Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 115 Yellow Springs Nascent Soul
When Yang Qisheng heard Lu Yichao say that he and his master had actually forced Ye Yunqiao to betray Taiyi Palace and even suffered the injury of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Finger, he was furious and wished he could immediately release his flying sword to kill this bastard!

He suppressed his anger and had Xiaoqian ask him, "This place is a den of dragons and tigers; let's leave as soon as possible."

Lu Yichao remained seated on the stone bed.

"What? We need to hurry, Mu Canzhuang will be back soon..."

Lu Yichao stared at him: "How did you know the Ghost Consort's name?"

"I……"

"When the judge came just now, the ghost queen said she sensed the presence of a living person. The judge said that someone must have actually sneaked in. Could it be that you were the one who sneaked in just now?"

"Yes, it's me... Never mind that, let's hurry up and go."

"No, it couldn't be you. How much skill do you have to deceive the Ghost Queen? There must have been someone else who came in with you, could it be Eighth Uncle?"

“It’s either Eighth Uncle or me.” Xiaoqian looked at Lu Yichao and suddenly asked, “Brother Lu, your attitude is not right. We heard from the vengeful ghosts outside that you have secretly sided with Cui Wushe, betrayed Taiyi Palace, and joined the Taiyin Sect. Is that... true?”

The two locked eyes, staring intently at each other, each trying to see through the other's secrets.

Suddenly, Lu Yichao made a move, releasing a white sword light that enveloped Xiaoqian in the center, and said sternly, "Where is Eighth Martial Uncle now? Who else came in with you?"

Xiaoqian feigned a horrified expression: "Senior brother? What are you doing? I'm your junior brother! Have you really betrayed our master and surrendered to Cui Wushe?"

"According to you, since I have already joined the Judge's ranks, you are no longer my junior brother!" Lu Yichao sneered, reaching into the sword formation. He wanted to cut off "Xue Yan's" arm first so he could interrogate his accomplice.

However, Xiaoqian's true nature was a demon within her heart. As his sword net contracted inward, the sword light slashed from the side. Xiaoqian's body swayed, and she transformed into a gentle breeze, instantly disappearing into thin air.

Lu Yichao was taken aback, guessing that "Xue Yan" had used some kind of invisibility technique to hide his figure and escape to another place. He hurriedly swept his sword left and right and flicked it up and down, but he got nothing.

Once Yang Qisheng was certain that this fellow had betrayed his master and sect, he recalled Xiaoqian. Suddenly, he sensed a commotion in the distance, and a powerful, chilling aura swept in from all directions.

A master of the Ghost Path has arrived!
It's either Cui Wushe or Mu Canzhuang.

Yang Qisheng's escape route was cut off; if he went out through the passage again, he would inevitably run into the other party.

He continued walking along the passage and reluctantly entered the Dark Spring Cave.

Lu Yichao was still wielding his sword, searching for the hidden Xue Yan. Yang Qisheng jumped up the niche along the wall, using half magic and half lightness skill, carefully and quickly leaping one after another until he reached the innermost and highest niche in the cave, where he forcefully hid himself in a corner.

Before he could hide completely, Mu Canzhuang flew over from outside.

The woman was incredibly beautiful, no less so than Wen Jingluan. She was only wrapped in a semi-transparent red veil. She flew in and nestled into Lu Yichao's arms, wrapping her arms around him and laughing sweetly, "My darling, what are you doing?"

Lu Yichao put his arm around Mu Canzhuang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "When my master came in earlier, you told her that you sensed the presence of a living person, and it turned out to be true!"

Mu Canzhuang was slightly taken aback: "Someone really came in? I was just laughing at him for being overly cautious and delaying our cultivation."

"Yes, my junior brother Xue Yan, who has only recently set up his furnace. He certainly doesn't have that much ability; someone must have brought him in. It must be my former eighth master, Master Hongjian."

“Master Hongjian? That’s impossible. Your master just fought with him and injured him with the Hundred Poisons Ghostly Fiend. He might have already turned into a pool of black water by now.”

"The Hundred Poisons Demonic Fiend? Master has successfully refined the Hundred Poisons Nascent Soul?"

