Chapter 1111: Chapter 741: Return to Starlight

At this moment, Master Xuan Shi harbored no illusions, and resorted immediately to his most treasured methods.

He hoped the Soul Capturing Demon Sound could slightly shake the opponent’s Divine Soul, earning him a chance to escape.

As for defeating the enemy in nine sounds?

Master Xuan Shi didn’t dare to think of it.

Divine Power Realm Body Refining!

The number one Body Cultivator in Song Country!

Nascent Soul Level Corpse Refinement!

Such a figure hadn’t erased the Divine Soul Mark from his disciple’s Demon Artifact.

Deliberately slowed down, waiting for him to catch up.

This was clearly the trap of inviting the enemy into their own space!

All he wanted now was to escape, as far away as possible!

"This bell is quite a decent thing."

Just as the Soul Capturing Bell rang a second time and the demon sound spread.

Shen Xuan moved.

His figure suddenly expanded!

In a burst of golden light, a ten-foot-tall, gold-bodied Dharma Aspect appeared, wearing Flowing Gold Flood Dragon Flame Armor, with a blue face and tusks, muscles knotted.

Behind him, the majestic image of a Divine Dragon spun around, singing long, and the dragon’s might was overwhelming.

A giant hand covered with pale gold dragon scales reached out, ignoring the Soul Capturing Demon Sound, like lightning.

The five fingers suddenly closed, grasping the millstone-sized shadow bird Soul Capturing Bell into its palm.

The bell stopped ringing abruptly, and the demon sound scattered.

"Just right, it’s a gift for an old friend, as a token of thanks."

Shen Xuan’s voice echoed from the Dharma Aspect, booming like thunder.

The old friend he referred to was naturally Li Ruyi.

This person had managed the Starlight Island Research Institute on his behalf for forty years, a considerable contribution.

Li Ruyi was originally a Nether Cultivator reincarnated, and this treasure was quite useful for her.

"Puff!"

Having his Lifebound Demon Treasure forcibly taken, Master Xuan Shi seemed struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his breath wilted.

He hadn’t time to react, as another sky-covering giant hand descended upon his head.

The five fingers were like mountains, sealing all directions.

Master Xuan Shi only saw darkness before him, feeling endless fear and despair.

The massive power came upon him.

"Crack!"

The Protective Demon Shield shattered upon impact, and his bones broke inch by inch.

Master Xuan Shi couldn’t even scream, his vision darkening, fainting away.

Shen Xuan, embodied in the golden Dharma Aspect, appeared indifferent, without a trace of compassion.

A virtual giant hand pressed, capturing the unconscious Master Xuan Shi into the air before him, while the other hand gently rested upon the top of his skull.

Soul Search technique, activated!

Performing Soul Search on a living person yields more complete and clear information.

However, this process is akin to the harshest of worldly punishments for the one being searched, like slow torture.

Afterwards, it inevitably leaves an irreversible Divine Soul wound.

Yet, for Master Xuan Shi, it was no longer important.

Massive memory information surged into Shen Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

Secrets of the Corpse Refining Sect, movements of the Demon Dao in Liang Country, internal currents in Song Country, scattered ancient secrets...

Numerous valuable pieces of information were extracted.

Moments later, Shen Xuan retracted his palm, his eyes flashed coldly, pointing with two fingers.

The remaining Divine Soul of Master Xuan Shi silently perished.

Such Holy Pill Demon Lords, their Flesh Body long deeply corroded by Demonic Qi.

After life ends, the value of Corpse Refinement is low.

Shen Xuan took the Storage Pouch from his waist, casually sealing his body into a Corpse Nourishing Gourd.

At this moment, the blood demon corpse, with its chest pierced and standing motionless on the spot, lost Master Xuan Shi’s control, standing like a puppet with broken strings.

The two spots of scarlet soul fire in its eyes still flickered weakly.

Shen Xuan pondered briefly, raising his hand to release a new Corpse Nourishing Gourd.

The mouth of the gourd emitted a mysterious light, slowly capturing the towering blood demon corpse.

...

From Master Xuan Shi’s arrival with overwhelming demonic might to his capture and Soul Search, death and disappearance, it all took less than just a hundred breaths.

Wang Hao and Mo Kexin stood aside, witnessing the entire process.

Their hearts surged with reverence, mixed with a bit more envy.

This was the dean they envisioned!

Not only of noble character, carrying heavy virtue, but also profoundly skilled in Daoist Techniques, invincible.

The fearsome Master Xuan Shi, in front of the dean, was like clay chickens and pottery dogs, utterly defeated!

Truly the creator of the Starlight Research Institute, their supreme respected teacher.

This battle also taught them a vivid lesson.

The unwritten rules of the Song and Liang Daoist Demon War are impotent in the face of a true strongman.

The reason for abiding by rules is often due to the lack of power to break them.

The dean’s use of Corpse Refinement against Corpse Refinement was a silent lesson.

Guarding the Dao techniques is inherently neutral, without distinction of good or evil.

As long as they are useful, they are good.

While both were Corpse Refinements, what Master Xuan Shi refined was overflowing with demonic qi, sinister.

The dean’s controlled, wrapped in Celestial Thunder, with scorching fire, Sword Qi soaring, brimming with righteous spirit.

In fact, Shen Xuan had multiple considerations for killing Master Xuan Shi.

First, it announced to the outside world the return of True Master Profound Ice.

Various forces should be more restrained in their dealings with Starlight Island.

He was not a murderous combat-hungry person, making fewer enemies when possible.

Forgive as one can, especially amid the Cultivation Realm’s internal and external problems.

Second, intimidating the Demon Sect of Liang Country.

Make them ponder, northward invasion of Song Country requires a terrible price.

As for soul-searching Master Xuan Shi for core intelligence of Liang Country Demon Sect, it was naturally apt.

In the past, lack of strength made it difficult to contend.

Now, it’s entirely different.

Outside Yueqi City, Shen Xuan heavily injured the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquito Emperor, boosting his confidence.

With many trump cards in hand, brimming with prowess.

Even if the Demon Infant Patriarch came personally, he also wouldn’t fear.

Showing weakness is not a good strategy against the Demon Sect of Liang Country.

Displaying fangs at the right time, demonstrating strength, earns more respect from the other side.

Maintaining an image in front of academy disciples was never in Shen Xuan’s consideration.

It’s fair to say Wang Hao and Mo Kexin overthought it.

Shen Xuan would never sacrifice himself for the big picture.

Simply, not forgetting the initial cultivation ambition.
