Chapter 468 - 409: State Preceptor, What Are You Doing!

The Female State Preceptor had a fist-sized blood hole in her lower abdomen.

Her body was a bloody mess, and the wound was terrifyingly grotesque.

On the ground lay broken flesh and torn pieces of the State Preceptor’s robe.

After executing the "Position Exchange" technique, Lin Qingci swapped places with Chu Huaixu.

She immediately formed seals with her hands and cast spells, setting layers of restrictions around herself and performing defense techniques one after another.

Moreover, the robe she wore, as the State Preceptor, was itself a high-grade defensive Spiritual Artifact.

Yet under the casual pointing of Snow Venerable’s finger, everything appeared futile.

The Female State Preceptor of the Eighth Realm was already considered a top expert in the Profound Yellow Realm.

But even a Ninth Realm expert would be humble before Snow Venerable’s finger.

The intense pain instantly made Lin Qingci’s face pale.

Her bare jade feet were also stained with traces of blood.

More importantly, it brought serious internal injuries and shock.

Her body immediately teetered and directly lost the strength to fight.

However, Snow Venerable’s anger also reached its peak because of this.

"How could this happen!"

"How could she still use such bizarre techniques!"

There was no way around it; although Lin Qingci was viewed as a forbidden fruit by the Ancestor Emperor, she was still meticulously taught all the way.

The human emperor who once stood at the pinnacle of the Profound Yellow Realm naturally knew all kinds of mystical techniques.

He had actually sensed Lin Qingci’s presence long ago through the mutual sensing of the Power of Origin.

He just didn’t take her, this Eighth Realm individual, seriously.

And with this finger, Snow Venerable’s power was already exhausted.

He was already using it as sparingly as possible.

Therefore, Snow Venerable didn’t even bother to finish the job, but instead flew in Chu Huaixu’s direction first.

At this moment, every strand of power in his body was exceedingly precious.

But at this moment, the barely breathing Lin Qingci, lying in a pool of blood, had not yet given up on stopping him.

She raised her right hand, formed a seal with one hand, and whispered tremblingly: "Bind!"

In the next moment, waves of green spiritual power erupted from her body, like strands of long rope, rushing towards Snow Venerable.

Snow Venerable dared not use the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to kill Chu Huaixu, but he could use this Innate Supreme Treasure to deal with Lin Qingci.

A Banner Spirit at the Nascent Soul Stage was instantly summoned from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

It took Snow Venerable’s place, bound by the green spiritual power strands, and started struggling and tearing.

Lin Qingci’s eyes, already starting to blur, still struggled to cast her spells.

Her internal organs were in great pain, terribly painful.

She felt her consciousness was also chaotic, almost sinking into a blank state.

The Female State Preceptor had only one thought left.

—Protect Chu Huaixu!

"I can’t die yet, I cannot die yet..."

She began to bite down on the tip of her tongue, forcing herself to stay somewhat clear-headed.

But there were too many places on her body throbbing with pain, making the tongue-biting effect nearly negligible.

Lin Qingci took out a Magical Treasure, which was a small blue-green cup.

It floated up slowly, then quickly expanded, becoming enormously large and immediately descending downward.

Snow Venerable was vexed; his aged, indifferent eyes showed a trace of impatience and some killing intent.

He suddenly swung the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, instantly generating a black stream of air.

The stream also carried black-red, overwhelming demonic flames.

In an instant, it swatted the Magical Treasure away.

Lin Qingci spat another mouthful of blood, her consciousness growing ever hazier.

In the distance, Chu Huaixu watched this scene, his pupils involuntarily constricting again.

He hadn’t realized that Lin Qingci had been following them all along.

What surprised him even more was that she would cast techniques to take Snow Venerable’s finger for him.

"Chu Huaixu!"

"Where do you think you’re running to!"

"Hand your Night Venerable Fruit Position over to me!!"

Snow Venerable’s hoary voice almost stirred Chu Huaixu’s Sea of Consciousness.

But it was quickly stabilized by the Heart Sword and Black Jade Lotus Platform.

Seeing Snow Venerable rapidly approaching, just at this critical moment, a massive Spirit Sword abruptly attacked from behind, accompanied by a gigantic, burning talisman!

Nangong Yue and Li Chunsong appeared before Chu Huaixu, shielding him.

"Master!" Chu Huaixu expressed slight surprise.

"Don’t be afraid; Second Senior Brother is also on his way, just following from afar, he’ll soon arrive." Nangong Yue said.

