Chapter 476: Chapter 315: Subdued and Punished_2
On the Primordial Spirit Sword, Mu Yue’s voice had changed.
After seeing the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, her mind wavered in distraction, and she fell into complete despair.
As the holy object of the Desire Sect, Mu Yue knew all too well how formidable the defense of the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus was.
Although the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus in Su Jie’s hand now only had three petals, it had not matured to the full nine petals.
But under Su Jie’s control, given Mu Yue’s current state, there was no hope of breaking through it at all.
“Oh, your sect’s holy object?”
A contemplative look flashed in Su Jie’s eyes, but his actions were swift.
As he willed it, while the Primordial Spirit Sword was slightly entangled by the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, hundreds of thunders enveloped Mu Yue’s Primordial Spirit Sword.
Only the wails could be heard, as the divine skill of the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder, rooted in the Divine Soul, naturally could damage the sharp sword constructed by Mu Yue’s Primordial Spirit—and the damage was extremely severe.
In an instant, the Primordial Spirit Sword shattered in the middle, equivalent to tearing the Primordial Spirit in two, a fate a hundred times more painful than being cut at the waist.
“Was it you who planted the initial Nine-leaf Holy Lotus within the bounds of Ghost Ridge Palace? Did you want to utilise the Qingliu Earth Spirit River within Ghost Ridge Palace to allow the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus to truly mature, so you arranged for Yu Wenxian to infiltrate and spy on Ghost Ridge Palace?”
Su Jie made his conjecture, as more heavenly thunders continued to cover it.
“My sect will not let you go.”
Mu Yue’s torn Primordial Spirit could no longer maintain the sword form, her resentful eyes seething with towering hatred.
“Haha, you definitely won’t have the chance to see that day,” said Su Jie with a wave of his hand. Although Mu Yue did not respond, her lack of denial was, to some extent, confirmation of the accuracy of Su Jie’s conjecture.
As Su Jie waved his hand, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner unfurled, and Mu Yue’s fragmented Primordial Spirit couldn’t resist being sucked into it, adding another dozen or so majestic and formidable Ghost Generals inside the Soul Banner.
With this, Mu Yue, a powerful cultivator from the Secret Realm Fifth Level, fell at the hands of Su Jie.
The entire battle was exceptionally easy, and Su Jie did not have a single scratch on him after the fight.
The main reason was that Su Jie had strengthened his Primordial Spirit in the Tao River, while Mu Yue’s injuries had weakened her. The disparity in strength meant that the battle was a complete rout.
After collecting Mu Yue’s Storage Bag, Su Jie cleaned up the battlefield.
After finishing all this, Su Jie once again rode the thousand-hand centipede and returned to the canal on the north side of An Yue City.
As he flew over An Yue City, Su Jie could sense the covert and probing gazes of cultivators below.
These cultivators included Loose Cultivators, cultivators from noble families, and even those from the government’s Heavenly Patrol Department of the Da Li Dynasty, which was responsible for enforcing laws against demon beasts, Demon Cultivators, and ghosts. They all dared only to watch from a distance and did not dare to approach and intervene during the previous fight between Su Jie and Mu Yue.
Su Jie even sensed the presence of a Secret Realm aura among them, most probably one of the ancient family patriarchs or someone from the Heavenly Patrol Department.
However, this Secret Realm entity chose not to reveal itself, clearly not wishing to make an enemy of Su Jie.
Although everyone is responsible for fighting against Demon Cultivators, the reality is that without sufficient benefits, the risk is too high.
Only those new disciples who have just started might be naive enough to fight to the death against Demon Cultivators without due consideration. After suffering setbacks, most tend to become more calculating, understanding the principle of advancing or retreating according to the situation, seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
Su Jie did not go out of his way to kill and silence them; the commotion from the recent confrontation had almost the whole city of An Yue alerted.
Unless Su Jie committed a massacre, it would be near impossible to prevent the leak of information.
Upon landing back on the flower boat, Su Jie saw several bodies lying to one side; in the river, bodies surfaced and submerged, carried downstream by the currents—victims of collateral damage from those who had been on the boat before the battle, now dead.
On the flower boat, more female demon cultivators had been captured by Han Ruyan, their heads covered with red bridal veils, each of them rigid and motionless.
“Did you kill them?”
Han Ruyan stood at the prow, quietly watching Su Jie’s return.
“Killed. The Primordial Spirit has greatly bolstered the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.”
