Chapter 1595 - 1592: Settling New and Old Scores Together
Feeling that familiar spiritual energy fluctuation from the other person, Yang Fei’s heart sank suddenly.
This aura was exactly the same as the cultivation technique aura of the Mu Family, could this person be a strong figure from the Mu Family?
The visitor was precisely Mu Qingchuan.
On that day at the Han Family in Central State, he couldn’t find any clues, but was guided by Han Tianjiao’s people. He set a trap to lure Qingyang out and then soul-searched him, revealing the truth about the entire destruction of the Mu Family cultivators’ team. Enraged, he killed Qingyang and then started pursuing Yang Fei.
Initially, he had no idea where Yang Fei was headed. He was just searching near the south of Central State, hoping to try his luck.
Some time ago, while passing through a workshop, he overheard two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in secret conversation, discussing some major secret discovered in the southern part of the Southern Domain.
Curious, Mu Qingchuan wondered if Yang Fei had come to know about some secret in the southern part of the Southern Domain as well.
Moreover, based on the information obtained from the soul-search of Qingyang, it was known Yang Fei was seeking his two confidantes. If he could find those two women, dealing with Yang Fei would become easier.
Today, as he approached Huoyue City, he intended to enter the city but unexpectedly encountered a chase involving three Core Formation Stage Cultivators. He had merely been observing, not intending to involve himself in others’ affairs, until he suddenly heard Jiang Xinyun mention the Wangxian Sect and even named the Divinity Transformation Realm Master, Jiang Daozu.
What excited him the most was the other party mentioning a name in the end, Yang Fei!
He was overjoyed; it was truly a case of searching high and low, only to find it effortlessly here, unexpectedly encountering the target he had been searching for months.
It truly felt like divine assistance!
Seeing Yang Fei about to kill Jiang Xinyun, Mu Qingchuan initially planned to see what kind of magic treasure Yang Fei would use to eliminate an enemy slightly inferior to himself. However, upon second thought, since this woman hailed from the Wangxian Sect and was an enemy of Yang Fei, helping her and then killing Yang Fei could pin his death on the Wangxian Sect.
Though he was determined to kill Yang Fei to avenge the Mu Family and wanted to seize several powerful treasures from Yang Fei, ultimately, Yang Fei was a closed-door disciple of Shang Qing Sect’s Wan Daorong and had connections with Shen Wanjing, the Shen Family head of Shifang City, and had received care from Yan Xihua of West Phoenix Valley.
This person had quite a background.
Previously, after passing through West Phoenix Valley where Yan Xihua mediated, he recovered the Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass and agreed to let the case of Yang Fei’s killing of Mu Family members slide.
Afterwards, reporting honestly to the Divinity Transformation Realm elders of the sect, they also agreed with his decision, acknowledging that while the Mu Family was strong, it could not compare to the Shang Qing Sect, thus the deaths of those Mu Family members could only be blamed on Han Dachun, leading to the later event of Mu Renqing taking the Mu Family’s team to Zhongzhou Han Family for revenge, only to encounter Yang Fei again, who annihilated them all over again.
This youngster was practically a disaster for the Mu Family.
With old and new grievances combined, Mu Qingchuan was determined to kill Yang Fei while outside the Shang Qing Sect’s territory.
Yet, Yang Fei’s background was formidable, and even as a middle-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse, he was immensely cautious, fearing endless troubles if he killed him.
Now, knowing Jiang Xinyun was a Second Generation Immortal of the Wangxian Sect, he naturally had plans in mind, feeling it was providential assistance.
"You little thief, back at West Phoenix Valley, due to Yan Xihua and the fact you were Master Wan’s closed-door disciple, the Mu Family took a big step back and spared your life. But to think you’d now slaughter many of my Mu Family’s elite disciples, had I known it would be so, I shouldn’t have spared your life back then, saving many of my Mu Family’s fine sons from being slain by you,"
Mu Qingchuan locked an icy gaze on Yang Fei, speaking angrily.
Jiang Xinyun was overjoyed inside, indeed, this person was antagonistic towards Yang Fei.
