"You arrogant mutt! Die!" Xing Yixuan said coldly with a hiss.

The Flag of Waves fluttered and danced, several torrents surged forward, resembling furious evil dragons roaring as they charged toward Song Wen.

The Gui Yuan Qi poured out, transforming into a black barrier that surrounded Song Wen.

At the same time, four figures suddenly appeared.

They were three corpse puppets and one Ghost King.

Among them, one of the corpse puppets appeared in bad condition, with a hole the size of a bowl in its chest, yet it was the strongest of the four, a peak-stage third-tier silver corpse.

The three corpses and one ghost charged from different directions toward Xing Yixuan.

Seeing this, Xing Yixuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She quickly manipulated the torrents, changing the direction of her attack to strike at the three corpses and one ghost.

Except for the peak-stage silver corpse, the other two corpses and the ghost did not dare to directly face the torrents and could only retreat and dodge.

However, the peak-stage silver corpse was fearless, charging directly into the torrents.

"Boom!"

The torrents scattered.

The silver corpse pushed through the layers of surging water and attacked Xing Yixuan.

Xing Yixuan felt the urge to retreat. She kept urging the torrents to block the silver corpse while her figure shot upwards, fleeing into the sky.

"Want to escape?"

Song Wen's brows flickered, and three spirit blades shot out from his mind.

Seeing the three spirit blades, Xing Yixuan's face suddenly became grim.

She clearly recognized Song Wen and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"It's you!!"

A white beast bone appeared in front of Xing Yixuan, the same soul-defense artifact she had used in the Ming Shen Mountain's secret realm.

The beast bone emitted a dim white light, protecting her head.

The spirit blades pierced into the white light, as though sinking into a swamp, their speed greatly reduced.

However, despite the resistance of the white light, the blades still pierced through layer after layer of resistance. In the terrified gaze of Xing Yixuan, the blades entered her sea of consciousness.

"Aahhhhh!"

Xing Yixuan let out a heart-wrenching scream. It felt as though her head was being struck by a heavy iron hammer, as if it were about to shatter.

Due to this pain, her ability to control the Flag of Waves was noticeably reduced, and the previously surging torrents weakened in an instant.

Before the peak-stage silver corpse, there was suddenly no obstruction. It easily passed through the layers of torrents and arrived in front of Xing Yixuan.

The dark claws of the Ghost King suddenly extended, piercing through Xing Yixuan's chest.

Blood poured out, instantly staining her clothes red.

Feeling her life force rapidly fading, or perhaps due to a moment of reflection, Xing Yixuan's consciousness became abnormally clear.

With the last of her strength, she struggled to turn her head and look at Song Wen, her eyes full of disbelief.

In just a short period of time, the person who had once fled in fear from her had now become strong enough to kill her.

This island was only a thousand miles from the Liangyi Sect; it was not a place to linger for long.

Song Wen collected the formation flags, the three corpses, and the ghost, then took Xing Yixuan's body and vanished into the vast ocean.

He had just left when a tall figure broke through the sky, appearing above the island. This figure exuded a sharp aura, like a sword unsheathed.

It was Zi Yun.

She looked down at the shattered mountain and the island, which was in ruins. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"It seems that two top-tier Gold Core cultivators fought here. One died, and the victor fled into the sea. I wonder if these two are connected to Yin Bing's death."

She searched the island but found no valuable clues and then left.

...

Song Wen traveled underwater for thousands of miles and arrived on an island with extremely scarce spiritual energy.

Shan Yue was placed in a cave on this island by him.

Song Wen did not go to find Shan Yue, but instead sought a secluded place to begin searching Xing Yixuan's soul.

The soul-searching went smoothly, and Song Wen obtained some unexpected information.

Xing Yixuan had gone to Wu Ji Island on the orders of Xing Wenyao to negotiate with the island.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

The Xing family wanted to obtain the recipe for the Soul-Destroying Demon Pill from Xu Geng.

