Chapter 428: Chapter 222: Heart of the Soul Artifact, Daoist Wei’s Overwhelming Victory

Sure, here is the translation of the text:

"Thirty chests!"

Feng Jue’s expression tightened.

How much could that be?

Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and transmitted, "Each chest contains thirty Tier Two Lower Grade spiritual medicines."

"So many!"

Feng Jue was both surprised and delighted.

"We’ll divide them after we return. For now, put a restriction on the storage bag and give it to me." Wen Jiu transmitted again.

Feng Jue hesitated for a moment, initially wanting to inquire, but immediately realized something, "Brother Han, you’re not planning to..."

"Hurry up."

Wen Jiu urged.

Feng Jue didn’t hesitate and didn’t place any restriction since the storage bag itself could block Divine Sense from probing. Regardless of whether Han Li had the ability to break an owned storage bag, he trusted Han Li unconditionally.

"You’re really bold." Wen Jiu couldn’t help but comment, though he understood Feng Jue’s intention.

Feng Jue chuckled.

Without replying.

In the next moment.

East Spring Undying Bone performed a Blood Corpse Escape and left directly, once again using Three Rivers Ghost Concealment to transform into a Yin Soul and depart.

At this point, the impact of the Soul Talisman had gradually dissipated, but the residual violent soul power remained in the world. Wen Jiu controlled East Spring Undying Bone Divine Sense to sweep over it, feeling like jumping naked into molten lava.

Left without a choice, Wen Jiu had to retract East Spring Undying Bone’s Divine Sense and only dared to probe deeper using the Three Souls Flawless Soul Power Cauldron.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s Divine Sense were to probe into it, it would be torn apart in an instant. If they directly faced a Soul Talisman’s attack, even a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator’s soul would be severely injured.

After East Spring Undying Bone borrowed his Three Souls Flawless Secret Technique, the divided soul was strengthened, and naturally, the Divine Sense reached an extremely resilient degree. Probing within, it was like a fish in water, without any abnormality.

After probing with Divine Sense, the battle situation was fully visible. Although the cultivators in the Flying Ship fleet were one or two thousand feet away, they were still affected, and their souls were wounded. Those below Foundation Establishment’s soul shattered on the spot.

Though not fatal, they could only live as a fool for the rest of their lives.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators fared no better; except for the two artifact and soul cultivators, the others suffered severe soul damage from this strike, with three souls and seven spirits mostly shattered, and had fainted without rising.

Death might not be the outcome, but having their cultivation advance further was no longer possible. Repairing the three souls and seven spirits would take at least ten to twenty years. During this period, being able to display sixty to seventy percent of their cultivation would be a miracle.

But Wen Jiu quickly discovered that the survival of their souls mostly depended on the Black Wood Spiritual Artifact of the artifact cultivator. Without its protection, probably no one’s three souls and seven spirits could have been preserved.

At this moment, the Black Wood Spiritual Artifact was already shattered under the Soul Talisman, the artifact cultivator forced to stand firm on the spot, their aura weakening to near extinction despite having a protective treasure, obviously their soul was not lightly wounded.

As for Gu Qiao and others, their situation was much better than Daoist Wei’s group’s cultivators because the soul cultivator actually helped Gu Qiao block most of the Soul Talisman’s impact. Though affected by the Soul Talisman, at least not as badly as the others.

As for the One-Eyed Armless Ghost King, his aura was everywhere, obviously shattered by the Soul Talisman.

"Such a pity."

Wen Jiu couldn’t help but lament aloud.

It was just at this moment, Tu Qing, unaffected by the Soul Talisman, took out a Communication Stone to report the battle situation.

Xu Qi did the same within the protective treasure.

Knowing that apart from Xu Qi, the artifact cultivator still standing, all others had fallen, Vice City Lord Lin was overjoyed, his previous displeasure vanishing entirely, but the killing intent remained, and he immediately transmitted.

"Kill them all, it doesn’t matter if it’s a loss to Wind and Cloud Immortal City; as always, no matter how many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators die, Wind and Cloud Immortal City remains Wind and Cloud Immortal City." Vice City Lord Lin spoke frantically.

Meanwhile, in the Hidden Pavilion, Daoist Wei lost control on the spot, the Communication Stone in his hand shattering with a crack. Upon learning from Xu Qi that the soul cultivator still refused to stop, Daoist Wei loudly called for retreat.

As for the others.

Since it couldn’t be saved, then it wouldn’t be.

Even if the heart was bleeding.

Yet it was to no avail.

Beauty Ji and others had already fallen by Tu Qing’s hand, and Xu Qi, the artifact cultivator painstakingly courted, couldn’t afford another slip-up, keep the green hills, and never worry about having no wood to burn, another ten years.

Another ten years.

He still had a chance.

Following Xu Qi’s transmission, the remaining three parts of Xu Qi’s battle spirit scattered two parts, immediately taking out an Escape Talisman.

"Not good, he’s trying to escape!"

Gu Qiao exclaimed in shock.

Qu Tianhao didn’t care about his soul’s wounds, swallowed two Healing Elixir Pills, and charged towards Xu Qi. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Just as Xu Qi was about to activate the Escape Talisman, Tu Qing, who was supposed to pursue, suddenly stopped, his triumphant smile instantly transforming into terror, a piercing scream escaping before he could even take a step.

At the sound, everyone looked, only to see a ghost creature appear behind Tu Qing at some point, restraining him instantly, then raising an overwhelming ghost aura to envelop a hundred feet of space, even Xu Qi’s Divine Sense unable to penetrate it.

In just ten breaths.

Tu Qing was motionless.

When the ghost creature moved again, the nearest target was Qu Tianhao, who originally used an Escape Technique to flee but hadn’t managed to do so, getting enveloped. His struggle was even shorter than Tu Qing’s, yielding no movement in five breaths.

At this moment.

Gu Qiao and others were instantly terrified.

"Escape!"

Gu Qiao exclaimed.

The next moment, masses of ghost aura emerged to envelop him, beyond the ghost aura, nothing could be sensed.

But within the ghost aura, he immediately felt the Soul Capturing Power and heard the ghost creature’s transmission.
