360: Chapter 360 How powerful could a mere ascendant from the lower realm possibly be?

Elsewhere.

In a luxurious brothel somewhere in the Dongxuan Region.

The sounds of strings and flutes were seductive and soft.

Dozens of dancing girls, dressed in thin gauze and with graceful figures, were diligently swaying their waists, creating an incredibly erotic scene.

Not far away, on a luxurious soft couch.

Young Sect Master Ji Bo of the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, was leaning sideways in the arms of a beautiful maid.

He was playing with a pair of large jade balls in his hands, eyes closed, wantonly enjoying the maid's kneading.

On the ground lay more than a dozen dried corpses scattered about.

They had all been female Cultivators with impressive cultivation levels during their lifetimes.

Because their primordial yin had been forcibly drained, they had died in a miserable state, leaving behind only shriveled husks.

"They are all useless trash."

Young Sect Master Ji Bo snorted coldly without even lifting his eyelids.

"Not a single one could last even half an hour; I hadn't even finished enjoying myself before they kicked the bucket."

The Cultivation Technique he practiced was called the Nine-Yang Heaven-Swallowing Art.

This technique was exceptionally domineering, requiring the constant harvesting of primordial yin from female Cultivators to neutralize the pure yang fire within his body.

Otherwise, once the yang poison attacked his heart, he would be burned by raging fire and explode to death.

However, as his cultivation level rose to the Mahayana Stage, the primordial yin of ordinary female Cultivators had completely lost its suppressive effect on him.

Even if he drained a dozen of them a day, the evil fire within his body still burned him to the point of agitation.

That was why he had set his sights on Gu Xiyao, who possessed the Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique.

The Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique was a natural pure yin Origin.

As long as he drained Gu Xiyao dry, he would not only completely resolve the hidden dangers of the Nine-Yang Heaven-Swallowing Art, but it would also directly guarantee his Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

To him, this was a great Opportunity he was determined to secure.

Suddenly, the space behind Young Sect Master Ji Bo twisted.

An old man wearing the attire of a Tianxuan Immortal Sect Elder tore through the air and appeared, looking panicked, and knelt directly on the ground.

"Young Sect Master!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo did not open his eyes, his hands continuing to play with the jade balls.

"What is the meaning of this shouting? Speak, what is the matter?"

His tone was indifferent, even carrying a hint of impatience.

In his view, any matter that could make this Elder lose his composure was nothing more than some short-sighted force outside offending the Tianxuan Immortal Sect again.

A trivial matter.

The old man swallowed hard and spoke very quickly.

"Elder Li Er, who went to the Gu Family to demand an explanation... is dead!"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the sound of the jade balls rubbing against each other stopped abruptly.

"Bang!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo opened his eyes, his gaze filled with scarlet killing intent.

The jade balls in his hand, along with the beautiful maid who was kneading his shoulders behind him, exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Fragments of flesh and blood splattered, but as they were about to stain Young Sect Master Ji Bo's magnificent brocade robe, they were blocked by an invisible protective barrier, emitting a sizzling, evaporating sound.

The dancing girls in the room screamed in terror, all kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"What did you say? Elder Li Er is dead? That is the Tribulation Transcendence Stage! Who did it?!"

The old man trembled all over, bracing himself as he spoke.

"According to the news from our spies, a mysterious young man came to the Gu Family. Not only did he kill Elder Li Er, but he also killed the three Old Ancestors of the Gu Family and Patriarch Gu Changfeng!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo grabbed the old man by the collar and lifted him up entirely.

"A mysterious young man? Those three undying old things from the Gu Family were all killed together?"

The old man was choked until he could barely breathe and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Young Sect Master! I heard that the young man brought a massive army in golden armor and used human sea tactics to pile Elder Li Er and the others to death."

"And Gu Xiyao even publicly announced that she had become that young man's woman!"

After hearing this news, Young Sect Master Ji Bo was furious.

He felt as if a huge, green, oily hat had been placed directly on his head!

"Good! A very good Gu Family! A very good Gu Xiyao!"

