I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 323 - 189: Forced to Use Female Cultivators 2
Chapter 323: Chapter 189: Forced to Use Female Cultivators 2
Even self-detonation is impossible!
In an instant, Qi Yuan looked at the four women with a bit of despair.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, a shadow flashed by.
“Bang!” One of the women suddenly erupted in golden light.
A phantom image appeared abruptly.
“How dare you kill my servant, I will tear you to pieces and scatter your soul!”
“Young Master, thank you for saving my life!” The woman attacked by the shadow hurriedly bowed respectfully to the phantom after being protected by the golden light.
The phantom was Shangguan Liuyun.
It was a protective talisman specially crafted for him by powerful figures within his clan.
Each of the four maids had one. In a life-or-death crisis, it automatically protected the master, releasing a Golden Core Peak mana shield stored by Shangguan Liuyun.
Immediately, the four women turned sharply, glaring furiously at the shadow.
The protective gold talisman given by Shangguan Liuyun was extremely precious to them, and they would rather face death than waste it.
Yet the puppet before them had destroyed one of such precious talismans!
“You deserve death!” The woman glared angrily at the puppet, finally turning her furious gaze on Qi Yuan.
She assumed the puppet belonged to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan’s face showed confusion, never imagining a puppet would appear out of nowhere, and its power seemed extraordinary.
She had never seen such a puppet before.
Meanwhile, Shangguan Liuyun was awakened again from his cultivation.
A sliver of his Divine Sense dissipated in his Sea of Consciousness, this portion of Divine Sense was the life-saving entity he had stored in the protective talisman he granted to “Liu.”
“To think they have the strength to slay my servant? This is getting more interesting!”
——
The four women felt murderous intent toward Qi Yuan, but they couldn’t quite discern the strength of the Ghost Shadow Puppet, their Divine Sense unable to probe it.
However, from the power of that earlier deadly attack, it was clear that this puppet was not simple.
But before they could come up with a plan to attack together,
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three more puppets suddenly surged from the sea, forming a surrounding formation, encapsulating the four of them!
Upon closely examining these three puppets, they all changed in complexion.
The Ghost Shadow was shielded from Divine Sense detection by the Ghost Shadow Cold Gold and revealed no presence for assassination.
However, these three had not concealed their aura, for a moment, the presence of the three quasi-fourth-tier puppets exploded, causing the hearts of the four women to race.
“Who exactly are you?” The four women looked at Qi Yuan with some fear.
Qi Yuan was equally shocked, unsure whether these high-tier puppets were friend or foe.
Yet outwardly, she maintained a slight smile: “Hehe~ As a junior with shallow cultivation and low status, I don’t have the power to own such puppets!”
“Hmph, demon girl, don’t be arrogant. My young master knows we are in danger and will soon come to rescue us. At that time, he will imprison your soul, allowing the world to disgrace you to death!” The four women seemed a bit panicked, resorting to invoking Shangguan Liuyun for intimidation.
“Shangguan Liuyun has slain many warriors of the Righteous Army, I have an unending enmity with him!” Qi Yuan said with hatred.
“How dare you!” The four women shouted in unison and advanced towards Qi Yuan together.
However, before they could come close, the four puppets all moved.
Each puppet was a quasi-fourth-tier and had unique Divine Abilities enhanced by demon pills.
They faced these women, who relied on external power to forcibly elevate to the Late Stage of Core Formation, with ease.
Moreover, Guagua occasionally attacked from the ocean floor,
In just a hundred or so moves, three women perished, their souls extinguished, and their storage bags were swiftly devoured by Guagua, while the remaining one had her dantian shattered, Divine Soul confined, and was swallowed whole by Guagua.
Until this moment, Qi Yuan still couldn’t discern whether the four puppets and sea beast were friend or foe.
Yet after their success, the four puppets did not linger, quickly diving into the ocean depths and disappearing.
And the demon beast, carrying the last woman, fled toward the Five Elders Association’s Sea Domain.
“Thank you for saving my life, senior!” Qi Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that they were there to save her.
She hesitated for a moment, finally gritting her teeth and flying towards the Five Elders Association’s Sea Domain.
——
“Bang!”
In just half a month, Shangguan Liuyun was shocked awake from cultivation for the fourth time.
And this time, he was furious!
Savagely, a burst of magical power shot out from his eyes, shattering the stone pavilion before him.
“Daring to kill my maid!”
“Courting death!”
