Chapter 377: Chapter 191: Battle Against the Azure Flame Sect’s Golden Cores: Triple Kill

Yunxiang Daoist, in particular, threw herself in front of Zixiao Zhenren, putting her life on the line to block for him.

And in that moment of delay, Xiao Chen had already rushed back.

As was his habit, he first found the one who looked like the easiest target, Gui Yan Zhenren. "Seven-Star Swordsmanship: Phecda."

The reason he didn’t use the True Yang Nine Dragon Dance, opting for a Tier Two Magic instead, was not that he feared he couldn’t win. On the contrary, he was worried that if he struck too fiercely and killed them instantly, it would prevent him from collecting their Essence.

He couldn’t help it. Judging from its recent performance in battle, the True Yang Fire Dragon was simply too ferocious.

Seeing the sword technique about to strike him, Gui Yan Zhenren hastily pulled out a Jade Pendant and crushed it. A layer of golden light immediately enveloped his body, easily deflecting the incoming Sword Light.

Then, without a second thought, he turned and tried to flee.

But while his feet, still on his Flying Sword, had already shot several hundred yards away, his upper body was left behind.

Phecda was edgeless; the Sword Light was merely a phantom meant to deceive the enemy.

Xiao Chen waved the White Bone Soul-Calling Banner and collected another Essence.

He then repeated the process, successfully capturing the last one, Zixiao Zhenren, within the banner as well.

At this point, all three Golden Core cultivators of the Azure Flame Sect had been reduced to Magic Soul Puppets.

This also meant that the Azure Flame Sect had been essentially annihilated.

Although some Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators remained, they were no longer capable of causing any trouble.

A lone white cloud drifted away on the horizon.

Xiao Chen glanced over. With his superior Divine Sense, he had long ago discovered Thousand Bamboo True Man hiding inside that cloud, observing the battle.

For some unknown reason, the man had simply been watching, showing no intention of making a move.

’Since he didn’t make a move, and we have no prior grievances, I might as well let him go. I’m not the type to slaughter the innocent indiscriminately, after all.’

"As they say, when you pull up weeds, you must get the roots. Now that things here are settled, I plan to make a trip to Azure Flame Peak."

Xiao Chen looked at Master Ming Yan. "Do you and Yunxiang Daoist want to come with me?"

The two of them shook their heads in unison, showing no intention of following him to the Azure Flame Sect’s Warehouse to share the spoils of war.

To be fair, aside from briefly stalling the enemy’s escape, the two of them had played almost no part in the victory.

Therefore, they were too embarrassed to claim a share of the spoils.

At the same time, Yunxiang Daoist was focused on retaking Li Huo Market and resolving the battle between the Low Tier cultivators below.

Even though she was injured and had just fought another battle, leaving her with less than a tenth of her usual strength, dealing with Foundation Establishment Cultivators was still a simple matter with the Spiritual Artifact in her hand.

As for Master Ming Yan, he also had a very important matter to attend to.

After watching Xiao Chen’s figure disappear over the horizon, Master Ming Yan immediately returned to Qi Yun Peak. He activated the mountain’s sealing Array to prevent any Low Tier cultivators from entering or leaving.

He then personally led the Law Enforcement Hall to begin a manhunt for every member of the Jiang Family.

He brought the others along because he was worried he wouldn’t be able to recognize every member of the Jiang Family, allowing some to slip through the net.

An Honored Guest Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was stunned by the order. "Excuse me, Daoist, but what crime has the Jiang Family committed to warrant a list of the entire clan for arrest?"

Master Ming Yan raised an eyebrow. "Just arrest them. Don’t let a single one get away. As for the reason..."

He had originally planned to just pin a random crime on them.

But on second thought, he decided it was better to consult Xiao Chen, so he changed his tune. "The reason hasn’t returned yet. I’ll tell you in a bit."

???

The surrounding disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were dumbfounded. They had never encountered such a bizarre situation in their entire lives.

The Jiang Family was one of the Five Great Clans. Relying on the Tier Three Alchemist in their ranks, they had always acted with impunity and had never been held accountable for their actions.

’How could they have fallen so suddenly?’

But no one dared to ask, nor did they dare question the decision of a Golden Core True Man. They all obediently cooperated with the great manhunt.

After the Jiang Family’s Tier Three Alchemist was captured and brought over, he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

He cried out that he wanted to see Yunxiang Daoist, insisting that there had to be some misunderstanding.

The Fuling Rejuvenation Pill was a Tier Three Healing Treasure Medicine, and it represented the Jiang Family’s greatest value.

He believed that with this as a bargaining chip, no matter what had happened, he could at least ensure the survival of one branch of his clan.

However, when Yunxiang Daoist returned, she drew her Angry Flame Red Flying Sword without the slightest hesitation and sliced him in half on the spot.

Although a Tier Three Alchemist’s status was often considered comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator and far superior to other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, at the end of the day, they were not a true Golden Core True Man.

Besides, there was no way she would risk offending Xiao Chen over this. Even the slightest possibility of displeasing him was out of the question.
