Chapter 84: Subduing The Devil Soul With One Hand
After Song Yiming’s visit, the Chu family once again realized the importance of strength in the cultivation world.
Everyone began to put all of their effort into training, hoping to make the Chu family rise to prominence once again.
The defenses around the family’s territory returned to their normal state. A spirit realm guard captain led the other guards to patrol the family’s territory.
The heretic cult was no longer much of a threat.
Since most external threats were basically eliminated, there was no need to be on high alert at all times.
!!
The defenses around the ancestral residence, on the other hand, became even tighter instead.
At least one unity realm family elder would be patrolling the ancestral residence.
After all, the Chu family’s ancient site was of great importance, and they could not afford to lose anything inside it.
The other family elders were all cultivating in seclusion inside the Chu family’s ancient site.
They took turns patrolling every three days.
As Chu Yun continued refining medicinal pills, and more of the Chu family’s foundation was unearthed, three more unity realm experts were added to the Chu family’s forces.
Everyone in the Chu family could envision the eventual rise of the Chu family to becoming a truly great aristocratic family.
The fact that they were ostracized by the Qin family and had not become a va.s.sal of the Great Qin Dynasty was perhaps a good thing.
At the very least, Chu County was still under the control of the Chu family.
The resources the family elders needed for cultivation could be obtained by selling pills.
Chu Tianming had already selected a few of the more talented juniors of the Chu family to study pill refinement under Chu Yun.
Chu Yun could not be the only one refining all the pills, after all.
Someone to refine the lower-level pills and, hopefully, the Chu family would gradually form a pill refinement system and foundation that would herald the rise of the Chu family.
Outside the Chu family grounds, a figure silently appeared.
In his hand was a bead.
At this moment, the bead seemed to be melting as it turned scarlet red.
There seemed to be fresh blood flowing within it.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that there was a faint figure within the dark brown blood.
The blood spirit bead had already been activated.
After fifteen minutes, it would turn into devilish blood energy, contaminating the entirety of the Chu family’s territory.
Hu Quan’s expression was malevolent, and his eyes were filled with madness.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past him. Before Hu Quan could react, he felt his body being lifted up and, the very next moment, he found himself inside a small courtyard.
Chu Xuan frowned as he looked at Hu Quan.
This guy had not made any movements for such a long time despite having long since obtained the fake map of the Chu family’s territory that he had provided.
He had almost forgotten about him.
He had not expected the other party to suddenly appear.
Moreover, something was very wrong.
Looking at the demonic blood bead in Hu Quan’s hand, he could feel a powerful and dirty aura from it, as well as a dense demonic aura.
A blood bead condensed from the blood energy of the demon race?
Moreover, it was not ordinary demon race blood.
This guy wanted to give the Chu family a vicious blow without making a sound.
“You!”
Hu Quan was shocked. How did he come here? He had not been able to resist at all.
What kind of strength did this person have?
However, it was too late. The blood spirit bead had already been activated.
The other party could not stop the tragedy from unfolding.
Hu Quan was pleased with himself.
“Swallow them.”
Chu Xuan waved his hand and instructed the Spirit Devouring Flower to swallow Hu Quan.
As for the blood spirit bead, it was naturally swallowed as well.
To the Spirit Devouring Flower, the demonic blood was a great tonic. It was not affected by the demonic blood energy’s filth.
The Spirit Devouring Flower’s roots instantly spread out and swallowed Hu Quan.
In an instant, Hu Quan disappeared from the world.
Boom!
The blood spirit bead suddenly erupted with powerful might.
A figure with a short horn on its head and ears sticking up appeared with a ferocious expression on its face.
It shook off the Devouring Spirit Flower to the side.
Chu Xuan’s expression changed slightly.
It was the soul of a demon race expert!
With a wave of his hand, the Heaven-revolving Universe Array Formation covered the small courtyard.
Su Xian’er and Ding Yue were startled by the powerful demonic might and opened their eyes to look.
