Chapter 839 - 342: Capturing the Nascent Soul by Hand, Void Legacy (2)

Why did they suddenly attack me? So that’s the reason.

But it’s not right.

Chu Ning quickly sent a message to the Spirit Beast Bag at this moment:

"Elder Turtle, did you hear their secret conversations at that time?"

"No, there’s a restriction at the entrance of the Inner Hall. If they communicate inside, I can’t hear it."

Upon hearing the giant turtle’s response, Chu Ning somewhat believed Qiu Qijun’s words.

Qiu Qijun continued to shout:

"I was out of my mind at that time, and I thought Fellow Daoist might be very familiar with the Void Abyss. It wouldn’t hurt to try conveniently.

It was my fault. After all, Fellow Daoist hasn’t suffered any harm. As long as you are willing to cease, I would like to offer treasures to make amends.

Besides, you can see, I don’t have a physical body now, so I pose no threat to you."

Chu Ning executed a technique, and the Five Elements Sword Array still trapped Qiu Qijun’s Nascent Soul, but it did not launch an attack.

At this moment, he asked lightly:

"What about the Illusion Spirit Sect? Why did they seek me?"

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Qiu Qijun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and responded:

"The Sect Leader of the Illusion Spirit Sect and the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect have not seen their juniors come out because in the end, only you and those two were left inside.

They suspect the two might have something to do with you and are investigating your whereabouts."

Chu Ning’s eyebrows lifted slightly, these two indeed have sharp instincts.

The top-level forces on the three lands of Northern Cold—the Changkong Hall, Illusion Spirit Sect, and Ten Thousand Beasts Sect—are all searching for me.

It seems I definitely cannot stay here any longer.

Otherwise, if any clues are exposed, it will lead to catastrophic consequences.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Chu Ning spoke again:

"One last question, what’s the situation at the entrance of the valley now, why was your physical body destroyed, and why did you escape into the valley?

Is there another way out of this valley?"

"The entrance of the valley is in chaos right now." Qiu Qijun answered extremely straightforwardly.

"A Divine Platform exploded inside the Void Hall. Everyone is guessing that the treasure of the Void Sect, the Void Mirror, has emerged.

At present, Changkong Hall and Illusion Spirit Sect each have their own faction. We loose cultivators are naturally the first targets.

I was stopped by Lu Xuedao, who teamed up with other cultivators to attack, that’s how my physical body was destroyed.

If I hadn’t been prepared and forcefully escaped with my Nascent Soul, I might have already perished completely."

Qiu Qijun’s voice was tinged with resentment, and then he sneered.

"However, it’s only a matter of time before the two sides fight. Changkong Hall is not far from here.

The reason only one of the three Hall Masters from Changkong Hall has appeared is likely because the other two are near Snow Mist Valley.

As soon as they receive a signal from Lu Xuedao, they will definitely come.

As for Illusion Spirit Sect, they may also have backup, and Nascent Soul cultivators from both sides should be on their way here."

Chu Ning’s eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

If what Qiu Qijun said is true, it might indeed be difficult to leave the valley entrance.

Perhaps I’ll need to remain concealed in Snow Mist Valley longer.

But who knows if Snow Mist Valley holds other dangers.

At this moment, Chu Ning saw Qiu Qijun fall silent suddenly. His gaze slightly flickered before speaking faintly again:

"You haven’t fully answered what I asked earlier, have you?

Why did you flee into the valley? Is there another way out?"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I’ve already answered you." Qiu Qijun’s Nascent Soul exhibited a look of helplessness.

"With many Nascent Soul cultivators gathered outside, I dare not run outside, so I fled in here."

"Oh, is that so?" Chu Ning responded blandly.

The next moment, he pointed towards the Five Elements Sword Array in front.

Immediately, several dozen streaks of Sword Aura shot out from the five-colored light pillar.

Qiu Qijun was not unprepared, but he was still caught off guard by Chu Ning’s attack.

The Nascent Soul figure cast spells continuously in defense, but eventually, a Sword Aura pierced through his body.

Instantly, that Nascent Soul figure wilted a bit, watching the Sword Aura shoot out again from the five-colored light pillar, and cried out in shock.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, stop! I’ll say it, I’ll say it!

There indeed is another passage in Snow Mist Valley that leads out..."

A short while later, Chu Ning’s figure appeared in a mountain forest on the eastside of Snow Mist Valley.

Beside him was a listless Nascent Soul, flying in retreat.

It was Qiu Qijun.

Even though the counterpart seemed very cooperative and disclosed a secret Chu Ning had never known, Chu Ning did not let him off easily.

He tormented the Nascent Soul with the Five Elements Sword Array, draining much of his Primordial Qi, and then placed a restriction on that Nascent Soul.

Only then did Chu Ning, under Qiu Qijun’s guidance, reach this secluded mountain.

Given Chu Ning’s Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, placing a restriction on Qiu Qijun’s Nascent Soul was somewhat challenging.

But Qiu Qijun’s Nascent Soul was damaged and actively cooperated.

Furthermore, Chu Ning’s restriction technique came from the Jiuhua Sect’s lineage and was notably effective.

"The place you mentioned is right here?"

Chu Ning looked at a pool amidst the mountains, his gaze carrying a hint of doubt, and asked Qiu Qijun.

Qiu Qijun was restrained at this moment, his heart full of grievances, yet he could only cooperate and say:

"Correct, according to the Ancient Map of the Void Abyss I obtained earlier.

Snow Mist Valley and Void Abyss were originally one, and the Void Sect deliberately left a concealed spatial passage here, directly connected to the Endless Sea."
