Chapter 176: Dual Cultivation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Master, you and Madam were gone for so long; your disciple was worried.” The little girl, Ye Banzhuang, cuddled up in his palm, paying respects to both
Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu.
“Do you doubt your master’s strength?”
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Ye Banzhuang blinked and said, “Being near the river often, one’s shoes will inevitably get wet. It’s not the thousands I fear, but the off chance of that one time… Ah-”
She didn’t finish her sentence as Lu Xuan flicked her forehead.
Lu Xuan thought she was cursing him. Ye Banzhuang, a naturally born spiritual being with a special nature, could bring misfortune to someone without using
any magical powers or curses. Thankfully, Lu Xuan was lucky enough, and
considering Ye Banzhuang’s age, it was not something to be taken seriously.
“By the way, why are you still in Shattered Cloud City? Hasn’t the flying boat competition started yet?”
Lu Xuan inquired.
“I postponed the final round to wait for you, Master,” Ye Banzhu giggled. “Shall we start in three days?”
“Three days should be enough,” Lu Xuan nodded.
The flying boat competition wasn’t held in Shattered Cloud City but in Cloud Ocean City, located on the border of the Demon Immortal Nation. The initial rule of the competition was that only flying boats were allowed, but later it was changed to any transportation tool, whether a treasure chariot, a flying boat, or even a flying sword, as long as they were powered by demon crystals provided by the organizing committee. Moreover, the engraved arrays on the flying boats could only be composed of thirty-six basic array patterns, without any additional array lines.
“By the way, what about that Prince of the Eastern Sea?”
Lu Xuan suddenly remembered someone.
“He’s still staying in the capital,” Ye Banzhu replied. “After you left, his protector caught the two who attacked the prince. Ao Sheng wasn’t hurt much.”
“Did the interrogation reveal anything?”
Lu Xuan asked.
Ye Banzhu shook her head, frowning as she mentioned it, “The two people died during the interrogation.” “Died? How?”
Lu Xuan was taken aback.
“The interrogation was conducted by that turtle spirit, but I was there too. After all, it involved an assassination attempt on the Prince of the Eastern Sea in the Demon Immortal Nation, and I couldn’t ignore it,” Ye Banzhu explained. “Those two were elders of third-rate sects. Although not from the same sect, they were close. They knew about the Nine Heavens Map on Ao Sheng and came to seize it for a great opportunity.”
She continued, “The Nine Heavens Map is a divine painting by the Painting Saint MO Bao. Observing this painting can strengthen one’s soul, even beneficial for Integration Realm cultivators. Normally, no one would destroy such a painting, let alone know about the opportunity hidden within it. This secret is so well-hidden that even great masters of the Dao of Painting don’t know about it. The fact that two Nascent Soul cultivators were so well-informed clearly indicates a problem. But before they could answer my questions, their souls burned up and were completely destroyed in an instant.”
“Did they trigger some sort of prohibition?”
Lu Xuan speculated thoughtfully.
“That must be the case,” Ye Banzhuang nodded. “And whoever set up that prohibition is very powerful. The speed at which their souls were destroyed was so fast that even I couldn’t stop it.”
This was what worried Ye Banzhuang the most. She was well aware of her own strength. If a prohibition could destroy souls so quickly that even she couldn’t intervene, the mastermind behind these two individuals coming to the Demon Immortal Nation was likely extraordinary..freewebno(v)el
