Chapter 104: Continue

Jiang Yu shouted awake the grandfather and grandson lying on the table, and after confirming the address and just sending a message, she saw four evading light beams fly in from the east, landing near the great formation in the blink of an eye.

She saw that they were her master and three monks, immediately opened the formation gate and stepped forward to bow to her master and Enlightened Master.

Sui Lv Zhenjun found that he could not see through the disguise on her face, "Jiang Yu?"

"It's my master." Jiang Yu did not intend to remove the disguise spirit treasure from her face.

"Take us to meet the person." Sui Lv Zhenjun was very pleased with her invisibility formation; if the junior disciple had not specifically informed him, he would have flown over without noticing.

When the party stepped into the formation, the forbidden spirit net's late‑stage Foundation Establishment suddenly lunged forward on the monk's side, clearly recognizing the two core pills behind Enlightened Master.

Jiang Yu was not accustomed to him; she used a pinch of spirit power to shrink the great net, instantly causing him and that mid‑stage Foundation Establishment to collide with each other's wounds.

The old abbot and the grandson were swept by a few glances, terrified and dared not look up.

Sui Lv Zhenjun spoke: "Remove the net."

"Guo Ye, do you recognize him?" Enlightened Master asked the core pill on his left side behind him.

"Uncle Master, I have never seen him." Guo Ye glanced at his junior brother.

As the latter shook his head, Jiang Yu withdrew the net and, with a burst of spirit power, opened this person's mute aperture.

Guo Ye also emitted a cyan spirit power, instantly binding the two Foundations.

The late‑stage Foundation Establishment shouted: "Ancestor Guo Ye, I, the old ancestor, was a lay disciple Chen Gui of the temple; a hundred years ago, he led the clan's youths to fall during the great Dao‑Demon war.

The Chen family also collapsed thereafter; the disciple years ago once held an identity token to go to Great Enlightenment Temple to seek apprenticeship, and it was you who tested his spiritual root."

Jiang Yu, upon hearing this, immediately handed the retrieved identity jade token and the interrogation results to her master, then also handed these people's storage bags.

But Sui Lv Zhenjun only gave the jade token to Enlightened Master, kept the interrogation jade slip for himself, and did not take the storage bags.

Jiang Yu said that some of the pills inside were problematic, better to have a pill master study them; he then took them.

When the jade token reached Guo Ye monk's hand, he finally recalled, "So it's you. Back then you refused to cut your hair; I, respecting your ancestral line, granted you a lay disciple slot and gave you several bottles of pills.

But I did not let you use Great Enlightenment Temple's name to swagger and swindle around."

"What the disciple does not want is that in the ancient cultivation cave there was a trap; the lingering souls inside…" The late‑stage Foundation Establishment just said "lingering souls" and let out a wail, seven orifices bleeding.

Enlightened Master quickly acted to heal, but just as he was about to press to his crown, this late‑stage Foundation Establishment's forehead burst a hole, and with a kick it died.

The cultivators were fine, but not far the grandfather and grandson were so frightened they fell with a thud; the old abbot held the restless grandson, fearing he would also die instantly.

A few steps away in the enlarged spatial Dharma hall, several children crowded at the window also screamed in fright.

Enlightened Master sighed: "Amitabha, those who commit many injustices will bring about their own ruin; he triggered a divine soul restriction.

I'm afraid I must go to the ancient cultivation cave to take a look."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but pause, her gaze shifting to another Foundation; the latter kept waving his hands, "I can't say, I can't say, I…"

"Master's compassion, the junior does not wish to die."

"I, the old monk, will only probe your divine soul." Enlightened Master would not let him refuse; his right hand flashed lightning, pointing, fixing him, then pressing his hand to his forehead.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu, under Sui Lv Zhenjun's indication, opened the spatial Dharma hall and soothed the children.

Fortunately, with Xiao Xuan's help last night, she had woken them one by one and handed out chicken soup; the children, though terrified, gradually calmed down.

