Chapter 200: Jade Talisman of the Ancestral Hall
Jin Shenxuan’s chest crumbled in with blood where a bowl sized hole could be seen.
Wei Suo drew in a breath of cold air. After witnessing a low grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact shield being penetrated so easily, he reckoned that blood pearl wasn’t inferior at all to his mid grade
Spirit Cla.s.s Divine Six-Suns Firefork.
“Could it be the old man was wrong? This unremarkable looking dagger without powerful spirit energy fluctuations, is actually a true mid grade Spirit Cla.s.s artifact?”
“Ahhhh!”
After a miserable cry, Jin Shenxuan didn’t die even after having his chest punctured through with a blood hole.
Instead, his artifact robe combusted into a bat-shaped radiance of black and gold. Like a cicada shedding its carapace, the bat flew out and unyieldingly resisted the incoming small black dagger.
Simultaneously, he retrieved a red pellet medicine and consumed it. The Falling Dragon Ruler then morphed into a hundred black rays and covered the entire hall densely, shooting straight towards Wei Suo and Jin Qiao’er.
As for Jin Shenxuan, he frantically flew backwards as he strove to flee.
Wei Suo’s countenance changed slightly.
A Thought Division Stage level 1 cultivator was indeed a Thought Division Stage level 1 cultivation. Even after being wounded so heavily, he could still react swiftly and cast techniques. Furthermore, the Falling Dragon Ruler appeared true to its reputation and seemed incredibly potent. It would be tough for Wei Suo to impede his escape.
“Ahh!!”
Sou! Yet in the same instance where Wei Suo’s divine light screen was struck by the Falling Dragon Ruler, Jin Shenxuan released a despairing shriek.
Dang!
After the Falling Dragon Ruler, that had been abandoned by Jin Shenxuan, shattered two of Wei Suo’s divine light screens, its brilliance faded and fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, Jin Shenxuan, who was about to escape from the window, collapsed to the ground while convulsing. Many thin blood holes could be seen on his face and appeared immeasurably horrifying.
After a momentary blankness, Wei Suo immediately reacted and quickly discarded his intention to retract all his surrounding divine light screens.
Black Drillworms!
There were still numerous Black Drillworms that were alive in this grand hall.
After being grievously afflicted, all of Jin Shenxuan’s attention was given to Wei Suo and Jin Qiao’er; thus, he failed to guard against those weird bugs, thinking that those bugs would undoubtedly perish after losing energy.
Sou! Jin Qiao’er once again activated her black dagger which drilled into Jin Shenxuan’s body.
Moments after the dagger drilled in, his body turned rigid and lost all life force.
To Wei Suo’s astonishment, when that black dagger drilled into Jin Shenxuan, blood instantly stopped streaming out from his wounds as though all his blood had been drained.
“Haha! Old dog, always desiring to eliminate granny and I, yet eventually falling to my hands!”
Jin Qiao’er laughed hysterically as though Wei Suo was invisible after she retrieved her black dagger.
Meanwhile, Wei s...o...b..azenly stored the fallen Falling Dragon Ruler, but with a ma.s.sive frown on his face. He was now feeling a tremendous threat from Jin Qiao’er’s tiny black dagger; this pointy nose, thick eyebags ugly la.s.s looked even more sinister while laughing. She was truly exceedingly ugly to behold.
At present, the remaining Black Drillworms swarmed towards them. Wei Suo was extremely clear on the nature of these Black Drillworms. He purposely summoned an ordinary Profound Iron Shield to attract all the Black Drillworms to surge towards it. Then, he casually unleashed some skill talismans and annihilated the dying group of Black Drillworms.
After killing the Black Drillworms, Wei Suo hastened to the nearest window and took a peep outside.
The entire Jin Villa was now brightly lit, as though it was in a state of emergency. Many cultivators had gathered outside this 9 storey building but not a single one had entered.
“Don’t peep. This place is the forbidden ground of Jin Villa, they wouldn’t dare to enter unless you start bragging about killing the old dog. Quick, search the old dog if the Entrance Talisman to the ancestral hall is on him.” After her sinister laughter, Jin Qiao’er coldly admonished Wei Suo for peeping outside.
Wei Suo nodded expressionlessly and rushed to Jin Shenxuan’s corpse before searching.
He could sense a trace of fear still lingering in Jin Qiao’er’s eyes. Although he felt a restraining fear towards Jin Qiao’er’s black dagger, she also felt the same way towards his Divine Six-Suns Firefork and Black Drillworms. Perhaps, Jin Qiao’er was even thinking he could be Old Devil Qin. From her state now, she no longer underestimated him but was afraid of any Black Drillworm remnants on Jin Shenxuan.
