Chapter 412 Return to the Western Continent

Rewinding time to when the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword flew past Sang Chen, Ji An released the Golden Escape Technique and instantly arrived at the location of the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword.

By striking unexpectedly and catching the enemy off guard, the enemy had no defensive measures left and could only rely on his bare body to receive the attack.

The enemy was not a body cultivator at the Golden Core level, but the power of the Gengjin Spirit-Slaying Sword barely reached the Golden Core level.

Therefore, the outcome was no longer in doubt; the silver flying sword pierced the enemy's bones and brain.

The flying sword was so sharp and fast that Sang Chen didn't even feel any pain. He even saw a silver light flash past his eyes and fly away into the distance.

His brain withered amidst the decay of all things, and he felt his body float up before being engulfed by boundless darkness.

The natal magic weapon is closely related to the life of the cultivator. When Sang Chen died, the flames in the eye sockets of the white bone skull went out.

It lost all its previous agility and, like a stone thrown into the air, reached its highest point and began to fall to the ground.

Ji An took the enemy's corpse-raising bag, put the corpse into a storage bag, and then rode the cloud to catch up with the White Bone Magic Treasure, trying to put it away by manipulating the object control technique.

He had a premonition that this was the enemy's signature weapon, but he still wanted to collect it and study it.

After its master dies, the natal magic weapon cannot be used by others, and its spirituality will slowly fade away over time.

As time goes by, even the most powerful natal magic weapon will turn into wasteland.

However, the magical restrictions within his natal magic weapon are very valuable for him to learn from. He wanted to give it to the sect's weapon refiners for research, since it was the natal magic weapon of a Nascent Soul sect cultivator.

Ji An miscalculated. The magic weapon seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his object control technique could not hold it at all. Instead, his body was pulled and staggered by an invisible force.

"Oh!"

The white bone magic weapon crashed heavily to the ground, embedding itself more than two feet into the earth.

Liu Yufei fled a distance before turning his head to look, just in time to see the enemy's body disappear into his junior brother's hands. His eyes widened in horror. A Golden Core cultivator had died just like that?!

He stopped fleeing and turned back.

Zhang Kun, who was falling far away, also witnessed this mind-blowing scene. He immediately turned and fled, thinking to himself:
"What about the dignity of a Golden Core cultivator? Is this all they have to offer!"

He knew that a bloodbath was about to erupt in the Golden Lion Ridge Immortal City area, and the Earthly Fiend Sect would not accept such a defeat.

Ji An landed, intending to put the magic weapon into his storage bag, but found that the storage bag could not hold it, so he put it into the void space.

At this moment, he realized that his senior sister was missing. He hurriedly rode a cloud to search for her and found her lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.

He swooped down and found that the other person's body was ravaged by corpse fire, the exposed skin showing a ghastly green color, and there was a faint smell of corpse stench on the body.

If it weren't for the fact that the body was still moving, it would probably be mistaken for a corpse.

Startled, Ji An immediately unleashed his detoxification and rejuvenation techniques.

At this moment, the effects of these two spells were much stronger than when they were in the Foundation Establishment stage. With a flash of spiritual light, Han Yan's body seemed to be cleansed, the green color disappeared, and the stench was greatly reduced.

Liu Yu flew over and asked anxiously:
"Senior sister is injured. How badly is she injured?"

"He fell into a coma, but his vital signs seemed stable, so he should be fine."

Silver and golden auspicious clouds rose from beneath Ji An's feet. He placed Han Yan on them, then looked around and said:
"Senior brother, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back to the Thousand-Ren Mountain Range and wait for senior sister to wake up before making any further plans."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, "Yes, we really need to leave quickly. I just saw several cultivators in the distance."

A day later, a message circulated in the Immortal City of Golden Lion Ridge, quickly spreading to nearby forces and causing widespread panic.

"A Golden Core cultivator from the Earthly Fiend Sect was killed by three Nascent Soul stage cultivators at Fire Feather Mountain."

Once the news broke, it quickly spread to more distant areas. Some people were worried, while others were excited, fearing that the world was not in chaos.

Over the years, the Earthly Fiends Sect has considered itself the number one sect in the Southern Continent, and many forces have suffered oppression from it.

The Thousand-Ren Mountain Range.

Ji An laid Han Yan flat on the ground of the cave, sprinkled some ordinary spiritual herb seeds on her body, and then activated the Cloud Dragon Rainmaking Technique.

A dark cloud the size of a millstone loomed overhead, with flashes of lightning and a gentle rain, like glistening pearls, falling in abundance.

Water magic not only has the power to moisturize, but also the power to purify. This magic can better cleanse the corpse poison that has tainted my senior sister's body, and can also promote the growth and sprouting of spiritual herbs.

Liu Yu, standing nearby, was amazed by his junior brother's powerful magical control. The planting spell, which could cover dozens of acres of land, could be shrunk down to be cast in the cave.

As the spiritual rain continued to fall, the seeds took root and sprouted, their fine roots covering Han Yan's entire body.

The medicinal herbs grew rapidly, but withered quickly. Ji An cleared away the withered herbs and continued to sow the seeds.

The detoxification technique was not very effective and was probably not suitable for treating corpse poison. He would have to use spiritual herbs to absorb the toxins hidden on his senior sister's body.

