99: Chapter 99: Spreading Heaven's Art, Demonic Soul Banner

"Xu... Husband, neither Junior Sister nor I have ever left the Wangqing Sect, so we don't know how to pass through the Mountain Protection Array."

Su Ruoli sat on Xu Que's left leg, her soft voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Husband, what should we do now?"

The other ladies also looked at Xu Que with worry.

Currently, although the Wangqing Sect's strongest Sect Master and the First Senior Sister were in seclusion,

the remaining six personal disciples of the Sect Master were, after all, in the Nascent Soul Realm, and that Ye Wumian was even at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Although I possess the Sacred Body vision and the divine artifact xuanyuan sword, I don't know if I can hold them off!

Xu Que frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "In a few days, I'll go out to check the situation."

After speaking,

he looked at the two in his arms again and asked, "What cultivation technique do you usually practice?"

"Husband, all disciples of our Wangqing Sect practice the Supreme Record of Forgetting Emotions, but we only have the mantras for the first three levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Jiedan Realm."

Supreme Record of Forgetting Emotions?

The name didn't sound very good!

Based on his years of experience reading novels, the deeper one practices a technique with this kind of name, the more one's emotions would fade, until one eventually becomes a ruthless and heartless person!

"Don't practice this technique anymore, you two. Just rest here in peace and await the birth of the child. Once the child is born, I will help you improve your cultivation realm."

"This... alright then!"

Xu Que nodded, scanned the ladies around him, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't properly spent time with you all for quite a while.

Let's go, we're going swimming now. Later, I'll give you all a massage; I guarantee you'll feel comfortable."

After speaking, he gently set Su Ruoli down, picked up the silver-haired loli Wu Xiaotang, and walked towards the swimming pool.

...

Wangqing Sect.

Alchemy Pavilion, Alchemy Room.

Hua Wulei, dressed in purple robes, slowly stood up from the meditation cushion. Three white pills emitting a strange fragrance flew out from the three-zhang-tall golden alchemy furnace and landed in her jade-white palm.

"Not bad, not bad. Top-grade quality. With these three pills, I believe it won't be long before there are three more Nascent Soul Stage junior sisters in the sect."

Hua Wulei nodded in satisfaction.

With a flick of her palm, the three Nascent Soul Pills vanished.

"I wonder if Senior Sister and Master have come out of seclusion yet!"

Murmuring softly, she removed the silver mask covering her face.

The next second,

a peerless face of breathtaking beauty was revealed without reservation.

Her skin was as delicate as suet jade, and her willow-leaf-like eyebrows were slightly upturned, revealing a touch of liveliness and playfulness.

As her eyes shifted, it seemed as if ten thousand stars were hidden within them, causing anyone who looked at them to instantly fall into them.

"Creak~"

The heavy stone door of the alchemy room opened with a boom.

Hua Wulei moved with lotus steps and walked out of the alchemy room.

"Third Senior Sister, you have finally come out of seclusion."

A beautiful-looking female disciple guarding outside the alchemy room was overjoyed to see Hua Wulei walk out.

"Xiao Chan, has something happened?"

"Third Senior Sister, Junior Sister Xiao Tang and Senior Sister Ruoli have been captured by a bad guy. Second Senior Sister asked you to go find her immediately after you come out of seclusion," Xiao Chan said hurriedly.

"What? Xiao Tang and Ruoli were captured by a bad guy?"

Hua Wulei's expression changed, and she looked at Xiao Chan in disbelief.

Those two girls hadn't even broken through to the Jiedan Realm yet; it was impossible for them to have left the sect.

That meant someone had broken through the sect's Mountain Protection Array and captured those two girls within the sect.

Who was it?

To openly provoke the Wangqing Sect?

"Whoosh~"

Hua Wulei's figure instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

...

Wangchen Hall.

The six major personal disciples—Ye Wumian, Hua Wulei, Feng Wuhen, Yun Wuyi, Yue Wugou, and Xing Wuchen—sat facing each other on both sides.

