Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered like a broken mirror, and Qinglin's phantom dissolved in the light, leaving only a long sigh.

The mountain at the Burial Immortal Pool began to collapse, with boulders rolling down carrying talismanic fire. The vengeful spirits that had been suppressed here were freed and surged outwards like a tide, only to turn into green smoke the moment they came into contact with the sunlight.

That was the defensive line that Qiu Yao set up for the sealing boundary with her last bit of strength before she self-destructed.

Lin Che raised his hand and caught the rune that was falling from mid-air. The rune was warm to the touch, and he could vaguely feel the primordial power remaining in it.

He glanced at the collapsing core of the Burial Immortal Pool, then at the panicked cultivators of the Cultivation Alliance in the distance, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he put the rune into his sleeve.

There is no need to keep this place.

Lin Che spoke calmly, his figure transforming into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon before the Burial Immortal Pool completely sank into the ground.

Behind them lay the settled ruins and the sound of a past soaked in blood being completely buried.

The surviving cultivators watched the direction he left in, but none of them dared to chase after him. They could only savor the chill left by this earth-shattering event amidst the lingering incense.

…………

The Qinglin Cave is filled with numerous restrictions. To enter its depths, one must break all of them. Only by breaking all of them can one have the chance to reach the deepest part.

Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back, looking at the restrictions in front of him with a calm expression, as if the restrictions here were incomparable to those in the Ancient God Land.

Although the restrictions here are extremely powerful, in terms of the craftsmanship, the ancient god Tu Si is definitely superior.

Lin Che placed his hands in front of his chest, touching his index finger and thumb together to form a diamond pattern. He then hummed softly, and a brilliant golden light burst out from his fingertips.

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the immense energy suddenly enveloped the entire restricted mountain peak, destroying all the restrictions in an instant.

As the ban was destroyed, the mountaintop in front of him began to shake violently, and then even more powerful energy swept towards this direction like a raging storm.

Lin Che strode forward. The group of cultivators who had been there earlier had either already left or had taken the opportunity to sneak up and try to get a share of the spoils.

"The path of cultivation should be fraught with peril. If it were all about taking shortcuts and tricks, then there would be no point in existing in this world."

Lin Che glanced behind him, his fingers moving rapidly. At the same time, a special restriction was cast into the air, firmly controlling the area.

If you want to break through the restrictions here, you must break the restrictions; otherwise, don't even think about stepping into this place.

The group of cultivators also glared with displeasure, their eyes wide like copper bells, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Che's actions.

But no one dared to say a word, after all, offending a late-stage Shattered Nirvana expert was not a wise choice.

.........

Passing through the barrier, they found themselves facing Wang Wei and Hu Juan, the immortal couple. They too had arrived here by breaking the barrier.

Almost all of those who were able to come here were cultivators at the Shattered Nirvana Realm.

After all, Pure Nirvana cultivators are like ants, especially in the Qinglin Cave, where they are extremely vulnerable and have almost no ability to enter.

"Brother Lin, you've come in too." Wang Wei and Hu Juan bowed slightly to Lin Che and said softly.

Lin Che nodded: "Brother Wang, this should be the depths of the cave, right? I wonder if the things left behind by the Immortal Emperor Qinglin are here?"

Wang Wei and Hu Juan looked at each other, shook their heads, and replied with a bitter smile, "Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but we don't know either. After all, after our master built the cave, no one knew what was inside except for himself."

As disciples, Wang Wei and Hu Juan were deeply favored by their master, but they knew nothing about the cave dwelling. Even Qinglin Immortal Emperor's daughter, Qing Shuang Immortal Lord, was unaware of it, let alone the disciples themselves.

Lin Che looked around, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Where did Immortal Lord Qing Shuang go? Isn't she with you?"

"After entering the cave, we got separated, and we also entered the bottle world, so we don't know the specifics of what happened."

Lin Che landed steadily on the ground, sensing the energy fluctuations in the air, and indirectly knew that Immortal Lord Qing Shuang should have entered a deeper location.

Just as Lin Che was about to lead Wang Wei and Hu Juan deeper into the area, the cliffs on both sides suddenly began to shake, and then a powerful aura suddenly enveloped the place.

Wang Wei frowned slightly, raised his head, and stared at the soul entity that had appeared in the sky at some unknown time. He also felt a deep sense of surprise.

"This energy... it's actually the soul of a being in the second stage of decline between heaven and man. Could it be the guardian spirit left behind by my master to protect this place?"

Hu Juan also frowned slightly, somewhat wary of the other party's position, and felt her body trembling slightly, as if her nascent soul was shattering.

Wang Wei's pupils shrank suddenly. When that soul was suspended in mid-air, it was surrounded by pale golden immortal energy. Although it was only a remnant soul, it carried the unique pressure of a cultivator in the second stage of the Heavenly Decline.

That was a terrifying power capable of directly crushing nascent souls and tearing apart divine souls.

Wang Wei suddenly shielded Hu Juan behind him, and with his hands forming a hand seal, he summoned a long sword covered with star patterns. The sword hummed under the impact of energy.

"Junior sister, step back! The soul strength of this guardian spirit far surpasses that of the Shattered Nirvana; ordinary immortal techniques cannot harm it at all!"

Before he could finish speaking, the guardian spirit transformed into a golden rainbow and swooped down, crushing the air in its path into a solid wall of energy. Wang Wei swung his sword and unleashed three streaks of starlight, but they were shattered by the wall of energy.

He flew backward, his toes barely touching the ground, and the moment his lower back slammed into the rock wall, he suddenly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood essence landed on his longsword and ignited with a ghostly blue flame: "Starfall Technique!"

Countless tiny sparks of light burst forth from the sword tip, crashing into the guardian spirit like a meteor shower.

However, those points of light, powerful enough to pierce through the immortal armor, only caused a ripple when they touched the soul. The guardian spirit raised its hand and grasped, and the longsword in Wang Wei's hand flew out of his hand uncontrollably, breaking into pieces in mid-air.

"puff--"

Wang Wei stared with eyes as big as copper bells, his chest felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the blood that spurted out spread like large red plum blossoms on his clothes. His breath instantly weakened.

"Brother!"

Hu Juan exclaimed and summoned a Water Ripple Mirror. The blue light emanating from the mirror condensed into an ice wall in front of her.

The guardian spirit's fingertip lightly touched the ice wall, and the ice, capable of freezing immortal essence, shattered like glass, shards piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound as they hurtled towards Hu Juan's shoulder. (End of Chapter)
