Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

They searched everywhere and soon found the surviving disciples of Yuheng Peak.

"Where are the enemies? And where is Elder Geng from your Jade Balance Peak?" The newcomer was a powerful cultivator at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm. He was the strongest member of the Supreme Induction Sect stationed in the Tianlan Mountains and came from the Heavenly Dao Peak.

The disciples of Yuheng Peak relaxed completely upon seeing Tai Lin and the others arrive.

"Elder Taiqi, Elder Geng has fallen..." the disciples of Yuheng Peak said with sorrowful faces.

Upon hearing this, Elder Taiqi's expression changed, and he and the other Nascent Soul cultivators who had rushed to provide support all showed expressions of sorrow.

This was the first Nascent Soul cultivator of their Supreme Response Sect to perish in the Tianlan Mountains, a significant blow indeed.

The soul imprint that Geng Minghai left on Yuheng Peak and in the Taishang Ganying Sect shattered immediately, so the Taishang Ganying Sect already knew about it.

"Really? Oh! Could it be that Elder Geng risked his life to kill the enemy?" Taiqi asked doubtfully.

However, the disciples of Yuheng Peak shook their heads.

"Elder Geng killed the opponent's strongest Nascent Soul cultivator by self-destructing. Then, just when the remaining two Nascent Soul cultivators were about to kill us, Lady Xuanmiao arrived. She single-handedly killed both Nascent Soul cultivators and saved us," the Jade Balance Peak disciple explained.

Tai Qi was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Aoxue to have already come.

"Really? So Xuanmiao arrived before us. Where is she?" Taiqi continued to ask.

The disciples of Yuheng Peak immediately shook their heads.

Let's talk about Lin Aoxue. It seems that Lin Aoxue has left the Tianlan Mountains and her whereabouts are unknown.

Another week has passed.

A week later, in the Ghost Domain of the Western Frontier of the Gu God Realm, at the Ghost Gu Sect's headquarters...

The Ghost Gu Sect is a medium-sized sect in the Western Frontier, located in an extremely yin place. The sect is situated in an underground rift valley, a place where the sun never shines.

However, an uninvited guest arrived at the Ghost Gu Sect today. The female cultivator from the Ghost Gu Sect who had been killed by Lin Aoxue not long ago had come back to life and was now standing above the Ghost Gu Sect's headquarters.

She glanced down and saw that the rift valley was filled with howling ghosts and vengeful spirits, all intoxicated by some kind of Gu magic and curse.

Not only that, she could also see that there were many mortals here, imprisoned in various places, and many Ghost Gu Sect cultivators were using methods to extract their souls from their bodies and refine them into Ghost Gu.

"Since they are such a ruthless sect, then they can't blame me." With a flick of her wrist, the mysterious woman produced a gleaming blue sword.

The woman squeezed a drop of blood from her finger and dripped it onto the sword.

"Awaken, Qinghui," the woman murmured.

As soon as these words were spoken, the exquisite sword emitted an extremely dazzling light. When the light faded, the sword disappeared, and in its place appeared a beautiful woman.

This is the spirit of the weapon.

"Master, what are your orders?" The woman in green immediately bowed to the person in front of her.

No need to look anymore, the Ghost Gu Sect woman who was killed in front of us must have been Lin Aoxue in disguise. She impersonated this woman to infiltrate the Gu God Domain, and then followed the location the woman mentioned to arrive at the Western Ghost Domain of the Gu God Domain.

She's incredibly bold; she actually ventured into the Gu God Domain and even ventured deep into the Western Frontier Ghost Domain. This place is three days away from the Tianlan Mountains, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator flying at full speed.

But what is she doing in the Ghost Realm of the Western Frontier? Is she going to destroy the Ghost Gu Sect?

To be honest, Lin Aoxue had no chance of getting here. The Ghost Gu Sect could travel from the far-off Ghost Domain of the Western Frontier to the Southern Frontier to kill people from the Nine Heavens Domain, so why couldn't she come to their sect and wipe them out?

Honestly, if the Five Poisons Sect had killed their Supreme Response Sect cultivators, Lin Aoxue wouldn't be so angry.

When a force from outside the Southern Frontier came to join the fun and even killed one of their Nascent Soul cultivators, Lin Aoxue's first reaction was to wipe out the Ghost Gu Sect. Then, without hesitation, she directly entered the Gu God Domain.