“Devil soul!”
Su Xian’er cried out in surprise.
“Kakaka, this venerable self has finally emerged. Human junior, kneel before me!”
The devil soul looked at Su Xian’er and its smile became even more evil.
“Human girl, you are too beautiful. Kneel down and let this venerable self vent his desires. If I am satisfied, I’ll let you keep your consciousness.”
Boom!
The devil soul’s aura erupted and a powerful aura swept over the courtyard.
It was infinitely close to the Heaven realm!
It was either a peak-stage Supreme realm, or the half-step Heaven realm, devil soul.
When the other party had been at his peak, he was probably a Heaven realm demon race expert.
However, he had been seriously injured, and even his devil soul’s realm fell by a level.
Su Xian’er’s face was pale.
Could Chu Xuan deal with such a powerful devil soul?
“Kid, this venerable self needs a new body. Yours will do fine.”
The devil soul looked at Chu Xuan and laughed. It pounced over, trying to seize Chu Xuan’s body.
“Hmph, impudent!”
Chu Xuan snorted coldly and raised his hand to press down. Mysterious symbols spread out, forming a special domain!
“Heaven-sealing forbidden technique!”
If the other party had been a full-fledged Heaven realm expert, Chu Xuan would have been afraid and relied on the universe revolving formation to trap the other party before escaping.
However, it was only a devil soul, so he did not take it seriously at all.
With the many methods at his disposal, as well as the divine weapon and Dao weapon that the system had rewarded him with, it was not a problem for him to suppress a devil soul.
Moreover, this devil soul had not even reached the Heaven realm.
It was not an exaggeration to say that, within the Supreme realm, he feared no one.
As soon as the heaven-sealing forbidden technique was used, the devil soul instantly felt his own power being restricted.
He could no longer use his domain power.
What shocked him even more was that all of his power, including his secret techniques, were no longer working.
He even felt that his devil soul was losing consciousness!
How could this be?!
Who was he? How could he be so powerful?
Was this place not the Southern Region within the Northern Zone?
Mo Tuo was shocked. He could only watch his soul be compressed.
“I can’t accept this. I can’t accept this. I escaped with my life during the invasion of the Southern Region, but I’m actually going to meet my end here?”
“Why am I not in the Southern Region? Why?”
“Who brought me out of the Southern Region?”
Mo Tuo roared in his heart. He wanted to struggle, but it was completely useless.
Back then, when he invaded the Southern Region of the Northern Zone, he did not die in that shocking battle. He was lucky enough to escape with a strand of his devil soul.
However, he had not expected to die so soon after finally re-emerging!
Under the shocked gazes of Su Xian’er and Ding Yue, that powerful and boundless devil soul was actually suppressed by Chu Xuan with a wave of his hand.
It seemed so simple, almost like killing a mosquito.
Su Xian’er and Ding Yue were deeply shocked. Chu Xuan’s strength was beyond their wildest imagination.
Chu Xuan looked at the compressed devil soul in his palm. He wondered whether the devil soul was related to the demons that had fought in the war in the Asura Ancient Land.
A mere wisp of his soul was already so powerful. When he was at his peak, he probably was not considered a weakling among the Heaven realm experts, right?
Should he kill it directly?
Chu Xuan hesitated. It would be a pity to kill such a powerful devil soul just like that.
However, to seal it, he had to suppress it personally.
There seemed to be no Buddhism in this world.
Otherwise, he would have converted this devil soul and turned it into his loyal servant.
Given Chu Xuan’s current strength, the success rate of forcefully planting a soul seal on the devil soul was not high. After all, the devil soul’s realm was much higher.
Chu Xuan frowned and thought about ways to deal with the devil soul. It was very likely that this was a devil race expert who had invaded the Southern Region back then.
In that case, he probably knew many secrets about that ancient war with the demons.
Especially about whether there were any traitors among the human race.
Due to this, Chu Xuan did not want to kill the devil soul.
