cultivation World, those who’d love to see us in misfortune are only the people from the seven great families, and among them, the Mo Family is the worst offender. Therefore, whenever anything goes wrong here, suspecting them first is the correct move. Even if it’s a false accusation, what of it? We’ve been sworn enemies for a long time anyway."

Xie Jiuniang deeply agreed with these words.

When Lord Sujin saw Xie Jiuniang’s expression, he found it rather amusing.

If the seven great families heard these shameless, baseless accusations, they’d probably faint from anger.

Only Muhong believed that doing things required evidence in this place.

The Sect now hopes for Muhong to break through precisely to replace the old ancestor of the Mo Family.

And how could the old ancestor of the Mo Family not guess their intentions?

Among those who cultivate, there are hardly any true fools.

True Lord Muhong didn’t stay long before leaving for the Law House to help treat the injured disciples. The wounded were numerous, and Xing Luan and other Danfeng disciples were clearly overwhelmed with treating them.

Lord Sujin stayed behind to oversee things, while Lord Ying’an left, reportedly to meet with Master Qiansha at the Alliance Council.

The attack on the Tianxu Sect definitely needed to be addressed, and such matters were not for a junior like Xie Jiuniang to handle; elders of the Sect would take care of it.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t sit idly by.

She took a stroll around the camp.

This was a plain and rather desolate area.

Further away, it was different, with mountains and waters.

"Are you surprised? The environment of the Border Battlefield is no different from our Cultivation World," Lord Sujin suddenly appeared and said casually.

"It is quite unexpected."

Xie Jiuniang’s face was impassive, "I had heard that the Border was a passage that was also linked to the Demon Clan, so I imagined it would be a place without sunlight, but coming here I found it’s not like what I imagined at all. There’s the sun, green water and mountains, insects chirping, animals..."

"When you get a chance, go to the Defender’s Hall and look through the records related to the Border. It’s said that this place used to be a small world, rich in Spiritual Energy and resources before the Demon Clan invasion."

Lord Sujin mentioned the origin of the Border Battlefield, feeling quite sentimental, "The humans of this small world didn’t understand Immortal techniques, and they were defenseless against the Demon Clan invasion. Later, the Demon Clan ambitiously opened up a passage between here and our world... and ultimately, this became the battleground for both sides. After repeated ravages of war, it turned into what we see now."

Xie Jiuniang remained silent for a long time.

It wasn’t that she felt sorry for the once inhabitants of this place.

Instead, she thought of Lord Guangcheng’s words, saying that once she arrived at the Border Battlefield, she would understand some things.

A small world.

Half occupied by the Cultivation World and half by the Demon Realm.

This is equivalent to the resources of half a small world. Even after the long passage of time, the resources, while different from those available ten thousand years ago, are still imbued with tremendous benefits.

However, none of these matters had anything to do with her.

Xie Jiuniang silently returned to the camp and found the accommodations that had been prepared for her.

She set up an isolating formation.

She wanted to use the ability of the Time Leaf.

It could only predict her own future, and furthermore, the predictions would change with her thoughts and were not constant.

But there’s always a way when there’s a will.

To uncover someone else’s secrets, she could keep focusing on a person in her predictions.

It didn’t matter if she was discovered; she could simply predict again.

This method was unscrupulous, yet quite effective.

The person Xie Jiuniang most wanted to kill at the moment was the Mo Family’s old ancestor.

Don’t ask how she found out the murderer was him, because the answer was through investigative prediction. She also knew that Master Qiansha and her senior uncle both wanted to kill each other, yet due to the Mo Family’s old ancestor being the only Ninth Grade Pill Master, he was protected and not easily killed.

That’s right, for the time being.

Sooner or later, she would kill him!

"Master, waiting for someone else to break through to become a Ninth Grade Pill Master is slower than you doing it yourself." Jian Lingyan had an inexplicable confidence in her master.

Xie Jiuniang replied, "I am only at the Sixth Grade right now."

To her, what the Sword Spirit said sounded unreliable.

Compared to the ascent from the Sixth Grade to the Ninth, it would be quicker to help True Lord Muhong make his breakthrough.

Jian Lingyan stated matter-of-factly, "You can use that leaf to forecast, significantly shortening the time, giving you an advantage over Muhong. He is at the Nascent Soul Peak, and your Divine Sense is also at the Nascent Soul Peak but even stronger than his. It’s better to believe in yourself than to bet on him making the breakthrough. Do you think becoming a Ninth Grade Pill Master is that easy?"

Xie Jiuniang could not refute that.

Using the predictive power of the Time Leaf to practice alchemy, arrays, and talismans, thus saving on failures and materials was something she did often.

But at the moment, she simply couldn’t quiet her mind enough for alchemy.

Right now, all she wanted was revenge, and nothing was more important than that.

Ignoring Jian Lingyan’s suggestion, Xie Jiuniang opened the long river of time and chose to predict the future.

[Xie Jiuniang left the Tianxu Sect’s camp, infiltrated the Alliance Council, and as she approached the Mo Family’s old ghost’s dwelling, she was detected, almost killed... and ultimately her identity was exposed.

Master Qiansha came to rescue her...]

After emerging from the prediction, Xie Jiuniang’s face grew dark.

There were actually people guarding outside the Mo Family old ancestor’s dwelling.

How afraid of death must one be?

Xie Jiuniang was unaware that the Mo Family’s old ancestor had narrowly escaped death at the hands of Lord Qiansha last time, and in his fear, he had quickly hired two Divinity Transformation experts at a high price for protection.

She activated the prediction again, but this time, Xie Jiuniang did not head to the territory of the Alliance Council. Instead, she stealthily made her way towards the Demon Clan’s side, using a Hiding Jade Talisman and an Invisibility Jade Talisman to get close to the main tent. Suddenly, a killing intent emerged from within, her whereabouts were exposed, and she was killed...

She hadn’t even seen the face of the Demon Clan powerhouse that killed her.

Very powerful!

Just as formidable as that Demon Clan person from the Dragon Gate Secret Realm.

Nascent Souls seemed like mere ants in comparison.

Such terror was a weighty revelation.

If the Demon Clan’s commander had led an assault on the Tianxu Sect’s camp earlier, they probably would have been annihilated.
