Arc 17: Hengwu Small World | Chapter 342: Destroy The Enemy

Sponsored chapter (2/3)

A wailing cry of ghosts echoed as the living souls displayed expressions of fear. However, once enveloped by the golden net, their bloodlight gradually weakened, and their expressions slowly became serene. The golden light of Buddhism inherently carried the intention of salvation; even if they couldn’t all be completely saved at once, it could still provide some comfort.

Soon, the golden net was suddenly pulled back, its edges sharply contracting to form a pouch shape, and those living souls were like fish caught in a net, all drawn in!

Xu Ziqing opened his hand, and the golden net instantly shot into the bowl, which he grasped with his fingers, successfully containing it.

At this moment, the ghostly aura in the sky was swept away, and the elder Qing Jun’s face was filled with panic. His greatest ability had been shattered, rendering him powerless!

Xu Ziqing sighed, about to eliminate him.

However, the old man once again manipulated his talismans, summoning the previously battling demonized warriors to float beside him like a group of puppets.

The demonized warriors’ eyes turned crimson as they charged toward Xu Ziqing once more!

Xu Ziqing showed no mercy this time; the living souls were no longer a concern, and he hesitated no longer.

He immediately raised his palm, and several blood vines sprang forth from his palm, extending out dozens of times to tightly bind those demonized warriors. As for the elder Qing Jun, he was entangled by the thickest vine, which pierced directly into his heart and drained him of blood.

The matured bloodthirsty demon vine was even more ferocious; in the blink of an eye, it drained him dry and returned.

Everyone who had been suspended in mid-air, including the elder, turned into a dry corpse.

Xu Ziqing reached out and summoned Rongjin back into his body, while a glimmering pearl appeared in his palm.

The pearl emitted a mixed aura, primarily of celestial essence, yet it had a thin layer of demonic energy on top—specifically the golden core of the elder Qing Jun.

After a moment’s contemplation, he crushed it.

In the cultivation world, disputes were numerous; if a golden core or primordial infant fell into enemy hands, it could be extracted or exchanged for other resources.

However, regardless of whether they were celestial or demonic, cultivators who had fought against heaven for their lives were left with their golden core as the only proof of their existence after death.

Xu Ziqing, who practiced the path of life and death reincarnation, felt pity for living beings. He was unwilling to treat the golden core as a mere commodity for exchange.

In the end, resources and wealth could all be acquired through experience; there was no need to let these cultivators remain unrestful after death.

At this moment, all the attackers from the Wu Ao Sect lay dead, and the atmosphere around them cleared.

Xu Ziqing performed a spell, and the ma.s.sive plants gathered the corpses strewn across the ground and placed them into a large pit. Afterward, the plants transformed back into seeds, which Xu Ziqing collected.

Now, he could control myriad plants as if they were extensions of his limbs, with endless true essence rolling in his dantian, capable of accommodating many varieties of trees and wood. The wonders of the “Ten Thousand Woods Great Heart Planting Technique” would slowly begin to reveal themselves now that he had reached the golden core cultivation level.

Yun Tiangang stood before the Yunjia Village, observing the battle with a flicker of light in his eyes, yet he did not intervene.

As Xu Ziqing approached, he smiled slightly and said, “Thank you for waiting, s.h.i.+xiong.”

Yun Tiangang nodded slightly. “Your cultivation is quite impressive now.”

Xu Ziqing replied with a smile, “This is thanks to your guidance in the past.”

The two exchanged a few words, but Xu Ziqing’s expression seemed hesitant.

Xu Ziqing had released the aura of his techniques during the battle with the Qingyun Needle and bloodthirsty demon vines, wondering if his s.h.i.+xiong could recall more.

Yun Tiangang, understanding Xu Ziqing without needing to be asked, said, “I have already remembered the prototype form of the Small Universe.”

Xu Ziqing felt a slight relief; his a.s.sumption was indeed correct. His s.h.i.+xiong’s memories were like droplets of water, continuously gathering together.

Among these memories, those related to cultivation were clearer to his s.h.i.+xiong, allowing him to recall them more quickly.

Afterward, the two said no more. The trials the Yunjia Village faced were entirely due to Yun Tiangang; the protective barrier he had erected must have been pushed to its limits.

Now that the matter with the Wu Ao Sect had been resolved, they should quickly enter the village and rea.s.sure everyone.

The protective jade pendant, crafted by Xu Ziqing himself, was easily dealt with. He pointed at it, shattering the barrier.

Then, the two stepped inside.

Just a few steps in, they were met by the sound of footsteps, colliding with someone.

Earlier, when the Wu Ao Sect had launched a sudden attack, the people of the Yunjia village were caught off guard, but under Yun Zhenhai’s orders, they had organized themselves and prepared to fend off the attackers.

Yun Zhenshan said, “I heard the Wu Ao Sect faced suppression recently. Could it be that Tiangang’s nephew accomplished something in Xuantian City?”

Yun Zhenhai furrowed his brow, “I worry about Tiangang’s straightforward nature; there might be other entanglements involved.”

The two brothers discussed this but could not reach a conclusion.

They decided not to think too much about it and focused on resisting the external threat.

However, with over a hundred people from the Wu Ao Sect attacking, the warriors of the Yunjia Village were outnumbered, with only a handful of Xiantian warriors present, all of whom were in seclusion. How could they possibly respond? At that moment, Yun Tianheng had finally emerged from his retreat and activated a protective jade pendant that enveloped the entire village, preventing the attackers from breaking through.

The brothers exchanged astonished glances, and then thoughts of Xu Ziqing, who had suddenly appeared over a decade ago, began to swirl in their minds.

For a moment, they couldn’t voice their questions.

