Chapter 192: Magical Soul-Captivating Bracelet (Subscription Request)
Frost poison needle!
This is the name of the silver needle found from Xing Xueqing's sleeve.
The elders of Xiyue Sect present were all knowledgeable and could see it at a glance.
The silver light flashing on the needles is a special kind of poison: frost poison.
If a Jindan strongman is stabbed by this frost poison, it will take several days to eliminate the toxin. If a foundation-building cultivator is poisoned by this poison, even a Yuanying strongman will be powerless to recover.
When everyone present saw the silver needle, they were certain that Xing Xueqing did have murderous intentions towards Tang Ruowei.
If Xing Xueqing didn't want to use this frost poison to target Tang Ruowei, there was no need to put it on her sleeves. She could just put it in the storage bag.
Hiding a poison needle in your sleeve during a fight will only affect your performance.
If Chu Ning had not seen the clue and thought of Xing Xueqing releasing the silver needle during the competition, even if they had paid attention with their spiritual sense the whole time, they would not have been able to stop it in time.
Thinking of this, many elders looked at Xing Xueqing with disgust.
Harming fellow disciples is a serious crime in Xiyue Sect.
"If you still recognize me as your master, then tell me who is behind this."
Fei Yuelan looked at Xing Xueqing with endless disappointment. She had given Xueqing twenty years of time, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
"No one told me to do it, I just did it on my own."
After hearing what Xing Xueqing said, Chu Ning slapped her in the face again without hesitation.
"Chun Ning, don't do anything stupid!"
Duan Yurong frowned and scolded. She knew that her senior sister had a deep master-disciple relationship with Xue Qing. Chu Ning did this in front of her, and her senior sister must feel uncomfortable.
"Junior sister, there is no need to persuade me. If a disciple like this appeared, it is because I, Senior sister, failed to teach him properly."
Fei Yuelan sighed softly, and when she looked at Xing Xueqing again, there was no emotion in her eyes, only indifference.
"Since you want to know the truth, I will tell you the truth."
To Fei Yuelan, calling himself the sect leader meant severing the relationship between master and disciple.
Xing Xueqing's body trembled again, and she lowered her head without saying anything.
"When you were together with Su Yu, this sect master would have opposed it. In addition to Su Yu's poor talent for cultivation, the more important reason was that this person had poor moral character."
"Poor moral character?" Xing Xueqing raised her head: "Why do you say that?"
"He used his status as the direct disciple of your Xiyue Sect's Sect Master to make the other three families in Baihong City submit to the Su family."
"I know about this. Su Yu told me that at that time, the other three families joined forces to deal with their Su family, and he had no way to deal with it." Xing Xueqing argued.
Chu Ning laughed as he listened, and sneered, "It feels like you're relying on the sect to help your lover's family out of trouble. You're really eating from the pot while trying to destroy it."
"What qualifications do you have to laugh at me? If Tang Ruowei hadn't gone to Baicheng, you would be standing here right now because you would have been hunted down by someone!"
Obviously, Xing Xueqing knew about Chu Ning's affairs in Baicheng.
"Senior Sister Xing, Chu Ning is different from your Su Yu. Chu Ning has never revealed his relationship with me, even when he was being hunted. He didn't even reveal the danger he was facing in the letters he wrote to me before. It was me who learned about the situation and took the initiative to go to Baicheng."
Tang Ruowei explained from the side.
Xing Xueqing was speechless, but then she immediately argued: "What's the difference? It's just that Chu Ning doesn't care about asking those fellow disciples in Jinzong, while Su Yu cares about his family. Su Yu is not as selfish as Chu Ning."
After listening to Xing Xueqing's answer, Chu Ning gave Xing Xueqing a thumbs up.
This is what is called love brain on the Internet.
Fei Yuelan continued: "You and Su Yu have visited dozens of cities together. Do you know what his intention is?"
"Su Yu said that every city has its own customs and folkways. What we are visiting are ordinary and secular things."
Xing Xueqing showed a happy smile on her face. That period of time was the happiest for her. She and Su Yu just wandered around those secular cities, enjoying the love of ordinary people.
"That's just what you think. Two foundation-building monks appear among ordinary people. Do you really think the forces behind those cities won't investigate?"
Fei Yuelan sneered: "Every time you visit a city, the Su family will open a shop in the city market, and the controlling forces behind these markets will facilitate the Su family shops."
