Chapter 216 -214 The Soul-devouring Demon’s Soul Inquiry
“Demons Breaking and Disintegration!”
Just as the Azure Dragon Spear was about to strike, the Soul-devouring Demon suddenly let out a ferocious yell, and his body rapidly transformed into countless particles, disappearing before one’s very eyes!
Demons Breaking and Disintegration—a special ability acquired after cultivating the Soul Devouring Demon Technique to the Transformation Realm. It not only allowed instant escape but even short-range instant teleportation!
Such was the ability of a Nascent Soul Old Monster.
“Whoosh!”
The body of the Soul-devouring Demon reappeared dozens of yards away, his face grave, the distance just enough to escape the range of the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation.
Ning Daoran inwardly cursed his bad luck and swiftly conjured several spells, retracting the Array Flags and Array Plate of the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation.
“Tsk tsk ~~”
The Soul-devouring Demon recognized him: “I wondered who it was, turns out to be Fellow Daoist Jianjia… It’s been many years, and yet Fellow Daoist has successfully undergone Core Formation, truly a joyous occasion. Fellow Daoist attacking me today, could it be that you’ve grown bored of life right after advancing to the Golden Core?”
“Not at all.”
Ning Daoran responded politely with a fist and palm salute, smiling, “Senior, there are too many people here, restrictive for a proper exchange. How about we find another location? I’d like to have a good learning session and seek guidance from you!”
“That suits me perfectly!”
A chilling intent flickered in the eyes of the Soul-devouring Demon as he placed his hands behind his back, his entire being erupting with the power of the Soul Devouring Demon Technique. He instantly turned into a dense tunneling light and left the Divine Weapon Sect, heading straight for the back mountains of the Red Leaf Valley.
“Fellow Daoist, you…”
Mo Shaoting, holding his drooping arm, looked at Ning Daoran with eyes full of shock.
“I will hold off the Soul-devouring Demon; the rest is up to your Divine Weapon Sect,” Ning Daoran said. Then, he too lifted the Azure Dragon Spear, soared upward, and chased after the Soul-devouring Demon.
…
Hundreds of miles away in the back mountains.
Snowflakes drifted about, encompassing the world in a layer of snowy veil.
Ahead, the aura of the Soul-devouring Demon had terrifying changes. The instant his body turned, the surroundings for dozens of miles were stained with blood, the space sizzled with noise, and the landscape of the Transformation Realm Level Soul Devouring Demon Technique was incredibly alarming.
Suddenly, four blood-red claws emerged from thin air, barreling straight toward Ning Daoran—the opposite party had started hostilities without a single word!
“Soul Devouring Demon Technique?”
Ning Daoran smiled lightly, stepping on the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique, his body wrapped in a layer of gold, and nimbly rolled in the air like a swift fish, artfully dodging all four blood claws.
At the same time, he raised the Azure Dragon Spear, infusing it with the power of twenty layers of the Evergreen Technique. Two azure spear radiances crisscrossed and shattered all four blood claws!
“Such profound power of the Evergreen Technique…” the Soul-devouring Demon exclaimed: “It’s indeed rare for Fellow Daoist to have such cultivation; why so recklessly insist on being an enemy to me? Do you really believe you can defy the odds, winning as an Early Stage Golden Core against a Late Stage Golden Core?”
Ning Daoran didn’t speak.

“Fellow Daoist, why don’t you speak?”
The figure of the Soul-devouring Demon seemed somewhat vacuous, his spiritual power flickering unstably, unable to be locked down, and impossible to be caught in an array for capture.
This Soul-devouring Demon was a sly old fox by nature, extraordinarily cautious. After witnessing Ning Daoran’s capabilities, he would never face off against him within an array.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a streak of blood rapidly fell from the sky!
Indeed, just as Ning Daoran had predicted, if it wasn’t for a sneak attack, it wouldn’t be his style. The old demon was trying the same trick again, using the movement of the Soul Devouring Demon Technique’s dark clouds as cover, coupled with the distraction of conversation, to launch another sneak attack with the Soul-locking Bell!
But Ning Daoran was not Mo Yunting; his Divine Soul and vigilance far exceeded those of Mo Yunting!
“Arise!”
