Chapter 274: Enemies from the Xuanyin Sect

"Oh, I wonder what advice the three fellow Daoists have for me?"

Facing the pressure from the three Nascent Soul Cultivators, Chu Dieyi had no choice but to stop.

However, she did not show any expression of panic, remaining neither haughty nor humble.

"This old man only wants to ask you one thing."

"That is, does the death of my son, Qi Yongqing, have anything to do with you?"

The Nascent Soul Cultivator Qi Heng stared fixedly at Chu Dieyi.

Although not many people knew about his son Qi Yongqing's scheme to capture Chu Dieyi, some cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect who disliked Chu Dieyi had leaked the matter.

Even if there was no conclusive evidence.

It was enough to prove that his son had indeed been in contact with Chu Dieyi before he died.

Even his son's death must surely have a great deal to do with this woman.

He did not need any evidence at all.

As long as there was suspicion, he could step forward and press for answers.

"Of course it has nothing to do with me."

"I have not even met your son, Qi Yongqing, more than a few times."

"I wonder if fellow Daoist Qi has misunderstood something?"

"I hope fellow Daoist Qi will not listen to the slander of villains."

Chu Dieyi flatly denied it; naturally, it was impossible for her to admit that this matter had anything to do with her.

Moreover, she also knew that the other party would not have any evidence to prove this point.

Because her husband had handled this matter very cleanly.

"Still quibbling."

"The reason you were able to advance to Nascent Soul must have a great deal to do with my son, right?"

"It must be that you used a beauty trap to seduce my son and killed him to seize his treasures."

"You snatched the many spiritual items for Nascent Soul formation on my son's body, and only then could you logically form your Nascent Soul."

The Nascent Soul Cultivator Qi Heng was filled with murderous intent.

He felt it must be this venomous woman who had dealt a lethal blow to his son, draining him of his remaining value.

That was the only reason she could have succeeded in forming her Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, how could this woman have succeeded in forming her Nascent Soul so quickly?!

"Why waste words with this woman?"

"When has our Xuanyin Sect ever needed to rely on evidence to do things?"

"It just so happens that this woman is alone, so let's capture her alive and interrogate her with torture."

"I would like to see if this woman still dares to keep her mouth shut."

Chigui Laozu was already losing patience.

He released a terrifying aura of evil ghosts from his body; the sky for hundreds of miles around seemed to dim, covered by endless ghost energy, as if it had transformed into a realm of Darkness and ghosts.

"Fellow Daoist Chigui, you dare to make a move against me?"

"I am a Nascent Soul Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect; are you trying to start a war with my Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Chu Dieyi's expression changed; she had not expected the other party to act so decisively without any hesitation.

"Stupid, once you are slaughtered, won't there be no one left to know it was our Xuanyin Sect who did it?"

"Besides, I already have a grudge against your master, Qian Ziyun; it is precisely this woman who caused me to be unable to advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"This is a grudge of blocking my Dao."

"I cannot deal with Qian Ziyun, but dealing with her disciple is the same."

Chigui Laozu sneered; clearly, the reason he agreed to Qi Heng's request to join forces was also because he had a grudge against the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on her disciple.

Boom~~

Seeing him wave his large hand, three ghost entities were immediately released from his body.

They were eighteen zhang tall, like giants, pitch-black all over, with a single horn on their heads, and contained terrifying ghost energy within their bodies; they were indeed Fourth-tier Ghosts, equivalent to Nascent Soul level ghosts.

This was also Chigui Laozu's trump card.

It was precisely because he controlled these three Fourth-tier Ghosts that his combat power far exceeded those of the same rank.

Even among Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, his combat power was among the best.

"Die, devour her for me."

Chigui Laozu's expression was ferocious as he formed seals with his hands and cast his spell.

Instantly, the three Fourth-tier single-horned ghosts revealed fierce glints in their eyes, seemingly piercing through the Void, and the monstrous ghost energy covered hundreds of miles, as if dyeing the sky black and blotting out the sun.

Even though it was daytime, the sunlight could not penetrate the black mist at all.

The surrounding temperature also dropped sharply, causing one to shiver all over, and even the ocean was frozen by this cold, yin energy, forming a thick layer of ice.

"Yellow Gauze Umbrella!"

Chu Dieyi was unhurried and immediately took out a high-grade defensive Dharma Treasure from her body; a yellow umbrella appeared above her head, immediately triggering a thick yellow barrier covered in dense Runes.

Thud!

In an instant, the three Fourth-tier single-horned ghosts attacked, seemingly manifesting ghost claws and slamming them fiercely against this high-grade defensive Dharma Treasure, creating a terrifying momentum.

Boom~~

With just a single strike, the yellow barrier could not withstand this violent force at all and immediately shattered, and this defensive Dharma Treasure even developed cracks.

At the same time, the cold, yin ghost energy invaded, enough to freeze the meridians within a cultivator's body, causing hands and feet to tremble with cold.

And Chu Dieyi, unable to withstand such an attack, was forced back several thousand meters.

The surrounding sea was further shaken by the aftermath of this impact, stirring up monstrous waves.

These formed terrifying tides, submerging one Nameless Island after another in the vicinity.

"To be this powerful?!"

Chu Dieyi was immediately taken aback; she had naturally heard of the prestige of Ancestor Chigui of the Xuanyin Sect before.

In his youth, the opponent had also been a Holy Son of the Xuanyin Sect, possessing a resounding reputation.

Relying on his Ghost Control Technique, he had made a name for himself throughout the Canglan Sea.

He had even once, in order to refine a powerful ghost, spared no cost to use the living beings of an entire island as the price, slaughtering every living thing on the island to serve as food for a Fourth-tier Ghost.

But she had not expected that after so many years, the opponent had refined a full three Fourth-tier Ghosts.

If the opponent had the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, then he might truly be able to contend with her master.

It was a pity that the opponent's path of the Dao seemed to have been obstructed by her master, making it impossible for him to ever advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage again.

This was a grudge of obstructing the Dao, no less than the grudge of killing one's father.

It was no wonder he was so furious, wanting to kill her, the disciple, to vent his anger.

"A Cultivator who has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, yet can actually withstand the attack of my three Fourth-tier Ghosts?"

"Worthy of being the Heavenly Demon Sect Saintess, possessing Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, and it is said you even have a special constitution."

"Your talent is no less than that of your master, Qian Ziyun."

"If that is the case, then I cannot leave you alive even more."

"Otherwise, if a second Qian Ziyun were to appear in the Heavenly Demon Sect, wouldn't that mean they would unify the Demon Sect?"

An even more terrifying killing intent erupted from Ancestor Chigui.

In just a single moment of exchanging blows, he had sensed the solid foundation on Chu Dieyi; she was definitely not someone with a shallow foundation, and she had a seventy to eighty percent probability of advancing to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the future.

This was enough to prove the astonishing talent of this woman.

But the more this was the case, the less he could leave this woman alive.

This was not just for the sake of revenge, but also to eliminate a great enemy for the Xuanyin Sect.

Even though everyone belonged to the Demon Sect, there was still a competitive relationship between them.

They could not allow the Heavenly Demon Sect to become the sole power in the future.