"This... this is the Su family's behavior. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Su Yu said that he has no interest in power. After saving the Su family, he no longer cares about the Su family's affairs."
Xing Xueqing defended herself, but her voice became weaker and weaker because she also knew that this explanation could not hold water.
"If Su Yu hadn't saved your life, I would have destroyed the Su family based on these two points alone. In the end, I just separated the two of you and asked the Su family to move out of the Xiyue Sect's territory. This is already merciful enough."
Fei Yuelan looked at Xing Xueqing: "This sect master told you this not to convince you to reveal the mastermind. Even if you don't say it, my uncle master has a way to search your soul and find out the master from your mind."
Soul search!
These two words made Xing Xueqing's face turn pale.
She knew very well the price of having her soul searched: it would make her a fool.
"master……"
"Don't call me Master, I'm not your Master, I'm the leader of Xiyue Sect, and you're just a traitor who wants to harm your fellow disciples!"
Fei Yuelan interrupted Xing Xueqing's words in a harsh voice. Chu Ning had a sarcastic look on his face. People like Xing Xueqing were extremely selfish.
Now I am scared and know to call master.
There is nothing wrong with human selfishness, and Chu Ning admits that he is also a selfish person.
But he knows one thing, he will not ask others to be nice to him for no reason.
Take him and Tang Ruowei for example. If he didn't have the help of the immortal fruit, his fate with Tang Ruowei would have ended after school.
Does this mean that Tang Ruowei's feelings for me are not pure?
"I say!"
Xing Xueqing smiled sadly, she didn't want to become a foolish person.
"The mastermind behind this is...Pfft..."
Xing Xueqing was halfway through her words when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. She quickly aged and her vitality was rapidly draining away.
Fei Yuelan's expression changed instantly. She reached out and grabbed Xing Xueqing's arm. At the same time, a pill appeared in her right hand and she poured it into Xing Xueqing's mouth.
But even so, it did not stop Xing Xueqing from aging. After a few breaths, her entire body seemed to have been drained of blood and flesh, turning into a skeleton of human skin.
Only those eyes remained bright, revealing a look of regret.
"Someone has placed a restriction on her. This restriction is definitely not something that an ordinary array master can do. It seems that the person behind this plot is quite powerful."
The Nascent Soul expert from Xiyue Sect showed up, and all the elders present immediately bowed respectfully, including Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei.
"Master uncle."
Fei Yuelan just held onto Xing Xueqing's skinny arm, with grief in her eyes. No matter how heartless her previous words were, the relationship between master and disciple that lasted for nearly a hundred years could not be severed in an instant.
The reason why he told Xing Xueqing the truth and revealed Su Yu's true face was that he didn't want his uncle-master to intervene and turn Xueqing into an idiot.
"Xing Xueqing committed such a crime, and you, as her master, should be punished, but this is a critical moment for our Xiyue Sect, so your punishment will be postponed."
After the Xiyue Sect Yuanying strongman finished speaking, his eyes fell on Chu Ning: "You did very well. The Xuantian Sect attacked first, and many sects testified. The Xuantian Sect could only endure it and would not come to you. But if you leave the Xiyue Sect, the Xuantian Sect will definitely secretly ambush you. Don't leave the sect if there is no need."
"Hehe, Grandmaster Uncle, don't worry, I will never leave the Xiyue Sect's mountain gate."
Chu Ning chuckled, and said the second half of the sentence in his heart: "Even if I want to go out, I will go out as Yao Xin."
"I'm afraid that if you don't go out, Xuantian Sect will find a way to get you out."
The old man said something meaningful, and the other elders at the scene were secretly amazed as they listened to the conversation between the old man and Chu Ning.
The uncle-master seemed to attach great importance to Chu Ning and even showed up to give Chu Ning instructions.
Even for them, it is difficult to see their uncle-master on weekdays.
Especially after the great-grandmaster finished talking to Chu Ning, his figure disappeared again, which further proved their guess that the great-grandmaster showed up specifically for Chu Ning.
It seems that they want to raise Chu Ning's status and position further, and make him more than just the son-in-law of Xiyue Sect.
"Senior sisters and junior sisters, let's go to the main hall to discuss this."
Seeing Fei Yuelan's look, Chu Ning hurriedly said, "Sect Master, I won't go. Ruo Wei must have some trauma after what she experienced. I will counsel Ruo Wei."
