Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 401: Chapter 399: That Power Should Slay Saints

"Let’s go!"

Jiang Jichen spoke, about to lead the group through the Phoenix Race’s Restriction Light Curtain and into the world beyond.

But just as his voice faded, another boomed across the land. "Haha... I didn’t even have to look for you. Jiang Jichen, thank you for helping us find the Phoenix Nest."

As the voice fell, two figures appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching until they stood before Jiang Jichen and his companions.

They were two Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm!

What was even more terrifying was that in this place, their Cultivation was almost completely unsuppressed.

Ever since entering the giant, gloomy mountain, Jiang Jichen had sensed that this place was different.

The deeper they went into Phoenix Mountain, the weaker the suppression became.

Especially here, in the heart of Phoenix Mountain, the rules of the Library Mountain Back Courtyard held almost no sway.

This meant that the two elders who had appeared were people who could truly wield the full power of their Nascent Soul Early Stage Realm Cultivation.

The two of them had been tailing their group this entire time.

’Even my Seven-Colored Divine Soul couldn’t detect them. They must have some extraordinary Hidden Breath Secret Artifact on them.’

"You’re... the two Protectors of the Heavenly Sword Alliance’s Young Master?"

Qing Xun and Blood Hand, hailing from the Qing Family and the Blood Refining Alliance respectively, identified the newcomers in a single sentence.

Jiang Jichen, however, didn’t know that these were the same two Nascent Soul Realm elders who had been watching him from the shadows at the Yunshui Auction House.

As for the golden-robed youth, he was nowhere to be seen.

"You two little brats from the Qing Family and Blood Refining Alliance have sharp eyes, I’ll give you that. But you’re all going to die today. The treasures of the Phoenix Nest are not for you to possess!"

Of the two Nascent Soul Realm elders, one was dressed in black, the other in green.

It was the green-robed elder who had spoken.

He admitted his identity without hesitation, clearly convinced that none of the four would escape today.

After all, they were Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators. In this place, free of suppression, they could crush the four before them with a mere wave of a hand.

"How did you know we were coming to find the Phoenix Nest? I was certain I kept this matter completely secret!"

Jiang Jichen was puzzled.

Besides the few of them, no one else should have known.

’But how could these two old geezers know?’

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s question, the black-robed elder sneered. "The Phoenix Jade Pendant Fragment... did you really think our auction house wanted to sell it? Does the Heavenly Sword Alliance look like we’re short on such a paltry sum? Hmph. We just wanted to see who would be willing to spend so much money to bid on a useless item that everyone knows is worthless."

"At first, when you won the bid, I just thought you were a spendthrift. Your act was so convincing that even we were fooled. We were originally going to kill you in secret and take back the Phoenix Jade Pendant Fragment, but our wise Young Master told us to keep an eye on your movements instead."

"And this is the final result!"

"What we didn’t expect was that deep within Phoenix Mountain, our Cultivation wouldn’t be suppressed. Otherwise, with our powers restricted, we might not have been a match for you. But now? We can use the full power of the Nascent Soul Realm. Killing you is as easy as flipping a hand."

The black-robed elder now spoke with some excitement, as if he had been holding back for a long time.

And they had been. Two magnificent masters of the Nascent Soul Realm, forced to act in secret and stand watch like common lookouts.

They felt utterly aggrieved and resentful.

Especially when they had to watch Jiang Jichen’s group eat such incomparably delicious food along the way.

They could only stare longingly from the shadows.

Right now, the two elders hated that foodie Female Asura the most.

’Couldn’t she have just walked straight here in one go? Why all the stops?’

It was all because of that foodie Female Asura, who kept crying that she was hungry and had to eat. They had to stop and start so many times, and the two of them had had enough.

"You two old grandpas, why are you looking at Suu Luo like that? Suu Luo is so cute, but you loathe me. Did Suu Luo do something to make you two old grandpas very sad?"

Suu Luo’s Divine Sense was very sharp. She immediately felt the hostility in the two elders’ gazes, the way they seemed to despise her.

Suu Luo felt quite hurt, and also very displeased.

Everywhere she went, she was always incredibly popular. Everyone liked her.

But why did these two old grandpas hate her from the moment they met?

So, she asked them directly.

It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. The moment she did, the expressions on the two elders’ faces turned incredibly ugly.

The green-robed elder, in particular, roared, "That’s right, you foodie! We could have been here long ago, but you just had to stop to eat and drink along the way! You’ll be the death of me!"

"Oh, so you’re angry at Suu Luo because you could only watch and not eat, and you got hungry. Why didn’t you come out? Suu Luo isn’t a stingy person, I would have shared with you."

"There was another old grandpa before, and Suu Luo gave him more than ten bowls of Treasure Medicine Juice!"

Suu Luo’s words were enough to infuriate someone to death.

Jiang Jichen: "..."

Qing Xun: "..."

Blood Hand: "..."

As for the two Nascent Soul Realm elders, their faces had already turned livid with rage.

"You’ve infuriated me! Fine, I’ll eliminate you first!"

This time, the green-robed elder was truly enraged, his fury and hatred making his hair and beard stand on end.

They felt this Female Asura was saying it on purpose. She was too detestable.

She clearly knew they were tailing them in secret and couldn’t reveal themselves.

Yet she still said such things. This was definitely mocking and ridiculing them.

Therefore, the green-robed elder reached out his hand as if to crush the heavens, an incomparably terrifying power descending, intending to imprison everyone.

Moreover, with their power unsuppressed, the Soul Power of the Nascent Soul Realm manifested, intimidating all spirits with a single thought.

So, at this very moment, they were about to be subjected to an Imprisonment Power that targeted both body and soul.

"Before the true Cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm, you are all nothing but ants!"

The black-robed elder sneered.

They were very confident, looking down on Jiang Jichen’s group from their lofty position.

"Die!"

The green-robed elder’s giant hand slammed down.

Although he was targeting Suu Luo, no one would be spared from this palm strike.

"BOOM!"

The giant palm descended, churning the void and shattering the scorched rocks, but the green-robed and black-robed elders’ expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Because, in the next moment, his palm strike missed!

"How is that possible? Weren’t they imprisoned? How could they still escape?!"

"It was Jiang Jichen! He was completely unaffected by the Nascent Soul Realm’s Imprisonment Power! Damn it!"

The two elders roared angrily, gnashing their teeth. They simultaneously charged through the opening in the Phoenix Race’s Restriction Light Curtain, chasing after the fleeing Jiang Jichen and his companions.

Jiang Jichen’s face was grim as he said, "Split up! This Phoenix Tree is enormous, its branches are a tangled mess. They can only chase two of us at most, and catching up won’t be easy!"

Just now, Jiang Jichen had indeed been completely unaffected by the Nascent Soul Realm’s Imprisonment Power.

After all, he was someone who dared to resist even Saintly Might. What was the pressure from the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul compared to that?

At the last second, he had directly used the profound mystery of the Void Shadowless Technique to sweep up the other three and teleport into the world of the Phoenix Tree.

But now, they were still in grave danger, because the two elders were already in pursuit.

"You guys go first. I’ll wait here for them to get closer, then I’ll escape!" Jiang Jichen said.

Suu Luo said, "Brother Jichen, Suu Luo isn’t afraid of them!"

Jiang Jichen knew she was talking about that mysterious power she possessed.

"That power of yours would be wasted on Nascent Soul Realm trash. It should be saved for slaying Saints, at the very least!"

After speaking, Jiang Jichen had already tossed Suu Luo away from him.

And he himself stood on a branch of the Phoenix Tree, waiting for the two Nascent Soul Elders to arrive.