Though the four maids were of little importance to him, being killed by others was a slap to his face.
The main thing was, when the first maid met a fatal blow, his phantom had already appeared and given a warning.
In such a situation, the other party still showed no restraint.
This was clearly not putting him in their eyes!
He no longer practiced cultivation, got up, and left the courtyard. After slightly confirming the direction, he soared straight up to the Fourth Heaven!
——
At the spring under the main island, Li Jizhou pressed one hand on the maid’s forehead, forcibly soul searching.
“Bang!”
However, just as Li Jizhou’s divine sense stabbed into her sea of consciousness, a soft sound was heard.
Her sea of consciousness instantly shattered.
Indeed, there was a restriction in the sea of consciousness to prevent soul searching by others.
Li Jizhou had anticipated this, so he immediately instructed Bai Yi to burn her entire sea of consciousness clean with the Flame of Burning Soul.
A transcendent power like the Immortal Race from Shangguan wouldn’t possibly make a mistake in this aspect, since they housed too many secrets.
Moreover, a close maid knew too much, making restrictions in the sea of consciousness almost a necessary measure.
Li Jizhou had anticipated this, so he had already stored her aura, blood essence, and divine soul with his annual ring.
Now, her sea of consciousness was shattered, and he could only read the memory fragments stored in the annual ring.
Memory fragments are just the most important memory nodes in her heart, not very comprehensive.
However, based on previous experience, they generally contain key matters.
Yet, as Li Jizhou browsed through thirty percent of her memory fragments, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.
Most of her memory fragments were about Shangguan Liuyun.
And all were filled with intense love.
They made Li Jizhou’s eyes sting.
Enduring discomfort, he quickly finished reading her memory fragments,
Finally, he found some useful information.
Six months ago, Shangguan Liuyun somehow learned about Jiang Li’s Water Spirit Body, and as the jade nectar within her was about to consolidate, he captured her.
Jiang Li then swore to resist to the death.
So Shangguan Liuyun dispatched four women here to threaten Jiang Li by massacring the island’s residents.
Ultimately, Jiang Li decided not to seek death anymore, willing to let Shangguan Liuyun harvest her once the jade nectar was fully consolidated.
However, the four women still massacred the island.
Of course, Jiang Li remains unaware of this outcome and is now confined at the Yan Kingdom Business Alliance headquarters, waiting for the jade nectar to solidify.
Upon reading this information, Li Jizhou’s expression grew solemn.
Jiang Li being taken by Shangguan Liuyun to the Business Alliance headquarters stirred thoughts in him, but to no avail.
Determining the maid was no longer valuable, Li Jizhou instructed Bai Yi to incinerate her thoroughly.
“No wonder Shangguan Immortal Race is so wealthy, even this maid is so affluent!”
While sorting through the storage bag, the wealth of the four women astonished Li Jizhou.
A full ten thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
There were even three Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
Such a great harvest somewhat eased Li Jizhou’s growing unease with the increasingly deep karmic ties with Shangguan Liuyun.
Having dealt with everything, Li Jizhou gazed towards the center of Yan Kingdom,
where the Business Alliance headquarters was in the past, now the residence of Shangguan Liuyun, and the place where Jiang Li is imprisoned.
—–
Qi Yuan flew over the islands in the Sea Domain of the Five Elders Association,
Seeing the island’s tragic state, her heart suddenly clenched.
Recalling the communications with Jiang Li over the years, the love Jiang Li had for the island’s inhabitants made her even more heartbroken for Jiang Li!
“Those beasts!”
Qi Yuan’s fury surged, her dantian’s innate spiritual artifact, a profound iron rod, suddenly flew out. Holding the rod in one hand, she fiercely stabbed towards the depths of the sea.
Boom——
Li Jizhou’s mind was already gloomy, too much fear and hatred towards Shangguan Liuyun.
Yet at that moment, Qi Yuan’s massive rod suddenly struck down, causing his array to sway chaotically.
Although it would hardly cause any damage, the previously troubled heart now felt even more restless.
“May Qi Daoist Friend come down for a meeting!” he directly transmitted to Qi Yuan above.
“Huh?” The unexpected transmission into her sea of consciousness made Qi Yuan suddenly pause.
Just now while flying here, she had scanned the area with her late stage Core Formation divine sense, finding no living aura whatsoever.
Even the Demon Beast that had saved her was nowhere to be seen.
So she had vented recklessly.
Unexpectedly, there was a great master below?
And the voice seemed… very familiar!
