Chapter 857: The Threat of Dao Fusion Saint, Qin Shenwu’s Arrival
Editor: Henyee Translations
Following their victory, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn’t stop there.
They swiftly acted, eliminating or capturing the demonic cultivators who hadn’t managed to escape in time, particularly targeting those of the Seethrough stage.
They sealed all their Dharmic powers on the spot without giving them any chance of resistance.
After exchanging brief pleasantries with the respectful cultivators of Brightlight City, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, along with their captured prisoners, returned to Celestial Heir City.
Their aim was clear.
They hoped to extract information from these captives about the mole who had leaked their whereabouts.
Though they were aware that extracting the answers they sought from these demonic cultivators wouldn’ t be easy, it was a venture they were still inclined to undertake.
Upon their return to Celestial Heir City with the captives, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were met with a mixture of curiosity and awe.
Sure enough.
The recent fall of the two Dao Integration Saints could not be definitively attributed to them, but given the circumstances, there seemed no one else capable of such a feat.
Especially now, when everyone saw the demonic cultivators captured by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, their uncertain guesses were immediately confirmed.
The involvement of the couple in the demise of the two Dao Integration Saints was almost a certainty.
At that moment, Leng Yuehua also made her appearance atop the city walls of Celestial Heir City.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and said,
“Martial Nephew Jiang and Martial Niece Shen, come to my place first.
Leave these people to others to deal with. I believe it won’t be long before we get some information from them.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not reject Leng Yuehua’s invitation.
They knew that some truths might be concealed from others but not from a Dao Integration Saint like her.
However, in this matter, they had no intention of hiding the truth from her either.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan arrived at her cave abode with Leng Yuehua.
“So, the fall of Saint Black Lotus and Saint Heaven Breaker was indeed your doing?”
Some time later.
Leng Yuehua asked, her face a picture of astonishment as she looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan within her cave abode.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other.
Ultimately, both nodded in agreement.
Being Dao companions, it didn’t really matter who was credited for the act.
To outsiders, regardless of the specifics, they would collectively attribute the deed to both of them.
“Phew!”
After receiving confirmation, Leng Yuehua couldn’t help but release along sigh.
Despite Jiang Chengxuan’s earlier explanations that their ability to kill Saint Black Lotus and Saint Heaven Breaker, and severely injure Saint Dead Soul, was largely due to external aids, the revelation still left her astonished.
After all, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, with their Void Returning Realm, had indeed slain two Dao Integration saints. It was a fact that remained incredibly shocking, especially in the eyes of others.
People wouldn’t care about the means used.
They would only see that, with Void Returning cultivation, two Dao Integration saints were slain and another was severely injured.
Such a feat, such strength, was undoubtedly unprecedented in tens of thousands of years.
“Martial Nephew Jiang, Martial Niece Shen, you can’t continue to stay in Celestial Heir City.”
After a while.
Leng Yuehua, as if struck by a thought, solemnly said to them,
“I will inform the sect leader and your Shifu about this news.
It shouldn’t take long before your Shifu sends an avatar personally to fetch you.
When that happens, you should focus on cultivating within your sect, striving to achieve Dao Integration as soon as possible.”
Hearing Leng Yuehua’s advice, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly nodded in understanding.
If staying in Celestial Heir City was relatively safe before, after this event, continuing to stay there would be exceedingly dangerous.
The demonic path wouldn’t bother with niceties or rules.
Once they pinpointed their location, it would only be a matter of time before a Dao Fusion Saint, the second stage of Dao Integration, would make their presence known.
By then, the defenses of Celestial Heir City might not hold against such a formidable assault.
“Huh…?”
However, developments unfolded far quicker than they had anticipated.
While they were still conversing, a terrifyingly powerful aura rapidly approached Celestial Heir City from the outside, causing the city’s protective array to tremble slightly.
Sensing this sudden change, Jiang Chengxuan and the others within Leng Yuehua’s cave abode couldn’t help but shift their expressions.
“This is? A Dao Fusion Saint.”
They genuinely hadn’t expected the opponent to react and move so swiftly.
They were just formulating their next steps when an opponent had already made their move.
What further surprised Jiang Chengxuan and his companions was the appearance of another incredibly potent aura approaching Celestial Heir City from a different direction.
This new presence, even more formidable than the Dao Fusion Saint, was closing in rapidly.
“That is?”
A look of joy suddenly appeared on the faces of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, recognizing the owner of this aura as none other than Jiang Chengxuan’s Shifu, Qin Shenwu.
Even though it was discerned from the aura that it was not Qin Shenwu’s true body, but merely an avatar, the strength of this avatar far surpassed that of a Dao Fusion Saint.
“Who do I find here but Demon Lord Bone Face from Sacred Skeleton Sect? You’re quite fast.
However, now that you’re here, you might as well stay for good!” roared Qin Shenwu from outside Celestial Heir City.
Sensing Qin Shenwu’s presence flying towards Celestial Heir City, Demon Lord Bone Face instantly paled.
Without a second thought, he transformed into a stream of qi, attempting to escape through the boundless void.
