Chapter 218 : The Situation on the Other Continent
Chapter 218: The Situation on the Other Continent
In an instant, a golden rope suddenly appeared in the void before rapidly winding itself around Li Yong.
The moment Li Yong saw the golden rope and sensed the boundless power of restraint emanating from it,
his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly attempted to form hand seals and activate the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
However, he was already too late.
Under the Immortal Binding Rope, how could a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator like him possibly resist?
Thus, in the blink of an eye, Li Yong was bound tightly from head to toe. Even his soul and Golden Core were completely sealed by the Immortal Binding Rope.
With his power sealed, Li Yong plummeted toward the ground like a falling meteor.
After glancing at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner floating in the sky, Lu Xueqi waved her right hand, instantly drawing it into her grasp.
Her Spiritual Power immediately invaded the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
In an instant, she located the spiritual imprint Li Yong had left within the banner.
Without the slightest hesitation, she unleashed her incomparably terrifying Spiritual Power, which surged forward like a torrent,
instantly shattering Li Yong's spiritual imprint before leaving her own in its place.
In that instant, Li Yong's Ten Thousand Souls Banner became her possession.
Only then did Lu Xueqi lower her gaze toward the black-clothed man below, whose aura had become extremely weak and whose face was deathly pale,
having crashed heavily onto the ground.
Her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared before Li Yong.
Li Yong's face was now as white as paper.
Although falling from the sky had not caused him any serious injuries,
cultivators at the Golden Core Realm like them had bodies tempered by spiritual energy throughout the years, making them extraordinarily resilient.
Furthermore, he had cultivated body-refining techniques.
Therefore, even falling from a great height posed no problem.
However, after Lu Xueqi had forcefully erased the spiritual imprint he had left within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner,
his soul had suffered severe trauma.
Looking at Lu Xueqi, who had instantly appeared before him, Li Yong's face turned pale as terror filled his eyes.
He had never imagined that this woman, whom he had completely disregarded,
would possess such terrifying strength.
Moreover, she even possessed such a bizarre treasure capable of sealing his magical power and soul.
It was simply too terrifying.
Looking at Lu Xueqi, he immediately begged for mercy.
“Fairy... Fairy, please spare my life. I was wrong just now. My mouth was too foul. Please, Fairy, spare my life.”
After hearing his plea, Lu Xueqi coldly asked,
“What is your name? Where are you from? And what is your relationship with the other Blood Demons?”
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi's question, Li Yong immediately replied,
“Fairy, my name is Zeng Niu. I'm a disciple of the Blood Refining Hall. The others... they're my senior brothers.”
Li Yong still attempted to muddle through by using a false name and disguising himself as a disciple of the Blood Refining Hall from this world.
The moment Lu Xueqi heard both his name and his claimed identity, she knew he was lying.
After all, she knew the situation of the Blood Refining Hall in this world extremely well.
Not to mention experts at the Ninth Level of the Supreme Purity Realm—even experts of the Upper Purity Realm did not exist there.
Where could so many powerful cultivators suddenly come from?
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi coldly said,
“So, you have no intention of telling the truth.”
She then raised her right hand.
Li Yong was instantly pulled into her grasp.
Immediately afterward, Lu Xueqi's Divine Sense surged forth.
In an instant, she employed the Soul Search Technique, sending her Spiritual Power directly into Li Yong's mind.
In the blink of an eye, every event of Li Yong's entire life was laid bare before Lu Xueqi.
Meanwhile, Li Yong's face twisted in agony,
as though his very soul were being tortured.
A short while later, Lu Xueqi flicked her hand,
throwing the now completely mindless Li Yong onto the ground.
She murmured,
“Li Yong came from another continent. He is a core disciple of the Nether Spring Sect.
The other so-called Blood Demons are also from the Nether Spring Sect.
The primary reason they came to this continent was because their sect's ancestor was nearing the end of his lifespan, and they wished to find a new refuge for their sect.
That was why they followed a map in search of this lost continent.”
“At the same time, thousands of years ago, the Nether Spring Sect produced a peerless mighty expert—the Nether Spring Blood Demon, who had reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
The Nether Spring Blood Demon once led the Nether Spring Sect across that continent, causing countless sects to be exterminated.
However, he was ultimately defeated and sealed away by True Man Baimei of the Emei Sect.
The current Nether Spring Sect is merely one of the surviving remnants that escaped after the Emei Sect wiped them out. They later established a new sect in the frontier lands.”
As Lu Xueqi examined this information, she also learned about the cultivation system of that continent.
The cultivation realms there were divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Crossing.
The two strongest factions in that world were Tianyong City and the Shushan Sword Sect.
According to legend, both possessed mighty experts overseeing them.
The once-glorious Emei Sect had already fallen into decline.
After several thousand years of development, the Shushan Sword Sect and Tianyong City had become the leaders of the Righteous Path, (For an exhilarating reading experience, visit!)
standing against the Demonic Alliance, which consisted of the Nether Spring Sect and countless other demonic sects.
The two sides fought constant, brutal wars against one another.
After searching through Li Yong's memories, Lu Xueqi also learned that the other four men were likewise disciples of the Nether Spring Sect and were either Li Yong's senior or junior brothers.
After discovering this continent, they had not immediately planned to return to the Nether Spring Sect.
Instead, they intended to complete their Hundred Thousand Souls Banners, break through into the Nascent Soul Realm, and only then return.
If they succeeded, they would be promoted directly from core disciples to sect elders, greatly elevating their status.
Combined with the merit of discovering this continent, they would certainly receive abundant rewards upon returning.
After completely searching through Li Yong's memories, Lu Xueqi raised a finger.
A flash of fire appeared.
In an instant, Li Yong, whose mind had already collapsed, was burned into ashes.
After dealing with Li Yong, Lu Xueqi's figure flashed, and she once again appeared above Heyang City.
With a wave of her hand, she dispersed the formation she had established earlier.
That formation had merely been set up as a precaution.
Now that the Blood Demon had already been eliminated, there was naturally no further need for it.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yicai stood anxiously inside his room, staring outside.
He had already sensed the terrifying fluctuations from the battle moments ago, so he knew Lu Xueqi had been fighting the Blood Demon.
His heart had been filled with worry.
At that moment, a voice suddenly reached him.
“Senior Brother Xiao, everything is alright now.”
Hearing those words, Xiao Yicai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately pushed open the door and walked outside.
Seeing Lu Xueqi, who had already returned to the inn, he happily asked,
“Junior Sister Lu, has the Blood Demon already been dealt with?”
Lu Xueqi nodded.
“The Blood Demon has already been eliminated.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai immediately exclaimed happily,
“That's wonderful. Once Junior Sister Lu takes action, no demonic scoundrel can stir up any trouble.”
He then glanced at the sky before saying,
“Junior Sister Lu, it's already late. Let's rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow to eliminate the remaining Blood Demons.”
Lu Xueqi nodded.
“Alright.”
Meanwhile, at the very moment Li Yong was killed by Lu Xueqi, several black-robed men far away in different directions seemed to sense something.
Their expressions changed slightly.
The next instant, their figures flashed as they rapidly flew toward a certain location, apparently intending to regroup together.
Lu Xueqi, however, knew nothing of this.
