Chapter 20: Li Jiuyou Is Being Hunted
Outside the Tianwu Secret Realm, many Cultivators had been teleported out, but all of them were dejected, as if they had lost a great Opportunity.
However, Qin Shanhai and Tang Rou did not see any trace of Qin Wudao, Chen Xun, Zhou Ningyu, or Qin Mengting.
Qin Feng's Divine Sense emerged, knowing that the four were currently undergoing a Legacy. He then sent a message to Qin Shanhai and Tang Rou to return to the Family, as there was no need to wait there anymore.
After receiving Qin Feng's message, the two returned to the Family. However, on their way back, they encountered someone they never expected: Ms. Li Jiuyou of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Li Jiuyou was being pursued by over a dozen Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. Li Jiuyou was covered in blood, continuously using teleportation to escape. Her expression was extremely weak, and she suddenly fell from the sky, landing right in front of Qin Shanhai and Tang Rou.
"Sister Jiuyou, how did you get such severe injuries?" Tang Rou asked with concern.
Li Jiuyou opened her eyes and, seeing Qin Shanhai and Tang Rou, weakly said, "Old Qin, I might not be able to fulfill my promise. The City Lord's Mansion of Tianyuan City coveted the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pill in my Possession. They directly attacked the auction house and seized all the Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills. You two, run quickly, don't worry about me."
Hearing this, Tang Rou became enraged and said, "Grandpa, the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyuan City is going too far! They beat Sister Jiuyou like this. I'm going to destroy the City Lord's Mansion!"
"What arrogant words! You want to destroy our City Lord's Mansion? It seems you few are in league. Then, go die together!"
At this moment, ten black-clad figures flew from a distance. Each of them was a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. They immediately attacked, not giving Tang Rou or Qin Shanhai any chance to explain.
All sorts of Spells in the sky rained down on Qin Shanhai and Tang Rou.
Qin Shanhai was also enraged at this moment and immediately launched a decisive attack.
"Blood Demon Hand!"
Qin Shanhai said coldly.
Feeling the violent spiritual Qi fluctuations emanating from the Blood Demon Hand, the ten attackers immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Not good! That person has already surpassed a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator! Let's run!"
"Want to run? Can you escape?"
The Blood Demon Hand directly covered the heads of the ten Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. Then, with a squeeze, the Blood Demon Hand instantly crushed the ten people, not even allowing their Nascent Souls to escape.
Li Jiuyou, lying in Tang Rou's arms, looked at Qin Shanhai in disbelief, her heart pounding. So strong! Absolutely too strong! The ten Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators who hunted me down, making me feel there was no escape, couldn't even withstand a single exchange in Old Qin's hands before exploding! Could Old Qin be a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator?
But in Heavenly Origin City, she had never heard of such a powerful Soul Transformation Cultivator.
"Grandpa, Sister Jiuyou is too severely injured. Why don't we take her back to the Qin Family to recuperate?" Tang Rou looked at Qin Shanhai at this moment.
Qin Shanhai took out a healing Medicinal Pill from his Storage Ring and handed it to Li Jiuyou.
"Ms. Li, please take this Medicinal Pill first to stabilize your injuries," Qin Shanhai said.
Li Jiuyou nodded, took the Medicinal Pill, and then the three headed towards the Qin Family.
At this moment, inside the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyuan City, a guard stumbled into a magnificent hall.
"City Lord, it's bad! The Soul tablets of the ten personal guards you sent out have all shattered!"
Hearing the guard's words, Wu Xiong crushed the jade teacup in his hand and then said coldly,
"Li Jiuyou is merely an Early Stage Nascent Soul ant. How did she manage to escape the pursuit of ten Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators?"
The guard quickly said, "City Lord, I suspect Li Jiuyou has a powerful expert assisting her. Because the Soul jade tablets of those ten personal guards all shattered at the same time, only a Soul Transformation expert could achieve this."
Wu Xiong's expression turned grim upon hearing this, and he immediately left the hall.
Wu Xiong now entered a secret chamber and knelt before a black-clad figure, saying, "My Lord, the plan to eliminate Li Jiuyou has failed. A master intervened and saved Li Jiuyou."
"Useless! You can't even handle such a small matter!" The black-clad figure struck Wu Xiong's chest with a palm, causing Wu Xiong to immediately spit out fresh blood.
However, Wu Xiong dared not resist in the slightest, remaining on his knees, and then said, "My Lord, Wu Xiong knows his mistake."
The mysterious black-robed figure sneered,
"It seems the Li Family finally couldn't sit still. However, it was your Li Family who broke the agreement first, so don't blame us for being merciless! Haha!"
"Wu Xiong, I'll give you one more chance. Within three days, find Li Jiuyou's exact location, or don't blame me for being merciless!"
Then the mysterious person activated a Restriction, and Wu Xiong immediately fell to the ground, screaming continuously, then said, "My Lord, I was wrong! I will definitely complete the mission this time and not disappoint you, please, My Lord, spare me."
