Chapter 817 - 392: One of the Five Pavilions, Discarding the Vest_2

"This matter is beyond our decision-making capacity now, involving two Nascent Soul level major sects, we can only wait for the decision from above.

Therefore, gathering four fellow Daoists here today is not for the matter concerning Fellow Daoist Duan, but because of the great interest this old man has in the item the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's Demon Lord seeks, even if it means refining Fellow Daoist Duan's soul."

Wu Fanshanhai's gaze swept over the four.

Four people's expressions changed with the statement.

Indeed.

If it was truly about barging into the Four Domains in anger and killing Fellow Daoist Duan, why bother with soul refining?

The Demon Lord of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect is not unaware that the secrets known in their minds are restricted by the Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even Nascent Soul soul refining cannot decipher them.

Yet the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's Demon Lord still did it.

This indicates what he desires is not those secrets.

Wu Fanshanhai continued, "According to the information from Fellow Daoist Duan's disciple Du Yueqing, and the informants we have placed.

This old man has determined that the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's true goal is not the land of the Four Domains, but certain items in the hands of the East Splendor Divine Palace.

Nowadays, beneath the Lifeless Abyss of the Four Domains, all Demon Cultivators and Evil Cultivators are searching for people from the East Splendor Divine Palace.

This further highlights the issue."

"Fellow Daoist Shanhai, then what do we do?" The cultivator with a sullen face had a flicker of expectation in his eyes, all without saying a word.

Wu Fanshanhai shook his head, "The Nine Abyss Demon Spirit is a Tier Four entity, though divided, it does not possess the power of Tier Four.

Yet it remains exceedingly troublesome.

No matter if we go together or individually, there is great risk.

Therefore, I need four fellow Daoists to help guard Duo Bao Floating Domain, to prevent any unexpected incidents.

And I will make a trip to Youling Mountain!"

"Is Fellow Daoist Flipping Mountain going to meet the True Monarch?"

The cultivator with a sullen face showed signs of shock.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

In the First Abyss, the fleet continued to sail with surprising safety.

Dynamic weather, worldly changes, although they've been encountered these days, they have yet to encounter Demon Spirits or magic spirits.

This brought much relief to Master Witch and his group.

The people from Viper Commerce Association, along with Gongyang Fu and others, sighed in relief.

"By our current speed of flight, we should be able to leave the terrain of the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect within half a month." Gongyang Fu spoke leisurely while guarding the formation, chatting beside East Spring Undying Bone.

He also enthusiastically praised the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, unfailingly painting a favorable picture.

Having nothing to do on this journey, Wen Jiu continued acting alongside Gongyang Fu.

Just this morning, Wen Jiu finally welcomed an opportunity to discard He Jiu's disguise.

Finally, the Demon Spirits and magic spirits they hadn't encountered these days surged like waves, sweeping over the sky and ground.

The scale was enormous, blocking out the sun.

For Master Witch and his group, who had some understanding of the First Abyss, they recognized this as the Soul-Breaking Wave at first glance.

What is the Soul-Breaking Wave? It is a wave formed by countless tiny demon spirits and magic spirits, annihilating souls wherever it passes.

It's the most perilous mutation in the First Abyss.

Even the Late Stage of Golden Core is difficult to escape.

"Everyone, get out of the cabins immediately and bolster the formation!" Master Witch, seeing this, fearfully transmitted the message into everyone's mind.

Du Yueqing and the Great Palace Master immediately unleashed all their Magical Artifacts and Talisman Treasures without any reservation.

Given the scene, facing the shade-covering phenomenon, coupled with the crisis-ready posture of Master Witch and others.

Could anyone be unaware that they've reached the threshold of life and death!

Master Witch and a few others frequently glanced at Du Yueqing, knowing that with the terrifying Soul-Breaking Wave, all their hopes rested on that senior.

Seeing the Soul-Breaking Wave nearing, Du Yueqing was also extremely anxious, but unfortunately, the senior hadn't contacted him for days.

At this moment, Wen Jiu eagerly controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to move forward, "Fellow Daoist Gongyang, I'll go ahead to assist."

Gongyang Fu hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist He, don't go!"

Yet.

He Jiu had already rushed to the front of the fleet to assist in defending the formation.

Lin Yan watching from the sidelines could only see a fool, "Truly foolish, courting death!"

Viper Commerce Association was at the forefront, facing the greatest danger, when the Great Palace Master and others couldn't hold on and retreated, how could a Middle Stage Golden Core survive?

Truly foolish!

