99: Xiaobai's Dinner

In less than half an hour, hundreds of black figures flew in from all directions at low altitude, bringing with them bursts of air-piercing sounds.

"This subordinate greets the Holy Emissary!" A dense mass of people all knelt on one knee, their Aura as majestic as a rainbow.

Xiao Chen was secretly alarmed; the management of the Outer Sect was far too lax if they didn't even know so many demonic cultivators were hiding there.

"Very good!"

Xiao Chen imitated Illusory Destruction's voice while sweeping his gaze over the crowd. Aside from one person at the first level of the Golden Core Stage, the rest were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Holy Emissary, haven't you... already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage?" A demonic cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage near the front couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up! What do you know?! When Lord Black Dragon acts, he has his reasons. Is this something you should be asking?"

"This subordinate deserves death!"

Xiao Chen glanced at him, slowly walked up to the Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator, and nodded slightly.

Then, taking advantage of his lack of preparation, he suddenly struck, instantly grabbing his throat and sealing his cultivation with lightning speed.

"Holy Emissary... you... this is..." The Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator's eyes widened, and he stared at him in terror.

The other hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage demonic cultivators were also shocked, not understanding why the Holy Emissary had suddenly attacked.

This Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator was a confidant of Illusory Destruction during his lifetime; the two were almost as close as brothers.

"Xiao Bai, these are your dinner."

A sinister curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth, and he spoke indifferently, his voice like that of a judgment, announcing the end for these demonic cultivators.

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant python a hundred zhang long appeared before everyone. The giant python opened its mouth wide, and an extremely strong suction force covered the hundreds of demonic cultivators who were still in a daze.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

In an instant, the terrified screams of the demonic cultivators were endless. Within a single breath, patches of black figures were swallowed into the giant python's belly.

Struggling desperately was to no avail, and the screams soon dissipated into nothingness.

Xiao Chen had experienced this personally. After being sucked in, the potent poison inside the giant python would instantly cause them to fall into a coma.

Gradually, their flesh and blood would be corroded, and the spiritual power in their bodies would be converted for its own use.

The Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator in Xiao Chen's hand was now completely terrified, his legs weak. He could feel that the Aura emitted by this white python was incredibly powerful.

It had long surpassed the scope of Golden Core Stage Perfection. He didn't understand why the Black Dragon Holy Envoy, to whom he had sworn deathly loyalty, was treating them like this.

"Holy Emissary, spare my life... I am... loyal to you..."

Xiao Chen did not show the slightest mercy. His Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense instantly invaded the man's Sea of Consciousness, performing a direct Soul Search.

From his memory, Xiao Chen basically understood the general layout of the Soul Refining Sect.

The Soul Refining Sect, as one of the Five Great Demonic Sects of the Cangxuan Continent, had the Soul Refining Art as its unique Cultivation Technique, mainly focusing on Soul attacks.

Its Magical Artifact was the soul refining banner, which continuously enhanced its power by refining the Souls of Cultivators.

Within the Sect, including the Sect Master and Grand Elders, there were a total of twelve Nascent Soul level experts.

This matched the twelve Nascent Soul level transmission imprints Xiao Chen had seen in Illusory Destruction's black Jade Slip.

Among the four great holy emissaries, Holy Envoy Nian Hua was the Saintess appointed by the Sect Master; the other three holy emissaries, Jin Gang, Black Dragon, and Mu Feng, had been competing for the position of Saint.

A moment later, Xiao Chen sacrificed the soul refining banner and recited the incantation: "Devouring thoughts as fuel, illuminating the true self!"

In an instant, the soul refining banner opened a gap, and a devouring force was released from it, forcibly sucking out the Soul of this Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator.

He immediately became a walking corpse with no resistance. Xiao Chen threw him to Xiao Bai, "Swallow him."

The giant python opened its mouth and sucked him in as well. Then, the huge snake head rubbed against Xiao Chen's body affectionately.

It was clear she was very happy. Her first appearance following Xiao Chen had gained her such a great opportunity.

Having swallowed so many demonic cultivators, her cultivation would surely take another step forward.

After a while, the giant python opened its mouth again, and with a "whoosh," a series of qiankun rings flew out of its mouth and scattered on the ground.

Xiao Chen's eyes widened at this scene. This was too amazing! It could even filter out the things he needed!

Heavens!

She was too well-behaved!

With a wave of his hand, he took all the hundreds of qiankun rings on the ground into his possession, to be counted when he had time.

Bai Su's figure flashed as she returned to the System Space. Swallowing so many demonic cultivators at once should be enough for her to refine for a while.

After doing all this, Xiao Chen's figure flickered, and he changed back to his original appearance. He had finally removed this hidden danger, and the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Before dawn, Xiao Chen shuttled rapidly through the dense forest and quietly slipped into the camp of Outer Sect District One.

Having returned safely, he had to report his safety to the two young girls, Qin Xianger and Ye Qinghe, to keep them from worrying.

These two girls usually had a good relationship, so for this Secret Realm trial, they lived in the same tent.

Xiao Chen released his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense, swept over more than five thousand tents, and instantly locked onto their Aura.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Chen slipped directly into their tent and set up a soul barrier.

Looking at the figure that slipped in, they were startled at first, but after seeing the person's face clearly, their joy was beyond words.

Ye Qinghe still looked pure and beautiful, while Qin Xianger wore a purple short skirt, looking even more sexy and charming.

"Brother, you're back?"

"Brother, it's really you!"

Two soft cries made Xiao Chen's heart flutter. He hurriedly stepped forward and put his arms around their slender waists.

"Did you miss me?"

"Mhm." Both women nodded with tears in their eyes. At the thought of Xiao Chen confronting a Golden Core Stage demonic cultivator alone for them, they were deeply moved.

"Alright, alright! If you keep crying, you won't be beautiful anymore." Xiao Chen hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

"Brother, I shouldn't have doubted you." Ye Qinghe could only lower her head, her small face full of guilt.

"Brother, I was wrong." Qin Xianger also lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

Previously, they had been lectured and intimidated by Song Shuting, making them think Xiao Chen was a big fraud.

Xiao Chen took the two into his arms and gently patted their jade-like backs, "It's okay, I don't care about that. You two are my little darlings."

Qin Xianger and Ye Qinghe's faces turned red instantly, and they could only bury their small heads in his chest, not daring to look up at him.

"Gee... Master, your words are so sappy." Bai Su's soft Soul Sound rang in his ear.

Cough cough... this was awkward. He hadn't expected there to be a third wheel here.

"Then I'll say them to you next time? Would you like that?" Xiao Chen also responded with his Soul Sound.

"Mhm."

Hahaha!

Xiao Chen almost laughed out loud. When he said it to others, she found it sappy; when he said it to her, she liked it very much.

"Master, do you want me and the two sisters to serve you together?"
