In just a moment, the two fleeing Nascent Soul cultivators, Han Dongping and Mystic River, slowed down considerably, and eventually, they were frozen solid in mid-air.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow appeared, her expression icy.
In her hand materialized an ice-blue whip.
With a swift crack, the whip struck the two frozen Nascent Souls, shattering them instantly.
jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t even have time to intervene or suggest sparing them.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, having been fiercely attacked by the two earlier, had acted in a rage, swiftly freezing and destroying their Nascent Souls.
“Sigh…”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could only sigh inwardly.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow then turned to them, her expression somewhat apologetic.
“I apologize. I was overwhelmed by anger and couldn’t hold back,” she explained.
What else could Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan say?
He could only smile and shake his head, “There’s no need to apologize, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow. We initially intended to interrogate them about their background and any potential accomplices.
Now that they have been killed by you, so be it. It’s nothing.”
Although Perfected Lord Flowing Snow had a cold personality, she was not a fool and was not the kind of person who did not understand the ways of the world.
She knew that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan said that out of respect for her.
The apology on her face deepened.
At the same time, she was even more grateful to the two of them.
She said again, “No matter what, I owe you both a great debt for your assistance today.
Should you ever require my help, do not hesitate to ask.”
Jiang Chengxuan politely acknowledged her gratitude and then inquired about the backgrounds of Han Dongping and Mystic River.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow pondered before answering. “Han Dongping was the ancestor of the Han family in the state of Kang, and Mystic River was a well-known Nascent Soul independent cultivator from our Northern Border.
Their characters are unclear to me, but I know they once joined forces with other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Northern Border to fight against demon cultivators.”
At that point, a complex expression crossed her face as she continued, “What I never expected was that these two, who once stood against demonic cultivators alongside us, would themselves fall into the demonic path.
It’s really…”
At the end, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow could not help but shake her head gently.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged glances.
The doubt that the two of them had in their hearts from the start intensified.
They then examined the storage rings left behind by Han Dongping and Mystic River.
After removing all the Dharmic power restrictions, they quickly opened the two storage rings.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow watched silently, sensing that Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were looking for something more than just loot.
She only felt that the couple probably had other motives for choosing to open the two storage rings at this moment.
Upon opening the rings, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions shifted subtly. In their hands appeared two rainbow jade slips.
“These are?” Perfected Lord Flowing Snow expressed her curiosity.
But Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked grave.
Jiang Chengxuan placed one of the jade slips against his forehead.
Instantly, the rainbow jade slip turned pitch black, emitting dense demonic Qi, trying to invade his sea of consciousness.
With a cold snort, Jiang Chengxuan activated the Vast Heaven Divine Jade in his sea of consciousness.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
When the demonic Qi was shone on by Jiang Chengxuan’s Vast Heaven Divine Jade, it was immediately evaporated into nothingness like snow meeting a blazing sun.
“Ah! Roar!”
Anguished screams emerged from the jade slip.
Jiang Chengxuan’s expression turned cold.
He produced a strand of Sun True Fire in his hand, applying it to the now black jade slip.
When the Sun True Fire landed on the jade slip that had already turned pitch-black, it was like boiling water falling into a pot of oil. The entire jade slip immediately emitted a crackling sound as it was burned violently.
At the same time, the roars and screams inside became more and more intense.
It made Jiang Chengxuan and the other two feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this did not last long.
In less than a few breaths, the entire jade slip was reduced to ashes by Jiang Chengxuan’s True Sun Fire.
When she saw that, shock appeared on Perfected Lord Flowing Snow’s face.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and finally couldn’t help but say,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, what was that…?”
“Huh?”
Before she could finish, the rainbow jade slip in Shen Ruyan’s hand began to shake violently, as if it was about to escape her control.
Shen Ruyan snorted.
In the next moment, endless lightning began to dance in her palm.
Crackle—
A moment later, a scream suddenly sounded from the rainbow jade slip.
Then, with a bang, the entire jade slip turned into black powder and dissipated.
The three of them looked at each other.
Shen Ruyan said, “If I’m not wrong, the reason why Han Dongping and Mystic River fell into the demonic path is probably related to the jade slip in their storage rings.
Their minds have probably been completely devoured by the demonic intent in the jade slip.”
Her voice turned solemn as she added, “What’s most concerning is that we were unaware of their demonic nature before they revealed themselves.
Even Perfected Lord Xuan Yang did not seem to notice it back then.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Perfected Lord Flowing Snow clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow suddenly thought of something and her expression changed slightly.
“Could it be that Perfected Lord Jiu Li and Perfected Lord Shang Long fell into the demonic path because of this too?”
“Mm? Perfected Lord Jiu Li and Perfected Lord Shang Long?”
Hearing Perfected Lord Flowing Snow’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan could not help but look at her in confusion.
Obviously, the couple didn’t know the two people she mentioned.
Thus, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow explained that the two she mentioned had fallen into the demonic path for some reason like Han Dongping and Mystic River.
From the looks of it, they should have been affected by the same thing as Han Dongping and Mystic River.
However, they did not know how many Nascent Soul Perfected Lords in the entire northern border had encountered the same thing.
If this number was huge…
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Perfected Lord Flowing Snow couldn’t bring themselves to imagine the consequence.
The three of them clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Immediately, Perfected Lord Flowing Snow looked at the two of them and said, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, this matter is of utmost importance. I implore the two of you to return to the Hidden Sword Palace with me and inform Perfected Lord Xuan Yang about this.
With his knowledge and experience, he should know what is going on.
Even if he doesn’t know, with his relationship with Heavenly Lords, he can surely find out. What do the two of you think?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not reject Perfected Lord Flowing Snow’s suggestion.
At that moment, the three of them cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the Hidden Sword Palace..