After a short while, she looked back; the Enlightened Master was no longer probing the divine soul, but was drenched in sweat, as was the person being probed.

It was Sui Lv Zhenjun who timely made the two monks strike the wooden fish, causing Enlightened Master to open his eyes and finish his technique.

The mid‑stage Foundation Establishment immediately collapsed to the ground; Guo Ye monk hurriedly gave him a divine pill for nourishment.

Enlightened Master, supported by another monk, sat on the cushion the latter placed and swallowed a pill, "A very strong restriction; this poor monk was almost bewildered by it."

"It seems the lingering souls in the ancient cultivation cave have considerable cultivation.

They may have already manifested, and we also need to inform other sects, sending disciples to the mortal realm to clear these fake recruiters." Sui Lv Zhenjun, regarding Jiang Yu's mention that Profound Heaven Sect's Wen Lan might have possessed, believed it more.

Enlightened Master nodded: "Alright, I will co‑sign the message with you.

This time, thanks to Junior Jiang's timely discovery, otherwise our temple's reputation would surely have been damaged."

"It's the same; they sometimes even brand themselves under the Grand Void Sect's banner." Sui Lv Zhenjun wondered why he personally came, because such matters are extremely vile and damage sect reputation.

He and Enlightened Master acted quickly; in no time they co‑signed messages to all sects, and the responses came swiftly, all saying they would arrive immediately.

The two core‑pill monks then followed Jiang Yu to the spatial Dharma hall to examine the children's bodies.

"Jiang Yu, if you have business, go attend to it; later send these children to the mountain temple, someone here will take over." Sui Lv Zhenjun also messaged his own sect for people; one more Jiang Yu is not too much, one less she is not insignificant.

So with a wave, he called her out of the hall.

Jiang Yu, however, glanced at the meditating Enlightened Master, approached his side and transmitted: "Master, could you please have the master look again at this female cultivator, does she have two different divine‑soul restrictions? She has seen my elder brother but lacks this memory.

Moreover, I suspect my elder brother may have been possessed." Then she showed the portrait to the master and recounted what Fang Yin had seen and heard.

Sui Lv Zhenjun immediately thought of one point: "Could it be that back that year on Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, you sensed something was wrong?"

"Yes, my elder brother never called me little sister; he and our parents always called my childhood name Xiao Jiang Tou." Jiang Yu's parents perhaps feared the child would be hard to raise, so gave them humble names, son "Big Jiang Tou", daughter "Little Jiang Tou".

"Enlightened Master, you just got a bit injured, let me go." As he spoke, Sui Lv Zhenjun already walked toward the Mi‑surname female cultivator.

Having learned from past mistakes, he carefully probed the other's divine soul, indeed finding two restrictions.

One was clearly less complicated, but after thinking he still could not break it, deciding to let Enlightened Master examine later.

Then he instructed Jiang Yu: "I will send people to focus on Nan Su, and when you encounter your elder brother, be sure to be cautious.

However, there's no need to be overly afraid; a core‑pill stage possession of a Foundation‑stage body cannot revert to core‑pill in just two or three years.

If possession occurs during Qi‑refining, it's even less possible to reach core‑pill now.

A Nascent Soul‑stage divine soul still carries some divine abilities; possessing a core‑pill might have a chance to form a Nascent Soul.

But the divine souls of core‑pill and Foundation stages are much weaker; starting cultivation anew is inevitable.

"Understood." Jiang Yu helped move everyone to the mountain temple, then continued her own search for relatives.

Not until noon she received a message from Mo Yizhou: "Elder Nan Su is at the sect, probably returned about a year ago, but he seems severely injured, falling from mid‑core‑pill to early stage.

You ask him, is there something?"

"Has he ever taken disciples? How many?" Core‑pill cultivators bring Foundation‑stage seekers for treasure, mostly close acquaintances.
