Chapter 810: Chapter 351: Gu Chang Immortal City, Peng Demon Evil Territory_2

It must be a cultivator from the Gu Chang Immortal Sect,

Han Yi guessed inwardly.

He withdrew the foot he was about to step forward with, and then, a thought flickered in his mind. A phantom black blade rose from the crown of his head, gently moved forward, and disappeared into the void.

Nine Destruction Soul Bell, Fifth Soul Skill, Soul Burying Saber.

When the Soul Burying Saber reappeared, it had already reached above the head of a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator who had escaped up to a mile away.

With one slash, the phantom blade shadow flashed by.

The fleeing Nascent Soul Cultivator’s eyes dimmed, and his entire body plunged downwards. The vitality of his physical body hadn’t stopped flowing, but the Nascent Soul within him had already been annihilated inch by inch under the Soul Burying Saber, completely buried, turning him into a soulless corpse.

On the other side.

After deploying the Soul Burying Saber, Han Yi didn’t even look at the aftermath, he turned and left. As for the Qiankun Ring of the Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator he had killed with this slash, he didn’t regret it.

Killing and then robbing, he did so with a clear conscience, since all those he had killed were deserving of their ends.

However, if he were to kill for the sake of robbing, that would be reversing the root and the branches, and he would eventually descend into a robbing cultivator who doesn’t care about the ends.

After Han Yi left.

Before the soulless corpse had even landed, four figures had already descended from the sky.

At the forefront was naturally the Half-Immortal-level cultivator leading the team. His aura was trembling, and he pointed lightly at the corpse about to crash into the ground. The corpse miraculously landed in front of the cultivators.

After a brief inspection, the Half-Immortal frowned.

“Soul Skill?”

One of the Spirit Transformation cultivators beside him also checked it over once.

“Master Qiu, judging by these traces, it should certainly be a Soul Skill.”

“Furthermore, for one to instantaneously kill Nangong Qi, the perpetrator must be at least a Spirit Transformation cultivator, or even possibly a Half-Immortal.”

Another Spirit Transformation cultivator, half-closing his eyes, scanned the void, finding nothing.

“Nangong Qi couldn’t have been this foolish to provoke a Spirit Transformation or even Half-Immortal-level cultivator. It’s definitely suspicious.”

“The highest probability is that the cultivator changed his aura.”

These three Spirit Transformation cultivators, including Master Qiu, actually knew the three slain Nascent Soul cultivators.

These three Nascent Souls were loose cultivators, led by Nangong Qi, a Nascent Soul Peak Cultivator. They had a notorious reputation, but had always managed to leave no traces behind after each crime, and they didn’t provoke individuals they couldn’t handle. They had stayed safe until now, but unexpectedly died in inexplicable circumstances.

Master Qiu nodded his head, handed the corpse to a subordinate Spirit Transformation cultivator, and commanded in a deep voice:

“This cultivator, be it Spirit Transformation or Half-Immortal, seems to be someone who doesn’t want any trouble.”

“The sect master is in closed-door cultivation, about to advance to the Golden Immortal level. Let’s leave the matter at this for now. If there are other cases involving Soul Skills above Spirit Transformation level, investigate them all together.”

“As for the three Nangong brothers, they had it coming.”

…

Han Yi didn’t realize that his timing was quite peculiar.

The Sect Master of Gu Chang Immortal Sect had been in close-door cultivation for three thousand years. Where he was cultivating, shifts in aura signalized that the Golden Immortal Tribulation could arrive at any moment.

This resulted in intense anxiety among all the cultivators of the Gu Chang Immortal Sect.

Actually.

The task Han Yi was assigned this time was considered an external duty, but it was not difficult to complete because the task was relatively simple:

“Go to Gu Chang Immortal City and kill three thousand evil ghosts in Ghost Suppression Cave.”

He didn’t know if this task was a legacy of Yuan Qinghong or Wang Xijin; it was a special request on the Immortal Road task.

Similar to the task he saw on his Ninefold Soul Tower task, ‘Cultivate for a month in the Evil Spirit Dongtian World’, this involved going to a specific place to complete a certain task.

As for the Ghost Suppression Cave of this task, the entrance is located in Gu Chang Immortal City, under the jurisdiction of Gu Chang Immortal Sect. However, it wasn’t closed off, but opened to the public.

Han Yi came for this reason.

However, he frowned when he arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Suppression Cave only to be informed by outer sect cultivators of the Immortal Sect that the Ghost Suppression Cave was closed and the reopening time was to be determined.

Upon further inquiries, Han Yi soon understood the reason.

The Sect Master of Gu Chang Immortal City had been in closed-door cultivation for several thousand years. The place where he was cultivating had begun to reveal an aura of Golden Immortal Tribulation. The Immortal Catastrophe could break out at any time.

The aura of this Immortal Catastrophe couldn’t even be concealed anymore.

At this moment, the Immortal Sect cultivators were extremely vigilant, the Sect Guardian Array, a third-stage Immortal grade array that could counter Golden Immortals, had already been activated.

Even though the Immortal Array hadn’t enveloped the Ghost Suppression Cave, the Immortal Sect decided to temporarily seal it to prevent any accidents.

Upon learning of this, Han Yi fell silent for a moment before quickly turning and leaving.

This Gu Chang Immortal City had become a place of conflict and was not a place to stay for long. He could wait to complete his task after the situation had stabilized, there was no need to rush.