She saw many things along the way. To be honest, although the methods of the Gu God Domain sects were unacceptable to the Nine Heavens Domain, she discovered that this place was not only like this in terms of sect style, but also in terms of ordinary people in the mortal world.

That's just how civilization is.

"Eliminate all the cultivators and ghosts in this place, except for the mortals," Lin Aoxue said ruthlessly.

The spirit of the Qinghui Sword immediately nodded.

After speaking, the sword spirit of the Qinghui Sword flew into the sky and arrived above the rift valley. Then, it raised its hand, and the sword shape of the Qinghui Sword condensed in its hand.

After the sword appeared, an endless storm began to sweep across the world, and a destructive power began to permeate the Ghost Gu Sect.

The experts from the Ghost Gu Sect changed their expressions upon sensing the terrifying power emanating from above.

"Who is this esteemed master who has descended upon the Ghost Gu Sect? If there is anything wrong with our Ghost Gu Sect, please enlighten us, senior." The Ghost Gu Sect immediately activated its protective formation.

Countless souls gathered above the Ghost Gu Sect, forming a barrier. Then, a figure flew out from within the Ghost Gu Sect and landed below Qinghui.

"Heavenly Rank Weapon - Sword Spirit." The newcomer was a gaunt old man. The moment he saw Qinghui, his pupils shrank dramatically.

However, he soon saw Lin Aoxue standing to the side.

"Chiting? Why are you back? Didn't you go to the Southern Frontier?" This person was the leader of the Ghost Gu Sect, so she definitely knew the person Lin Aoxue was impersonating, but she immediately felt something was wrong.

"You're not Chi Ting? Who are you?" the Ghost Gu Sect Master roared.

Lin Aoxue chuckled and then dropped her disguise.

"You're the leader of the Ghost Gu Sect, right? Instead of staying in the Western Ghost Domain, you've gone to the Southern Frontier to kill people from my Nine Heavens Domain. Have you ever thought that others might also come to your Ghost Domain and wipe out your entire Ghost Gu Sect?" Lin Aoxue asked with a smile.

Upon seeing the person before him, the Ghost Gu Sect Master immediately realized that the other party was likely a cultivator from the Nine Heavens Domain. Perhaps someone from their Ghost Gu Sect had killed someone there, incurring the other party's wrath.

But that's no longer important. What's important is that their Ghost Gu Sect is in big trouble.

"What do you want to do? According to the agreement between the Gu Spirit Holy Land and the Nine Heavens Holy Land, cultivators from both regions can go to the borders of Xichuan and Nanling to participate in the confrontation between the two regions. Cultivators from both sides cannot retaliate in the other's area for other reasons. I advise you to take away your magic weapon and leave this place." The Ghost Gu Sect Master said, invoking the agreement of the Holy Land.

But Lin Aoxue didn't care about these ridiculous rules.

"Your words are much better. As long as I wipe out all the people from your Ghost Gu Sect, no one will know that I did it, right? Qinghui, make your move." Lin Aoxue gestured.

As soon as these words were spoken, the spirit of the Qinghui Sword immediately swung its sword shadow, slashing at the Ghost Gu Sect and its leader below.

The next moment, a storm of blue-green energy surged down into the rift valley below.

What appears to be a storm is actually a storm composed entirely of sword light.

"You dare?" The Ghost Gu Sect Master immediately took out a high-grade Earth-rank magic weapon, activated it, and used it to block the descending storm.

However, his magical artifact was instantly shredded into scrap metal the moment it touched Qinghui's power.

"No, the Gu Spirit Holy Land will definitely track you down for your actions." The Ghost Gu Sect Master knew that his sect's doom had arrived when he saw his magic weapon destroyed.

Soon, the Ghost Gu Sect Master was also transformed into a sky full of blood mist by Qinghui's power. Then, a storm surged into the Ghost Gu Sect, and the Ghost Gu Sect's protective formation was shattered. The Ghost Gu Sect disciples and ghosts inside were all killed in an instant.

This storm of sword light avoided all mortals and didn't even destroy the Ghost Gu Sect's buildings; it only killed all the Ghost Gu Sect's cultivators.

