Chapter 299: Chapter 135: The Nirvana Corpse Awakens, the Departed Return! The Entire Wutong Prefecture Is Shaken!

Bang!

A fierce killing intent swept across the eaves of the bluestone courtyard.

Zhang Xuan Sect, squatting there with Skull Buddhist Beads around his neck, rolled into the grass pile below. In an instant, his rain-soaked cloak became filthy and worn.

"The Concealing Technique of our Dragon Elephant Esoteric Sect can reduce the fluctuations of blood and True Qi to the lowest, like a corpse sealed in an ice coffin, without any breathing signs."

"The Hidden Blood Concealment Method boasts that as long as one reaches the Great Innate, stepping into the ’Vajra Impermeable Body’, they can completely hide the signs of demon blood within, even a Primordial Pill Master cannot detect it..."

"Is this girl a bloodhound or something?"

Zhang Xuan Sect’s expression turned grim, secretly thinking, ’This is bad.’

This time, blinded by the allure of fortune, upon discovering the countless ties between Jixia and the former Song Chai Xin, and noticing she possessed ’Demon Suppression Dao Qi’, without even breaking through to the Primordial Pill Realm,

He, from the Dragon Elephant Esoteric Sect, who had only heard of the turmoil back then, suddenly felt lost.

If he could take away such a great opportunity, or even hand it over to the Esoteric Sect.

At that time, even the Sect Leader might be moved by it, and the wondrous methods, treasures, and status of the Esoteric Sect would surely be all his.

Therefore, after receiving the information from the branch of the Profound Dragon Bai Clan planted in Black Mountain City, Zhang Xuan Sect made up his mind, then instigated Ji Han, intending to absolutely kill ’Jixia’ here.

In fact, what he said wasn’t entirely wrong.

Because, according to fragmented ancient scrolls, there are indeed all kinds of miraculous occurrences like ’Rebirth by Possession’ and ’Revival through Borrowed Body’, which indeed erase the memory of the former vessel.

However,

Such Secret Techniques have long been lost for several hundred years since the end of the Grotto Heaven Era.

This half-truth managed to briefly trick that lad Ji Han, making him believe the plan would proceed as expected, but unexpectedly, there were two variables.

One was Ji Han, who hesitated at the final critical moment, doubting his words.

The other was this Great Snow Mountain heir from the Demon Ancestral Court, whose identity had been exposed by Xuanqing Demon Monarch’s son, Ancient Celestial Heaven—Yousu Yue!

This girl had a genuine Primordial Pill Realm cultivation, truly a prodigious figure, not to be underestimated.

And alongside her, there was Jixia, who battled fiercely against the Primordial Pill and showed no weakness...

Once exposed, knowing he was outmatched, Zhang Xuan Sect made a decisive move, pulling off the string of ’Skull Buddhist Beads’ hanging around his neck, then using a blood bead on his fingertip to silently chant a secret incantation, and threw it out!

As it was cold and the rain had subsided, the mist lingered in Black Mountain City.

The Skull Buddhist Beads, each the size of a fist, a total of nine pieces, upon being thrown out, spewed dense ’black blood’, seemingly highly corrosive.

Among them, four were hurled towards Yousu Yue, and the remaining five towards Jixia. Then without hesitation, Zhang Xuan Sect fled:

"Cultivate my Dragon Elephant Technique, there’s no return from the sea of suffering!"

"Ji Han..."

"Even if I can’t take you today, one day, other Dragon Elephant Chiefs, Secret Masters, Lords, or even the Sect Leader... will bring you into the ’Dragon Elephant Secret Land’!"

"Since you cling to the mundane world, it’s hard for you to enter our Buddhist Sect. This person invaded your brother’s body, using his form to cultivate, otherwise, how could Martial Dao progress so rapidly in less than half a year?"

"Don’t let him deceive you; I am risking myself to rid you of harm!!"

The voice grew distant, as Zhang Xuan Sect leaped high, traversing through alleys, choosing only the most rugged and muddy paths, while concealing his presence to the utmost.

Yousu Yue’s sword edge cleaved a long rainbow, slicing the four beads, annihilating the black blood within.

However, a mass of darkness, capable of affecting Martial Dao Divine Thought, ’Resentful Ghostly Shadow’, emerged, morphing into ghost faces, pouncing forward!

Yousu Yue’s expression changed, halting to take it seriously:

"Be careful, these beads might harm the Divine Thought in the ’Mud Ball Palace’, possibly even affecting the Primordial Pill!"

Her words were not yet finished.

Jixia had already blocked in front of Ji Han, his gaze calm, fist lashing like a dragon, blood boiling over his entire body like a ’furnace’, appearing as a rising sun in the silent night, enveloped in blazing flame.

He foci on the Great Demon Hunter Statue, with ’True Qi and blood’ infused in his fist, delivering five consecutive punches, smashing through the five ’Skull Buddhist Beads’, causing the ’ghostly shadows’ within to erupt, lunging towards him!

But, Jixia merely widened his eagle-like sharp eyes, and with ’Demon Suppression’ Qi, directly purified the several resentful energies pulled from ’living beings’!

Watching those intermittent ghostly shadows incinerated entirely under Jixia’s ’fiery as the sun’ scorching fist intent, vanishing inch by inch.

Yousu Yue paused, glanced back, realizing that despite being in the Great Innate Realm, he handled such mystical techniques much more effortlessly compared to herself. Her understanding of Jixia’s skills became much clearer at this moment.

"Who is he?"

With hands behind his back, gazing at the departing Zhang Xuan Sect, Jixia asked Ji Han beside him without turning back.

Instantly, Ji Han voluntarily recounted the entire ’course of events’, explaining every detail.

"So, it’s the disaster brought upon by changing one’s demon blood in Black Mountain..."

"One of the six branches of the Divine Blood Sect, Dragon Elephant Esoteric Sect, huh."

Jixia had a very poor impression of the Divine Blood Sect.

Therefore, upon hearing the name ’Zhang Xuan Sect’, his brow instantly turned cold.

"From today onward, you’ll move to live in the Inner City, at the ’Xie Mansion’."
