Yu Qingtan laughed because Haokong Venerable had hidden inside the Space Reflection Sphere, signaling that the enemy had run out of tricks.
Although the sphere was a middle-grade Dao Artifact, it seed to have no ability to attack independently, but after all, it was comparable to a Fifth Stage existence, and Yu Qingtan truly could not break through it.
However, she had a thod. She directly cast the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique towards the Space Reflection Sphere, and then, as expected, it was reflected back at her, causing her Sea of Consciousness to tremble and her head to ache terribly.
"Haha, Fairy Qingtan, this is a genuine middle-grade Dao Artifact, capable of reflecting not only spiritual power and physical attacks but also soul attacks. I advise you not to waste your energy. You might as well let us leave early; otherwise, if my sect's God Transformation Honorables find this place, you'll be dead for sure,"
Haokong Venerable laughed heartily.
Yu Qingtan paid her no mind, and once her headache eased a bit, she took out the Roaming Zither and perford the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique once again, this ti imbued with the Origin of Soul Dao and the Third Level Sound Path, far more powerful than the previous attempt.
Then, the Soul Cleansing and Shaking Technique was still reflected back.
"Ah~" Yu Qingtan couldn't help but cry out in pain, then, unsurprisingly, a mysterious fluctuation emanated from the depths of Yu Qingtan's Sea of Consciousness, instantly clearing her mind as the mysterious fluctuation spread outward.
"Crack~" A perfect spherical mirror surface showed a crack, and Haokong Venerable, Calamity Crossing Venerable, and Xiao Yan were shocked beyond belief. Then their vision darkened, and their souls were extinguished.
This was naturally the intervention of System Space. Suffice it to say, Yu Qingtan's Sea of Consciousness was System Space's domain, which allowed no threatening external force to challenge it. The Soul Attack reflected back by the Space Reflection Sphere also counted as an external force. Yu Qingtan had also tried to directly attack her own Sea of Consciousness to stimulate System Space's intervention, but the Shadow Clone was imdiately annihilated.
At that mont, three crimson lights shot forth from the bodies of Haokong Venerable and the other two, entering into Yu Qingtan's body, with Haokong Venerable's being the thickest. This was a Blood Tether, and a very powerful one at that.
Yu Qingtan imdiately cast the Great Purification Technique, Xiao Yan's Blood Tether was instantly purified, and the Calamity Crossing Venerable's was slowly disappearing, but Haokong Venerable's was fading very slowly, taking at least a month to cleanse completely.
"What a hassle!" Yu Qingtan exclaid, then she collected the spoils of war, cleaned up the battlefield, and then directly annihilated this body.
Ever since advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, the System Space had also upgraded with the System Marketplace update, allowing space equipnt and Dao Artifacts to be stored. Its volu also increased significantly, making it almost a small pocket universe, except that living creatures still couldn't remain conscious within it.
This actually made things much easier for Yu Qingtan; previously when she used a Shadow Clone as a spatial divine skill, she had to place storage equipnt sowhere and then personally retrieve it, which was sowhat troubleso.
Murong Haokong, as the Young Sect Master of the Extre Path Demon Sect, died at the hands of Yu Qingtan, and a God Transformation Honorable would surely be sent to find her. She initially did not intend to kill Murong Haokong, as under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be able to, considering he must have had many life-saving items.
However, she did not regret her actions. There was no need to ntion the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel. Murong Haokong had troubled her many tis, so given the opportunity to kill him, she did.
The Blood Tether was bound to the soul, so it was possible for both of Yu Qingtan's Shadow Clones to be tracked, thus one of Yu Qingtan's Shadow Clones went to Shenfeng Island, and the other near the Blood Sword Sect's mountain gate.
Both places were very far from the Extre Path Demon Sect, so even a Divine Transformation Cultivator would have difficulty sensing the Blood Tether. Even if detected, she could instantly move to another location.
