Chapter 267 Martial Sage! (1)
A hoarse, dry sound which sounded like gears that had been rusted for countless years beginning to turn again resounded in his mind.
The Bloodseeker Essence Energy that was drawn into the Blood Doppelganger's body was immediately suppressed by its power. Then, it was dissolved and absorbed.
But!
In Su Jingxing's sea of consciousness, a semi-transparent figure forced its way in and revealed itself.
It was a thin man with long hair that fell to his shoulders. His facial features could not be seen clearly, but one could vaguely tell that he was an old man in his seventies or eighties.
As soon as he appeared, he released a powerful will to scan Su Jingxing's sea of consciousness.
At the same time, he shouted coldly, "Not bad. Although you interrupted my plan, completing the possession a few years in advance doesn't matter. This body… Hmm? What's wrong with your body? Why isn't it made of flesh and blood?"
"Energy body? Pure energy body? How is that possible? Who are you?
"No, what are you!?"
At the end, he was almost shouting.
The voice sounded in his sea of consciousness, pushing deeper. constantly
Distortions, shock, and astonishment could be seen on his blurry face.
"And what are you?"
Su Jingxing controlled the Essence Soul to slowly stand up in his sea of consciousness.
"Impossible!"
As soon as the Essence Soul appeared, the figure's screams became shrill.
"No, no, no. How can you have an Essence Soul? How could you have condensed an Essence Soul?
"Who are you? Who exactly are you? The Martial Sage of the Yu Nation?
"No, no, it's impossible for a Martial Sage to be so young. Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"
The figure was terrified, shouting, and screaming. Its semi-transparent body kept retreating
However, this was Su Jingxing's sea of consciousness. No matter where he retreated, it was equivalent to staying in the same spot.
On the other hand, Su Jingxing was slightly surprised when he heard his words. "A Martial Sage? You mean a Martial Sage? The Essence Soul is the symbol of a Martial Sage?"
"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!" The figure didn't answer, and only continued to question with shock, fear, and madness.
"Tell me who you are first." Su Jingxing chuckled.
"How could this be? How could this be? How could this be?"
The figure still did not answer and muttered to himself.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question," Su Jingxing chided softly.
"Ahhh!"
As the figure went berserk, ripples appeared on his semi-transparent soul body.
"No matter who you are, it won't be easy for you to kill me."
"You shall die with me!"
Accompanied by a roar, the figure suddenly pounced towards Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
Swish!
The illusion of a red full moon appeared almost instantly and descended into his sea of consciousness.
Danger!
As the crimson moon descended, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul instinctively sensed a terrifying danger.
Without any hesitation, he immediately condensed the Heaven Trampling Elephant and released the Sishui Horned Dragon to work together with the Heaven Origin Saber in the Essence Soul's grip.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
First, the Heaven Origin Saber was released to attack the crimson moon.
Then, the Heaven Trampling Elephant faced the figure, raised its front legs, and stomped down.
The Sishui Horned Dragon circled around to the back of the crimson moon. When the Heaven Origin Saber struck the crimson moon, causing it to sway, it immediately wrapped itself around it.
This process happened in the blink of an eye. The figure that had rushed in front of the Essence Soul was first struck by the Heaven Trampling Elephant's leg, and then it lost the crimson moon. Its semi-transparent body swayed and became extremely unstable.
Take his life while he's down.
Su Jingxing controlled the Essence Soul to quickly condense the Heaven Origin Saber and rained down attacks in all directions.
The figure roared as fluctuations appeared on its semi-transparent body, blocking most of the Heaven Origin Saber.
Then, from his blurry features, the two eyes suddenly shot out beams of light that shot towards the Essence Soul.
II
It was too fast, and the Essence Soul was unable to dodge for a moment. Fortunately, the massive body of the Heaven Trampling Elephant stood between them and bore the attack.
Roar!
With a long roar, the massive body of the Heaven Trampling Elephant quickly turned translucent, almost disintegrating.
The might of the figure's attack was obvious.
Even after the two beams passed, Su Jingxing immediately sensed that his semi-transparent body had weakened by more than half.
However, such a soul attack was still terrifying and coveting.
Su Jingxing was tempted.
The translucent body of the Heaven Trampling Elephant decisively and fiercely charged forward.
The Essence Soul followed behind him and condensed the Heaven Origin Saber. Half of it was released from a distance while the other half was augmented together to form a saber in its hand.
Roar!
With a long roar, the Heaven Trampling Elephant's trunk swept out at high speed, sweeping across the figure and sending it flying.
Before he could stabilize himself, he was struck by the Heaven Origin Saber that was flying over. His semi-transparent body swayed again, and the fluctuations became more intense and while the body turned weaker.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the Heaven Trampling Elephant caught up again. It stomped heavily on the figure that had collapsed in midair without any ability to fight back. The semi-transparent body also lost its ability to resist, leaving only weak pleas for mercy.
"Don't, don't… don't kill me. I'm useful, I'm very useful to you! You're a newly born Essence Soul, right? I'm…"
Swish!
As the Heaven Origin Saber streaked across, the semi-transparent body was separated from his head.
His entire body immediately turned into pure soul power that floated in his sea of consciousness.
[Incomplete Essence Soul corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
"…Yes!"
He first extracted the card in surprise. Then, with no time to see what card it was, Su Jingxing controlled the Essence Soul to try and absorb the ownerless soul power floating in his sea of consciousness.

Chapter 268 Martial Sage! (2)
During this attempt, he discovered that most of the soul power had mysteriously disappeared.
The remaining half was mixed with some memory fragments that were successfully captured by the Essence Soul and quickly absorbed and digested.
The moment everything was digested, Su Jingxing's expression became especially interesting
Even the Essence Soul's face twitched.
Yue Dongliu!
The figure that had invaded his consciousness was the Crimson Moon Martial Sage from a thousand years ago, Yue Dongliu!
Su Jingxing's previous guess was right. Yue Dongliu wasn't dead.
His physical body was destroyed, but his Essence Soul remained. Of course, not entirely, only about a third.
It was an incomplete Essence Soul.
Even so, Yue Dongliu was still very powerful. Su Jingxing had the Sishui Horned Dragon, the Heaven Trampling Elephant, and a complete Essence Soul. The Heaven Origin Saber he condensed wasn't weak either.
Had it been anyone else, even if they were in the first-grade, their consciousness would have been devoured by Yue Dongliu and to possess and be reborn!
That's right. From the very beginning, Yue Dongliu had used some unknown method to reside in the body of a Bloodseeker Beast and devoured its consciousness.
His goal was to possess a body and be reborn!
Because the memories he absorbed were incomplete, Su Jingxing only knew that Yue Dongliu was unwilling to die just like that. Before his lifespan was up, he had separated his Essence Soul.
But possession and rebirth were not that easy.
The reason why he resided in a Bloodseeker Beast was because they had very special structures.
Yue Dongliu was very envious of their immortality in theory.
The reason why he used a Bloodseeker Beast as a host was to obtain this ability.
Therefore, he somehow found a way to seal the Bloodseeker Beasts underground with a secret art.
Su Jingxing didn't know where he got the Bloodseeker Beasts either. It wasn't in the memories.
In short, the one thousand Bloodseeker Beasts were Yue Dongliu's test subjects.
If one didn't work, he would switch to another.
The freezing seal was also one of the steps.
And just in case, to see the light of day again, he deliberately spread the news of the Martial Sage's legacy.
Including the Martial Sage's Manuscript and the three legacy stone tablets, everything had been premeditated and were all part of his plan.
After all, if no one broke the seal after he successfully resided in a Bloodseeker Beast, he would have to be sealed underground forever. That would be awkward.
As for how to find someone to possess and be reborn after using a Bloodseeker Beast to escape, Su Jingxing was unaware because he did not absorb the relevant memories.
However, Su Jingxing was very lucky to have absorbed the information regarding the Essence Soul.
Just as he had guessed, the Essence Soul was the symbol of a Martial Sage!
From the late stages of the first-grade, if one fused his physical body, soul, and true essence into one, under the catalysis of Martial Art True Intent, one could condense a Divine Embryo..
The Divine Embryo was hatched using soul power. If it was successfully born, not only would there be a qualitative change in the physical body's life level, it would also increase one's lifespan by 240 years. He would also own an Essence Soul!
Essence Soul, a brand new cultivation foundation.
In this realm, one would begin with the Void Soul, then the Soul Fixation and finally, Soul Formation.
Void Soul, Soul Fixation, Soul Formation.
Once the final step was completed, the Essence Soul would turn into a Primordial Spirit.
The Essence Soul still needed a physical body to reside in, but if the final step was completed and a Primordial Spirit was achieved, the physical body could be abandoned.
This was because the Primordial Spirit could reconstruct the physical body!
In the legends of Earth Star, immortals were in this realm.
After achieving the Primordial Spirit, one would no longer be bound by the stars. He could leave the planet and roam the boundless starry sky.
The Essence Soul could not do that. Although an Essence Soul could ignore gravity, it could not break through the astral winds of the nine heavens.
This was especially true for newly born Essence Souls, which was in the Void Soul state. It could not withstand the roasting of the sun, the impact of the extreme Yin and Yang baneful aura, or the hacking of the Void Divine Thunder. There were also several other taboos that would destroy the Essence Soul in the Void Soul state.
In the soul fixation state, things were different.
Other than the few taboos like the Void Divine Thunder, the roasting of the sun, the astral winds of the nine heavens, extreme Yin Yang, and so on could be ignored.
As for Soul Formation, it was mainly a transition stage to the Primordial Spirit.
At this stage, soul power was the strongest and most abundant. If one could make it through this, he would reach the heavens in a single bound and achieve a Primordial Spirit.
Otherwise, his soul would dissipate, and not even his Martial Art True Intent would remain.
Every breakthrough in these three minor realms was extremely difficult.
Take Yue Dongliu, the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, for example. Before his 360 years were up, he was still in the Void Soul realm.
The reason for this was because he did not have any soul skills related to the Essence Soul.
In other words, cultivation techniques, Essence Soul cultivation, and martial arts before that were completely useless.
The true Essence Soul cultivation techniques were collectively called soul skills.
Including the Heaven Origin Saber, it could not be considered a soul skill.
On the other hand, the Full Moon Breathing Technique could be considered one. It could absorb the essence of the moon and strengthen one's soul power.
The second reason was that Yue Dongliu was not a Kingdom Defending Martial Sage!
The Martial Sage from the previous dynasty a thousand years ago was another transcendent-grade expert.
Although Yue Dongliu was also a Martial Sage, he was no match for him.
That was because the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage had the jade seal, the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Every dynasty's Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was a soul weapon, a special treasure.
Only with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal could the Essence Soul be like a fish in water in the Void World.
The Void World. The mysterious space that Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had entered while chasing the ostrich creature previously was a part of it.
Back then, the Yu Nation territory that Su Jingxing had seen through Essence Soul was actually the corresponding Yu Nation in the Void World.
This was difficult to understand.
Simply put, the Void World was like a piece of paper. It traveled through other dimensions and could invade various worlds and planets.
The Void World had existed since ancient times.
It was like a piece of paper. Once it invaded a world, it would overlap with it.
Then, while bringing all kinds of convenience and opportunities, it also brought terrifying monsters and strange existences.
That's right, the Void World was also like a passageway.
After connecting to two worlds, the living beings of these two worlds could use this passage to enter each other's worlds.
Just like the ostrich creature that Su Jingxing had killed!
The Void World had existed for countless years, and no one knew how many worlds it had invaded.
At the very least, Yue Dongliu didn't know, and neither did anyone on Earth Star since ancient times.
In any case, there were very few records about the Void World.
He only knew that the Void World had come to Earth Star a long, long time ago.
Although the Void World had invaded, in ancient times, the experts on Earth Star had used an unknown method to cut off the paths of the outside world.
They severed the connection with other worlds!
The existing monsters were all left behind from ancient times.
This was because Earth Star was very big, and the area where the Void World overlapped with it was very wide. It was enough for the monsters from other worlds to survive. In fact, those strange existences that lived in the Void Word to begin with naturally lasted.
Only a nation where a Martial Sage held the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal could drive away monsters and kill strange creatures.
This was also the origin of the title of the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage!
Without the protection of a Martial Sage, the monsters and strange creatures hidden in the darkness of the Void World would pass through the "membrane" and enter the nation, triggering all kinds of disasters. The previous self-combustion issue originated from the ostrich creature.
At this point, Su Jingxing came to a sudden realization and was shocked.
Without the protection of the Martial Sage, the monsters in the Void World would enter the nation.
Doesn't this mean that something has happened to the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation?
If nothing had happened, why would the ostrich creature release a large number of strange lifeforms to make people self-combust?
Had Su Jingxing not accidentally nurtured an Essence Soul using a Divine Defense Card, chased the ostrich creature into the Yu Nation's Void World and killed it, countless more people would have died!
"Has something happened to the Martial Sage?"
Su Jingxing's scalp went numb.
After learning the importance of the Martial Sage, Su Jingxing's heart turned cold at once.
If something had really happened to the Martial Sage, the Yu Nation would be finished!
Although he did not know how many strange monsters there were in the darkness of the Void World, they had never been cut off over so many years.
Su Jingxing could kill an ostrich creature using his Essence Soul.
But what if there were 10, 20, 50 or 100 of them?
Could Su Jingxing still resolve the problem?
And this was only an ostrich creature. What if it were another even more terrifying monster or strange existence?
Could Su Jingxing still resolve the problem?
No!
It wasn't that Su Jingxing was belittling himself, but he knew his limits.
Currently, the only offensive and defensive means of his Essence Soul was the Heaven Origin Saber. The problem was that the Heaven Origin Saber could not be considered a soul skill and had limited lethality.
He was lucky that he was able to take care of the ostrich creature the last time.
He might not be so lucky with other monsters and strange existences.
Unless Su Jingxing obtained the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal!

Chapter 269 Beast Refining Blood King! (1)
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was a special treasure that was classified as a soul weapon.
A weapon that could only be controlled by an Essence Soul!
With it, he could shrink the Yu Nation's Void World territory to inches and mobilize the Yu Nation's fate to protect himself. He could also take a wisp of the nation's mental will and kill his target through the jade seal.
This target could be someone from an enemy nation, or a monster from the Void World. The only exception was it could not be a citizen of the Yu Nation.
For this reason, the stronger the dynasty, the more citizens there were, the stronger the strength of the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage.
When the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage became powerful, he could not only stop the monsters in the Void World, but also suppress the criminal organizations and evil forces in the country.
Even though he could not kill the citizens using the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, he could still suppress them by directly targeting their souls using the power of his Essence Soul even without soul skills.
Once the suppression of the Martial Art True Intent was triggered, all martial artists in the middle and lower ranks would have to kneel.
The same went for Essence Souls. Once activated, even an expert in the top ranks could be easily suppressed.
This had nothing to do with true essence, martial arts, or the physical body; it was purely a suppression of the soul.
Therefore, if there were no other factors interfering, the dynasty and the Martial Sage would form a good cycle.
With mutual help, they would become stronger individually.
But things are never perfect
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the lifespan of a Martial Sage was limited to 360 years was a problem.
Condense a Divine Embryo and hatch an Essence Soul.
No matter how talented a martial artist was, they would be at least 70 to 80 years old when they reached this realm.
Even if they were only 60 years old, a Martial Sage would only guard the dynasty for 300 years at most.
In these 300 years, if no second Martial Sage was born, the dynasty would face a catastrophe when the current Martial Sage passes away.
The strange invasion of the monsters in the Void Realm.
Su Jing took a shortcut and accidentally extracted the Divine Defense Card.
He obtained an Essence Soul through the Divine Defense Card.
His pace was too fast. It would be too much to say that he had reached the peak in a single bound.
In some ways, Su Jingxing was now in the Transcendent-grade, which also made him a Martial Sage.
However, his physical body had not undergone a life-level transformation.
Although he had a transcendent body, his lifespan did not increase.
Therefore, Su Jingxing could not confirm whether he was a Martial Sage or not, nor could he be bothered to think about it.
He was still young. It was too early to talk about his lifespan.
How to stimulate the Essence Soul and release suppression that targeted the soul.
Coincidentally, Su Jingxing happened to have absorbed the memories in this aspect.
Strictly speaking, this ability to stimulate one's Essence Soul and form a terrifying suppression was considered a soul skill.
It was a natural soul skill that every Martial Sage possessed.
Of course, Su Jingxing had no time to try it now.
He had to verify that something might have happened to the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation.
His Essence Soul left his sea of consciousness. In its illusory state, it ignored the gravity and floated through the air, charging into the sky.
At the intersection of the overlapping of the Void World and Earth Star, there was a transparent glass belt known as the border membrane.
As long as the Essence Soul focused, it would be able to sense it and see it. Finally, it would expend soul power to pass through the border membrane and enter the Yu Nation's territory in the Void World.
The second time he entered this mysterious space, Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul to move quickly to search for the Yu Nation's Martial Sage.
He first headed west until he reached the edge of the darkness. Then, he headed south and similarly arrived at the edge of the darkness.
Further to the east, it shuttled all the way.
Finally, at the northeast corner, near the edge of the darkness, Su Jingxing saw a figure with his back facing him, motionless.
Yu Nation's Martial Sage?
The last time he entered the Void World, Su Jingxing had never been to the northeast side.
This time, in his search, he had spotted this figure. If he was not mistaken, this person was the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation.
It was good news that the Martial Sage was fine.
Su Jingxing looked at the Martial Sage from afar and had no intention of greeting him.
Firstly, there was also a conflict between Martial Sages.
Especially the Martial Sages from the enemy countries, they all wanted to kill one another.
Even Martial Sages from the same country shared good and bad relationships.
The Martial Sages who held the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal were usually the strongest. If they wanted to rob, Su Jingxing could only choose to escape.
Secondly, Su Jingxing was unprepared.
His Essence Soul had come too easily and effortlessly.
If any abnormality was discovered by the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, who knew what he would think?
Finally, Su Jingxing did not know the character of the Yu Nation's Martial Sage.
To be safe, it was better for them to not meet.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing controlled his Essence Soul to penetrate the border membrane and return to the surface.
The Martial Sage of the Yu Nation was fine. He was most likely delayed by something during the ostrich creature's invasion.
How many days had he been away? Without much thought, Su Jingxing returned his Essence Soul to his physical body's sea of consciousness.
He continued to absorb Yue Dongliu's memory fragments, trying to find some information about ultimate secret arts.
Unfortunately, other than the complete Full Moon Breathing Technique, the other ultimate techniques and secret arts only took up a small portion. Some of them even only had a few segments and a few lines of descriptions.
Such mental cultivation techniques and secret arts could not be deduced even with the Deduction Card.
Deduction Cards and deducing secret martial arts skills were built on orderly and basic martial arts knowledge.
In other words, one had to at least have a set of past theories that were logical.
Without any theories, how could the deduction be done?
Fortunately, Su Jingxing had obtained the complete Full Moon Breathing Technique.
No, to be precise, it was the genuine version of the Full Moon Breathing Technique!
The Full Moon Breathing Technique he had obtained from the legacy stone tablet was also complete. However, Yue Dongliu had tampered with it and turned it into a pirated version.
Leaving behind three legacy stone tablets was Yue Dongliu's deliberate plan.
The information imprinted on the stone tablets–the military manual, the secret heavenly art, and the Full Moon Breathing Technique had all been tampered with.

Chapter 270 Beast Refining Blood King! (2)
This was such that once one cultivated them, Yue Dongliu would sense it.
Take for example, the Full Moon Breathing Technique. If Su Jingxing cultivated it, the Bloodseeker Beast that Yue Dongliu resided in or after he successfully possessed a human body, he would be able to sense Su Jingxing's location even from thousands of miles away.
Furthermore, once he successfully cultivated the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Yue Dongliu could still silently influence Su Jingxing through the secret door he left behind, change his behavior, and do some unconscious things.
Of course, most importantly, if Su Jingxing really cultivated the Full Moon Breathing Technique and made achievements, then Su Jingxing would be Yue Dongliu's best target to possess!
All of this was part of Yue Dongliu's plans.
However, the genuine version of the Full Moon Breathing Technique that Su Jingxing read from his fading memories, he did not find these drawbacks.
Su Jingxing carefully comprehended the real Full Moon Breathing Technique And realized that after cultivating this special martial art, not only could it increase one's soul power, strengthen one's Essence Soul, one could also condense a Moon Shield.
Just like when Yue Dongliu attacked Su Jingxing earlier, the red full moon that suddenly appeared was the Moon Shield.
The Moon Shield could both defend the Essence Soul and provide soul power.
That's right, the Moon Shield was also equivalent to a storage device that could store soul power.
According to Yue Dongliu's philosophy, when the Full Moon Breathing Technique was cultivated to the extreme, one could continue to make a breakthrough and it would become a true soul skill.
Once it became a true soul skill, the condensed Moon Shield would be the Soul Space Bag.
The meaning of the Soul Space Bag could be inferred from its name.
It would be a lie to say that Su Jingxing wasn't surprised.
Yue Dongliu couldn't make another breakthrough with the Full Moon Breathing Technique.
But he could!
As long as he had a Deduction Card, he could deduce a higher level of the Full Moon Breathing Technique.
To put it bluntly, be it the Full Moon Breathing Technique or the Heaven Origin Saber, they were both semi soul skills.
Any changes a step further in these mental martial arts would make them true soul skills!
Deduction Card…
In an instant, the Function Card that Su Jingxing wanted the most was the Deduction Card.
Oh right, when Yue Dongliu's incomplete Essence Soul died, he had extracted a card. He still didn't know what it was.
Su Jingxing immediately opened his palm space and took out the card. Holding it in his palm, he read the information.
A Skill Card!
The card extracted from Yue Dongliu's incomplete Essence Soul corpse was actually a Skill Card.
Sword Eyes!
It was a soul-type offensive ultimate technique.
Su Jingxing quickly comprehended it and realized that this ultimate technique was also a semi soul skill, but its lethality was several times stronger than that of the Heaven Origin Saber.
As the name suggested, this was a unique skill related to the eyes.
Of course, it did not refer to the naked eye, but the Essence Soul's eyes.
Yue Dongliu had just used this ultimate technique when he attacked Su Jingxing earlier.
With just a glance, it almost disintegrated the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
And this was when Yue Dongliu only had a third of his Essence Soul left.
If Yue Dongliu's Essence Soul had been in a complete state back then, he could have destroyed the Heaven Trampling Elephant with a single glance and killed Su Jingxing while he was at it.
This ultimate technique came at the perfect time!
Su Jingxing comprehended it carefully, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
He was in need of a soul attack method, so gaining the Sword Eyes had temporarily supplemented that.
He was in no hurry to cultivate it.
After a while, Su Jingxing regained his composure and put away everything. His Blood Doppelganger had just finished absorbing the Bloodseeker Essence Energy and completely resolved the danger.
Ooh ooh
On the side, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf's upper body was sprawled on the ground. It adopted a defensive posture and stared nervously at the Blood Doppelganger.
"Hmm? You don't recognize me anymore?"
Seeing this, Su Jingxing couldn't help but be surprised. Then he reacted and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that you really don't know this body. Forget it, it's fine if you don't. In short, stay here and don't go anywhere for the next few days!"
With that, he leaped into the sky.
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf was left staring at the disappearing Blood Doppelganger with wide eyes, its gaze filled with confusion.
Huh?
This fellow knows me?
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf was puzzled.
As soon as the Blood Doppelganger left, it turned back into a lump, shrunk to the size of an egg, and stored it in the palm space.
Su Jingxing's main body did not go to see the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf. Instead, he returned the way he came and found Wan Sansi, Xiao Yuanfang, and the others.
"What? The Bloodseeker Beast has been dealt with?" Kang Shaoyu's eyes were wide. "Who dealt with it? Where is the Bloodseeker Essence Energy? That thing is not simple. If it isn't dealt with properly, there will be endless trouble in the future."
"It was taken care of by a man who was more than two meters tall, had long hair that fell to his shoulders, and had extremely dense blood energy."
Without blinking, Su Jingxing explained, "The other party is very strong. I heard the commotion and rushed over to check. I found that the other party had just finished off the Bloodseeker Beast and refined the Bloodseeker Essence Energy."
"It's him!" Xiao Yuanfang's expression changed as he blurted out.
"Who is he?" asked Su Jingxing cooperatively.
"Beast Refining Blood King!"
With a grim expression, Wan Sansi said in surprise, "I didn't expect him to have come as well. He even refined the Bloodseeker Beast before all of us once again!"
"…Beast Refining Blood King? Again?" Su Jingxing resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Who is this Beast Refining Blood King?"
"Before the Bloodseeker Beasts were refined, no one knew who he was."
Xiao Yuanfang took a deep breath and explained, "Brother Li, you should remember that we worked together to intercept the Bloodseeker Beasts and sealed them in the valley in the center of Green Cloud Mountain Range, right?"
"I do." Su Jingxing nodded.
"It was right there. Not long ago, all of the Bloodseeker Beasts were refined."
Xiao Yuanfang said in a low voice, "We don't know where this Beast Refining Blood King came from. He sneaked into the Nine Lotus Eight Trigrams Array silently and killed all one thousand Bloodseeker Beasts in the valley. He also refined all the Blood Elemental Essence Energy that they dissipated into."
"We don't know his name, so we called him the Beast Refining Blood King."
"Heh, this Blood King even sent a first-grade expert from Ghost Ride flying with a punch," added Kang Shaoyu.
"… Impressive," Su Jingxing sighed. "It's more than impressive. He's an amazing person." Kang Shaoyu clicked his tongue and sighed. "The refinement method of the Bloodseeker Essence Energy has been lost for a long time, but the other party knew it. His background is clearly not simple. He's either from a large sect or an ancient martial arts family that has existed for more than a thousand years!
"Of course, there's another possibility. That is, this Beast Refining Blood King was a lucky b*stard and picked up a secret technique to refine the Bloodseeker Essence Energy!"

11
You are the lucky b*stard.
Su Jingxing laughed inwardly. On the surface, he remained calm and collected. Even his aura did not change.
"No matter what, we can put this matter behind us now that the Bloodseeker Beast has been dealt with."
Su Jingxing sighed.
"That's true." Xiao Yuanfang nodded. "I'll send a message to the Prefecture Army to inform them that they can stop the search."
"It's time for me to leave too." Su Jingxing slowly rose into the air. "Everyone, remember to contact me if you need anything. Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
"Goodbye, goodbye."
Wan Sansi, Kang Shaoyu, and the others all bade farewell to him.
He was on his way back to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
As usual, Su Jingxing sensed behind himself to avoid being followed.
After confirming that no one was following him, he descended to the back mountain and returned to his small courtyard.
After entering the house and taking a short break, Su Jingxing took out the Skill Card that contained the Sword Eyes. He unlocked it and absorbed it directly.
In an instant, he memorized all the cultivation methods and uses of the Sword Eyes.
Su Jingxing manifested the Essence Soul and cultivated this lethal semi soul skill through
it.
Without the Martial Arts Practice Card, Su Jingxing had to rely on himself to comprehend it.
For three consecutive days, he stayed in his room and cultivated the Sword Eyes.
Compared to the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Sword Eyes was even more difficult to cultivate.
After three days, Su Jingxing had just reached the threshold of the introductory stage.
Since he couldn't even reach the introductory stage, Su Jingxing naturally wouldn't give up. He continued on the fourth day.
A day had passed, but he still had not reached the introductory stage.
As night fell, Su Jingxing immersed himself in it again.
At that moment, his phone, which was charging at the side, suddenly rang.
From the corner of his eye, he quickly glanced at the screen and saw Shen Qian's number and notification.
Another person is selling Energy Gathering Stones or special energy stones?
Su Jingxing thought for a moment and decided to stop cultivating for the time being. He got up and grabbed his phone to pick up the call.
"Senior, someone wants to kill me!"

