Chapter 1269: Chapter 1269: Nascent Soul Realm Spirits (3 Updates)
Upon hearing the voice of the scar-faced woman, Ming Quan instantly transformed all his emotions into respect. He respectfully said, "District Master Wan, these people say they can find the Xuanmen’s inner agent placed there, so I..."
"Foolish!" District Master Wan coldly snorted, "When we were integrating the Evil Sect, we conducted a comprehensive screening. How could there be any inner agent left?"
Ming Quan was suddenly startled at these words, then turned with an angry glare at Ye Haochuan, saying, "Damn liar, how dare you deceive me, courting death!"
As District Master Wan said, the Xuanming Sect had long conducted a thorough scan within the Evil Sect. As cultivators who primarily cultivated souls, it would not take long to search someone’s soul. How could any inner agent escape such scrutiny?
He was overly concerned with the previous failure, blinded by the situation, failing to think of this. Now realizing it, he naturally wouldn’t let Ye Haochuan and others off easily.
Ye Haochuan secretly thought that something was wrong, quickly broke free from the surrounding underlings, and had everyone arrange into the Genius Seven Kills Formation, preparing for the final battle.
He had thought he could delay a little longer but hadn’t expected this woman’s appearance to negate all his efforts.
"That woman is only at the Foundation Establishment stage; should we use her for leverage?" Yue Deng proposed otherwise.
They had all seen Ming Quan’s respect for District Master Wan. Although they didn’t know why a Nascent Soul Late Stage master would respect a Foundation Establishment stage woman so much, it was obviously an opportunity for them.
"No!" Ye Haochuan hastily stopped him.
He had also noticed her cultivation, but he always felt it wasn’t true. This woman gave him a sense of danger that he couldn’t see through—how could she only be at the Foundation Establishment stage?
District Master Wan seemed to have also heard Yue Deng’s words and looked at them with interest.
However, after hearing Ye Haochuan’s response, she seemed somewhat disappointed and said to Ming Quan, "Deal with it quickly, you still have a lot to do!"
After saying this, she left unhurriedly as she had arrived.
Ming Quan, respecting District Master Wan to his core, suppressed his previous anger and watched the District Master leave, before turning his head coldly towards Ye Haochuan.
"You are indeed a quick thinker, but playing tricks on me will only make your death more miserable!"
Ming Quan coldly snorted, suddenly wielding a Ghost Grand Banner. As soon as this grand banner appeared, the surrounding temperature abruptly dropped to zero. Terrible screams emanated from the banner, chilling the spine.
"Enjoy death!" Ming Quan suddenly cackled and then shouted, "Thousand Souls Devouring!"
As soon as his words fell, wisps of black smoke, accompanied by eerie shrieks, surged out from the banner.
After escaping the control of the grand banner, the black smoke gradually took on human form, appearing valiant and extraordinary.
"Are these... Nascent Soul Realm spirits?" Ye Haochuan was shocked in his heart.
Generally, when cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, after death, their souls can survive nourished by their own spiritual energy.
But because it defies the Heavenly Dao, they cannot linger in the world long-term; as their cultivation increases, they can stay longer.
However, there’s also a possibility of existing long-term, like the soul in the Communicating with God Treasure Order, which finds a specific vessel for attachment.
And the grand banner is a magic artifact specifically made for these souls to hide. However, attaching to it, the consciousness of the soul is assimilated by the owner of the banner, eventually becoming mindless killing machines.
With the support of the banner, souls usually possess combat capabilities no weaker than in life, which is why Ye Haochuan was so astounded.
There were three or four Nascent Soul Realm spirits, even though most were in the Early Stage, enough to match him.
Ye Haochuan was curious why such formidable measures weren’t used on the front lines. If they had used this earlier, the Xuanmen’s second team would probably have been defeated already?
"Screech~"
As he pondered, one Nascent Soul Early Stage spirit floated over, appearing quite excited.
Damn, while I may not be able to beat a few of you, but a single ghost dares to be arrogant in front of me? This is disregarding me, isn’t it?
Ye Haochuan coldly snorted, and the Divine Concealment Sword slashed down obliquely.
The expected sound of a blade cutting flesh never came; the soul remained unscathed, causing Ye Haochuan to stagger.
Damn, how did I forget this part; these souls have no physical form, so using swords can’t harm them.
Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly and quickly summoned the White Spirit Moxa Flame. This was the bane of such entities.
Sure enough, as the White Spirit Moxa Flame moved, the spirit noticeably retreated in fear. However, soon, it was no longer afraid, instead slapping the moxa flame into pieces.
Damn, do you have to be so fierce?
Ye Haochuan’s face was grim, realizing that the grade of the White Spirit Moxa Flame was still too low, unable to harm these Nascent Soul Realm entities.
"Genius Seven Kills, Control Formation!"
In a moment of crisis, Ke Yan suddenly shouted elegantly, causing the Genius Seven Kills Formation to condense again, raising a tortoiseshell protective shield.
"Naive!" Ming Quan sneered, directly controlling the Nascent Soul Realm spirit to fly toward Ke Yan.
"No, get out of the way!" Ye Haochuan shouted urgently and rushed to Ke Yan.
This spirit couldn’t be defended against in normal ways; the tortoiseshell was effective against ordinary attacks, but obviously not against souls.
Sure enough, the spirit passed through the tortoiseshell protective shield without any obstruction.
Ke Yan’s face turned pale instantly, wanting to escape but finding her speed couldn’t compare to the spirit.
"Yanyan~" Langfan shouted longingly, rushing over to rescue, but his speed couldn’t match the Nascent Soul spirit, doing nothing but getting anxious.
"Am I going to die?" Despair appeared on Ke Yan’s face; she didn’t even resist because she had no idea how to fight this strange thing.
Just as she was about to reach to embrace death, Ye Haochuan’s figure suddenly appeared before her.
"Die!"
The Divine Concealment Sword, sheathed in White Spirit Moxa Flame, slashed through, and the moxa flame began to glow faintly red on the sword.
"Squeal~"
The soul’s wailing almost echoed throughout The Pentagon.
The White Spirit Moxa Flame, relying on the Fire Attribute of the Divine Concealment Sword, increased in power, slicing the soul in half.
"Damn!" Ming Quan cursed, quickly retrieving the injured Nascent Soul spirit into the grand banner.
There were very few Nascent Soul spirits; losing one was a tremendous loss.
"Damn it, I really underestimated you, kid! Let’s see how long you can hold on!" Ming Quan suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely.
With that, he waved his right hand forward, and all the spirits instantly let out a long cry, charging at Ye Haochuan and the others.