Having dealt with the potential worries, Yu Qingtan, now in a temporary subterranean dwelling near the Blood Sword Sect's mountain gate, began to sort through the spoils of the battle. This spot was her previous temporary base when planning against the Sea Clan at the Blood Sword Sect's gate, located deep underground and shielded by a hiding formation.
Firstly, Yu Qingtan released Shen Wanning, as such joy of harvest naturally needed to be shared, and moreover, the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel was also an enemy of Wanning's.
"Qingtan, are you all right?" Shen Wanning opened her eyes from a groggy state and imdiately looked at Yu Qingtan with concern. Although she had confidence in Yu Qingtan, she was still worried, which moved Yu Qingtan sowhat.
"Wanning, I'm fine. I'm just very sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for letting that Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel die too easily!" Yu Qingtan said, taking out the body of the Calamity Crossing Venerable with eyes still wide open in death.
"Ah! This is..." Shen Wanning saw the body of the Calamity Crossing Venerable, and a hint of hatred and anger flashed in her eyes.
"Qingtan, thank you. Wuuu~" Shen Wanning couldn't help but walk forward and hug Yu Qingtan, crying on her shoulder. The days when she had been abducted by the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel were Shen Wanning's darkest tis; even now, she still had nightmares, so Shen Wanning hadn't slept well in a long ti.
Yu Qingtan gently patted Shen Wanning's back, consoling her, "Wanning, it's all over now."
Shen Wanning gradually stopped crying, raised her head, and her eyes shimred with a firm light, "Qingtan, I also want to beco stronger."
Yu Qingtan smiled and nodded, "We will work together, beco stronger together. Wanning, I also slaughtered Murong Haokong!"
Yu Qingtan released Shen Wanning and then took out Murong Haokong's body.
"What, Murong Haokong, the Young Sect Master of the Extre Path Demon Sect, a Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivator, you actually killed him!" Shen Wanning's eyes widened, and her mouth hung open in an adorable manner.
Before Murong Haokong had co out, Shen Wanning had been taken into the System Space by Yu Qingtan, so she was unaware of what had happened.
"Humph, that scoundrel was the backup the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel had called for, and I got rid of him as well. How about that, I told you I was invincible!"
Yu Qingtan laughed proudly, a confident light twinkling in her eyes. Shen Wanning looked at her with eyes full of admiration. She knew Yu Qingtan was strong, but she didn't expect her to be this strong.
"Qingtan, you're really amazing!" Shen Wanning exclaid sincerely.
"Hehe, just average, the third in the world," Yu Qingtan waved her hand dismissively, appearing as casual as a cloud.
"Yep, yep, Heaven is the eldest, Earth is the second, you're the third!"
"Low-key, low-key!"
...
After joking around for a bit, the two began to carefully examine their spoils of war. Xiao Yan's belongings weren't even worth ntioning, his Storage Ring and his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler, were briefly checked by Yu Qingtan before she tossed them into a corner of the System Space.
The Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel's Lifebound Artifact, the Pearl of Disaster Passage, and a secret technique of Luck Path—the Heaven and Earth Borrowing Luck Technique—piqued Yu Qingtan's interest, but she gave them to Shen Wanning because Shen Wanning possessed the Fortune Cultivation Body. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Borrowing Luck Technique, a dual cultivation technique for n and won, was likely the secret thod the Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel had prepared to make Shen Wanning his cauldron.
Shen Wanning took the Pearl of Disaster Passage and the Heaven and Earth Borrowing Luck Technique, a complex light flickering in her eyes. She had once suffered greatly at the hands of the Calamity Crossing Venerable, and now that she had obtained his treasures and secret techniques, her heart was filled with the pleasure of avenging her wrongs but also with a hint of inexplicable heaviness.
"Qingtan, thank you. These an so much to ," Shen Wanning said softly, a steadfast glow in her eyes.
"Wanning, your Fortune Cultivation Body talent is exceptional, and while the Heaven and Earth Borrowing Luck Technique may be nefarious, it should still hold so value for you to reference," Yu Qingtan said.
