Soul Beast let out a piercing scream upon realizing it had fallen into an ambush. The sound was not only shrill but also carried a chilling power that momentarily slowed the six Divine Separation Practitioners who were trying to intercept it.
In contrast, Xu Feng and his group of Yuan Ying Cultivators were unaffected. With a swift motion, the ten of them lined up in formation, blocking the path of the Soul Beast. However, the Soul Beast disregarded these Yuan Ying Cultivators and charged straight through.
The six Divine Separation Practitioners were indeed formidable. After being hit by the Soul Beast's soul attack, their speed did not diminish significantly. They leaped forward, managing to block the Soul Beast just before it entered the water at the Shore.
"Where do you think you're going!" Nongye shouted as he struck out with his palm. This attack resembled Qiao Li's Purple Hand Seal, creating a massive palm imprint that engulfed the Soul Beast. Once out of the water, the Soul Beast was considerably slower. After being struck by Nongye, it let out a cry of agony, but its exceptionally strong defensive hide absorbed much of the impact. The Soul Beast rolled over and got back on its feet.
At that moment, five Supreme Treasure Swords struck as well while the Soul Beast was down. Comparable to a Superior Magical Artifact, its claws swiped left and right, successfully deflecting all five swords and preventing them from penetrating.
However, there was still a significant gap in strength; the Soul Beast, being only a Seventh-Level Monster, was equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage. If it were in the water, combined with its soul attack techniques, even a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator might struggle to capture it. But on land at the Shore, the Soul Beast could only rely on its soul attack, which was less effective here, while the Divine Separation Stage cultivators possessed strong Soul Power.
With a fierce assault from all six practitioners, the Soul Beast quickly found itself overwhelmed, sustaining multiple injuries. As it faced imminent defeat, it let out a series of desperate screams that expanded its area of effect significantly. The first to suffer were the ten nearby Yuan Ying Cultivators, who were all shaken except for Xu Feng. The other nine coughed up blood, with several weaker ones collapsing into the water.
"Hold your ground! This is the last attack from the Soul Beast!" shouted Farming. Everyone knew this was its final struggle, but whether they could withstand it was another matter entirely. The closest to the action, Nongye, was momentarily stunned and lost focus on the beach. The three members of the Xu family were injured but not severely.
The Soul Beast howled ten times in desperation until its own soul power was depleted. Seizing an opening created by Nongye, it leaped over several Yuan Ying Cultivators and plunged into the sea.
"Trying to escape!" Seeing that victory was within reach, Farming gritted his teeth and dove into the water alongside the three members of the Xu family. The influence of the formation kept the Soul Beast from going too deep into the water due to its injuries. Xu Qingshan was the first to arrive; with a swift motion of his sword, he struck down before the Soul Beast could even let out another cry, cleaving it in two.
A dark demon core rolled out from its head.
"Soul Nourishing Pearl" exclaimed Xu Feng, recognizing it immediately. This pearl was twice as large as the one left by Yang Wei, and its quality was evident at first glance.
From when he learned that Xu Ruchu was searching for a Soul Beast, he had suspected they might be after a Soul Nourishing Pearl. He never expected his guess would be correct.
After collecting the Soul Nourishing Pearl, Farming also stored away the corpse of the Soul Beast. The three members of the Xu family seemed uninterested in anything else on it or perhaps did not want to compete with those from Shennong Valley for it.
Poor Soul Beast, lured by the temptation of the Giant Head Beast, ended up being taken down by six powerful Divine Separation Practitioners. After three years of effort, the Xu Farming Team finally succeeded in hunting down a Soul Beast.
Emerging from the water, Farming saw that the Xu family's Yuan Ying Cultivators were in disarray, and even three of the six practitioners looked unwell—evidence of damage inflicted by the last desperate attack from the Soul Beast.
Farming suddenly went mad and rushed out, shouting, “Second Brother Third Brother!”
His shout startled everyone else. Farming stood where Nongye Nongmu had just been, desperately searching in the water. The sea was a bloody red, but there was no sign of Nongye Nongmu.
Xu Qingshan was alarmed and shouted, “Protect Elder Sister!” Two Divine Separation Stage Cultivators immediately flew to Xu Ruchu’s side.
It was too strange; from Nongye Nongmu being ambushed to Farming killing the Soul Beast, it had only been a minute, and Nongye and Nongmu had mysteriously vanished. Judging by Farming’s expression, the two must be in grave danger. Who possessed such powerful means to kill two people in an instant?
The four previously fallen Divine Separation Stage experts had also mysteriously disappeared after being attacked by the Soul Beast. Through soul sensing, it was confirmed they had been killed. Those four were attacked in the deep sea and were isolated, which could be understood. However, Nongye and Nongmu were on the Shore, where no beasts would come ashore, and the soul attack from the Soul Beast should not have been fatal to them. Who could have killed them?
Xu Feng had been guarding Xu Ruchu, who was shaken by sadness, taking on the responsibility of Jin Lema. Nongye and Nongmu were only a hundred meters away from them, yet they had no idea how they disappeared.
“Who are you! Who are you!” Farming frantically scanned the surface of the sea, but it was vast and empty.
At that moment, the vigilant Xu Qingshan suddenly flew out and shot an arrow into the nearby sea. Immediately after, a water column erupted as three figures leaped from the water, battling fiercely in the sky, one of whom was Xu Qingshan.
The two opponents facing Xu Qingshan were both Divine Separation Stage Cultivators, dressed in light blue clothing that blended with the sea, making them hard to spot. Both had swords stabbed into them—not their own swords but those of Nongye and Nongmu. The swords pierced through their chests but did not kill them outright.