After this happened several times, about 15 minutes later, Han Yan slowly woke up, feeling pain all over her body, as if her bones were broken.

Ji An hurriedly dispelled the dark cloud above the other person's head and asked with concern:
"Senior sister, how are you feeling now?"

Han Yan tried to get up, but found she had no strength at all. Enduring the pain, she said:
"My back hurts terribly, like my bones are broken. In addition, I feel dizzy and have a strong feeling of nausea, which is likely because the corpse poison has invaded my body."

She used her divine sense to retrieve a jade bottle from the Void Stone space and said:
"Thank you for your help, junior brother. Please give me an antidote pill. It was made before I left the sect and it is very effective in treating corpse poison."

There are corpse-refining sects in the Southern Continent, so she prepared such an antidote pill.

Ji An took out a blood-red pill with three lines on it, clearly a high-quality one, emitting a strong spicy aroma.

He placed the pill in his senior sister's mouth, and she swallowed it forcefully. Not long after, she started coughing, coughing up dark red blood and phlegm, which also emitted a strong stench of corpses, making him feel nauseous.

After a while, the blood that Han Yan coughed up gradually returned to normal.

She struggled to sit up, her forehead covered in large beads of sweat, and said with difficulty:

"Please burn the bloodstains, junior brother, and we'll find another cave."

The higher the level of a cultivator, the less they allow their blood to flow outside.

Ji An and Liu Yu both made hand seals, and blue flames flickered, quickly burning away all the traces.

At midnight, listening to the howling wind outside, Liu Yu let out a long sigh and said:
"We've finally made it through. All the traces we left behind will be blown away by the cold wind."

Now they are deep in the mountains, and no longer need to worry about being tracked.

He paused, then continued:

"Senior sister and junior brother displayed great power, actually managing to kill a Golden Core cultivator. It has truly broadened my horizons."

Han Yan shook her head with a wry smile, "I can't say I displayed great power; it was Junior Brother Ji who did, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries!"

At first, their most optimistic estimate was that they could injure the enemy and buy themselves a chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, she exceeded the target. At this moment, she still felt like she was living in a dream. Everything was so beautiful that it felt unreal.

Ji An shook his head and said:
"If I hadn't used two mid-grade third-tier talismans, even with my immense abilities, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to the enemy."

The enemy was careless. Half of the strength of the Earthly Fiend Sect cultivators comes from corpse refining. They fought us in the air the whole time and never had a chance to use their corpse refining abilities.

So many factors combined to lead to everyone's success.

Logically speaking, when a Golden Core cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator fight, it would be shameful for the one who loses decisively.

Fortunately, corpse cultivators at the Golden Core stage don't have the ability to fly, otherwise they would never have been able to kill their dead enemy.

"Now that the Golden Core cultivators of the Earthly Fiend Sect have died at our hands, it will inevitably cause huge trouble. Even if we stay in the Thousand-Ren Mountains, I don't think it's safe."

Let's discuss what our next step should be.

Liu Yu pondered and said:
"I think there are only two paths to take. The first is to set off and return to Xizhou."

Even with its immense power, the Earthly Fiends Sect could not possibly travel to the Western Continent to capture people unless a Nascent Soul cultivator personally intervened.

The second option is to go to the territory of the Shadowless Sect.

The two Nascent Soul sects are at odds; it's impossible for cultivators from the Earthly Fiend Sect to appear in Wuyingzhen's territory.

Ji An pondered for a moment and said:
"I suggest choosing the first option. We cannot predict the kind of shock that the death of a Golden Core cultivator can bring."

He placed the body bag on the table and said:
"These are the spoils of war. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a bronze zombie inside. Such resources are very valuable."

If sold to cultivators in the Central Continent, I wonder how many resources it could be exchanged for.

"Oh, right, we should also divide up the spoils of war. I got a Void Stone from the enemy. If we get the belongings of a Golden Core cultivator, the resources inside will immediately make everyone incredibly wealthy."

The interests involved were too enormous, and the other two also contributed significantly to the battle.

He can't take all these benefits; otherwise, they might become enemies.

After some polite refusals, everyone reached a distribution agreement: after all the items were sold, Liu Yu would take 20%, and the other two would each take 40%.

Perhaps due to her excitement, Han Yan seemed much better and said:
“I agree with Junior Brother Ji’s suggestion. Tomorrow we will fly north to find a safe area to return to Xizhou.”

Staying in the Southern Continent would indeed be very dangerous, and even escaping to the Black Mist Mountains where the Shadowless Sect is located would not be safe.

As for the matter of consuming earth and circulating qi, we can only find a solution when we return to the Western Continent. Fortunately, the core of the Divine Palace has already grown by about 80%, at which time we can exchange it for some Earth Origin Soul-Soothing Pills.

Liu Yu nodded and said:

“Once we cross the boundary river, we will be in the outer area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains. If we follow the boundary river eastward, we will still have plenty of food.”

After finalizing the evacuation plan, the three took out a map jade slip and drew up a detailed route to avoid potential dangers.

They now possess the wealth of a Golden Core cultivator, and their safe return to their sect would be a tremendous victory.