Chapter 271 Family Heirloom (1)
Hmm?
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.
Although it was a little cold-blooded, Su Jingxing and Shen Qian had always shared a cooperative relationship, making fair transactions.
Now that Shen Qian was being targeted, Su Jingxing's first reaction was that Shen Qian was asking for help.
As such, just as he was about to speak, Shen Qian, who was on the other end of the line, said again, "I would like to ask for Senior's help. If you are willing to help me, one of the Shen Family's family heirlooms will be yours."
"…What heirloom?" asked Su Jingxing calmly.
Shen Qian fell silent.
A moment later, she replied with a bitter laugh, "To be honest, I don't know either. This matter happened too suddenly and it's quite complicated too. Senior, if you have time, how about we talk face-to-face?"
"Sure," Su Jingxing continued to respond calmly. "See you at the bridge on the north bank of the Sky Water River in half an hour."
"Alright, Senior," replied Shen Qian quickly. "See you in half an hour."
After hanging up, Su Jingxing tossed his phone in surprise.
Shen Qian was in a life-and-death situation.
On account of their many pleasant collaborations, Su Jingxing didn't mind helping her once.
But only this time.
After this, Su Jingxing would cut off all contact with her and never interact with her again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qian was very smart and directly stated that this was a deal.
He helped, and Shen Qian would give him a family heirloom. If Shen Qian's family heirloom was good, or even powerful, like Thunderbolt, naturally, Su Jingxing wouldn't refuse the deal.
The descendants of martial artists might not necessarily be martial artists.
Similarly, the descendants of ordinary people might not necessarily be ordinary people.
On Earth Star, anything was possible.
Family heirlooms were never an exception. There was nothing surprising about the fact that Shen Qian's ancestors were well off.
What interested Su Jingxing was what exactly was the treasure?
Ordinary things wouldn't threaten one's life.
After pondering for a moment, Su Jingxing suppressed his doubts, took out his cloak and mask, and put them on.
He left the house, soared into the air, and rushed to the appointed location.
There were not many cars on the bridge at night, but there were many people.
After Su Jingxing arrived, he waited for a while and saw Shen Qian rushing over. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm late." She lowered her head in fear and apologized.
IS
"It's okay." Su Jingxing lowered his voice and said calmly, "It's not the agreed time yet, so you're not late. There's no need to talk about this anymore. Tell me what happened to you."
"Alright, alright." Shen Qian took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Let's talk over there." Su Jingxing stepped down the steps and arrived at the riverbank. He walked along the riverbank and into the distance.
Shen Qian quickly followed. At the same time, she thought for a while before introducing.
"Here's what happened. Three days ago, an uncle I have in the capital suddenly came to my door and asked for an item.
"At the very beginning, my family lived in the capital. When my grandfather was young, he came to Qinghe City. He settled down here and stayed for decades. When it came to me, I was already a local of Qinghe.
"According to the family register, this uncle who came knocking on my door is only related to my grandfather's grandfather generation. They were cousins.
"By the time it reached my generation, the two sides had long since lost contact. In fact, if he hadn't come knocking on my door, I wouldn't even know that my Shen Familys' roots came from the capital.
"All this time, I thought I was from Qinghe. I didn't expect…
"Therefore, when this uncle from the capital came to me and asked me for an item, I had no idea what he was talking about.
"It was only after this uncle repeatedly reminded me that I recalled it was something on my grandfather, a circular ring!
"I was still young then, about five or six years old. At that time, because I was mischievous, when Grandpa was tidying up the cabinets, I saw a circular ring on the side. I took it out and ran away.
"I remember very clearly. At that time, Grandpa was furious. He caught up to me and shouted at me. I was terrified and had nightmares for several consecutive nights. I cried the moment I saw Grandpa.
"After that, my parents brought me out to live for a few years. I only saw Grandpa again when I was a few years older. Although I was still a little afraid of him, I did not break down again. Moreover, Grandpa apologized to me and played with me every day. He brought me to eat good food. That was how we got close again.
"A few years later, when I was in high school, Grandpa suddenly came to me one day and told me about the circular ring. He said that the ring is a family heirloom of the Shen Family. Those who are not direct descendants cannot be told about it, nor can they inherit
"According to the family rules, the circular ring in Grandpa's hand was to be passed down to my younger brother. It has always been the Shen Family's rule to pass down heirlooms to sons and not daughters. However, because Grandpa was feeling guilty that he scared me when I was young, he decided to pass the circular ring to me.
"At first, I was indeed very happy. I had to look at it every night before I went to bed. But after looking at it for several years, I didn't find anything. The family heirloom didn't show any signs of being a "treasure", so I gave it to my younger brother. Of course, before I gave it to him, I took many photos.
"A few years later, because of the Shi Family, my family was broken up. My parents and younger brother passed on, and because I gave the ring to my younger brother, I didn't know where he hid it. From then on, it disappeared. I also forgot about it.
"It wasn't until three days ago when this uncle from the capital came knocking on my door that I recalled and dug out a photo."
At this point, Shen Qian stopped talking and took out a few photos, handing them to Su Jingxing
Su Jingxing took them. Without going under the street lamp, he activated his secret ability, Night Vision, and looked at the circular ring in the photos.
At first glance, it looked like a bracelet. However, upon closer inspection, one could tell that this bracelet was extremely special.

Chapter 272 Family Heirloom (2)
The photo taken by Shen Qian was quite high-definition, so he could get a clear look of the patterns on the circular ring.
Su Jingxing looked at these patterns one by one and pieced them together in his mind. He found them to be very magical. It was like an incantation or a mental cultivation technique.
From this, it could be seen that the Shen Family's circular ring was no ordinary item.
The family heirloom was indeed a treasure.
As for what kind of treasure it was, it was unclear. He had to see the real thing to judge.
"This uncle from the capital wants me to hand over the circular ring."
Shen Qian continued, "But it has long disappeared. I don't even know where it is. How can I give it to him? Even if he is willing to give me 100 million dollars, I don't have the circular ring.
"I told him the truth. He didn't believe me. Of course, at the beginning, he didn't really force me. He just wanted me to think about it carefully. If 100 million isn't enough, he could give me 300 million dollars.
"The next day, he came to me again. He asked me for the circular ring and raised the price to one billion dollars. I wanted to give it to him, but I didn't know where it was and couldn't give it to him.
"This time, he got angry. He scolded me for not knowing what was good for me and threatened that I was courting death. But in the end, he said that he would give me another chance.
"On the third day, I still didn't give him the circular ring. He finally took action and released a bangle to wrap around my neck…"
"Wait," interrupted Su Jingxing. "You said that your uncle from the capital also has a circular ring in his possession?"
"Yes!"
Shen Qian gritted her teeth and said, "He also has one in his possession. It's exactly the same as the one I once had!
"At that time, I thought that he had gotten the circular ring I lost.
"But the truth was he hadn't. It was another one. The ancestors of the Shen Family had passed down a total of two circular rings. One was left in the capital, and the other was brought to Qinghe City by my grandfather.
"I gave the one in Qinghe City to my younger brother. It was lost because of the Shi Family.
"The one in the capital, however, has been preserved until today and has fallen into the hands of that uncle. He came to me because he wanted to gather both of them. According to him, the two circular rings can fuse into one to give powerful strength, the kind that can kill even martial artists in the top ranks.
"He wrapped the ring around my neck until I stopped breathing and passed out. When I woke up, he left a message saying that he doesn't see the circular ring the next time we meet, he won't show any mercy. He would take my life.
"'"'I can feel that he's not lying. If I still can't produce the circular ring tomorrow morning, he will really kill me!"
At the end of her sentence, Shen Qian's voice trembled and her body shuddered.
The blood drained from her face as fear filled her eyes.
Clearly, she had not forgotten the feeling of suffocation and passing out.
She didn't want to experience that feeling again.
"I… I thought about escaping."
Shen Qian said in a trembling voice, "But he left a hidden fragrance on me. No matter where I hide, he can find me.
"I… I don't want to die, so… so I contacted you to make a deal."
"Kill your uncle?" Su Jingxing continued. "That's right!" Shen Qian took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Since he wants my life, why can't I take his? Although I'm not his match, I believe that you can do it!
"As long as you help me kill him, the circular ring in his possession will be yours. I will also search for the lost one. Once I find it, I will also hand it to you."
"Heh…" Su Jingxing chuckled but did not agree immediately.
Seeing this, Shen Qian gritted her teeth and said, "Other than the ring, it also in… includes me! As long as you kill him, I'm willing… willing to serve Senior from now on and be your love…"
"Enough," Su Jingxing cut her off irritably. "If I wanted to sleep with you, do you think you can escape?"
Shen Qian lowered her head, her face flushed red. She did not dare to speak again.
That's right, if Su Jingxing wanted to sleep with her, Shen Qian alone would not be able to resist.
Of course, if Su Jingxing really wanted that, Shen Qian would not be against it.
It wasn't that she was lecherous or liked Su Jingxing because he was handsome.
It was purely because Su Jingxing was powerful enough and not too old. Judging from his voice, he was probably in his thirties or forties.
Sleeping with such an expert for a night wouldn't be a loss for her. If she could build a relationship with him because of this, she would have a backer in the future.
To Shen Qian, she was the only one left after her family was destroyed. What she lacked the most was a sense of security.
After the Stone Annihilation Alliance was disbanded, she took the lead and reorganized a group of people. They were willing to work for Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing had always traded with them. Every time they completed a mission, he would give them a large sum of money. But deep down, Shen Qian had always wanted to serve Su Jingxing for free and receive his protection.
For an ordinary person, this was a huge opportunity.
If she could improve her relationship with Su Jingxing, Shen Qian would not be against it.
Now that he said it, she was even a little happy.
She became even more embarrassed.
Although he did not say anything else, the atmosphere became inexplicably ambiguous.
Su Jingxing was speechless.
"You're not my type."
Su Jingxing reminded irritably, shaking his head. "So, please don't think too much."
IIII
If she didn't know how powerful Su Jingxing was, she would have flown into a rage.
Are you looking down on me?
Not your type?
Heh heh!
Even though Shen Qian was never narcissistic, she had always maintained her face and figure very well. She was very feminine.
It was possible that Su Jingxing didn't like her type.
But not wanting to sleep with her, heh heh!
"Cough…"
Su Jingxing coughed lightly. His voice was infused with true energy and shook one's mind.
Shen Qian, who was letting her imagination run wild, shuddered and sobered up abruptly. Immediately, her face turned even redder.
Su Jingxing couldn't be bothered to argue with her. "What realm is your uncle in? Does he have any helpers?"
"What… what realm? I don't know."
Shen Qian held back her embarrassment and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen a single helper. Every time he comes to me, he's alone."
"In that case… Hmm?".
Suddenly, Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and stopped in his tracks. "Is that him?"
"Wh… What?" Shen Qian was puzzled and looked up at Su Jingxing.
She saw Su Jingxing look ahead and lifted her head to look into the distance. She saw a familiar figure standing by the river, staring at her.
Instantly, her face turned pale. "That's right, it's him!"
"Why is he here?"
"It's obvious that he has been following you." Su Jingxing chuckled. His powerful perception allowed him to sense the other party's aura from a hundred meters away.
He isn't in the top ranks!
The aura of true essence was very special. If one did not deliberately disguise or conceal it, it was very easy for people of the same realm to sense it.
Even though Shen Qian's uncle had also concealed his aura, it was not thorough enough.
Ordinary martial artists might not be able to sense it, but Su Jingxing could.
Fourth-grade!
A fourth-grade expert targeted Shen Qian who was an ordinary person. It's indeed been hard on her.
"This bastard…" Shen Qian gritted her teeth, her expression becoming extremely ugly.
"What a coincidence."
The uncle, who was of medium build and had a thin and long face, walked over slowly when he saw that Shen Qian had spotted him. "My good niece, you're very free at night, aren't you. You came for a walk by the river with a friend. What's your friend's name?"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Shen Qian said through gritted teeth, "What do you mean by this? Didn't I say I'll give it to you tomorrow morning?"
"Hehe, I was just afraid that you would be in danger, my dear niece."
The uncle chuckled. "Or perhaps you've been cheated. As your uncle, I have to help you out no matter what, right?"
"By the way, I'm Shen Tang. May I know your name?"
He looked at Su Jingxing, his eyes shining.
"Shen Qian said that if I kill you, I'll get the treasure in your possession."
Instead of answering, Su Jingxing asked, "What do you think about that?"
Swish!
Shen Qian's face turned pale. She didn't expect Su Jingxing to say this directly.
Shen Tang was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "No problem!"
Buzz!
The air suddenly vibrated.
A huge translucent palm imprint suddenly appeared out of thin air. It covered Shen Tang and pressed him to the ground, creating a pit.
More than half of his bones were broken, and Shen Tang, who was spurting blood, was sprawled at the bottom of the pit, dumbfounded!

Chapter 273 Why! (1)
Really!
Shen Tang had never taken Shen Qian seriously.
If not for the circular ring, he wouldn't even bother to look at her.
The Shen Family was a family with a history of many years and had successfully gained a foothold in the capital.
Back then, when Shen Qian's grandfather left and moved to Qinghe City, he basically had nothing to do with the Shen Family anymore.
To put it simply, Shen Tang represented the direct line, while Shen Qian represented the collateral line.
It would be a disgrace to the Shen Family for such a marginal figure to be called a Shen.
Because of this, Shen Tang thought nothing of Shen Qian.
After arriving at Qinghe City, he did a series of investigations. She was the only one left after her family died.
At that time, Shen Tang did not even have the thought of taking revenge. Even though the culprit who caused the destruction of their family, the Shi Family, had already perished,
Shen Tang did not feel anything.
He had come to Qinghe City only for the circular ring.
As for the fate of Shen Qian's family, it had nothing to do with him.
For an ordinary office worker like Shen Qian, the best connections she could have were ninth-grade martial artists.
Would Shen Tang be afraid of a ninth-grade martial artist?
What a joke.
Therefore, when Su Jingxing said that he wanted to kill him and take the circular ring, not only was Shen Tang not afraid, he even felt like laughing
However, a palm strike suddenly fell from the sky, smashing Shen Tang to the ground and creating a huge pit. Shen Tang was severely injured. He did not expect this at all.
This sudden change caused Shen Tang to feel intense pain all over her body. However, he momentarily forgot about the pain and his mind went blank.
I am the Second Master of the capital's Shen Family, the next patriarch of the Shen Family, a fourth-grade expert, Shen Tang.
I was actually struck to the ground and sunk into a pit?
I'm a fourth-grade expert!
How could I be defenseless?
No, more like I didn't sense anything from the beginning to the end.
How…
How did this happen?
Third-grade?
Yes, third-grade!
The cloaked man is a third-grade martial artist!
Shen Qian actually knows a third-grade expert and was able to get him to help her!
This damn b*stard, she actually, actually…
"Ah! Ha! Ha!"
Intense pain swept through his entire body. Shen Tang finally recovered from his shock, confusion, disbelief, and anger. He opened her mouth to scream, but his injuries were too severe. His blood and Qi surged, and he couldn't even howl. All he could do was stifle a low snarl that sounded like he was panting.
His wide eyes were bloodshot. He raised his head stiffly and stared at Su Jingxing.
"You… you…"
"You were the one who said that it's no problem," said Su Jingxing calmly. He continued, "You already said that there would be no problem. Of course I have to fulfill your wish, right?"
"Pu!"
Shen Tang coughed up a mouthful of blood. The vital energy in his body weakened once again.
The three of them were in an area far away from the crowd.
Although the sound from earlier had attracted the attention of a few people in the distance, as there was no follow-up, they only took a few glances before looking away.
As a result, no one bothered Su Jingxing, Shen Qian, and Shen Tang.
No one cared whether Shen Tang growled or spat blood.
Shen Qian, who was the only one who was shocked and stunned, almost clapped her hands in joy when she came back to her senses.
Over the past few days, Shen Tang's coercion, bribery, and undisguised cold killing intent had tortured her physically and mental. She was fearful, terrified, and uneasy, wishing she could end her own life.
Su Jingxing's palm had expelled all the gloom in her heart.
"What is the circular ring?"
She took a deep breath and ran over. Looking at Shen Tang, she asked, "Why is it that none of you came to look for it all these years, yet you appeared these few days?" "Cough, cough…"
Shen Tang coughed up blood and said with difficulty, "You… you think I'll tell you?"
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me." Su Jingxing interrupted. "I'm giving you a chance to speak and leave behind your last words. Since you don't want to speak, fine. I can send you to meet the ancestors of your Shen Family."
As he spoke, the true energy transformed from the true essence in his palm swirled and was aimed at Shen Tang's head.
In an instant, a terrifying sense of danger enveloped him. Shen Tang, who still wanted to be stubborn, surrendered.
"No, no, I'll speak, I'll speak!"
He could sense that Su Jingxing wasn't joking. He really wanted to kill him.
Compared to his life, a moment of cowardice and shame was nothing.
"I'll speak, I'll speak."
Shen Tang panted and said with difficulty, "Once I do, let me off! If you don't agree, then kill me. I'll die anyway!"
Su Jingxing looked at Shen Qian.
"…Sure." Shen Qian gritted her teeth. "As long as you tell me the truth, I won't kill
you."
Shen Tang slowed down his breathing and spoke slowly.
"S-Someone came to me and told me about it. He said that one of the Shen family's two circular rings is in Qinghe City. That person provided me with your information and the relevant situation.
"After I came over and investigated, I realized that it was indeed the case, so I had the idea to capture you and take back the circular ring."
"Who is that person?" asked Shen Qian.
"Zhang Zaiyue!"
"Zhang Zaiyue?" Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. "Is this person from the Sky Water Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes." Shen Tang nodded. "Zhang Zaiyue, the previous president of the Sky Water Chamber of Commerce, a fourth-grade martial artist. Five years ago, after he stepped down from his position as president, he went to the capital. I got to know him by chance. After interacting from time to time over the past few years, our relationship has been pretty good. A few days ago, he said that he received news that one of the Shen Family's two circular rings appeared in Qinghe City and gave me information about Shen Qian. After that, I secretly investigated and realized that it was true…"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Su Jingxing's figure swayed and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he had another person in his hand.
Su Jingxing grabbed the other party's neck with one hand and held him in midair. He said, "Is this guy one of yours or Zhang Zaiyue's?"
Shen Tang was stunned. Shen Qian was also a little dazed.
Too fast!
Su Jingxing disappeared and reappeared in less than three seconds.
And he came back with a person.
Shen Qian had no impression of this old man who was being held by his neck.
On the other hand, when Shen Tang came back to his senses, his expression was ugly. He growled, "He's one of Zhang Zaiyue's men! The old fellow is Zhang Zaiyue's lackey. I've seen him from afar twice! He's nearby? The old fellow is monitoring me? D*mn it, there's something wrong with Zhang Zaiyue!"
"Don't you think it's too late to realize that now?" asked Su Jingxing coolly.
The old fellow had concealed his aura and vital energy completely.
He had most likely cultivated some secret concealment ability.
As a result, Shen Qian did not realize. Shen Tang, who was in the fourth-grade, also did not notice for a while.
However, Su Jingxing's soul power was powerful and his perception range was wide. When the old fellow appeared in the small forest across the river, he sensed it immediately.
He was monitoring Shen Tang and himself at the same time.
There was clearly something wrong!
"What does Zhang Zaiyue want? What does he want?"
Shen Tang murmured, shame and anger appearing on his pale face.
He was unaware that the old fellow had appeared. What did this mean?
This meant that he had been under their surveillance for the past few days.
A dignified fourth-grade expert was actually being followed and monitored by a seventh-grade martial artist without knowing
He, a fourth-grade martial artist, had been completely humiliated!

Chapter 274 The Truth! (1)
That's right, the old man who tailed Shen Tang was only in the seventh-grade.
Shen Tang had even personally asked Zhang Zaiyue before.
Why did he take in such a low-grade martial artist as his follower?
At that time, Shen Tang had even mocked Zhang Zaiyue.
He took in anyone.
Now he understood that he ought to be the one being mocked.
The old man's ability to conceal himself was too impressive.
So impressive that even he, a fourth-grade martial artist, could not detect it.
Zhang Zaiyue was lucky to have the old man as his follower.
"Huff… Huff…"
Shen Tang panted and looked up at the old man in Su Jingxing's arms with difficulty. He questioned through gritted teeth, "Zhang Zaiyue told you to follow me, what are you monitoring?"
The old man kicked his feet and grabbed Su Jingxing's arm with both hands. He kept struggling, but it was useless.
Shen Tang's question was ignored.
While struggling, he suddenly stomped his feet and black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He was no longer breathing
"Killed himself?"
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and relaxed his grip. He allowed the old man's corpse to slide to the ground and extracted a card.
"He's d-dead?" Shen Qian's face turned pale. "He committed s*icide by taking poison?"
"D*mn it!"
Shen Tang snarled indignantly, clenching his fists.
"You can die too."
Su Jingxing lifted his leg and it landed heavily.
"No, no, no. You promised me that you would let me off once I spoke," Shen Tang shouted in fear.
Bang!
With a dull thud, he stepped on Shen Tang's back and he stopped breathing.
"Shen Qian was the one who promised you, not me."
Su Jingxing extracted another card and squatted down to search Shen Tang's corpse.
As expected, he found a circular ring on him.
Compared to the photos, the real thing was even more mysterious. The patterns on it were full of mysteries.
"Not too bad."
Su Jingxing stood up with the circular ring in his hand and said coolly to the stunned Shen Qian, "Find the other ring as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." Shen Qian snapped out of her daze and hurriedly nodded. "I'll definitely find it as soon as possible."
"Contact me immediately after you find it. Before that, find a place and hide yourself."
With that, Su Jingxing picked up the two corpses and soared into the night sky, disappearing into the horizon. Although Shen Qian could still call the crematorium to deal with the corpses if he had left them behind, since this concerned the Shen Family in the capital, the crematorium would register the information. Once the Shen Family in the capital learned that Shen Tang had died in Qinghe City, there was a 99% chance that they would come to Qinghe City to cause trouble for Shen Qian.
Since he had agreed to the deal, Su Jingxing didn't mind going all the way and helping to get rid of future troubles.
Shen Tang had secretly come to look for Shen Qian. Now, he was dead and the person monitoring him was also dead.
Apart from Zhang Zaiyue, no one knew that Shen Tang's death was related to Shen Qian.
As long as he could find Zhang Zaiyue and kill him, all future troubles would be resolved.
Of course, it would be best if he could figure out Zhang Zaiyue's motive for inducing Shen Tang.
Su Jingxing had never seen Zhang Zaiyue before. All he knew was his name and photo, which he had seen online.
He didn't know how long it would take to search for Zhang Zaiyue blindly.
But that would be different if his location was deduced using the secret heavenly arts.
Although the Six Comets Records that Yue Dongliu intentionally left behind had been tampered, Su Jingxing had seen his memories of tampering with it. By avoiding the hidden branches, he could easily circulate the Six Comets Records.
He would use the Six Comets Records to divine Zhang Zaiyue's hiding place before going to him.
That would save time and effort.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. After burning the two corpses to ashes, he took out the two cards he had extracted and quickly read them.
He had extracted a Skill Card from Shen Tang.
It recorded a martial art called the Brilliant Sun Fist, which was of a very high grade.
Unsurprisingly, it was the ultimate technique of the Shen Family in the capital.
Su Jingxing looked at it for a while and put it away temporarily. He was in no hurry to unlock and absorb it.
Then there was the card from the old man, a Memory Card.
Su Jingxing unlocked it and read the contents. His expression froze.
The Memory Card contained 40 years of the old man's memories!
This included how his family was in ruins, how he was homeless, how he was rescued by Zhang Zaiyue, and how he pledged his life and loyalty to Zhang Zaiyue. With Zhang Zaiyue's support, he cultivated martial arts and became a martial artist. Among them, he was best at concealment and tracking.
For nearly 20 years, relying on this martial art, Fu Zhengquan, the old man, had helped Zhang Zai stalk dozens of people. Each time, he had successfully completed his mission.
As long as the target wasn't an expert in the top ranks, Fu Zhengquan could follow and monitor them from afar without anyone noticing
This time, he was unlucky to have met Su Jingxing and was caught.
In the past, Fu Zhengquan had never failed when stalking a fourth-grade martial artist.
He followed Shen Tang to keep an eye on him meeting with other people.
Mainly Shen Qian!
Or rather, the circular rings in Shen Tang and Shen Qian's possession.
Fu Zhengquan's real target was the Shen Family's circular rings.
This was also Zhang Zaiyue's goal–to get the Shen Family's two circular rings.
In fact, there were more than two such rings. There were a total of nine of them!
They had a nice name, the Nine Soul Rings.
According to what Fu Zhengquan had heard from Zhang Zaiyue, the Nine Soul Rings was a rare treasure that had disappeared for a thousand years. It was a powerful weapon in the mental and soul aspect.
By combining two rings, one could ignore the pressure of Martial Art True Intent.
The fusion of three rings could defeat Martial Art True Intent.
When four rings were combined, the explosive power could disintegrate Martial Art True Intent.
In short, the more rings there were, the stronger the combined power would be.
If one could gather all nine rings, the power he would release would be enough to defeat a Martial Sage!
This was what Fu Zhengquan had heard from Zhang Zaiyue. Whether it was true or false, there was no way to know.
The Nine Soul Rings had disappeared for too long Moreover, more than a thousand years ago, the nine rings had been separated. No one knew where they were.
Zhang Zaiyue had also learned of the existence of the Nine Soul Rings by chance and obtained one of them.
Then, he dug deeper and learned the whereabouts of the remaining eight bangles.
Two were with the Shen Family, two were with Si Wujiu from the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, and one was with the Li Family. The Li Family of Qinghe City!
That's right. Si Wujiu's motive in attacking the Li Family and putting on an act the last time was to lure out something.
Now, Su Jingxing knew what it was.
So Zhang Zai knew about Si Wujiu's existence, and Si Wujiu also knew about Zhang Zaiyue's existence.
No, to be precise, Si Wujiu knew that someone was plotting to get the Nine Soul Rings!
He didn't know who it was, so he pretended to attack the Li Family.
What was the most important treasure of the Li Family?
It was not the Seven Calamities Wheel Mantra, but a circular ring that Emperor Yu had bestowed to Li Nongtang.
In order to unleash the full potential of the Nine Soul Rings, not a single one could be excluded.
Si Wujiu pretended to attack the Li Family because he wanted to send a message to the person who was scheming to get the Nine Soul Rings that he was also seizing them.
This was to force out the mastermind, to alert the enemy.
Yet.
Never in his wildest dreams would Si Wujiu expect this.
Although Zhang Zaiyue was shocked by him, he did not approach the Li Family or Si Wujiu. Instead, he induced Shen Tang to come to Qinghe City to look for Shen Qian.
What he was plotting to get weren't the circular rings in the hands of the Li Family and Si Wujiu, but the double rings of the Shen Family!