However, when she arrived at Wu Ji Island, Xu Geng had already used the remaining residue of the refining medicine to break the soul shackles and escaped the island.

Wu Ji Island also sought to retrieve Xu Geng's soul, so both sides quickly reached an agreement. Xing Yixuan, representing the Xing family, collaborated with Wu Ji Island to search for Xu Geng.

Although Xu Geng had escaped, the soul shackles remained, and they still carried his aura.

If they could obtain the Liangyi Sect's "Thousand Mile Breath Tracking Technique," they could use the aura on the shackles to trace Xu Geng's whereabouts.

Wu Ji Island possessed the soul shackles, and the matter of acquiring the "Thousand Mile Breath Tracking Technique" naturally fell to Xing Yixuan.

Thus, she made her way to the Liangyi Sect.

Song Wen also wanted to obtain Xu Geng's soul in order to learn the continuation of the "Corpse King Rebirth Technique" from him.

However, despite possessing the "Thousand Mile Breath Tracking Technique," he lacked the soul shackles and Xu Geng's aura, making it a futile endeavor.

In Xing Yixuan's storage ring, Song Wen was overjoyed to find a thousand high-quality spirit stones, a windfall of riches.

In addition, there was a Golden Core Pill and a low-grade soul defense artifact—items of considerable value.

What pleased Song Wen the most, however, was the discovery of three one-foot-high spiritual herbs inside a jade box.

The herbs were vibrant green, with crystal-like ice flowers blooming on their tops—these were the Mystic Ice Crystals, required for refining the Nascent Spirit Pill.

Ji Qing had once attempted to trade a piece of cold marrow wood with Xing Yixuan in exchange for a Mystic Ice Crystal, but he ultimately failed.

After sorting through the storage ring, Song Wen consumed Xing Yixuan's essence blood and soul, burning her body to ashes before heading to the cave where Shan Yue was hiding.

"Ji Yin, you've finally returned! Is everything done?" Shan Yue asked eagerly as she greeted Song Wen with a bright smile.

Shan Yue did not know what Song Wen had been up to. He had only told her that he needed to take care of some matters and that she should wait for him in the cave for a few days.

Since their brief but intimate exchange on the airship, their relationship had grown much closer—at least that was how Shan Yue felt.

Since that day, Song Wen's attitude toward her had softened considerably, no longer treating her as just a tool.

Shan Yue naturally became closer to Song Wen, and he, in turn, put his arm around her waist.

"Let's go, we'll head to Fangzhudao."

Ten days later, the flying boat arrived at Fangzhudao.

"Where should we stay? Should we go directly to Fang City?" Shan Yue asked.

Song Wen shook his head. "There are many people in Fang City who have seen your face. If you stay in the city for too long, it's easy for someone to recognize you."

"Then where should we go?"

"The Poison Old Ghost's poison lair. The spiritual energy there is still relatively dense, and there are many poisonous insects. Few people dare to enter."

"Alright."

The airship arrived at the eastern edge of Fang City, near the Rift Valley.

Song Wen stored the flying boat and, with Shan Yue, flew to the bottom of the rift valley.

When they reached the entrance of the poison lair, Shan Yue was about to step into the cave but was stopped by Song Wen.

"Wait, it looks like someone got here first."

"Someone's in the poison lair?" Shan Yue asked, puzzled.

She extended her spiritual sense but didn't detect anything unusual within the poison lair.

Similarly, Song Wen did not notice any obvious anomalies either.

However, he knew that in one corner of the poison lair, there was a secret chamber used by the Poison Old Ghost to cultivate poison plants.

At the junction of the secret chamber door and the rock wall, Song Wen noticed fresh signs of wear and tear.

Someone had recently opened the secret chamber!

Moreover, this person seemed to have deliberately concealed their traces, leaving no other clues in the poison lair, making it easy to mistakenly think that it was an abandoned cave.
