Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 550: Chapter 73: Demon Sect Saintess

Everyone present couldn’t help but feel wary.

Shen Changchuan felt a sense of dread as well.

After all,

the Xiangshan Sect,

had been a great and illustrious Sect three hundred years ago.

It was overseen by three Profound Pill Realm Zhenren, and the number of Divine Travel Realm cultivators was simply uncountable!

The former ruins of such a powerful Sect,

were not just appealing to Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators like them,

but would likely be immensely attractive even to those in the Divine Travel Realm!

He didn’t know why their masters and family factions hadn’t sent any Divine Travel Realm experts to take part.

Instead, they had been sent to the Tian Nan Domain to investigate.

But regardless,

in their view,

the ruins of the Xiangshan Sect’s Mountain Gate had to be incredibly appealing, at least to some Loose Cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm!

And that was precisely why,

after entering the Secret Realm of the Xiangshan Sect’s Mountain Gate,

they had to act fast—

fast enough to seize as many benefits as possible before any Divine Travel Realm experts heard the news and arrived.

For this same reason,

when the Jade Platform, imbued with the aura of the ancient Enlightenment Stone, appeared within this Enlightenment Grotto Heaven, a fierce battle had immediately erupted to claim it.

And Bai Yusheng,

had consequently agreed to Chen Lingfeng’s proposal to form a temporary alliance and seize this great opportunity before anything else.

Now,

this young woman in the black dress had suddenly appeared,

her aura mysterious and profound. Merely standing there, she influenced the very flow of energy between heaven and earth.

It created an oppressive feeling that was almost suffocating.

How could they not suspect...

...that this person was a Loose Cultivator from the Divine Travel Realm, here in disguise to fight for this opportunity?

An expert from the Divine Travel Realm...

was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

”Hee hee, you gentlemen jest.”

”The Xiangshan Sect was wiped out three hundred years ago. How could there be any survivors?”

”Even if there were, after three hundred years, they’d either be dead from old age or have had their legacies absorbed by other factions long ago.”

”I couldn’t possibly accept such an accusation from you, good sir!”

The young woman in the black dress beamed, her eyebrows curving like a pair of crescent moons.

The gauzy veil covering the lower half of her face trembled slightly, inspiring endless beautiful and imaginative thoughts.

She emanated a charm as deep and captivating as a starry night sky.

In the air,

the tense atmosphere seemed to dissolve with her smile.

But just then,

’Something’s wrong!’

Shen Changchuan was horrified.

The feeling was like waking from a nightmare, a bucket of ice-cold water dumped over his head!

At that moment,

he saw that Nangong City beside him, at some point, had developed a look of obsession. His eyes were fixed blankly on the woman in black, as if he had lost consciousness and sunk into some beautiful Illusion Realm!

And,

he wasn’t the only one!

All around them,

Cultivators with Cultivation below the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer had all fallen into the same state!

Fewer than ten people in the entire area were still clear-headed!

”Brother Nangong, wake up!”

Shen Changchuan shot a stream of Magical Power into him while simultaneously slamming his mind with the formless Power of the Divine Soul!

Nangong City felt a sharp, stabbing pain.

His head buzzed loudly,

and the layers of illusions in his mind instantly shattered. Consciousness returned, and his eyes cleared.

”What happened?!”

Soon,

Nangong City realized what had happened to him, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

”There’s something wrong with that woman! Don’t look at her!”

Shen Changchuan quickly warned him,

stepping in front of Nangong City

to block his view of the young woman in black.

Recalling the last few moments, Nangong City’s face turned deathly pale.

Meanwhile,

ahead of them,

a commotion was breaking out.

”Damn it! Where did this Demoness come from!”

”Be careful! Don’t look! It’s a Charm Class Magic!”

”Wake up!”

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The ones who were still conscious quickly snapped their entranced companions out of it.

As they came to their senses and recalled what had happened, they couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

”You gentlemen truly live up to your reputations as prodigies from your various domains. It seems I can’t deal with you so easily after all.”

”But, could you gentlemen do me a small favor? This little lady only wishes to reclaim her ancestor’s legacy. I’d hate to see any bloodshed,”

the young woman in the black dress said with a beaming smile.

Her gaze swept over those who had remained conscious, including Shen Changchuan.

Her voice was tinged with a bewitching allure.

At the same time, the very space around her seemed to warp with a profound and mysterious Abnormal Power, continuously exuding an inscrutable allure.

This time,

even those who were now on guard found it overwhelming and difficult to resist.

”COUGH, COUGH... Black Heart Lotus Needle, Night Star Enchantment Scripture... I wasn’t sure at first... You... you’re from the Celestial Demon Sect!”

”Furthermore, both of those skills are core techniques of the Celestial Demon Sect, which only those on the level of a Saint Son or Saintess are qualified to cultivate!”

”Who exactly are you?!”

Through a fit of pained coughs,

not far away,

Chen Lingfeng, who had been slammed into the ground, struggled to his feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood as black gore spread across his clothes from the wound that had pierced his body. An aura of desolate annihilation radiated from him.

But Chen Lingfeng paid it no mind.

Instead, his eyes were locked on the young woman in black, filled with fury and disbelief.

”You must be an important Disciple of the Celestial Demon Sect! To be so young... which Quasi-Saintess are you?!”

The moment Chen Lingfeng spoke,

everyone froze.

Even the other Cultivators, who had been stealthily approaching Chen Lingfeng to try and snatch the Jade Platform from him, stopped in their tracks at this shocking revelation.

As Top-Level prodigies from various domains, they naturally knew of the Celestial Demon Sect.

Even Shen Changchuan, a Crying Cultivator who spent most of his time in seclusion, knew about the Celestial Demon Sect!

It was a behemoth on the same level as the Yuqing Immortal Sect and their Immortal Sect’s greatest enemy!

A hostile power like that...

had sent a Saintess, or a Quasi-Saintess, here?

’How does she dare?!’

Or rather,

’What grand conspiracy could a prodigy from an enemy faction have for infiltrating so deep into their territory?!’

”Oh dear, you’ve found me out.”

The young woman in the black dress showed a look of ”surprise,” even raising a delicate hand to cover her mouth in a mock gasp.

Then,

beneath her black veil, her expression broke into a smile.

”Well then, I can’t let any of you gentlemen leave!”

The moment her words fell,

RUMBLE!!!

A terrifying aura erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for millennia!

A tyrannical presence shot into the sky, sweeping across the entire area!

But at that same moment,

the leading prodigies from the various domains weren’t alarmed. Instead, their faces lit up with elation.

Because,

the aura erupting from the suspected Celestial Demon Sect Saintess was not that of the Divine Travel Realm...

...but of the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak!