Chapter 275 Aah Ooh! (1)
Compared to Shen Tang, Zhang Zaiyue's understanding of Shen Qian was much deeper.
Shen Qian was indeed just an ordinary office worker.
But last year, apart from being an office worker, Shen Qian was also a core member of the Stone Annihilation Alliance.
She shared a close relationship with the fourth-grade expert, the Guest Elder Lin who had wiped out the Shi Family!
In Fu Zhengquan's memories, Zhang Zaiyue was very wary of Guest Elder Lin.
It was also because of Guest Elder Lin that Zhang Zaiyue did not dare to make a move on Shen Qian directly, and instead, made use of Shen Tang.
If not for the potential threat of Guest Elder Lin, Zhang Zaiyue would have come in personally and forced Shen Qian to hand over the circular ring.
After Shen Tang came to Qinghe City, Zhang Zaiyue's mission to Fu Zhengquan, apart from keeping an eye on Shen Tang, was also to find Guest Elder Lin.
Guest Elder Lin was too mysterious.
Ever since the destruction of the Shi Family, he had disappeared without a trace and no one had seen him again.
Zhang Zaiyue's style of doing things had always been planning before acting.
Unless he was absolutely certain, he would not make a move.
The two matters of watching Shen Tang and finding Guest Elder Lin became the key.
For so many years, Fu Zhengquan had never failed. Zhang Zaiyue was confident in him.
Now that Fu Zhengquan had failed and half of his memories were read by Su Jingxing, Zhang Zaiyue had reached his end too.
Su Jingxing learned about his character, as well as some dirty secrets, including his residence in Qinghe City.
Originally, he had wanted to use the heavenly secret arts to deduce his location. Now that Fu Zhengquan's memories were out, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Putting aside the fact that Zhang Zaiyue was the mastermind and had to be killed, just the fact that he had a circular ring in his possession meant that Su Jingxing had to take care of him.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing quickly got up and rushed to Zhang Zaiyue's residence.
He soared into the sky and put on his cloak and mask while on the way.
His direction of flight, the Southern District!
Qinghe City, Southern District.
In the innermost corner of a luxurious villa estate, on the balcony of a single villa, Zhang Zaiyue, who was dressed in casual wear, laid on a recliner. He held a glass of wine in his hand and looked at the moonlight, patiently waiting for the good news.
"Elder Fu should be back by now."
Zhang Zaiyue leisurely took a sip of wine and said excitedly, "Two from the Shen Family, one from the Li Family, and two from Si Wujiu. Including the one in my hand, that makes six. Gathering six of the Nine Soul Rings is enough.
"What a pity. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the two in Si Wujiu's hands." Zhang Zaiyue sighed.
Si Wujiu was a third-grade martial artist. It was too difficult and unrealistic to plot against the circular rings in his possession.
"Pity? It is indeed a pity."
A voice broke the silence.
"Who's there?!"
Zhang Zaiyue's pupils constricted. He jumped up from his reclining position. "You're being so sneaky. I wonder…"
Buzz!
The air surged as a terrifying suppression descended from the sky and covered the entire villa.
This frightening suppressive force was like a mountain pressing down on Zhang Zaiyue's body. He did not even last three seconds before he fell to his knees on the ground. Finally, he fell flat on his face, unable to move.
The invisible but substantial pressure even made it difficult for him to catch his breath.
And this was done on purpose by Su Jingxing.
He was in the fourth-grade, and lived in a high-end villa estate, there was no need to attract the attention of others.
Su Jingxing landed lightly and came to Zhang Zaiyue's side. He looked down at him and said, "President Zhang, what a good plan."
"S-Senior, please spare me."
Zhang Zaiyue struggled to speak, his face filled with suppressed anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know… I don't know how I offended you. I hope you can forgive me. If possible, please tell me. I am willing to apologize and I will definitely satisfy you."
"That's great." Su Jingxing chuckled. "I don't want anything else but your life."
Zhang Zaiyue's body trembled. He shouted in grief and indignation, "W-why!"
"Why?" Su Jingxing released his perception to make sure that no one was paying attention here. He said in a low voice, "You've already sent people to look for me. Why are you still asking?"
"Look… Look for you?" Zhang Zaiyue was puzzled. "You a-are…" "Guest Elder Lin. You guys call me Guest Elder Lin," said Su Jingxing coolly.
Buzz!
Zhang Zaiyue felt dizzy and his mind went blank.
Guest Elder Lin!
It's actually the mysterious Guest Elder Lin!
The missing Guest Elder Lin who destroyed the Shi Family!
This Guest Elder Lin is actually in the third-grade! He was in the fourth-grade last year, but already advanced to the third-grade this year!
Zhang Zaiyue would never have thought that the Guest Elder Lin he instructed his men to search for had already become an expert in the top ranks.
Now that Guest Elder Lin had come knocking on his door, it was obvious that Elder Fu had already gone ahead to meet his ancestors.
Fear, despair, and shock overwhelmed him. Zhang Zaiyue, whose thoughts were in turmoil, suddenly sobered up. He sprawled on the ground and howled with difficulty.
"Guest Elder Lin, please spare my life, please spare my life! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. As long as you spare my life, I am willing to work like an ox for you. From now on, I will listen to your orders and I am willing to…"
Bang!
With a dull thud, Zhang Zaiyue's words came to an abrupt halt.
Su Jingxing crushed Zhang Zaiyue's heart with a stomp and extracted a card.
Su Jingxing squatted down and searched Zhang Zaiyue's body for the circular ring he carried with him. Then, he released his true energy and wrapped it around Zhang Zaiyue's corpse. He leaped into the air and disappeared into the night.
He found a remote corner and released his true energy to incinerate Zhang Zaiyue's corpse.
Su Jingxing returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain. On the way, he took out the card he had extracted from Zhang Zaiyue's corpse and held it in his palm to read the information.
Deduction Card!
Three deduction chances, each of them with a 50% success rate.

Chapter 276 Aah Ooh! (2)
I couldn't tell that Zhang Zaiyue was a genius who created his own martial arts.
Su Jingxing had no idea what kind of martial arts he had created. Since it wasn't a Memory Card, he had no way of knowing.
Of course, he was already very satisfied with this Deduction Card.
He was in need of a Deduction Card to deduce martial arts and secret abilities.
Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing took out two rings he had obtained and examined them carefully. He believed that someone must already have tried burning and boiling them long ago.
Same thing with channeling internal force and true energy.
Even if it was true essence, there were probably people who had tried it.
Of course, just in case, Su Jingxing still held the rings in his hand and released his true essence to envelop them, waiting for a reaction.
Nothing abnormal happened.
The rings ignored the true essence.
All that was left was a mental examination and even integration into the rings.
From the name, one could tell how special the Nine Soul Rings were.
Su Jingxing condensed his mental power and slowly wrapped it around the rings before penetrating in.
No!
He had no problem with wrapping around the rings but he could not penetrate them and find out the secrets.
It was not that Su Jingxing did not have enough soul power, but there was an invisible and colorless energy layer protecting the surface of the two rings.
Without breaking this layer of energy membrane or removing it, it was impossible to grasp them.
"Melt using true essence?"
Su Jingxing stopped and looked at the circular rings, deep in thought.
With the protection of the energy layer, it was safest to melt it with true essence. But that also consumed true essence and time.
"Oh yes, I'll ask Brother Goose for help!"
Suddenly, Su Jingxing recalled the big white goose's innate ability to make all hidden existences appear under its fluorescent glow.
It had been a while since he last saw the big white goose.
This was a good opportunity to go catch up. With the help of the big white goose, he could save most of his energy and time.
With this in mind.
Su Jingxing put away the two circular rings, ate an Essence Energy Pill, and headed out again. He soared into the sky and flew towards the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Under the night sky, his figure streaked across the sky like a wild goose.
It was dark when he arrived at the big white goose's valley.
This didn't affect Su Jingxing at all. He activated his secret ability, Night Vision. Once he entered the valley, he looked down and scanned the valley to search for the big white goose.
"Brother Goose, I'm here. Where are you?"
Infusing true energy into his voice, it echoed in the valley.
Su Jingxing shouted as he searched for the big white goose.
However, after shouting for a long time and searching the entire valley three times, the big white goose was nowhere to be seen.
He did not see the big white goose the last time he was here, and neither did he this time.
Did the big white goose move locations?
Su Jingxing stopped searching and floated in the air, deep in thought.
The big white goose is missing, and it will be quite troublesome to find it.
Ask the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf?
The two of them have a good relationship. If the big white goose had moved, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf would know where it was, right?
With this in mind, Su Jingxing's figure flashed and soared into the sky, flying towards the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf's lair.
The night wind blew, circling the sky.
Su Jingxing rushed to the air above the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf's lair at his fastest speed and called out, "Brother Wolf."
His voice was also infused with true energy, allowing the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf to hear him clearly.
As expected, in less than ten seconds, a figure charged into the sky.
A pair of silver wings was especially dazzling and eye-catching under the moonlight.
Aah ooh!
Seeing that it was Su Jingxing, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf's eyes lit up. It lifted its head and let out a long, low growl. Aah ooh, aah ooh-!
"Haha, I missed you too. You didn't recognize me the last time I saw you," said Su Jingxing with a smile. "How about this, I'll show you my…"
Aah ooh! Aah ooh! Aah ooh!
However, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf suddenly began shouting. As it cried, it flapped its wings and jumped up and down to send a message.
Su Jingxing understood what it meant. His expression changed and he asked in a low voice, "You said that Brother Goose has been captured?"
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf nodded hard, bared its teeth, and growled angrily. Aah ooh~!
"They used poison huh?" said Su Jingxing grimly. "The other party used poison to force you to escape and then captured Brother Goose. Very good!" "Brother Wolf, don't worry. I'll get Brother Goose back."
Aah ooh! The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf flew up and down, flapping its wings and growled with the same hatred.
"Sure, you'll come with me," Su Jingxing said.
The big white goose had actually been captured. No wonder he hadn't seen it on the last two occasions.
Had it not been for the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf, Su Jingxing wouldn't have known that the big white goose had fallen into someone else's hands.
Compared to the others, the big white goose was very helpful to him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the most important.
Now that the big white goose had fallen into the hands of humans, Su Jingxing had to save it no matter what.
save
But the question was, who had captured it?
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf was forced to escape and did not give chase. It did not know where the big white goose had been taken.
To save the big white goose, he had to know where it was first.
Looking for the unknown?
Oh right, divination!
Su Jingxing had originally wanted to cultivate Yue Dongliu's Six Comets Records, but he had set it down after obtaining the Memory Card. Now, it seemed that there was no escaping it.
He would cultivate the Six Comets Records and find out where the big white goose was!
"Brother Wolf, keep guard for me. I have to do something before I go look for Brother Goose."
Su Jingxing called out to the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf as he pulled up the information of the Six Comets Records in his mind.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf nodded cooperatively and flew ahead, leading Su Jingxing to a hidden empty space.
After landing, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf guarded the surroundings. Su Jingxing sat down on a smooth stone in the empty space and cultivated the Six Comets Records.
Yue Dongliu had tampered with the Six Comets Records, and he had to correct the wrongs before he cultivated it.
After two hours, Su Jingxing began cultivating
The cultivation of heavenly secret arts depended on the key of the arts and the strength of the person's soul power.
If one's soul power was powerful, his cultivation speed would be much faster. Of course, perception and comprehension ability were also essential.
In this aspect, Su Jingxing's soul power had become much stronger than before.
Therefore, his cultivation of the Six Comets Records progressed very quickly.
It only took him two days to reach the introductory stage.
As soon as he did, Su Jingxing took out a feather that had once fallen from the big white goose. Using the feather as a medium, he divined the location of the big white goose.
When one cultivated the heavenly secret arts to a high level, divination and deduction could be carried without the need for a medium.
Su Jingxing was only in the introductory stage, so a medium was necessary. The Six Comets Records was left behind by Yue Dongliu. Even though he had tampered with it, its level was extremely high, and its elaboration of the heavenly secret arts was extremely profound.
Otherwise, Lu Wuchang wouldn't have specially come to Qinghe City for it.
Given Lu Wuchang's terrifying intuition talent, the tricks Yue Dongliu had done with the Six Comets Records would be completely ineffective.
By now, Lu Wuchang had pretty much mastered the Six Comets Records.
Su Jingxing was doing divination when he had just reached the introductory stage, so it consumed the most soul power, but he couldn't care less now.
The big white goose had been captured for more than a month. If he still did not rescue it, who knew what it would become.
If he was forcefully tamed, it would be too late for Su Jingxing to cry.
I have to end this quickly!
Great consumption of soul power, so be it.
At the introductory stage, circulating the Six Comets Records consumed a large amount of soul power every second.
However, the effect was very obvious. In a few moments, he locked onto the location.
Qinghe City!
The big white goose was captured and brought to Qinghe City.
Keep going deeper, northwards…
No, to be precise, it was the Northern District of Qinghe City.
The map of Qinghe City's Northern District that had materialized in his mind zoomed in bit by bit and locked onto the final destination.
He got closer and closer.
Finally, when Su Jingxing felt a sharp pain in his head and had to stop, he successfully locked onto the big white goose's exact location.
The Qi Family's residence!
The big white goose was actually in the Qi residence.
The Qi Family, who made a name for themselves and gained a foothold by taming beasts, and became one of the five major martial arts families.
The big white goose had actually been captured by the Qi Family. On second thought, the Qi Family was indeed the most likely candidate.
The big white goose was a Spiritual Beast. If someone from the Qi Family saw it, they would definitely want it.
Since forcefully capturing it wouldn't work, they knocked it out first.
Given the Qi Family's attainments in beast taming and research, these methods were probably frequently used.
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf managed to escape thanks to its speed.
The big white goose was at a disadvantage in this aspect. Although it could fly, it couldn't fly very fast and had a higher chance of getting caught. "Brother Wolf, I found Brother Goose."
After resting for a moment and recovering a little, Su Jingxing got up and called out to the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf, "Let's go and bring Brother Goose back together."
Aah ooh!

Chapter 277 Making An Example (1)
Qinghe City
The City Defense Surveillance Center.
In the spacious hall, dozens of staff members operated each other's computers. Through cameras, monitors, and drones, they scanned the surroundings of Qinghe City repeatedly, the movements on all sides, as well as the major roads and areas in the city.
Including the flow speed of the Sky Water River and abnormalities in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
The Green Cloud Mountain Range especially, was an important area to be monitored. There were people watching it at every moment.
The ground and the air, they were always on guard.
It had been two years since Jiang Haixuan joined the surveillance center as an observer.
For the past two years, as long as it was during working hours, she did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
Although this job was very boring, it concerned the safety of the entire Qinghe City. She remained focused on the computer screen.
It was the same today. After the daily inspection of the surveillance cameras was completed, just as she was about to start over, a small black dot suddenly appeared on one of the images.
It was a small black dot in the air.
as a sn
Jiang Haixuan's eyes lit up. She controlled the mouse to zoom in on the image. Then, she continued to zoom in until she could get a clear look of what it was.
A giant wolf with wings! Mutated Beast?
Such a big Mutated Beast?
Веер!
Without any hesitation, Jiang Haixuan pressed the alarm and sent the information to her superior.
In less than five seconds, her superior's voice sounded in her headphones. "Project the image onto the big screen."
"Yes," replied Jiang Haixuan as she quickly tapped on the keyboard. She projected the image to the large screen formed with a dozen wide screens at the front of the hall.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the giant wolf on the screen. They were shocked and startled.
"Mutated Beast? Such a big Mutated Beast, it can't be a Beast King, could it?"
"It's flying towards the city. It's flying towards Qinghe City."
"Tss! Such a big Mutated Beast, its strength is definitely not simple. It's heading towards the city. Quick, intercept it."
"We can't intercept it! Everyone, look carefully at its back!"
A loud voice drowned out the discussions of the others and resounded through the hall.
"Its back? What's wrong with its back?"
Puzzled, Jiang Haixuan controlled the mouse and continued to zoom in.
"Ah!"
Exclamations broke out in the hall, and everyone's eyes widened.
"It's a human!"
"There's someone on this flying wolf's back!"
"It has been tamed! This flying wolf is the mount of this expert!"
"You scared me. I thought the Mutated Beast was about to invade."
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect such a powerful flying wolf to be tamed."
When they saw that there was a person on the back of the flying wolf, the tense atmosphere in the hall instantly vanished, and was replaced with envy, shock and sighs.
The director of the Center also exhaled calmly.
Although the City Defense Surveillance Center monitored the entire city and its surroundings, managing the sky, ground, and waters,
in terms of real power, it didn't have much, similar to the Civil Affairs Center.
They were all just providing service to facilitate the fastest transmission of information.
The outside of the city was fine, they just needed to monitor the areas at all times. As for inside the city, they had captured many scenes of fights and battles in the city, but after reporting them to the City Guard and Martial Suppression Office, they were merely reviewed.
Not to mention the number of surveillance cameras installed and destroyed on the alleys and paths.
As a result, as time passed, the surveillance center only monitored the inside of the city and the captured images were kept as backup.
However, surveillance outside the city was different. They were always vigilant and never relaxed.
The appearance of the flying wolf Mutated Beast made everyone in the monitoring center
nervous.
When they realized that the flying wolf Mutated Beast had been tamed, they were all relieved.
"Who is this expert? Where did he come from?"
"Do you guys think he's a fourth-grade or third-grade martial artist?"
"Probably a third-grade. This flying wolf Mutated Beast is definitely not something that a fourth-grade martial artist can defeat. Only a third-grade martial artist can take care of it."
"Tsk, looks like this expert is doing this on purpose. He's swaggering into the city."
"If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed. That's right, this flying wolf Mutated Beast isn't moving fast at all. It's flying so slowly on purpose!" "No way?"
1111
The hall became lively.
While everyone was monitoring their own screens, they stole glances at the giant wolf on the big screen and the figure on its back. They discussed excitedly in low voices.
This matter made them nervous at the very beginning. But now, there was only curiosity.
The person rode the flying wolf so slowly towards Qinghe City.
What was his motive?
It couldn't be a sightseeing trip, could it?
The director of the center listened to his subordinates' discussions with a tight frown. He suddenly thought of something and picked up his phone to make a call.
Soon, all the major factions in Qinghe City received the news.
A suspected third-grade expert was riding a silver flying wolf beast towards Qinghe City.
The Cross Star Alliance, Jade Sword Sect, Divine Fist Sect, Iron Thread Sect, Sky Water Chamber of Commerce, Green Cloud Court, Xuantian University, Martial Suppression Office, City Guard.
The Zhou, Wang, Li and Qi Families!
All the upper echelons of the major factions received the news and walked out of their homes to an empty space or their rooftops. They held their phones in their hands to receive information at any time.
10 minutes later, the monitoring center sent a message to everyone.
The flying silver wolf had entered the city!
They entered the city from the west and flew at a speed of 60 yards.
The flying direction was naturally a straight line.
Whether this unknown wolf-riding expert was passing by Qinghe City or targeting a certain faction in Qinghe City would soon be known.
The upper echelons of the various factions were nervous and expectant.
Soon, another 10 minutes passed. The upper echelons of the major factions received another piece of news.
The wolf-riding expert had passed through the Western District, halfway to the Central District, then changed directions and headed straight for the Northern District.

Chapter 278 Making An Example (2)
Instantly, the factions located in the Southern and Eastern Districts heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Moments later, their spirits rose again and looked to the north happily, waiting for news.
…
Su Jingxing, who had changed his appearance while riding on the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf, headed straight for the Qi residence under the attention of all the major factions in the city.
Deliberately getting the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf to slow down?
That's right, Su Jingxing had done it on purpose. Every city had city defense surveillance. To avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras, one had to be fast.
In the past, Su Jingxing used to go in and out of the city at lightning speed. The surveillance cameras couldn't capture him at all. Even if they did, all they got was a white shadow.
He made this trip to the Qi residence so public and high-profile to get everyone watching.
The goal was simple-–to promote the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and the big white goose.
He wanted to tell the major factions in Qinghe City that there was someone backing these two Mutated Beasts and that they should stop having ideas about them.
Su Jingxing was already in the third-grade. He did not fear any of the factions in Qinghe City.
Simply put, it was time to showcase his strength.
Now that the big white goose had been captured by the Qi Family, he could make an example out of them.
The big white goose was a Spiritual Beast, so there was basically no need to worry about it being killed.
As long as the Qi Family weren't fools, they wouldn't do such a thing.
Especially since the big white goose was very harmless and would almost never hurt anyone.
Su Jingxing was most worried that the big white goose would starve itself.
However, the physique of a Mutated Beast should be able to let it last for a few months, right?
As Su Jingxing pondered, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf had already arrived above the Qi residence.
"Qi Family, Qi Mingcheng. Greetings, Senior." A firm voice suddenly sounded.
Aah ooh-!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled lowly and stopped in midair, flapping its wings.
"Hmm?"
Su Jingxing lowered his head slightly and looked at the person who spoke. It was a middle-aged man who was standing on the roof, dressed in a martial arts uniform.
"Qi Mingcheng?"
Su Jingxing, who also had the appearance of a handsome middle-aged man, spoke coolly with his long hair fluttering and a carefree
aura.
"That's me." The middle-aged man, Qi Mingcheng, cupped his fists and bowed. "Please forgive us, Senior. We already know our mistakes. I beg you to give us a chance. This is the Qi Family's apology to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly ran over on the ground. They formed groups of two and carried boxes to the entrance of the courtyard.
After putting down the chests, they opened them to reveal their contents.
Pills, spirit herbs, energy stones, spirit weapons, and so on!
The items in the chest were actually of extraordinary value. If converted into money, they would cost at least three billion Great Yu dollars.
Su Jingxing scanned through them. He had a use for most of them.
Or rather, every martial artist in the top ranks could use these things.
This was interesting.
"What do you mean by this?" Su Jingxing asked even though he already knew the answer. He slowly released his suppression.
"This is our apolo… apology." Qi Mingcheng braced himself and answered dryly, ignoring the sweat that was rolling down his face. "Of course, there are also people who acted. Please decide their punishment on my behalf."
At the same time, another group of people jogged out of the house behind them.
Compared to before, this group of people were in pairs. Each pair carried a martial artist who was tied up to the entrance of the courtyard and put him down.
However, due to the suppression that Su Jingxing released, the closer they got to the entrance, the more difficult it was for them to walk.
When the dozen martial artists tied up were placed at the entrance, the others were also flushed red and covered in sweat. When they retreated, their eyes were filled with fear, and they did not dare to make a sound.
Including the dozen martial artists tied up kneeling at the entrance, their bodies were trembling.
And this was the result of Su Jingxing deliberately not releasing his suppression entirely.
As the patriarch of the Qi Family, even a fourth-grade martial artist like Qi Mingcheng couldn't take it, let alone them.
"This… what is going on now?" Su Jingxing's voice remained indifferent.
However, when Qi Mingcheng heard this, his heart raced. He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "Senior, they are… they are the people who did the capturing. They…"
"Waa!"
A sudden cry interrupted Qi Mingcheng's explanation.
Qi Mingcheng's expression changed drastically.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled at the right time, its gaze fixed on the open door of a room not far away.
Two martial artists were carrying a wooden stretcher with the big white goose on it. They were running towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Behind them, a little girl was crying and shouting as she chased after them. However, after a few steps, she was stopped by two women. They picked her up, covered her mouth, and ran back into the room.
Although her cries were temporarily suppressed, Su Jingxing's hearing was astonishing. He could still hear the conversation in the room.
"Little Mai, Little Mai, stop crying, stop crying."
"Stop crying, do you hear me?! If you don't want us to die, shut your mouth!"
"What are you saying? Why are you scaring Little Mai?"
"If I don't scare her, I might not even have the chance to do so later. Same goes for you, you, and you. All of us won't have a chance!"
"Alright, cut it out. No one expected things to come to this."
"That's right. Who knew that the big white goose belonged to a third-grade big shot? Now, we only hope that this third-grade powerhouse won't take his anger out on us after taking the compensation."
"What about Third Brother and the others? Are we just going to let them die?"
"Then what do you think we should do? Charge out and fight it out with a third-grade expert?!"
"I… I…"
III
"I want Da Bai[1, I want Da Bai. Boohoo!"
"Stop crying!"
Listening to the conversation with lowered voices in the room, Su Jingxing's countenance remained unchanged. He waved his hand and released his true essence, turning it into true energy that wrapped around the big white goose and flew it over.
Ga ga
The big white goose quickly approached Su Jingxing. The moment it got close, it cried out in confusion.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf growled in time, shaking its head and grinning.
Ga ga!
The big white goose flapped its wings and came in front of Su Jingxing. It carefully sensed his aura and nodded excitedly.
Clearly, it recognized Su Jingxing. Although Su Jingxing had changed his appearance, his aura was still the same as before.
On the other hand, Su Jingxing checked the big white goose and found that other than a slight fracture on its right leg, it was fine. It even seemed to be in good spirits and was not abused or imprisoned.
"Break one leg on each of them."
Su Jingxing spoke coolly as he held the big white goose.
"Y-yes."
Qi Mingcheng, who was covered in sweat and did not dare to make a sound, swallowed his saliva and waved his hand to signal the people below to take action.
Su Jingxing retracted his suppression and watched as the group of people who rushed out earlier quickly ran back and rushed to the group of people kneeling on the ground, breaking one leg on every person.
Throughout the entire process, the dozen or so people who were tied up remained silent.
Even though their faces were pale and sweat was dripping down, their bodies trembling non-stop, they knew very well that if they were to scream at this critical moment, all their efforts earlier would have been in vain.
It could be said that apart from a little girl, everyone in the Qi Family was tense and fearful, not daring to reveal anything.
When Su Jingxing changed his direction and headed towards the Northern District, the Qi Family knew that Su Jingxing's target was them.
The existence of the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf in particular directly told them that Su Jingxing had come looking for them for the big white goose.
They didn't know if Su Jingxing was a third-grade or fourth-grade martial artist, nor did they dare to take the gamble.
Time was tight, and it was too late to retreat. All that was left was to give up resisting.
If the person who came was a third-grade martial artist, choosing to fight head-on would be the stupidest method.
On the contrary, giving up resisting might give them a slim chance of survival.
In particular, the dozen or so people who had captured the big white goose had willingly come forward, volunteering to sacrifice themselves in exchange for protecting the other members of the Qi Family.
In addition, they brought out some of the Qi Family's treasures from the past hundred years. There was a certain chance that they could survive this calamity.
And the result did not disappoint them.
Su Jingxing only wanted one leg from each of the dozen people involved in the capturing.
The Qi Family was very sincere, so Su Jingxing naturally wouldn't be ruthless and exterminate them.
Initially, Su Jingxing had planned to make an example out of the Qi Family, but unexpectedly, the Qi Family had chosen to give up directly.
Besides, there was a bunch of treasures, and the big white goose was not seriously injured, so Su Jingxing only gave them a simple punishment.
Killing the innocent was not his hobby, after
all.
Swish!
He grabbed all the chests from a distance and transferred them onto the back of the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf.
Su Jingxing held the big white goose and turned to leave.
Aah ooh!
With a long howl, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf flapped its wings and flew west.
Until the man and wolf disappeared into the horizon.
Qi Mingcheng slumped on the roof, drenched.
"Finally…"
Bang!
It was also then that a gunshot suddenly broke the silence and reverberated in the air above the Qi residence.

