Chapter 427: 273: Enemy from the Xuan Yin Sect _1
Faced with the coercion of the three Nascent Soul cultivators, Chu Dieyi had no choice but to stop.
However, she did not display any signs of panic, and remained humble yet dignified.
“I just want to ask you one thing.”
“Is my son Qi Yongqing’s death related to you?”
Nascent Soul cultivator Qi Heng was staring intently at Chu Dieyi.
Although the plot by his son Qi Yongqing to capture Chu Dieyi was known by only a few, still some cultivators from the Sky Demon Sect who disliked Chu Dieyi had spilled the beans.
Even though there was no concrete evidence.
But it was sufficient to prove that his son indeed had contact with Chu Dieyi before his death.
Moreover, his son’s death must have a significant connection with this woman.
He needed no evidence at all.
All he needed was a shred of suspicion to confront her.
“Of course, it has nothing to do with me.”
“I’ve barely met your son Qi Yongqing a few times.”
“I wonder if fellow cultivator Qi misunderstood something?”
“I hope fellow cultivator Qi won’t believe the rumors.”
Chu Dieyi firmly denied it, she naturally wouldn’t admit that this matter is related to her.
And she also knew that they would have no evidence to prove it.
Because her husband handled the matter very cleanly.
“Still making excuses.”
“You were able to advance to Nascent Soul stage, and it’s most likely due to my son.”
“You must have used your beauty to seduce my son, committed a murder and stolen treasures.”
“You took away the various items for Nascent Soul cultivation from my son to successfully form your Nascent Soul.”
Qi Heng, the Nascent Soul cultivator, was filled with killing intent.
He was convinced that this wicked woman had plotted against his son, squeezed out all the remaining value from his son,
That was why she was able to successfully form her Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, how could this woman possibly form her Nascent Soul so quickly?!
“Why bother with this woman.”
“Since when do we in Xuan Yin Sect need to bother about evidence when we do things.”
“Since this woman is on her own, capture her alive, and apply torture.”
“I would like to see if this woman dares to remain stubborn.”
The Red Ghost Old Ancestor had already lost his patience.
The terrifying ghost aura released from his body made the sky within hundreds of miles dim. It was covered by endless ghost aura, as if it had transformed into a dark Ghost Domain.
“Red Ghost Fellow Daoist, dare you lay your hands on me?”
“I am a Nascent Soul elder of the Sky Demon Sect, are you planning to start a war with the Sky Demon Sect?”
Chu Dieyi’s face changed, she didn’t expect him to make a move right away without any hesitation.
“Foolish. After killing you, won’t no one know that we from Xuan Yin Sect did it?”
“Moreover, I have a feud with your Master Qian Ziyun, it’s this woman who hinders me from advancing to the late stage of Nascent Soul.”
“It’s a grudge for obstructing the path.”
“Since I can’t deal with Qian Ziyun, dealing with her disciple is the same.”
The Red Ghost Old Ancestor chuckled coldly. Clearly, the reason he agreed to Qi Heng’s request to team up was because he held a grudge against the Sect Master of the Sky Demon Sect. He wanted to take this opportunity to take her disciple as a way of getting revenge.
Boom~~
With a wave of his hand, he immediately released three ghostly fiends from his body.
They were as tall as eighteen meters, resembling giants, their bodies pitch-black, heads crowned with a single horn, instilled with a fearsome ghostly aura. Each of them was a Fourth Stage ghost, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Level entity.
These were the Red Ghost Old Ancestor’s trump cards.
Precisely because he commanded these three Fourth Stage ghosts, his combat power greatly exceeded that of his peers.
Even among mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he could be placed at the top of the rankings.
“Die, consume her for me.”
The face of the Red Ghost Old Ancestor twisted, his hands forming seals, deploying his skill.
Suddenly, the eyes of the three Fourth Stage single-horned ghosts radiated a malevolent light, penetrating the void as a vast ghostly aura blanketed hundreds of miles, seeming to engulf the sky in black, blotting out the sun.
Even in the middle of the day, sunlight was unable to pierce the black fog.
The surrounding temperature plummeted rapidly, causing people to shiver uncontrollably. Even the vast sea was frozen by this chilling aura, forming a thick layer of ice.
“Yellow Luo Umbrella!”
Chu Dieyi calmly pulled out a top-grade defensive artifact from her body, a yellow umbrella appeared over her head, immediately generating a thick yellow barrier covered with densely packed runes.
Boom!
In an instant, the three Fourth Stage single-horned ghosts charged, transforming into ghost claws, brutally hammering against the top-grade defensive artifact, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Boom~~
Merely with one hit, the yellow barrier couldn’t withstand the ferocious force, immediately shattering into pieces, cracks appeared on this defensive artifact.
Simultaneously, the chilly ghostly aura invaded, capable of freezing the meridians within a cultivator’s body, causing one’s limbs to tremble in the cold.
Unable to withstand such an attack, Chu Dieyi was sent reeling thousands of meters away.
The surrounding sea was agitated by this shockwave, creating a massive tidal wave.
A horrifying tidal wave formed, submerging the surrounding unknown islands.
“Could he really be this powerful?!”
Chu Dieyi was taken aback, naturally, she had heard of the fame of the Xuan Yin Sect’s Red Ghost Old Ancestor.
The latter was a renowned Saint Heir in the Xuan Yin Sect during his youth.
With his Ghost Controlling skill, his reputation echoed throughout the Canglan Sea.
Once, to cultivate a powerful ghost, he paid the price of slaughtering all lives on an island, using them as food for his Fourth Stage ghost.
But she never thought that after so many years, he had managed to cultivate three Fourth Stage ghosts.
If he had the chance to advance to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, he might truly be able to challenge her master.
Unfortunately, it seemed his path was blocked by her master, making it impossible for him to advance to the Late Nascent Soul Stage.
This was a grievance of denying advancement, no less than a grievance of killing one’s father.
No wonder he was so angry, intending to kill her, his disciple, to vent his anger.
“A cultivator who has only recently advanced to Nascent Soul can withstand the attack of my three Fourth Stage ghosts?”
“As expected of the Sky Demon Sect’s Saintess, possessing Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, and reportedly possessing a special physique.”
“Your talent is no less than your master Qian Ziyun.”
“If that is the case, then I can’t let you live.”
“Otherwise, the Sky Demon Sect might end up ruling the demon sects if a second Qian Ziyun emerges?”
The Red Ghost Old Ancestor emanated a more terrifying killing intent.
Just a fleeting spar revealed Chu Dieyi’s stable foundation. She was definitely not someone with a weak foundation, and her chances of advancing to the Late Nascent Soul Stage in the future were about seventy to eighty percent.
Enough to prove the astonishing talent of this woman.
But the more it was like this, the less he could leave this woman alive.
This was not just for revenge, but also to eliminate a major enemy of the Xuan Yin Sect.
Even if they all belonged to the demon cults, there was also competition among them.
They could not allow the Sky Demon Sect to monopolize the power in the future.
