Chapter 668: Xing’Er’s Whereabouts

Chapter 668 -665: Xing’Er’s Whereabouts

The Second Form of the Heaven-Dominating Saber Technique, Sweeping the Six Harmonies!

The saber light flashed, and a hundred Corpse Generals were obliterated, their bodies exploding into a bloody mist that filled the air.

It was a crushing display of power.

Jiang Jichen’s strength completely shocked the entire crowd into silence.

Just moments ago, the three Jiang Family Elders and the Old Emperor of the Celestial Pearl Country had said Jiang Jichen was no match for them and would surely die.

But now, they were all speechless.

Their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with terror.

“This… How is this possible?”

“It’s only been a few years. How did Jiang Jichen become so strong?”

“I don’t believe it. My eyes must be deceiving me…”

…

The people of Cyan Moon City had once seen Jiang Jichen escape the Celestial Pearl Country at the Innate Realm.

Now, only a few years later, he had returned, having grown so strong that they could only look up to him in awe.

And it wasn’t just the people of Cyan Moon City!

The two remaining Corpse Kings and the Tier One White-robed Corpse Saint also found it hard to believe.

“I have returned to find someone. If anything has happened to the people I’m looking for, then the Celestial Corpse Sect no longer needs to exist!”

Jiang Jichen spoke calmly, but his voice carried an undeniable authority.

“Arrogant! I’ll see for myself just how capable you are!”

The White-robed Corpse Saint suppressed the unease and fear in his heart.

As he spoke, the Saint-level Corpse Puppet behind him suddenly vanished.

The next moment, it reappeared behind Jiang Jichen, lunging in for the kill.

The Saint-level Corpse Puppet’s physical body was incredibly tough, having been refined with various precious defensive materials, making it extraordinary.

However, Jiang Jichen was faster. He struck second but landed first, sweeping Sinking Mountain across the Saint-level Corpse Puppet’s body.

CRACK!

With a single sound, the Saint-level Corpse Puppet shattered into pieces.

With the million-jin weight of Sinking Mountain, combined with Jiang Jichen’s power from the First Level of the Holy Body Realm, even a Saint-level Corpse Puppet couldn’t withstand a single blow from him.

“This…”

A single casual strike had shattered a Saint-level Corpse Puppet. Such offensive power was terrifying beyond measure.

‘Jiang Jichen… just how powerful is he?’ everyone wondered, a chill running down their spines.

But Jiang Jichen gave them no time to think. In a flash, he appeared beside the two Corpse Kings.

PFFT!

Without even using a Saber Technique, he simply swept Sinking Mountain across them, and the two Corpse Kings dissolved into a mist of blood.

But at that moment, the Tier One White-robed Corpse Saint attacked from behind.

He had been preparing his ultimate kill attack from the very beginning, and only now had he completed it.

“Gate of Hell, a Million Corpses Bow!”

The Tier One White-robed Corpse Saint roared as he unleashed his Ultimate Killing Technique. ℯℯ𝘭.

Instantly, a gate appeared behind Jiang Jichen.

Demons roamed within this gate amidst rivers of blood and mountains of bones. It formed a vortex that swirled murderously toward Jiang Jichen.

At that moment, ghostly winds howled and dark clouds gathered over Cyan Moon City, as if the entire place had transformed into a ghastly Hell.

However, Jiang Jichen simply turned and pointed a finger.

The first form of the Soul Destruction Finger: Cloud Disappearing, Rain Scattering!

At the point of his finger, the ghostly winds died, the dark clouds dispersed, and a Seven-Color light illuminated the world.

Beneath the Seven-Color radiance, the Demons, the rivers of blood, the mountains of corpses, and even the Gate of Hell itself were incinerated into ash, ceasing to exist.

“PFFFT!”

The Tier One White-robed Corpse Saint spat out a mouthful of blood. His Ultimate Killing Technique had been broken, and he suffered from the backlash.

At that moment, he didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately began to retreat.

He already knew he was no match for the young man before him.

‘We are both at the Saint First Realm, but in his eyes, what’s the difference between me and an ant?’

Unfortunately, his realization came too late.

