Chapter 154: Chapter 152: Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet

“You…”

Master Du Ye’s face was blurred, leaving only a wisp of residual soul, frail and feeble.

Within the wood vine, Ning Daoran closed his eyes to perform the Soul Search.

“Hum—”

He entered the memories of Master Du Ye’s residual soul and saw the spectacle of a Glazed Treasure Tripod floating in the air.

“Fellow Daoists.”

...

In the fuzzy memory, the voice of the Soul-devouring Demon resounded: “This Treasure Tripod is the ultimate treasure of the Inner Hall, but it is protected by a double-layered prohibition. This double-layered prohibition is extremely powerful, it requires careful consideration before we make a decision.”

“Perhaps it’s worth a try.”

Old Monster Jinxia said: “The outer array of this prohibition is nested within another, which happens to be flawed. We can use a Forbidden Breaking Talisman to enter the inner array and jointly break through it, after which we can take the treasure.”

“Fellow Daoist Jinxia speaks the truth!” Lay Practitioner Bai Ming praised, one after another.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, sensing a hidden threat in their words.

Sure enough, the subsequent combined assault of the four Golden Core cultivators on the inner array restriction took roughly ten days to breach. However, just as the prohibition was broken, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

The Soul-devouring Demon unexpectedly turned on them. The sharp hum of the Soul-locking Bell aimed directly at Master Du Ye.

At the same time, Old Monster Jinxia’s Eight Diagrams Green Scroll unfolded and rushed towards him.

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming, being the weakest among them, nonetheless, summoned a Flying Sword, transforming it into a beam of light targeting Master Du Ye’s back.

“You…”

Master Du Ye paled with shock, hurriedly bringing out his Thunderfire Dual Swords to counter the attack. But one man could not fight against many, especially when one of the three attackers was the Gold Core Late Stage Soul-devouring Demon.

Before long, Master Du Ye’s treasures shattered one by one, and more wounds appeared on his Taoist Body.

“…

So that’s how it is…”

Ning Daoran breathed a sigh of relief.

It was within expectations and reason that the Soul-devouring Demon and Old Monster Jinxia would conspire to kill Master Du Ye. At the onset of the battle between Righteous and Demon Path, Old Monster Jinxia had already been a spy for the Righteous but in fact had long been embraced by the Demon Path.

And the Soul-devouring Demon was the leader of the Qingzhou Demon Path; the two must have been in collusion for some time.

Afterward, Jiuyun Sect forcefully entered the fray in Qingzhou, annihilated the Soul Devouring Sect, and turned the Sea Burning Sect into one of their sub-sects.

Thus, the two devils, the Soul-devouring Demon and Old Monster Jinxia, already had a profound grudge against Jiuyun Sect.

Though Master Du Ye was powerful, it was a pity that he overlooked this relationship.

Moreover, Master Du Ye really shouldn’t have traded various magical treasures and opportunities for that Pure Demon Pill.

Such a treasure as the Pure Demon Pill was too enticing, and Master Du Ye’s possession of it was also one of the main reasons he was killed!

However, Ning Daoran also did not anticipate that the Supreme Elder of Xiyu Pavilion, Lay Practitioner Bai Ming, would also turn against him and, as a Righteous Cultivator, participate in the assassination of Master Du Ye.

In the Soul Search vision, Master Du Ye was covered with injuries.

“How despicable of you all! How could I just sit and wait for death?”

Master Du Ye, drenched in blood, actually maneuvered his Thunderfire Dual Swords and, wrapping himself up, viciously slammed into the outer array’s prohibition!

“Boom—”

Triggering the outer array caused continuous deafening explosions, and numerous Array Formation Restrictions erupted in succession.

Embraced in golden light, Master Du Ye’s body was like tearing through a block of tofu as he rushed towards the core of the prohibition, just moments away from detonating the core and blowing everyone to smithereens!

“Stop him quickly!”

The Soul-devouring Demon roared: “Old Monster Jinxia, why aren’t you using your Eight Diagrams Green Scroll?!”

