The person who said that in Chapter 411 is already dead.
Xie Xing was still holding Yu Qiang's communication talisman in his hand.
If he wants to enter the Lingyun Sect, his performance in the academy competition is still a bit lacking. He either has to wait until graduation to achieve results or he has to work his way up to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Neither of these options is the best outcome for him.
Xie Xing got to know Yu Qiang, who also came from a family, through his family connections. With Yu Qiang as his introducer and referral, he was able to enter Lingyun Sect immediately after graduation.
Lingyun Sect is a major sect. As long as he focuses on cultivation, he may be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage in a few decades.
Xie Xing has a fairly clear plan for himself.
Xie Xing knew from a young age that he had a handsome appearance. Relying on his good looks, he lingered among the noble ladies of large families. Not long ago, he was listed on the list of successful candidates for the Shangguan Ningxue. He thought he could get help from her, but he didn't expect that the Shangguan family would guard against him like a thief. If it came to matters of interest, no one except Shangguan Ningxue would stand on his side. Not to mention, as he joined the student council of the academy, his status rose. Xie Xing unexpectedly met a disciple of the Lingyun Sect and learned from him that Qingqian Zhenren of Lingyun Qianfeng had taken Hua Lanzheng, the former saintess of the church, as her closed-door disciple.
Hua Lanzheng was the same age as him and was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. There were only three such cultivators in the entire empire.
If he could get close to Hua Lanzheng and cultivate with her, his cultivation would naturally improve rapidly.
Xie Xing held the teleportation talisman, his face beaming with uncontainable joy at the thought of connecting with Hua Lanzheng through Yu Qiang's connections.
He looked up, and his muscles, which had been trembling with joy, suddenly stiffened.
Xie Xing looked at the blood-red land and could easily see the traces of a battle that had taken place there.
The ground was covered in blood and lay dozens of dead cultivators, all wearing the robes of the Lingyun Sect.
The clothes that he had always envied suddenly sent a chill down his spine.
Not quite right.
Of all the cultivators present, as far as he knew, Lingyun Sect did not have any spiritual cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, the cultivators who had died before him must have been at least at the early Nascent Soul stage.
At the same time, he died a gruesome death. Xie Xing recalled Yu Qiang's last telepathic message. It wasn't that he had found a treasure to summon him. In the weak voice, he wondered if the other party had met with misfortune.
Xie Xing didn't believe that Yu Qiang's cultivation level would lead him into a desperate situation, so he decided to come alone to offer timely help.
But now...
Xie Xing felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had sensed something.
In the brief moment he turned his head, a female figure gradually became clearer from a blurry image.
In Yu Guangzhong's painting, a monk with blood seeping from his shoulder and a weakened human, along with the skeletal skeletons they summoned and the corpses scattered on the ground, all appear extremely eerie...
"Sa!"
A sharp blade pierces the air—
Jiang He slashed at Xie Xing with her sword.
Jiang He's movements were swift and decisive, leaving no time for anyone to think.
Xie Xing watched helplessly as a knife slashed at him. If it weren't for the protective talisman on his body that saved him, he would have been bleeding profusely on the ground by now.
Xie Xing broke out in a cold sweat, and it took him a long time to realize that this person wanted to end him.
Xie Xing and Jiang He distanced themselves from each other.
He gazed at the female cultivator who had suddenly appeared from afar:
"I have no grudge against you, why did you kill me!"
"The last person to say that is already dead."
Without uttering a single wasted word, Jiang He grabbed any weapon from the ground and stabbed Xie Xing.
Just when I was worried about not being able to find the person, they showed up unexpectedly.
Xie Xing had once intended to kill her, so she must not be allowed to live. In order to prevent Xie Xing from growing stronger and turning against her in the future, it would be better to strike first.
A long night can lead to many dreams, so it's better to end the dream altogether.
Xie Xing was filled with regret after realizing he had mistakenly entered the scene. The scene he saw was exactly the one where the list of names had been used to brutally kill Yu Qiang and the others.
Even though Yu Qiang's cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, he still couldn't defeat the cultivator in front of him. In fact, it could be said that the attempts of other Lingyun Sect cultivators to unite had all failed.
Xie Xing knew he couldn't handle such a master.
This questioning was an attempt to buy him time to escape, but he never expected Jiang He to bring down a large knife.
Pei Ci leaned against the tree, quietly watching Jiang He make her move.
This person was completely unfamiliar; Pei Ci had no recollection of him whatsoever.
Jiang He pressed down with his knife, and several red lines intersected to form a large net, trapping Xie Xing.
Behind him, ten skeletons swung their swords forward.
At this moment, Xie Xing, who was at the center of the red line, panicked completely.
It can summon undead skeletons, undoubtedly possessing a dark spiritual root.
The cultivator who killed him was of similar cultivation level to himself.
Xie Xing understood that, at the same cultivation level, cultivators with mutated spiritual roots would always be superior to him:
"Don't kill me! I have spirit stones! I'll give you as many spirit stones as you want!"
Xie Xing looked at Jiang He with humiliation, his face showing weakness, but his heart was already filled with resentment.
Not only could they not find Yu Qiang using teleportation talismans, but now they've even deduced that Yu Qiang was killed.
Suddenly realizing he was a serial killer, Xie Xing felt incredibly unlucky. He stiffened his neck and carefully revealed one side of his face, which he considered quite sculpted.
Few female cultivators could resist his appearance.
Pei Ci slumped his head, looked at Xie Xing, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Without Pei Ci lifting a finger, Jiang He's knife slid straight down Xie Xing's shoulder.
A scream echoed through the forest. Xie Xing's face was pale as he stared at his severed arm, his eyes filled with extreme fear.
His arm is gone...
Xie Xing took out a communication talisman, intending to contact Shangguan Ningxue, but the talisman turned into powder the next second.
Xie Xing's other arm was separated from his body.
The cut was clean, but the fiery aura at the severed arm caused Xie Xing excruciating pain.
He knelt on the ground, writhing in agony, both arms wracked with pain.
Just now, Jiang He's knife grazed Xie Xing's heart.
A little faster and she could have killed him outright.
Pity--
Jiang He's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Besides her moving, the ten skeletons were also moving.
Like Yue Cheng, Xie Xing had donned several layers of defensive armor. Jiang He could only injure Xie Xing's vital points by breaking through these layers one by one.
With each strike, Jiang He used ninety percent of her strength.
Only after the last layer of her robe shattered did Jiang He plunge the knife into Xie Xing's heart.
The knife tip twisted, and Xie Xing stared wide-eyed.
His heart clenched, his face contorted, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
With one slash after another, until the heart was completely shattered, Jiang He raised her hand and let the skeleton rush forward.
The communication talisman took effect, and Shangguan Ningxue, who had received Xie Xing's distress call, arrived late. Seeing Xie Xing surrounded by a pile of skeletons, she hurriedly flew over.
"Thank you!"
Who on earth could be so brutal?!
Shangguan Ningxue parted the skeleton, and her eyes widened in horror...