"Second Senior Sister, what exactly happened? Who would dare to break into our Wangqing Sect and capture Xiao Tang and Ruoli?" Hua Wulei asked with an anxious expression.

Immediately,

Ye Wumian told Hua Wulei what had happened by the pool at the back of the mountain some days ago.

After listening to Ye Wumian's account, Hua Wulei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in a cold voice, "Then I shall perform the Yantian Technique to divine and see who dared to openly provoke our Wangqing Sect!"

After speaking, Hua Wulei formed seals with her jade hands, and the spiritual energy around her surged like a tide.

She closed her eyes tightly, and fine beads of sweat gradually formed on her forehead.

As the Yantian Technique was executed, a blurred face gradually became clearer in her mind.

However, the moment she clearly saw the man's face, a powerful and strange force violently struck her sea of consciousness.

Hua Wulei groaned, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning; she flew backward uncontrollably, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, she had suffered a backlash from the divination.

"Third Junior Sister..."

"Third Senior Sister..."

Ye Wumian, Feng Wuhen, Yun Wuyi, Yue Wugou, and Xing Wuchen exclaimed and instantly appeared beside Hua Wulei.

"I... I'm fine, don't worry!"

Hua Wulei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up, and waved her arm gently.

An image instantly appeared in the hall.

It was the face of a handsome young man.

It was none other than Xu Que!

"This person is definitely no ordinary character. Just as I vaguely glimpsed his face during the divination, I suffered a terrifying backlash.

That power was extremely strange, as if it possessed its own consciousness.

It was as if it was intentionally warning me, only roughly interrupting my divination without killing me off.

Otherwise, with its power, even if I didn't die, I would definitely be severely injured."

Hua Wulei explained with lingering fear.

Hearing Hua Wulei's words, the expressions of Ye Wumian and the others couldn't help but change.

"Could this person be a Lianxu Realm expert?" the sixth junior sister, Yue Wugou, exclaimed.

"Impossible. How could a Lianxu Realm expert come to our Yunhuang Continent, let alone come to our Wangqing Sect to capture two small disciples."

The fourth senior sister, Yun Wuyi, frowned and shook her head repeatedly, her expression full of certainty.

The Second Senior Sister, Ye Wumian, nodded, "That's right, this person definitely cannot be a Lianxu Realm expert. I imagine he possesses some kind of secret treasure, or there is an expert behind him."

"Senior Sister, Junior Sister Xiao Tang and Junior Sister Ruoli's lives are currently uncertain. Are we just going to leave it at that?"

The seventh junior sister, Xing Wuchen, frowned, looking at the Second Senior Sister, Ye Wumian, with a look of worry.

Ye Wumian pondered for a moment, looked up at her five junior sisters, and said, "First, order the disciples outside to inquire about this person's information. Everything else will be decided after Master comes out of seclusion."

"Yes, Second Senior Sister."

Ye Wumian nodded slightly, "Everyone, cultivate with peace of mind and wait for Master to come out of seclusion."

After speaking,

Ye Wumian's figure instantly vanished.

...

Back Mountain, Cold Pool.

Ye Wumian looked at the pool, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Immediately afterward, her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed into the Cold Pool.

In the blink of an eye, she was standing at the bottom of the Cold Pool, where Xu Que had once stayed.

The water of the Cold Pool was isolated by an invisible barrier, preventing her from getting wet.

"There is no abnormality. Could it be that he used some kind of void escape talisman?"

Ye Wumian used her divine sense to probe the entire bottom of the pool but did not find any abnormalities, causing her eyebrows to furrow even tighter.

...

Another three days passed in a flash.

Spirit Spring Space.

Just as Xu Que was planning to go to the outside world to check on the situation, the System's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Task Issued: Please host to escape from the Wangqing Sect within three days. Task Completion Reward: One demon soul banner, one Xuannu Sutra.]

[Note: The more souls collected, the more powerful the demon soul banner.]
