108: Chapter 108: Soul Control Token, Suppressing and Killing Tie Cangmu, Achieving Perfect Golden Body

Tie Cangmu roared as he sacrificed his Spirit Treasure, only to be forced back repeatedly by the torrent of Talismans.

He finally understood that this monk wasn't engaging in a duel of Spells at all, but was simply smashing people with Talismans!

Standing beside Heartless, Jiang Yan watched this scene with a slight curl of his lips:

'This bald donkey has potential; he's using my Talismans quite handily.'

Under the bombardment of high-Rank Talismans, Tie Cangmu was left in a wretched state. Since stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, he had never suffered such humiliation, especially from two juniors.

"Boom!"

Tie Cangmu was covered in blood as his eighth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivation erupted completely, forcibly shattering eighteen Vajra Demon-Subduing Chains!

His eyes were blood-red, and the spiritual power around him burned into eerie green flames, scorching the space until it warped.

"Little bastards... Today, even if I have to drop my Realm, I will drag you down with me!"

He suddenly tore open his robes, revealing a pitch-black 'Infant Incineration Pill' embedded in his chest over his heart!

The monk Heartless's expression changed drastically: "Not good, he's going to self-detonate his Nascent Soul!"

Jiang Yan, however, still had a smile on his face and even had the leisure to pick his ear: "What's the rush? Let him detonate. Let's see how he explodes. I don't believe that with all the preparations I've made, he can still explode in front of me!"

Before his mockery could fade, Tie Cangmu had already crushed the Infant Incineration Pill with a sinister grin... "Puff."

The expected earth-shattering explosion did not occur, plunging the Blood Abyss space into a moment of dead silence.

Tie Cangmu stared blankly at his chest, discovering that his Nascent Soul... had actually been frozen!

Jiang Yan's fingertip was wound with an almost transparent thread as he said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, while you were chasing us earlier, and within those last Lightning Talismans I threw out... I mixed in seventy-two 'Soul Control Tablets'."

Tie Cangmu finally realized that his Divine Soul and the surface of his Nascent Soul were at some point covered in transparent threads, making it impossible to even self-detonate!

The monk Heartless had already pulled out his wooden fish and began chanting the Rebirth Mantra: "Amitabha, may Benefactor have a safe journey."

Jiang Yan walked slowly up to Tie Cangmu, a smile of a successful scheme on his lips: "Actually, if you had just fought steadily, we really wouldn't be your match. But who told you that my plan was specifically tailored for you?

If I hadn't forced you to erupt all your cultivation, these underhanded methods of mine would have been hard-pressed to harm you. Unfortunately... you were too impatient!"

As he finished speaking, he began to tighten the transparent threads in his hand.

Seeing Su Chen's smug look, Tie Cangmu gave a wretched laugh: "I will swear to the Heavenly Dao with my soul to curse you to a miserable death, to curse you to be struck dead by Lightning Tribulation during your breakthrough!"

Hearing Tie Cangmu's curse, Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'll accept your blessing. Now, it's time to send you on your way!"

As the threads in Jiang Yan's hand grew tighter, Tie Cangmu's expression became increasingly distorted.

His Divine Soul was forcibly dragged out by the Soul Control Threads, followed by the green Nascent Soul in his chest.

"Su Chen! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off..."

*Whoosh!*

The moment Tie Cangmu's Divine Soul and Nascent Soul were pulled out, his Physical Body rapidly withered away.

[Killed eighth-level Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator Tie Cangmu. Gained Experience: 57,000. Gained life span: 4,109 years. Gained life span: 5,762 years.]

[Current Experience: 103.37%]

[Level Up Successful]

[Current Experience: 3.37%]

[Plundered 2.7 essence from Tie Cangmu]

[Plundered Intermediate Spell: Blood Firmament Technique from Tie Cangmu]

[Plundered Intermediate Martial Skill: Blood Wave Palm from Tie Cangmu]

[Plundered Intermediate Martial Skill: Calming Tide Fist from Tie Cangmu]

With the level up, the qi-blood in Jiang Yan's body instantly turned violent. Originally at Golden Body Minor Achievement, he stepped directly into Golden Body Great Perfection.

Even his sealed Divine Soul loosened slightly, like a Vicious Beast about to break its Seal.

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together, then his right hand snatched up the wooden fish mallet and struck it toward Jiang Yan's body.

*Clang!*

The sound of metal clashing rang out, leaving Heartless utterly shocked.

"Golden Body Major Achievement?!"

Jiang Yan smiled as he picked up the mallet and tossed it back to Heartless, saying with a laugh: "It's just average. It should be enough to withstand the residual power of a Lightning Tribulation."

"Amitabha." Heartless caught the mallet and pressed his palms together. "With such a Physical Body, there will be no further obstacles to Undergoing Tribulation."