"Such great audacity!"

"The Nine-Turn Profound Yin Physique concerns my Great Dao Foundation; I am determined to have it, and absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

Young Sect Master Ji Bo kicked over the jade table in front of him.

"Go! Follow me back to the Sect to find my father!"

"This matter absolutely cannot be let go just like that!"

"That bastard who doesn't know life from death dares to snatch my woman; I am going to ask my father to go to the Gu Family and seize the person personally!"

After speaking, Young Sect Master Ji Bo roared, tore open a spatial rift, and took the old man who brought the news directly into the Void Realm, disappearing from the brothel.

Meanwhile.

At the Tianxuan Immortal Sect, in a spirit pool behind the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace.

Yue Ningshuang was bathing comfortably in the pool.

She leaned against the pool wall, her wet long hair draped casually behind her round, fair shoulders.

The pool water was clear, and the graceful, undulating, and alluring curves under the water were vaguely visible.

"Splash."

The water surface was gently parted by a jade foot that put frost and snow to shame.

The warm spiritual spring water trickled down the tight, smooth lines of her lower leg and dripped into the pool, creating tiny ripples.

She lifted her toes slightly, without any visible effort, and kicked a black tortoise that was trying to approach and absorb the Spiritual Qi out of the pool.

The black tortoise did a dozen somersaults in mid-air.

Finally, it landed on the bluestone by the pool, upside down, and shrank into its shell, never daring to come out again.

Yue Ningshuang ignored it.

She lightly traced her finger across the water surface.

She turned her head and asked the personal maid serving by the pool.

"How is the matter of sealing the city and searching going? Have all these ascenders been caught?"

The maid knelt by the pool, kneading Yue Ningshuang's shoulders with both hands, and reported respectfully.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, except for the ascender who caused trouble at the No. 7 Ascension Pool who has not yet been caught, all other Lower Realm ascenders have been captured."

"They have all been fitted with Spirit-Locking Rings and are currently detained in the water prison awaiting the Sect Master's disposition."

Hearing that there were still people who had slipped through the net, Yue Ningshuang's beautiful willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was clearly somewhat displeased.

With her slight change in mood, a layer of frost instantly condensed on the surface of the pool.

The temperature of the entire spirit pool dropped to freezing point.

"Still haven't caught him?" Yue Ningshuang's voice turned a few degrees colder.

The maid was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hands.

Burying her head deep into the ground, she didn't even dare to breathe.

"Your efficiency is truly getting lower and lower."

"A mere native who just ascended from the Lower Realm, and you still haven't caught him after such a long time."

"If this were to spread, wouldn't it make other forces in the Dongxuan Region laugh at us!"

The maid added, trembling.

"Sect Master, please calm your anger. That madman's methods are extremely cruel."

"He killed Elder Wang and the manager in charge of the No. 7 Ascension Pool, and didn't even leave a complete corpse."

"The surrounding Cultivators are spreading rumors about him, making him sound godlike."

"Our people have sealed dozens of surrounding cities and conducted a carpet search, but we haven't even found his shadow; he is really hard to find..."

Splash!

"Enough. I don't want to hear these excuses from you useless trash who display your incompetence!"

Yue Ningshuang interrupted the maid directly and stood up from the spirit pool.

Her flawless, exquisite, and proud figure was fully exposed in the swirling mist.

The maids nearby saw this and quickly took a luxurious immortal-grade robe, carefully putting it on her.

They were afraid of angering this temperamental Sect Master for not serving her well.

Yue Ningshuang tied her belt.

She looked coldly at the two Mahayana Stage maids kneeling at her feet.

"I will give you three more days."

"If you still can't find that person, you can put on the Spirit-Locking Rings yourselves and mine until you die!"

The maids were terrified, their faces drained of color, and they replied in unison:

"This servant obeys! We will definitely capture that madman within three days!"

Yue Ningshuang waved her sleeves impatiently and turned around.

"Now take me to the water prison."

"I want to see those captured ascenders."

"I want to see exactly what is so special about this batch of ascenders."