The brilliance of the Chi Long Ding surged as Ning Daoran pushed it forward. In an instant, it transformed into a cauldron wall covering dozens of yards, soaring into the sky!
With a clang, sparks flew in all directions as the Soul-locking Bell, which fell from the sky, struck the cauldron wall of the Chi Long Ding, gaining no advantage and instead, was buzzed by the solid wall, losing some of its spirituality.
“Chi Long Ding?!”
The Soul-devouring Demon’s eyes grew more ferocious: “Fellow Daoist is indeed fortunate to carry such a secret treasure. Wonderful, this Chi Long Ding is now mine!”
Saying so, the Soul-devouring Demon sacrificed several top-grade spiritual tools, stretched out his arms, and in an instant, his Soul Devouring Demon Technique erupted, altering the colors of dozens of miles, as innumerable ghosts and demons materialized, swarming towards Ning Daoran!
The Soul Devouring Demon Technique, heavy with Evil Qi, had become even more terrifying after reaching the Transformation Realm.
Ning Daoran frantically operated the Evergreen Technique. For a time, not only was there a blood color in the world, but there was also an added half of azure, the two colors reflecting off one another.
He shook the Azure Dragon Spear, releasing the extreme Silver Dragon Spear Technique. After infusing it with frenzied mana, the Azure Dragon Spear emitted a spear radiance of over a hundred yards, slashing towards the Soul-devouring Demon in the air!
“Good move!”
The Soul-devouring Demon laughed heartily, clapped his hands together, and with the support of spiritual tools, dissipated the spear radiance with his Soul Devouring Demon Technique.
“Fellow Daoist, try my Ghost Control Plate!”
With his palms open, the Ghost Control Plate appeared once again, and at once, several Golden Core Ghosts rushed out to kill!
Dealing with these Fierce Ghosts, the True Yang Furnace Technique would actually be most suitable.
However, the True Yang Furnace Technique is a secret skill of the Chaotic Sect, and once Ning Daoran used it, he could possibly reveal his identity, and today he didn’t have complete confidence in killing the Soul-devouring Demon, so he didn’t wish to bring any trouble to his junior sister.
So, he gently lifted his hand and instantly threw out three Class A Paperfolk, all of whom had the abundant figures of fair-skinned young wives, extremely alluring.
Class A Paperfolk, with forty percent of his strength, were enough to hold back these Golden Core Ghosts!
“Hmph!”
The Soul-devouring Demon frowned and continued to engage in battle using his Spiritual Artifact and the Soul Devouring Demon Technique. The smile on his face was diminishing, and he realized that his opponent was extremely tricky.
Ning Daoran had the same thought; the Soul-devouring Demon was too cunning. Once he set up an Array, the demon would break free from it and leave, not giving him the chance to kill him within the Array. Thus, if he couldn’t set up the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, the power of the Golden Silk Sword and the Liangyi Sword Technique would be greatly reduced, making it even more difficult to kill this old Golden Core!
In some ways, this old fox, the Soul-devouring Demon, was far more difficult to kill than the Gold Core Late Stage Feng Valley White Sheep from Five Saints Sect back in the day!
Dozens of rounds later.
“Boom—”
A streak of blood descended from the sky, the Soul-devouring Demon repeated his old trick, once again initiating a surprise attack with the Soul-locking Bell.
Ning Daoran frowned; he didn’t believe this old fox would use the same method; this time it had to be different.
So, just as he was about to bring out the Chi Long Ding, he suddenly pointed his long spear upwards, and instantly countless green vines surged into the sky, conjuring more than thirty layers of Wood Attribute barrier walls with the Evergreen Technique.
“Dang!”
Sparks flew everywhere, and just as Ning Daoran had anticipated, the Soul-locking Bell split open upon impact, transforming into four large bells that flew out in four directions, followed by the sharp ringing sound of “Ling Ling Ling.”
Using a demonic sound to disrupt the enemy and intimidate the Divine Soul was another tactic of the Soul-locking Bell.
Ning Daoran had already experienced it in the Feixing Secret Realm, so he was prepared for it.
For a time, sound wave attacks generated by the Soul-locking Bell pressed in from all directions but were blocked by the barrier wall formed by the Evergreen Technique Power. Although the barrier wall kept tumbling and shattering, new walls were constantly emerging, inexhaustible.
