Chapter 111: Farewell Song.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“This is?!!!”
The veiled woman was horrified and hurried back. In her eyes, this Sword Intent surpassed everything, even the Moon God that they worship paled in comparison.
[Weng~!]
Suddenly, an aura rose from the veiled woman and she consumed a large amount of her Life Essence, she was trying to release a life-saving Witchcraft.
However, all of this was useless.
The Sword Intent continued to slash down.
When the Sword Intent came into contact with her body, it split into billions of miniature swords and cut every piece of her into nothingness.
The white-haired old woman, who was watching on the side, felt her scalp tingle. Watching the Saintess ‘disappear’ into thin air almost made her fall to the ground.
Finally, when the body of the veiled woman completely turned into nothingness, a dark gold insect appeared.
[Screeech~]
The insect made a sharp screeching sound before the miniature swords also cut it into nothingness.
“Is that… the Saintess’s Life Essence Poisonous Insect?”
The white-haired old woman trembled all over, fear surged into her mind and filled her heart.
Everyone in the Holy Moon Church has a Life Essence Poisonous Insect that has been passed down from generation to generation. This is where the Nanzhao Witchcraft started.
The Life Essence Poisonous Insect of the veiled woman has been inherited for thousands of years and it is one of the oldest Poisonous Insects of the Holy Moon Church.
In the last few years, although the Holy Moon Church has repeatedly encountered disasters; even destroyed and rebuilt several times, this Poisonous Insect still survived.
But now, the white-haired old woman saw the dark gold insect disappear with her own eyes, along with the veiled woman.
[Puff~]
At this moment, the white-haired old woman couldn’t take it anymore and she knelt on the ground. Her face was ashen, she closed her eyes and waited for death.
The white-haired old woman had no hope of even surviving. If even the Poisonous Insect, which lasted forever, died, how could she?
However, the miniature swords didn’t move towards the white-haired old woman at all. Instead, it quickly dissipated until only one was left. It then branded itself into the white-haired old woman’s body.
After a while, the white-haired old woman slowly opened her eyes.
“I… I am not dead?”
The white-haired old woman couldn’t believe it.
She clearly saw the swords chased after the fleeing Poisonous Insect. It stands to reason that she should be the one who will die next, but…
“I survived.”
“I survived!”
The white-haired old woman was overjoyed. Although she didn’t understand why she survived, she, in the end, survived.
“Let’s leave and return to the Church.”
“I must let the Sect Master know what happened here.”
The white-haired old woman then immediately turned around and fled. She wanted to rush back to Nanzhao as quickly as possible. Chang’an City was too dangerous. Only the Holy Moon Church can give her a little bit of safety.
…
“Run.”
“Run, now!”
Within the Su Residence, Su Qin’s eyes looked deep, as if he could see the white-haired old woman running away.
Since the Holy Moon Church dared to do something to the Su Family, they must prepare to face the anger of an Arhat.
The reason why Su Qin didn’t kill the white-haired old woman immediately, was because he wanted to use the white-haired old woman to “lead the way” and locate the Holy Moon Church in Nanzhao.
The Nanzhao Kingdom is located in the Southwest. Although it was not as vast as the Tang Empire, it would still take Su Qin at least half a month to find a single place in such a large area — scanning the entire Nanzhao Kingdom with Divine Sense.
And what does half a month mean?
It means 15 Sign In opportunities.
It represents the infinite possibility of becoming stronger. Su Qin was certainly not willing to give up Sign In opportunities.
Because of this, Su Qin branded a sword intent into the white-haired old woman. So even if the white-haired old woman ran to the ends of the world, Su Qin will know where she was.
Only when the white-haired old woman returns to the main base of the Holy Moon Church, will Su Qin take action. He’ll use his time efficiently in the meantime.
While Su Qin was in thought, everyone in the Su Family also walked out of the mansion.
“Brother, what are you doing out here?”
Su Yueyun curiously asked.
She just heard that there was a problem with the jade pendant and then Su Qin walked out, leaving her confused.
“Yes, Little Qin, you just said that there is a problem with the jade pendant, what is the problem?” Su Chenghao also asked.
“There’s no problem now.”
“It’s been taken care of.”
Su Qin looked at the Su Family and shook his head. He returned the jade pendant to Su Chenghao.
At this moment, the Witchcraft in the jade pendant disappeared.
The current jade pendant was just a pure jade pendant.
“Ah, you took care of it?”
Su Chenghao and Su Yueyun glanced at each other, looking dumbfounded.
They didn’t doubt what Su Qin said, but wasn’t it solved too fast?
“Forget it.”
“Let’s just sell the jade pendant…”
Su Chenghao took the jade pendant and looked at it repeatedly, but lost his interest in it.
After they chatted for a while, Su Qin and Su Yueyun returned to the palace.
At the entrance of the East Palace, Su Qin separated from Su Yueyun because he wanted to walk in the vicinity.
“This Witchcraft has some meaning…”
Su Qin walked slowly in the Imperial Palace while his thoughts flowed.
Even though it was just a jade pendant, Su Qin immediately understood what kind of existence is ‘Witchcraft’.
Compared with Martial Arts Cultivation that aims to strengthen one’s self, ‘Witchcraft’ was more inclined to rely on outside things and objects.
The foundation of every Witchcraft Cultivator is not oneself, but the Life Essence Poisonous Insect within their body.
Once the Life Source Poisonous Insect is lost, the Witchcraft Cultivator will become an ordinary person, even inferior to an ordinary person.
“Alas, it is restrained by Life Essence, so Witchcraft is not destined to flourish.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly and no longer thought about it.
For an ordinary person, Witchcraft is weird and unpredictable. It can kill people silently. But in the eyes of a Martial Artist that’s surging with Life Essence, Witchcraft is nothing but a little tickle. Even when dealing with a Martial Artist in the Lower Realm like Su Chenghao, the Saintess needed to consume 10% of her Life Essence. This just shows that Martial Artists restrains Witchcraft.
Unconsciously, Su Qin walked to some place.
“Music Square?”
Su Qin raised his head and took a look.
The Music Square is the place where the musicians and luthiers live in the Imperial Palace. They play music for the Imperial Family.
“How about Signing In here?”
Su Qin suddenly thought.
No matter in which Empire, music occupies a certain position, and its historical inheritance is extremely long.
“System, Sign In.”
Su Qin thought about it for a while, and said silently in his heart.
[Congratulations!]
[Signed In successfully!]
[Obtained “Farewell Song”!]
