Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 398 An Unexpected Result [Second Update, Please Subscribe]

Yu Jinghua's escape was actually witnessed by the five Golden Core cultivators of Qinglian Temple, as well as by many other Golden Core cultivators who were paying attention to the battlefield.

However, things are still unclear, and no one knows whether True Person Tianjing will have their Nascent Soul destroyed by True Person Qingxiao.

So no one was willing to intervene.

The main reason is that there are two notaries present, Yin Yue Zhenren and Zi Yang Zhenren. If they don't speak, no one else has the ability of Qing Xiao Zhenren to disregard the will of two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, your skill in changing your stance according to the wind is becoming more and more proficient!"

On a certain mountain peak, Li Jingxuan, a Golden Core cultivator from the Li family of pills, couldn't help but smile and tease Yu Jinghua after seeing his actions.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core stage patriarch of the You family smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, it seems that after today, you will be leaving Jing Kingdom for good!"

"Yes, I wonder if he regrets leaving the Zhou family back then!"

Li Jingxuan sighed softly and muttered to himself in a complicated tone.

Upon hearing this, the You family patriarch sneered, "What good is regret now? Things have already come to this point. He and the Zhou family are enemies, not friends. If the Zhou family produces a new Golden Core cultivator in the future, he'll probably be the first to demand the return of the Zhou family's heirloom treasures!"

Judging from his tone, he seemed quite disgusted by Yu Jinghua's betrayal of the Zhou family.

And that is indeed the case.

When Yu Jinghua and the Zhou family broke up, although the two families were just watching the show, they didn't necessarily have any grievances against Yu Jinghua.

After all, even disregarding the generations-long friendship between their two families and the Zhou family, just based on their own positions, they felt disgusted with Yu Jinghua, a traitor who had been raised and nurtured by his family.

However, the situation was complicated at the time, and Yu Jinghua had also gathered a group of Zhou family cultivators to follow him, but they were not able to help the Zhou family much at all.

But this doesn't diminish their disgust for Yu Jinghua!

After Yu Jinghua joined Tianjing Zhenren, he tried to win over the two of them many times, even promising them that they could serve as deputy sect leaders together after joining him.

However, the two completely disregarded Yu Jinghua's attempts to win them over and never took them seriously.

They would rather lead their people to Fengguo to reclaim their ancestral land than work with a villain like Yu Jinghua.

Time passed slowly, and soon another half hour had gone by.

During this half hour, every cultivator present was extremely unsettled.

Everyone knows that today we may witness the fall of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

That spectacular battle will undoubtedly become an unforgettable memory for them in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxiao is back!"

Suddenly, the Silver Moon Immortal in the sky changed his expression and uttered a soft sentence.

His voice wasn't loud, and apart from Master Ziyang and the five Golden Core cultivators from Qinglian Temple, the people below didn't hear it.

Not long after he finished speaking, a streak of azure light shot from the horizon and soon returned to the sky above the battlefield.

It's Qingxiao Zhenren's Nascent Soul that's back!

However, after seeing the Nascent Soul state of True Person Qingxiao, both True Person Yinyue and True Person Ziyang, Nascent Soul cultivators, changed their expressions.

Because Qingxiao Zhenren's nascent soul was visibly weak and listless at this moment, it was obvious that his origin had been damaged.

However, this was not the reason why the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators' expressions changed drastically.

The real reason for their drastic change in expression came from the hands of Qingxiao Zhenren's Nascent Soul.

In the hands of Qingxiao Zhenren's nascent soul, one hand held his own azure flying sword, the other held Tianjing Zhenren's nascent soul, and a storage bag hung at his waist.

It looked like a hunter returning from a hunt, carrying the rabbit he had caught!

This scene actually looks quite comical, because Qingxiao Zhenren's nascent soul is only six inches tall, while Tianjing Zhenren's nascent soul is only a mere three inches tall.

It's quite bizarre to see a six-inch-tall Nascent Soul carrying another Nascent Soul that's half its own height.

But the truth behind this bizarre scene is undoubtedly chilling.

It is obvious that Master Qingxiao not only caught up with Master Tianjing, but also captured him alive!

Judging from the fact that Tianjing Zhenren's nascent soul was now tightly closed, it was clear that his consciousness had been sealed by Qingxiao Zhenren, and he had completely become Qingxiao Zhenren's spoils of war.

Capturing the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator alive is undoubtedly much more difficult than killing them.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, True Person Silver Moon and True Person Purple Sun would have found it hard to believe that True Person Azure Sky possessed such abilities!