The power of a Heaven-rank magic weapon is far beyond what this small Ghost Gu Sect can compare to. To withstand the destructive power of a Heaven-rank magic weapon, you would need to have at least the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm and wield a top-grade Earth-rank magic weapon to have a chance of fighting.

And just like that, the Ghost Gu Sect vanished from the Ghost Realm in an instant.

Lin Aoxue can be truly terrifying when she gets ruthless; she even chased someone to their lair. She's practically a peerless killing god.

This is a classic case of something that has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved. If you do, you deserve to be retaliated against.

What agreement or not? That's purely a matter of other people's mood. There are conflicts of interest between Southern Xinjiang and Nanling. When others fight, it can be said that it has nothing to do with personal hatred, but is purely regional hostility.

But if you Western Frontier cultivators come here to kill people, you're just asking for trouble. At least cultivators from the Nine Heavens Domain, the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Plains, and the Central Continent haven't gone to join the fun.

Chapter 545 Investigation (5000 words)

However, Lin Aoxue's behavior was definitely taboo, since the Tianlan Mountains are a well-known battleground.

It's perfectly reasonable for cultivators to fight here. But just because someone killed your Nascent Soul cultivator, you went to their territory and wiped out their entire family. That's rather unreasonable.

If the Myriad Spirits Domain and the Gu God Domain were also unreasonable, the Divine Continent would have been in chaos long ago.

Of course, Lin Aoxue was also aware of her own limitations, which is why she disguised herself and infiltrated the Gu God Domain.

Moreover, she felt that as long as she wiped out all the people in the Ghost Gu Sect as quickly as possible, who would know that it was her who did it?

Who could have imagined that a cultivator from the Nine Heavens Domain would travel from the Tianlan Mountains to the Western Ghost Domain of the Gu God Domain to destroy a human sect?

Furthermore, to prevent being identified by her power, Lin Aoxue used the power of a Heaven-Rank magic weapon to attack the Ghost Gu Sect, which made her even more deceptive.

Therefore, it's impossible for a normal human being to immediately guess and connect this to her, or rather, it's impossible for anyone to discover it.

However, Lin Aoxue also knew that she hadn't done a completely clean job on this trip, and that she must have left some clues. Moreover, there must still be survivors from the Ghost Gu Sect. When they returned and found out that the Ghost Gu Sect had been wiped out, they would definitely investigate.

If they connect the clues to the Tianlan Mountains, they might guess that it was done by cultivators from their Nine Heavens Domain.

However, Lin Aoxue didn't care about that anymore. She acted impulsively and according to her mood. In any case, she felt no psychological pressure after destroying the Ghost Gu Sect.

To be precise, in Lin Aoxue's view, the sects in the Western Frontier Ghost Domain should not exist; they were all too evil and cruel.

She couldn't understand why the methods of the Gu God Realm were so ruthless.

I originally thought the Five Poisons Sect's methods were ruthless enough, but compared to the methods of the Ghost Realm in the Southern Border, they are nothing.

The sects he saw along the way were either refining ghost gu or corpse gu, and the cultivators here frequently killed mortals.

When Lin Aoxue arrived, she also dealt with many cultivators who attacked mortals, but she understood that this was not something she could change unless the Gu Ling Holy Land issued an order prohibiting cultivators from killing mortals.

After destroying the Ghost Gu Sect, Lin Aoxue did not linger for a moment. She fled at an extremely fast speed, leaving this place and returning to Nanling.

However, just half an hour after Lin Aoxue left, a cultivator at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage of the Ghost Gu Sect led a group of Ghost Gu Sect disciples back to the Ghost Gu Sect, capturing many mortals.

They chatted and laughed all the way, while these mortals were locked in iron cages like livestock.

In the Gu God Realm, there is no regard for humanity; only power matters.

The Gu Spirit Holy Land only restricts the indiscriminate killing of mortals, but does not prohibit attacks on mortals.

But as soon as they returned, they sensed that something was wrong with the sect.

"Strange? Why is the sect so quiet today?" The middle-aged man leading the group frowned as he approached the entrance to their Ghost Gu Sect's territory.

The disciples behind him were equally puzzled, because their Ghost Gu Sect had never been quiet before. After all, there were so many dead souls here, and they were used to hearing their wails. The sect's sudden silence was clearly strange to them.

The Nascent Soul cultivator immediately gave an instruction to the disciple behind him.

