Chapter 867 - 386: Calamity of Clan Extermination, Rank 4 Gu Insect
It was only because Wang Yannian had to oversee the Wang Clan Territory and dared not leave for too long.
Li Chang’an mused, "Now that Wang Songde has returned, the Wang Family has weathered their lowest point and turned their luck around. As long as they can nurture a young Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Wang Family will return to their peak.
"But who will be their next Nascent Soul? Wang Qianling? Or that Spirit Body?"
The Wang Family’s Spirit Body had always been shrouded in mystery and rarely ventured outside. The outside world only knew that during the family’s youth tournament, the Spirit Body had lost to Wang Qianling, someone with a completely ordinary physique. Many speculated that the Wang Family’s Spirit Body was the most useless of its kind and would likely never receive the resources needed for Nascent Soul Formation.
"The next Nascent Soul of the Wang Family should be Wang Qianling. Let’s see what her future holds." Li Chang’an pinched his fingers together, initiating a Divination.
It was merely a passing whim. He was just doing a casual reading and didn’t expect a particularly clear Divination result. However, a moment later, a torrential sea of blood-red light flooded his vision.
"An omen of death!" Li Chang’an frowned deeply.
Logically, Wang Qianling’s future should have been a smooth journey. Why would her Divination indicate a situation of near-certain death? Li Chang’an calmed his mind, retrieved a Tier Four Turtle Shell, and performed a second Divination. This time, he utilized his full Divination prowess.
"Still an omen of death!"
According to the Divination, Wang Qianling was about to face an unavoidable fatal tribulation. Yet, to accumulate the foundation necessary for Nascent Soul Formation, she had been cultivating within the Wang Clan Territory this entire time, protected by a Tier Four Array and two Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Where could this fatal tribulation possibly come from?
"Could there be an internal problem within the Wang Family?"
At this thought, Li Chang’an immediately performed a Divination on Wang Qianling’s Maid, Wang Xiaoqi. Very quickly, he received a similar Divination. Wang Xiaoqi’s path forward was also marred by a fatal tribulation.
Subsequently, Li Chang’an divined the fates of over a dozen Wang Family descendants in rapid succession. The results were virtually identical.
"Every Wang Family descendant has an omen of death. The Wang Family is about to face a great calamity!"
The outcome of this Divination truly surprised Li Chang’an. He had assumed that with Wang Songde’s return, the Wang Family would grow increasingly prosperous.
Li Chang’an’s gaze deepened as he looked toward the Central Domain. "Could there be a problem with Wang Songde?
"The Wang Family is on the verge of massive chaos. If I go there and use my Nascent Soul strength to fish in troubled waters, could I somehow secure a Celestial Soul Fruit?"
With this in mind, he immediately left Changqing Mountain and rushed toward the Central Domain.
Before he even arrived, a world-shaking explosion reached his ears.
BOOM!
The epicenter of the massive noise was precisely where the Wang Clan Territory was located. Immediately after, Li Chang’an sensed the auras of over a dozen Demonic Nascent Souls. He immediately activated Concealing Form and Breath, reduced his Speed, and stealthily approached the Wang Clan Territory.
Before long, a shocking, massive crater appeared before his eyes. The Wang Clan Territory had been completely obliterated. The mountains, rivers, pavilions, and towers within the territory seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
Over a dozen Demonic Nascent Souls were besieging the Wang Family Ancestor, Wang Yannian, within the giant crater. Around the perimeter of the former territory, panicked Wang Clan Members could be seen everywhere.
"Where is the Wang Family’s Treasure Vault?" Li Chang’an scanned his surroundings but found no trace of it. It seemed likely that the Treasure Vault had been reduced to ash in that explosive blast along with the entire Wang Clan Territory.
"A Treasure as precious as the Celestial Soul Fruit wouldn’t be kept in the family’s Treasure Vault by Wang Yannian. Could it be in his personal Storage Pouch?
"No, the last time he was besieged by Demonic Cultivators, he had to abandon his physical body to escape and couldn’t take his Storage Pouch with him. Yet, he still possessed the Celestial Soul Fruit afterward.
"Does he have a hidden, private Treasure Vault?"
These various thoughts flashed through Li Chang’an’s mind. If he could save Wang Yannian from those Demonic Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he might earn his gratitude and exchange it for a Celestial Soul Fruit. However, Li Chang’an wasn’t confident in his ability to rescue him and was unwilling to risk his own life. After all, he was only a Fake Soul. Among the dozen or so Demonic Cultivators besieging Wang Yannian, there was a Middle Stage of Nascent Soul expert!
Furthermore, several Demonic Nascent Soul Cultivators were prowling the perimeter, hunting down fleeing Wang Family descendants. Even the other Wang Family Ancestor, Wang Songde, was viciously slaughtering his own people.
"No! Ancestor, why are you doing this?"
"Ancestor, have you defected to the Demonic Dao?"
"Ancestor..."
Countless Wang Family descendants cried out in absolute despair.
Hearing their pleas, Wang Songde trembled violently. Tears streaming down his aged face and his visage twisted in agony, he roared, "Run, run! Do not come near this old man!"
He seemed unable to control his own body. Despite his profound grief, he continued to butcher his own juniors, personally blasting the descendants he once cherished into bloody mists. As large numbers of Wang Family descendants died tragically, the very heavens were stained red.
For the Wang Family, this was a true calamity of extermination! The other Righteous Nascent Souls wouldn’t arrive in time; it seemed there was no turning point left.
Right then, an unfamiliar Nascent Soul aura suddenly flared up not far away.
"Huh, the Wang Family has another Nascent Soul?" Li Chang’an, who had been searching for the Treasure Vault, was drawn by this unfamiliar presence. He turned to look.
A Female Cultivator clad in Golden Battle Armor shot into the sky. Her beauty was peerless, her skin as fair as jade, and her entire being radiated brilliant light. Every strand of her hair seemed to glow, making her look like a Nine Heavens Fairy descending to the mortal realm.
BOOM!
A Demonic False Soul was sent flying backward by her strike, crashing heavily into a mountain forest tens of thousands of feet away.
This sudden turn of events exceeded the expectations of not only Li Chang’an but also the numerous Demonic Nascent Souls.
"There’s something bizarre about this person. She shouldn’t be a true Nascent Soul."
"Avoid her! Slaughter all the Wang Clan Members here first!"
Several Demonic Nascent Souls scattered, avoiding direct combat with the woman. With a flash of her figure, the woman actually split into several identical clones. Strikingly, all of them possessed Nascent Soul strength, and they moved to intercept the dispersing Demonic Nascent Souls.
