Next, Yu Qingtan and her companion took stock of the items left by Venerable Haokong. The storage ring was filled with Spirit Stones, Spirit Dew, magical weapons, and other cultivation resources, worth about two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones—a testament to his status as the Young Sect Master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect.
His lifebound artifact, the Void Cleaving Blade, was an inferior Dao Artifact with an Artifact Spirit. With the demise of Murong Haokong, the spirit of the Void Cleaving Blade was greatly weakened and easily subdued by Yu Qingtan.
"Submit or be obliterated?" Yu Qingtan coldly asked the figure of a man in black robes floating above the Void Cleaving Blade.
The weakened Artifact Spirit, upon hearing Yu Qingtan’s question, displayed a stubborn glint in its eyes. It had once accompanied Murong Haokong on his adventures and battles in the cultivation world, and now it was being asked to submit to the enemy who killed its master—an idea it could not accept.
"I am the spirit of the Void Cleaving Blade; how can I submit to you!" The voice of the Artifact Spirit was icy and resolute. It would rather choose obliteration than to succumb. Hearing this, a trace of coldness flashed in Yu Qingtan’s eyes. If the spirit chose oblivion, then she would show no mercy.
"Since you’ve made your choice, I can’t be blamed for what happens next. Xiao Wu, it’s up to you!" Yu Qingtan said as her lifebound Artifact Spirit Xiao Wu emerged in sync with the Five Elements Canglan Sword, and then Xiao Wu kicked towards the Artifact Spirit of the Void Cleaving Blade.
The Artifact Spirit let out a pitiful scream as its form began to fade, clearly having been seriously injured. Xiao Wu continued the assault and soon dispersed it. Using an Artifact Spirit against another was most convenient.
"Wow, is that the Xiao Wu you mentioned? It’s so cute!" Shen Wanning, who had been watching from the side with hearts in her eyes, had heard about Xiao Wu from Yu Qingtan before but hadn’t seen it until now.
"Hehe, yes, yes, Xiao Wu is super cute!"
Xiao Wu had already floated back to Yu Qingtan’s side by this time. She had a delicate figure resembling an exquisite porcelain doll, dressed in a blue dress with intricate orchid embroidery on the hem, looking both mysterious and cute.
Xiao Wu’s face always wore a faint smile, seeming to maintain her composure and calm no matter what situation arose.
However, when Shen Wanning’s praise rang out, Xiao Wu’s composed expression instantly dissolved. A blush quickly spread across her cheeks and a shy light flickered in her eyes. Looking somewhat at a loss, she hastily lowered her head, daring not to meet Shen Wanning’s gaze.
"Cough cough, that... Sister Wanning, you... you flatter me too much." Xiao Wu’s voice became somewhat stammered as she struggled to stay composed.
Seeing Xiao Wu’s bashful demeanor, both Yu Qingtan and Shen Wanning couldn’t help but laugh.
"Ah, no way, that’s too adorable!" Shen Wanning couldn’t resist reaching out to pat its head. However, Xiao Wu, as if frightened, quickly dodged her hand.
"Um... Sister Wanning, I... I’ll be going back first." After saying that, Xiao Wu transformed into a blue light and swiftly returned to the Five Elements Canglan Sword, refusing to come out again.
"Alright, Xiao Wu is a bit shy! Let’s continue checking the battle loot," Yu Qingtan said, purifying the lingering soul imprints from the Void Cleaving Blade and replacing them with her own. Even without its Artifact Spirit, the Void Cleaving Blade was still a decent inferior Dao Artifact.
Yu Qingtan then took out the spatial reflective orb mirror, a middle-grade Dao Artifact that now had a crack in it.
"Qing Tan, what is this? It’s so pretty, except for the crack!" Shen Wanning curiously examined the smooth orb mirror.
"This is a middle-grade Dao Artifact!" Yu Qingtan said, also purifying away the remaining soul imprints and leaving her own.