Wei Suo snagged a cyan Treasure Receiving Pocket from Jin Shenxuan but didn’t discover anything else. While retrieving the Treasure Receiving Pocket, Wei Suo had sneakily pressed the corpse and immediately felt a chill in his heart. Jin Shenxuan actually had all his blood drained completely and felt like a dead tree.
Wei Suo swept through with his divine sense after taking the Treasure Receiving Pocket. He noticed two jade talismans, a spiritual stone pouch and several other pellet medicines.
With a stir in his heart, Wei Suo produced the two jade talismans.
One was a square pinkish jade talisman while the other a circle dull golden talisman that was engraved with strange talismanic shapes of cranes and immortals.
“Quick, hand the jade talisman to me, that’s the Entrance Spirit Talisman of our Jin Ancestral hall!”
Upon viewing the dull golden talisman, her face instantly flushed with a wild delight and quickly cried out with urgency. Also, Wei Suo noticed her eyes beaming with avaracity while eyeing the pinkish jade talisman.
Wei Suo tossed the dull golden jade talisman to Jin Qiao’er but blatantly stored the pinkish jade talisman into his Treasure Receiving Pocket.
“Let’s go.” Jin Qiao’er looked distinctly displeased with Wei Suo’s action but didn’t mention anything. Instead, he gestured for Wei Suo to continue going up.
“Why? Could it be you the Jin Clan’s ancestral hall is in this building?” Wei Suo was slightly stunned and chose to inquire first.
“You guessed correctly. Our Jin clan’s ancestral hall is on the ninth floor. Otherwise, why would Jin Shenxuan that old dog be awaiting in this building.” Jin Qiao’er sneered. “Oh relax and follow me, perhaps we can continue with our deal after completing our earlier deal. I can a.s.sist you in settling those lil’ dogs and street dogs around the old dog.”
Wei Suo’s eyes flickered and chose to remain silent. He then tailed Jin Qiao’er.
Nothing surprising occurred during their ascent to the eighth floor. Right at the entrance of the ninth floor, an enormous door made with pure gold emerged. The door was inscribed with various strange talismanic patterns of immortals, cranes and pines. It emitted a layer of thick golden brilliance that swayed along this enormous door.
“Eh?”
Wei Suo felt an immense pressure from just 15 metres away from the door.
The pressure wasn’t an ordinary spirit energy pressure but a peculiar divine sense pressure. As Wei Suo advanced several steps, even with his current divine sense, he was still affected mentally and couldn’t shake off the feeling.
Wei Suo quickly retreated several steps. It would be too risky if Jin Qiao’er decided to harbour malice and seize the opportunity against him in that state.
Meanwhile, Jin Qiao’er’s eyes flashed with a feverish glint upon sighting this enormous door.
Following that, she widened her mouth and unexpectedly spat out an identical looking dull golden circle jade talisman.
While Wei Suo was still utterly astonished, Jin Qiao’er cut her own wrist and dripped several droplets of blood onto the two circular jade talisman. Following that, she channeled an endless supply of true energy into the two jade talisman.
A scene that utterly shocked Wei Suo then occurred.
The two dull golden jade talisman emitted a streak of radiance which transformed into a peach immortal. That phantom peach immortal marched towards the golden door and reached out its hand before lightly pushing it.
Closely after, the enormous golden door actually swung open.
A grand hall filled with mult.i.tudes of hanging portraits appeared before Wei Suo and Jin Qiao’er.
The portraits were all images of individuals which seemed to be consecutive generations of Jin Clan predecessors.
Of course, Wei Suo didn’t harbour any interest in all that. What attracted his gaze, was a light-green light screen in the middle of this expansive grand hall. A white archaic talisman was floating amidst the light-green light screen.
Jin Qiao’er’s face instantly flashed with ecstasy upon sighting that white archaic talisman, and was about to rush forth and grab the talisman for herself.
“Jin Qiao’er!” At this point, Wei Suo shouted at her with chilling austerity.
Jin Qiao’er’s brows creased with vigilance as she asked, “Why?”
“You asked why?” Wei Suo glimpsed at this ancestral hall that only housed a single white jade talisman. “You said your Jin Clan’s ancestral hall is worth more than 200,000 low grade spiritual stones, where are the spiritual stones? I don’t even see a single spiritual stone!”
“The spiritual stones storage is not here.” Jin Qiao’er impatiently refuted. “After I keep this I will bring you to retrieve the spiritual stones at once.”
“Jin Qiao’er you truly take me to be a fool!” Wei Suo’s eyes flashed with hostility. “You are obviously making use of me to reach here, if not for my resources and capability to destroy even the Grandis Gold Formation, I would’ve been killed by you here. If you can’t produce the spiritual stones now, I can still trust you. But for this jade talisman, I will hold it for now. If you still fail to bring me to retrieve my spiritual stones, don’t blame me for revolting!”
“No! That jade talisman absolutely cannot be placed on you.” Jin Qiao’er immediately screamed out.