Jiang Yan felt the same way. After all, he was someone who had experienced the strike of a mutated lightning pillar. Although he had thrown away all his life-saving items then, his body had endured the residual power. If it were a normal Lightning Tribulation, he felt he should be able to withstand it.

Jiang Yan lifted the transparent threads in his hand and asked with a smile: "Do you want to take this Nascent Soul Realm Divine Soul and Nascent Soul?"

"Amitabha, thank you, Benefactor Jiang." Heartless smiled as he took out two jade bottles.

Jiang Yan was curious about the Buddhist Spirit Transformation Technique, but he didn't feel the need to learn it. After all, that thing required Karmic Obstruction.

After Heartless packed Tie Cangmu's Divine Soul and Nascent Soul separately, he was quite pleased. With these two items, Dragon Elephant Temple would not only gain another Golden Core Arhat, but he himself could also smoothly enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

Glancing at the thinning Blood Abyss, Jiang Yan stopped condensing his dao seed. His second dao seed already had a prototype; as for what to fill it with, he would decide when he encountered something suitable later.

Collecting Tie Cangmu's Storage Pouch and crushing the jade pendant, the three of them walked out of the Blood Abyss.

Once outside, Jiang Yan finally saw what he had done to the Blood Cloud Sect.

Charred houses and ruined buildings—it was truly a scene of living hell!

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together and said with a sigh, "Benefactor Jiang, your killing karma has deepened once more."

"It's fine. I use blood to find the Righteous Path and killing to suppress thoughts. Though the paths are different, the Great Dao is unhindered," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

As the three of them walked toward the four Peak Masters, Lü Yue and the others appeared before them.

"Who are you?" Lü Yue looked at Jiang Yan with hostility.

Jiang Yan smiled and touched his forehead; in the next moment, he transformed back into the appearance of Su Chen.

"You are Su Chen?" Liao Yuan asked in shock.

"Third Senior Brother, who else could it be?" Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Liao Yuan was a bit confused and didn't know how to address Su Chen anymore, because they had learned from Lü Yue that Su Chen was the one behind everything.

And the monk Heartless beside Su Chen was someone they had also witnessed—a Buddha Son who had fought the Sect Master and the four Peak Masters without being defeated, and who had suppressed the four Peak Masters. A person of such strength was actually Su Chen's friend.

"Master, who exactly are you?" Yin Duo asked the question everyone was curious about.

Jiang Yan reverted to his original appearance and introduced himself again with a smile: "I am Jiang Yan, a Disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I hope you all can return to the Qingyun Sect with me."

Hearing that Su Chen was called Jiang Yan and was a Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Yun Tianze and the others hesitated. Although they were no longer Blood Cloud Sect Disciples, their skills still belonged to the Blood Cloud Sect.

"Master, I am willing to go with you," Yin Duo was the first to speak.

"Me too," Xiao Muying said, looking at Su Qingyan.

"Don't look at me, I'm definitely going with you," Lü Yue said.

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile and then turned his gaze toward Liao Yuan.

"I want to travel the cultivation world and be a carefree Loose Cultivator," Liao Yuan said.

"Alright, then this is back to you." As Jiang Yan spoke, he tossed the 'soul seizing' blade to Liao Yuan. "Third Senior Brother, I hope to hear your great name in the cultivation world in the future."

Liao Yuan cupped his hands in a salute: "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Yun Tianze smiled at Jiang Yan and cupped his hands: "Since Old Third has chosen to be a Loose Cultivator, I can only accompany him in wandering the cultivation world."

Jiang Yan cupped his hands and said: "Then I wish both Senior Brothers an eternal immortal journey."

"Thank you, Junior Brother. We also wish Junior Brother a prosperous Great Dao!" Yun Tianze and Liao Yuan said while cupping their hands.

As everyone watched Yun Tianze and Liao Yuan depart, Yin Duo suddenly spoke: "Oh right, several Vice Peak Masters and Elders are out on missions and haven't returned yet. If they find out, will they come to settle the score with us?"

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together and smiled. "Please be at ease, female Benefactor. This humble monk will stay here for five days to ensure that no one will come looking for you in the future."

Hearing the monk Heartless say this, Yin Duo and the others felt relieved. In their eyes, this Buddha Son was terrifyingly strong.

Just as everyone was feeling at peace, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky above the Blood Cloud Sect.

"What happened in the Sect? Why has it become like this?" Xie Jingang roared loudly.

"Could the Sect have been attacked by another Sect?" Yang Huanzi looked down in confusion.

Before the two of them could see clearly if there were any surviving Disciples below, a Buddhist chant rang out from behind them.

"Amitabha, This humble monk is willing to send both Benefactors to the Western Paradise!"