"What! A middle-grade Dao Artifact!" Shen Wanning jumped up, feeling every time she had become numb to Yu Qingtan’s surprises, and every time Yu Qingtan managed to give her a new shock.
"That’s right!" Yu Qingtan proudly lifted her graceful neck, enjoying her friend’s astonished gaze.
"You might as well tell me you’ve become a God Transformation Honorable, and I wouldn’t be surprised!" Three breaths later, Shen Wanning calmed down and teased.
"That will still take some years, hmm? What’s this... the Bai Chen Order! Haha, Wanning, you really are my lucky star!"
Yu Qingtan, in the Dao Artifact space of the spatial reflection globe mirror, found a familiar token, indeed it was her Bai Chen Order. Yu Qingtan joyfully hugged Shen Wanning and twirled her around several times.
Initially, Niu Lanshan, a true lord of the Hundred Beasts Sect from the Southern Region, following the orders of the sect’s Young Sect Master Zhu Yan, set out to take out the person who obtained the Bai Chen Order and seize it back. @@novelbin@@
In the end, Niu Lanshan traced it to Yu Qingtan, but as Yu Qingtan had very strong life-saving abilities, Niu Lanshan realized he couldn’t kill her. So, he kidnapped Xiang Yiyi and other girls, exchanging them for the Bai Chen Order and accomplished the main mission.
Afterward, Yu Qingtan immediately informed Venerable Shenfeng, who went straight to Nanxing Immortal City to intercept Niu Lanshan because there was a Teleportation Formation leading to the Southern Region in Nanxing Immortal City.
However, Venerable Shenfeng, although he successfully intercepted Niu Lanshan, couldn’t prevent his escape when the latter used a Fourth Stage Escape Talisman.
Unbeknownst to Yu Qingtan, the injured Niu Lanshan, after escaping with the talisman, ended up in the territory of the Extreme Path Demon Sect and decided to lie low, planning to hide out and heal his wounds.
After recovering from his injuries, Niu Lanshan prepared to take another Teleportation Formation to the Southern Region from Jinan Immortal City within the Red Dust Demon Sect’s area of influence. However, just a few days after he showed up, he was surrounded and tragically killed by three God Transformation Honorables of the Extreme Path Demon Sect.
Initially, when the eight God Transformation Honorables of the Extreme Path Demon Sect were besieging Demon Venerable Bachahei of the Yunhua Mountain Range, Yu Qingtan took advantage of the chaos, picking up some of Bachahei’s scales, one of which contained a fragment of Bachahei’s soul. Unfortunately, it encountered her ’system dad’, becoming nourishment for Yu Qingtan’s soul.
At the time of Yu Qingtan’s action, as she had been recently attacked by Niu Lanshan using the Reincarnation Mantra to disguise herself as Niu Lanshan, he became a target of interest for the Extreme Path Demon Sect. Niu Lanshan did not realize, and after recovering, brazenly appeared, only to be discovered by a Golden Core real person of the sect, who reported upwards.
Therefore, Niu Lanshan’s tragedy unfolded as Honorable Luomu, Six Desires Venerable, and Wan Xiong Honor personally took action against him. Niu Lanshan perished on the spot, and his Nascent Soul was subjected to a Soul Search.
Knowing the Bai Chen Order was obtained by Niu Lanshan from Yu Qingtan but unaware of its specific use, Honorable Luomu gave it to his disciple, the young sect master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect who had been causing trouble for Yu Qingtan, Murong Haokong.
Niu Lanshan’s fate could be said to be brought about by Yu Qingtan, and she would have been delighted had she known. Sadly, Yu Qingtan was unaware, otherwise, she would have definitely clapped her hands in glee. Nevertheless, now that the Bai Chen Order was back in her hands, Yu Qingtan also guessed that Niu Lanshan may have encountered an accident.
"Qingtan, what is this treasure, you’re so happy?" Shen Wanning, having been put down by Yu Qingtan, asked curiously.
"Hehe, this was a gift from a senior, it’s just that..." Yu Qingtan briefly explained the situation with the Bai Chen Order.
