Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

70: Reverse Severing the Nascent SoulChen Xu did not look at the demonic shadows pouncing from all directions; he simply gazed calmly at one of the thousands of demonic shadows in front of him.

In his eyes, a faint purple-gold radiance subtly flowed.

The Divine Ability, Purple Pupils of Delusion Breaking.

In his vision, the entire world transformed.

The thousands of aggressive demonic shadows, under his Purple Pupils, all turned into illusory lines composed of thin energy, so fragile they seemed to break with a touch.

Only one of them was incredibly clear and solid in his vision.

The Nascent Soul Origin within its body was burning frantically.

Like a blood-red lantern in the dark night.

”All show, no substance.”

Chen Xu softly uttered four words.

His tone carried disdain.

He didn’t bother to block the incoming attacks, simply standing in place.

He casually raised the myriad ages azure cloud sword in his hand.

With a thought, the Nascent Sword Domain silently unfolded.

Centered around him, within a ten-zhang radius, the air instantly became viscous and sharp.

Buzz!

Thousands of Sword Qi, fine as ox hair yet incomparably sharp, appeared out of thin air!

These Sword Qi had no fixed form.

They were the wind, the light, the omnipresent Law within this Domain.

Their appearance was silent, and their slaughter was equally silent.

The thousands of demonic shadows, which were enough to instantly turn a Foundation Establishment Cultivator into a bloody mist, were instantly shredded and annihilated by the invisible Sword Qi the moment they entered the range of the Nascent Sword Domain, without even a hint of struggle!

They transformed into pure Devilish Qi and dissipated into the air.

The entire process was incredibly fast.

It was as if the terrifying, overwhelming offensive from before was merely an illusion.

At this moment, Elder Demon You Ying’s true body had just rushed to within three zhang of Chen Xu.

He watched with his own eyes as all his Clones vanished in an instant.

His blood-red eyes were filled with endless horror.

He wanted to retreat, but his body, suppressed by the Sword Domain, was as sluggish as if it were stuck in a swamp.

It was at this moment that Chen Xu moved.

He didn’t use any intricate sword moves; he simply waved the myriad ages azure cloud sword, imbued with purple-gold Dao charm, in his hand towards Elder Demon You Ying in a simple, unadorned manner.

A seemingly ordinary green sword light detached from the sword body.

This sword light was neither fast nor brilliant.

It didn’t even produce the slightest sound of tearing through the air.

It just flew quietly towards Elder Demon You Ying.

Yet, it was this very sword light that made Elder Demon You Ying feel as if his Divine Soul had been completely locked, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

”No!”

He shrieked, frantically pouring all the remaining Nascent Soul Origin within him into the space in front of him.

A black bone shield carved with an evil ghost totem, a glowing banner, and a blood-colored jade pendant that pulsed like a heart... a total of three of his Natal Demonic Treasures, which he had refined for hundreds of years, were all unleashed in this instant.

They layered themselves in front of him.

However, it was useless.

In front of that seemingly ordinary green sword light, these Demonic Treasures, which were enough to withstand the full-force attack of a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, were as fragile as paper.

Crack!

The moment the ghost-faced bone shield touched the sword light, it was covered in cracks and shattered with a bang.

Rip!

The Ghost Soul Banner couldn’t even block for a single breath before it was cut open by the sword light, losing all its spiritual essence.

Bang!

The Blood Heart Jade Pendant let out a wail and directly exploded into a sky full of dust.

The sword light advanced like a broken bamboo, and after slicing through the three Demonic Treasures, its power showed no signs of weakening, effortlessly piercing through Elder Demon You Ying’s chest.

”Ugh!”

Elder Demon You Ying’s body suddenly stiffened.

He lowered his head, looking in disbelief at the bowl-sized hole in his chest.

Violent Sword Qi raged within his body.

In an instant, it shredded his internal organs and annihilated all his vitality.

His expanded body, gained by burning his Origin, rapidly shriveled like a deflated balloon.

”Im...impossible...”

He opened his mouth, and hoarse sounds came from his throat.

The last light in his eyes completely dimmed.

The next moment, his withered Physical Body could no longer withstand the destructive power of the Sword Qi, shattering inch by inch, turning into dust, and dissipating into the night wind.

Just as his Physical Body collapsed, a mini-figure about an inch tall, flickering with startled and uncertain light, suddenly shot out from the dust.

The mini-figure transformed into a streak of light, intending to escape outside the Formation.

It was none other than Elder Demon You Ying’s Nascent Soul!

On his Nascent Soul’s tiny face, there was no longer any of the arrogance or ruthlessness of a king of assassins.

Only the relief of surviving a calamity and lingering malice remained.

As long as his Nascent Soul could escape, he would have a chance to rise again!

He would report everything that happened today to the Demonic Path.

He wanted the entire Chen Family, the entire Ninghai City, to perish completely!