Nowadays, Daoist Sect’s Second Elder Tai Tingbai had broken through to the Ninth Realm by virtue of the Origin Fragment.

However, he was only newly entering the Ninth Realm, not yet cultivating to the First Heaven of the Ninth Realm.

Li Chunsong spoke with relief, "Fortunately, we were wary of Moon Country people and secretly followed along."

"It’s just that we were far behind, maintaining some distance to avoid Xiahou Yue finding out, planning to infiltrate the Moon Country Capital half an hour later than you guys."

"Unexpectedly, we encountered such an event!"

Chu Huaixu understood what was going on as soon as he heard this.

He had almost encountered misfortune earlier at the Emperor’s Pool of Moon Country.

The senior figures of the Daoist Sect ultimately didn’t trust Xiahou Yue and the old Emperor.

It seems they were silently trailing all along the way.

The equivalent of Lin Qingci following from behind, while they two were even further back.

Tai Tingbai probably feared the mutual sensing between the Power of Origin, so he deliberately widened the distance, staying even further behind Nangong Yue and Li Chunsong!

And this trailing contingent had left Snow Venerable and the Black Moon Sect Leader quite troubled.

Damn, why are there so many one after another!

Things suddenly became extremely tricky.

If it were a few days ago, they would have had confidence in killing them all.

But he had already fallen realm and was continuously suffering backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

"What do we do!" came the anxious voice of the Black Moon Sect Leader.

"Shut up!" Snow Venerable’s tone carried a hint of anger.

And right at this moment, the figure of the Daoist Sect’s Second Elder, Tai Tingbai, had already appeared, flying closer and closer.

Snow Venerable decisively made a decision.

He looked painfully at his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Old buddy, I’ll have to rely on you this time."

The Black Banner floated in the air and then began to burn.

It didn’t take long before half of the Black Banner was burned away.

Yet in its center, a force that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and earth began to converge.

Snow Venerable opened his mouth, and these forces surged into his mouth.

He couldn’t help but let out a heart-wrenching howl.

Li Chunsong and the others were, of course, no fools.

There’s no way they’d just watch him cast his technique.

Three Daoist Sect Elders immediately acted together, and with exceptional coordination.

After years of being fellow apprentices, their teamwork was naturally flawless.

However, the Innate Supreme Treasure is after all the first treasure below the Fruit Position.

The power it contained was quite terrifying.

Snow Venerable was originally quite reluctant.

But upon thinking that soon he would obtain the Donghuang Ring, even if half of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was destroyed, it was still a gain.

Moreover, given the current situation, he had no other choice.

To blame was only that he had been reduced to just a Primordial Spirit.

To blame was that the Black Moon Sect Leader’s body was too weak!

As more and more power surged into his body, a towering black shadow appeared behind Snow Venerable.

The shadow waved its huge hand, slapping away the Lifebound Spiritual Artifacts of the three Daoist Sect Elders.

Just the aftermath of this force alone caused Chu Huaixu to be directly blasted away!

With his extraordinary physique, he instantly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, suffering severe internal injuries.

"It’s really like the immortals fighting while mortals suffer." Dead Fox’s mentality was surprisingly good.

His desire for power now reached its peak once more.

I am too weak, still too weak!

"Damn it, old Yue, you better not be dead!"

"Where the hell did you go!" Chu Huaixu cursed inwardly.

Xiahou Yue had taken him down the mountain; he was the prime person responsible here.

Just as his curses fell, the heavily injured Xiahou Yue dragged his wounded body into the battlefield from behind.

The four experts of the Profound Yellow Realm joined forces against Snow Venerable’s Primordial Spirit from Kunlun Cave Heaven, but gained not a slight advantage.

Chu Huaixu saw people getting knocked from the sky from time to time.

This could not help but make him look down at the Donghuang Ring in his hand.

"This is.... the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure?"

If he could do it, then could I possibly too?

He began trying to drive the ring in his hand.

In this process, he squeezed out the power contained within the Black Jade Lotus Platform as much as possible.

But all was in vain.

His "unlocking method" seemed incorrect!

"Damn it!"

"How the hell do you use this thing!"

At that moment, he watched as Nangong Yue got struck and sent flying.

She spat blood, violently crashing into a large mountain.

Chu Huaixu instantly became very worried.

From the current situation, these four could not hold on for much longer.

The gigantic shadow behind Snow Venerable seemed to possess an unmatched power!

Yet, the next moment, a non-human voice echoed around.

"So lively, nya——."
