This was the second time Xiao Yifeng had used the Spirit Control from Soul Devouring, having previously taken control of the Blood Rakshasa.
Xiao Yifeng whispered.
The member of the Bailan Sect controlled by Xiao Yifeng swung a sharp dagger, stabbing it directly into the chest of a comrade next to him.
The other Bailan Sect member didn’t react in time, watching in disbelief as they were murdered by their peer.
Following that, Xiao Yifeng managed to walk out of the maze with the Bailan Sect member and discovered a huge valley; clearly, this was the Bailan Sect’s base.
Xiao Yifeng casually disposed of the Bailan Sect member, as his usefulness had ended.
As Xiao Yifeng drew closer, he saw a large number of Bailan Sect members, both male and female, amounting to several hundred. The organization was sizeable, and all members possessed strength above Dark Energy. There were not a few experts in the Transformative Energy Stage and the Gang Qi Realm.
Among them, Xiao Yifeng also sensed several powerful presences, all likely those in the Entering Saint Realm. Upon activating his penetrative vision, he spotted Mo Shuqian who was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
She looked untroubled, and her strength had also advanced to the later stages of the Gang Qi Realm.
Xiao Yifeng didn’t plan to rescue Mo Shuqian just then, as there were Entering Saint Realm powerhouses within the Bailan Sect. Taking her away wouldn’t be easy, and he needed to think carefully.
If he had known it would be , he would have brought Tian Tu along; with Tian Tu’s strength, it would be possible to confront a powerhouse in the Entering Saint Realm.
Xiao Yifeng then wandered around the vicinity, pondering how to resolve the situation perfectly.
Unwittingly, Xiao Yifeng arrived at a waterfall. Beneath it was a large pool, and to his surprise, with the sound of splashing water, a woman emerged from the pool.
This woman had long, dark green eyebrows, clear and sparkling black pupils, a smooth and prominent nose, dewy and delicate cherry lips, translucent earlobes, and all her neat and delicate features were set in a perfect oval-shaped face.
From her demeanor, the woman appeared to be in her thirties or forties, like a matron still retaining her charm, but her skin and facial features were as youthful as a woman in her twenties, stirring the heart.
At that moment, the woman raised her head from the pool, revealing her snow-white neck in full view.
And Xiao Yifeng saw this entire scene clearly, without missing a detail.
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
The slight sound of Xiao Yifeng swallowing had been heard by the mature beauty in the pool. Instantly her long, willowy eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes shot out a cold glint.
Suddenly, the woman slapped the water, causing waves to splash. In a flash, two water arrows shot towards Xiao Yifeng, containing terrifying power.
Xiao Yifeng’s complexion changed, and he quickly used Jiuxing Zhuiyue to dodge to one side, narrowly avoiding the water arrows as they grazed past him.
At that moment, the mature beauty leapt out from the pool, landing on the ground, and with a wave of her hand, she was clothed in a white garment, covering her sensual and perfect form, her face cold, her eyes flashing with a frightening murderous intent, exuding a chilling and noble aura of strength.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" she demanded coldly, her gaze fixed on Xiao Yifeng as she exuded a terrifying momentum.
The void seemed to freeze completely, and a massive pressure bore down on Xiao Yifeng; it was evident that this woman was a powerful Entering Saint Realm strong one.
"Beautiful lady, this is just a misunderstanding. I’m just passing by. Goodbye!"
Xiao Yifeng said awkwardly, turning to leave the place.
The woman moved and instantly flashed before Xiao Yifeng, her expression icy, and her gaze shot out a terrifyingly cold light as she stared at him.
"What did you see just now?"
"I didn’t see anything!"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head frantically, knowing that if he dared to admit he saw something he shouldn’t have, he would certainly be dead.
"Whether you saw it or not, you must die!"
The woman coldly commanded, exuding a powerful aura. With a wave of her hand, a horrifying force swept toward Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng quickly activated Jiuxing Zhuiyue, trying to dodge the attack, but the opponent’s power was too strong, and he was still shaken, stumbling backward, his inner qi and blood boiling, coughing repeatedly.
The woman shouted again, and with a slap of her hand, a lotus palm print descended on Xiao Yifeng with the force of a thousand jun, as if to completely annihilate him.
Xiao Yifeng immediately stimulated the Nine Dragons Seal, the Nine Stars Tyrant Body Art in motion, Starforce from within the five acupoints burst forth, pouring into the Nine Dragons Seal and launching a direct assault.
The lotus palm print and the Nine Dragons Seal collided, unleashing terrifying power. Waves of energy swept out, sending both of them staggering backward, the pond by their side blasted open, water splashing out.
Under the strike of the Nine Dragons Seal, the lotus palm print shattered, and the Nine Dragons Seal also dimmed before returning to Xiao Yifeng’s hand.
"Who are you, and how do you have such a powerful weapon?"
The woman’s gaze fastened on Xiao Yifeng, her voice demanding an answer.
"I told you, I’m just passing by. Why must you kill me? You’re a woman, and such a beautiful one at that. Don’t be so quick to kill; it’s not good!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke out.
"Because you saw what you shouldn’t have, you must die!"
The woman declared coldly, a deadly intent permeating from her.
"I really didn’t see anything."
Xiao Yifeng said helplessly.
However, it seemed the woman didn’t believe him at all and continued watching Xiao Yifeng with icy, murderous eyes.
"Fine, I admit I saw something, but only your upper body."
The woman’s overwhelming Entering Saint Realm pressure descended like a mountain on Xiao Yifeng. She moved and with one palm gathered the strength of an Entering Saint Realm attack, brutally slamming it toward Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng first used Soul-Capturing Eyes to make the woman pause, then cast Soul Devouring. His eyes became a vortex of blood-red, generating a terrifying devouring power.
The woman’s gaze began to scatter at once. Though she was an Entering Saint Realm strong one, facing Xiao Yifeng’s Soul Devouring attack from his eyes, her soul consciousness was still affected.
ps: I’ve seen many friends discussing the protagonist’s strength. Let me say that next time the protagonist reaches the capital, his strength will break through to Condensing Qi and battle with Entering Sanctity. That is, on the 20th which is the breakout day, you all will see the protagonist making a breakthrough.
