The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 843 No way to survive

On the border of Nanzhou, on the thunder boat.

Ge Xun couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Do you still want to hear the message from Jade Maiden Zong Xueyou?"

Pan Chengfeng quickly nodded and said, "Listen, listen, why is that Saint Lady so mysterious? There's not even a hint of news about her."

After thinking for a moment, Ge Xun said, "Xueyou of the Jade Maiden Sect is the adopted daughter of Fu Wanjun, the Sect Master of the Jade Maiden Sect, and also her only disciple.

More than three hundred years ago, Fu Wanjun went out and returned to the clan ten years later with a baby girl in her arms. No one knew the origin of the baby girl.

Moreover, Fu Wanjun announced on the same day that the baby girl was her only direct descendant, which many people found strange.

Our sect was also very curious, and since then, we have ordered people to investigate the origins of this baby girl, but unfortunately, we still have no clues."

Liu Qian interrupted, "Old Ghost, everyone knows about this, so you should just talk about the important things."

Pan Chengfeng didn't care and just treated it as listening to a story. The others were similar.

Ge Xun ignored Liu Qian and continued with a chuckle, "This girl has shown amazing talent for cultivation since she was young. By the time she was twenty, she had already achieved the Nascent Soul stage, alarming all the forces in Northern Continent.

Everyone was extremely concerned about this woman, but unfortunately Fu Wanjun protected her too well and never let Xue You appear in public, and she didn't even participate in the competitions within the sect.

However, just thirty years ago, this mysterious Saint actually disguised herself and secretly left the sect~"

Speaking of this, Ge Xun couldn't help but laugh, and said proudly: "This sect is also very careful. Among the disciples sent to investigate Xue You, there is one who practices the secret art of the soul.

Although his esoteric skills aren't very good, his perception of souls is still very sharp. Otherwise, no one would have recognized this Saint."

"Soul secret art?" Pan Chengfeng just learned about this kind of secret art today, and now he heard Ge Xun mention it again.

He wanted to ask, but since he was the younger generation, it would be rude to interrupt Ge Xun. If he got scolded, Uncle Yun wouldn't be able to help him. So he suppressed his curiosity and continued to listen to Ge Xun.

Ge Xun continued, "A disciple of our sect has reached the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. He followed Xue You all the way to an auction in Beizhou, but was left behind by Xue You at the auction!

You have to know that Xue You was only in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm at that time, but she was able to easily shake off a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm. This shows that her spiritual awareness and physical skills are no worse than that disciple's!"

Liu Qian said calmly, "That's all the information I have? It doesn't seem to have much value. There are many geniuses in the late stage of Spiritualization who can kill those in the Void Refining stage. We each have some of them.

Including the three younger generations here, it shouldn't be difficult to kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm."

Ge Xun smiled lightly and said, "Of course, this is not all the information. Fellow Daoist Liu, please listen patiently to what I have to say.

After losing Xue You, the disciple searched the town for several times but couldn't find her. He was planning to leave, but something happened!

Ge Xun glanced at the people present and continued, "I think you two should know about this matter. The leader of the Beizhou Snow Goose Sect, Mao Xinqi, was suddenly killed!"

Shangguan Yun's pupils shrank as he said, "The leader of the Snow Goose Sect, Fellow Daoist Mao Xinqi, died thirty years ago. Of course we know about this. He was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm!"

Ge Xun nodded and said, "Yes, Mao Xinqi was a true mid-stage Fusion cultivator. This sect has seen him before. Even among mid-stage Fusion cultivators, he was not weak. Yet, he died just like that."

The person who killed him left no clues, and the Xueyan Sect has been investigating for decades to no avail. It remains an unsolved case to this day. But we know that Xue You was the one who killed Mao Xinqi!"

Shangguan Yun pressed the issue, "Why does Sect Leader Ge believe that Xue You killed Mao Xinqi?"

Ge Xun raised his lips and said, "Do you remember the disciple our sect just mentioned? He practices the secret art of the soul.

When he was about to leave the town, a shocking battle suddenly broke out thousands of miles away from the town.

All the monks nearby did not dare to get close until a quarter of an hour later, when the battle was over, monks came forward one after another to check the situation.

As a result, only Mao Xinqi's body was left at the scene. His soul and spirit were completely destroyed, and he was deader than dead.

That disciple also went over to join in the fun. When he realized the place, he sensed Xue You's remaining soul aura. Although it was weak and quickly dissipated, he still managed to capture a little bit of it.

Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "When one's cultivation reaches the state of fusion, it's not difficult to defeat a cultivator of the same level, but if one wants to kill him, the difficulty increases several times. After all, they have been practicing for thousands of years, so they must have some means of preserving their lives.

To be able to make a fusion cultivator unable to use any means to save his life, or even if he did use them, he would still be unable to escape, so his cultivation must be at least one level lower than his."

Liu Qian said solemnly, "According to what Senior Brother Shangguan said, a cultivator who wants to kill Mao Xinqi must be at least in the late stage of fusion or even at the peak of fusion.

Such cultivators are the focus of attention of all major sects, and their every move cannot escape the eyes of all major sects.

Those who are in the middle stage of fusion and can kill cultivators of the same level are also the ones that everyone pays attention to.

Since these people have been ruled out as suspects, the only possibility is that they were killed by someone who surpassed their level!"

Ge Xun nodded and said, "That's right! Many people in Beizhou are investigating this matter. They have ruled out all those who can kill Mao Xinqi, and they have come to the same conclusion as you, that he killed someone above his level!

At this very moment, Xue You appeared there. Although it sounds ridiculous that a late-stage Spiritualization cultivator could kill a mid-stage Fusion cultivator, this is the only possibility!

Pan Chengfeng shuddered unconsciously and thought to himself, "Damn it! Let alone a mid-stage fusion, I can't even beat one in the early stage of fusion. This is too perverted! Who the hell is the time traveler?"

Shangguan Yun took a few glances at the younger generation's reactions and said, "Although Sect Leader Ge's judgment on this matter is generally correct, you shouldn't feel too burdened.

This sect believes that Xue You is not someone who kills indiscriminately. If you encounter him, it would be okay to show weakness if necessary."

"Show weakness" is a euphemism. Everyone understands what it means. If you run into someone, just kneel down and call me "auntie" and beg for mercy.

Pan Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Before, when I heard that someone could kill an early stage fusion cultivator, I still had some hope. At least I wouldn't be completely defenseless. But this Saint Lady won't leave anyone any chance of survival!"

The joy of getting a wisteria stem vanished in an instant. It would have been better if I didn't know the strength of my opponent. Now I don't have to be so depressed.

Pan Chengfeng was in a heavy mood, and Li Ke and Xin'er weren't much better either. Seeing the three younger generations like this, Liu Qian comforted them, "You three are all under a hundred years old, and you're all only in the Nascent Soul stage. Don't push yourselves too hard."

Ge Xun laughed and said, "It's just Xue You who you can't mess with, just avoid her~

This competition is the first time that our three sects have been so united, so the results will definitely be good~"

Ge Xun looked at Pan Chengfeng and said, "Boy, our sect has high hopes for you. You are a Savage Saint Body. Are you really afraid of those geniuses?"

Pan Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master Ge, you think too highly of me. I have only been practicing for seventy years, how can I compare to those geniuses who have practiced for three to five hundred years.

If I were given another hundred years, I would be confident I could win the competition, but unfortunately I don't have that much time."

Shangguan Yun patted Pan Chengfeng on the shoulder and said, "There are still ten months left. Didn't you just get a precious herb? Go improve your strength. Don't worry about anything else."