Gongyang Fu, seeing the situation, was also anxious but dared not follow, only regretting he hadn't informed He Jiu about the Soul-Breaking Wave immediately.

"Fellow Daoist He, come back soon!"

Gongyang Fu attempted to transmit the sound.

But the transmission was quickly obliterated by the terrifying aura of the advancing Soul-Breaking Wave.

In the next moment.

Instantly, the Soul-Breaking Wave closed in, engulfing the entire fleet.

One of Viper Commerce Association's black ships protected by only seven or eight Early Stage Golden Core cultivators was obliterated instantaneously.

The Golden Core cultivators were wiped out, both form and spirit.

All who saw this were beyond fear, terror was bone-deep, yet there was nowhere to retreat.

It was when Du Yueqing and Master Witch were gripped by fear that a transmission suddenly entered Du Yueqing's mind.

"Return to your own ship."

Du Yueqing rejoiced.

Immediately transmitted the message to Master Witch and a few others beside him.

As Master Witch and others retreated, Viper Commerce Association, seeing them suddenly retreat, panicked and attempted retreat, but the next moment they were engulfed by the Soul-Breaking Wave.

The Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator of Viper Commerce Association, seeing this, was furious and anxious, in his wrath he even considered leaving Du Yueqing behind.

However.

Upon trying to strike, he was blasted into the Soul-Breaking Wave by Du Yueqing's attack Talisman Treasure.

At this moment, Master Witch also spotted He Jiu not far away, urgently attempted to transmit, "Retreat! Back to our ship!"

Yet.

He Jiu remained unmoved.

"Transmission blocked by the Soul-Breaking Wave!" Master Witch grew anxious.

Previously, those who could cultivate the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill were kept solely by the Celestial Splendor Treasure Pavilion, and we affiliates had difficulty accessing them.

For them to help cultivate the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill required immense costs.

Now he finally had a talent capable of cultivating the Medicinal Spirit Yin Pill, but faced the possibility of perishing under the Soul-Breaking Wave.

"Does the fellow not know what the Soul-Breaking Wave is?" Master Witch cursed, then remembered He Jiu's origin and was momentarily stumped.

At this point, he couldn't afford any concerns and retreated immediately.

Du Yueqing urged their retreat, clearly indicating the senior didn't plan to intervene on Viper Commerce Association's behalf.

If he retreated slowly.

If caught in the Soul-Breaking Wave, trouble would be inevitable.

Just as he re-boarded the black ship and as the entire fleet of Viper Commerce Association was engulfed, a massive wave of corpse qi surged from the cabin, fiercely protecting the black ship and blocking the Soul-Breaking Wave outside the corpse qi.

When the entire black ship was completely covered, obscuring any view of the outside, Master Witch, Du Yueqing, and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully there is the pavilion senior!

Moreover, the senior is a powerful Heterodox Corpse Cultivator, making handling this Soul-Breaking Wave no problem.

While Gongyang Fu and others were confused and stunned, Du Yueqing spoke, "Everyone return to your cabins and do not come out."

Gongyang Fu quickly asked, "Master Aunt, do we not need to maintain the formation?"

"Yes."

Du Yueqing nodded.

And then delivered a sentence to inspire joy.

"With the pavilion's Golden Core Perfection senior protecting us, there is no need for you to act."

As the words fell.

The Golden Core Zhenren and their family hurriedly offered gratitude.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators were so moved they shed tears.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Thank you, senior, for saving us!"

Yet amid gratitude, Gongyang Fu realized He Jiu hadn't returned, and his expression changed abruptly.

Beside him, Lin Yan let out a mocking chuckle, filled with scorn, "Trying to be helpful now, dying there instead.

Truly laughable!"

Gongyang Fu looked angrily at Lin Yan, but before retorting, he was scolded by Master Witch, "With the senior present, what manners is this?

He Jiu being dead is a certainty, there's no turning back, stop letting an outsider affect the bond among colleagues!"

Gongyang Fu felt like crying, helplessly sighed, and returned to the cabin.

Simultaneously, Wen Jiu paid no regard to what the people on the ship were doing, only kept a close watch on the Soul-Breaking Wave outside.

Because his Divine Sense detected that this covering Soul-Breaking Wave, while not fully attacking the black ship, was carrying it forward.

And the pace was increasing.

In an instant a hundred miles passed.

Moments later, a thousand miles.

Moreover, the speed was continuously increasing, as if there was no intention of stopping.

But just as Wen Jiu, with the black ship, broke through the Soul-Breaking Wave, it suddenly veered towards an area outside the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect's terrain.