Su Jie reported the results of the battle and then turned his attention to the captives Han Ruyan had brought back.
What followed was naturally an interrogation.
Despite being female devil heads and demon cultivators, they couldn’t endure the excruciating pain of the Ten Thousand Insects Devouring Body much longer than the disciples of the Righteous sects could.
This pain, worse than death, made them only wish for a quick end, revealing everything they knew to Su Jie.
After the interrogation, there were no survivors aboard the flower boat.
Su Jie had already learned the information he wanted, and one could imagine the fate of these captives. Although they were beautiful women, Su Jie did not hesitate at all when he took action.
“Desire Sect, practicing Yang Absorption and Yin Supplementation, capturing talented cultivators as cauldrons for cultivation, an all-female cultivator’s Demon Sect, I think I understand why they came after me.”
From the interrogation, Su Jie learned the origins of these female demon cultivators. Connecting this with Yu Wenxian’s situation and the information about the Desire Sect, Su Jie had guessed why Yu Wenxian and the Desire Sect sought him out.
Clearly, it was the reputation of Su Jie’s Immortal Seed that had made the Desire Sect covet his body, wishing to abduct Su Jie to use as a cauldron for cultivation.
“Truly a group of female devils, so utterly cruel,” Su Jie lamented while standing amidst a pile of corpses.
“However, to think of making me into a cauldron, living off women might be pleasant, but being used by them until drained dry, that’s something I’ll pass on.”
Stretching lazily, Su Jie muttered to himself.
In Su Jie’s mind, such matters didn’t cause a ripple; as long as he was strong enough, it was yet to be seen who would capture whom.
Without staying any longer, Su Jie erased the traces of battle and then took off into the sky with his spoils of war. As he passed over An Yue City again, riding atop the thousand-hand centipede, he left behind a legend among the terrified and trembling viewers.
…
The night was like ink, fathomlessly deep, with the sky cloaked by thick clouds. Only occasionally did moonlight slip through the gaps, casting a silver gloss over the earth.
In the distance, the mountains undulated like ancient behemoths, quietly slumbering in the depths of the night.
But upon closer inspection, one of the peaks was not a mountain at all, but a horrifying Poisonous Centipede with hundreds of pale human hands and over a hundred meters long.
Su Jie, who had just left An Yue City, was sitting on the head of the thousand-hand centipede, with a red Top Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword named Red Refining Flame Light Sword on his knee.
This Flying Sword was on par with the White Bone Sky Slaying Sword. Once Su Jie finished refining it and erased the prohibitions left by Mu Yue, he thought it and the Red Refining Flame Light Sword flew out swiftly.
Wherever the sword passed, trees and boulders were successively pierced, and the trees it penetrated caught fire, turning into charcoal ash that scattered all around.
When the sword passed through the rocks, the solid stone turned into dripping magma, spreading everywhere, and a forest fire seemed imminent.
Woosh woosh!
The thousand-hand centipede beneath him fluttered its six pairs of wings, whipping up a fierce wind and water flow that extinguished the fire, leaving behind land smoldering with wisps of blue smoke.
“What a great sword!” Su Jie couldn’t help smiling. Mu Yue really was kind; this spoils of war pleased Su Jie immensely.

And that wasn’t all the Gold Coins Mu Yue had yielded. Along with the Red Refining Flame Light Sword, the various Spirit Stones and Materials Su Jie retrieved from Mu Yue’s Storage Bag were collectively worth a million Spirit Stones.
As a seasoned cultivator from the Secret Realm Fifth Level, Mu Yue’s wealth was clearly a notch above that of a typical cultivator from the Secret Realm and had given Su Jie the most Gold Coins.
“Hurry up and dig a hole, Xiao Qian, I’ll give you a boost,” commanded Su Jie as he patted the head of the thousand-hand centipede. Understanding Su Jie’s intentions, the excited centipede gave a screeching cry and took flight, quickly finding a suitable site and rapidly excavating a massive subterranean cavern—a hiding place large enough to shelter itself.
Once they were concealed underground, Su Jie was generous. He took out the Spirit Stones he just obtained from Mu Yue and fed them to the thousand-hand centipede, strengthening the creature’s last eyes and internal organs.
After this round of enhancements, every part of the thousand-hand centipede had been strengthened.
To talk of it, Su Jie had spent over three million Spirit Stones to enhance the thousand-hand centipede, but the increase in combat power brought about was so significant that even a Top Grade Seven Refinements poisonous insect might not be a match for it.
