Chapter 3986: Chapter 3986: Not Worth Mentioning (Seventh Update)
Upon hearing this, the Divine People momentarily froze, their eyes suddenly bursting with light.
"My lord, I wish not to die, my apologies for offending you!"
At this moment, the Divine People suddenly revealed their hands hidden at their back, with pieces of dark green turtle shells in their palms. The turtle shells suddenly shattered, transforming into streaks of cold light shooting towards Ji Siqing.
Simultaneously, as the turtle shells shattered, information was transmitted from the resulting ripples, instantly enveloping the entire Yigu Pavilion. The subordinates of the Divine People in the pavilion immediately stood up, their gazes coldly fixed in Ji Siqing’s direction.
The Divine People’s move was meant to use the impact of the exploding turtle shells to stall Ji Siqing, while simultaneously sending out a warning for help to the subordinates, intending for them to come to his rescue.
However, the Divine People themselves did not hesitate at all, turning to flee, for they could see Ji Siqing’s prowess. Even if everyone from the Yigu Pavilion confronted Ji Siqing, it would be to no avail. He could only send a message to have the subordinates come, intending to use them as cannon fodder to buy some time for his escape.
At this moment, figures filled with immense aura and murderous intent rushed out from the various pavilions, intending to find Ji Siqing and make her understand the consequences of provoking the Yigu Pavilion.
Yet at this time, Ji Siqing easily blocked the exploding turtle shells casually thrown at him, immediately locking onto the fleeing figure of the Divine People.
"Trying to escape? Can you really escape?"
Ji Siqing’s eyes flashed with cold light, and the Glazed Divine Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with infinite divine light, seemingly transformed into the sun. The divine sword suddenly pierced through, illuminating the ancient heavens, and instantly appeared behind the Divine People, penetrating his body.
"Poof!"
Under the sky, the fleeing body of the Divine People abruptly halted, vomiting a mouthful of blood, unable to believe the large blood hole that had appeared in his chest.
"Impossible, I am wearing the Dragon Protection Armor, how could she pierce through it with just one sword..."
The Divine People’s eyes flickered with reluctance, yet endless despair surged within as his world darkened, and his vitality rapidly drained away...
"Thud!"
The cooling body of the Divine People thudded onto the ground as Ji Siqing approached him with a calm demeanor. The next moment, with a swing of the Glazed Divine Sword, a sword flower was carved onto the Divine People’s forehead.
This single stroke of the sword flower cleaved open flesh with exquisite craftsmanship, displaying masterful control of power to the pinnacle of mastery. A lifelike scarlet flower appeared on the Divine People’s forehead, neither overly bright nor excessively dull.
Witnessing Ji Siqing’s slaughter of the Divine People, the members of the Yigu Pavilion were already furious, and Ji Siqing carving a sword flower onto the Divine People’s forehead was an extreme humiliation.
"Demoness, you have committed heinous sins, unaware of your transgressions. You killed our pavilion owner and will incur the wrath of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Yes! The pavilion owner surveyed the Ten Thousand Realms on behalf of Heaven, and you killed him, committing a grave sin. You must atone with your life!"
"Kill this demoness! Her slaying of the pavilion owner desecrates heaven’s grace, she must die!"
At this moment, everyone in the Yigu Pavilion roared in anger, frenzied expressions with killing intent boiling, charging towards Ji Siqing.
Facing these people, Ji Siqing remained calm, her eyes showing no ripple of emotion.
"Come then, a rabble of weaklings, destroyed with just one sword!"
Ji Siqing sneered coldly in her heart, the Glazed Divine Sword danced, explosive cold light erupted, illuminating all heavens, tearing through the ancient aeons!
...
Two hours later, above the sky of the Yigu Pavilion, several figures approached from the end of the sea.
This group exuded an overwhelming presence, their attitudes aloof, especially the leader at the forefront, clad in luxurious attire, looking down at the Yigu Pavilion with disdainful eyes.
These people were the powerful beings stationed at Chenyue Sea for millennia by the Upper Realm Empress!
"Hmm, something’s wrong here, why is the aura of blood so thick here!"
At this moment, the leader’s long hair fluttered, her face changed sharply, focusing intently towards the depths of the Yigu Pavilion.
This leader, a subordinate of Xuan Jiyue, named Zhou Ling, received the Divine People’s message and knew how important the matter of the Samsara Master was to Xuan Jiyue, so she rushed over immediately, fearing any unexpected incidents.
Confronted with the dense aura of blood in the Yigu Pavilion, Zhou Ling focused her perception, while the expressions of those behind her also shifted.
"My lord, something has happened to the Yigu Pavilion."
At this moment, a gentlemanly-looking man in green shirt gently fanned a paper fan, pointed towards the direction of the Yigu Pavilion’s rear mountain, signaling Zhou Ling to have a look.
Responding to this, Zhou Ling immediately looked up and saw that the rear mountain was now stained red with blood. Resentment and blood aura lingered in the air, an evidently horrifying battle had occurred here, resulting in a massacre of the entire Yigu Pavilion!
"Who could it be!"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ling’s face looked terrible, immediately recalling the contact person from before. If that guy was dead, her trip would be in vain, and failure to handle this matter properly would provoke Xuan Jiyue’s wrath, ultimately leaving her in trouble.
Now, anxiously, Zhou Ling flew straight to the rear mountain of the Yigu Pavilion, spotted numerous corpses all lying on the ground, all killed in the same manner, by a single sword.
"Who did it, with such formidable power."
Even the gentleman in green, witnessing this, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling coldly glanced at the gentleman in green, then set her sight on the most conspicuous corpse among those on the ground.
What Zhou Ling looked at was the corpse of the Divine People who contacted her before. She also noticed the sword flower on the Divine People’s forehead, causing her heart to suddenly shake.
"This sword flower... I think I’ve seen it somewhere before."
Zhou Ling couldn’t help but mutter softly.
"Yes, I have an impression of it too, but what it exactly signifies, I’ve forgotten."
At this moment, the gentleman in green also nodded, then said, "Regardless of what it is, the presence of this sword flower here must hold some significance, we need to find a way to leave this sea area and take it back for the Empress to see."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded in agreement, acknowledging the wisdom of this man known as the strategist, indeed his brain did come in handy.
Then, Zhou Ling stared at the old face of the Divine People, her waist sword flew out on its own, making a direct cut across the Divine People’s forehead, skin and flesh instantly taken off, hanging onto the sword.
"Let’s go."
Watching the Divine People’s decapitated head, Zhou Ling showed a peculiar smile, then leapt into the air, summoning an ancient token, tearing through the Void to enter the channel.
Watching Zhou Ling’s departing figure, the gentleman in green and the accompanying individuals exchanged glances, involuntarily trembling, feeling a chill down their spine.
Zhou Ling was fine in everything, except for one quirk: she liked studying the dead, treating them as materials for carving and painting. This peculiar hobby often invited whispers behind her back.
However, all this paled in comparison to matters concerning the Empress.
