Chapter 1315: Betrayal and Abandonment
Translator: CinderTL
Jian Xiao’s expression was grim as his fingers danced, rapidly forming a series of magic seals.
His flying sword surged with power, its blade glowing with blinding intensity, like a miniature sun blazing in the sky.
Clang!
The sword struck the black barrier, emitting a crisp, ringing sound.
The barrier flickered violently but remained unbroken.
Wei Gu crossed his arms, his expression leisurely.
"Jian Xiao, this formation is the Nine Yin Corpse Fiend Formation. It’s nearly impossible for cultivators in the Body Integration Stage to breach. But I have a plan to help you break it. Simply unleash the full power of your Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure with a single strike, and it will shatter the barrier. However..."
Wei Gu drew out the word, a playful smile spreading across his face.
"Unleashing the full power of a Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure will completely drain your spiritual power. At that moment, will your four fellow daoists beside you fight to protect you, or will they turn against you and strike you down first? That remains to be seen."
A cold glint flashed in Jian Xiao’s eyes as he retorted angrily, "Wei Gu, you judge others by your own twisted standards! We orthodox cultivators would never stoop to the petty suspicions of you demonic cultivators!"
"Oh, really?" Wei Gu said. "Fellow Daoists Fan Kang, Ying Wu, Xuan Feng, and Ye Nan, it seems Fellow Daoist Jian Xiao doesn’t trust you much. He clearly has the means to break the formation, yet he’s concealing them. Could it be he’s wary of you?"
Jian Xiao gritted his teeth. "Wei Gu, stop trying to sow discord!"
Wei Gu ignored Jian Xiao and continued.
"Fellow Daoist Ying Wu, if you withdraw now, I promise to deliver the Beauty Serpent to you within a year."
"Fellow Daoist Fan Kang, the Six Fiends Hall has no industries of its own. Our disciples require vast cultivation resources, but only a small portion is provided by the sect. The rest must be purchased externally. If you cease hostilities with the Six Fiends Hall, we will source all these resources from you from now on."
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Feng, the death of your younger brother has nothing to do with the Six Fiends Hall. To ensure his spirit finds peace, you should seek the true culprit. If you need any assistance from the Six Fiends Hall, don’t hesitate to ask. Finding the real killer will also clear the Six Fiends Hall of false accusations."
"Fellow Daoist Ye Nan, as a rogue cultivator, it’s best not to meddle in the grudges between major powers. Furthermore, the doors of the Six Fiends Hall are always open to you. With a nod, you could become our Vice Hall Master at any time. If you find the Six Fiends Hall beneath you, I can recommend you to the Divine Blood Gate in Azure Wutong Province, where you could become a Sect Elder."
Wei Gu’s words targeted four individuals who had yet to declare their stance. Jian Xiao, burning with anxiety, couldn’t allow Wei Gu to continue swaying hearts.
"Fellow Daoist Fan Kang, you excel in formations. Please dismantle the Nine Yin Corpse Fiend Formation."
"This formation is profound," Fan Kang replied slowly, neither refusing nor agreeing. "Even an old man like me would need to exert considerable effort to break it."
"You..." Wei Gu glared, but dared not confront Fan Kang directly.
"I’ll break the formation!" Ying Wu’s voice suddenly rang out.
She slapped a gray cloth pouch at her waist, and instantly, a bizarre monster materialized.
The creature stood over three hundred meters tall, resembling an upright ape.
Yet it had no hands. Its left arm was a thick tentacle ending in a suction cup, within which lay a mouth bristling with sharp teeth.
Its right arm was a massive, razor-sharp spider leg, curved like a long, hooked spear.
Most bizarrely, the creature’s neck extended upward into a serpentine body, roughly thirty meters long, topped by an enormous snake head.
Its flesh appeared to be pieced together from various demon beasts, with twisted, gaping seams oozing yellow fluid. Yet despite this grotesque patchwork, it moved with astonishing agility, showing no signs of clumsiness or sluggishness.
The monster leaped down, landing atop the barrier.