However, he rejoiced too soon.

”Did I tell you to leave?”

Chen Xu’s sudden voice made his Nascent Soul tremble violently.

Chen Xu raised his hand and clenched it in the Void Realm.

Buzz!

The ”Purple Mansion Heaven Locking Formation” covering the entire backyard burst into dazzling light.

Countless golden rune chains appeared out of thin air.

They instantly wove into a net that covered the sky and earth.

Trapping Elder Demon You Ying’s Nascent Soul firmly in mid-air.

The Nascent Soul frantically crashed against the golden cage, but it only stirred up ripples.

It couldn’t shake it in the slightest.

Chen Xu slowly stepped forward, ignoring the Nascent Soul’s malicious curses and pleas, and directly reached out his hand, grabbing the inch-tall figure into his palm.

A cold sensation came, and the Nascent Soul struggled violently in his palm, letting out silent screams.

”Spare...spare me! Fellow Daoist, spare me! I am willing to surrender, I am willing to be your slave! I know countless secrets, I know the location of an ancient Immortal Cave...”

Elder Demon You Ying was completely terrified; he began to beg frantically.

He tried to exchange his life with various conditions.

But Chen Xu’s face remained expressionless.

He looked at the tiny face in his palm, filled with fear and supplication, and said indifferently, ”Your secrets, I will see for myself.”

The moment his voice fell, his other hand’s finger touched the top of the Nascent Soul’s head.

Soul Searching Technique!

”Ah—!”

A shrill scream erupted from the Nascent Soul’s mouth.

A massive and chaotic flood of memories poured into Chen Xu’s mind.

Countless bloody assassination scenes, the Shadow Concealment Tower’s secret strongholds spread throughout the Great Feng Dynasty, various insidious and malicious Demonic Technique secret methods... Chen Xu merely skimmed over this information, categorizing it aside.

What he truly cared about was the source of this assassination mission.

Soon, a clear scene emerged from that chaotic sea of memories.

It was a luxuriously decorated yet eerie underground secret chamber.

A black-robed figure, whose face was obscured, handed a Storage Pouch and a Jade Slip to Elder Demon You Ying.

”Kill all core members of the Chen Family, and bring this item back. This down payment is yours. After the deed is done, I will double it.”

The voice was hoarse, yet it carried an Aura of authority from someone who had long held a high position.

Chen Xu’s brow furrowed slightly.

He continued to delve deeper, and soon, in the deeper reaches of that memory, he saw the true face of the black-robed figure.

It was a middle-aged man with a sinister face, a hooked nose, and thin lips.

He wore a king’s robe embroidered with a four-clawed Dragon, and his eyes were filled with the desire for power and undisguised ambition.

Great Feng Dynasty, Seventh Prince, Qin Wujie!

So it was him!

Chen Xu’s eyes instantly turned cold.

He had seen this fellow the last time he went to the capital.

At that time, he was by Prince Dingqin’s side.

However, at that time, he had not shown any abnormalities, and Chen Xu hadn’t paid attention!

What a ruthless Prince!

However, as Chen Xu continued to look further, his pupils suddenly contracted!

At the very end of the memory.

He saw a scene that made his Killing Intent surge uncontrollably.

Just a few days ago, the Seventh Prince, Qin Wujie, secretly met with a Demonic Path envoy shrouded in blood-colored mist in his royal palace’s secret chamber!

In the memory scene, Qin Wujie handed a detailed intelligence report to the other party.

That report not only contained news of the Chen Family obtaining the Dao Lord’s Legacy from the Secret Realm.

It also meticulously marked the city defenses of Ninghai City.

The number of Cultivators, and the Mortal population!

”...That’s how it is. That brat from the Chen Family has the Dao Lord’s Legacy.”

”As long as your Blood Fiend Sect can help this Prince obtain it, this Prince will give the entire Ninghai City to you as a sacrifice for cultivating the Blood Devil Scripture!”

”One Ninghai City, hundreds of thousands of Mortals, plus the vital blood and Divine Souls of tens of thousands of Cultivators, should be enough to elevate your Sect Master’s cultivation to another level, right?”

Qin Wujie’s voice echoed in Chen Xu’s mind.

Blood Sacrifice Ninghai!

To use the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent Mortals and Cultivators to aid the Demonic Path in cultivating evil techniques!

Boom!

A cold Killing Intent erupted from Chen Xu’s body!

The ground beneath his feet instantly condensed a layer of white frost.

The entire ”Purple Mansion Heaven Locking Formation” vibrated violently due to his uncontrolled Killing Intent.

The air in the backyard’s temperature plummeted, as if it had instantly entered a harsh winter.

The Nascent Soul in his palm, under this terrifying Killing Intent, couldn’t even scream before it was directly frozen.

Then it shattered inch by inch, turning into pure Soul Power and dissipating into nothingness.