The black-robed figure snorted coldly and then disappeared from the room.
Wu Xiong left the secret chamber and then said to a guard, "Send out everyone in the City Lord's Mansion! Search for Li Jiuyou with all your might! If you don't find her within three days, all of you will die!"
"Reporting, City Lord! There's a lead on the whereabouts of Deputy City Lord Zhai and the ten Imperial Guards!" a guard reported.
"Speak!"
"According to the information gathered by your subordinate, the disappearance of Deputy City Lord Zhai and the ten Imperial Guards might be related to Lou Wei. Lou Wei had sought out Deputy City Lord Zhai before his disappearance. Furthermore, your subordinate interrogated the attendant of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the five Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul Pills of the Jiuli Chamber of Commerce came from the Qin Family of Heavenly Origin City. After that, Lou Wei disappeared, suspected of attempting to kill for treasure."
"The Qin Family of Heavenly Origin City? What kind of force is that?" Wu Xiong asked, puzzled.
"Reporting to the City Lord, the Qin Family was originally a Foundation Establishment Family. However, they've been incredibly mysterious recently. The Qin Family annihilated the Wu Family, and the scouts we sent to investigate disappeared mysteriously before even entering the Qin Family's territory."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiong had a strong premonition that Li Jiuyou's disappearance was definitely related to the Qin Family. He then immediately informed the mysterious black-robed figure of the news.
"The Qin Family? Very good, haha! They've truly helped me greatly! As a token of gratitude, let the Qin Family be annihilated!"
At this moment, Qin Wudao, Qin Mengting, Chen Xun, and Zhou Ningyu appeared in a mysterious space.
The Soul bodies of Wu Bijun, Wu Sixuan, Wu Potian, and Wu Changkong were communicating within the Soul Sealing Pearl.
"Big Brother, the Aptitude of these young ones is simply Heaven-Defying! Like us, they all have the potential to become Half-Emperors. If we can find some more Heaven And Earth Treasures, becoming Great Emperors is within reach!" Wu Bijun said at this moment.
"That's right! Two boys and two girls, just in time! Are they Cauldron for us four siblings? If we possess them, I believe that in just 500 years, I will definitely return to my Peak!" Wu Sixuan said excitedly.
Hearing the words of Wu Sixuan and Wu Bijun, Wu Potian, as the eldest brother, roared, "Possession? Your actions are no different from the Demonic Path! Did the Old Ancestor leave the Soul Sealing Pearl for us to possess others? You have disgraced the Old Ancestor!"
At this moment, Wu Changkong said with a smile, "Little Sister, these few are not someone we can touch. Do you think a barren place like this could produce Immortal Sprouts with Quasi-Emperor level Aptitude? And haven't you noticed that the Cultivation Technique they use is at least 20th-grade? A force capable of cultivating such Disciples must have at least a Half-Emperor overseeing it. If we were to possess them now, you wouldn't even know how you died. Big Brother is straightforward, don't blame him. He's also worried about you."
Wu Sixuan and Wu Bijun thought back at this moment, and indeed, it was true. If they really did possess them, it would indeed ruin their hundred years of planning, and they would lose their only hope.
Then they said, "Big Brother, we know we were wrong."
Wu Potian said, "Since you know your mistake, then let's begin choosing."
Wu Sixuan pointed at Qin Mengting at this moment and said, "Big Brother, I choose her. Her personality aligns well with mine."
Wu Bijun pointed at Zhou Ningyu and then said with a smile, "Since Little Sister chose her, then I'll choose this girl."
At this moment, Wu Potian said, "Second Brother, what's your choice?"
Wu Changkong pointed at Chen Xun and said with a smile, "I'm interested in this little brat. I'll choose him."
"Since everyone has made their choice, let the Legacy begin. We will meet again if fate allows, whether in the south or north."
Then four Souls directly flew into the foreheads of the four.
However, just as they entered the Sea of Consciousness of the few, they were scared stiff by the illusory image of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. This was the Soul Suppressing Pagoda! Because any Soul captured by the Demon Suppressing Pagoda would have no chance of escape.
At this moment, within Qin Wudao's Sea of Consciousness, Wu Potian's Soul trembled incessantly. Although it was only an illusory image of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, even an illusion was not something he could contend with in his current state.
Dense beads of sweat flowed from his forehead. He felt fortunate that he had just warned his two younger sisters, otherwise, with their reckless personalities, they would surely be suppressed into ashes by the Demon Suppressing Pagoda the moment they attempted Possession.
Suddenly, Wu Potian felt an Aura so powerful it could destroy Heaven and Earth fixated on him. Then, a sword condensed within Qin Wudao's Sea of Consciousness.
The moment he saw it, Wu Potian was utterly terrified and immediately knelt down, muttering,
"Great Emperor Soul Sword! It's actually a Great Emperor Soul Sword! And it's a Great Emperor in their prime! Which super great force's Disciple is this, exactly?!"