Tang Ruowei: ...
"As for the person behind Xing Xueqing, I think we can investigate Su Yu's current whereabouts, and maybe we can find some clues."
Chu Ning gave some advice: Xing Xueqing is a love-brained person, and her murderous intention towards Tang Xiaoniu is definitely not just out of jealousy.
Xing Xueqing must be aware of the consequences of killing Tang Xiaoniu, but she is still willing to do it. It is very likely that she is in love again.
The problem might be with Su Yu.
"Um."
Fei Yuelan nodded, understanding the meaning of Chu Ning's words. After Fei Yuelan and the elders left, Tang Ruowei could not help it.
"Chu Ning, I don't have any shadows in my heart. I don't need your guidance."
"No? Let me feel it."
"Pfft, where are you feeling with your hands?"

…
…
Xuantian Sect! "I didn't expect Chu Ning to be a Jindan strongman. He is quite well hidden."
"Father, Chu Ning must be eliminated. If not, he will become a major threat to our Xuantian Sect in the future."
In a palace of Xuantian Sect, Yue Yaotian looked at a middle-aged man and said seriously.
"Is it because I think too highly of Chu Ning?"
"Father, our Xuantian Sect has lost two elders recently. Elder Wang went to Chu Ning's hometown and disappeared inexplicably, and Elder Zhou died directly at the hands of Chu Ning. If Chu Ning can kill Elder Zhou, he can also kill Elder Wang."
Yue Yaotian knew that his father did not take Chu Ning seriously, but he had a hunch that if Chu Ning was not eliminated, the Xuantian Sect would be in trouble in the future.
"You are right, but Chu Ning has been staying in Xiyue Sect. We can't really start a war between the two sects. Don't forget that we have more important things to do now."
Yue Zhentao pointed out to his son that no matter how threatening Chu Ning was, it would take at least a hundred years for him to grow up. What they had to do now was related to whether Xuantian Sect could unify the four continents.
"Elder Zhou gave Chu Ning the opportunity to kill him. We in Xuantian Sect cannot ask Xiyue Sect to hand over Chu Ning in the name of revenge for Elder Zhou, but we can force Chu Ning to come out."
Yue Yaotian smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, the seal of Shanyang City is about to be lifted. If Xie Shouping falls into our hands, will Chu Ning, as a disciple, come to save the master?"
"I'm afraid it won't work to enter the Hundred Cities area to arrest Xie Shouping. Xie Shouping is a mid-stage Jindan cultivator and a third-grade alchemist. You should know the peculiarities of the Hundred Cities area."
Yue Zhentao shook his head. If Xuantian Sect arranged for a late Jindan elder to enter Baicheng, the entire Baicheng would unite to fight against Xuantian Sect.
"Father, there is no need to go through so much trouble. The sealing formation of Shanyang City was given to the Zheng family by us. Although those Jindan masters cannot get out, we can arrange for someone to go in and deliver the message. When I asked Jinshan about the end of the opportunity, I arranged for Su Yu to contact someone. This person will become our chess piece."
"Who is it?" Yue Zhentao asked curiously.
Yue Zhentao was very satisfied with his son, who was truly resourceful. Although he was openly handling many matters of the Xuantian Sect, the actual operations were carried out by his son.
"Xu Ruobing, the daughter of the Xu family in Juling City."
Yue Yaotian raised his lips and said, "Just like when Su Yu and Xing Xueqing met, I created an opportunity for Su Yu and Xu Ruobing to be a hero and save a beautiful girl. With Su Yu's methods, it shouldn't be difficult to win Xu Ruobing's heart."
"This Su Yu caused my Xuantian Sect to lose a Jindan strongman that was secretly trained, and he was unable to break into the Xiyue Sect. If you hadn't protected him, your father would have killed him long ago."
"Father, Su Yu was indeed selfish back then. I have already severely taught him a lesson. This time Xing Xueqing was going to attack Tang Ruowei, which was Su Yu's masterpiece. Su Yu is quite good at seducing women."
Yue Yaotian defended Su Yu. In order to arrange for Su Yu and Xing Xueqing to meet, he mobilized a Jindan elder of the sect who had never appeared in public to hunt down Xing Xueqing, creating a chance for Su Yu to save the beauty.
Afterwards, the Xiyue Sect launched a manhunt and the Jindan elder was killed by Fei Yuelan herself.