Chapter 279 The Big White Goose's Surprise (1)
Swish!
Qị Mingcheng, who had just relaxed, suddenly reached out and grabbed a small item.
A bullet!
A sniper bullet!
A custom-made sniper bullet aimed at his head.
If it weren't for the fact that Qi Mingcheng had always been vigilant, even when he was relaxed, this bullet would have hit his brain.
Without the protective true energy covering one's entire body, a special sniper bullet would be enough to kill a fourth-grade martial artist.
Of course, this was when a fourth-grade martial artist was distracted or was disturbed by other matters.
Ordinary sneak attacks and assassinations would not kill a fourth-grade martial artist so easily.
After entering the mind-nourishing stage, a martial artist's perception would improve every day.
They were extremely sensitive in predicting danger.
Qi Mingcheng being ambushed was clearly an opportunity that the mastermind had specially found.
When Su Jingxing was around, he wouldn't look at anyone.
The moment Su Jingxing left and Qi Mingcheng relaxed, he fired!
However, Qi Mingcheng was a fourth-grade martial artist after all. He caught the bullet with his bare hand in a flash.
The next second, he leaped up and scanned his surroundings with murderous eyes.
"Found you!"
With a low shout, Qi Mingcheng flew towards a building hundreds of meters away on the right side of the manor.
On the roof, a black shadow was swiftly jumping off and escaping.
"What a coincidence. An enemy happened to come knocking on his door?"
Su Jingxing, who was listening to the commotion behind him, retracted his perception. He was slightly surprised by the ambush on Qi Mingcheng.
The ambusher's timing was perfect.
Qi Mingcheng hadn't been hit. It could only be said that he was quite powerful.
Su Jingxing sighed and shook his head, no longer paying attention.
The big white goose had been rescued, the Qi Family had also paid the price. What happened to the Qi Family afterward had nothing to do with him.
He slowed down when he came and increased his speed when he left.
Soon, Su Jingxing left Qinghe City with the big white goose and the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and headed straight for the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Back in the valley where the big white goose lived, Su Jingxing brought down the chests on the back of the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and opened them all to check them.
Su Jingxing fed everything that the big white goose could use to it. He put everything that it could not use into his palm space.
After tidying up, Su Jingxing checked the big white goose's injuries and fed it a bunch of Essence Energy Pills.
WA
After confirming that its injuries were fine, he took out the two circular rings and placed them beside the big white goose, getting it to glow.
Under the sparkling glow, the protective layer on the surface of the two rings quickly turned transparent until it disappeared, revealing the key patterns inside.
Su Jingxing took in everything and then combined them together in his mind.
After a while, his eyes lit up as he saw a burning Nine Rings Map.
The nine rings intersected and formed a circle.
Raging flames surrounded each ring, emitting terrifying energy.
The entire image seemed to be in his mind, but also seemed to be on the horizon.
However, one thing was certain–only those with abundant mental power and powerful soul power could "see" this map.
Upon seeing the Nine Rings Map, Su Jingxing instantly knew the origin of the Nine Souls
Ring.
The so-called fusion of two rings, three rings, four rings… the fusion of nine rings was merely driven by soul power to control the nine circular rings and embed them into the Nine Rings Map.
With every successful installation, the Nine Rings Map would release its corresponding power.
This was a powerful mental strength that targeted the soul.
It would be a lie to say that Su Jingxing was not excited that he had discovered this secret.
However, he quickly calmed down. According to the nine positions on the Nine Rings Map, he "placed" the two rings in the adjacent empty slots.
Buzz!
His heart skipped a beat and his hands trembled.
Su Jingxing opened his eyes and his consciousness returned. He looked at his hands.
More accurately, the circular rings he was holding in his hands.
Previously, there were two, but now, there was only one, a ring with a larger diameter and more patterns.
Two had fused into one!
Sensing the new circular ring, Su Jingxing quickly discovered that the energy fluctuations on it were extremely harmonious with his mind.
Without using his soul power, he could ignite the flames by simply concentrating on the new ring
Whoosh!
Flames that were not very big surrounded the new ring as they burned and danced.
There was clearly no heat wave, but there was an invisible aura interfering with his brain.
Under this aura, the intimidation of the Martial Art True Intent seemed to have disappeared.
A unique treasure.
It was indeed a rare treasure to have such abilities with only two rings.
"Unfortunately, there are only two. Out of the remaining seven, one was hidden somewhere by Shen Qian's younger brother. Two are in Si Wujiu's hands, one is with the Li Family, and the last three are without any clues.
"Thinking about it carefully, I only have a chance of obtaining the two in Si Wujiu's hands and the one with the Li Family.
"But the one from the Li Family is in the hands of the First Elder. The First Elder of the Li Family is mysterious and unfathomable, and no one knows where he is. Si Wujiu is a third-grade martial artist, so I'll have to take my time to plan how to snatch the ring from him."
At this point, Su Jingxing sighed with emotion. After a while, he put away the new circular ring.
"Brother Goose, I'm leaving. Are you going to stay here and recuperate by yourself, or are you coming with me? Recuperate at my house?"
asked Su Jingxing as he looked at the big white goose.
Ga ga!
The big white goose flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
As it flew, it looked back at Su Jingxing.
"Huh?" Su Jingxing was surprised. "You want me to follow you?"
Ga ga!
The big white goose chirped happily.
With an injured leg, it could not fly quickly or even fly high. It would even go crooked from time to time.
"Alright, don't go so fast. You can slow down."
Seeing this, Su Jingxing quickly followed.
Aah ooh? The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf shook its head and followed behind in confusion.
Ga ga! The big white goose chirped happily and flew in a crooked manner towards the north of the valley.

Chapter 280 The Big White Goose's Surprise (2)
Along the way, all the other animals fled in panic.
The big white goose led the way. Su Jing was in the middle, followed by the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf.
A goose, a man, and a wolf finally arrived at a cliff.
The steep cliff was hundreds of feet tall and extended for more than a thousand meters.
"There's no road ahead. Brother Goose, why did you bring me here?"
Su Jingxing was puzzled.
Ga ga!
The big white goose called out softly and continued flying to the left along the mountain wall.
Seeing this, Su Jingxing could only continue to follow.
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf wagged its tail and followed behind in boredom.
After another ten minutes, the big white goose finally stopped in front of an uneven mountain wall.
"Is there anything special here?" Su Jingxing looked around.
Swish!
The big white goose didn't respond. It only glowed and released a white light beam that shone on the mountain wall.
Then, to Su Jingxing's surprise, the mountain wall covered by the light beam quickly turned transparent. Finally, it completely disappeared, revealing a deep and quiet entrance to a cave.
Two meters tall and one meter wide.
Ga ga!
The big white goose turned its head and called out to Su Jingxing twice before flying into the cave.
Su Jingxing snapped back to his senses and followed behind it into the cave.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf also wanted to enter, but it was too big and could only fit its head inside. It couldn't help but cry out anxiously.
"Brother Wolf, keep guard outside. We'll be right out," Su Jingxing turned his head and comforted him.
Aah ooh-! Helpless, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf could only lie down at the cave entrance and shake its tail dejectedly.
Su Jingxing held back his laughter and continued moving forward. The mysterious passageway was winding and deep. Su Jingxing only kept going deeper because he trusted the big white goose. Crack, crack…
Before long, stones appeared on the ground of the passageway. Su Jingxing followed the big white goose as they walked. After a while, he suddenly realized that the width of the path had increased.
Immediately, he walked faster, heading deeper.
Crack! Crack!
After walking for about ten minutes, a cool breeze blew past. The scenery in front of Su Jingxing's eyes suddenly became brighter and bigger.
Whoosh!
What greeted his eyes was a spacious and open underground space.
The space was huge and bright.
A ray of light that shot in from somewhere illuminated the entire space well.
Not only was there good vision, there was also outstanding ventilation.
Su Jingxing stood at the entrance and could even feel a light breeze blowing towards him.
The breeze carried a hint of fragrance, as if it was the fragrance of some strange flower. While it refreshed one's mind, it also made one feel exceptionally comfortable.
"Tsk, I didn't expect there to be such strange scenery inside the mountain wall of the valley."
Su Jingxing took a deep breath and scanned the entire underground space.
A simple thatched cottage stood in the center. Ten steps away from the front door of the cottage, there was a stream about a meter wide that meandered through a few large stones. The gurgling sound of the stream echoed in the underground space, sounding extremely pleasant.
On the bank of the stream were a few water-type plants with wide leaves.
Su Jingxing watched for a moment and slowly walked towards the cottage.
"Brother Goose, does anyone live here?"
Su Jingxing shouted at the big white goose as he walked.
His voice resounded in the underground space, but there was no echo.
Ga ga!
The big white goose shook its head, flapped its wings, and pointed at the cottage.
Seeing this, Su Jingxing quickly walked up to the cottage and pushed open the wooden door.
His movements were very light, afraid of triggering any mechanism.
However, the moment he opened the door, his pupils abruptly constricted.
The thatched cottage was not very big. There were no tables, chairs or beds, only a lot of hay laid in the central area.
At this moment, a snow-white skeleton was seated motionless on the hay mat. Its empty black eye sockets were facing the door, directly facing Su Jingxing!
Su Jingxing blinked.
He was a little surprised, but not frightened.
It's just a skeleton. It's not like I've never seen one before.
After calming himself down, he walked into the house.
Sweeping his gaze, he walked to a wall on the left and took off a silver-white robe with a rather special quality hanging on the wall. Rubbing it with his hand, he found that the robe did not show any signs of spoiling. He could not help but smile. Shaking the robe to remove the dust on it, he put it into his palm space.
This robe was clearly not an ordinary piece of clothing. It was a custom-made outfit, a treasure robe.
In ancient times, there were all kinds of precious clothes.
They were for defense, support, or nurturing the mind.
The functions of the one that Su Jingxing obtained were unknown for the time being. He would put it away first.
He turned around and sized up the entire room.
In addition to the skeleton that had been dead for an unknown period of time, there were two sealed black books in a corner of the room, as well as three white jade stones that emitted a faint silver glow and were only the size of a baby's fist.
The jade looked to be of good quality, but Su Jingxing preferred the former.
Immediately, he walked over, squatted down, picked up one of the books, and wiped off the dust on it. He blew on it and opened it gently. Then, a few bold words appeared.
"Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand, a soul skill!"
A soul skill!
This black book was actually a soul skill!
Su Jingxing's eyes lit up, and his right hand trembled as he flipped through the book.
Su Jingxing never expected to pick up a soul skill after following the big white goose to this underground space.
"No, this soul skill isn't complete. There's only the upper half, and it's missing some
parts!"
Su Jingxing quickly flipped through the pages and browsed through them. The incomplete upper half.
If it were anyone else, it would really be useless.
Su Jingxing was different. He had the Deduction Card, which was enough to make up for it.
Therefore, the gains were not bad.
"Hu-_"
He took a deep breath.
After a while, Su Jingxing suppressed his racing heart, put away the book, and picked up the second one.
Just as he stood up, he suddenly sensed something and looked down at the item under the second book.
Circular rings!
Three identical, slightly rusted circular rings!
"Nine Souls Ring?!"
Exclaiming in shock, Su Jingxing turned to look at the big white goose at the door.
Ga ga! Ga ga~
The big white goose jumped up and down, honking excitedly. It seemed to be asking, are you surprised? Are you happy?
Happy, of course I'm happy.
Surprised? This is more than surprising!
He never expected that the big white goose's objective in bringing him here was to give him the circular rings.
The three unknown rings were actually in the cave in the mountain wall of the valley where the big white goose lived.
Without the big white goose leading the way, almost no one would have discovered this place.
After another thousand or 800 years, still no one would know.
Hu!
Exhaling, Su Jingxing picked up three rings and thanked the big white goose at the door. "Thank you, Brother Goose!"
Ga ga! Ga ga!
The big white goose honked excitedly.
Spiritual beasts were intelligent.
The big white goose was even more outstanding
Su Jingxing saved it, then it saw the ring, and heard Su Jingxing's sigh.
Almost immediately, the big white goose recalled the straw cottage that it had visited out of curiosity in this underground space.
The big white goose had seen the skeleton, the books, and the circular rings before.
As for opening and closing the door, it was nothing to the big white goose.
This was not a one for one, but just the big white goose's gratitude to Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing sighed with emotion.
Instead of rushing to activate the circular rings, he flipped through the second book.
The second book was not an ultimate martial art, but wrote about a martial arts theory.
One about taking the path of a pure physical body. After stepping into the fourth-grade, instead of using true fluid to nourish the mind, continue to build the body, strengthen it, and push the physical body to peak level, or even become a Martial Sage with the physical body's capabilities.
Su Jingxing flipped through the pages and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
The skeleton was undoubtedly a genius when he was alive.
This was no longer creating his own martial arts, but creating a new path.
If it succeeded, it would bring about a revolutionary change to future martial artists.
Instead of using true fluid to nourish his mind, become a Martial Sage with his physical body.
A genius, or crazy idea.
Thanks to Yue Dongliu, Su Jingxing already knew what was going on in the top ranks and the transcendent-grade.
The most important thing about a first-grade martial artist was not the diversity of Martial Art True Intent or the abundance of true essence.
Instead, it was condensing a Divine Embryo!
Only by condensing a Divine Embryo could an Essence Soul be born.
Yet this skeleton sought to replace the Essence Soul with the physical body when it was alive!

Chapter 281 Straight Into the Soul! (1)
When the skeleton was alive, it thought that the body contained endless treasures. Currently, the known degree of development, even in the first-grade, was less than 1%.
If one could continuously excavate and deepen to develop 10%, 20%, 30% of the human body… the power that erupted definitely won't be inferior to that of a Martial Sage.
The skeleton was not the first person to have such thoughts when it was alive. Someone had thought of this hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Relevant research materials were also left behind.
When the skeleton was alive, it had gathered the information of these predecessors and on the foundation of these predecessors, continued to dig deeper to unravel the secrets of the human body.
In the end, it came up with a set of martial arts theories about excavating the potential of the physical body.
He had already sorted out this set of theories. It was a complete path.
In other words, if one were to carry out experiments based on this theory, he might really be able to become a Martial Sage with the capabilities of the physical body. Of course, he could also end up crippling and killing himself.
No one knew the success rate.
Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat.
Just because others couldn't, didn't mean he couldn't.
As long as there was a complete theory, he could use the Deduction Card to deduce it. There was definitely a chance of obtaining the true method to becoming a Martial Sage using his physical body!
Tsk!
Su Jingxing already had an Essence Soul. There was no need to walk the path of nourishing the mind with true fluid and condensing a Divine Embryo again.
If there was really a specific method to become a Martial Sage using his physical body, he could have two paths available and have two "Essence Souls"!
A physical body and an Essence Soul.
If that really happened, wouldn't I have another doppelganger?
This doppelganger also has the opportunity to become stronger again.
The more Su Jingxing thought about it, the more excited he became.
After a while, he regained his composure.
He kept the book. He still had to wait to deduce the method based on the theories.
This was because he didn't have enough Deduction Cards, only one.
And Su Jingxing still had many martial arts to deduce.
He had to deduce the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Sword Eyes, the Heaven Origin Volume of the Three Origins Saber Art, and the newly obtained Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
There was no hurry using his physical body to become a Martial Sage. In any case, the true fluid nourished his mind. Su Jingxing had never cultivated much. Instead, it was automatically produced.
Even if he really obtained the method, he didn't know how long it would take.
On the contrary, he had to take care of the three semi soul skills, the Full Moon Breathing Technique, Sword Eyes, and the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand as soon as possible.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing put the two books and three circular rings into his palm space. Then, he picked up the three jade stones on the ground and sensed them slightly to confirm that they were pure energy stones.
Due to various reasons, worldly energy had condensed into crystals.
A martial artist just had to hold it and circulate his internal exercise to absorb it directly.
This was also good stuff. Su Jingxing put it into his palm space too.
Then, he looked around the entire house to make sure he did not miss anything and called the big white goose to go outside.
Circulating his true essence, he created a hole in the ground beside the cottage.
He entered the house and moved the skeleton out. He placed it in the pit and filled the pit with soil.
Finally, he found a long rectangular stone and used it as a tombstone. He carved, "Grave of A Nameless Senior" on it.
Before the arrival of the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect, humans on Earth Star were particular about being buried and laid to rest.
All that was left of this unknown old senior was a skeleton. He did not have to worry about the Corpse-raising Devil Insect coming to his door so there was no worries about being buried.
Su Jingxing had obtained a few good things for no reason. Burying the person was the only thing he could do.
Once everything was settled, he called for the big white goose and left the underground space.
This place was a good place to live in seclusion.
For example, using it to cultivate in seclusion.
Apart from the big white goose, no one else knew about it, nor could they enter.
On the way out, Su Jingxing made up his mind. He would take this underground space. If he needed to enter seclusion in the future, he would come here.
Aah ooh!
At the entrance of the cave, the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf cried out excitedly when it saw a human and a goose coming out.
Ga ga!
The big white goose emerged, flapping its wings and hopping.
"Haha, it's all thanks to Brother Goose."
Su Jingxing said with a smile, "Circular rings, energy stones, soul skills, treasure clothes, and martial arts theories to become a Martial Sage using the physical body. They are all good stuff."
Ga ga!
The big white goose shook its body dismissively.
It basically had no use for these things.
"Alright." Seeing this, Su Jingxing said seriously, "Everything else can be discussed, but I'll have to trouble Brother Goose for the circular rings."
Ga ga! The big white goose flapped its wings and released its glow without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak
"A tacit understanding!"
Su Jingxing gave it a thumbs up and took out the three circular rings.
According to the previous steps, he put the three circular rings aside and closed his eyes to "see" the nine holes of the Nine Souls Ring mentally.
Then, he placed the three rings into three holes.
In total, there were five of them.
He had gathered five of the nine rings at once.
When he opened his eyes, the circular ring fused with five rings was emitting a faint white light. It had also become translucent and faintly discernible.
With a thought, Su Jingxing controlled it with his mind.
Swish!
The Five Souls Ring suddenly turned into a ray of white light and burrowed into Su Jingxing's glabella, reaching his sea of consciousness.
Swish!
The Essence Soul manifested and held the Five Souls Ring in its hand. In that instant, Su Jingxing understood a lot.
The Five Souls Ring actually possessed the ability to imprison and burn souls.
This Nine Souls Ring really did get stronger with every additional ring.
Now that the Five Souls Ring was already so powerful, if he could gather all nine…
Tsk!
He took deep breaths to suppress his excitement.
Su Jingxing did not take the Five Souls Ring. Instead, he allowed it to float in the air above his sea of consciousness.
After getting used to it, he looked down at the big white goose and said, "Thank you, Brother Goose. I'm leaving. Are you coming with me?"
Ga ga!
The big white goose shook its head and flapped its wings. It charged forward and flew back.

Chapter 282 Straight Into The Soul! (2)
It indicated that it was fine and could rely on itself.
Aah ooh!
The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf agreed at the side, expressing that it would be around as well.
As long as it wasn't a martial artist in the top ranks, the wolf and the goose weren't afraid of anyone.
This valley was tucked away, and almost no one came here.
It was captured the last time because they were outside.
Su Jingxing nodded and said, "Alright, be careful. I'll come back in a few days."
Ga ga! Aah ooh!
The big white goose and the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf called out their farewells one after another.
Su Jingxing waved his hand, pushed off his toes, and soared into the sky.
He left the valley and flew towards Qinghe City.
His speed soared to the maximum. He bypassed the surveillance area and landed at the back mountain of his small courtyard.
He returned home from there.
After going indoors and getting some food, Su Jingxing took out the Deduction Card.
Su Jingxing planned to use this Function Card that had three deductions chances and a 50% success rate each time to deduce the Full Moon Breathing Technique and Sword Eyes.
One was a shield for defense, and the other was for offense. It was powerful in killing.
Compared to the incomplete version of the Tiangang Demon Suppression Palm, the probability of successfully deducing them was higher.
As it turned out, Su Jingxing's choice was right.
With three chances, he completed the Sword Eyes on the second try and the Full Moon Breathing Technique on the third.
This allowed these two semi soul skills to advance to become true soul skills in an instant.
One attacked, the other defended.
The only problem was that Su Jingxing didn't have a Martial Arts Practice Card and had to slowly cultivate them himself.
So be it.
The five rings of the Nine Souls Ring had been gathered.
Su Jingxing still had to consider his next step at length.
Of the remaining four rings, one was hidden by Shen Qian's younger brother, one was in the hands of the Li Family's First Elder, and two were in Si Wujiu's hands.
The one with Shen Qian's younger brother was the hardest to find. It was almost hopeless.
Si Wujiu's whereabouts were mysterious. Even if he did find him, he wouldn't know how to strike.
He also did not know where the Li Family's First Elder was cultivating in seclusion.
However, compared to Si Wujiu, the chances of finding the Li Family's First Elder were higher.
Using the heavenly secret art, he could divine the location of the Li Family's First Elder. As long as he had an item that belonged to the old fellow's possession, he could divine it.
Of course, it would be best if he had the First Elder's hair or blood.
But these two were almost impossible to obtain.
e wen
On the contrary, there were many items that the Li Family's First Elder used all year round with his aura lingering on them.
What Su Jingxing had to do was cultivate while controlling his Blood Doppelganger to sneak into the Li Family's residence and wait for an opportunity.
He didn't know what items the Li Family's First Elder had left behind, but members of the Li Family did.
Although only a few of them, there had to be some who did. Su Jingxing was waiting for them. Then, he would find an opportunity to get information out of them. And things developed unexpectedly smoothly for Su Jingxing.
On the third night after the Blood Doppelganger infiltrated the Li Family's residence, he encountered an opportunity.
The Ninth Elder of the Li Family, an old fellow in his seventies or eighties, came back with a 13 or 14-year-old girl. He threw her into the room and wanted to force himself on her.
Sensing the girl's terrified screams, the Blood Doppelganger immediately sneaked into the room. Its blood energy erupted and it ambushed the old fellow from behind. With a single palm strike, the old fellow vomited blood and fainted.
Then, he brought the girl who had fainted from fright and the old fellow out of the Li Family's residence and disappeared from under the moonlight as quickly as possible.
By the time the Li Family reacted, they had already fled.
Su Jingxing controlled the Blood Doppelganger to drop the young girl who had passed out from shock at the entrance of the Martial Suppression Office's headquarters.
The Li Family's Ninth Elder was brought to the southern suburbs and into a forest.
Su Jingxing's main body was waiting at the top of the mountain. The Blood Doppelganger brought the old fellow over. Without another word, the Essence Soul emerged from his body and released the Five Souls Ring to trap the old fellow's soul.
"Ahhh!"
The voice of the Ninth Elder, whose physical body was unconscious and soul was screaming, only echoed in the sea of consciousness.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul controlled the Five Souls Ring to appear in the Li Family's Ninth Elder's sea of consciousness. He interrogated expressionlessly, "Where is your big brother, the First Elder of the Li Family cultivating in seclusion?"
"I… I don't know."
The Ninth Elder screamed in fear. "Senior, I really don't know. Please let me off. I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have r*ped a young girl. I'm not human. I'm a beast. I'm willing to accept punishment. Even if you castrate me, I'm willing to accept it, as long as you let me off, I was wrong, I was really wrong." The soul-like Ninth Elder of the Li Family shouted in fear.
It was strange because there were no tears or snot.
"Cut the crap."
Su Jingxing asked coldly, "Where is the Li Family's First Elder?"
"I really don't know… Ah!!!"
The Five Souls Ring was activated, the flames burned fiercely, distorting the soul of the Li Family's Ninth Elder.
This stimulation and pain from the soul was tens or hundreds of times stronger than that from the physical body.
If it had been used on his body, he would have passed out countless times from the pain.
But directly targeting the soul, the Ninth Elder would only feel pain, but would not die or faint.
This method of interrogation could also be used by second-grade and first-grade martial artists to invade the sea of consciousness through the Martial Art True Intent.
But it wasn't as convenient as Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
This was because Su Jingxing did not need to expend any soul power. When the Essence Soul was released and manifested, it was like an ordinary person coming out of a house.
The power of Five Souls Ring was not something that ordinary Martial Art True Intent could compare to.
"Ah! Ah!"
Miserable cries, shrill cries of pain and despair came from the soul of the Li Family's Ninth Elder. They resounded through his sea of consciousness. Just listening to them sounded agonizing.
In the soul state, unless the soul was burned to ashes with nothing left, he could continue to be interrogated. Of course, over time, his soul would also be damaged and he would become an idiot.
Su Jingxing had grasped a certain limit in this interrogation. Every time the Ninth Elder was about to collapse, he would stop. After a while, he would continue to interrogate again.
The power of the Five Souls Ring was fully unleashed at this moment.
Finally, after howling in pain for a long time, the Li Family's Ninth Elder could no longer hold back and revealed the secret.
"Don't, don't continue. I'll speak, I'll speak!"
The Ninth Elder of the Li Family, who was in a soul state, shouted in grief and indignation as he trembled, "I… I only know that the First Elder left a message. He said.., he said… that he's…"
"He's what?" Su Jingxing continued.
"In the Thunder Cloud Tower!"
The Li Family's Ninth Elder said with a trembling voice, "The First Elder once let slip that he's in the Thunder Cloud Tower, but I don't know if it's true or not. Really, I didn't lie to you this time. I only know this. I really don't know anything else. Stop burning me. Why don't you just kill me!"
The Li Family's Ninth Elder shouted with a sobbing tone.
In his physical state, he could kill himself with a self-destruction secret ability.
However, in his soul state, he couldn't even commit suicide, let alone escape.
"Thunder Cloud Tower?"
Su Jingxing pondered for a moment. "Are you referring to the ancient stone pagoda on Nanfu Mountain in the south?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
The Li Family's Ninth Elder hurriedly replied, "One of our secret bases is set up there. Of course, I don't know the exact location of the base because I'm not in charge of it. Fourth Brother is. Our Li Family has a total of four secret bases. I only know the location of one of them. I don't know about the other three.
rs
"By the way, we are also related to the Yu Family in the capital. We have been partners with the Yu Family for many years. Of course, even though we are partners, we are actually a vassal. It's just that the Yu Family is generous and never asks for anything from us. Instead, they provide resources and information from time to time to help the Li Family develop. "Also, also, the Jade Sword Sect in Qinghe City was actually founded by a member of the Yu Family. It is by a secret subordinate faction of the Yu Family in Changyang Prefecture.
"Also, Li Linzhou is actually also a member of the Yu Family. His mother is a descendant of a collateral branch of the Yu Family, but she has left the Yu Family. But to be very calculative, Li Linzhou is also a member of the Yu Family. Of course, Li Linzhou's true backer is his master, the Head Supervisor of the Martial Suppression Office!"
IIII
He was so afraid that Su Jingxing would start another barbecue.
The Li Family's Ninth Elder's mouth kept opening and closing, spilling one secret after another.
Some, Su Jingxing knew. For some others, it was his first time he was hearing about them.
For example, the Jade Sword Sect was the Yu Family's stronghold, and the Li Family was a vassal force of the Yu Family.
The Yu Family in the capital was an ancient martial arts family on the same level as the Chen and Xia Families!