Chen Xu slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the night sky.

He looked towards the direction of the Great Feng Dynasty’s capital.

There was no trace of gentleness left on his face.

Only endless coldness.

”Qin Wujie...”

”You deserve to die.”

It was still the same sentiment!

He could accept the struggles between Cultivators, the Law of the jungle, and fate in life and death.

But he absolutely could not accept someone, for their own selfish desires, taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of Mortals in an entire city as sacrifices for cultivating evil techniques.

Those people were living beings.

They were the vendors who toiled daily for their livelihoods in Ninghai City, the farmers who diligently worked in the fields, the children who read aloud in the school, and countless vibrant and ordinary families.

They had nothing to do with the disputes of the cultivation world; they just wanted to live peacefully.

And now, in the eyes of that high and mighty Seventh Prince, they were merely pawns that could be sacrificed at will, used to exchange for benefits with the Demonic Path.

”Husband...”

A voice filled with worry came from behind him.

Bu Yifan had arrived in the courtyard at some unknown time.

She looked at Chen Xu’s back and felt a tightening in her heart.

Daoist Yuqing and Chu Xuan and others also followed behind, feeling the almost solidified Killing Intent in the air, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Hearing his wife’s voice, the uncontrolled Killing Intent on Chen Xu’s body slowly receded into him.

He turned around, and the white frost in the courtyard instantly melted.

As if everything just now was an illusion.

He walked in front of Bu Yifan, and seeing the concern in her eyes, the coldness in his heart melted into warmth.

He reached out, took his wife’s slightly cool hand in his palm, and in a calm tone, slowly recounted the conspiracy he had extracted from Elder Demon You Ying’s memories.

When she heard the words ”Blood Sacrifice Ninghai.”

Bu Yifan’s face instantly turned pale, and her delicate body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

She managed the Family and had seen her share of storms, but she had never imagined that someone could be so deranged.

This was no longer a Family struggle; this was about uprooting the entire Ninghai City, from top to bottom, from old to young, turning it into a land of blood!

”They... how dare they!”

Bu Yifan’s voice was trembling.

”Because in their eyes, Mortals are like weeds, and so are we.”

”But they are wrong. Ninghai City is our home, and the people here are protected by my Chen Family. As long as I, Chen Xu, am here, no one can commit such an act of extinction in this place.”

He realized that this matter could no longer be resolved by simply killing Qin Wujie.

Behind the Seventh Prince was the entire Blood Fiend Sect.

A major Demonic Path Sect with a Legacy of ten thousand years, its strength was unfathomable, far from comparable to a mere Shadow Concealment Tower.

Once the Blood Fiend Sect truly arrived, relying solely on him, he might be able to protect himself, but he couldn’t protect the entire city.

He must, in the shortest possible time, make the entire Chen Family’s strength undergo a qualitative leap!

He instantly made a decision in his heart.

”Yifan, transmit my order.”

Chen Xu said in a deep voice, ”From now on, Ninghai City enters the highest state of alert. All Family guards, Guest Elders, are to be mobilized to cooperate with the City Lord’s Mansion and take over the city defenses.”

”Yuqing, you are responsible for the Formations. Use all the blueprints I gave you. I want you to turn Ninghai City into an impenetrable fortress!”

”Yes, Family Head!”

Daoist Yuqing’s expression was solemn, and he immediately accepted the order.

”Husband, then you...”

Bu Yifan looked at him nervously.

”I’m going out for a trip.”

Chen Xu looked at her, his eyes firm: ”When I return, our Chen Family will no longer fear any scoundrels.”

What Chen Xu intended to do was to obtain the Legacy of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Due to his son, he now carried the Dao Lord’s Legacy, and his vision was already extraordinary.

However, the Dao Lord’s Legacy was too profound and not suitable for the Family’s disciples whose Foundation was still shallow.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect’s Legacy, having been passed down for so many years, had its Cultivation Technique system perfected through countless generations, progressing step by step from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, with a solid Foundation.

If he could cross-reference the two Legacies, taking their essence, he was confident that in a very short time, he could create several sets of top-tier Cultivation Techniques most suitable for the Chen Family’s Bloodline and different Spiritual Root Aptitudes.

By then, the entire Family’s cultivation speed would increase a hundredfold!

Time was pressing, and Chen Xu did not delay in the slightest.

After reassuring his Family, he moved, appearing directly above the Chen Family mansion.

He made no concealment, directly stepping onto the black iron flying boat.

The lingering bloody Qi and soaring Killing Intent, which had just slain a Late Nascent Soul Stage grand Cultivator and had not yet completely dissipated, transformed into a visible pillar of smoke, shooting straight into the sky.

Boom!

The black iron flying boat let out a roar, transforming into a black streak of light, tearing through the night sky.

It sped towards the direction of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.