Especially Master Ziyang, although he attained enlightenment hundreds of years earlier than Master Tianjing, he is still only a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage.

If Qingxiao Zhenren was able to capture Tianjing Zhenren's Nascent Soul alive, does that mean he can also capture him alive?

The thought sent a chill down his spine, and he avoided looking at Master Qingxiao with a furtive gaze.

He had previously been eyeing the Azure Lotus Calamity Armor on the other party...

Looking at Qingxiao Zhenren again, after capturing Tianjing Zhenren's nascent soul and returning, the nascent soul immediately crashed into the physical body, and instantly returned to the physical body.

Then the physical body, which had been tightly closed, immediately opened its eyes and quickly woke up.

Visibly, his once healthy body experienced a rapid decline in vitality, and his face aged considerably, with many wrinkles appearing.

These are all negative feedbacks resulting from the excessive depletion of the nascent soul's vital energy after it returned to its original body.

Judging from the negative feedback, it seems that not only has his cultivation level dropped significantly, but his already limited lifespan has also been greatly reduced, a considerable price to pay!

However, since Master Qingxiao did that before, he must have been mentally prepared for his current situation.

At this moment, he didn't care too much about his poor condition. Instead, he held Tianjing Zhenren's nascent soul in one hand and said to Yinyue Zhenren and Ziyang Zhenren, "I'm sorry to have troubled you two fellow Daoists to wait for me. This is not the place to talk. Let's return to my cave and discuss this in detail!"

"Very well, we two are also eager to hear Fellow Daoist Qingxiao's insightful opinion!"

Yinyue Zhenren gave Qingxiao Zhenren a deep look and readily agreed.

Master Ziyang had no objection to him overstepping his bounds and agreeing to the matter on his behalf.

So the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators immediately activated their escape speed and flew towards the Qinglian Temple gate.

However, before leaving, the headless corpse of Master Tianjing was taken away by Master Qingxiao.

At the same time, the five Golden Core stage cultivators from Qinglian Temple did not return to the temple gate, but instead charged directly and aggressively towards the Tianjing Sect gate.

"It seems everything is over. Experience truly matters! Senior Qingxiao Zhenren, you truly deserve to be called the most powerful cultivator in the history of Qinglian Temple!"

On the mountain where the Su family patriarch was located, a Golden Core cultivator looked at the three Nascent Soul cultivators who had left and couldn't help but express his feelings, his words filled with reverence for Qingxiao Zhenren.

Hearing his words, another Golden Core cultivator echoed in agreement, "Indeed, before the battle began, who could have imagined that it would end like this! We can only say that Senior Qingxiao Zhenren is truly too strong and too audacious!"

After saying that, he clicked his tongue in admiration and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, capturing a fleeing Nascent Soul cultivator alive in a direct battle! When this kind of thing appears in the classics, the protagonist is usually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. I never expected that Senior Qingxiao Zhenren, with only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, could do it!"

Similar words of praise were constantly uttered by the cultivators watching the battle.

It can be said that after this battle, Qingxiao Zhenren's status in the entire Jing Kingdom's high-level cultivator circle has risen to the extreme, and many people already regard him as the number one strongman in Jing Kingdom.

A late-stage Golden Core cultivator who had traveled from outside Jing Kingdom to watch the battle burst into laughter, exclaiming, "This trip was truly worthwhile! To witness such a magnificent battle is indeed a worthwhile experience! It was worth the long journey I took day and night to come here after hearing the news. This trip was absolutely worthwhile!"

After laughing, he suddenly transformed into a golden beam of light and soared into the sky, leaving the place behind.

"That seems to be the famous Golden Thunder Old Monster of the Golden Cloud Sect, a major sect in Shen Kingdom. This old monster's Gengjin Divine Thunder technique is incredibly skillful. I once saw him fight against another late-stage Golden Core cultivator. His strength is extremely powerful, not much weaker than the Heavenly Mirror Hermit who hadn't yet formed his Nascent Soul. I didn't expect him to come this time!"

A Golden Core cultivator, watching the departing golden light, seemed to recognize its origin and suddenly spoke up, revealing his guess.

Since there were no Nascent Soul stage cultivators present, he had fewer reservations and spoke directly without hesitation.

Upon hearing his words, someone quickly chimed in, "So it's the Golden Thunder Old Monster from Shen Kingdom! He must be a senior from the same era as True Person Tianjing. Back then, everyone thought that late-stage Golden Core cultivators from major sects had a better chance of forming their Nascent Souls. Who would have thought that True Person Tianjing would emerge as a dark horse and succeed in forming his Nascent Soul first? This news must have been quite a blow to them at the time!"