Chapter 283 The Might of a Martial Sage! (1)
Among the five major martial arts families in the Yu Nation, other than the Xia Family, the other four all had a history that exceeded a thousand years.
The Xia Family was the imperial family to begin with. Hundreds of years of accumulation made it that even in their decline and loss of power, their foundation was still terrifying.
Needless to say, the famous Golden Family, the Golden Bloodline, had unparalleled combat strength.
The Yu Family.
To be honest, Su Jingxing wasn't sure. Compared to the Xia and Chen families, the Yu Family was much more low-profile. For a thousand years, they had been quietly developing and strengthening themselves.
a
As long as one did not provoke them, the Yu Family rarely made a move.
The Qinghe Li Family was able to build a relationship with the Yu Family. No wonder they remained standing for hundreds of years.
They managed to safely ride through the few major troubles encountered in the middle.
At that time, no one knew the reason. Now, he knew that the Yu Family was behind helping them.
Su Jingxing had captured the Li Family's Ninth Elder because he wanted to get one or two items that the First Elder had used from him. Unexpectedly, he had obtained a lot of secrets.
Su Jingxing was a little embarrassed to kill him now. Forget it, I'll just cripple him. Cripple his tool and break his hands so that the old fellow can only see and not touch anyone in the future.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing put away the Five Souls Ring and the Essence Soul left the Ninth Elder's sea of consciousness.
Hu! Hu!
The Li Family's Ninth Elder opened his eyes and panted heavily. He scanned his surroundings and realized that Su Jingxing was still around.
He immediately screamed, "You're not human, you're not human, you're not human!!"
Accompanied by the dragging sound of the word "human", he self-destructed with a dull thud, turning into a rain of flesh and blood that scattered in the air.
He had already planned to let him off, but the old fellow actually self-destructed.
Was he scared out of his wits?
Afraid that Su Jingxing would imprison and incinerate his soul again?
Therefore, he simply chose to self-destruct.
He would rather die than suffer the feeling of his soul being burned again.
Fine.
Su Jingxing nodded and released his true essence. It transformed into true energy and burned his blood and flesh.
At the same time, he extracted a card.
After that, he rose into the air and flew south.
The Li Family's First Elder's seclusion location might be in the Thunder Cloud Tower of Nanfu Mountain.
Now that he knew the general location, either by using divination or directly scanning the area like a radar using the Essence Soul, he'd be able to find him.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Li Family's First Elder was really in Nanfu Mountain!
Nanfu Mountain was located about 30 miles south of Qinghe City.
Su Jingxing flew over. Instead of landing on the mountain directly, he landed in advance and approached silently along the forest.
Since the Li Family had established a secret base in Nanfu Mountain, they must have surveillance around.
Su Jingxing didn't want to alert the enemy, nor did he want to bust the Li Family's secret base.
His goal was only to obtain the circular ring.
Therefore, it was best if no one died.
He would go up the mountain, find the secret base, sneak into it, get the circular ring, and retreat!
The plan was this simple.
Su Jingxing followed the steps perfectly.
After arriving at Nanfu Mountain silently, he avoided the cameras in the open and in the dark. He found a remote corner and operated the Six Comets Records to divine the location of the base.
However, halfway through his divination, he heard a strange sound coming from afar.
Crack!
Accompanied by a sound, a figure flashed from the mountainside and soared into the sky. "That is?"
Su Jingxing's eyes flickered with surprise.
No way, what a coincidence?
The Li Family's First Elder!
Su Jingxing had searched for photos of this First Elder online and knew what he looked like.
He was looking for him and he had actually appeared on his own.
The self-destructed Ninth Elder was right. This First Elder was really cultivating in seclusion in Nanfu Mountain.
The source of the sound was the entrance to the secret base.
The location of the base was automatically exposed.
However, Su Jingxing didn't want to go to the base anymore. Instead, he wanted to follow the Li Family's First Elder.
Isn't this First Elder in seclusion all year round? Why did he suddenly leave?
Out for something?
Or…
With a thought, Su Jingxing decisively stopped circulating the Six Comets Records and silently chased after the Li Family's First Elder.
He followed the aura left behind by the First Elder and quickly shuttled through the forest.
He released his powerful perception and locked onto him.
Then, Su Jingxing realized that the First Elder had gone up the mountain.
No, to be precise, he was rushing to the Thunder Cloud Tower.
The Thunder Cloud Tower was an ancient stone tower that had existed for more than 3,000 years. It had long been dilapidated and no longer had the grandness from 3,000 years ago.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Thunder Cloud Tower was a thousand feet tall and was an important stronghold for a large faction.
Now, it was less than 100 feet tall and was full of holes.
Su Jingxing chased after the First Elder and arrived outside the Thunder Cloud Tower. He restrained his aura and retracted his perception to a certain range. He circulated his secret ability and listened to the movements.
There was already someone waiting under the Thunder Cloud Tower.
The Li Family's First Elder had come out to see him.
"Long time no see, Brother Si. I've missed you," greeted the First Elder with a smile.
"That's right. It's been more than 10 years since we last met, Brother Li. You've finally succeeded." The person waiting sighed.
"Haha, it was all luck. Luck played a big role in me breaking through to the third-grade. The remaining half was thanks to Elder Yu. Without his guidance and the treasure map he provided for me to study at will, I would never have been able to advance to the third-grade in my life."
The Li Family's First Elder with a big smile.
"That's also because of your capabilities. When the opportunity comes, you will naturally succeed." The person waiting also chuckled.

"Sigh, compared to you, I'm still not good enough. I only advanced more than 10 years later."
The First Elder sighed. "By the way, President, why are you looking for me today? Aren't you usually too busy to see me?"
"Naturally because I have something important to discuss with you." The person who was waiting said in a low voice, "Did you bring the circular ring I asked for?"
"Yes, why?" The First Elder was puzzled. Su Jingxing, who was listening, was excited, agitated, and pleasantly surprised!
Surname Si, president, circular ring.
With these three elements combined, the identity of the person waiting was obvious.
Si Wujiu!
The President of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce who had two circular rings in his possession.
Some time ago, he had deliberately attacked the Li Family and put on a show.
Today, he was meeting the Li Family's First Elder to discuss the circular ring.
Su Jingxing happened to not be able to find him, but Si Wujiu appeared on his own.
How could this not be a pleasant surprise?
What was even more surprising was that Si Wujiu and the Li Family's First Elder had both brought the circular rings with them.
Just what are they trying to do?
Of course, no matter what they wanted to do, it would end here!
"Brother Li, I've figured out what the circular rings in our possession are."
Si Wujiu, who was holding two circular rings, said in a low voice, "Our cooperation previously forced the others with the circular rings to appear. I don't know if they were fooled, but two days ago, I finally learned what these circular rings are."
"What exactly are they?" asked the First Elder.
"Nine Souls Ring!"
Si Wujiu replied excitedly, "Such rings are called the Nine Souls Ring! It's a powerful soul-related treasure. As long as you gather nine rings and combine them into one, you will possess terrifying strength that you can even defeat a Martial Sages!"
"Tss…"
The Li Family's First Elder drew a cold breath and said in shock, "Are you sure? Is what you said true? There can't be a mistake, right?"
"No, I've confirmed it carefully. Its real name is the Nine Souls Ring!"
Si Wujiu said happily, "The power unleashed by the fusion of the nine rings is incomparably powerful. Brother Li, we have to find the remaining six rings!"
"The problem is, we don't know where they are."
The Li Family's First Elder was helpless. "The one in my hand was even bestowed to my ancestor by Emperor Yu back then. It has been passed down until today. If we can find the nine circular rings, I believe Emperor Yu wouldn't have bestowed this one back then. If even Emperor Yu didn't know where the other circular rings are distributed, where are we going to find them?"
"They're with me."
A voice suddenly sounded.
The Li Family's First Elder subconsciously asked, "Where?"
Si Wujiu's expression changed. His gaze was like a fire torch as he quickly locked onto Su Jingxing, who was walking into the ruins step by step.
"Who are you?" Si Wujiu's gaze was cold. "Brother Li, is he a member of the Li Family?"
"No."
The First Elder shook his head. His expression was equally solemn as he said in a low voice, "Friend, was what you said true? You have circular rings in your possession?"
"Of course." Su Jingxing approached them step by step. "Not only do I have the circular rings, I also have a good number of them. A total of five."
"Really?" The First Elder's eyes widened. Si Wujiu's breathing faltered, and surprise and greed flashed across his eyes.
"What are your conditions?" He took a deep breath and glanced behind Su Jingxing to confirm if Su Jingxing was alone or whether there was someone else hiding behind him.
"Conditions?" Su Jingxing finally stopped and asked calmly, "What conditions?"
"In exchange for the circular rings!"
Si Wujiu said in a low voice, "Since you have five circular rings, I'm willing to make a deal with you. Feel free to state what you want."
"Yes."
When the First Elder heard this, he regained his composure and echoed, "Friend, state your price. What must we do for you to hand over the circular rings?" "I'm sorry, I never planned to sell the circular rings." Su Jingxing, who had changed his appearance and disposition, said calmly, "As you've said, the Nine Souls Ring is a rare treasure. Why would I sell it?"
"On the contrary, you can sell the circular rings in your hands to me.
"In terms of numbers, I have five, I've got the majority. The three that you two have are too few."
"You… you only appeared because of the Nine Souls Ring, right?"
The First Elder's eyes flickered. In a flash, he figured out the reason.
He turned his head to look at Si Wujiu and cursed, "Si Wujiu, you were actually followed. You didn't even know!"
Si Wujiu's face was ashen as he stared at Su Jingxing.
"No, no, First Elder is wrong." Su Jingxing shook his head and smiled. "I didn't follow President Si here. I followed you here."
The First Elder was also speechless.
The former was stunned and surprised, while the latter was shocked, angered and ashamed. After a while, he went berserk. "What did you say?!"
"I followed you here." Su Jingxing shrugged. "If not for the First Elder leading the way, why would I appear here?"
The First Elder spewed fire and panted non-stop, his chest heaving.
non
"Enough."
Si Wujiu gritted his teeth and growled, "How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation? You even dared to expose that you have five circular rings in front of us!"
"And then?" Su Jingxing chuckled.
For some reason, Si Wujiu's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously lowered his voice. "What then? Don't talk about anything else. I'll only give you one chance. Hand over the circular rings!"
"Wait." The First Elder stopped him. "Who are you?"
"I'm the person looking for you both."
Su Jingxing sighed and stopped teasing the two of them. The Essence Soul manifested and released a terrifying pressure.
Buzz!
Vast and boundless, it was like a towering mountain had descended from the sky and enveloped the First Elder and Si Wujiu.
The two of them were almost defenseless. Plop, plop! They dropped to their knees and then prostrated themselves on the ground. Their bodies were trembling and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Ah!"
Si Wujiu growled and tried to release his Martial Art True Intent, but he couldn't.
Similarly, the First Elder hurriedly circulated all his soul power and circulated his Martial Art True Intent that he had just condensed.
In the end, he failed as well. Together with Si Wujiu, they laid flat on the ground like salted fish, unable to move.
"What… what kind of power is this?"
Si Wujiu struggled and shouted indignantly.
He was a third-grade martial artist, a veteran third-grade expert. Once his Martial Art True Intent manifested, he could resist and suppress those in the middle ranks.
However, in the face of this invisible and terrifying pressure, he could not resist at all.
This was because this power targeted the soul and also suppressed the soul.
His physical body, true essence, and Martial Art True Intent were rendered useless.
The problem was that even a first-grade martial artist could not do this.
How did Su Jingxing do it?
"Martial… Martial Sage?"
The First Elder's face was pale. He thought of something and exclaimed in a trembling voice, "You're a Martial Sage?!"
What?
Si Wujiu was stunned.
Martial Sage?
He's a Martial Sage?
The Kingdom Defending Martial Sage of the Yu Nation?
The two of us had been targeted by the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage?
Is this luck or luck?
For a moment, Si Wujiu was dumbfounded.
The First Elder was also a little confused and dizzy.
Suppressing his shock, he trembled and asked, "You… you're really the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage?"
"No."
Su Jingxing shook his head and flipped the two of them from a distance. Then, he executed the Black Wind Claw and grabbed the circular rings hidden in their chests.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The three circular rings immediately fell into Su Jingxing's hands.
"No? How is that possible? This is impossible!"
The First Elder growled, "This strength is definitely the might of a Martial Sage! Only the might of a Martial Sage can be so terrifying!"
He was aggrieved.
He had just broken through to the third-grade and had only gotten adapted for a period of time. Before he could carry out his first actual combat, he had already encountered the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage who was rare to encounter in decades.
Su Jingxing denied it, unwilling to accept the title.
But the Li Family's First Elder believed that Su Jingxing was a Martial Sage!
The Martial Sage took a fancy to their circular rings.
No one else could be so unlucky.
The Li Family's First Elder smiled bitterly, sighed, and felt helpless. In the end, he chose to be calm.
He had no choice but to accept it. The might of a Martial Sage.
The legendary might of a Martial Sage was indeed terrifying. Martial Art True Intent could not withstand a single blow from a Martial Sage.
No, it could not even hold for a second!

Chapter 285 Nine Souls Ring!
The First Elder admitted defeat.
On the other hand, Si Wujiu was terrified.
Martial Sage!
This was the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!
To think that he had other thoughts previously. Now, he was almost scared out of his wits and didn't dare to have any more ideas.
Coveting something that belongs to a Martial Sage? That was not the way to court death even if one wanted to die…
"Pu!"
Si Wujiu groaned as a wave of pain washed over him. He gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to make a sound.
One of his arms suddenly left his body and flew into the air.
"There won't be a next time," said Su Jingxing coolly. He put away the three circular rings and turned to leave.
As soon as the Essence Soul entered his body, the terrifying pressure disappeared.
Si Wujiu and the Li Family's First Elder did not get up immediately. Instead, they continued to lie on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
After more than ten minutes, they carefully raised their heads and looked around. After making sure that Su Jingxing had really left, the two of them laid down on their backs and looked at the sky, panting heavily.
Si Wujiu, who had escaped death, saw his lost arm not far away, but he had no intention of picking it up.
He only lost an arm, which was considered lucky.
Even if he was really killed this time, he deserved it.
But then again, who would have known that the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation was also collecting the Nine Souls Ring?
"He already has five, together with our three, that makes eight.
"If he finds the last one, he'll have nine. All nine rings of the Nine Souls Ring gathered!"
The First Elder calmed himself down and sighed.
"…I believe that the Martial Sage can definitely gather all nine." Si Wujiu flattered, afraid that Su Jingxing was still around and monitoring their every move.
It was rumored that Martial Sages had the magical ability to monitor the world.
Even from a thousand miles away, they could still see and hear!
But in reality, Si Wujiu was thinking too much.
Su Jingxing wasn't that free to continue staring at him. Breaking one of his arms to teach him a lesson was enough.
After obtaining three more circular rings, Su Jingxing was overjoyed and rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range without stopping to look for the big white goose and ask for its help. Under the sparkling glow, Su Jingxing skillfully embedded the three rings he had obtained into the three holes and completed the fusion of eight rings.
When he opened his eyes, he, who now possessed eight soul rings, learned three more abilities.
Firstly, the soul ring could be released for a thousand miles to kill enemies invisibly.
Secondly, the flames ignited by the soul ring could injure the Essence Soul.
Thirdly, with a soul ring, one could block out heavenly secret arts!
Indeed, with every additional ring, his strength would increase.
Especially blocking out the heavenly secret arts, it had resolved Su Jingxing's future troubles.
Although there weren't many people who cultivated heavenly secret arts, every one of them was very powerful.
When Su Jingxing divined others, others could also divine him.
Locking on and determining his location and whatnot were fine. But if things relating to karma and giving insights to his roots were to be divined, it would be extremely troublesome.
Now that he had the eight rings, Su Jingxing no longer had to worry about others divining any information about him.
The Eight Souls Ring could block the prying of heavenly secret arts. Of course, such resistance was not absolute. It could only be said that most spying could be blocked.
After all, the Eight Souls Ring was not the only extraordinary treasure with such function.
With rare treasures that could block out heavenly secret arts, there were naturally also treasures that could speed up, deepen, and facilitate divination.
With the Eight Souls Ring in hand, he was only one ring away from the complete Nine Souls Ring
However, there was no trace of this last circular ring.
No one knew where Shen Qian's younger brother had hid it.
Su Jingxing had been to Shen Qian's old house, but he didn't find anything.
His mastery of the Six Comets Records was only at the introductory stage. It was impossible to find this last ring without a medium.
Only when the Six Comets Record was cultivated to the depths could the divination be completed without the assistance of a medium.
Therefore, Su Jingxing temporarily let go of this last ring.
In the cultivation of heavenly secret arts, the consumption of soul power was secondary. The requirement for talent was very high.
Without Martial Arts Practice Cards, cultivating the Sword Eyes and Full Moon Breathing Technique was more cost-effective.
And because the ability to extract cards was bound to the soul,
Su Jingxing, who had no use for the Blood Doppelganger for the time being, moved this doppelganger to hide near the crematorium in the southern suburbs of Changyang Prefecture City.
In the Changyang Prefecture City, there were a total of three crematoriums. The one in the southern suburbs was the biggest.
The Blood Doppelganger shrunk up into a ball and hid outside the crematorium, extracting Function Cards day and night.
Su Jingxing's main body in Qinghe City only needed to unlock the cards.
It was unknown if he was extremely lucky because this was his first time going to the prefecture city or because there were more people being controlled there,
but on the second day of the Blood Doppelganger's stay at the crematorium in the southern suburbs, it had extracted three Martial Arts Practice Cards!
With nine years, five years, and six years of practice time respectively.
Altogether, 20 years of practice time was perfect for cultivating the Sword Eyes and the Six Comets Records.
Sword Eyes was raised to the Advanced level, and the Six Comets Record had also been advanced to the point where he divine without a medium.
As for the other cards, Internal Force Cards, Essence Energy Cards, Life Skill Cards, Strength Enhancement Cards, Equipment Cards… there were a lot of them.
He even extracted two Requiem Cards and kept them as backup.
The Six Comets Records could now divine without a medium. Su Jingxing immediately operated it to deduce the whereabouts of the last ring.
In the end, he found it on a young woman in Qinghe City who was less than 20 years old.
Su Jingxing didn't know where she got it from, but he didn't ask. He just knocked her out, took the circular ring, and left a sum of money.
From then on, all nine rings were gathered!
After obtaining the last ring, Su Jingxing decisively rushed to the Green Cloud Mountain Range. With the help of the big white goose, he filled in the last hole.
Buzz!
With the nine rings combined, the true Nine Souls Ring was born.
This extraordinary treasure with no shape, no shadow and no movements disappeared the moment it fused.
If Su Jingxing hadn't used his soul power to fuse the rings, he wouldn't have discovered it at all.
Even so, Su Jingxing only realized that the Nine Souls Ring was still with him after carefully sensing it for a while through the Essence Soul.
The complete Nine Souls Ring was its own entity, and it carried a terrifying power that scorched the soul.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul didn't even dare to approach.
He needed to refine it!
The Five Souls Ring and Eight Souls Ring could be controlled directly.
Yet the complete Nine Soul Ring actually required refinement to control.
On second thought, it made sense.
The complete Nine Souls Ring was a mature treasure that had its own sentience.
If Su Jingxing wanted to control it, he would have to refine it first.
Once successfully refined, he could leave his own imprint on it. Even if the Nine Souls Ring was lost or snatched away, there was no need to worry.
Therefore, for the next few days, Su Jingxing's main body did not go anywhere. Instead, he stayed in the valley and slowly contacted the Nine Souls Ring with his soul power. He influenced it, enveloped it up, and refined it!
Su Jingxing didn't know how long this process would take, so he could only take it one step at a time.
The Blood Doppelganger remained at the crematorium in the southern suburbs of the prefecture city, extracting cards day and night.
It stayed for more than half a month.
On this day, the Blood Doppelganger was on the periphery of the crematorium and overheard a conversation between three people.
"Have you heard? There are really strong winds in the Luori Prefecture right now."
"Isn't it normal for there to be wind?"
"Would I specially tell you about normal winds? The winds in the Luori Prefecture are very strange!"

Chapter 286 Another Calamity!
"Strange? It's just wind. How is it strange?"
"I'm not sure about the details. In any case, I only know that the Luori Prefecture has encountered a rare windstorm. The winds have no fixed direction and have no eye, but the wind speeds are getting faster and faster. According to the weather station's repeated surveillance, even though there are clearly no conditions for winds, a wind mass that covers the entire prefecture suddenly appeared." "Are you serious? The Luori Prefecture is close to the periphery of the Boundless Mountain Range. Did the winds come from the mountain range?"
"Is this the first time you've heard of the Boundless Mountain Range? If there really is a source of the storm in the Boundless Mountain Range, with irregular changes in the flow of air, it would have been discovered long ago. Why would they wait until now?"
"Then what do you think happened?"
"I don't know. I was just wondering. I heard that it's difficult for ordinary people to even walk in the Luori Prefecture now. They've all hidden at home. Most of the simple buildings have been blown down."
"Tsk, this is probably a force 9 strong gale. If the wind speed were to increase further, it would become a force 10 storm."
"That's right. Right now, the Luori Prefecture is in the midst of an emergency dispatch. The other neighboring prefectures are in charge of transporting supplies. I hope the wind stops
soon."
"It shouldn't be able to turn into a strong gale. The Luori Prefecture isn't near the sea, nor is there a big lake. Their scenery was always the best. If there is really a disaster, it should come from the barbarians in the Boundless Mountain Range. By the way, it couldn't be the barbarians' work, could it?"
"Well, I'm really not sure."
"F*ck, why don't you know anything? And still complaining?"
"Aren't I just finding a topic to talk about?" "Get lost!"
The conversation did not last long before it ended and the three people left.
Although the Blood Doppelganger was a little surprised, it did not take the matter to heart.
Despite such strong winds being rare, the administration of the Luori Prefecture and the cabinet of the Yu Nation were much more experienced than Su Jingxing in handling such matters.
In the face of all kinds of natural disasters, they had long had corresponding strategies.
Su Jingxing controlled his Blood Doppelganger to continue extracting cards. His main body continued to refine the Nine Souls Ring.
Right now, the most important thing for Su Jingxing was to refine this rare treasure and gain complete control over it.
Soon, another three days passed.
That evening, when the Blood Doppelganger was extracting cards, it heard a few people talking again.
"Is it a bad year this year? Some time ago, there was a "self-combustion" disaster here. Now, there's a wind disaster in the southwest. I heard that there's already a windstorm there. Some unstable buildings have been easily destroyed. A few days ago, martial artists could still walk outside, but now, even the lower-level martial artists don't dare to go out anymore."
"Most importantly, the number of deaths caused by the storm is constantly rising. If the corpses aren't incinerated in time, they will turn into Corpse Puppets."
"That's right. That's the most important. I heard that after the storm spread to the Qiannan Prefecture, it destroyed a house and crushed someone to death. However, they didn't get rid of the corpse in time, resulting in the birth of a Corpse Puppet. Then, the Corpse Puppet charged into the neighboring house and killed many people. In the end, it was because the Martial Suppression Office arrived in time that the Corpse Puppet was killed."
"I heard about that too. Right now, the Luori Prefecture, the Qiannan Prefecture, the Daqin Prefecture, and the Sifang Prefecture have all been attacked by the storm. The experts from the Martial Suppression Office who head out all carry large buckets of Corpse Dissolving Liquid. Once corpses are discovered, they will be dissolved and not sent to the crematorium."
"In such a situation, that's the best option. Sending them to the crematorium is completely unnecessary and will cause other future troubles."
"Four prefectures. The storm has already enveloped four prefectures. If it doesn't stop, that will become five prefectures or six prefectures!"
"The increase in area is secondary. An increase in wind speed is the main problem. If the winds accelerate further and turn into a hurricane, more people will die! There won't even be enough Corpse Dissolving Liquid!"
"Not only that, if it really turns into a hurricane, all martial artists below the fifth-grade will have to stay in their rooms. To resolve the problems of the corpses, we'll have to send out fourth-grade or even third-grade martial artists!"
"This…"
"…"
There was a moment of silence.
The few people talking fell silent.
The Blood Doppelganger, who was listening to the conversation, was also speechless.
WS
Three days ago, Su Jingxing didn't take this matter to heart. But now, hearing the news again, news that provided more updates, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
There's something wrong with these winds!
The storm covered the entire Luori Prefecture, Qiannan Prefecture, Dain Prefecture, and Sifang Prefecture, and it was still extending outwards. There was definitely something wrong with this wind mass.
Almost immediately, Su Jingxing thought of the possible source.
The Void World!
The monsters from the Void World had caused a disaster in the Yu Nation through the border membrane again.
Compared to the strange self-combustion last time, this time, it was a storm, a hurricane, a wind disaster!
"What is the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation doing?"
Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.
He was 90% sure that the source of the windstorm in the four prefectures came from the Void World.
The problem was that the Yu Nation's territory in the Void World was guarded by a Martial Sage!
The last time, Su Jingxing had specially used his Essence Soul to enter the Void World and found the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation standing in the northeast.
If a Void World monster has broken into the Yu Nation's territory, passed through the border membrane, and invaded the southwest, why didn't the Martial Sage take action?
Is he busy again and not in the Void World?
So, he's unaware about the hurricane that struck the four prefectures?
Su Jingxing pondered in silence.
He was only one step away from completely refining the Nine Souls Ring.
As long as he could finish this last step, he would be able to gain absolute control over the Nine Souls Ring.
For this, Su Jingxing was anxious, but he had to endure it for the time being.
Another two days passed.
Fortunately, he had finally refined the Nine Souls Ring and controlled this powerful treasure.
As soon as the refinement succeeded, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul held the Nine Souls Ring and left his body. It came to the outside world and flew into the sky.
The Essence Soul activated its perception of the border membrane. After seeing it, it quickly passed through it and stepped into the Void World.
Instead of looking for the Yu Nation's Martial Sage, the Essence Soul headed southwest, vigilantly searching for the Void World monster that caused the windstorm.
In the end, instead of finding a Void World monster, it found a hole in the border membrane.
It was about the size of the hole that the ostrich creature had made last time.
Su Jingxing's heart skipped a beat when he saw this hole.
If the source of the windstorm isn't in the Void World, doesn't that mean that the monster's main body had entered the real world below?
The storms in the four prefectures in the southwest are becoming increasingly strong and spreading getting wider and wider. Is the reason behind this because the monsters from the Void World were personally involved?
At this thought, Su Jingxing decisively returned to the real world through the hole and descended to the southwest.
If he were to take a plane or fly in a straight line, it would take at least a day or two to get from Qinghe City to Luori Prefecture.
However, he could reach it in a few minutes through the Void World.
The moment Su Jingxing's Essence Soul descended, he felt a super strong hurricane comparable to a force 16 one howling in the world.
Hundreds of meters to the left, there was a thick tornado that connected the sky and the ground. It wrapped around all kinds of debris and moved forward.
Everywhere it passed, trees, stones, and buildings were destroyed, allowing the tornado to carry them along. It continued to strengthen and destroy other things.
Boom! Boom!
Explosive thunder that split space resounded through the air.
Lightning and thunder!
There were actually streaks of lightning and thunder in the tornado that kept flickering!