“…”

Old Monster Jinxia’s face turned pale, and in his desperate will to live, he raised his hand and summoned the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll, with wisps of green light spreading and sweeping up both Master Du Ye’s body and the Thunderfire Dual Swords within it.

However, it was already too late. A portion of the outer prohibition continuously blasted, not only pulverizing Master Du Ye’s body but even destroying both treasured items, the Thunderfire Dual Swords and the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll!

“It’s over…”

Old Monster Jinxia’s face went pale.

The Soul-devouring Demon’s body wrapped in Demonic Qi, vomited out a Secret Treasure to cover his tongue. With a fierce extension, the tongue stretched several feet long and directly swept away the Glazed Treasure Tripod!

Subsequently, with a shake of the Soul-locking Bell, he also seized Master Du Ye’s spirit soul.

In the void, resounded the unwilling and furious roar of Master Du Ye, which quieted down immediately after entering the Soul-locking Bell.

“Roar—”

Simultaneously, an angry roar descended. At the original location of the Glazed Treasure Tripod, the removal of the treasure seemed to trigger some prohibition.

Amidst the violent shockwave, a grey figure fell.

It was a Demon wolf, with blood-red eyes, and its body exuding the aura of a Fourth-tier Early Stage Demon Beast.

“This is bad!”

The Soul-devouring Demon exclaimed in shock, never anticipating it to be a Nascent Soul Demon Beast.

Following this, the vision began to blur and fade, until nothing could be seen.

At that time, only a slight residual soul remained of Master Du Ye, who couldn’t recall any more of the events that followed.

Ning Daoran’s expression was grave.

He had not expected that so much had happened in the Inner Hall while he was hiding in the Outer Hall.

The four Golden Core cultivators had worked together to obtain the treasure, but in the end, the only victor was the Soul-devouring Demon.

He not only took the Glazed Treasure Tripod but also sealed the powerful spirit of Master Du Ye inside the Soul-locking Bell. As a result, the power of the Soul-locking Bell would surely be greatly enhanced.

Old Monster Jinxia met a very grim fate: not only did he miss out on the Glazed Treasure Tripod, but in the heat of desperation, his Eight Diagrams Green Scroll was destroyed as well!

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow.

“The Nascent Soul Stage Fourth-tier Demon Wolf was terrifyingly powerful, so much so that even the Soul-devouring Demon probably couldn’t handle it.

In the last remnants of memory from Master Du Ye, he saw the Soul-devouring Demon transformed into a streak of light and escaped desperately, while Old Monster Jinxia and Lay Practitioner Bai Ming also couldn’t care less and fled towards two different directions.

This scene happened five days ago. Is that Demon Wolf still in the Secret Realm now?

Thinking of this, Ning Daoran couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine.

“Out!”

He threw out more than a dozen Second-class Paperfolk and ordered them to disperse and search for any remaining opportunities.

As for himself, he activated the Concealing Breath Technique, the Sound Absorption Technique, and the Invisibility Technique to their peak and Wood Escaped into a section of wood vine, staying completely still and silent.

Not long after, his mind moved.

A faraway Second-class Paperfolk had found something.

Ning Daoran used Earth Escape and in a moment, he saw an extremely disfigured corpse lying on a stone stairway covered in moss. Its internal organs had been scooped out, and its face was gnawed to a terrifying extent, with the body dried up.

Yet Ning Daoran could still vaguely recognize that it was Old Monster Jinxia!

Who would have thought that Old Monster Jinxia would actually die here!

‘What a pity…’

Ning Daoran inwardly expressed regret, unsure whether to pity the demise of a Golden Core Middle Stage like Old Monster Jinxia so soon.

Or to pity that he had not died by his own hand.

He cast out another Second-class Paperfolk.

The paperfolk inflated in the wind and transformed into the look of a young girl, wearing a green dress and with her hair in a bun, full of youthful beauty.

The girl walked forward and gently took several Storage Bags from Old Monster Jinxia’s waist.

“Whoosh!”

The next second, the girl dived underground, directly using Earth Escape.

In another direction, a paperfolk took over the Storage Bags, and after several transfers, the Storage Bags finally reached Ning Daoran who Wood Escaped into a distant vine.

