Chapter 151 Assassination in the Rainy Night
The latest update is now available on Cola Novels; we await your interpretation.
After the blue-haired female cultivator finished speaking, she lowered her head even further, not daring to look directly into that gaze.
Sitting on that throne of white bones was the powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, Ancestor Xuan Sha.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Xuan Sha remained silent for a long time.
The gaze from the shadows grew even deeper, and after a full ten breaths, the voice rasped:
"A domain that suppresses one's realm... Thousand-Pound Peak... and the Mysterious Bone True Demon Art..."
The voice of the Mysterious Ancestor revealed no emotion:
"Have you memorized the appearance and aura of that Foundation Establishment junior?"
The blue-haired female cultivator quickly replied, "This disciple had already used a secret method to memorize his face at the time."
She raised her hand and waved it lightly, using her spiritual power to draw the appearances of Chen Xu and Qing Ling.
The Ancestor Xuan Sha looked at the two figures and said in a deep voice, "This matter is of utmost importance..."
"Pass down the order that these two individuals be temporarily placed under observation by Xuan Sha Island. No one may move them without my command."
Simply observe their movements discreetly, and if you find any trace of them, immediately notify me.
The blue-haired woman respectfully replied, "Yes! Your disciple obeys!"
She dared not ask any more questions, and after bowing respectfully, she withdrew from the main hall.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
The withered fingers of the Xuan Sha Ancestor tapped the armrest of the bone seat, producing a dull echo.
……
As the year draws to a close in Yunzhou, the chill intensifies, but it does nothing to dampen the popularity of the two spirit-themed restaurants in Wutan City and Qinglan City.
"Glug glug glug..." (I'm so tired... I'm exhausted...)
In the fishpond, Little Jin was floating on its back, belly up, its little eyes full of exhaustion.
This time, it was truly exhausted.
But the astonishing sales figures brought with them immense motivation, making it a bittersweet experience.
Chen Xu stood by the pond, looking at Xiao Jin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"If nothing unexpected happens, after accumulating power for a few more months, Xiao Jin will probably be the first to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment..."
After all, Xiao Jin's breakthrough was a natural progression based on his willpower, with no bottlenecks whatsoever.
In comparison, while Shu Changsheng's [Spirit Devouring Emblem] is also very strong, its effect on breaking through bottlenecks is limited.
I've been stuck in the mid-Foundation Building stage for a while now.
Chen Xu is also searching for pill formulas to help demonic beasts break through their cultivation levels, hoping to help the Rat Longevity reach the late Foundation Establishment stage.
In this way, as long as there are enough resources, Shu Changsheng can mass-produce lower-level rats in the early stage of Core Formation.
……
That day, after the Ling Shan restaurant in Wutan City closed, Xiao Xun'er quickly tidied up the counter, picked up her lunchbox, and hurried away.
Thanks to the "Insight +1" boost granted by the "Loyal Employee" trait.
Her cultivation efficiency also increased significantly.
A year ago, she had already quietly broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
This level of cultivation, on the surface, is only slightly above average among the younger generation of the Xiao family, and is not particularly remarkable.
But only Chen Xu and Xiao Xun'er knew that her combat abilities had been completely transformed through spiritual nourishment and her own arduous training.
His absolute power surpasses that of all the younger generation in Fog Pool City.
At least Zhao Wujiu and Yu Xuanfeng, if they were to truly face Xiao Xun'er, would only be brutally beaten.
However, over the years, she has kept her cultivation level hidden at the late stage of Qi Refining.
In the Xiao family, she remained the unwelcome good-for-nothing.
She had long been accustomed to those disdainful looks and harsh words.
All the forbearance was for the upcoming grand competition among the three families of Fog Pool City.
"Almost there..." She put the lunchbox back into her storage bag and walked quickly toward her secluded little wooden house.
"I must take the top spot," she thought to herself, a hint of anticipation in her voice.
She was prepared to make a name for herself at this conference.
In this way, she could finally establish a firm foothold in the Xiao family.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xun'er ultimately underestimated the sinister and treacherous nature of some people's hearts.
Her very existence made her a thorn in their side.
If they are not removed, they will remain uneasy.
That night, a cold rain pattered against the windows of the wooden house.
Xiao Xun'er had just finished a round of spiritual energy circulation and was preparing to enjoy a spiritual meal to replenish her spiritual power.
Suddenly, her movements froze.
An extremely subtle killing intent mingled with the damp air of the rainy night, silently creeping in.
"Not good!" Her pupils contracted sharply, and almost at the same time, she retreated rapidly.
"boom!!"
With a loud bang, she was in the spot where she had been standing.
The wooden table and lunchbox, along with everything else, were engulfed by a blazing fire.
A violent spiritual pressure instantly swept through the entire small house, tearing the already simple furniture to shreds.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and rain poured down through the holes.
A figure shrouded in a black robe and mask appeared before Xiao Xun'er.
"You bastard, you're quick to hide..." The hoarse voice carried undisguised murderous intent.
Before she could finish speaking, a banner of fire suddenly flared up, instantly blocking all of Xiao Xun'er's escape routes.
Xiao Xun'er roughly judged the power of this attack, which was at most at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
While dodging the attacks, she demanded in a low voice, "An assassin from the Dark Pavilion? Which lowly woman from the Xiao family sent the order?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator's gaze beneath his hood turned fierce, as if a sore spot had been struck, and he began to curse:
"You ignorant bastard, you still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die?!"
Before the black-robed cultivator could finish speaking, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Xun'er, who originally seemed to be only at the late stage of Qi Refining, suddenly had her aura surge to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Her fair hands, fingers clasped together like swords, emitted crimson flames as they aimed straight at the black-robed cultivator's vitals.
"Mid-Foundation Establishment stage?! Impossible!" The black-robed cultivator hurriedly summoned a small shield to block.
But the intense heat quickly melted through the small shield.
And with no sign of abating, it tore a deep, bone-revealing gash in the black-robed cultivator's left shoulder.
"Damn it, how can he be so strong?" The excruciating pain caused the black-robed cultivator to completely lose his will to fight.
He dared not linger any longer, and suddenly activated a blood-red escape talisman, transforming into a streak of blood light as he fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Xun'er frowned and stared intently in the direction where the other person had disappeared.
Having exposed his hidden strength and left no survivors, the reaction from some within the Xiao family will likely be even more intense.
This is a huge problem...
At this moment, the black-robed cultivator, while fleeing, sighed inwardly, "Damn it, how could that bastard have such strength?"
She secretly planned that she must inform the other sisters when she got back.
This woman has become a major threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
However, just as she relaxed slightly and thought she had escaped danger,
An indescribable chill suddenly descended.
Before the black-robed cultivator could even react, his soul was completely annihilated by the yin wind.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xu's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
He retrieved the beast-taming ring from his hand and went to the side of the black-robed cultivator's corpse.
When the mask was removed, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
"Zhao Fengzhi...is actually the second wife of the Xiao family!?"