Chapter 287 Resisting the Heavenly Might with Human Strength!
"Thunderstorm…"
Su Jingxing, who was in the Essence Soul state, had a thought as he watched this scene. He circulated the Six Comets Record and divined the location of the Void World monster to see if it was inside the tornado.
The results…
Not here!
This Void World monster that had entered the Yu Nation was not inside the tornado that was sweeping in front of Su Jingxing. Instead, it was thousands of meters to the right.
He had to move closer to confirm the exact location.
Using the heavenly secret art, the other party's position was not fixed and was constantly moving. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of catching it.
In other words, it would take a certain amount of time!
Since he couldn't take care of it quickly, then this lightning storm might be of use to Su Jingxing
Charging!
That's right, charge Thunderbolt.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing decisively turned around in his Essence Soul state and returned to the Void World. He took the paths in the Void World and returned to the Green Cloud Mountain Range. His soul power wrapped around his main body before he stepped into the Void World again.
What was worth mentioning was that after Su Jingxing's main body entered the Void World, his breathing stopped. It was as if his entire body was wrapped in an invisible energy.
He couldn't move or breathe.
This mass of energy was getting tighter and tighter, constantly squeezing inward.
Su Jingxing felt the pressure. His internal organs were the first to suffer the impact, followed by his brain.
Immediately, he activated his transcendent body to withstand the pressure.
However, Su Jingxing realized that even with his transcendent body activated, he wouldn't be able to last long with its defensive power.
It would become ineffective in two minutes at most.
His body made of flesh and blood could not withstand this unknown and mysterious pressure at all.
Fortunately, the Essence Soul moved fast enough.
It brought the main body into the Void World and left after about a minute and a half.
In a minute and a half, Su Jingxing's main body arrived at Luori Prefecture from the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
The tornado that connected the sky and the earth continued.
In the sky and ground, endless winds were still howling.
Su Jingxing, who had regained his freedom, maintained his transcendent body. His Martial Art True Intent was semi-materialized, and he flew through the air towards the tornado.
Before he got close, he took out Thunderbolt. After enlarging it, it charged towards the tornado at lightning speed and entered it to absorb the lightning and thunder.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning danced like dragons, circling around Thunderbolt and were absorbed by it.
Su Jingxing's main body circled around the tornado.
In order to avoid being recognized, he changed his appearance, his hair became slightly longer.
He took out the long robe he had gotten from the nameless Senior and put it on.
As soon as he put on the robe, Su Jingxing's aura was immediately revealed.
He was like an immortal dashing freely through a tornado.
I can go anywhere in the world!
On the other side, the Essence Soul held the Nine Souls Ring and rushed to the right.
The Void World monster that created the hurricane had been moving the whole time.
As the Essence Soul rushed over, the Six Comets Record circulated non-stop, divining its location.
In such a state, the efficiency naturally wouldn't be high.
But at least it provided a rough location and gave Su Jingxing a vague clue.
Following this clue, the Essence Soul traversed the void and arrived outside a city.
Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Roar!
A dense gust of wind snarled like a giant beast.
The massive winds formed a spiral vortex with a diameter of more than a thousand meters outside the city.
The vortex carried dust, sand, stones, and trees that filled the sky as it charged towards the city in a mighty manner.
However, in the sky above the outskirts of the city, more than ten figures of different heights protected themselves with true essence and Martial Art True Intent manifested. They either struck out with their palms, fists, swords, or sabers, releasing powerful forces to forcefully block the impact of the hurricane.
To be able to resist the hurricane landing in the city with human strength, these people were undoubtedly top-ranked experts.
There were nearly three first-grade martial artists.
The distance was too far and the hurricane was too strong. Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could not make a specific judgment, nor did it need to.
These people's goal was to disperse the hurricane and stop it from entering the city.
Because once it did, there would definitely be countless casualties among the residents.
No matter how destructive a pure hurricane was, it could not destroy a building made of reinforced concrete in a short period of time.
However, the trees, boulders, weapons, and other objects in the hurricane could.
The rocks, the cars… they were like shells wrapped in a hurricane. With a few hits, they could knock down houses and walls. The destructive power was so strong that it was despairing.
Once it entered the city, this large city would definitely be reduced to ruins.
For this, they risked their lives to stop it.
Unfortunately, while the strength of the winds were boundless, their true essence was limited.
Su Jingxing didn't know how long they had been resisting. In any case, after his arrival, half of the dozen or so people could no longer hold on and were blown backward by the strong wind.
There was a high chance that they wouldn't die, but they wouldn't be able to continue intercepting the hurricane.
The remaining attack power was also decreasing
If Su Jingxing hadn't come, they would have lasted for at most ten minutes before being taken away by the hurricane.
Whoosh!
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing entered from the back of the hurricane.
As soon as he entered, the Nine Souls Ring was thrown in a certain direction.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As it flew, the nine rings disintegrated and turned into nine different soul rings that surrounded a strange fish that resembled a puffer fish.
After refinement, the complete Nine Souls Ring could once again become nine. Each of them had the ability to track, lock, and burn.
The puffer fish monster that was hiding inside the hurricane with its mouth puffed up could not be seen, felt, or sensed by others.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing followed the guidance of the heavenly secret arts and discovered it immediately.
The Nine Souls Ring spread out and enveloped the puffer fish, cutting off all its escape routes.
Ka!
A strange cry that pierced straight into the soul instantly sounded in the hurricane and attacked Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
"Gather!"
Through the Essence Soul, Su Jingxing controlled his nine rings to fuse together and squeeze the puffer fish inside.
Then, he circulated his soul power, and the eyes of the Essence Soul's body lit up. Swish! Swish!
Two beams of light shot out from its eyes like two sharp swords, stabbing towards the puffer fish.
The moment they approached the nine rings, two of the rings separated and allowed the sword-shaped light beam to enter and hit the puffer fish monster.
In an instant, the sharp cry became even more ear-piercing and resounded through the hurricane.
Boom! Boom!
The nine soul rings suddenly burst into flames.
The puffer fish that was curled up inside could not hide. Its wounds were instantly ignited, and its screams became louder.
But soon, its voice lowered until it stopped.
The puffer fish's entire body turned into nothingness in the raging flames.
Done!
After the source of the windstorm was eliminated, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul immediately sensed that the snarling hurricane mass was getting weaker.
Without the puffer fish creating a hurricane, it would quickly disappear.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul put away the Nine Souls Ring and left the hurricane, rushing back in the direction he came from.
"There's… someone in the hurricane?"

Chapter 288 (Card28000]
Liu Renxi focused his gaze on the hurricane and murmured.
In his field of vision, there was nothing but the hurricane.
His hands did not stop moving, and the true essence in his palm was surging.
Boom! Boom!
His palm imprints missed, and their might covered a hundred meters. Immediately after, two holes appeared on the massive hurricane.
It was the area where the two palm imprints struck!
What's going on? These two strikes are exceptionally powerful?
No, I mobilized more true essence previously, but there was no hole!
"It's the wind power!"
Liu Renxi's eyes lit up. He perked up and carefully sensed the hurricane.
The next moment, he exclaimed excitedly, "The wind is really weakening!"
"Everyone, the wind is getting weaker! Let's work harder!"
Liu Renxi raised his head and shouted.
He immediately mobilized all his remaining true essence and used his ultimate move to bombard the hurricane.
The others sensed the situation of the hurricane and realized that it was really as Liu Renxi had said. The wind was weakening, and they were immediately excited.
Palm imprints, fist imprints, saber energy, sword energy, spear shadows… Everything swarmed out and bombarded the various areas of the hurricane.
The hurricane that had weakened could not help but dissipate faster.
About five minutes later, the overwhelming hurricane finally disappeared.
Liu Renxi and company had also exhausted their true essence and stamina. They floated down from the sky, either standing, leaning, or squatting
"Someone… Someone is helping!"
A middle-aged man with half-white hair panted and said, "Someone appeared in the hurricane just now. It… it was the person who helped us."
"Old Hu, you saw it too?" A fat old man not far away said in surprise. "I thought I was the only one who saw it."
"Old Pan, are you sure you saw?" asked an old woman with silver hair coldly.
"Why? Was I wrong to have seen it?" The fat old man was surprised.
"I mean, you saw it with your naked eye?" The old woman was expressionless.
"Of course… no!" The fat old man was shocked and said in surprise, "I think I really did not see with the naked eye, but sensed it with my Martial Art True Intent!"
"Yes, I sensed it with my Martial Art True Intent." The middle-aged man with half-white hair caught his breath and said in a low voice, "I didn't sense it earlier. Now that I think about it carefully, the other party isn't a physical entity!"
"If it's not a physical entity, then what is it? If it's not a physical entity, is it still a human?" an old man interrupted.
"Of course he's human."
Liu Renxi said softly, "However, compared to us, his life level is higher."
"Um, General Liu, can you make yourself clearer?" The fat old man was puzzled.
Liu Renxi did not explain. With a tap of his toes, he soared into the air and said in a low voice, "The winds have not completely stopped. Everyone, we still have work to do. Let's go to the next city."
"Yes, yes. Let's go. We've rested enough, we should move on to the next city."
"Who do you think this expert who helped us
is?"
"Who cares who he is? Anyone who comes out at this time to help dispel the hurricane is a good man!"
"The problem is that the other party isn't a physical entity, which means that it wasn't a physical body. How did he do it? Could it be Martial Art True Intent? A Martial Art True Intent in human form?"
The others echoed and stood up.
The fat old man wanted to ask Liu Renxi more questions, but the latter had already flown far away.
As the Commander and General of the Luori Prefecture Army, Liu Renxi knew about the existence of Martial Sages.
The figure that had helped break the hurricane was most likely a Martial Sage, a Transcendent-grade expert!
But he couldn't tell if this was the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage or someone else.
If he was the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, why didn't he appear earlier to stop the wind disaster?
If he wasn't the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, wouldn't that mean that the Yu Nation had produced another Transcendent-grade expert?!
"This isn't right, why hasn't the tornado dissipated yet?"
In the sky, Su Jingxing's main body circled around the wind pillar. He sensed the tornado caused by the lightning and thunder, but it showed no signs of dissipating.
Instead, it became stronger and stronger. As it moved in the wilderness, its diameter kept increasing
Everywhere it passed, dust, stones, and trees were destroyed and broken. Then, they were swept up and wrapped up before continuing to sweep along
But isn't the source of the wind disaster, the puffer fish monster, already dead?!
The source has been cut off, so why is the tornado still here?
Although as long as the tornado remains, Thunderbolt would be able to absorb more lightning and thunder, if I do not figure out the reason and get rid of the tornado, and allow it to continue sweeping on its way, that would definitely affect the cities of Luori Prefecture and cause countless casualties.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing circulated the Six Comets Records and divined the reason.
The result showed that the source was still there!
"The source is still there? The puffer fish… Wait!"
Suddenly, Su Jingxing was shocked. He thought of something and said solemnly, "That's right. The source isn't cut off because the puffer fish monster isn't the source of the tornado! There are other monsters besides the puffer fish monster that escaped from the darkness and entered the Void World to invade the Yu Nation!"
The puffer fish was only the source of the hurricane.
At this thought, Su Jingxing circulated the Six Comets Records again and divined the source of the tornado.
This time, it took a little longer. It took a full half an hour to calculate the approximate location.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing immediately changed directions and rushed over.
Skipping through space!
The Essence Soul leaped through space all the way. Soon, it left the territory of the Luori Prefecture and entered the Daqin Prefecture.
It continued to move… until it saw an even larger tornado appear in its vision.
In the center of the storm, a city was being attacked by a tornado, with buildings getting destroyed.
Glass shards, walls, cars, dust, and debris danced in the sky as the tornado swept past.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing had just approached the city–
(Card28,000]
(Card5952]
Notifications!
He had actually extracted thousands and tens of thousands of Function Cards.
Shocked, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul quickly scanned the source of the tornado.
People had died.
When the tornado arrived in the city, hundreds of thousands of people died.
D*mn it, what is the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation doing?!
Su Jingxing growled angrily in his heart. The Essence Soul rushed into the center of the storm, avoiding the constant bolts of lightning and searching for a target.
In the end, he did not find the Void World monster.
The heavenly secret guidance of the Six Comets Records was still pointing at this tornado.
Although the direction was very vague, this Void World monster…
Wait!
Su Jingxing snapped back to his senses.
It's still here, but not in the city.
If not below, what about above?
With this in mind, the Essence Soul raised its head and looked at the upper half of the tornado that connected to the horizon.
The next moment, a snake-shaped monster that was hundreds of meters long appeared in its vision.
It had an electric eel-like body, but there were tentacle-like structures growing on both sides.
Bolts of lightning shot out from its body and flew into the tornado as the tentacles danced.
Crack!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Electric arcs descended from the sky like a curtain, heading straight for Su Jingxing who was in his Essence Soul state.
The snake-shaped monster had discovered Su Jingxing!

Chapter 289 The Only Martial Sage! (1)
Swish! Swish!
The Essence Soul's eyes lit up as it released sword-shaped beams.
As soon as Sword Eyes opened, a crack was forcefully torn open in the curtain of electric
arcs.
Swoosh!
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing soared into the sky and followed the crack towards the horizon.
Boom! Boom!
Sensing this, several bolts of lightning shot out from the body of the snake-shaped monster and condensed into a ball that struck down from the sky.
Its target was Su Jingxing's Essence Soul. Swish! Swish! Swish!
Su Jingxing condensed the Heaven Origin Saber and released it from a distance to intercept the attack.
In an instant, more than ten Heaven Origin Sabers flew out to block the lightning and thunder.
Although the might was limited and it wasn't a true soul skill, the dozen or so Heaven Origin Sabers kept blocking and managed to resist the first wave of lightning and thunder.
When Su Jingxing released the Nine Souls Ring, the flaming ring flew over and struck the lightning and thunder. Without much effort, it shattered the lightning and thunder.
After that was done, the Nine Souls Ring split into nine rings and charged into the sky with blazing auras.
At the same time, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul followed the crack that Sword Eyes tore out and arrived beneath the snake-shaped monster.
The heavy might brought about by this huge Void World monster's body was shocking and terrifying
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul kept Sword Eyes open, and the sword-shaped light beams never stopped. Now that they had struck the lower abdomen of the snake-shaped monster, only leaving a mark.
Under the control of the Essence Soul, the dispersed rings struck many areas, but still did not cause any wounds.
The terrifying defense had it that the snake-shaped monster did not roar in anger. Instead, it only shook its tentacles and released crackling electric arcs that surrounded its entire body.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing was too close and was affected immediately.
Immediately, the Essence Soul felt a sharp pain on its body as white smoke appeared.
Enduring the pain, it opened Sword Eyes again and aimed at a spot on the snake-shaped monster's abdomen, attacking non-stop.
Whoosh!
The hurricane howled through the air.
The snake-shaped monster twisted its body and dodged the attack. Its huge body first sank and crashed into Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, then turned around, forming a huge arc.
Swish!
Twisting and circling like a snake, the snake-shaped monster's head circled behind and opened its mouth to bite Su Jingxing's Essence Soul at an extreme speed.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing had suffered a heavy blow and was falling. Just as he sensed danger, the snake-shaped monster's huge mouth had already arrived and bit him.
Immediately, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was sucked into the snake-shaped monster's abdomen.
It was similar to how his main body was wrapped up by the invisible pressure of the Void World and unable to move.
At this moment, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was also immobilized. It opened Sword Eyes and released a sword-shaped beam that shot towards the invisible barrier wrapping around it.
It was effective!
But it would take time to penetrate through.
However, with the squeezing pressure that was constantly tightening, there wasn't much time for the Essence Soul to shoot.
In three minutes… no, two minutes at most, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul would be completely imprisoned and unable to open Sword Eyes.
By then, the Essence Soul would really become a lump of flesh in the stomach of the snake-shaped monster and slowly melt away. Would the Essence Soul die? Yes!
en
The Essence Soul hatched from a Divine Embryo was not immortal.
In the face of terrifying power, it could still be injured and die.
At this moment, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul had encountered such terrifying power. If he didn't think of a way fast, it would quickly dissipate.
What should I do?
It will take time for the Sword Eyes to tear through the restraints on its body. The Nine Souls Ring's attacks on the snake-shaped monster's body has limited lethality, and its defense cannot be penetrated.
This isn't because the power of the Nine Souls Ring had failed, but because the snake-shaped monster was too powerful.
The ostrich and puffer fish monsters from before were nothing compared to the snake-shaped monsters.
It was like the difference between a chick and an elephant.
Between the two, it was like…
Wait!
Elephant?
Yes, the Heaven Trampling Elephant!
I can also visualize the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
Even though the Demonic Heaven Trampling Elephant Diagram was a mental secret ability and he didn't know if the Essence Soul could visualize it, he couldn't care less now.
Strictly speaking, Essence Souls were purer, more prominent, and more solid than mental power.
So…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Circulating his soul power, light flickered. In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing's body kept glowing
Accompanied by a loud and clear elephant trumpet, a Heaven Trampling Elephant was successfully visualized.
as
Under his deliberate control, the Heaven Trampling Elephant did not appear above or behind Su Jingxing. Instead, it appeared around the Essence Soul.
It was equivalent to Su Jingxing's Essence Soul adding a Heaven Trampling Elephant armor to itself!
The strange and terrifying force that was squeezing Su Jingxing's Essence Soul in the snake-shaped monster's abdomen was successfully blocked by the Heaven Trampling Elephant.
SU
The pressure targeted the Heaven Trampling Elephant instead.
Although this process also consumed soul power, it finally gave Su Jingxing's Essence Soul a chance to counterattack.
First, he controlled the Nine Souls Ring on the outside to merge the nine rings into one. Then, he rounded towards the snake-shaped monster's head and headed straight for it.
Roar!
A soul-piercing roar sounded.
The snake-shaped monster was indeed fooled. It opened its mouth and swallowed the Nine Souls Ring.
The Nine Souls Ring was not Su Jingxing's Essence Soul. It was not damaged at all by the invisible and terrifying pressure.
Instead, it took the opportunity to release raging flames and burn the snake-shaped monster from the inside.
In its complete state, the Nine Souls Ring had the strongest burning power.
Su Jingxing catalyzed the power with all his might.
Hu hu hu
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Circulating his soul power, the burning power of the Nine Souls Ring erupted in large amounts and swept through the snake-shaped monster's body.
Roar!
The snake-shaped monster roared in anger.
A repulsive force wrapped around the Nine Souls Ring and pushed it towards its mouth.
"You want to throw up? It's too late!"
Su Jingxing growled. While maintaining the Heaven Trampling Elephant to resist the pressure, he controlled the Nine Souls Ring to move in the opposite direction.

Chapter 290 The Only Martial Sage! (2)
The snake-shaped monster regretted devouring the Nine Souls Ring, but Su Jingxing didn't give it a chance. He continued to drive the Nine Souls Ring, burning furiously!
The snake monster's roars intensified, and its shock and anger quickly turned into agony.
This terrifying monster from the Void World could release lightning and gather tornadoes.
Inside, other than a terrifying squeezing pressure, it had no other methods.
Faced with the burning of the Nine Souls Ring, it lasted for less than five minutes before screaming in fear and leaping everywhere.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could sense that the snake-shaped monster had escaped the tornado and retreated from the city where the storm had landed.
Now, it was fleeing aimlessly.
Su Jingxing, who was in the Essence Soul state, did not stop it. He allowed it to escape and continued to increase the power of the Nine Soul Ring to burn in the snake-shaped monster's body.
Finally, the snake-shaped monster let out a long cry of pain and its massive body broke into two.
The Nine Souls Ring wrapped in blazing flames saw the light of day again.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul rode the Heaven Trampling Elephant back to the outside world.
Roar!
The Heaven Trampling Elephant ran in the air, swinging its trunk.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul leaped onto the elephant's back. Sword Eyes shot beams of light that pierced straight into the an eye on the head on the upper body of the snake-shaped monster that was falling to the ground.
He first destroyed an eye, then penetrated through it into the head.
In the end, he detonated the snake-shaped monster and completely destroyed it to prevent its recovery.
(Void Beast corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?)
"…Yes!"
Stopping in midair, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul looked at the two halves of the snake-shaped monster that had dissipated in surprise.
There was a card!
Previously, when he killed the ostrich and puffer fish monsters, he did not extract any cards.
This time, one was extracted from the snake-shaped monster.
Sure enough, this snake-shaped monster was different from the ostrich and puffer fish monster.
The latter two were ordinary beasts while the former was a Mutated Beast.
When ordinary beasts died, there were indeed no cards to extract.
Yet it was the opposite when Mutated Beasts died!
"Void Beast? A lifeform in the Void World?" murmured Su Jingxing. His main body took out the card he had extracted and held it in his palm to read the information.
Equipment Card!
According to the information, this snake-shaped monster was called the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.
When one gathered three Equipment Cards from the corpses of the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beasts and unlocked them at the same time, he would obtain a Soul Armor.
The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor!
The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was a soul treasure armor that focused on defense. It could be worn by Essence Souls.
The power of lightning and thunder that came with it also targeted the soul. Its lethality was not bad, but it could not be released externally. It could only slash at close range.
Even so, Su Jingxing was overjoyed.
The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor was an armor worn by the Essence Soul. It was mainly for defense.
The Moon Shield condensed from the Full Moon Breathing Technique could only defend one position, and it also consumed soul power.
The Thunder Dragon Bone Armor, on the other hand, could defend all directions, and did not require soul power to be expended.
How could such a treasure armor not be a pleasant surprise?
The only problem was that he needed to gather three identical cards.
In other words, Su Jingxing had to kill two more Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beasts!
Were there any more Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beasts that had entered the Yu Nation from the Void World?
Su Jingxing's main body and Essence Soul scanned their surroundings.
In his vision, the tornado closest to the main body was gradually dissipating.
The Essence Soul standing on the back of the Heaven Trampling Elephant also saw a tornado in the distance gradually breaking up.
Clearly, there was only one Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beasts in the Yu Nation.
Once it died, all the tornadoes dissipated. The hurricane that swept through the four prefectures first stopped, then slowly disappeared.
The windstorm was finally over.
Su Jingxing put away the card and let out a breath before recalling the Thunderbolt Sword.
The Essence Soul held the Nine Souls Ring in its hand and soared into the sky. It sensed the Void World and "saw" the border membrane. It passed through it and headed northeast.
The last time it came to the Void World to search for the Yu Nation's Martial Sage was to confirm if he was still around.
Finally, he saw the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation standing at the edge of the northeast.
Due to his scruples, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul did not go forward to greet him.
However, the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation did not appear to stop the wind disaster that had caused hundreds of thousands of casualties this time. Su Jingxing wanted to ask him if he was still asleep!
Filled with anger, he headed northeast.
From afar, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul saw the Yu Nation's Martial Sage with his back facing him again.
"May I ask…"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul began in a low voice as it strode over.
However, it only said two words before stopping abruptly.
This was because the Yu Nation's Martial Sage, whose back was facing Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, suddenly turned into a ball of mist and vanished.
Vanished…
Gone!
Dead?
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing was stunned on the spot.
What is this?
The Martial Sage of the Yu Nation died just like that?
I haven't even gotten close, and I only said two words, and he's already gone? "Or is it…"
Suddenly, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul jolted awake. He looked at the spot where the Yu Nation's Martial Sage had dissipated and saw a twisting translucent figure.
The figure became clearer and clearer. Finally, it appeared to be an amiable old man who was smiling at Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
"The heavens have spared the Yu Nation. I've finally met a successor, and such a young one at that. Good, good…"
"Wait!" Su Jingxing's Essence Soul interrupted and asked curiously, "May I ask who you are?"
As for whatever he was spouting about a successor, Su Jingxing wouldn't fall for it.
Making out the old man's identity was the key.
"Didn't you already guess it?" The old man smiled and said, "I'm the Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, the only Martial Sage in a few hundred years. You can call me Xia Changxuan…"
"Impossible!"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul blurted out, "You're Xia Cangxuan? How is that possible?!"
Xia Cangxuan, the founding ancestor of the Yu Nation.
It had been more than 400 years since then. Even if Xia Cangxuan had become a Martial Sage and guarded the Void World, he would not have lived until now.
The lifespan of a Martial Sage was 360 years.
Even if Xia Cangxuan had become a Martial Sage, he would have long died and turned into just bones.
How could he still be alive?!
Although Su Jingxing could sense that the old man in front of him was not an Essence Soul, but only a remnant soul…
Wait, remnant soul?
Shock flashed through the eyes of the Essence Soul.
"Ha, you figured it out?"
The old man met the gaze of Su Jingxing's Essence Soul's and smiled. "Under normal circumstances, I would have died long ago. Unfortunately, no one in the Yu Nation has successfully reached the Martial Sage realm. In order to guard the Void World, I had no choice but to extend my existence."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was silent.
After a while, he said in a low voice, "Why hasn't anyone succeeded? It's been 400 years, has the Yu Nation not produced a single Martial Sage?"
"There are indeed several with potential and opportunities."
Xia Cangxuan sighed and said, "Unfortunately, they all failed. Some failed at the last moment of their breakthrough and lost their lives. Some were ambushed and killed before they could make a breakthrough. Some were even assassinated by the b*stard with the surname Xiang!"
"B*stard with the surname Xiang? Xiang? The royal family of New Chu Nation?" Su Jingxing's Essence Soul continued in surprise.
"Yes, the Xiang Family of New Chu."
Xia Cangxuan said softly, "The Xiang Family has always tried to annex the Yu Nation. Over the years, they have sent batches and batches of assassins to lurk in the country to search for geniuses and confirm identities of those with potential. Once they find their target, they will carry out assassinations.
"For hundreds of years, they have failed, but they have also succeeded. Especially with those people of potential, as long as there are signs anyone emerging, they will carry out assassinations until they succeed.
"Their goal is simple, to cut off the birth of the new Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!
"I believe you've already seen the consequences of not having a Martial Sage holding down the fort."
Xia Cangxuan smiled. "There have been two consecutive disasters with countless casualties. If this were to happen a few more times, how long do you think the Yu Nation can last?"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul fell silent again.
Don't mention a few more of such disasters, just with the casualties of this wind disaster alone, the cabinet would have to pay a huge price. Only a long period of appeasement would be able to ease the pain and the panic in the people's hearts.
If the source of these disasters that were caused by the invasion of the monsters from the Void World could not be resolved, this would be an insoluble problem.
The importance of a Kingdom Defending Martial Sage could be imagined.
Before this, Su Jingxing had never thought that in the past 400 years, Yu Nation had never produced another Martial Sage.
Now he understood.
It wasn't that there were no geniuses in the Yu Nation, but that these geniuses had been killed before they could even grow!