"Something might happen, be careful." This middle-aged man's words immediately put his disciples on alert.

They cautiously entered the Ghost Gu Sect, only to find the sect's guards lying on the ground as soon as they arrived at the entrance.

"This? This is bad." The middle-aged man was shocked, and then led his disciples to rush in. But once inside, they found disciples everywhere, their bodies pierced by sword light, dead.

The Ghost Gu Sect had nearly three thousand disciples from top to bottom, but now only about a hundred remain alive, and none of them are from the sect.

The cultivator who returned this time was Gui Sha, the third elder of the Ghost Gu Sect. He had recently led a group of disciples out to capture mortals.

These cultivators from the Ghost Gu Sect were really lucky; because they weren't within the sect, they escaped unscathed.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother." The ghost demon quickly saw the slain Ghost Gu Sect Master. The Ghost Gu Sect Master stared wide-eyed at the sky, looking like he had died with his eyes wide open. He lay in the center of the Ghost Gu Sect, surrounded by fragments of magical treasures.

When Gui Sha saw that his senior brother had been killed and the sect's most treasured artifact had been destroyed, he knew that the newcomer was extremely powerful, probably possessing a cultivation level of at least the seventh level of the Nascent Soul realm, or even stronger.

"Ah...who, who destroyed our Ghost Gu Sect?" After confirming that all his other fellow disciples and fellow disciples had been killed, Ghost Fiend roared to the sky.

This was too sudden. Just a few hours ago, the disciples were laughing and talking. Now, everyone in the sect except for those who had gone out was dead, and they all died in the same way: their bodies and souls were pierced by some kind of force. Not a single disciple survived.

"Third Elder, they're all dead, all dead! Only the captured mortals are still alive and well. It seems they were all killed in one move. The other elders also died in the main hall or in their secluded cultivation areas." The disciples who went to check the situation returned to Gui Sha's side with terrified expressions and reported the situation.

After seeing that the sect leader was dead, Gui Sha naturally did not think that the other disciples could survive.

“Go ask those mortals who didn’t die, ask them what happened to the Ghost Gu Sect, and whether they saw who did it.” Ghost Fiend took a deep breath and then asked.

The surviving disciples nodded, and then hurriedly went over to drive the mortals away one by one.

The Ghost Gu Sect imprisoned thousands of mortals, all of whom arrived before the Ghost Demon with expressions of panic.

"Speak! Who among you witnessed what happened to our Ghost Gu Sect? Who destroyed our Ghost Gu Sect?" Ghost Fiend questioned with a murderous aura.

By then, most of these mortals were imprisoned, and no one saw Lin Aoxue's figure.

"My lord, we... we only saw a blue storm descend from the sky and wreak havoc within the Ghost Gu Sect. Then, in no time, all the immortal masters were killed. Oh, right, I happened to be in a relatively open area at the time, and I saw a woman in blue holding a sword floating in the sky," someone said.

Ghost Demon was taken aback by these words, and then inquired more carefully about the other person's attire and appearance.

"What is this woman dressed like?"

The mortal who saw the Qinghui Sword Spirit gave a general description of what the other party looked like.

"The other party doesn't seem to be from our Gu God Domain," the witness stated.

Upon hearing this, Gui Sha immediately closed his eyes and carefully sensed the energy fluctuations around him.

"This power? Damn it, this is the aura of a wind-attribute celestial-level magic weapon. What the hell? In our Gu God Domain, everyone cultivates incantations and Gu poison techniques. Who cultivates wind-attribute magic power? Could it be the work of a powerful expert from another region?" Ghost Fiend guessed.

He was certain that no sect in their Gu God Domain possessed a Heaven-Rank magic weapon with wind attributes. Furthermore, given that the other party's attire did not resemble that of their Gu God Domain, Gui Sha was almost certain that he was a cultivator from another region.

It's strange that cultivators from other regions came to destroy their Ghost Fiend Sect. If they were dealing with some hypocritical Taoist cultivators, they shouldn't have targeted only the Ghost Fiend Sect. After all, there are many sects in the Western Frontier Ghost Domain that are more ruthless than their Ghost Gu Sect.

Therefore, he felt that this was clearly targeted. Furthermore, if this was done by cultivators from their Gu God Domain, it would be impossible for them to spare the lives of these mortals.
