Chapter 719: Containment

Shen Xiuxin was waiting outside the barren mountain where the Ancient Teleportation Array was located, her face full of anxiety and unease.

In truth, she highly disapproved of the actions taken by her two uncles.

After all, Sister Bai was a very good person.

Alas... as a mere Golden Core Cultivator, her words carried little weight; she was completely unable to dissuade Baiyunzi and Diao'ao Sou, and could only watch helplessly as the three Nascent Soul cultivators broke off, then engaged in a magical pursuit, constantly moving further away...

"Uncle Baiyun and Uncle Diao'ao are both True Disciples of our Shushan Sword Pavilion... Even when facing Nascent Soul monsters from the other Ten Great Sects, they do not fall behind; that Loose Cultivator Nascent Soul will surely lose his head..."

'Senior Brother Zhang', at the late stage of Golden Core, was holding forth, his words full of excitement: "Fellow Junior Brothers and Sisters... I have just patrolled the surroundings and discovered that the Blood Moon Disaster here is far milder than in Great Gan... Perhaps it is because the Spirit Qi is thin, to the point that even Ghost Cultivators do not look upon this place... But regardless, this is a blessed land gifted to us by heaven!"

"The rebuilding of our sect begins today!"

In his perception...

'As for the teleportation array? Even if it is broken, wouldn't it be enough to just have the Blood Demon build me a new one?'

'Unexpectedly... the Shen Family actually produced a Golden Core... er, the Shen Family of the Great Gan branch.'

But a Golden Core is still a Golden Core!

Shen Xiuxin had no idea why this Nascent Soul monster, who looked like a young man, was laughing, but she dared not refuse him casually.

What made these cultivators change color was the identity of that woman in white, as well as those two cold and powerful Divine Senses!

In the Great Qian Cultivation World, how to deal with a Nascent Soul monster is a required course for Golden Core Cultivators.

Although, it was a mass-produced item created by the Black Demon Sect's branch by scraping together every last resource...

Shen Xiuxin naturally would not fall behind in this regard.

He pointed at the somewhat dazed Shen Xiuxin: "You can just be the first Hall Master, haha... haha..."

Furthermore, Baiyunzi and Diao'ao Sou were both Sword Cultivators, having refined the Dharma Treasure, the Invisible Sword!

Shallow waters produce dragons!

This was simply impossible!

He had once set his sights on her, wanting to engage in dual cultivation with her!

Then, they saw a large turtle... paddling over in a leisurely manner?

That was a True Disciple Golden Core of the Shushan Sword Pavilion!

Relying on the Invisible Sword and late-stage Golden Core cultivation, escaping with one's life from a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator should not be too difficult.

Aaron brought everyone back to the Yaowang Sect mountain gate with a smile the whole way, and even specifically called over a Shen Family Foundation Establishment deacon, instructing: "This is Fellow Daoist Shen Xiuxin, who is responsible for establishing the Shushan Sword Hall in this sect; treat her well..."

This Shen Family cultivator naturally nodded repeatedly; not to mention that the Supreme Elder had personally given the order, even this Golden Core female cultivator was someone he could not afford to provoke.

After all, in the Shen Family of the Far West, there had long been cultivators who reached Golden Core...

Blood Demon Situ Yin... seems to have met a true opponent!

'As expected... these Immortal Cultivators have endless schemes; they never bring out their true trump cards until the sect is truly destroyed and they themselves are on the verge of death!'

Once these words were spoken, the group of cultivators was awestruck!

Especially after achieving Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul can leave the physical body, travel through the void, and is even harder to kill!

First, shatter the core and re-refine the Life-Bound Divine Ability!

'When the Blood Demon completely wipes out the Great Qian Cultivation World, my Far West will directly lie down and win, becoming the number one cultivation world in the world...'

A female cultivator wearing a purple shirt hurriedly said: "Junior Sister Shen, just apologize, and this matter will pass."