“Exactly!” Mu Canzhuang laughed. “Thanks to Old Man Wutou, his poison is useless against us in the Ghost Path. We have long since transcended life and death. What difference does it make to us whether we live or die? But it is extremely useful against the orthodox Xuanmen sect of Taiyi Palace. Alas, your master has cultivated for so many years without being able to nurture a Nascent Soul. Now that he has snatched Old Man Wutou’s Nascent Soul and combined them, he has broken through his original realm and entered the Nascent Soul Realm! Let’s work hard too! My Nascent Soul will be born soon…” As she spoke, she hugged Lu Yichao’s neck tightly and kissed his lips. Lu Yichao struggled slightly: “My junior brother has not been found yet. He is not capable of entering. If it is not Eighth Uncle, it will be someone else.”

"So what if he's someone else? Your master has already sealed off all the key points outside and is searching every cave one by one. We'll just enjoy our own time. Besides, does he even have the ability to come back here? If he does, I'll just have another one. I must say, the young men from your Taiyi Palace are really something else. I wonder how your junior brother is doing..."

With a wave of her hand, Mu Canzhuang released a patch of cold yellow flames that spread across the ground, covering the floor inside the Youquan Cave and completely sealing the entrance.

This couple of dogs!
Yang Qisheng cautiously peered down from the cave niche, wishing he could strike now and kill the two of them in one fell swoop!
However, Mu Canzhuang's magic power was too high. If he made the slightest move, he might be caught by her at will... He didn't want to end up like Lu Yichao, being dragged to bed to be rewarded by her.

He patiently waited for the opportunity to arise.

From their conversation, we can learn that the old man with the black hair has indeed met with misfortune, and his nascent soul has been taken away by Cui Wushe, who used it to cultivate into the Nascent Soul realm.

Not only that, the old man's nascent soul is poisonous, and Cui Wushe can also use many of the highly toxic methods within the nascent soul.

Even my junior uncle was poisoned and had to retreat...

However, Junior Uncle should not be poisoned to death; he will definitely go to the East Sea to find Fourth Uncle.

It is said that the Fourth Master Taiyang Zhenren possessed extremely high magical power. Xue Yan used to look down on the people of the "Outer Five Sects," but when he mentioned the Fourth Master Taiyang Zhenren, he was full of awe.

Fourth Master Uncle not only possesses formidable magical power himself, but also has six disciples, all of whom are at the Golden Core stage. With his intervention, they will surely be able to flatten this place and vanquish all the demons and evil spirits!
Yang Qisheng calculated the time, hoping that Zhen Yong would return quickly. If he could time it perfectly and launch an attack from both inside and outside at the same time, that would be ideal!
Mu Canzhuang and Lu Yichao kept rewarding each other. About six hours passed, and Lu Yichao was panting more and more heavily, sweating profusely. When they finally separated, his feet were trembling on the ground.

Mu Canzhuang said with satisfaction, "You should go and rest for a while. I'm about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Lu Yichao sat cross-legged beside her and said sincerely, "I will protect you."

Mu Canzhuang nodded in agreement, then closed her eyes to begin her cultivation.

Lu Yichao closed his eyes and sat in meditation, his breathing gradually returning to calm.

Yang Qisheng silently said in his heart, "Quickly release the sword formation and cut this demon into pieces. I will forgive you immediately and go out to fight alongside you!"

Despite repeated attempts, Lu Yichao remained unmoved.

It seems he is truly dedicated to protecting Mu Canzhuang.

After a while, Mu Canzhuang suddenly opened her eyes.

Lu Yichao asked excitedly, "Did it work?"

"It's done!" Mu Canzhuang exclaimed with a smile, "I've already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"That's wonderful!" Lu Yichao was even happier than her. "You and my master have both cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. If that old Taoist comes looking for me to clean up his ways in the future, we won't have to be afraid of him anymore!"

"Hahaha," Mu Canzhuang laughed, "Not bad, not bad, but now that we have a son, do you want to see what he looks like?"

Lu Yichao was taken aback: "Can a Nascent Soul cultivator be released to look around at will?"

"Of course, our son is hungry, we have to feed him blood..."