New Chu, a country northeast of Yu Nation.
Almost 5,000 years ago, there was a powerful dynasty in the Eastern Continent called the Chu Nation.
The New Chu Nation was the nation established by its descendants.
It had been 300 years since its establishment.
Although established a hundred years later than the Yu Nation, New Chu's prosperity was not inferior to that of the Yu Nation. In fact, it was even better in some aspects.
Unlike the Yu Nation, where the royal family had long lost their authority, New Chu's imperial family, the Xiang Family, had always held great power.
They were domineering internally and were like hungry wolves to outsiders. From time to time, they would take a bite out of the surrounding countries.
The Yu Nation was the nation that New Chu wanted to annex the most.
The frictions at the borders had never stopped. Small-scale wars broke out from time to time.
Fortunately, after entering the modern era, the way of war had changed. The number of people who died had decreased when they used guns and cannons to attack from afar compared to ancient times.
However, no matter how much the number dropped, people still died. Every year, tens of thousands of people die at the border.
Almost every battle was started by New Chu.
Because of this, everyone in the Yu Nation, from the cabinet to the commoners, was filled with hatred for the nation.
Even in the New Chu Nation, there were many people who were full of complaints about the imperial family.
These matters were almost public, and many could be found online.
Su Jingxing had learned about the situation in New Chu from the Internet.
However, before this, he had never thought that the New Chu Nation would impose such harsh sanctions on the Yu Nation.
Cut off the birth of a new Martial Sage!
Without a Martial Sage holding the fort, a nation would automatically disintegrate without any attacks.
The Xiang Family of New Chu was too ruthless.
…
"The Xiang Family assassinated the potential successors in the Yu Nation. Didn't the Yu Nation retaliate?"
After a moment of silence, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul asked, "According to what I know, the people of New Chu are not living comfortably under the Xiang Family's dominant rule."
Especially compared to the Yu Nation, although the new Chu people did not have to worry about food and shelter, they had many restrictions on their freedom.
"Of course we retaliated."
Xia Cangxuan replied, "Just as you said, this is not the ancient times. The Xiang Family has always been domineering. The complaints from their people are getting louder and louder. We have also managed to rope them in to create trouble, and find their potential people to assassinate."
"In the past hundred years, a new Martial Sage hasn't emerged in New Chu either.
"However, the current Martial Sage of the New Chu is much younger than me. He has only lived for less than 200 years. The other party still has more than 160 years left to guard the New Chu Void World.
"As for me, if you still won't appear, I will be completely annihilated in at most half a year.
Xia Cangxuan smiled bitterly. "In my current state, I can only appear once, and the appearance can only last for half an hour at most. Before that, in order to extend my existence, I sacrificed and refined my Essence Soul, divine weapon, and the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to hold out for more than a hundred years.
"But, overall, it's still good. At the very end…"
"Wait," interrupted Su Jingxing's Essence Soul. "You said you also sacrificed the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal?"
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal! Xia Cangxuan had actually sacrificed and refined it!
In that case, how would the new Martial Sage quickly hold the fort over the Void World?
Take for example, Su Jingxing. It was easy to kill ostrich and puffer fish monsters, but when he encountered the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, he almost died in its abdomen.
And it was all thanks to the Nine Souls Ring that he escaped!
"I had no choice."
Xia Cangxuan sighed. "After my lifespan ended, my physical body could no longer move, and my Essence Soul began to be restricted. In the face of the Void Beasts' attacks and the invasion of the Xiang Family b*stard, I had no choice but to refine the jade seal.
"But don't worry, I've already prepared most of the materials for the new jade seal over the past hundred years."
Without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak, Xia Cangxuan quickly went on, "To forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, one needs innate Primordial Energy, 10,000-year-old Polar Ice Soul, Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal, and Soul Return Stone.
"I've found both the innate Primordial Energy and the 10,000-year-old Polar Ice Soul, and they are hidden in two secret places. I found the location of the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal, but I haven't retrieved it yet. There's only one clue for the Soul Return Stone.
"So…"
"Cough! I know, I'm really sorry, but I had no choice."
Xia Cangxuan sighed. "I'll dissipate soon. If possible, I hope you can continue to guard the Yu Nation on my behalf. Over the past 400 years, I've also collected many good things. For example, I still have a Divine Weapon Seed hidden somewhere.
"Above spirit weapons are divine weapons. The Souls Ring you have can also be called a divine weapon, but its lethality is limited. If you want to use a Divine Weapon Seed, it's best to find a real weapon. Mm, a weapon with spirit weapons attributes.
"Other than that, there are three more Sage Origin Fruits that can help you reach the third class of the Void Soul realm.
"Third class of the Void Soul realm?" Su Jingxing's Essence Soul repeated in puzzlement.
"Yes, third class of the Void Soul realm."
Xia Cangxuan smiled. "The Essence Soul can become a Primordial Spirit after going through the transformations through the Void Soul, Soul Fixation, and Soul Formation. The breakthrough of these three small realms is not easy.
"In order to make it easier to calculate and be clear which level one is at, these three minor realms were subdivided into nine classes back in the ancient times.
"When the Essence Soul has just been born, first class of the Void Soul realm.
"Take your Essence Soul state for example. It's about to enter the second class.
"The consumption of the Sage Origin Fruit can speed up the transformation of the Essence Soul. Three Sage Origin Fruits are enough for you to reach the third class.
"By the way, the Saint Origin Fruits are nurtured using the national faith through the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Xia Cangxuan added with a grin.
Old wily fox!
Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.
Xia Cangxuan's words were filled with temptation.
Want more Sage Origin Fruits?
If you do, you'll have to force a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal first.
Compared to the divine weapons used by Essence Souls, the Sage Origin Fruits were undoubtedly more useful.
This was the first time Su Jingxing had heard of such a fruit, but he was immediately tempted.
Yue Dongliu's memories did not show how one could strengthen the Essence Soul and move from Void Soul to Soul Fixation.
Other than the time when he killed the ostrich creature and absorbed the strange energy from its corpse, Su Jingxing had only tried to do so by increasing his soul power bit by bit.
Now, he just had to consume the Sage Origin Fruit!
Xia Cangxuan was afraid that Su Jingxing wouldn't want to guard the Void World, so he used this little trick. Su Jingxing admitted that he was willing to take the bait.
In any case, he still had to protect the Yu Nation for 10 years. It was no big deal to take this opportunity to forge a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Xia Cangxuan thought he had tricked Su Jingxing.
Little did he know that Su Jingxing had also tricked him!
…
"I agree."
Facing Xia Changxuan's smile, Su Jingxing also smiled and said, "Since Senior has said so, I promise to try to reconstruct the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed. Senior has also said that there is only one clue to the Soul Returning Stone among the four treasures. It's still unknown whether I can find it."
"It's okay."
Xia Cangxuan was a little excited. "Just do your best. Forging the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal is filled with difficulties to begin with. It's good that you're willing to agree."
With that, he no longer hesitated and told Su Jingxing the location of the Divine Weapon Seed, the Sage Origin Fruit, and the forging method of the jade seal.
He also shared the clues regarding the Soul Return Stone.
Finally, he said in a low voice, "If the Xia Family in the capital offends you, you don't have to hold back. You can teach them a lesson, suppress them, or exterminate them!"

Su Jingxing was surprised. "Are you serious, Senior?"
"I'm about to dissipate completely. Is there a need to joke?"
Xia Cangxuan smiled. "After 400 years of development, the Xia Family, which started from me now has descendants all over the 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation. Although the one in the capital is a main branch…
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. In short, if the Xia Family in the capital offends you one day, you don't have to have any misgivings. You can deal with them however you want!"
With that, his body distorted and began to fade, turning transparent.
"I'll leave the Yu Nation in your hands!"
The last sound echoed in his ears. Xia Cangxuan became so transparent that he disappeared completely.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul stood still and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Xia Cangxuan's tone was especially complicated when he mentioned the Xia Family in the capital.
The Xia Family in the capital was the Yu Nation's imperial family.
Although they no longer had any power, their status was evident and they were also capable enough.
Yet as their ancestor, Xia Cangxuan had told Su Jingxing that he could deal with them at will, even if he had to exterminate them!
Was this what an ancestor would say?
It could only be said that there was something wrong with the Xia Family in the capital that even their ancestor, Xia Cangxuan, could not stand.
Su Jingxing had seen talks about the Xia Family online. They indeed did not have a good reputation.
As for what exactly happened, it was unclear.
From the looks of it, the problem with the Xia Family in the capital was extraordinary.
However, as long as they did not provoke him, Su Jingxing had no interest in paying them any attention.
Xia Cangxuan dissipated completely. Su Jingxing had to quickly verify whether there were really treasures at the locations he had shared.
The first was the Divine Weapon Seed.
Considering that the few treasures were hidden separately in the various prefectures of the Yu Nation,
Su Jingxing directly passed through the border membrane using the Essence Soul to retrieve them.
Of course, before heading there, he would return to the southwest corner and repair the border membrane torn by the pufferfish monster and the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast.
Then, he returned to the center, passed through the border membrane, and arrived at the Baozhen Prefecture.
Xia Changxuan hid the Divine Weapon Seed in a rift valley in Baozhen Prefecture.
The rift valley was 500 meters deep, and three restrictions were set up in the deepest depths.
Su Jingxing followed Xia Cangxuan's instructions and successfully removed the restriction. The Essence Soul entered the depths and found the special wooden box that contained the Divine Weapon Seed.
Wrapping the wooden box in soul power, it soared into the sky and returned to the Void World.
It then went to the Qianxiang Prefecture to get three Sage Origin Fruits.
This time, Xia Cangxuan had hidden them at the bottom of a lake.
The surface of the lake was normal while three restrictions were placed at the edge of the center.
The restrictions left behind by Xia Changxuan all work in coordinate with one other. Once one was activated, the other two would also erupt.
Therefore, special steps were required to remove them. One wrong step and one would be attacked.
As for the lethality and destructive power of the restrictions,
Su Jingxing wasn't interested in knowing.
Since Xia Cangxuan dared to leave behind restrictions to protect the treasure, the might of the restrictions was definitely powerful. Even if they couldn't kill a first-grade martial artist, they could severely injure a second-grade martial artist.
Su Jingxing wasn't interested in what exactly would happen.
Similarly, he successfully removed the restrictions and obtained the special wooden box containing the Sage Origin Fruit.
Wrapped in soul power, the Essence Soul returned to the Void World with the wooden box.
Without stopping.
It went to the Wulong Prefecture to obtain the Innate Primordial Energy and the 10,000-year-old Polar Ice Soul.
The remaining Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal was hidden in Sifang Prefecture. Su Jingxing decided to go there using his main body.
The Essence Soul returned to his physical body. Other than the Sage Origin Fruits, all the other treasures were placed into his palm space.
Carrying the three Sage Origin Fruits, the Essence Soul returned to the Void World and first swallowed one before digesting and absorbing it.
The structure of the Essence Soul was extremely special.
Before this, Su Jingxing had been making attempts. He never thought that the Essence Soul could also devour things, especially unique treasures like the Sage Origin Fruit.
It was nurtured using the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal and gathered the faith of the people.
Such a method of birth was simply unheard of.
National faith?
Faith in what aspect?
Although Xia Cangxuan did not elaborate, it was most likely related to patriotism.
The more prosperous the dynasty, the more its people loved it, the stronger their faith.
The stronger their faith, more or better quality Sage Origin Fruits would be produced.
The higher the quality of the Sage Origin Fruits and the more there were, the stronger the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage would naturally become.
This virtuous cycle was even better than Su Jingxing had imagined.
No wonder a Martial Sage with the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was much stronger than a Martial Sage without it.
Xia Cangxuan had dissipated so quickly that Su Jingxing had forgotten to ask if he had entered the Soul Fixation realm.
On second thought, there was a high chance that he had.
If it wasn't for that, Xia Cangxuan's Essence Soul wouldn't have lasted for more than a hundred years after his lifespan was up.
Even if he had sacrificed and refined himself.
In other words, Xia Cangxuan was stronger than Yue Dongliu!
Feeling the Sage Origin Fruit enter its stomach, the Essence Soul's entire body felt numb as it slowly nourished and transformed. Su Jingxing silently adapted to it.
A moment later, he took out the second fruit and swallowed it.
From the outside, the Sage Origin Fruit was a glowing date that could be swallowed in one bite.
…
New Chu Nation.
The capital, Qingtian City.
In a towering tower in the northwest corner of the magnificent imperial city.
In the spacious and bright secret chamber was a middle-aged man with a burly figure and bulging muscles. His upper body was bare, and his hair was disheveled. His eyes were closed, and he was barely breathing.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
"Dead?"
The middle-aged man murmured, his eyes glowing.
"Good, the old thing is finally dead!
"After dragging on for so many years with me, he has finally dissipated completely this time.
"Without the old thing blocking the way, the Yu Nation is now New Chu's…
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes. He exclaimed in shock and anger, "How is this possible?! When did a new Transcendent-grade appear in the Yu Nation?
"D*mned old thing, no wonder he completely dissipated. So it turns out he has found a new Kingdom Defending Martial Sage!
"Heh, a new Martial Sage?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were cold and murderous.
"D*mned old thing, do you think the country will be safe after finding a new Martial Sage?
"I'd like to see what abilities this new Martial Sage has to guard the Yu Nation!"
…
The Void World, the area of the Yu Nation.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul, which had just digested the third Sage Origin Fruit, was suddenly alerted.
The Nine Souls Ring circling above his head spun at high speed, releasing flames.
"Someone was spying on me through a heavenly secret art?"
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing stood up and recalled his senses from a few seconds ago.
Moments later, he confirmed that he was not mistaken. There was indeed someone spying on him.
However, because of the timely shielding by the Nine Souls Ring, it blocked out the other party's deep prying.
In other words, the other party knew of Su Jingxing's existence, but he didn't know where he was or his exact strength.
Who could it have been?
Why are they spying on me?
…

Report chapter
Su Jingxing pondered.
Someone had used a heavenly secret art to spy on him right after Xia Cangxuan's death. Could it be the imperial family of New Chu?
Intuition.
Realizing that he was being spied on, Su Jingxing immediately felt that it had something to do with the New Chu Nation.
Such first instincts were often the closest to the truth.
Especially when he had sensed it with his Essence Soul, the accuracy was above 90%.
At this thought, Su Jingxing's good mood from advancing into the third class of Void Soul disappeared.
New Chu, New Chu!
This country had always coveted the Yu Nation and wanted to annex it completely.
Before this, Xia Cangxuan was their must-kill target.
Now, Su Jingxing had replaced Xia Cangxuan as the must-kill target.
Of course, New Chu's imperial family and Martial Sage did not know of Su Jingxing's true identity at the moment.
This gave Su Jingxing time, time to become stronger!
Su Jingxing didn't need to intervene in the war between countries. With the Yu Nation's military strength and the number of top-ranked experts, it was almost impossible for New Chu to forcefully annex them.
Unless a Martial Sage participated!
A Martial Sage was the factor in deciding the ultimate outcome between the two countries.
In other words, the New Chu's Martial Sage was Su Jingxing's target.
What realm is New Chu's Martial Sage in?
Soul Formation?
The other party could force Xia Cangxuan to sacrifice and refine everything.
Even if he isn't in Soul Formation, he is at least in the ninth class of the Void Soul realm.
Su Jingxing was currently in the third class of the Void Soul realm, at least six classes below from the other party.
These six classes were not so easy to catch up to.
After consuming the three Sage Origin Fruits, Su Jingxing had a clearer understanding of the nine classes of the Void Soul realm.
It could be said that every step forward required a full-body cleansing.
Such a change could not be eliminated by simply consuming the Sage Origin Fruit.
The Sage Origin Fruit only provided the energy for the transformation. How to fully unleash the energy and how to use it was the key difficulty.
Moreover, Su Jingxing sensed that as the transformation progressed, the amount of Sage Origin Fruits required would increase.
Now, three Sage Origin Fruits could allow the Essence Soul to step into the third class of the Void Soul realm.
If he wanted to take another step forward and reach the fourth class, Su Jingxing estimated that he would need at least five Sage Origin Fruits.
Without the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, it was impossible to obtain the Sage Origin Fruit.
At this thought, Su Jingxing became anxious.
I have to forge a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal as soon as possible!
Right, before that, I have to use the Divine Weapon Seed.
Su Jingxing had also chosen his target.
The Wandering Dragon Saber.
After Su Jingxing obtained this spirit weapon saber that belonged to the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, he had placed his own mental imprint on it.
He would add the Divine Weapon Seed to the Wandering Dragon Saber and turn it into a divine weapon.
The combat strength of the Essence Soul would immediately increase by more than half.
This was the first time he had heard of and seen a Divine Weapon Seed.
Su Jingxing's main body opened the special wooden box. The moment he saw the Divine Weapon Seed, a mysterious aura from the Void World surged towards him.
As time was tight, Xia Cangxuan, who was in a remnant soul state, did not have time to tell him the source of the Divine Weapon Seed.
At this moment, when he saw this Divine Weapon Seed that looked like jelly, was the size of an adult man's fist, translucent purple in color, its body suffused with a dim glow, and its interior was dotted with sparkling stars, his first thought was that it came from the Void World.
Apart from the mysterious aura of the Void World, the Divine Weapon Seed also gave Su Jingxing the illusion of extreme rejection.
It was as if it was telling Su Jingxing that it did not belong to this world.
It did not belong to the Yu Nation or Earth Star!
"The Divine Weapon Seed from the Void World…" murmured Su Jingxing.
The Void World was infinitely mysterious and spanned countless worlds.
Which world would the Divine Weapon Seed have come from?
Or rather, is the Divine Weapon Seed produced by the Void World?
Shaking his head, Su Jingxing stopped thinking about it.
How and where did the Divine Weapon Seed come from? These questions were too distant. Perhaps even Xia Cangxuan did not know the answers to them.
All Su Jingxing needed to know was how to use it.
He released his true essence and wrapped it around the Divine Weapon Seed, placing it together with the Wandering Dragon Saber.
In the next second, the jelly-like Divine Weapon Seed automatically turned into a pool of liquid that covered every corner of the Wandering Dragon Saber.
Then, the Wandering Dragon Saber floated up and hung in midair, emitting a purple glow.
Throughout the entire process, Su Jingxing vaguely sensed a unique aura slowly emerging from the Wandering Dragon Saber.
In the end, this aura became the Void World aura that Su Jingxing was familiar with.
When the aura stabilized, the glow around the Wandering Dragon Saber faded and it returned to normal.
No, at first glance, it looked exactly the same as before. However, on closer inspection, one would discover that the blade of the Wandering Dragon Saber was slowly alternating between being ethereal and corporeal.
Its physical body was a spirit weapon, and its illusory body was… a divine weapon!
Swish!
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul descended from the Void World and landed on the ground, reaching out to grab the Wandering Dragon Saber.
With a thought, the Wandering Dragon Saber turned from physical to illusory.
Even though it had turned illusory, it was still powerful in the Essence Soul's grip.
Success!
With the divine weapon, Wandering Dragon Saber, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul no longer had to fight the Void World monsters bare-handed.
The Sword Eyes, the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand, and the Heaven Origin Saber required soul power to execute.
However, the divine weapon, Wandering Dragon Saber, did not. It possessed its own lethality and destructive power.
Moreover, it had inherited the attributes of a spirit weapon. The higher the battle intent, the stronger the power!
Su Jingxing held the saber and sensed it for a while before the Essence Soul took it and soared into the sky, returning to the Void World.
The Essence Soul had to hold the fort in the Void World.
Xia Cangxuan had completely dissipated. If Su Jingxing's Essence Soul did not stay in the Void World, when the Void World monsters escape from the darkness at any time, that would cause another catastrophe.

Chapter 294: Demonic Energy! (2)
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul was indeed trapped for the time being.
He was "bound" to the Void World.
Fortunately, the movements of his main body were unrestricted, and the Blood Doppelganger could also go around freely.
The Essence Soul had to stay in the Void World for the time being, but it wouldn't affect him much.
This Essence Soul was obtained by accident.
The Divine Defense Card was too magical. He wondered if he could extract it again in the future.
Of course, there was also the new cultivation path left behind by the nameless senior in the underground space below the valley cliff where the big white goose was.
Becoming a Martial Sage using the physical body!
The genius theory created by the nameless senior was only missing a Deduction Card.
No, perhaps several.
Su Jingxing kept that in mind.
…
The Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal was hidden in the Dongting Mountain of the Sifang Prefecture.
After Su Jingxing retracted Thunderbolt, his main body controlled the enlarged Thunderbolt and flew straight towards Dongting Mountain.
With one charge, Thunderbolt's energy had surged by two-thirds, enough for Su Jingxing to use for a while.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He sped up.
Su Jingxing stepped on Thunderbolt and charged towards Dongting Mountain like a bolt of lightning.
"Speaking of which, I think I've heard of Dongting Mountain somewhere."
During the flight, Su Jingxing muttered the words "Dongting Mountain" and frowned in thought.
From the beginning, he had found the name "Dongting Mountain" very familiar.
Before this, I seemed to have seen it some…
"Right, Dongting Mountain!"
Suddenly, Su Jingxing's eyes lit up as he recalled where he had seen the words "Dongting Mountain".
In Di Donglei's memories!
Di Donglei, the Sect Master of the Divine Fist Sect, one of the three major sects in Qinghe City.
After Su Jingxing killed him, the Memory Card he extracted contained information about Dongting Mountain.
Because Di Donglei's father was once a disciple of the Celestial Pole Sect on Dongting Mountain.
That's right, Dongting Mountain was the location of the Celestial Pole Sect, a large sect in the Yu Nation that had existed for more than a thousand years.
Di Donglei's father was once a disciple of the Celestial Pole Sect.
As such, his understanding of the Celestial Pole Sect was very detailed.
There were also records of where the entrance to the Celestial Pole Sect was and how to enter their defense array formation.
On the other hand, Xia Cangxuan only told Su Jingxing that the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal was at the back of Dongting Mountain.
In the old fellow's eyes, for Su Jingxing, a Martial Sage, to enter the Celestial Pole Sect to pick up a few pieces of Seven-Colored Heaven Crystals was no different from entering his own backyard.
Little did he know that Su Jingxing's main body was only in the third-grade.
F*ck, would I not be able to obtain the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal if I were to barge into the forbidden back mountain area of a thousand-year-old sect as a third-grade martial artist?
In Di Donglei's memories, the back mountain of the Celestial Pole Sect is a forbidden area.
Doesn't that mean that the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal is in the forbidden area!
Since it's a forbidden area, are there any guards?
As a thousand-year-old sect, there were undoubtedly many top-ranked experts in the Celestial Pole Sect.
Third-grade and second-grade martial artists were fine, but if there were first-grade martial artists guarding the forbidden area, Su Jingxing might not necessarily be able to obtain the Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal.
Of course, now that things had come to this, Su Jingxing was definitely going into the back mountain of the Celestial Pole Sect.
If he really couldn't win and was trapped in there, at most, his Essence Soul would descend.
Let the entire Celestial Pole Sect have a taste of the might of a Martial Sage!
Cough cough!
…
With that in mind, Su Jingxing drove Thunderbolt without any scruples.
When he was close to Dongting Mountain, he put away Thunderbolt and descended from the sky. When he landed on the ground, his facial features shifted. His height, hair, and physique all changed.
Turning into another person, he concealed his aura and gently drifted into Dongting Mountain. He found the entrance and quietly entered the defensive array formation.
In Di Donglei's memories, as long as the defensive array formation of the Celestial Pole Sect was not activated, entering would not cause any abnormalities.
Once activated, one would need to hold an exclusive token to enter.
As long as nothing major happened, the Celestial Pole Sect would not activate the defensive array formation.
This gave Su Jingxing an opportunity.
He slipped in silently and shuttled through the sect like a ghost, heading straight for the back mountain.
In order to end this quickly, he wasn't in the mood to take another look at the situation inside the Celestial Pole Sect.
He only felt that there weren't many people in the sect.
Su Jingxing released his perception and sensed less than a hundred people in the Celestial Pole Sect.
A thousand-year-old sect has less than a hundred people guarding the mountain gate. Isn't that a little too few?
As he pondered, Su Jingxing approached the back mountain.
At this moment——
Roar!
A loud and irritable roar suddenly came from the back mountain.
"Quick, suppress him!"
"The array formation is broken. Five, Six, Seven, quickly take over."
"Everyone else, disperse and don't get close to the other party… Nine, what are you doing? Quickly back up!"
Bang!
Roar!!!
Angry roars, muffled sounds, and snarls sounded at almost the same time in the chaos.
Then, a series of muffled groans and shrieks came.
A majestic, manic, and tyrannical aura was released with a bang and surged in all directions.
Su Jingxing quietly approached and saw hundreds of men, women, and children in uniform gathered at the entrance of the back mountain. They surrounded a disheveled old man who was more than two meters tall and had grayish-black mist wrapped around his body. His facial features were distorted and his eyes were red.
The violent and tyrannical aura came from the old man. It gave one an extreme sense of suppression, anger, and impatience. They wanted to shout and vent.
However, the hundreds of people surrounding the old man were all emitting a faint golden glow, as if to offset the invasion of this aura.
These people spread out in an orderly manner, forming a large array formation and a small array formation.
The large array formation on the outside had the most people presiding over it. There were dozens of them in a group, and they released dense true energy of the same type that filled the air. They connected together and formed an array net that enveloped the old man, preventing him from escaping.
There were fewer people involved with the small array formations inside, but all 20 or so of them were top-ranked experts. The true essence released transformed into even stronger true energy that continuously condensed into a ball to suppress the old man.
Between the two array formations, there were seven other people who kept moving according to the changes in the array formations.
One of the middle-aged men shouted orders from time to time.
Not far behind him, a dozen people had fallen to the ground. They were groaning and had lost their mobility.
Su Jingxing watched the entire process curiously.
Previously, he was wondering why there were so few people in the Celestial Pole Sect.
Now he understood. Most people had come to the back mountain to capture the roaring old man.
This old man had clearly lost his mind, as if he had suffered Qi Deviation.
However, he seemed to be from the Celestial Pole Sect.
The middle-aged man and company had set up two array formations to trap him, not to kill him, but to suppress him.
However, the suppression was not very effective.
This was because the middle-aged man and the others had not used their full strength, or rather, they did not dare to use enough strength that might be fatal.
As such, while the frenzied old man was unable to rush out of the array formation, his attacks were exceptionally fierce, repeatedly injuring the people maintaining the array formation inside.
Su Jingxing observed carefully and sensed the old man's condition. He realized that the more agitated and furious the old man was, the stronger his aura became.
As time passed, the two array formations set up by the middle-aged man and the others began to show signs of breaking.
Roar! Roar!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The snarls were like a beast's roar, deafening and surging through the air.
With every impact, the old man exerted more and more strength.
The aura on his body became more and more prominent and strange.
Finally——
Boom!
A loud bang erupted like thunder.
A terrifying shockwave erupted from the disheveled old man's body.
The violent force instantly broke through the two array formations. Under the shockwave, everyone spat out blood and fell backward to the ground.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The shockwave did not stop and continued to spread out.
It was extremely fast and arrived in front of Su Jingxing in an instant. Su Jingxing activated his transcendent body and forcefully resisted the impact with his guard up.
However, in the other directions, the shockwave continued to sweep out.
In just a few seconds, it swept through the entire Dongting Mountain.
Buzz!
The sky trembled.
Ripples appeared in the air.
The defensive array formation was passively activated, revealing a huge hemispherical light barrier that enveloped Dongting Mountain and blocked the shockwave.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The power of the array formation and the shockwave collided, emitting light. The huge barrier rippled.
In the end, the defensive array formation won and blocked the escaping shockwave.
Roar!
In the back mountain, the crazed old man was still roaring.
Wisps of black gas that resembled poisonous pythons wrapped around his body and invaded the air.
Su Jingxing's pupils constricted.
"Demonic energy?!"
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
Demonic energy had appeared on the crazed old man's body!
Demonic energy could not be born easily.
The source of it was the Ancient Demons.
For example, the Bloodseeker Beasts that Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger had wiped out carried demonic energy on them.
However, there was very little demonic energy in the Bloodseeker Beasts' bodies.
Furthermore, because it had seeped into the Bloodseeker Essence Energy, the Blood Doppelganger could absorb and refine the demonic power and characteristics it carried.
If there was too much demonic energy, it could only be sealed.
A martial artist's true energy could resist the demonic energy, but not dissolve it.
Of course, in ancient times, there were methods to refine demonic energy.
However, these secret abilities had been lost.
This was also the reason why Su Jingxing's Blood Doppelganger caused a heated discussion after killing all the Bloodseeker Beasts and was known as the Beast Refining Blood King.
It was really difficult to get rid of demonic energy.
Right now, the berserk old man was wrapped in demonic energy. The black, python-like demonic energy was almost corporeal.
Without waiting for him to erupt, he knew the threat the old man posed!
…
"All disciples, listen up. Immediately retreat from the back mountain and set up the Nine Revolutions Star Array outside."
"All elders, listen up. Immediately set up the Celestial Pole Demon Suppression Array to kill the demon!"
The middle-aged man shouted.
With blood at the corner of his mouth, he released his aura fully. With the circulation of his cultivation, his imposing true essence lifted his body off the ground and into the air.
"Yes!"
The hundreds of disciples scattered around responded and retreated out of the mountain with their injured bodies.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All the elders soared into the sky and surrounded the crazy old man.
Although everyone was injured and their faces were pale, no one was afraid nor did anyone escape.
Under the middle-aged man's orders, they circulated their true essence and set up the array formation according to the steps of the Celestial Pole Demon Suppression Array.
They were fast. In less than five seconds, a huge mysterious imprint appeared in the air. It weighed down from above and enveloped the crazy old man.
Roar!
The berserk old man roared, endless killing intent surging in his scarlet eyes. Demonic energy surged from his body and charged towards the descending giant imprint.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The two collided, producing a dull and suppressed explosion that rippled through the air.
The dust and sand on the ground were thrown in all directions as if they had encountered a tornado.
Rings of air waves visible to the naked eye bloomed at the entrance and swept through the entire back mountain.
Everywhere it passed, trees collapsed, heaps of soil splattered, and boulders cracked.
At the center of the explosion, the crazy old man stood proudly. His hands were like eagle claws, and under the influence of the demonic energy, they continuously tore apart the imprints on his body.
As for the terrifying pressure carried by the huge imprint, it didn't seem to exist.
The berserk old man dashed left and right, jumping up and down. His movements were not affected at all.
On the contrary, the light seals that formed the Demon Suppression Array kept shattering under his demonic claws.
Although they were quickly reconstructed, the crazy old man soon crushed them again.
The middle-aged man and the others who were maintaining the array formation expended a lot of true essence.
However, the demonic energy on the old man seemed to be endless.
As true essence continued to be consumed and demonic energy surged, the crazy old man would definitely win.
Once the old man escaped from the back mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In Su Jingxing's detailed perception, even without the augmentation of the demonic energy, the crazy old man still had the aura of a first-grade expert.
It was already difficult to destroy a first-grade martial artist, let alone a first-grade who had become a heretic.
It was almost impossible for the hundreds of disciples who had retreated from the back mountain and set up the array formation outside to block such a terrifying existence.
Su Jingxing sensed the so-called Nine Revolutions Star Array. It was only a defensive array formation that relied on true energy to operate. With their numbers, they might be able to hold back the crazy old man for a while, but in the end, it would definitely collapse.
To kill the old man, Su Jingxing would have to step in.
No, to be precise, it was Su Jingxing in his Essence Soul state.
I wonder if the power of the Essence Soul can destroy the old man's demonic energy?
…
Roar!
The roar shook the forest, waves of air surged, and flames surged into the sky.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Under the Demon Suppression Array, the crazy old man became more and more berserk. Streaks of demonic energy coiled around his body like dragons and snakes, augmenting his claws and tearing apart the light seals.
Thump!
With both feet pushing off the ground, the berserk old man took advantage of the temporary hole in the Demon Suppression Array and soared into the sky, pouncing towards a long-haired old woman.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The demonic claws tore through the air, spilling blood.
In just a breath, the long-haired old woman was torn into pieces before she could even scream.
"No!"
An old man across from the long-haired old woman screamed miserably when he saw this scene.
The true essence in his body surged, and he instantly released it all. His Martial Art True Intent manifested, and a huge sword appeared in the air. It wrapped around him and charged towards the crazy old man.
During this process, another empty area appeared in the Demon Suppression Array.
Hu~
Boom!
A loud explosion that sounded like thunder resounded through the sky.
The crazy old man was struck by the giant sword and slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit that was seven to eight meters deep and surrounded with cracks.
However, he only had his clothes torn and was not injured.
Demonic energy coiled around his body as he snarled like a poisonous python, making the old man look like a demonic god.
Thump!
There was a loud bang.
The berserk old man soared into the sky again with surging demonic energy.
Buzz!
Under the maintenance of the middle-aged man and the others, the huge Demon Suppression Array descended from above their heads.
But——
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening bang, the Demon Suppression Array shattered. The light seals turned into specks of starlight that danced in the air.
The middle-aged man and the others spat out mouthfuls of blood and flew back in all directions, crashing to the ground.
When they landed on the ground, some of their bones broke, some of their true essence was depleted, some of them fainted on the spot, and some of them sank deep into the ground.
Without even trying, they knew that they had lost the ability to continue moving.
Roar!
Although the crazy old man's demonic energy had weakened by more than half and he crashed into a huge pit for the second time when he fell back to the ground, he quickly recovered.
The surging demonic energy continued to spread and wrap around the old man, causing him to break free from the ground and roar.
Thump!
The ground shook.
Under the horrified gazes of the middle-aged man and the others, the crazy old man charged towards the periphery of the mountain with a terrifying aura.
But at that moment——
Buzz!
A ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
A figure shrouded in a halo descended from the sky with torrential pressure.
The moment he arrived at the back mountain, a terrifying pressure wrapped around everyone's hearts.
The crazy old man who was charging seemed to have been struck by a huge hammer and fell miserably back onto the ground and into the pit.
Roar!
Even so, the crazy old man still snarled. With a roar, he charged out of the pit again and launched a violent attack at the glowing figure that was descending from the sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two beams of sword light shot out from the eyes of the figure at the right time. They struck the crazy old man and forced him back into the pit.
The frightening destructive power destroyed the old man's hands, arms, chest, body, and head inch by inch!