"What else is there to say? For those who submit, let them become a subordinate branch of our Sword Pavilion, sending us resources and talented individuals with excellent Spirit Roots every year... Those who follow live, those who do not, die!"

Even if they were not a match, they could still manage to escape by wielding the Invisible Sword.

Bai Caiwei: "..."

Her mediation was in name only, but her words were still biased toward Senior Brother Zhang.

"Then what about the local Golden Core Sect?"

At this moment, her heart went completely cold...

Aaron nodded slightly; for him, there was indeed no difference in one's background.

She spoke in a pitiful manner, carrying a hint of charm, which made even Bai Caiwei's heart flutter.

"Xiuxin's ancestors did indeed come from the Far West, but so what?"

Once at the Nascent Soul level, with the marvelous use of 'Red' Spirituality, even without the Bloodline Talisman, Aaron could find the shadow of someone he was familiar with in Shen Xiuxin.

Shen Xiuxin knew that if she married over, she would only be a Cauldron, so she refused directly, and from then on, she was often suppressed within the sect...

After all, Nascent Soul monsters are generally considered to have quite eccentric personalities because they have lived for too long, which is why they are called 'Nascent Soul monsters'!

Especially those who like to pretend to be young; they are even more temperamental, and some even kill at the slightest provocation!

"No matter... This master also has some attainments in Ancient Teleportation Arrays; this corner will be repaired sooner or later..."

'This is what it truly means to survive to the end and have everything!'

Aaron scanned Ziling a few more times and suddenly said: "Do not attempt to use your little charm techniques on this seat... Are you from the Demon Sect?"

"My Shen Family has served the Sword Pavilion for countless generations, risking our lives for the Sword Pavilion; does that not outweigh the background of a mere ancestor?"

"That cultivator who looks like a youth... is unfathomable; he is also a Nascent Soul!"

After laughing for no reason, Aaron came to the cave again and saw the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Aaron began to criticize righteously, but in his heart, he was thinking about finding a time to continue sacrificing to the main body, and letting the Blood Demon send over the True Disciples and treasures swept up from the Beidou Hall.

'After the Shushan Sword Hall, the Black Demon Hall can also be established... and when the Blood Demon wipes them out one by one, the Taixu Hall, Zhengqi Hall, Original Demon Hall... all of them will be there!'

"I don't believe it!"

Senior Brother Zhang shouted, an Invisible Sword guarding his front, his figure suddenly disappearing without a trace, having actually performed the Formless Sword Escape... and ran!

Facing two Nascent Soul monsters, only a fool would not run!

And what does Shen Xiuxin have?

"You all..."

"Blood Demon... truly a great scourge of the cultivation world!"

Shushan Sword Pavilion is full of Sword Cultivators; although there are degenerates like Senior Brother Zhang, most still quite strictly follow the Sword Dao.

Regardless of the outcome of the two Nascent Soul Junior Uncles' battle, at the very least, they certainly cannot defeat these two powerful enemies!

As Senior Brother Zhang transformed into a streak of Invisible Sword light to flee, he seemed to trigger some signal... these Sword Cultivators one after another steered their sword lights or employed escape techniques... fleeing for their lives in different directions!

"Could the two Junior Uncles have..."

"So this is the Ancient Teleportation Array? Not bad, not bad..."

The path of the Sword Cultivator is to be resilient and unyielding!

After Aaron revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation, the Shen Family and the Li Family were even more immensely grateful that their ancestors had not burned bridges back then, and they clung to him even more enthusiastically, hoping to ride his coattails.

Who would have thought that in a backwater place like the Extreme West, a Nascent Soul cultivator could actually emerge!

Shen Xiuxin's words were sharp, like a long sword: "Senior Brother Zhang, you secretly practiced Demonic Dao harvesting techniques and tried to force yourself upon me; there is no need to be so base!"

But it happened nonetheless.

Aaron said indifferently.