“Whoosh!”
Ning Daoran plummeted straight down, propelling the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique to its peak, and in an instant, he had rushed in front of the Soul-devouring Demon, sending the Azure Dragon Spear straight out with a furious thunderous sound!
Secret Manual: Silver Dragon Emerges from the Sea!
“You…”
The Soul-devouring Demon tensed up slightly and hastily conjured a Ghost Face Shield, which with a “Pong” noise fended off the Spear Radiance, but the demon himself did not have an easy time, retreating again and again.
“Not good!”
The Soul-devouring Demon’s sixth sense clanged within him, encompassed by a sense of crisis between life and death!
He swiftly performed a spell, crashing straight down onto the earth, and when he looked up, he saw a slash of blood-colored silk thread crossing the sky, just barely missing to decapitate him!
“Another Magical Treasure?!”
The Soul-devouring Demon frowned; this kid really had a lot of treasures, today was doomed not to spare him.
“They are all mine!”
He suddenly descended from the sky, spreading his palm, several dozen-feet-long giant blood-colored claws extended, directly grabbing at the Spirit Cage Silk in the sky, intending to collect this treasure into his bag.
Ning Daoran waved his long spear in his right hand, disintegrating the Dharma Image of the Soul Devouring Demon Technique with Spear Radiance infused with Evergreen Technique Power, while at the same time, with a light hook of his left hand, the Spirit Cage Silk weaved into a large net in mid-air, descending from the sky and heading straight for the Soul-devouring Demon.
This old fox being so cunning, killing him could only be done the hard way, with speed!
“Heh!”
The Soul-devouring Demon’s expression turned ferocious, and the moment he leaped from the ground, a Blood-colored Turtle Shell flew out of his Storage Bag. In an instant, the turtle shell swiftly expanded, not only blocking the Spirit Cage Silk’s attack but also causing Ning Daoran’s Spear Radiance to clang uselessly upon the shell, unable to harm it at all!
What a Soul-devouring Demon, this was already the third Magic Treasure Level treasure he had brought out!
No wonder he had managed to escape from the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Level Demon Beast back in the day, this man was indeed quite extraordinary, and among Golden Core practitioners of the Human World, he absolutely was one of the top experts!
Ning Daoran had always felt his arts were exquisite, unrivaled at the same level, but upon encountering the Soul-devouring Demon, he felt somewhat powerless.
The demon’s Demons Breaking and Disintegration perfectly countered Array Formation Restrictions; with the Soul-devouring Demon’s cunning, he would definitely not fight within the Array. Therefore, attempting a direct kill was too difficult!
The disparity between two levels was imaginable.
At this moment, the Soul-devouring Demon was also feeling anxious; he had never expected this opponent to be so tough to kill. Originally, he planned to slaughter him within half a cup of tea’s time, then turn back to end the grand battle in Red Leaf Valley.
Once he took control of Red Leaf Valley, his Soul Devouring Sect could once again secure its footing in Qingzhou. After all, both being Human Clan Sects, he presumed the Qingzhou Cultivation World would accommodate him.
But now he couldn’t extricate himself for the time being, making the battle in Red Leaf Valley uncertain.
He could only take the disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refinement Realm with him this time, leaving the only Golden Core fellow Daoist to defend the lair. If he were not present, the group from the Soul Devouring Sect may not indeed be able to take down Red Leaf Valley, especially since Mo Shaoting, although severely injured, hadn’t died yet, and he was a genuine Golden Core!
He must end the battle quickly to avoid further complications!
The Soul-devouring Demon thought of this, suddenly leaped into the sky, and as the light in his hand flashed, the Soul-locking Bell descended from the sky, directly smashing one of the spiritually exhausted Paperfolk!
“Buzz~~~”
The young wife’s head exploded upon impact, quickly turning into a shattered Paperfolk. At the same time, a strand of Divine Soul flew towards Ning Daoran.
“Eh?”
The Soul-devouring Demon suddenly raised his hand, capturing the Soul with the Soul-locking Bell, and as he observed the Divine Soul for a moment, his body trembled violently, and he turned around in rage, “You… just who are you? Were you also there in the Cangnan Secret Realm that year? Did my direct disciple, Lin Chi, die by your hands?!”