The Soul-destroying Finger Light from Jiang Jichen’s attack hadn’t vanished. It tore through the void and shattered the Corpse Saint’s skull without warning.

SPLAT!

Then, Jiang Jichen flashed to his side and blew his body apart with a single punch.

This all happened in a few short moments, with extreme speed.

Even the Old Emperor and the others on the Imperial Palace platform hadn’t fully processed what had happened.

But Jiang Jichen had already taken a step onto the Imperial Palace grounds, appearing before the crowd.

There were Restrictions protecting the Imperial Palace, but they didn’t hinder Jiang Jichen in the slightest.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, it’s time to settle the score between us!”

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought swept across the Imperial Palace.

However, he didn’t find Xing’Er or the old housekeeper.

When the three Jiang Family Elders fled into the Imperial Palace, they hadn’t even brought the people of the Fifth Mansion with them.

Jiang Jichen’s expression turned incredibly grim.

Atop the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere grew extremely oppressive.

Everyone knew that a terrifying storm was about to break.

Jiang Jichen’s gaze fell upon the three Jiang Family Elders. He could also see many members of the Jiang Family’s First, Second, Third, and Fourth Mansions within the Imperial Palace.

But not a single person from his Fifth Mansion was here.

In fact, Jiang Jichen had seen that the servants of his Fifth Mansion had all been turned into Corpse Puppets—puppets he had just personally destroyed.

However, he hadn’t seen Xing’Er or the old housekeeper. Instead, he saw signs of a battle at the Fifth Mansion.

‘I thought Xing’Er and the old housekeeper had entered the Imperial Palace along with the other Jiang Family members.’

But they hadn’t!

Xing’Er and the old housekeeper’s whereabouts were unknown. He didn’t know if they were alive or dead.

“I came here looking for my personal handmaiden, Xing’Er, and my old housekeeper. You three Elders, do you happen to know where they are?”

Jiang Jichen asked, his voice low and heavy.

But everyone could feel the killing intent in his words.

The Jiang Family’s Second Elder Jiang Qingyun, as well as the Third and Fourth Elders, trembled uncontrollably under the pressure of Jiang Jichen’s terrifying Holy Dao aura.

They couldn’t muster a single shred of resistance.

‘Even the Tier One White-robed Corpse Saint was like a weak ant in Jiang Jichen’s eyes. We probably don’t even qualify as ants.’

“Brother Jichen, are you talking about Xing’Er and the old housekeeper? Back when the great change happened in Cyan Moon City, I rushed to your mansion to get them, but I found out that Sister Qingya had already taken them away!”

“They’re probably at Sister Qingya’s Flower Rain Sect right now!”

Qing Ling, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

In fact, in the seven or eight years since Jiang Jichen had left the Celestial Pearl Country, she had frequently visited the Jiang Mansion. Over time, she had become familiar with Xing’Er and the old housekeeper.

Eventually, the Jiang Family’s Fifth Mansion had practically become a second home to Qing Ling.

She had always hoped that the Brother Jichen she cherished would one day suddenly reappear.

Hearing Qing Ling’s words, Jiang Jichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

‘However, the Celestial Pearl Country has already been occupied by the Celestial Corpse Sect. I’m afraid they might not be safe even at the Flower Rain Sect.’

Therefore, he needed to hurry over there as soon as possible.

‘But before I go, there are some people I need to kill to set my mind at ease.’

“I don’t understand why you’ve always had it in for me. Why have you always wanted me dead?”

“I could have let the past go, but just now, you would rather have seen the Celestial Corpse Sect win than let me live. Is your hatred for me really that deep?”

“So be it. For those who wish me ill, I have only one solution: kill!”

Jiang Jichen’s voice rang out.

The three Jiang Family Elders actually knelt down at the same time, crying out, “Jichen, we were wrong! Please, spare us this once! After all, we are your uncles, and you are our nephew!”

“For the sake of our family ties, we beg you to spare our lives!”

The three Jiang Family Elders had clearly sensed Jiang Jichen’s killing intent. To save their own lives, they cast aside all dignity and knelt to beg for mercy.