His Divine Sense swept through, finding not many treasures in the Storage Bags, but there were many Spirit Stones.

Among them were the two thousand Spirit Stones that were extorted from him.

It seems that the Nascent Soul Stage Demon Wolf only wanted to kill and devour the essence of flesh and blood and didn’t care for these Spirit Stones at all.

In one of the Storage Bags, Ning Daoran found an incredibly tempting treasure.

It was a bracelet that was translucent and lustrous like jade, containing immense Mana and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

The Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, a Third-tier Top-Grade Magical Treasure!

Ning Daoran was astonished. He had seen this treasure in the Cangnan Secret Realm before; it was Old Monster Tian Hai’s treasured possession.

However, he had never imagined it would end up in Old Monster Jinxia’s hands.

It made sense, though. One of Old Monster Jinxia’s bargaining chips to betray the Sea Burning Sect might have been this Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet.

The Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet contained Old Monster Jinxia’s Divine Soul Mark, and he had already refined it.

The reason why it hadn’t been used before could be because Old Monster Jinxia considered this treasured bracelet as his trump card, not expecting that a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast would suddenly appear, leaving him dead before he even had a chance to use the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet.

With the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet, Ning Daoran’s trip was already worthwhile!

He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and placed the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet into his Storage Ring.

Just at that moment, his Divine Soul fluttered again, and another Second-class Paperfolk had discovered something.

…

Ning Daoran continued using Earth Escape and Wood Escape, following a convoluted path, and finally arrived at a hidden location in the Inner Hall—it was a Demon King Cave Mansion!

This Cave Mansion was located at the end of the Inner Hall, and everywhere was filled with a rich demonic aura.

It must be the residence of the Nascent Soul Demon King, but at this time… the Nascent Soul Demon Wolf should still be chasing after the Soul-devouring Demon, hence it wasn’t in the Cave Mansion.

‘Could someone be taking the opportunity to steal some benefits?’

Ning Daoran’s mind grew tense, and he quickly discovered with his Divine Sense that there indeed was a human presence inside the Demon King Cave Mansion, and it was even a Golden Core aura!

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming!

A name surfaced in Ning Daoran’s heart.

At this time, the only person possibly entering the Nascent Soul Demon Wolf’s Cave Mansion to seek treasures would be Lay Practitioner Bai Ming.

However, the aura of Lay Practitioner Bai Ming seemed somewhat weak.

Ning Daoran cast out a Class A Paperfolk, which crackled in the wind and transformed into the appearance of Independent Practitioner Jianjia.

Inside the Cave Mansion, the Array Formation Restrictions were complex.

Ning Daoran dared not be careless and carefully explored deeper.

The Cave Mansion was simply furnished, with only a giant stone platform as the resting nest for the Nascent Soul Demon King.

Next to it, a stone wall had been hollowed out into a niche, on which two treasures were placed.

Ning Daoran swept over them with his Divine Sense, and his heart was shocked.

One of them was a small blood-red pagoda, pulsating with the powerful aura of a Third-tier Top-Grade Magical Treasure. And it was a treasure related to souls. With Ning Daoran’s powerful Divine Sense, he could even sense some Residual Soul auras inside.

Without a doubt, it was a Soul Refining Pagoda.

The other treasure was quite familiar—it was a Void Divine Stone, and a large one at that, weighing at least a few pounds.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia…”

Just then, a very weak voice came from a corner.

Ning Daoran looked over, his expression indifferent.

Sure enough, it was Lay Practitioner Bai Ming. At this moment, he was imprisoned in a corner of the Cave Mansion by a large bunch of thorny brambles that appeared to be alive, seemingly desperately sucking away Bai Ming’s Golden Core essence blood.

What a pitiful Lay Practitioner Bai Ming, tormented like this; in a few more days, he would inevitably be sucked dry.

And those brambles were extending all the way from the base, which was rooted in a blood-colored Jade Bottle. Goodness, the Nascent Soul Stage Wolf King was actually storing the essence blood of Human Clan Golden Cores!

“Fellow Daoist…”

Bai Ming revealed a wry smile, “Save… save me…”
