Chapter 77: Abrupt Disappearance
Ang!~
In an instant, countless ice-blue dragon-shaped shadows more than ten feet long roared out and flew back and forth under the gray mist vortex.
In the next breath, a gust of wind was frozen into frosty white, and then quickly solidified and transformed into Xun Ye's appearance.
However, when Xun Ye's figure appeared, he was also quickly breaking the ice.
Seeing this, Su Yan used Wuji Jian Gang mercilessly.
I saw the first of tens of thousands of Su Yan's phantoms flashing in front of Xun Ye and stabbing him like a sword.
Immediately, a hole the size of two fingers appeared between Xun Ye's eyebrows, and the divine light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
At this time, without control and follow-up support, the gray mist vortex had dissipated, and the Ice Soul Subduing Dragon Palm had also disappeared, but Su Yan was still using all the powerful features of the world.
He is waiting.
Waiting for Xun Ye’s soul.
However, until Xun Ye's body fell through the newly condensed sea of clouds, no soul escaped from it.
In the past, when Su Yan killed someone in the magical power realm or the golden elixir realm, the opponent's spirit would leave the body subconsciously for a brief moment after death.
Now Xun Ye no longer has this natural phenomenon, and he doesn't know if it is a skill that all Dharma Realms possess, or if it is a secret technique inherited from the Tiandao Sect.
Soon, tens of thousands of Su Yan's phantoms followed Xun Ye's body into the dense mountain forest below.
This mountain forest has long since become a mess due to the impact of the battle between the two Dharma Realms above.
But Su Yan didn't care. After many phantoms surrounded Xun Ye's body, they all said together: "Xun Ye, do you think that the soul is hiding in the body and cannot come out, so there is nothing I can do?"
After saying that, he directly stretched out his spiritual consciousness and stabbed Xun Ye's body!
This move was actually a bit risky, but Su Yan had to do it because he had a hunch that delaying it too long might produce bad results.
However, at this time, Xun Ye only had the Fa Xiang Yuan Shen left, and he had been attacked by the Wuji Sword Gang. Without the distance provided by Zifu, he could only perform some actions at the spiritual level.
However, when Su Yan carefully explored it with his spiritual sense, he found nothing.
The Zifu where Xun Ye's body was broken was empty, there was nothing!
'He actually escaped? Is that possible?!'
Su Yan's face was full of surprise.
Don't blame him for this.
From before he killed Xun Ye's physical body to now, he and his spiritual consciousness have been covering the area where he and Xun Ye were for several miles.
This is equivalent to a blockade - let alone a Dharma Realm soul, even a ray of divine consciousness cannot escape.
But now he couldn't find Xun Ye Yuanshen.
'You couldn't have been beaten to pieces by the Wuji Sword Gang, right?'
Su Yan had another guess in his mind.
But then he shook his head.
If Xun Ye was hit by the Hunyuan Wuji Seal and then received a Wuji Sword Gang, with the blessing of the two great powers of Kongji Faxiang, it would really be possible to directly destroy his soul.
But with a single stroke of the Wuji Sword Gang, even the soul of the Golden Core Realm would not be knocked out of his mind at once, and it would be even less likely for the soul of the Dharma Realm Realm.
It was originally a joyful thing to annihilate the sudden attack of a powerful enemy, but the inexplicable disappearance of Xun Ye's soul caused a dark cloud to hang over Su Yan's heart.
He completely extended his soul, covering a radius of seventy or eighty miles, and still found nothing.
Then, after standing in front of Xun Ye's body for a while, he slowly exhaled and frowned.
‘The reason why I want to capture his spirit is, firstly, to send him to the Demon-Sealing Tower so that he can observe Tiandao Sect’s martial arts and magical powers; secondly, to prevent Tiandao Sect from knowing about his death.
The second of these two points is the most important.
But if you think about it carefully, even if I send Xun Ye's soul to the Demon Sealing Tower to be sealed as I wish, does Tiandao Sect really not know that something happened to Xun Ye?
