Chapter 1458: Resolution
Tan Shaoting also unleashed his full strength.
The Divine Punishment Sword in his hand was particularly effective against cultivators like Jing Ling, who were steeped in filth.
The man and the sword were in perfect harmony. For a moment, Jing Ling really had no recourse.
He thought, how much Spiritual Power could a little Golden Core possibly have? Yet, it persisted for half an hour. Seeing that he hadn’t exhausted his Spiritual Power was remarkable.
This was highly unusual; this Golden Core must have a secret—hiding cultivation? Probably not. Then there must be some treasure on him.
This made Jing Ling’s heart burn with desire; killing him meant the treasure would be his.
His movements quickened. Tan Shaoting continued to persevere.
The two brothers watched from the side. Their Divine Sense was strong. Under the current situation, it was unlikely for their father to win.
However, their father was in no immediate danger. Their movement technique didn’t require Spiritual Power, and was extremely fast, leaving Jing Ling helpless.
The two brothers clutched Thunder Spirit Talismans. Their synchronization was impeccable. Suddenly, they simultaneously threw out Thunder Spirit Talismans, which, being Fourth Rank, didn’t greatly harm a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
However, it did cause Jing Ling some panic.
Their hands were certainly filled with good things. As long as the two brothers found a gap, they would definitely throw talismans.
After several times, Jing Ling paid no heed, as both brothers switched to Mid-grade Fifth Rank talismans.
Due to Jing Ling’s underestimation, he suffered a setback this time.
The talisman injured him, enraging him to attempt to kill the brothers.
Tao Shaoting would never give him such an opportunity and accelerated his attacks.
Soon, they entered a stalemate. Jing Ling had to divert his attention to guard against the brothers. These Thunder Spirit Talismans were quite damaging. Even if he won now, recovery would take a while.
How could Qi Yan not see his condition? Let alone Qi Hong.
Tan Shaoting knew he didn’t have much Spiritual Power left, and maintaining it was impossible. So, he had no choice but to use the sword move of the Divine Punishment Sword, though he only knew this move.
His heart was in tune with the Divine Punishment Sword, seizing the opportunity.
Jing Ling suddenly felt as if he was immobilized, unable to move.
Furthermore, an aura of solemn divinity enveloped him, sapping his will and ability to dodge.
This was the first time Tan Shaoting used this move, and it consumed all his remaining Spiritual Power.
But it was worth it; unexpectedly, he really wielded Jing Ling under his sword.
Qi Yan’s speed was extremely fast. As Jing Ling’s Nascent Soul tried to flee, Thunder Spiritual Power had already crossed over.
Yet this time it wasn’t meant to kill, but to restrain his Nascent Soul directly with Thunder Spiritual Power. If he behaved, there’d be no issue; if he dared to touch even a bit of the Thunder Spiritual Power cloaking him, he would be obliterated.
Qi Hong swiftly approached and tossed his father a Fifth Rank Array Plate.
Tan Shaoting also wanted to recover his Spiritual Power quickly. Judging by regular circumstances, Jing Ling shouldn’t have reinforcements, but just in case.
Su Yuanyuan awakened from meditation, not finding their father and sons within the array, quickly exiting the array and, witnessing the situation outside, retrieved the Sixth Rank Array Plate and wrapped another layer around Tan Shaoting from outside.
"Mother, have you recovered?"
"Yes, I’ve recovered."
She walked over to Jing Ling’s Nascent Soul and looked at the shivering Little Nascent Soul.
Then turned back and asked, "Have your master been heard from yet?"
Both shook their heads.
Night fell, and Su Yuanyuan sat outside waiting for Tan Shaoting to recover, feeling unsettled. It wasn’t a fear of danger, but a kind of heartache.
Gazing upon those bones left, just infants under the age of one.
How many were required to make this Blood Pool? They must have been such little children!
"Qi Yan, how are you managing with the Thunder Spiritual Power? If it doesn’t work, just end it."
"Mother, it doesn’t take much Spiritual Power, don’t worry."
The array noise stirred. Tan Shaoting emerged.
The mother and sons finally felt relieved.
"I want to go in. I want to release those children’s spirits." Su Yuanyuan’s emotions seemed very low.
Of course, the father and two sons had no objections. Inside, Su Yuanyuan sat down and started chanting the Reincarnation Scripture taught by Chen Xue Man.
Their family heard the innocent cries of children around them. The three men had eyes reddened.
Su Yuanyuan sat there, without joy or sorrow, continuously chanting the scripture. Suddenly, Hell opened up.
Two Ghost Messengers emerged, and Qi Yan and Qi Hong looked on curiously.
They really resembled those depicted in the television shows.
Both gave them a respectful bow and organized the little spirits into the Underworld.
Su Yuanyuan’s recitation of the Rebirth Scripture never paused, until all the little spirits had entered the Underworld.
The two Ghost Messengers once more bowed to the four of them, and followed into the gates of the Underworld.
The great doors slowly closed. Only then did Su Yuanyuan cease her chanting.
The father and sons watched as the golden lotus of their mother and wife grew brighter. Moreover, a golden halo hovered above each of their heads.
This was the Heavenly Dao’s blessing upon them. Though unclear of what exactly, it was undoubtedly beneficial.
Qi Yan felt especially strong; the comfort was simply enchanting.
After awhile, the golden glow merged into their bodies.
Su Yuanyuan stood up, "Let’s go out."
Her mood was very somber. Since she was someone who couldn’t resist children.
The family left the array, then re-entered it.
Seeing them return, Jing Ling uttered, "Release me, and I’ll give you all I have."
Qi Yan immediately used the Silence Technique on him.
Tan Shaoting wrapped an arm around Su Yuanyuan’s shoulder, unsure how to comfort her.
Su Yuanyuan rested her head against Tan Shaoting’s chest. "So many children. Some never even saw this beautiful world."
"You’ve sent them into reincarnation. In the next life, they will surely find happiness."
"I hope so."
Tan Shaoting was aware that cultivators had arrived. Once the family saw clearly, they exited the array. It turned out to be cultivators from three sects.
This time, Xuantian Sect sent Tianyan Daojun.
The couple immediately stepped forward to pay respects.
"No need for formalities."
Qi Yan and Qi Hong also paid respects to their sect elders.
"Let’s go, show us inside." Tianyan Daojun instructed.
Su Yuanyuan led the way. The three Divinity Transformation cultivators glanced more intently at Su Yuanyuan’s mirror, quite impressed with this female cultivator’s fortune and luck.
Inside the Blood Pool, the brows of the three Divinity Transformation cultivators furrowed.
After a brief discussion, they sent a message to the Array Sect and waited again outside.
Hunting Strange Daoist Monarch from the Array Sect arrived quickly. This time there was no need for Su Yuanyuan to lead the way; he directly broke open the array.
Once inside, he toured the Blood Pool multiple times. The four Divinity Transformation cultivators communicated through Divine Sense.
