Chapter 1449: Chapter 1443: At the Critical Moment
Jiang Caixian fell from the sky, Chen Nan’s body transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting to her side. Seeing her in agony, he slowly knelt down.
"Tell me, what do you intend to do to Yun Ying?"
Jiang Caixian clutched her head and wailed in pain, her remaining consciousness barely allowed her to open her mouth: "Taiyin... Taiyin..."
"Taiyin? How could this matter be related to Taiyin?"
Chen Nan’s heart was filled with confusion, not knowing how Taiyin played a role in this affair. But seeing Jiang Caixian’s state, it was clear she couldn’t reveal more information.
"If only I had known, I wouldn’t have used the Soul Suppressing Seal; it nearly made her a fool!"
He sighed inwardly, knowing that although his Divine Soul Power hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul Realm, it surpassed the Golden Core Realm.
It’s almost like being halfway into the Nascent Soul.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Suppressing Soul Spell is a fifth-grade technique with formidable power; Jiang Caixian, merely at the Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm, naturally couldn’t withstand such a powerful impact.
"Forget it, I’ll grant you relief!"
Chen Nan’s figure returned to normal. Holding the Sword Chenyuan in his hand, he pointed the tip downward and directly pierced Jiang Caixian’s body, shattering the Golden Core in her Dantian.
Jiang Caixian’s pupils began to disperse, staring at the sky above as she gradually lost her breath.
One wonders if, in her final moments, she thought of her parents whom he had killed.
Chen Nan flicked his finger, and a flame dropped onto Jiang Caixian’s body, quickly reducing the Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple of Moon River Valley to ashes.
Lin Qingfeng’s corpse met the same fate, scattered by the wind.
Chen Nan took away the storage bags of these two and flew rapidly over the distant sea, disappearing at the horizon.
...
In Moon River Valley, Affairs Hall Elder Qiao Que suddenly opened his eyes. With a grab behind him, two tokens flew out from the Affairs Hall, belonging to Lin Qingfeng and Jiang Caixian.
However, at this moment, both tokens were shattered, indicating that their owners had died.
"Oh? Unexpectedly, they were killed? Seems like that Chen Nan is hiding something deep indeed."
Qiao Que murmured softly. After a while, he brought the tokens to Yun Ying’s residence, where Sect Leader Guo Qing was waiting outside.
"Why are you here? It’s not time yet, but once she wakes up, it’ll be enough."
Qiao Que nodded, handing the tokens to Guo Qing: "Look, your two good disciples are dead."
"Oh? That small loose cultivator actually has such strength? Really underestimated him." Guo Qing seemed somewhat surprised but didn’t mind much.
"What do you think is the purpose of him coming to our Moon River Valley?" Qiao Que asked seriously, "Could he be from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Guo Qing thought for a long time and slowly shook his head: "Doesn’t seem like it, if he was from the Law Enforcement Hall, we would have been surrounded by now."
"Indeed, seems like just a small loose cultivator, brought back by Yun Ying." Qiao Que nodded.
The two fell silent, both guarding outside the door.
Soon, Mei Gui also arrived here, joining the waiting group. The last to arrive was the slovenly old man Zhang Sen, who untied the gourd at his waist and drank a mouthful, wine spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Not done yet?"
Guo Qing glanced at him indifferently, and spoke softly: "You’ve waited a hundred years, can’t wait a few days?"
"Exactly because it’s been a hundred years, that’s why I’m anxious. My lifespan is running out, I’m counting on this little girl to help me." Zhang Sen said coldly.
"Don’t worry, everyone will have their share." Guo Qing stopped speaking, but stared closely at the room.
After taking the Burning Vein Breaking Realm Pill, Yun Ying’s slumber lasted increasingly longer; the last time it took ten days, and this time, it took a full twenty days before she woke up.
She opened her eyes and felt her cultivation had increased again, but her heart wasn’t as joyful as she imagined.
Though she had reached the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer, she could venture out into the world and become a female knight. But without Chen Nan, she suddenly felt being a female knight was meaningless.
How can a female knight not have someone to accompany her?
Moreover, Yun Ying increasingly felt uncomfortable, the mana in her body rampaged, as if it wanted to burst out from her, even she could barely suppress it.
Finally managing to suppress the mana, Yun Ying got up and opened the door, only to find that this time, her master, martial uncle, and martial brother were all waiting for her outside.
"Master, I’ve succeeded, I’ve reached the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer!"
Guo Qing couldn’t help but laugh loudly: "Haha, good, that’s truly great!"
Qiao Que, Zhang Sen, and others also laughed, but their laughter made Yun Ying feel something was amiss. She had never seen these elders laugh so wildly, so... manically.
As if they had been suppressed for a hundred years, finally being released.
"Master, you all..."
Guo Qing flashed before Yun Ying: "Good disciple, we’ve waited a hundred years for today, finally it has come."
"You are our elixir!"
Yun Ying was filled with questions, instinctively feeling fearful, for at this moment, her master and others seemed very unfamiliar: "Master, what are you saying?"
Qiao Que and the others also approached Yun Ying, inspecting her from head to toe, their eyes shining as if looking at some rare treasure.
The more this happened, the more Yun Ying was afraid, involuntarily trembling slightly.
Guo Qing laughed loudly and grabbed Yun Ying’s shoulder: "Haha, good disciple, don’t be scared, we’ve taken care of you wholeheartedly for over a hundred years, you should repay us, right?"