It unleashed a furious barrage of attacks, striking left and right like a tempestuous storm.
Its tentacle struck with crushing force, while the spider leg slashed with swift, deadly precision.
Under the monster’s onslaught, the barrier flickered erratically, its light dimming and brightening in rapid succession.
Wei Gu’s previously relaxed expression instantly turned grave.
"Ying Wu, I swear upon my divine soul, before the Heavenly Dao, that within one year, I will find you a Beauty Serpent. If I fail, may my primordial spirit be utterly destroyed, and may I be condemned to eternal damnation in the deepest abyss!"
As soon as the words left his lips, the monster abruptly ceased its attack.
Ying Wu’s beautiful face remained cold as ice.
"Wei Gu, you had better remember your oath. If you break it, even if the Heavenly Dao spares your soul, I will ensure you die without a burial. I have eight more monsters like this one. Their combined power can shatter your formation in an instant."
After speaking, Ying Wu turned and flew toward the edge of the Primordial Qi Death Zone, not even bothering to exchange another word with Jian Xiao and the others.
Jian Xiao’s expression darkened. Ying Wu, his fellow disciple, had abandoned him so readily.
Before Jian Xiao could speak, Fan Kang interjected, "Wei Gu, I accept the terms you proposed earlier. Rest assured, I will offer you a fair price for all your cultivation resources."
With that, Fan Kang hurried after Ying Wu. "Fellow Daoist Ying Wu, wait for me!"
Xuan Feng glanced at Wei Gu within the black barrier, then at Jian Xiao and Ye Nan. Her eyes flickered as she slowly retreated. "Wei Gu, I will thoroughly investigate Xuan Qu’s death. I hope you truly had nothing to do with it. Otherwise, I will return to settle accounts."
Jian Xiao watched the departing figures, his face so dark it seemed to drip with malice.
Ying Wu was the most detestable, abandoning him without a shred of consideration for their fellow disciple bond. Fan Kang had wavered earlier, but Ying Wu’s influence had solidified his resolve. As for Xuan Feng, she had simply fled when the situation turned against them.
With the three cultivators gone, only Jian Xiao and Ye Nan remained.
Ye Nan, a rogue cultivator with only mid-Body Integration Stage cultivation, likely couldn’t even defeat Gong Tianzong, let alone help Jian Xiao against Wei Gu, a core disciple of the Divine Blood Gate.
"Fellow Daoist Ye," Jian Xiao said, "if you assist me in eliminating the Six Fiends Hall, I will personally present you with the Seven Kill Sword Manual, as promised. Furthermore, I will also bestow upon you the Myriad Swords Pavilion’s most closely guarded secret—the Great Void Rainbow Transformation Manual."
"Truly?" Ye Nan’s eyes lit up.
"Every word is true," Jian Xiao assured him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye," Wei Gu’s voice echoed ominously, "even the greatest secret art is useless if you lack the life to claim it."
Ye Nan ignored Wei Gu’s words. With a swift movement, he soared toward the barrier’s apex.
Simultaneously, several sword beams erupted from his body, slashing down at the barrier like falling stars.
His figure didn’t pause for a moment, instead, he directly pierced through the barrier and vanished into the distant, Primordial Qi-rich sky.
However, his escape route differed from Ying Wu and the others, clearly indicating his distrust of them.
Jian Xiao’s expression darkened slightly, a flicker of anger flashing in his eyes. Without lingering, he withdrew and retreated.
He had considered fleeing when Xuan Feng departed, but fearing Wei Gu’s pursuit, he had hoped to use Ye Nan as a distraction. To his surprise, Ye Nan had escaped even faster than he had.
Wei Gu watched Jian Xiao’s retreating figure, his eyes growing colder, yet he didn’t immediately give chase. Instead, he summoned the Black Wolf Void Demon. After a brief exchange, a cruel grin spread across his face, and he erupted into wild laughter.
"Ying Wu and the others have already fled over ten thousand miles. It seems they’re truly gone!"
"Hahahaha... You schemed so meticulously, yet you never imagined you’d end up abandoned by everyone!"
