Chapter 2131: Chapter 2131: Heart Inquiry Formation, Qi Refinement Third Level Ye Qiubai

No one could have thought of it.

In this situation, someone actually dared to ambush Netherworld King and his group to seize opportunities.

With such a lineup on the opposing side, even if you did seize something, could you escape?

Your life would be at risk.

However, the incident happened too suddenly, the dagger pierced through the space towards Netherworld King at a speed too fast; even Qu Lv and Great Elder Chu, who both flashed towards Netherworld King, couldn’t make it in time.

Meanwhile, Hong Ying and Ning Chenxin were at a crucial point of realization, completely unable to manage this.

Suddenly.

A soul avatar rushed out from the Yuncang Sword, it was the Green Cloud Sword Master!

Green Cloud Sword Master grabbed the Yuncang Sword but didn’t confront the dagger head-on with the sword tip.

If they directly confronted the dagger with the sword tip, the grade of this dagger would still pose a risk to Netherworld King.

This is where battle experience comes into play.

Green Cloud Sword Master, wielding the Yuncang Sword, twisted his wrist as the sword tip strayed below the dagger, flicking upwards!

Although the dagger wasn’t directly flicked away, it deviated from its straight trajectory, slightly upwards.

The time gained was merely a breath.

But this was enough to buy Qu Lv and Great Elder Chu valuable time for rescue.

Qu Lv and Great Elder Chu, demonstrating great coordination, trapped the dagger between them, reaching out with their hands, grasping at the dagger.

Imprisoning it with the power of the Dao Law.

This was the safest way, avoiding residual waves during the attack that might affect the crucial moment of Netherworld King’s realization.

When the dagger lost its power, Qu Lv and Great Elder Chu immediately locked their eyes on the woman shrouded in a purple robe.

Great Elder Chu reached out a hand, grabbed her from the void and pulled her over.

"Who gave you the guts? To dare touch a friend of the Chu family?" Great Elder Chu snorted coldly, lifting her hood.

It was the woman of the Ancestor of the Nether River Sect, Wu Xinyan!

"Nether River Sect?" Clearly, Great Elder Chu had previously researched the forces of Nether River City. "I heard your Nether River Sect is also a dog under the Holy Sect? Our oversight, didn’t expect remnants of the Holy Sect here."

Wu Xinyan’s face twisted into a sneer, "It’s got nothing to do with the Holy Sect, it’s personal grudges!"

Personal grudge?

The First Elder glanced back at Netherworld King, frowning, "He’s got a grudge with you?"

Wu Xinyan chuckled, "Want to know? Go ask these little brats yourself when you’re in the Netherworld!"

After speaking, Wu Xinyan discreetly formed a seal with her right hand.

Beside them, Qu Lv’s expression changed drastically, looking towards the dagger wanting to take action, but it was too late.

The dagger suddenly emitted a purple divine glow, covering the entire area!

When the divine glow faded, Netherworld King was seen enveloped by a purple petal.

"Heart Inquiry Lotus..." Qu Lv’s face turned solemn.

The First Elder looked at Wu Xinyan, eyes filled with killing intent, "You dare play tricks in my presence, are you truly unafraid of death?"

Yet Wu Xinyan showed no fear, taunting, "Aren’t I just helping him improve his strength? I even used Heart Inquiry Lotus, which even I’m reluctant to use, shouldn’t you thank me?"

The Heart Inquiry Lotus isn’t a weapon of slaughter, it’s a precious treasure usually used to mend one’s state of mind and perfect the Spirit Platform.

By using this item, one could be dragged into a Heart Inquiry Formation, breaking their Heart Demon to make the state of mind more perfect.

However... even though it’s a treasure.

If used in the wrong scenario, it becomes a deadly weapon!

Currently, Netherworld King is at a crucial point of realization, his state of mind mustn’t be affected, he must be fully focused!

Being dragged into a Heart Inquiry Formation would make him confront the deepest-seated Heart Demon.

During this process, how could it not affect the state of mind?

In such a period, if the state of mind is disturbed, not only would the realization fail, but even his Dao foundation might not be preserved... more seriously, the state of mind could directly collapse, suffering a backlash from the Yang Dao, leading to the destruction of the soul!

It’s truly vicious.

The First Elder snorted coldly, applying force with his hand.

Crack...

Wu Xinyan’s neck was crushed, a surge of dark force shattered her Dantian heart and soul in an instant.

Wu Xinyan’s head slumped powerlessly on her shoulder, dying with eyes open!

A flame arose, burning Wu Xinyan’s corpse to ashes.

Then turning around to look at Netherworld King, his face grave, "Such a small Nether River Sect, how did they obtain Heart Inquiry Lotus?"

Qu Lv sighed, "It could only be the Holy Sect... but dwelling on this now is pointless, once dragged into the Heart Inquiry Formation, no external force can be used, everything depends on his fate."

Behind them, Chu Yan also wore a grim expression, things happening right under their noses.

When Hong Ying awakens, how will this be explained?

"Holy Sect..." Chu Yan clenched his fists.

——

——

"Where is this?"

Netherworld King looked at the environment around him, his unfocused pupils gradually gathering.

Everything around was so familiar.

The material of the main door.

The position of the stone lions at the entrance.

Netherworld King walked forward, crouched down, and touched a chipped part at the base of the stone lion, a mark left from practicing swordplay when he was a child.

Standing up, he raised his head.

On the plaque of the main door, the word "Ye" was carved.

"How did I return home?" Netherworld King frowned, quickly realizing he was likely dragged into some illusion.

Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes.

Sword Heart Profundity.

Most illusions had no effect on Netherworld King, he could instantly see through them.

However.

Even with Sword Heart scanning around, everything remained so real.

"Isn’t that the Ye family’s young master who lost all his talent? Evicted?"

"Shh! Don’t say that, even if he’s lost his talent, he’s still the young master of the Ye family, can’t afford to provoke him!"

"True, and it seems the Jiang family also broke off the engagement, let’s not tempt fate now, move on."

Talent lost?

Engagement broken?

Has this illusion altered the timeline?

By calculation, this should be the day before the talent test, the day before leaving the Ye family?

Feeling the aura within himself, even his cultivation level had dropped to what it was back then... Qi Refinement Third Level.

Netherworld King shook his head, "Let’s take it one step at a time."

He then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened from the inside.

It was two servants of the Ye family.

One of the servants smirked, "Isn’t this Netherworld King? Why return now, really planning to join tomorrow’s talent test? If I were you, I’d have no face to come back."

The other servant remained silent, looking at Netherworld King with a gaze full of pity.

Netherworld King didn’t react with anger as before.

His state of mind was long different from that time.

But revisiting the experience, he found it quite interesting.

Netherworld King chuckled and patted the shoulder of the smirking servant, saying, "No matter who it is, treat others with a bit more politeness, speak kindly; even if someone lacks talent, it doesn’t harm you, and if they are hiding their talent or might rise again in the future... wouldn’t it be your loss?"

After speaking, he nodded at the silent servant and stepped inside.

The servant was utterly baffled, watching the back of Netherworld King, muttering, "Like seeing a ghost... why does Netherworld King seem completely different from before?"
