Chapter 180

"Just like you, when you entered the sect, I left a trace of your soul power to make soul tablets."

"If you are unfortunately killed, with the help of the soul tablet, at least the last trace of your true spirit can be preserved, and you can refine a new body to recultivate in the future."

"And I can also go to suppress the enemy and avenge you based on the feedback from the soul tablet."

"But if your souls are destroyed, the soul tablet will shatter immediately, and by then, even I will find it difficult to know who killed you."

"This is a method that large forces in the cultivation world all have, but it is generally only used for genius disciples."

"Therefore, when walking in the cultivation world in the future, once you have a feud, don't hesitate, and don't have any psychological burden."

"If he doesn't die and his Dao doesn't vanish, you will be in danger."

"Abandon womanly kindness; since you have decided to kill, you must cut the weeds and dig up the roots."

"The cultivation world is never merciful; if your heart isn't ruthless, you won't be able to make a name for yourself in the cultivation world."

Everyone listened in a daze; this was the first time the always gentle Jiang Yan had said such cold-blooded and cruel words to them.

Xiao asked himself, even though he had dealt with all kinds of evil people for so many years, but in terms of souls...

He really couldn't do such a vicious thing.

Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, but to scatter someone's soul...

"You are just entering the cultivation world now, and there are many things you don't understand, but every word I say is a truth verified by blood."

Jiang Yan looked at them seriously and said in a deep voice:

"Back then, when I reached the early stage of Qi Refining into Spirit, I left Shushan to train."

"I met a strong enemy on the road, and after killing him, I also missed the opportunity to destroy his soul due to a moment of hesitation."

"After that, I was hunted down by the Changbei Sect for three months, and in the end, it was the Dharma Protector Elder who helped me solve the problem."

"Since then, I have understood that in the cultivation world, one should not easily form feuds with others, but once a feud is formed, no matter what, cut the weeds and dig up the roots."

"Perhaps you still don't understand now, but it doesn't matter; you will understand in the future."

"Your accidental negligence is destined to become a choice you will regret for the rest of your life."

Everyone nodded, and their hearts also temporarily accepted this cruel fact.

But such things were still very far away from them.

For a short time, they still couldn't leave Teyvat.

Suddenly, the originally mild climate took a sharp turn for the worse.

Bone-chilling coldness turned into waves that clamored through the jungle and the firmament.

The area where the three-headed demonic bird was originally located was instantly frozen, and even the soil was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Lisa reached out and caught a snowflake; the cool feeling made her spirit perk up slightly.

"The environment of the Nine Nether Secret Realm is truly magical; it was sunny just now, and now it's suddenly snowing?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan sighed helplessly.

"Snowing? It's the Snow Hou that has come..."

"What?!!"

Everyone was shocked and looked up; far away, centered on the area where the three-headed demonic bird was located.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, it was instantly a world of ice and snow.

Before even appearing, it displayed such heavenly might.

This Snow Hou was far stronger than they had expected!

111. The true battle of the Demon Kings that shocked the Teyvat disciples

"Quick! Set up the formation! Xiaoyue! Hurry up and take out your formation disk!"

With disaster imminent, Venti didn't care about joking and hurriedly urged Xiaoyue.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan felt a headache again and said:

"Don't move!"

"No one is allowed to mobilize true essence, no one is allowed to expose their aura!"

"The Snow Hou is a genuine ten-thousand-year Demon King, with an incredibly refined strength, just one step away from reaching Spirit Refining into Void."

"If you use even a trace of true essence now, he will be able to detect it."

Hearing this, Venti and Xiaoyue's movements paused, and everyone held their breath, looking nervously at the distant sky.

Now, they could really only pray that the opponent hadn't discovered them.

Perhaps because their eyesight was excellent after cultivating, in an instant, a small black dot suddenly appeared in that distant place.

Staring intently, a young man with a body like snow and an eerie appearance appeared, his long hair like a waterfall covered in snowflakes.

It was white to the extreme.

The opponent stared downward for a moment, then suddenly spoke, his voice spreading throughout the entire ice-covered area.

"Shushan people? After several hundred years, I've smelled your scent again; it's truly as disgusting as ever..."

The Snow Hou looked up at the sky, his tone calm yet revealing bone-chilling killing intent.

"Such obvious traces of true essence; it seems that those sanctimonious people in Shushan didn't teach you how to act in the Nine Nether with care."

"Come out; I can give you a quick death."

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Zhongli's forehead.

Even at such a great distance, it had already made him feel a trace of a fatal threat.

Unable to resist.

That was a power as strong as heaven's might.

The Martial God, who had always been invincible in Teyvat, felt such a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time when facing an enemy.

"Sect Master."

Ganyu called Jiang Yan in a low voice.

"No need to pay attention."

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"He is bluffing you; as long as you don't reveal your true essence, he won't be able to detect it."

"The aura of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is mixed; even if he were at the peak of Qi Refining into Spirit, it would be impossible for him to carefully sense everything one by one."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the Snow Hou in the distance, they still felt a tremor from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the strongest existence they had ever seen.

Jiang Yan, of course, was not included.

Although he was in the late stage of Spirit Refining into Void, Jiang Yan had never been seen taking action, and his aura was gentle.

Although occasionally when cultivating, he would reveal that trace of weak aura, it also made everyone feel like they were facing a world, much stronger than the Snow Hou.

But Jiang Yan had never been truly serious.

Right now, this Snow Hou was at full strength, and the pressure it gave them was not just a little bit.

Zhongli estimated it in his heart.

If his Clear Source Wonderful Method Manifestation Curse were perfected, Venti's Wine God Art were perfected, and Alice's Separation and Union Divine Light were perfected.

The three of them cooperating tacitly, they could probably hold out for a while.

But it would only be for a while...

The final result would still be death.

As for now...

With their unskilled spells, if they faced it, they would probably be gone in an instant.

The opponent's aura was too terrifying.

"Sect Master, what should we do?"

Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan with some worry, and the latter shook his head:

"This is your exploration; you can't always rely on me, otherwise how will you grow? What do you think should be done?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Ningguang said in a low voice:

"The only plan now is to wait..."

"Wait? Wait for the opponent to find us and kill us?"

Immortal Liuyun asked back with some anxiety.

This exploration today was truly unlucky to the extreme.

It was hard enough to find a high-quality spiritual fruit after entering, but the one guarding it turned out to be a personal guard of the Snow Hou King, one of the Seven Kings of Nine Nether.