Shen Xiuxin and the others followed along the side, not daring to run or speak loudly, only able to sigh inwardly.

"Isn't it said that Sword Cultivators are all resilient and unyielding? At this moment, hearing the news of your Junior Uncles' deaths, you should all be coming at me with swords to fight for your lives..."

"Hehe... I didn't expect that while coming to investigate the remnants, I would get to see such a good show."

After all, even without a Nascent Soul backer, the opponent still had Golden Core late-stage cultivation!

"Exactly..."

Furthermore, a Nascent Soul cultivator who is quite profound in both spell-casting and Array Dao.

It is even rumored that in order to break through in cultivation, this person secretly chose to study some harvesting techniques and kept a large number of concubines.

The group of Sword Cultivators were all struck with awe, as the spiritual light of various Dharma Treasures and the radiance of Talismans flickered.

The female Sword Cultivator in purple exclaimed.

Seeing this, those Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters were also revitalized.

Bai Caiwei said: "Even if we repair the teleportation array on this end, if the teleportation array on the other end is destroyed, it will be equally ineffective..."

Yet for some reason, it was as if they were being targeted, killed by a single needle!

"Ancestor, spare my life! This concubine Ziling is willing to be your slave and servant!"

"This concerns the Daoist Lineage; this matter must not be taken lightly. Anyone who dares to obstruct us is an external demon to our Sword Cultivators and may be slain with a single sword!"

"To tell you the truth..." Ziling gave a bitter smile: "This concubine is a secret agent planted by the Original Demon Sect in Shushan Sword Pavilion... Actually, it is nothing much, just responsible for transmitting what I see and hear back to the Demon Sect every so often... This time, during the Blood Moon catastrophe, this concubine could not react at all and could only take refuge with the Sword Pavilion..."

The Senior Sister in purple robes immediately knelt down: "Please, Senior, place a Soul Restriction on me; this concubine will definitely not dare to resist... Sister Bai, it was the two Junior Uncles who made the decisions; we were completely unable to refute them..."

One of them had the appearance of a youth, while the other was graceful and charming; both were handsome men and beautiful women rarely seen in the secular world.

"When we first arrived, this cave entrance was also sealed."

"Being able to serve as the lower branch of our Shushan Sword Pavilion is a blessing that a sect in this remote place has accumulated over many years!"

In their minds, even if a Nascent Soul old monster fails in a battle, they still have many ways to escape.

Above the turtle, there were two more figures.

"We will strictly follow the orders of the Supreme Elder!"

By then, once the teleportation array is built, it will be a secret passage to escape Great Gan.

Of course, in the Immortal Cultivation World, there are plenty of such men and women.

'By then, my Yaowang Sect will also be the number one sect in the world, and as for myself... I won't be modest, I'll just be the number one cultivator in the world...'

"Haha... she is surnamed Shen, and you are surnamed Shen; you can get closer, who knows, nine hundred years ago, you might have been one family! Hahahaha..."

'Whatever the Great Array or divine abilities... as long as I break through Beidou Hall, it will be mine, all mine!'

"Master... that Beidou Hall on the other side, when this disciple left, it was under siege by the Blood Demon; I fear it may not have survived..."

Shen Xiuxin felt as if she were meeting this Senior Sister Ziling for the first time.

Never did she expect that at the moment of the sect's destruction, this Senior Brother Zhang would still be thinking of making things difficult for her!

Yes... Aaron has always had members of the Shen Family and Li Family working for him!

After all, Aaron's two great disciples had died of old age back then... they hadn't burned bridges, and the Shen and Li families just accepted it.

After all, she had only obtained a tiny bit of inheritance; according to the access rights, she was at most an Inner Sect Disciple!

Want to become a True Disciple?

After leaking the Heavenly Secret, Aaron looked toward the direction of Great Gan, his expression gradually becoming serious...

