Chapter 58: Sacred Attribute Martial Soul

"The friend you speak of, surely it isn't yourself?" Xiadie picked up the teacup in front of her and took a strategic sip, "There are no outsiders here; you may speak freely."

"Uh..."

Shangguan Wei'er was stunned.

"Pfft~"

Wang Xian'er, at Xiadie's side, also began to laugh; after realizing it, she covered her mouth without a trace.

"That isn't me." Shangguan Wei'er was somewhat frozen, "She is my disciple."

"Er! In any case, that is how it is." Shangguan Wei'er covered her forehead, having accidentally spoken her inner thoughts.

She had not expected the conversation with Xiadie to be so illogical, and for a moment, her brain could not process it.

"A disciple, huh!"

Xiadie's eyelids flickered.

"The kind who hates evil as if it were a personal enemy and slaughters Evil Soul Masters without mercy?"

"Is it not a bit subtle for Alliance Leader Shangguan to come seeking answers from us?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wei'er sighed:

"Evil Soul Masters killed that child's parents. Given her own martial soul, if she doesn't change her personality soon, something terrible will happen one day."

"The vengeance for one's parents is irreconcilable; even as a master, one shouldn't interfere."

Wang Xian'er nodded, somewhat failing to understand Shangguan Wei'er's worry.

"Theoretically, I am not really her master either," Shangguan Wei'er sighed, "She joined my Pingfan Alliance about a year ago."

"I feel she can inherit my mantle. Don't look at me like this; I am not young."

Xiadie had a subtle expression, her wrist propping up her cheek as she looked Shangguan Wei'er up and down.

"Alliance Leader Shangguan, you mainly operate pleasure houses, right?"

"That place, not to mention how glamorous it may be, also tends to harbor filth."

"What were you thinking, letting someone who hates evil as a personal enemy inherit your mantle?"

"Could it be the legendary act of dragging a good woman into the mud, or persuading a woman of the night to turn over a new leaf, wanting to create a sense of contrast to make the Pingfan Alliance's reputation soar?"

"Pfft~ cough, cough, cough."

Wang Xian'er, having just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it out and coughed repeatedly, turning her head to look at Xiadie with a subtle expression.

"Miss, you..." Seeing the faint smile hooked at the corner of Xiadie's mouth, yet her expression was incomparably calm, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

It was just that Wang Xian'er felt she was getting old and couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the "youngsters."

After all, Xiadie didn't look old; no, it should be said she was indeed not old.

It wasn't just Wang Xian'er; even Shangguan Wei'er was full of astonishment, taking a long while to come back to her senses.

"Miss Xiadie's words are truly witty." Shangguan Wei'er shook her head with a smile, "If you went to write novels, perhaps they would be bestsellers."

"However, I do not have such thoughts."

Wang Xian'er dared not treat Xiadie, who could toy with a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, as a child; in her dialogue with Xiadie, she always felt she could be seen through completely.

"War breeds orphans."

"I, Shangguan Wei'er, am indeed not a good person, but I gave those children a home. At least, I am not black to that extent."

"A world of comparing who is worse!" Xiadie's gaze was deep, and she did not offer much commentary.

In the end, she was not a child either; having experienced so many reincarnations, she had seen and witnessed far too much.

She had seen the steadfastness of living beings toward love, kinship, and friendship, and she had also seen situations where they flew apart when disaster struck.

In the reincarnation, she saw many things.

For instance, a certain Sun-Thunder Knight, this NPC of Wengfaluosi, overthrew Caesar's rule and, joining hands with the Earth Titan, successfully unified the reincarnation of Wengfaluosi.

Or perhaps that Ke Xia abandoned academics, threw herself into the martial path, led the Xuanfeng City army to launch an attack on the God-Enlightenment Tree Court, and uttered the famous saying—"My lord, the era has changed."

Or perhaps, the Trickery Demigod Saifeier, who became the Lüfa Banshen, and so on.

In the Eternal Reincarnation, all kinds of accidents happened from time to time.

Relying on the butterfly effect that already existed in the Eternal Reincarnation, as well as Zandaer's arrogance.

Only then could Xiadie avoid Zandaer's gaze in every reincarnation and complete the 33,550,336th completion of herself.