It was a rare occasion for a group of Golden Core cultivators to gather together, and having just witnessed an epic battle worthy of being recorded in the annals of history, they were all extremely interested in discussing the matter and immediately began a heated discussion about it in this desolate place.

From whether Qingxiao Zhenren is truly the number one cultivator in the Jing Kingdom's cultivation world to speculating which Golden Core cultivators in the Jing Kingdom and neighboring countries are likely to reach the Nascent Soul stage, all sorts of topics have been brought up for discussion.

However, the Su family patriarch did not participate in this discussion.

He has a family and responsibilities, so he must be careful with his words and actions and not speak ill of other cultivators of the same level or those of higher realms, so as not to bring trouble to his family's descendants.

After casually making up an excuse to say goodbye to a few friends, he left the scene and flew towards Jiufengling in Lanzhou.

Although the outcome of this battle seems to be favorable for the Zhou family, he also knows that Zhou Chun and the others must be getting impatient.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to do someone a favor.

With the speed of a Golden Core cultivator, traveling from Lingzhou to Jiufeng Ridge would be extremely fast.

Just over an hour later, the Su family patriarch arrived at the Zhou family's residence at Jiufeng Ridge.

"This junior respectfully welcomes the venerable ancestor! We are honored that you have graced our humble abode with your presence!"

Outside the Zhou family's mountain gate at Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Chun rushed over to greet the aura of a Golden Core cultivator released by the Su family's patriarch.

Upon seeing this, the Su family patriarch waved his hand and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Then he entered the Zhou family's mountain gate with Zhou Chun.

Upon reaching the top of Pagoda Peak, facing Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and the others who had come to pay their respects, the Su family patriarch couldn't help but smile and say, "Alright, it seems you've all been waiting impatiently. Well then, I won't tease you anymore. It turns out that True Person Qingxiao won, so you can all relax and celebrate!"

After finishing, he vividly recounted the course of that epic battle in Lingzhou to the Zhou family.

In fact, given the cultivation level of the Su family patriarch, he probably didn't understand or comprehend most of the various supernatural abilities displayed by the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators during that great battle.

However, the general process and results are obvious to all; he only needs to add a few adjectives.

Even so, the three members of the Zhou family were stunned by his description of the great battle, just like a country child listening to a relative from the city talk about how city children usually go to class and what they play with after class.

Although I don't understand what those things are, they sound really amazing.

And in the end, naturally, everyone understood.

"This is unbelievable! I never expected it to turn out like this!"

Zhou Mingde muttered to himself in a daze, utterly shocked and surprised by the result said by the Su family patriarch.

This outcome was something neither he nor Zhou Chun had ever imagined.

Everyone had similar thoughts beforehand, believing that since Master Tianjing dared to propose the duel and agree to the duel with Master Qingxiao, he must have enough confidence and trump cards to back him up.

Even if he is no match for Master Qingxiao, he will at most have to admit defeat.

Who would have thought that the result would be so unexpected!

"By the way, what about Yu Jinghua? Senior Su, have you been keeping an eye on his movements?"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something important, Zhou Mingde looked at the Su family patriarch and asked about Yu Jinghua's situation.

The Su family patriarch, aware of the grudges between Yu Jinghua and the Zhou family, narrowed his eyes upon hearing the question and gave him a deep look, saying, "Yu Jinghua is quick-witted; he returned to the Tianjing Sect immediately after the Tianjing True Person's physical body was destroyed!"

At this point, he added, "However, when the three seniors, Qingxiao Zhenren and Yinyue Zhenren, left, the five Golden Core cultivators from Qinglian Temple went to the Tianjing Sect's mountain gate. I wonder what they will do."

"I see, I understand now. Thank you for your frank explanation, Senior Su. My family and I will never forget your kindness!"

Zhou Mingde nodded thoughtfully, and then bowed solemnly to the Su family patriarch to express his and the Zhou family's gratitude.

Upon seeing this, the Su family patriarch accepted his gratitude with a smile.

Before leaving the Zhou family, he gave a meaningful hint: "The Heavenly Mirror Sect will likely cease to exist, and Lingzhou is now a blank slate. The Azure Lotus Temple will probably re-grant fiefdoms there. If your Zhou family is interested, perhaps you can try to make some moves!"

If it were someone else, they would have released a single chapter today, leaving suspense and trying to get your monthly votes, but I'm a good person. I worked overtime to finish this chapter, and I haven't even taken a shower yet!