Amidst the surging public sentiment, Senior Brother Zhang suddenly looked at Shen Xiuxin: "Junior Sister Shen... your ancestors seem to have come from this Extreme West; could it be that you cannot bear this matter?"

Bai Caiwei explained from the side: "This Ancient Teleportation Array can achieve long-distance teleportation; there might be array manuals in the Beidou Hall of the Xuantian Sect, but I cannot enter..."

And to deal with these small fries, there is no need to use the Spirit Treasure Invisible Sword.

His own Invisible Needle is enough to solve the problem!

Chi chi!

"It's the old monster Bai! She actually returned?"

What is the Sword Dao?

Shen Xiuxin felt her heart sinking deeper and deeper into an icy Abyss.

At this moment, looking at the few remaining trembling cultivators, he could not help but reveal a smile that, to them, looked like that of an Asura: "Hmm... you are all quite sensible. From today on, you are people of our Yaowang Sect's 'Shushan Sword Hall'... You!"

Hmm, tell the outside world that the Blood Demon missed it back then and didn't destroy the teleportation array on that side; anyway, this is a fact!

'By then, I can activate the evacuation plan... let Bai Caiwei go to Great Gan to collect scraps... oh, no, that's not right, it's to collect people!'

A terrifying thought surfaced in the hearts of many Sword Cultivators, yet not one was willing to speak it aloud.

Shen Xiuxin felt a great shudder in her heart.

In the end, Shen Xiuxin gave a miserable smile: "He who commits many injustices is doomed to self-destruction... Are the two Martial Uncles defeated?!"

Bai Caiwei looked at Shen Xiuxin and sighed softly, answering: "Not only that, they encountered my master and have both perished..."

Disagreeing at a word and drawing swords against each other—this is what a Sword Cultivator is!

Even among fellow disciples, many have died due to such sword duels!

The sect even established a rule: cultivators of the same realm may ascend the Sword Discussion Platform to duel with swords and discuss Taoism, and killing is not a crime!

"Between fellow disciples, why must it be like this?"

Shen Xiuxin's eyes narrowed, and she looked sternly at Senior Brother Zhang.

This is the sect!

Her family had shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for it for dozens of generations... what exactly was it exchanged for?

"So that's how it is..."

Now that this Senior Brother Zhang's Nascent Soul grandfather was long dead, she had nothing to fear at all.

"You are not a pure Sword Cultivator!"

"Who is it?"

Of course, there was no need to tell Bai Caiwei these things.

Just at this moment, a young voice rang out.

Aaron looked at the extremely three-dimensional and complex array patterns on the Array Disk, which even he could not understand, feeling that he would need to raise his Array Formation to at least the Fourth Order, or perhaps even a more profound level, to understand this Ancient Teleportation Array.

In the void, cultivators would scream from time to time, a red dot appearing between their eyebrows like a red mole, before they collapsed to the ground and turned into corpses!

Shen Xiuxin saw that 'Senior Brother Zhang', who had been the first to flee, also have a red dot appear between his eyebrows and fall from high in the air; she shuddered, as if suddenly waking from a long Nightmare, not even knowing where she was...

This Senior Brother Zhang was also a True Disciple of the Shushan Sword Pavilion and had a biological grandfather who was a Nascent Soul old monster, so he had always acted without restraint.

Aaron was somewhat speechless and raised his hand to release the Invisible Needle!

At this moment, all the Secret Transmissions and Sword Formulas of the Shushan Sword Pavilion held no secrets from him whatsoever.

Senior Brother Zhang's face turned green and then red, before shifting into a cold sneer: "Good... good... if we were still at the Shushan Sword Pavilion, I would have had to invite Junior Sister to the Sword Discussion Platform!"

'But if Situ Yin is dead, then he is dead... Being able to see the true foundation of the Immortal Cultivation World makes this trip worthwhile!'

'Fortunately, I did not enter the fray myself, otherwise, this foundation would have been used against me...'