Yang Fei, seeing the other party’s strength, was intent on protecting Jiang Xinyun, and with his heart stirring, he flashed away with instant teleportation.
"Little thief, do you think you can escape?"
Mu Qingchuan shouted angrily, swiftly teleporting in pursuit.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of explosions and air-rending resonated continuously in the void.
Two figures rapidly flickered and leapt through this world, one chasing, the other fleeing.
Yang Fei was terrified.
He could sense the opponent’s powerful Divine Sense, which could keenly lock onto his approximate teleportation position every time.
This was even more terrifying than when he had previously battled True Monarch Cang Yuan.
Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses could already perceive all subtle qi mechanisms within the short-range teleportation distance. Wherever he teleported, unless he exited the opponent’s teleportation range, he could be immediately captured, akin to a radar’s precise lock.
Compared to his previous battle with True Monarch Cang Yuan, Yang Fei’s overall strength had now significantly increased.
Originally, he thought that even encountering middle-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses, he wouldn’t be without power to contend, but now it seemed that just relying on his cultivation realm, even with teleportation techniques, would only allow him to hold on a bit longer against the opponent, with nearly no chance to kill the opponent.
However, with the Soul Binding Rope, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, and the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl at hand, it’s not entirely impossible.
Light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes. When Mu Qingchuan appeared again close in pursuit, he deliberately delayed by half a beat, not immediately teleporting away.
Mu Qingchuan was overjoyed, thinking that the frequent use of such talisman teleportation must have greatly exhausted Yang Fei’s Divine Thought, and he was nearing collapse. Thus, he controlled his sword and attacked.
"Crack!"
With a crisp explosive crack, the crackling whip sound resonated across the void.
Blinding silver light flashed, and Mu Qingchuan felt a sudden jolt in his heart, with his Sea of Consciousness loosening as if some terrifying force were about to pry it open.
What a strong soul-capturing effect!
Mu Qingchuan, after soul-searching Qingyang, knew the effects of several magic treasures on Yang Fei, but now seeing it firsthand, he found its power even more exaggerated than imagined.
He had already been wary of this, but as the Soul Binding Rope came lashing, even before actually striking him, it already wielded such terrifying soul-capturing effects. If wielded by a cultivator of the same stage, wouldn’t it instantly kill him?
Greed flashed in his eyes.
Such a treasure, he must acquire it.
"Crack!"
Yang Fei swiftly lashed out a second whip.
Mu Qingchuan was shocked. He felt the portals of his Sea of Consciousness about to be forcibly opened, and immediately he fortified his mind, rapidly using a Soul Suppressing Talisman.
As he was about to counterattack, he found Yang Fei had vanished.
Mu Qingchuan dared not be careless, his Divine Sense fully unleashed, frantically searching.
Suddenly his expression changed drastically, raging, "How dare you, you little thief!"
As he spoke, his powerful Nascent Soul body detached from the physical body again, swiftly flying out like lightning.
It turned out that after Yang Fei continuously swung the Soul Binding Rope at him twice, he took advantage of the moment to teleport towards Jiang Xinyun, fiercely lashing the Soul Binding Rope towards her.
Jiang Xinyun, upon seeing Mu Qingchuan’s arrival, was just silently relieved. However, she did not expect Yang Fei, being chased, would double back to deal with her, shocked to the core.
Facing Yang Fei’s use of the Soul Binding Rope, even after employing a Soul Suppressing Talisman, fiercely guarding her state of mind, Jiang Xinyun could not resist the Soul Binding Rope striking her body under Yang Fei’s teleport assault.
The tyrannical soul-capturing effect reached its peak state, forcibly extracting Jiang Xinyun’s Divine Sense from her Sea of Consciousness space.
At the same time, Mu Qingchuan’s Nascent Soul flew in wielding a sword, the terrifying force tearing open the muscles of Yang Fei’s back.
In that critical moment, a pitch-black pearl whooshed out, violently colliding into Mu Qingchuan’s Nascent Soul body.
