Chapter 363: Our Holy Maiden Is Already at the First Level of the Golden Core? (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The old woman did not go to see the Holy Maiden in Qinghe County first. Instead, she brought a group of people and carefully and vigilantly arrived at the huge pit.
As her spiritual sense swept past, she keenly discovered that there was a corpse in the ground.
When she used some means to bring that corpse up, the old woman and the other Spirit Sword Sect’s Golden Core elders’ expressions became especially interested.
They looked at the distorted face on the corpse in disbelief.
Even though the expression on that face was especially distorted, they still recognized the identity of this corpse.
This was their Spirit Sword Sect’s Enforcement Elder!
“This is Senior Brother Tie!” A Golden Core stage Spirit Sword Sect elder’s eyes were wide open, and his tone was filled with disbelief and indescribable anger. “He… he actually died here?!”
A Golden Core stage Immortal cultivator was also very precious to a large-scale Immortal cultivation sect like the Spirit Sword Sect.
Not to mention that this Golden Core stage Immortal cultivator was already at the half-step Nascent Soul stage.
It might only take one to two hundred years to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Enforcement Elder actually died outside the Spirit Sword Sect!
Moreover, the place where he died was not particularly far from the Spirit Sword Sect.
In other words…
It was their Spirit Sword Sect’s Enforcement Elder who was killed by an unknown enemy right under their noses!
“There’s a terrifying demonic aura remaining here. It must be a great demon who attacked Senior Brother Tie!” another Golden Core stage elder said. Gritting his teeth, he added, “That big demon is definitely in the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill Senior Brother Tie!”
“Damn it! How dare that demon do this?”
“Even if we have to turn the surrounding thousands of miles upside down, we must find that demon!”
“…”
Listening to these Spirit Sword Sect elders’ indignant words, as one of the Supreme Elders, the old woman restrained the ugly expression on her face.
She slowly took a deep breath as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart. Therefore, her tone was very stiff as she spoke. “Do any of you know why Junior Brother Tie would appear here? Based on my understanding of Junior Brother Tie, he rarely leaves the Spirit Sword Sect.”
This question instantly silenced the scene, and all the elders of the Spirit Sword Sect looked at each other in dismay. However, none of them could give a definite answer.
Obviously, they didn’t know why Elder Tie would appear here.
Logically speaking, as an Enforcement Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, he should be overseeing the sect!
The old woman who did not receive a reply did not say anything to this group of ordinary elders. She summoned a bell-shaped spirit tool and slowly shook it at Elder Tie’s corpse lying on the ground.
The crisp sound of the bell seemed to be able to directly connect to a person’s soul.
However, the corpse lying on the ground did not have any reaction.
The old woman frowned. “It’s close to being destroyed in body and soul.”
This short sentence made everyone present suck in a breath of cold air.
They all understood what this sentence meant.
Elder Tie’s soul had been destroyed!
The old woman carefully looked at Elder Tie’s corpse, as if she did not want to miss any details, her frown deepened. “Junior Brother Tie almost didn’t have any ability to resist. It seems that he was killed by that unknown demon in one strike. With one casual strike, he almost destroyed Junior Brother Tie’s body and soul. He was at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage!”
Fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage?!
Everyone present almost suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
A Golden Core elder could not help but ask, “Is that demon really at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage?”
The old woman nodded. “He’s at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.”
Everyone was silent.
If it really was such a terrifying demon, then for their Spirit Sword Sect, it was also a powerful enemy that they had never encountered before.
Even if they gathered the entire strength of the Spirit Sword Sect, it was likely that they would only be able to contend with that great demon.
As for who would live and who would die in a fight to the death.
That was really something that was uncertain.
This…
Why would Elder Tie offend such a terrifying demon? Why had he never heard of such a terrifying demon? Moreover, the other party was actually not far away from the Spirit Sword Sect, near Qinghe County!
This, this, this… Did this mean that their Spirit Sword Sect had already stayed under the same roof with a great demon for a very long time?
They were all dumbfounded!
In the end, it was still the old woman who was the Supreme Elder, she broke this deathly silence. “There’s no need to panic. I can’t sense the existence of that demon, which means that that demon might have already left. Unless he has some secret technique that can hide my senses, but the possibility is not high.”
“The other party is a demon after all. After his identity and hiding place are exposed, he will naturally think of a way to find another hiding place. After all, the other party is only one person. The other party will also be worried about being hunted down by the entire Orthodox cultivation world.”
The old woman’s words made their hearts slightly calm. At the same time, the old woman continued, “I sensed the Holy Maiden’s aura in Qinghe County. The Holy Maiden is also in Qinghe County.”
“Perhaps, she knows something! Take Junior Brother Tie’s body and bring it back to the Spirit Sword Sect to be buried.”
Chen Qianxue’s spirit talisman that concealed her aura had long lost its effect. In the eyes of the old woman, her aura was like a demonic beast mixed in with the crowd. It was very eye-catching.