However, the enemy still had the advantage in numbers, and the peculiar barrier was being violently struck, beginning to sway precariously.

Yun Tianheng held the jade pendant, straining to activate it, but his strength was failing, and his complexion gradually turned pale, as if he were about to exhaust himself.

Yun Zhenhai and the others comforted the villagers while worrying greatly about Yun Tianheng, fearing he might come to harm. Yet, if they didn’t allow Yun Tianheng to act, once the barrier fell, those people would rush into the village, and the entire Yun family would be doomed!

Later, as the others took shelter within the barrier, the attackers could not endure for long. They attacked while also starting fires!

Yun Zhenhai and the others were enraged, but they were outmatched, and forced to endure the agony.

They only waited for the barrier to give way, ready to charge out together. Even if everyone in the village were to perish today, they would at least take down a few with them!

However, after a moment, the barrier suddenly ceased trembling.

Yun Tianheng was astonished, but he didn’t dare stop channeling his spiritual power.

Yun Zhenhai asked, “Tianheng, did something happen?”

Yun Tianheng took a deep breath and replied, “It seems that someone is coming to our aid…”

Yun Zhenshan hurriedly asked, “Tianheng, can you glimpse the situation outside the village?”

Yun Tianheng thought for a moment and nodded, “I can try.”

Due to practicing wood-based cultivation techniques, he was able to merge his spiritual power with the protective barrier to observe the outside situation. Although he didn’t understand how he had acquired this ability, he realized it might be related to the techniques he practiced. Even if he couldn’t explain it, he could use it effectively.

Soon, Yun Tianheng gathered a bit of strength, barely attaching it to the barrier, allowing him to see everything outside clearly. He immediately exclaimed, “It’s Cousin Tiangang and Master coming!”

Although he hadn’t officially become a disciple yet, he privately referred to Xu Ziqing as “Master.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenhai and his brother were taken aback. Had they returned so quickly?

Then they noticed Yun Tianheng’s expression s.h.i.+fting repeatedly, prompting them to ask more questions.

Seeing the intense battle outside, Yun Tianheng’s surprise and confusion were evident. He was still quite young and lacked deep cunning, so he quickly recounted everything: the unusual sword intent of Yun Tiangang, Xu Ziqing’s battle with the old man Qingjun, and the numerous warriors who had been demonized.

Such astonis.h.i.+ng events left Yun Zhenhai and his brother feeling dizzy.

The other villagers of the Yun family were even more shocked the more they listened.

As the head of the village, Yun Zhenhai had considerable experience, and upon hearing this, he sighed, “Who exactly is Pharmacist Xu…?”

Hearing his son’s actions, he had an inkling deep down that Pharmacist Xu shared a connection with his beloved son that was likely beyond ordinary friends.h.i.+p.

Moreover, the strange phenomena and Pharmacist Xu’s methods that Yun Tianheng described were unprecedented and shocking!

The crowd was stirred, unsure of how to feel.

Yun Tianheng’s spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, but fortunately, the battle outside didn’t last long; soon, all the attackers were eliminated.

Yun Zhenhai first felt a sense of relief, but then his nerves heightened.

At that moment, the protective barrier was breached. Yun Tianheng put away the jade pendant, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to greet the newcomers.

Just then, he encountered Xu Ziqing and Yun Tiangang.

Xu Ziqing looked up and saw Yun Tianheng halt abruptly. Noticing his expression was quite complex, he smiled and said, “Tianheng has certainly not been idle; your cultivation seems commendable.”

Yun Tianheng stopped, then respectfully bowed, “Greetings, Senior Xu, greetings, Cousin Tiangang.”

Xu Ziqing appraised him from head to toe, finding a favorable impression. After ten years of cultivation, Yun Tianheng had clearly endured hards.h.i.+ps and had indeed broken through, now at the fourth level of Qi Refinement. The wood energy within him was pure, showing evident dedication to his training.

Earlier, when the Yunjia Village faced adversity, Yun Tianheng had retrieved his protective item and had not hesitated to expend his strength to activate it. If he had overexerted himself and harmed his foundation, his realm might have declined. Yet, despite knowing this, Yun Tianheng persisted, demonstrating his understanding of grat.i.tude and a broad-minded heart.

He was a promising candidate, which sparked Xu Ziqing’s desire to take him as a disciple. He decided to observe a bit longer; if Yun Tianheng maintained his consistency, he would settle the matter. By then, once his brother’s memories were restored, he could report to him and then inquire about Yun Tianheng’s intentions.

Having just witnessed Xu Ziqing’s formidable presence, Yun Tianheng was even more careful not to be disrespectful. He vaguely understood the kind of cultivation Xu Ziqing practiced and felt quite pleased. However, he did not dare to show too much, rea.s.suring himself before leading the two inside. Perhaps because he was also a pract.i.tioner, upon seeing Yun Tiangang again, he clearly sensed that his cousin still lacked any aura of power, yet the feeling of danger was profound, like a deep abyss, causing him complete trepidation.

Before long, the three arrived at the main hall to meet the other members of the Yunjia Village.

All direct descendants, including the outstanding offspring from the branches, had gathered there since the earlier attack. They had set up sentries every few steps outside, maintaining strict vigilance.

Seeing Yun Tianheng bring in the newcomers, the many descendants seemed to relax their expressions, as if they understood something.

Yun Zhenhai and his wife had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the matriarch, Meng Qingshao, saw her son return, she hurried a few steps and grasped Yun Tiangang’s arm, “My son, are you alright?”

Although Yun Tiangang had regained part of his memory, he didn’t shy away.

Yun Zhenhai also asked, “Pharmacist Xu, what is going on?”
