With a thought, Song Wen summoned a Giant Flying Ship, several dozen ters long.
"Seniors, Xiang Rong is quite far from here. Shall we travel by ship?"
Wang Qiuyue, holding a jade slip, was using her divine sense to examine the Thousand Miles Breath Tracking Technique recorded within.
She didn’t respond to Song Wen, but instead flashed onto the ship and entered the ship tower without a word.
Bai Wei smiled faintly at Song Wen before also boarding the ship.
Song Wen flew to the ship’s bow, sat cross-legged, and swallowed two dicinal pills. He began controlling the ship while simultaneously refining the pills to heal his injuries.
The next day:
"Hahaha! This venerable one has finally succeeded!"
Wang Qiuyue’s voice suddenly echoed from the ship tower.
Song Wen turned to look.
Wang Qiuyue erged from the ship tower, a wisp of azure smoke floating before her, identical to the one before Song Wen.
Clearly, she had mastered the Thousand Miles Breath Tracking Technique and successfully cast the secret art using Xiang Rong’s shield.
"Gou Jun, the deviation of this azure smoke is minimal now. Does this indicate Xiang Rong is nearby?"
"Precisely," Song Wen nodded in agreent.
Wang Qiuyue’s eyebrows arched, her interest piqued.
"Go rest. I’ll take over piloting the ship."
"Then I’ll leave it to you, Senior."
As Song Wen spoke, he floated backward several ters, clearing the ship’s bow.
The Giant Flying Ship was a common model, its hull covered in formation patterns that converged at the ship’s prow.
By channeling spiritual power into this nexus, one could control the vessel.
Wang Qiuyue strode to the prow and stood proudly.
She channeled her spiritual power from her feet into the nexus.
Instantly, the ship’s speed surged.
After flying for another hour, the ship gradually slowed, eventually hovering above a lake.
The lake was relatively small, spanning only about three thousand miles in diater.
"Xiang Rong should be sowhere beneath this lake," Wang Qiuyue murmured, scanning the water’s surface. Without pausing, she turned toward the ship tower and called out loudly, "Bai Wei, co out and get to work! This body of water is perfect for you to show off your skills!"
Monts later, Bai Wei erged from the ship tower.
She hovered in mid-air, her white robes billowing in the high-altitude wind.
A crystalline liquid coalesced before her, swirling rapidly around her until it ford a transparent vortex several dozen feet tall.
"Go!"
With a sharp command, Bai Wei released the vortex, sending it plunging toward the lake below.
The mont the vortex touched the water’s surface, the lake water began to swirl in tandem, creating an even larger vortex.
The lake vortex expanded wildly, engulfing the entire lake in an instant.
The vast expanse of water, spanning three thousand miles, transford into a colossal abyss.
As the whirlpool churned, monstrous waves crashed against the shore, and the earth trembled violently.
The once-clear lake water instantly turned murky as the vortex stirred up silt and debris from the lakebed.
Fish, shrimp, and aquatic demons within the lake were shredded into bloody pulp, staining the water with a faint tallic tang.
Yet Bai Wei’s assault was far from over.
Under the vortex’s relentless rotation, the entire mass of water gradually lifted from the ground, hovering slowly into the air.
In an instant, the lake was completely emptied, leaving only the vortex-scoured lakebed exposed.
"Xiang Rong, co out now," Wang Qiuyue said with smug satisfaction. "The sixteen formation flags you planted on the lakebed have all been shattered by Bai Wei. There’s nowhere left to hide."
Xiang Rong erged slowly from a cave beneath the lakebed, his expression dark and resentful.
"How did you find ?"
"Heh," Wang Qiuyue chuckled softly. "Do you think a re rogue cultivator like you could fathom the thods we employ? You interfered with Gou Jun’s breakthrough. Today is your day of reckoning."
As Wang Qiuyue’s words echoed like a secret incantation, the massive vortex hanging in the air suddenly plunged downward.
Rumble—
The colossal vortex, carrying the force of ten thousand tons, crashed into the lakebed.
In an instant, the heavens and earth seed to shatter.
The ground cracked open in a spiderweb pattern, fissures spreading rapidly from the lakebed in all directions.
The lake water churned violently, erupting into colossal waves that sent countless muddy droplets splashing into the air.
As the massive vortex descended, Xiang Rong unleashed a torrent of spiritual power, condensing it into a thick protective shield that enveloped his entire body.
Though the vortex appeared overwhelmingly powerful, it was ultimately just ordinary lake water. Xiang Rong pierced through it effortlessly, ascending into the sky unscathed.
But the next mont, two colossal dragon claw phantom shadows slamd down from either side.
Xiang Rong felt like a mosquito trapped between two towering walls, with nowhere to escape.
Bang!
The two massive claws collided with a deafening, earth-shattering roar.
A surge of violent energy erupted outward.
The claws themselves instantly disintegrated into motes of spiritual light, which scattered in all directions along with the lingering force of the impact.
As for Xiang Rong, the protective spiritual power he had summoned proved utterly inadequate against the claws’ assault. His shield shattered instantly.
Under the crushing blows of the two massive claws, Xiang Rong was reduced to a mangled ss, his bones shattered throughout his body. Jagged fragnts of bone pierced through his flesh, and blood gushed forth like a fountain.
Even his skull had been crushed, his eyeballs dislodged from their sockets, barely connected by a few strands of nerve tissue.
Whether Wang Qiuyue had deliberately held back or Xiang Rong’s life force was unusually resilient, he clung to a single breath despite his catastrophic injuries.
His divine soul abruptly retreated into his dantian, attempting to seize control of his nascent soul and flee.
But from the still-churning lake below, a crystalline water dragon suddenly erupted from the waves.
The water dragon coiled through the air, instantly ensnaring his mangled body. Like a giant python constricting its prey, it tightened its grip with brutal force.
Xiang Rong’s already shattered body twisted and contorted under the water’s crushing pressure, nearly being torn into pieces.
To his utter despair, the transparent liquid seeped into his body like a living entity, imprisoning his nascent soul in an unyielding cage, rendering it utterly immobile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Wang Qiuyue’s figure materialized beside Xiang Rong.
"Xiang Rong, back on Lan Yuan Mountain, I gave you a chance to live by letting you retreat. Yet you dared to plot against Bai Wei and , seeking to kill us and seize our treasures. I thought you were stronger than this, challenging two Body Integration Stage cultivators from Spirit Jade Palace as a re rogue cultivator. But you’re just like the rest of those rogue cultivators—utterly diocre," Wang Qiuyue sneered.
"My very presence on Lan Yuan Mountain offended you both. Even if I had retreated then, you would have hunted down later to settle the score. Since death was inevitable, I might as well have fought," Xiang Rong’s resentful voice echoed from his dantian, clearly emanating from his divine soul.
"Wang Qiuyue always keeps her word. I said I’d let you leave, and I would have honored that promise—unlike you rogue cultivators, who are utterly untrustworthy. But you chose to be clever, seeking your own doom. Now that you’ve t your end, don’t bla anyone but yourself."
Wang Qiuyue flicked her sleeve and turned to Song Wen, continuing, "Gou Jun, he is yours to deal with."
