Chapter 713

Soul Slaughter (Part 1)

Coming back to reality, Mu Yu stretched out his back, leading to him discovering his spine had healed up. He frantically scanned his surroundings to see Qiao Xue, still sitting, primly watching him. Hehe We didnt do anything, did we?

Were you hoping we did?

No, no, its best if we didnt stray, Mu Yu fibbed to avoid Qiao Xue giving him the inexplicable look again.

Qiao Xue tugged a brow up. Didnt stray?

Mu Yu started fidgeting. I admit I dont know how to describe our relationship status anymore.

You dont need to feel so awkward. Nothing happened, Qiao Xue informed, giving Xiaoshuai a hug as her winning fishes on her shoulders flapped their wings.

Oh

You sound as though you have regrets.

We should get moving as soon as possible to catch up to those ghosties. How long did we cultivate for?

Eight hours, the dragon vine answered, yawning.

Only eight hours?! Mu Yu blurted, springing to his feet. Unable to control the corner of his lips rising, he joked, See, I told you we had a lot to gain from cultivating togeth-, ahem, we should chase the ghosties now.

Dense, Qiao Xue remarked in response to Mu Yus misunderstanding of her facial expression.

Qiao Xue did not need guidance to leave Open Marsh Shore Formation since the pillars did not drift away when leaving.

How am I dense? Mu Yu muttered, gesturing for the dragon vine to climb back onto his shoulder to leave the formation.

***

Itd be nice if I could see the current world of cultivation one last time before I move on. I dont know how I feel about not seeing all my old friends again and having to face their graves, Helian Kong, who had been waiting for days outside Fiend-Sealing Pagoda, repeated in his mind. He checked on Gui Yuzi, who he deemed awfully suspicious, rationalising to himself, It should be all right. After Reverend Xuan Jizis domain is defused, I can use my soul item to keep my soul here for another two hours to help Mu Yu escape the island before Ghost Gate can harm him.

Rumble! Fiend-Sealing Pagodas colourful door appeared again, drawing eyes toward it. Helian Kong was hoping Mu Yu and Qiao Xue would be the first ones to walk out. To his dismay, Gui Bao was first to come out sporting a wry smile. Gui Ximing, who opted to skip stopping by the thirty-ninth floor due to the time constraint on his body, freaked everyone out with his mangled body. Most importantly, Long Xingyuns different aura perturbed Helian Kong.

How? Helian Kong verbalised without realising it upon seeing Long Xingyun.

Brother Helian, why does that fiend have Ascension Realm cultivation? Mu Mengfei approached to ask.

I also want to know why he has Ghost Gates aura on him. Im dead certain he was only a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator prior to entering the pagoda. Even if he obtained something Reverend Xuan Jizi left behind, I cant imagine anyone skipping over an entire realm. This is mind boggling.

Xingyun, did you attain all of Reverend Xuan Jizis inheritance? Thats an impressive jump in cultivation, complimented Ox Demon King, leader of the fiends.

Upon raising his head, Long Xingyuns scarlet eyes incited crippling fear in Ox Demon King. Elder Ox Demon King, are all of you willing to do anything for Ocean Fiend King?

I cant believe I couldnt maintain my conscious in Long Xingyuns presence when our cultivation is equal. It would be good for us if a fiend inherited Reverend Xuan Jizis inheritance, but knowing Reverend Xuan Jizi, theres no way hed pass anything beneficial on to the likes of Long Xingyun, Ox Demon King analysed in his mind. Adopting a serious demeanour, he questioned, Xingyun, why do you have ghost qi in you?

You didnt dignify my question with an answer, Elder Ox Demon King. Ill ask again: are you willing to do anything for Ocean Fiend King?

That is a foregone conclusion. As Fiend King Yujiangs subjects, we will do anything for our king.

Long Xingyuns lips started to creep the fiends out. Even dying?

Death is nothing to fear when we have already died once.

I now need you all to sacrifice your lives for Ocean Fiend King again. I need your souls.

What are you talking about? Ox Demon King asked in a low voice and through his peripherals.

As soon as Long Xingyun bound toward Ox Demon King, the latter erected a soul energy shield around him. Somehow, Long Xingyun was able to absorb the soul energy using his ghost qi, rendering Ox Demon King immobile.

What did you do to me, Long Xingyun?!

Long Xingyun turned Ox Demon King into a blob of white light and crushed it in his grip, scattering the smithereens into his body via his seven orifices.

Long Xingyun, how dare you kill Ox Demon King!

The fiend races second leader, Golden Spear Spirit Turtle, an Ascension Realm cultivator, marched on Long Xingyun in anger. Long Xingyun arrogantly smirked as he discharged ghost qi, seizing control of his aggressor. Long Xingyun posed Golden Spear Spirit Turtle in a star jump posture and muttered, Boom.

Golden Spear Spirit Turtle whisked into Long Xingyuns body just as Ox Demon King did.
