Chapter 1677 - Chapter 1677 Suppression and Soul Search, The Final Location 2
Chapter 1677: Suppression and Soul Search, The Final Location 2 Chapter 1677: Suppression and Soul Search, The Final Location 2 Editor: Henyee Translations For a moment, the many demon cultivators who had arrived at the battlefield fell silent, their eyes wide with disbelief, unsure of what to do.
They had come expecting to join a fierce battle, to rescue their lord as quickly as possible.
But what they found instead were only the remains of their lord’s steed and a battlefield in ruins.
“That’s the Lord’s immortal treasure, the longbowaEUR|” One of the Blood Sea City Xuanxian cultivators noticed something even more alarming.
In a corner of the battlefield, there was a blood-red sun flickering, its light wavering in intensity.
As he focused, he saw a longbow partially hidden within the sun, its demonic energy rising.
“This immortal treasureaEUR| it’s nearly shattered!
What exactly happened here?” Reaching the spot where the blood-red sun hovered, the Xuanxian cultivators from Blood Sea City pulled the longbow from its fiery embrace.
They gasped in horror, their faces pale with shock.
This bow had been a legendary weapon, one that had accompanied the Blood Sea City Lord in countless battles, defeating numerous foes.
Now, not only was it abandoned on the battlefield, but it was also close to being destroyed, its aura unstable and erratic.
Such a state could only mean one thingaEUR”the Blood Sea City Lord had been defeated, and his chances of survival were slim.
His immortal treasure had been discarded, an unmistakable sign of someone who had been overwhelmed and lost the ability to fight back.
“Impossible!
How could this happen?!
Who did this?!” One of the Xuanxian cultivators screamed in disbelief.
“This must be some kind of accident.
The Lord is still alive!
Search!
Dig up the entire area if you have to, we must find him!” Their frustration boiled over as they shouted orders.
They couldn’t accept the idea that anyone could have accomplished this.
Only a Golden Immortal could have done this.
But why would a Golden Immortal attack a mere Xuanxian?
This was a paradox!
“BuzzaEUR”!
BuzzaEUR”!” The air around the battlefield was filled with the sound of energy buzzing as countless demon cultivators spread out like ants, following the faint traces of demonic energy, hoping to find any clue as to the Blood Sea City Lord’s whereabouts.
But as time passed, their hope began to dwindle.
None of the demonic energy trails led outside the battlefield.
It was as though somethingaEUR”or someoneaEUR”had intentionally erased all traces of the City Lord’s presence.
Realizing this, the three Xuanxian cultivators from Blood Sea City could no longer deny it: their Lord had fallen.
After a long period of tense silence, they exchanged looks, their faces grim.
They now had no choice but to think about what to do next.
The disappearance of the Blood Sea City Lord would certainly send shockwaves throughout the Huangxue Sect, and they would have to report it.
But they knew that this would likely result in punishment, and a new Lord would be appointed in due time.
Being taken by such a powerful force meant that rescuing the Lord was impossible.
As a result, the situation in the Blood Terror Sea would inevitably undergo significant changes, with new power struggles emerging.
“Let’s goaEUR| Everyone.” “Back to the city.
We’ll report to the sect and wait for their instructions.” Several days later, the Blood Sea City cultivators left the area as swiftly as they had arrived.
The disappearance of their Lord would inevitably stir up a great uproar.
Meanwhile, deep in a desolate wilderness under the control of the Huangxue Sect, the missing Blood Sea City Lord was now imprisoned.
At this moment, the towering figure of the Lord was nailed to a mountain wall, his eyes hollow, his body etched with golden scripture that sealed his powers.
A Purple Gold Hairpin was driven into his skull, completely immobilizing him.
“In a few days, we’ll have fully extracted everything from his soulaEUR|” The voice came from Jiang Chengxuan, who sat in front of the Blood Sea City Lord’s half-dead body, holding a black-and-white orb.
He was channeling his soul force into the City Lord’s sea of consciousness, using it to extract information.
The black-and-white orb was being used for its soul-searching power, a technique that allowed Jiang Chengxuan to forcefully probe the consciousness of a suppressed immortal and extract crucial information.
This power could only be used on an immortal who had been subdued, and to make sure the technique worked on the Blood Sea City Lord, they had traveled far from the Blood Terror Sea to this isolated location.
With the combined power of the Eternal Sacred Scriptures and the Purple Gold Hairpin, they had placed a powerful seal on the already gravely wounded City Lord, rendering him nearly lifeless, leaving only a fragile thread of life.
“Good!
It’s going smoothly thanks to you, Chengxuan!” Yun Nan Feng praised, his face lighting up with relief.
He couldn’t help but recall the battle when they had cornered the Blood Sea City Lord, pushing him to the brink of defeat.
With the combined strength of two Xuanxian cultivators, there was no way they could have subdued the City Lord in such a short time.
The success of this plan was only possible because they had carefully prepared and launched a surprise attack.
Moreover, in the key moment, Jiang Chengxuan had summoned a Golden Immortal treasure, unleashing devastating power to break the City Lord’s defenses!
Together, they had severely wounded the City Lord, subdued him, and then swiftly fled, traveling far from the Blood Terror Sea.
Otherwise, they would have had to fight to the death, and the battle would have ended in mutual destruction, which would have been pointless.
What they needed was the information about the Huangxue Sect, not the City Lord’s life.
“Heh, we should be thankful that he gave us the opportunity.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything in Blood Sea City.” Jiang Chengxuan chuckled, shaking his head.
If the Blood Sea City Lord had known what had happened, he would likely have jumped out of his grave in anger.
Having spent so much time in the Blood Terror Sea, Jiang Chengxuan was confident in his abilities.
He believed that even a late-stage Xuanxian would not have been able to defeat him so easily.
But he had never imagined that two people would show up, one of them wielding a Golden Immortal treasure.
The odds of this happening were almost as slim as encountering a Golden Immortal treasure itself!
But perhaps this was just the price the City Lord had to pay for his many sins.
“Hopefully, they’re okayaEUR| No matter what happens, I’ll save you allaEUR|” In the desolate wilderness, Jiang Chengxuan continued his soul search, probing the Blood Sea City Lord’s consciousness.
Yun Nan Feng looked up at the sky, his heart heavy with worry.
Soon, the whereabouts of his parents would be revealed, but Yun Nan Feng didn’t want to imagine what kind of peril they might be in.
This was a place of unimaginable danger, where no cultivator could survive on their own.
But no matter what dangers lay ahead, he had no choice but to goaEUR”he had to find them, even if it meant risking his life.
There had to be a chance, no matter how small.
The black-and-white soul fire gradually faded from the Blood Sea City Lord’s body.
The air around him grew cold as his life force ebbed away.
In the final days, his flesh withered, visibly decaying into a brittle, rotting state.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s soul search, the City Lord’s soul was finally freed into death.
With a slow opening of his eyes, Jiang Chengxuan had obtained all the information about the Huangxue Sect that he needed.
He turned to Yun Nan Feng, his expression solemn.
“Chengxuan, how is it?
Did you find anything?” Yun Nan Feng’s heart raced as he suppressed his growing impatience.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded, his eyes scanning both Yun Nan Feng and Shen Ruyan as he spoke gravely.
“I now know about the Huangxue Sect, and there is information about your parents, Nan Feng.” Yun Nan Feng’s eyes sparkled with anticipation as he held his breath, awaiting the full answer.
Without letting him ask, Jiang Chengxuan continued, his voice heavy with concern: “Your father and mother are in a location within the Huangxue Sect.
They should still be alive, but the situationaEUR| is dire.”