“Assassins!” Farming recognized these two; they were indeed assassins from Ming Mountain. With a loud roar, he charged forward while the two other members of the Xu family joined the fray. In an instant, four people surrounded the two heavily injured assassins.
Ming Mountain was ranked eighth among the sects of Zhenguo Xian Dao. This sect operated like a covert organization; no one knew its exact location. To find them, one could only connect through underground forces. Years ago, when Xiao Xiao sent Young Master Xiao Duan, it was to contact Ming Mountain, which led him to meet Cai Shujun in Xibai City.
mMing Mountain was an assassin organization; as long as you paid, they would do anything. They had thirty-six assassins under their name, each with strength above the Divine Separation Stage, and their leader was already a powerhouse at the Great Perfection Stage. The two assassins that appeared now clearly had lesser strength, only at the early stage of spirit separation.
The two assassins were already heavily injured; during their assassination attempt on Nongye and Nongmu, they had each been stabbed once. Under attack from four people, they quickly faltered—one exploded on impact while the other was pierced by four swords, turning into a pincushion.
“Who sent you? Come out; I will let you go!” Farming’s eyes were bloodshot. This time, five members from Ming Mountain came looking for the Soul Beast, and now he was left alone.
The heavily injured assassin wore a cold smile. “You know you won’t get an answer; why even ask? I won’t tell you anything because I don’t know—I just kill.”
Farming snarled fiercely: “Others may not be able to do so, but I can. Don’t blame me.”
The Inspector exclaimed, "You..."
Farming cast several seals to control the Inspector's spiritual power, then a ball of true fire enveloped him. In the fierce flames, the Inspector was quickly burned away, and a half-foot tall Yuan Ying screamed in the fire.
With a hiss, the Yuan Ying vanished, and a master of Separation of Spirit was erased.
"Soul Searching Technique!"
The three masters from the Xu family knew this was a Cultivation Method passed down from the demon clan, and they were not surprised. If Farming did not do this, they would have done it as well. This time, Ming Mountain had killed not only those from Shennong Valley, but also two masters of Separation of Spirit from the Xu family who might have died at their hands.
No wonder the previous four had died inexplicably; it turned out that after being attacked by the Soul Beast, in that moment of distraction, two lives were suddenly threatened by the Inspector. How could they possibly survive? Later, when they encountered the powerful Nongye and Nongmu, they ended up in a mutually destructive situation.
The other Yuan Ying Cultivators were sitting on the sea surface healing their wounds and could not pay attention to this side. Only Xu Feng observed everything closely. After the impact from the Soul Beast, Xu Feng roughly understood his own Soul Power strength. Advancing to the Mid Stage of Nascent Soul, his Soul Power took another significant leap, comparable to that of a Mid Stage of Spirit Separation. The soul attack from this Soul Beast had a profound effect on him.
In terms of Soul Power, among everyone present, Xu Feng was the highest.
After a while, Farming finished his work and opened his eyes. Xu Qingshan asked, "How is it, Farming?"
Farming snorted, "Indeed, there is no information about an employer in this person's memories. The previous four were all killed by these two."
Xu Qingshan walked up to Xu Ruchu and informed her about the Inspector's matter. However, Xu Ruchu could not figure out who had hired Ming Mountain.
Seeing her subordinates suffer losses, Xu Ruchu said to Farming, "Senior Nong, now that we have captured the Soul Beast, let's return to Minghu City. There are many monsters here; if we encounter an Eighth-Rank Monster, it would be troublesome. As for today's events, once I return, I will definitely report to the family head and uncover the true culprit behind this."
Farming sighed, "Those who dare to assassinate someone from Shennong Valley, even if we find out who they are, we may not be able to act against them. We thought our outing was very secretive; little did we know they had already noticed." It seemed that Farming had already guessed who was behind it all.
Located south of Red Lake, with Daming Lake situated north and south apart, Shennong Valley was much stronger than the Pingdao Sect, ranking third in Zheguo. Those who dared to strike against them were few and far between.
As both sides prepared to part ways, Xu Qingshan suddenly said, "Farming, you should come back with us to Daming Lake. Now that you possess a Soul Beast, you cannot afford any mishaps." His words startled everyone; could there still be someone lurking in the shadows?
After thinking for a moment, Farming replied, "Then I will trouble you." He agreed with Xu Qingshan's suggestion to return to Daming Lake, then let Shennong Valley send experts over for support. His strength was the weakest among the five this time; what mattered most was his understanding of the Soul Beast. If he returned alone and encountered another Inspector from Ming Mountain, he would likely face great danger.
The crowd focused their direction and flew towards the exit of the Chaotic Sea.
After a fierce battle, the surface of the sea returned to calmness, darkening as the sunset cast a fiery glow over the water.
Flying for ten miles, they spotted a Purple-Haired Monk walking leisurely on the waves, appearing relaxed and unbothered, as if strolling through a garden. He seemed completely indifferent to the monstrous creatures rampaging in the Chaotic Sea, and surprisingly, everything around him was eerily calm, with not even a fish or shrimp jumping out.
The Purple-Haired Monk was dressed in red, making him particularly eye-catching on the water. Xu Feng flew closer and couldn't help but take another look. Turning back, he noticed that Xu Qingshan and Farming were also watching the Purple-Haired Monk.
The monk walked on the waves, and it was impossible to discern his cultivation level. As they flew past him, they heard the Purple-Haired Monk speak slowly, “Since you have come to the Chaotic Sea, why not stay a while longer? It would be my pleasure to host you.”
At this moment, those from Sky felt as if they had hit a wall of air and could no longer fly past.
Xu Feng felt a chill in his heart; this was trouble.
Farming's face turned pale as he muttered, “Eighth-Rank Monster…”