Later, Su Yu was expelled from the Xiyue Sect. His father was furious when he heard the news. If he had not stopped it, Su Yu and the Su family would have been gone long ago.
Yue Zhentao pondered for a while and said, "You want Su Yu to persuade Xu Ruobing to enter Shanyang City and let the Xu family take action against Xie Shouping."
"It's not just the Xu family, there are the other two as well. We can even ask those people in Jin Sect and maybe they can convince us. The Hundred Cities Sect is the most unreliable."
"Since you already have a plan, then do it, but be careful not to underestimate the intelligence of the Jindan cultivator."
Yue Zhentao knew that his son's favorite thing was strategy, and that it had even gone to extremes, but from what he could see so far, his son still had a very subtle grasp of people's hearts.
"Don't worry, father. I won't underestimate anyone. Otherwise, I wouldn't be obsessed with Chu Ning."
Watching his father leave, Yue Yaotian showed a wise smile on his face, "Chu Ning, you would never have thought that I had set up a trap for you as early as the time when Wen Jinshan was destroyed."
…
…
Xiyue Sect, Hongri Peak.
Chu Ning stayed in his cave.
After the competition, the disciples of Xiyue Sect did not come to disturb him, because on the same day, the elders of Xiyue Sect informed all the disciples of the competition.
Xing Xueqing attempted to murder her fellow disciples, and the evidence was irrefutable, so she was executed according to the sect's rules.
Xiyue Sect concealed the truth that Xing Xueqing was killed by a restriction in order to intimidate other disciples.
This announcement resolved the dissatisfaction of the Xiyue Sect's disciples towards Chu Ning's interference in the competition. What's more, Chu Ning was able to kill Zhou Tong, so no matter how stubborn these foundation-building disciples were, it was impossible for them to cause trouble for Chu Ning.
Chu Ning was looking at a bracelet on his hand at this moment.
This bracelet was given to him by the Nascent Soul expert from Xiyue Sect a month ago.
It took him a month to successfully refine the bracelet.
A bracelet of magic weapon level.
According to the promise made by this Nascent Soul expert from Xiyue Sect, he would give himself a magic weapon. A month ago, this Nascent Soul expert finally fulfilled his promise.
This bracelet is called the Soul-Capture Bracelet.
It can affect the spirit and soul, and can also collect the spirit into the soul.
The more souls there are, the more powerful the soul-catching bracelet will be.
"What a pity! If I had obtained this bracelet before killing Wang Sen and Zhou Tong, the power of this bracelet would have increased several times. Wait... I don't know if the soul bead will be effective."
Chu Ning's mind moved, and one of the many soul beads hanging on the green mountain in his dantian fell into the palm of his hand.
This soul bead was formed from the obsession of a foundation-building cultivator during his lifetime.
He was not sure whether obsession would also work on the soul-stealing bracelet.
Chu Ning placed the soul bead in front of the soul-catching bracelet. The soul bead sparkled and became smaller little by little. After a quarter of an hour, it was completely absorbed by the soul-catching bracelet.
efficient!
Chu Ning was delighted because he had refined the Soul-Catching Bracelet. He could sense any changes in the Soul-Catching Bracelet.
"go!"
With a light shout, the soul-catching bracelet shone brightly and floated above the cave, and an extremely harsh sound was heard.
The sound was like the sound made by pushing open an old wooden door that had not been opened for decades.
Creepy and heart-wrenching.
Any cultivator below the Golden Core stage will become dazed when hearing this sound, and its power is no weaker than that of the Soul-Destroying Spear.
Moreover, the Soul-Capture Bracelet is a magic weapon. It will attack autonomously without his control. All he has to do is throw it out.
"This sound is a little stronger than before. It seems that the soul bead is still effective. Then use the soul bead to feed this soul bracelet."
Chu Ning had a plan. After he successfully formed the elixir, he could no longer absorb the soul bead, so it would just sit there empty in his dantian.
The next moment, dozens of soul beads appeared in front of Chu Ning, and several of them were the obsessions of powerful Jindan masters.
The speed at which the Soul-Capture Bracelet absorbed the soul beads was not very fast. Chu Ning let the Soul-Capture Bracelet slowly absorb the soul beads, and a second puppet appeared in his hand.
Wang Sen had two puppets, and he only refined one at the beginning. Now it is time to refine the second one.