Judging from what Xun Ye said earlier, Tiandao Sect sensed the opening of the Tongtian Formation, so it sent Xun Ye over to investigate and deal with it.
This shows that Tiandao Sect is very likely to have a way to sense the opening of the passage between the two realms. It also explains why I feel a sense of danger every time a passage related to the spiritual world is opened.
In addition, Tiandao Sect, as a super sect with the same reputation as Five Elements Sect, Samsara Sect, and Tianyun Sect, must be something similar to fate cards, and may even be the kind of high-end goods that can distinguish the physical death of disciples or the direct death of their souls.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to conceal Xun Ye's death. If I were to lead Wuji Dao to stay in the sea of clouds afterwards, I would still face great danger.
Now Xun Ye's Yuanshen has disappeared directly, but it just doesn't give Wuji Dao any hope of continuing to stay in the sea of clouds.'
Thinking about it this way, Su Yan became more open-minded.
Immediately, he cast the Fire Seal, burned Xun Ye's body to ashes, and threw the ashes mixed with soil into a nearby river.
As for touching the corpse, he had previously inspected it with his spiritual sense and found that Xun Ye did not have any secrets on his body, just a few grades of elixirs.
If you take away those bottles of elixirs, it will undoubtedly increase the chance that Wuji Dao will be discovered by Tiandao Sect in the future. In addition, Wuji Dao has no shortage of elixirs, so Su Yan simply burned them all.
After finishing handling Xun Ye's ashes, Su Yan jumped up and headed west back to Tianyu Mountain.
When he arrived at Tianyu Mountain, he found that Su Yi, Fu Xuan, Xu Lai and other disciples who had stayed behind were waiting anxiously in the Wuji Hall on the west peak. Even Min Xuelou, Mu Chunhua and Yang Zelan who were guarding the Wuji Courtyard were also there.
Wuji Villa is only a few dozen miles away from Tianyu Mountain. Even if Su Yi and others did not notify them, Min Xuelou and others would have noticed the shocking battle more than a hundred miles away.
When Su Yan appeared in Wuji Hall intact, Su Yi, Fu Xuan and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, everyone even forgot to salute.
As the only true successor present, Su Yi asked directly: "Master, why did that Dharma Realm attack us just now?"
Su Yan sat down on the main seat and said calmly: "That man's name is Xun Ye, and he is a true disciple of the Tiandao Sect. He probably discovered that we had smuggled in from other worlds, and wanted to completely eradicate our Wuji Dao."
Hearing this, several first and second generation true disciples in the palace couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Yi then asked: "Why did Tiandao Sect do this?"
Su Yan recalled Xun Ye's frequent mention of the loopholes in the world before, and couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps he thinks we have broken the rules of this world - roughly the same as us preventing the people of the Vacuum Tao from opening the sky-swallowing formation."
Su Yi knew the most about the Vacuum Dao and the Heaven-Swallowing Formation. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said: "How can this be the same? Once the Heaven-Swallowing Formation is activated, it may destroy the small world where the witch protector lives, our Heaven-Swallowing Formation.
It will not cause damage to the spiritual world.
Even if the Tongtian Formation really has any bad influence on this world, he should have informed us first and asked us to change or close the formation. How could he destroy our Wuji Dao without asking anything?"
After hearing this, Su Yan smiled helplessly and said: "Not to mention what impact the opening of the Tongtian Formation will have on this world, just comparing the strength of the two sides, Tiandao Sect is one of the super sects in this world, but we are only in the sea of clouds.
Cangnan is a corner of the world with some reputation.
The gap between the two sides is like that between a human and an ant. Will a human pay attention to the life and death of an ant? If an ant crawls on them and feels uncomfortable, most people will choose to crush it to death, right?"
Hearing this, all the disciples in the hall couldn't help but fell silent.
They all understood what Su Yan meant - Tiandao Sect acted so tyrannically because Wuji Dao was too weak.
After a period of silence, Fu Xuan said: "Master, what should we do?"