Under Sword Eyes.
The berserk old man's man that was wrapped in demonic energy was torn apart, crushed, and shattered!
Only when it shattered into pieces and scattered at the bottom of the pit did the sword light and pressure disappear.
[Mixed Bloodseeker Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
"Yes!"
Su Jingxing quietly extracted a card. In his Essence Soul state, he floated in the air and released his soul power to cover the ball of black demonic energy at the bottom of the pit.
With a thought, his soul power absorbed the surrounding sand to wrap around the demonic energy. It became a lump in the air.
Su Jingxing carefully sensed to ensure that the demonic energy would not leak out and retracted his soul power.
Thump!
The football-sized black mudball lost its control and fell to the edge of the pit.
As the mud ball rolled, the eyelids of the middle-aged man and the others twitched.
Subsided!
A second ago, they were in despair, thinking that they were doomed this time.
In the next second, the terrifying and ferocious old man turned into a pile of residue.
Almost without any ability to resist, he was sliced into pieces by the sword light and scattered at the bottom of the pit.
The change came so fast that the middle-aged man and company were stunned for a moment before they suddenly came to their senses.
"The… The Ki-Kingdom Defending Martial Sage…"
As he came back to his senses, the middle-aged man struggled to get up from the ground and shouted excitedly at Su Jingxing's Essence Soul.
"I, Wu Qifen of the Celestial Pole Sect, thank the Martial Sage!"
"Thank you, Martial Sage!"
"Wang Kaimen of the Celestial Pole Sect thanks the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, for arriving and saving us."
"Greetings, Martial Sage!"
…
When the others heard Wu Qifen's shout, they all echoed and joined in the thanking.
Everyone sounded agitated and surprised.
Martial Sage!
No one expected the Martial Sage to descend from the sky in time and kill the berserk old man.
It had been decades since the last time a Martial Sage appeared.
They did not expect the next appearance to be in the Celestial Pole Sect.
If not for the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage, all of them would have died.
The deranged old man was actually so terrifying.
Fortunately, the Martial Sage arrived in time.
…
"What was going on with him?"
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul maintained a state of illusion. In this state, the Essence Soul would glow and conceal its figure and appearance.
In the eyes of Wu Qifen, Wang Kaimen, and the others, Su Jingxing's entire body was glowing. They couldn't even take a few more glances at him. They could only lower their heads.
Faced with the question, the Sect Master of the Celestial Pole Sect, Wu Qifen, forced himself to stand up and replied respectfully, "Martial Sage, this person who turned heretic was the Supreme Elder of the Celestial Pole Sect, Luo Jinhong. He and two other Supreme Elders were guarding the entrance of the Demon's Den when demonic energy that suddenly surged invaded their bodies. The other two Supreme Elders couldn't withstand the corrosion of the demonic energy and died. Although Elder Luo Jinhong managed to withstand it, he was turned into a demon by the demonic energy. If not for the timely arrival of the Martial Sage, the Celestial Pole Sect would have been wiped out by him."
"Demon's Den?" Su Jingxing caught the main point.
"Yes, there is a Demon's Den at the bottom of the back mountain of the Celestial Pole Sect."
Wu Qifen replied respectfully, "We don't know much about the history of the Demon's Den either. We only know that the founder of the Celestial Pole Sect chose to establish the sect in Dongting Mountain mainly to guard it.
"For the past 2,000 years, every generation's Supreme Elders have guarded the entrance of the Demon's Den. Although no demons have ever come up, demonic energy will surge from time to time. At this time, we will use an array formation to force the demonic energy back.
"This time, the surge of the demonic energy was too fast and violent, which resulted in the death of two Supreme Elders and the conversion of one into a demon."
Su Jingxing kept quiet.
Demon's Den?
There is actually a Demon's Den at the bottom of the back mountain of Dongting Mountain.
The Celestial Pole Sect's mission is to guard the Demon's Den.
For thousands of years, they never stopped.
From this point of view, Wu Qifen and the others are really noble.
The Demon's Den was no joke. It was the lair of Ancient Demons. Regardless of whether the Ancient Demons were inside or not, just the remnant demonic energy was enough to cause widespread destruction.
Its invasion of Luo Jinhong and his transformation into a demon was an example.
Demonic energy was difficult to eliminate.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul could only kill Luo Jinhong with the Sword Eyes, but it could not eliminate the demonic energy.
The black mudball lying on the ground was filled with demonic energy. Su Jingxing had only temporarily imprisoned it.
To eliminate the demonic energy, perhaps the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand can do so?
Demon Suppression, Demon Suppression.
This incomplete soul skill left behind by the nameless senior could not have been named casually.
It's most likely related to restraining demons and demonic energy.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing wished he could get a few more Deduction Cards.
Without the Deduction Card, cultivating the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand was a pipe dream.
Unfortunately, Deduction Cards were rare.
…
"Take me to the Demon's Den."
With his mind racing, Su Jingxing suppressed his other thoughts and said in a middle-aged man's deep voice, "I'll send this demonic ball back while at that."
"Yes."
Wu Qifen exhaled, loosened his muscles and bones, and led the way.
A few elders with lighter injuries also followed behind.
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul floated in the air with the demonic ball.
The group entered the depths of the back mountain.
While the others were discussing excitedly with lingering fear, Su Jingxing's main body retreated silently and left the back mountain. He rushed back to the entrance of the sect and waited for an opportunity to leave.
The demon had been eliminated, and the Martial Sage had arrived.
The defensive array formation was quickly removed, and the huge semi-sphere of light disappeared.
Su Jingxing's main body found the entrance he came in from and quietly returned outside.
…
Deep in the back mountain.
In an underground space a hundred meters deep into a cave.
In his Essence Soul state, Su Jingxing stood at the edge of a pitch-black cave with a diameter of ten meters and an unknown depth, looking down at the bottom of the cave.
The Essence Soul's vision was extremely special. As long as Su Jingxing was willing, he could see it from even a thousand miles away.
However, at this moment, in the face of this cave enveloped by the array formation, not much of the inside of the abyss-like Demon's Den could be seen.
Su Jingxing estimated that his vision only reached a thousand meters at most.
There was nothing within a thousand meters.
It was empty except for a few wisps of demonic energy floating around.
Retracting his gaze, Su Jingxing's Essence Soul asked, "Has something like this happened before?"
"No."
Wu Qifen replied respectfully, "In the past, the amount of demonic energy that surged was extremely limited, unlike this time, when a large amount of it gushed out in an instant. The three Supreme Elders were caught off guard and struck. If not for…"
"There's no need to say anything else."
Su Jingxing's Essence Soul interrupted indifferently, "I'll have to continue to trouble you guys with the situation here. However, I'll come and check again."
Wu Qifen and the elders were excited.
He took a deep breath to suppress his excitement. Facing Su Jingxing, he bowed and shouted respectfully, "Wu Qifen, on behalf of all the disciples of the Celestial Pole Sect, thank you, Martial Sage!"
With Su Jingxing's words, the Celestial Pole Sect was finally secured.
The existence of the Demon's Den was like a mountain that weighed down on the hearts of all the upper echelons of the Celestial Pole Sect.
Unless absolutely necessary, Wu Qifen dared not let the disciples know.
This time, Luo Jinhong had turned into a demon and almost slaughtered the entire sect. He didn't know how to deal with the aftermath.
Now, with Su Jingxing's words, consolation would be much easier.
A Martial Sage was paying attention to the Demon's Den.
Almost half of the mountain above their heads had been moved away!

Chapter 297: New Card
It had been nearly 2,000 years since the founder of the Celestial Pole Sect established the sect on Dongting Mountain.
The Supreme Elders of each generation had guarded the Demon's Den for so long, and they had encountered demonic energy surging up, but not a single demonic creature.
Not to mention the terrifying Ancient Demons.
As such, there was a high chance that there were no Ancient Demons or demonic creatures in the Demon's Den.
The founder of the Celestial Pole Sect was most likely guarding against the leak of demonic energy.
It was unknown how deep into the ground the Demon's Den was. If there was remnant devil energy inside, it wouldn't dissipate on its own as time passed. Instead, as time passed, the more they would fuse together, making it difficult to eliminate.
Therefore, Wu Qifen and the other upper echelons of the Celestial Pole Sect were wary of the demonic energy.
Now that Su Jingxing, the Martial Sage, had joined them, they felt even more at ease.
The Demon's Den concerned the safety of the entire Yu Nation. As long as one was a citizen of the Yu Nation, they would not want to see the demonic energy leak out.
Under such circumstances, Su Jingxing got along very well with Wu Qifen and company.
Therefore, he released the demonic energy from the demonic ball back into the Demon's Den. Before leaving, Su Jingxing casually mentioned that he had heard that there was a treasure in Dongting Mountain called the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal. He wondered if he could exchange for one or two pieces.
When Wu Qifen heard this, he immediately sent someone to bring three pieces and said that they would be gifted as "specialties".
The Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal was indeed precious. It could gather the power of the universe, cleanse one's mental will, as well as all emotions such as seven affections and six desires. It was an important treasure to condense a Divine Embryo.
But compared to a friendship with the Martial Sage, it was nothing.
Putting everything else aside, just the Transcendent-grade alone gave him a lifespan of 360 years.
For such a long period of time, as long as the Martial Sage occasionally took care of the Celestial Pole Sect, the sect would make a killing.
Things would not forever be smooth sailing for a thousand-year sect.
There were also similar factions that were enemies with the Celestial Pole Sect.
Only, the other parties were not in the Yu Nation.
With the protection of the Martial Sage, it was equivalent to finding a solid trump card.
A mere Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal was nothing, even though only one or two Seven-Colored Heaven Crystals would only be produced every 10 years.
…
Wu Qifen and the others were secretly excited to get to know the Martial Sage.
Su Jingxing, who had easily obtained the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal, was also overjoyed.
The Essence Soul left Dongting Mountain and caught up to its main body. When it put the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystals into the palm space, it also took out four cards.
These four cards came from the heretic Luo Jinhong, the long-haired old woman he had killed, and the two Supreme Elders whose corpses had been left at the entrance of the Demon's Den.
Four people, two True Essence Cards with nine and 16 years of cultivation respectively.
One Deduction Card, five deduction chances, with a 70% chance of success each time.
This success rate and number of uses were surprising.
As expected of a Supreme Elder of the Celestial Pole Sect, an expert who created his own ultimate technique. Only he could give such a Deduction Card.
He should be able to complete the deduction of the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand with this Deduction Card.
And that was indeed the case.
Su Jingxing couldn't wait. He unlocked the card and deduced the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand. He successfully filled in the gaps in this soul skill and patched up two-thirds of the content.
Originally, there was only the first half of the manual. This time, there was an additional section.
Su Jingxing sensed carefully and realized that he could cultivate it now.
Of course, it would take Su Jingxing a lot of time and a few Martial Arts Practice Cards to cultivate the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand on his own.
It was unknown if there were any Martial Arts Practice Cards among the tens of thousands of cards extracted from the Luori Prefecture.
There were too many cards, so Su Jingxing endured it for now.
He held the fourth card in his hand, which was the card he had extracted after Luo Jinhong's death.
After reading the information, his pupils constricted abruptly.
The Heavenly Demon Card!
The card he extracted from Luo Jinhong's corpse was actually a Heavenly Demon Card.
Another new card.
The "Mixed Bloodseeker Corpse" that the notification indicated was different from Shi Zhinie's Inferior Bloodseeker Corpse.
He had obtained a Regeneration Card from the latter for organ regeneration.
Luo Jinhong actually gave a Heavenly Demon Card.
The function of the Heavenly Demon Card was both magical and powerful.
After unlocking it, it could turn a person into a demon!
Moreover, the person would be a demon who retained his consciousness with explosive power that he himself could control at will.
Su Jingxing had seen the lethality and destructive power of Luo Jinhong as a demon.
After the Heavenly Demon Card was unlocked, the transformed demon would only be stronger than Luo Jinhong.
It was just that the duration was too short.
After the transformation, he only had three minutes.
Once three minutes were up, he would lose this ability.
In other words, the Heavenly Demon Card was a one-time use card.
Even so, Su Jingxing couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
Transforming into a demon, this would be a great killing weapon if used well.
Su Jingxing took a deep breath to suppress his excitement and put the card away.
He kept the Heavenly Demon Card and True Essence Cards as backup for now.
The last of the four treasures needed to forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal was still missing.
Among the four treasures, the Soul Return Stone was the most important.
It was the key to absorbing the citizens' faith and mental power.
Xia Cangxuan only had one unverified clue about the Soul Return Stone.
This clue pointed straight to the Black Flame Cave!
Black Flame Cave, north of the Yu Nation, past Hong Nation, an area between Yue Nation and Guang Nation.
It was a famous forbidden area on the Eastern Continent, a perilous land…
Wait!
Suddenly, Su Jingxing remembered something.
If he remembered correctly, the hidden contents on the last page of the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven secret manual was not martial arts, secret abilities, pill formulas, or important secrets.
It was a passage and a map.
The map pointed to a land of peril.
That land of peril was not in the Yu Nation. Instead, it was located north of the Yu Nation, in a region between two large nations.
There was a paragraph attached to the secret manual that introduced the danger zone and the perilous land within.
One of the sentences had once moved Su Jingxing. He still remembered it clearly.
"Although the treasures in the land of peril can help one enter the Transcendent-grade, do not go there without entering first-grade. Remember! Remember!"
Su Jingxing was stunned.
Now that he thought back about it, he also connected it to the clue provided by Xia Cangxuan.
He could not help but be shocked.
"Could the treasure in the land of peril that the Wei Family's ancestors mentioned be the Soul Return Stone?"
Su Jingxing was bewildered.
"No, the function of the Soul Return Stone is not to advance a person to the Transcendent-grade.
"This treasure must be something else.
"But the land of peril that the Wei Family's ancestors mentioned is clearly the Black Flame Cave!"
The Black Flame Cave was a famous perilous land in the Eastern Continent.
There were precious treasures and also fearsome dangers inside.
Previously, Su Jingxing had planned to give it a visit after he reached the first-grade.
From the looks of it, he had to bring it forward.
The ancestors of the Wei Family warned their descendants not to go to the Black Flame Cave unless they were in the first-grade.
Su Jingxing's main body was in the third-grade, while the Essence Soul had to guard the Void World, both of them were not suitable candidates.
But there was no problem with the Blood Doppelganger!
What was the most important thing about the first-grade?
It was not true essence cultivation of more than a hundred years, nor was it a Martial Art True Intent that could be released and remain active outside of the physical body for a long period of time.
It was a Divine Embryo!
The Divine Embryo was the manifestation of the fusion of the physical body, true essence, and soul into one.
In this state, one's aura was restrained to the extreme, defense had reached perfection, and strength had climbed to the peak.
It was the peak period of a martial artist!
Yet.
No matter how strong he was, he was still a mortal body. How could he compare to the theoretically immortal Blood Doppelganger?

Chapter 298: The Whole Nation Is Shocked!
At this thought, Su Jingxing immediately directed the Blood Doppelganger that was left in the Changyang Prefecture City to set off for the Black Flame Caves.
The linear distance from Changyang Prefecture to Black Flame Caves was more than 10,000 kilometers.
Even if the Blood Doppelganger were to shrink into a ball and fly, it would take at least three days to reach.
During these three days, Su Jingxing's main body found an empty corner and took out the tens of thousands of cards he had extracted to read their descriptions.
And it turned out…
Essence Energy Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Internal Force Card, True Energy Card, Martial Arts Practice Card, Requiem Card, Equipment Card, Skill Card, Memory Card, Deduction Card, there a mix of everything!
Among them, there were two Deduction Cards. Each had two deduction chances, with a 20% probability of success each time.
Another had three deduction chances with a 10% probability of success each time.
Then there were the Martial Arts Practice Cards. Surprisingly, there were as many as 16 of them. The practice time they contained were not long. The shortest was only half a year, and the longest was only two and a half years.
The 47 Requiem Cards were all extracted from people who died of fear. Su Jingxing was in no hurry to unlock them and obtain the Spirit Accumulation Pills. He put them away for now.
There were eight Memory Cards, three of which contained memories of martial artists when they were alive, and five of ordinary people. Su Jingxing skimmed through them, but they were of no help to him.
There were 192 Skill Cards. Most of them were life skills, and they were repeated. A small portion of them were martial arts, but were basically low-level ones. Su Jingxing took a few quick glances and put them away as backup.
204 Equipment Cards, weapons, kitchenware, books, and so on, a bunch of useful and useless daily equipment.
There were 86 True Energy Cards with varying cultivation ages. The shortest was one year, and the longest was 11 years.
957 Internal Force Cards, just a few dozen away from breaking through the thousand mark. The years of cultivation ranged from three years to 16 years.
Su Jingxing first unlocked all the Internal Force Cards and absorbed them to convert them into true energy cultivation. Then, he unlocked all the True Energy Cards to fuse them together to convert them into true essence cultivation.
Finally, he unlocked three spare True Essence Cards and absorbed them, raising his true essence cultivation to 200 years!
The remaining cards were all Essence Energy Cards and Strength Enhancement Cards.
There were too many of them, so Su Jingxing didn't unlock them. Instead, he sorted them and stored them away.
Then, he unlocked the two Deduction Cards and deduced the last part of the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
After using up the two cards, he finally completed the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
Without stopping, Su Jingxing took out 16 Martial Arts Practice Cards and unlocked them one by one to cultivate the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand.
When all the Martial Arts Practice Cards were used up, Su Jingxing's control over the Tiangang Demon Suppression Hand had successfully reached the Advanced level.
At this level, it should be able to eliminate the demonic energy, right?
Su Jingxing pondered as he sensed the mysteries of the soul skill.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. A bad feeling struck him for afar.
Before Su Jingxing could use the Six Comets Records to divine what kind of threat it was,
the sky above his head, thousands of meters above the ground, distorted strangely.
Like water waves, ripples first appeared, then the entire surface of the water shook.
Then, under Su Jingxing's shocked gaze, the clouds in the sky instantly scattered and disappeared.
A face with unclear facial features but exuding a domineering and dignified aura appeared.
It was huge and boundless, hanging high in the sky, covering the sun and overlooking the land.
Who is it?!
Who is this person?!
Who could possess such a powerful ultimate technique?
In Su Jingxing's shock, he sensed that the huge face that appeared in the sky was not formed from true energy or worldly energy.
Instead, it was a kind of… projection?
Yes, a projection. A mirror image secret ability for one to project his face into the sky through a certain treasure.
Although his facial features had been blurred, his realm was still very high.
It was impossible to control such a treasure that could project images across domains without a high realm.
So…
"Hahaha!"
A laugh that reverberated through the sky and ground suddenly sounded.
The voice echoed fback and forth from south to north, east to west.
"Haha, Yu Nation's new Martial Sage. Do you see me?"
Swish!
Su Jingxing's expression changed drastically.
Martial Sage!
New Martial Sage?
D*mn it, this fellow with the giant face projection is a Martial Sage from another country?
New Chu?
The owner of the huge face in the air was the Martial Sage of the New Chu Nation?
Su Jingxing's thoughts raced and his expression was solemn.
Almost at the same time, the loud voice that reverberated through the sky sounded again.
"New Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, I'm from the New Chu Nation. Mm, I'm sure you've guessed it.
"That's right. I've heard that you've replaced the old fart to become the new Kingdom Defending Martial Sage. I'm here to congratulate you.
"To show my sincerity, I'll prepare a sumptuous feast on the Giant Shark Island in the East Sea in seven days. I hope you can come by then.
"I have a lot of free time. I'll wait on Giant Shark Island until sunset.
"If you do not arrive before sunset, when the sun rises the next day, I will come to the Yu Nation and personally treat you to a drink.
"Hahaha…"
His confident and arrogant laughter reverberated through the air.
The huge face that hung high in the sky slowly dissipated and the air returned to normal.
However, the information revealed in these few sentences was too f*cking shocking.
New Chu's Martial Sage and the new Martial Sage of the Yu Nation!
Before this, ordinary people, most martial artists, and even some martial artists in the top ranks did not know about Martial Sages at all.
They weren't sure what the concept of a Martial Sage was either.
Su Jingxing didn't understand why the existence of the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage wasn't shared with the people too.
It wasn't until he stepped into the Void World, learned of its origins and personally killed a Void World monster did he understand the reason.
Simple.
What did the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage guard?
The Void World!
Why?
Because there were terrifying monsters in the Void World. If no one intercepted or killed these monsters, they would invade the various countries on Earth Star and cause a insolvable disasters.
The self-combustion cases and storms that affected the four prefectures were all caused by the monsters from the Void World.
Once these matters were made public, it would only make the people panic.
Natural disasters were not natural, but due to monsters that came from the sky.
How could the ordinary people accept this?
At the slightest movement, they would suspect that it was a monster.
How could they live like this?
Panic, shock, they would be in a constant state of anxiety.
The final outcome would be chaos, chaos that spread to involve all countries and the world.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
In order to avoid chaos, the experts of the various countries on Earth Star cut off the source of the news in ancient times.
Today, New Chu's Martial Sage had exposed the existence of the Martial Sages to the world. The world was about to be alarmed.
The Yu Nation, in particular, would undoubtedly in an uproar.
With an ugly expression, Su Jingxing headed straight for the nearest city.
He found an Internet cafe and went online to check the news.
Indeed.
The people of the 18 prefectures in the entire Yu Nation were shocked.
The giant face in the sky manifested by New Chu's Martial Sage was seen in all prefectures.
As a result, everyone saw the giant face and heard the message.
"A Martial Sage? What Martial Sage? Why have I never heard of Martial Sages before?"
"I've never heard of them either. Oh my god, does Martial Sage refer to the realm above first-grade?"
"It's the Kingdom Defending Martial Sage! The Kingdom Defending Martial Sage!"
"The giant face in the sky was created by New Chu's Martial Sage. Who is the new Martial Sage of our country he mentioned?"
