Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Chapter 174: Battle Results (Third Update)

Xiao Guanglian's defeat meant the other Righteous Disciples could no longer hold it together.

“Let's retreat.”

Mo Shiyao clenched her silver teeth, her body covered in wounds inflicted by the thousand-hand centipede.

She did not want to admit it, but she couldn't even defeat one of Su Jie's poisonous insects, and that was the fact.

Recognizing the reality with the last two remaining Righteous Disciples, Mo Shiyao decisively chose to flee.

“Should we chase them?”

Xiao Fengyuan stood beside Su Jie, his Blood Cang Spear hanging with a corpse drained of blood, clothed in the garments of the Righteous Disciples.

“They must have run to meet with Yu Wenjing. If they get us wrapped up in their scheme, it would be difficult to fight them off. Besides, our main task is to capture Qi Shijian. It's best if we can kill some enemies along the way, but it doesn't matter if we can't, we shouldn't take risks.”

Su Jie shook his head, Xiao Guanglian was not even the strongest among these Righteous Disciples, Yu Wenjing from Qingzhou's biggest sect, Guan Chao Pavilion, was.

Even Xiao Guanglian was so difficult to deal with, possessing many Magic Artifacts and tricks, it took Su Jie a lot of effort just to defeat him.

He didn't dare to imagine how formidable Yu Wenjing would be.

Not to mention that Yu Wenjing had about a dozen Righteous Disciples with him, all skilled members from various sects.

If a real fight broke out, the odds of Su Jie's side winning were extremely low.

However, the battle was not without its gains. Xiao Guanglian had fled, but he hadn't managed to take all his Magic Artifacts with him; he only had time to grab those nearby. As for the Mid Grade Magical Artifacts that were swept up in the Blood River, several of them were left behind at the scene.

The Heaven-breaking Trident, Five Elements Tripod, Purple Jade Sky Staff.

Looking at the three Mid Grade Magical Artifacts they had acquired, a smile inevitably appeared on Su Jie's face.

The price of one Mid Grade Magical Artifact typically ranged from five thousand to ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Only the top-notch or specially effective Mid Grade Magical Artifacts would exceed the price of ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Before this incident, the Sword Nourishing Gourd was the only Mid Grade Magical Artifact Su Jie possessed.

This battle had netted him three more Mid Grade Magical Artifacts. Although these artifacts might not suit him, selling them would still represent a tremendous fortune.

Thinking this, Su Jie turned his gaze to Ning Xinyue, who was currently eyeing the Fire Tower with great delight.

Xiao Guanglian had fled in such a rush that he hadn't managed to reclaim the Fire Tower, and Ning Xinyue ended up snagging it.

Feeling Su Jie's gaze, Ning Xinyue instantly became wary, stuffing the Fire Tower into her Storage Bag and said to Su Jie, “What's up? This is my loot, I'm not giving it to you.”

“You're the laziest in battle, yet the quickest to grab the loot.”

Su Jie pinched Ning Xinyue's delicate cheek, speaking irritably.

Even he had been injured in the fight, but this girl was spotless, clearly not exerting herself at all.

“You taught me to always consider the benefits, why should I exhaust myself to the point of getting hurt or even sacrificing myself? That would be too uneconomical.”

Ning Xinyue rolled her eyes and argued, after all, she wasn't from Ghost Ridge Palace, there was no need for her to die for it.

For Ning Xinyue, it wasn't so much about coveting a top grade Magical Artifact since she was indeed very wealthy. But since she had personally seized this artifact, especially under Su Jie's watchful eye,

Being usually bullied by Su Jie and taken advantage of, having a chance to turn the tables and snag something from him was particularly joyful and worth celebrating for Ning Xinyue.

“Forget it, let's retreat; we don't know if this battle has attracted other enemies.”

Su Jie looked at Ning Xinyue's rascally demeanor, unsure of who she had learned it from, and shook his head before turning to lead the team away from the battlefield.

Su Jie and his two companions carried Qi Shijian, feeding him a sleeping anesthetic to ensure he would not cause any trouble.

Along the way, they dealt with several fierce ghosts, but they faced the same problem that Xiao Guanglian had encountered earlier.

That was the inability to leave the formation that enveloped the entire East Victory City.

Each time they walked not far from the city wall, they would lose their way in the black fog and eerily return to their original location.

“This is the Heavenly Soul Formation, and it seems we can't get out,” Ning Xinyue said, blinking her eyes, her face not tense. She had a talisman that could teleport her away if necessary.

“This is troublesome, Brother Su, do you have any ideas?”

Xiao Fengyuan was not as optimistic as Ning Xinyue; the number of fierce ghosts in East Victory City was increasing. If they stayed any longer, they would eventually be overwhelmed by the ghosts.

Su Jie furrowed his brows in deep thought. He had initially thought that with his powerful Divine Soul Power, he could easily find a flaw in the formation and leave smoothly.

However, Su Jie underestimated the power of the Heavenly Soul Formation. Even his Divine Soul could not find the correct way out. No matter how he explored with his Divine Sense, all he saw was a haze.

“Perhaps…”

Suddenly, Su Jie's gaze turned toward the center of East Victory City, where the Han Mansion was located.

Because he also practiced the Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique, Su Jie could now sense the intense fear and resentment in the black fog, continuously flowing toward the city center.

Combining this with the conversation he had overheard from Zhong Shiguan and Zou Minzun and other elders of the Heavenly Soul Sect, Su Jie speculated.

Those people planned to turn Han Ruyan, the body of the Heavenly Spinning Jade Light, into a ghost, using the whole city for a Blood Sacrifice to grant her extraordinary power upon birth.

At this point, Han Ruyan was surely the Array Eye of the Heavenly Soul Formation; otherwise, the resentment would not be surging in that manner.

“To break the formation, we must first deal with the Array Eye,” Su Jie concluded, surprising Xiao Fengyuan and Ning Xinyue.

“Miss Han turned into a ghost?” Ning Xinyue felt a pang of regret, remembering the stunning sight of Han Ruyan in her wedding dress, saddened by her grim fate.

“Brother Su, you decide, I'll follow your lead,” Xiao Fengyuan said gravely. After their journey together, he had immense trust in Su Jie, who was superior in both combat and intellect; he chose to follow the wise.

“We need to visit the Han Mansion, but not just yet,” Su Jie said, taking out a string of Qilin Crystal Silver Flower Fruits, which he had seized from Xiao Guanglian.

As Xiao Guanglian fled, his arm was severed, and the Qilin Crystal Silver Flower Fruits he was clutching for healing his Divine Soul injuries fell, turning into Su Jie's spoils of war.

“Hopefully, I can take that final step!”

With a slight smile on his lips, Su Jie thought that although Xiao Guanglian liked to burn through money in combat, having gold coins truly made him explode with riches, and he had too many good items on hand, each one desirable.

Right now, this string of Qilin Crystal Silver Flower Fruits was incredibly important for Su Jie.

Su Jie's Divine Soul was only lacking eyes, and this string of Qilin Crystal Silver Flower Fruits might help him take the final step to achieve the Primordial Spirit Soul.