She never lacked patience, nor would she let her evaluation of certain things carry deliberate subjective color.

Perhaps, this was also a kind of arrogance, who knows.

Xiadie shook her head to pull her thoughts back, her fingertips tapping lightly on the tabletop.

"Alliance Leader Shangguan, that disciple of yours is either a Sacred Attribute or a Bright Attribute Soul Master, right?"

"Exiling her to other countries was just to let her see the turbidity of the world?"

"This..."

Shangguan Wei'er was silent.

She had initially only wanted to probe Xiadie and Wang Xian'er's views on certain martial souls, but she hadn't expected that after a few sentences, she had been seen through to her very core.

"Sacred Attribute." Xiadie extended a finger, "The first time we met you, we sensed a very pure sacred aura."

"Mm, the purification power against so-called Evil Soul Masters is quite bright and clear!"

"Y-yes." Shangguan Wei'er lowered her head, a flash of horror in her expression.

No, is this a dog?

When she returned to the Sun Moon Empire, she had rushed back from the Heaven Soul Empire to meet her disciple, but it had been so many days, and she could still sense the soul power aura?

That child hadn't used her martial soul in front of her.

How was this sensed?

Shangguan Wei'er's lips trembled; the more she thought, the more she felt Xiadie was mysterious.

"You need not worry," Xiadie smiled, "Death, life, sacred, light—these are merely variations of energy."

"My teacher possesses both death and sacred attributes simultaneously."

"I am different from her; I am of the death and life-leaning elements, much like Wang Lao."

"Actually, you can set your heart at ease," Xiadie paused, "I have sensed the sacred aura on your body; that level of sacred energy will not affect Wang Lao or me."

"Is... is that so?" Shangguan Wei'er raised her head in surprise, "Isn't it said that the sacred element has a purifying effect on Evil Soul Masters?"

"Pfft!" Xiadie laughed, "My lady, what do you think an Evil Soul Master is?"

Before Shangguan Wei'er could speak, Xiadie continued:

"The Evil Soul Masters you define are simply those who cannot master this power, leading to instability that requires external conditions to supplement."

"Furthermore, that instability usually affects one's personality."

"Do I, or does Wang Lao, seem that way?" Xiadie countered.

This touched upon a blind spot in Shangguan Wei'er's knowledge, and her face was filled with a bewildered expression.

"Power exists in mutual generation and restriction," Xiadie shook her head and continued,

"For example, death and life are inherently in a relationship of mutual generation and restriction."

"From the moment a living being is born, it moves toward death, like an hourglass flowing to the other side."

"However, life and death also mutually restrain one another."

"An existence with powerful vitality approaching an undead will have that powerful vitality swallow the undead's death aura in a short time."

"Conversely, the same is true."

"Unless you can completely master them."

"Wang Lao is exactly like that," Xiadie said, her gaze falling upon Wang Xian'er.

"You flatter me, Miss!"

Wang Xian'er immediately stood up.

She dared not accept such praise; if it weren't for Xiadie using her Spirit Power to guide the vitality of the Life Gold to supplement the necessary conditions for coexistence, she would have been unable to control two mutually generating and restricting powers at once.

After some conversation, Shangguan Wei'er left.

Watching the figure leave the formation, Wang Xian'er frowned: "What exactly did she come here for?"

"I'm afraid she wants to avenge her disciple, and this enemy is very likely in the Holy Spirit Cult."

"It is possible that the one who killed Ye Guyi's parents is a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"In that stack of information, it is possible that a portion is intelligence she gathered on the murderer of Ye Guyi's parents."

"Is that so?" Wang Xian'er pondered,

"Why do I feel she is just afraid we will finish off her disciple? A Soul Master with a Sacred Angel Martial Soul—I wonder what kind of child she is."

Xiadie tapped her forehead: "I almost forgot, Wang Lao's martial soul is also an angel."

"It is different," Wang Xian'er shook her head, "I awakened the Healing Angel; the child Shangguan Wei'er spoke of likely has a family inheritance."

Wang Xian'er looked at Xiadie, sizing her up, her expression tightening: "Miss, are you Level 30?"
