Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1301: Chapter 697: Interrogation

In the area between the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s resource point and the White Emperor Sect’s temporary base, two Great Cultivators always have their attention fixed.

The sects on both sides are in conflict, and the battle might escalate at any moment.

The two Great Cultivators are also monitoring whether the opposing Great Cultivator interferes with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners’ battles, requiring constant vigilance.

Suddenly Li Yuanba appeared on the ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, instantly enveloping Tan Xian and two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners. Both Great Cultivators saw this but showed no intention of intervening.

Because Li Yuanba displayed a cultivation level also at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, neither the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion nor the White Emperor Sect immediately recognized Li Yuanba’s true identity.

He did not contact the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s resource point and used the mountain peak type magical treasure favored by White Emperor Sect cultivators.

When he used ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, he did not unleash its spirit treasure-level power, only controlling the grade at the pinnacle of the fourth-grade level.

On one hand, he worried that the aura of a spirit treasure would be sensed by the two Great Cultivators. On the other hand, Tan Xian and the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners did not need the full power of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’.

Just as the two Great Cultivators awaited further developments, the three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners under the cover of ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ lost their vitality.

The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator couldn’t sit still firstly, and with a flash, he left the temporary base. The distance of a hundred li was but an instant for him.

The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Cultivator also focused his gaze and followed without hesitation, flying from the resource point.

Regardless of whether Li Yuanba was a cultivator from the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, since he had killed the three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners of the White Emperor Sect, he must intercept the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator’s retaliation.

As both Great Cultivators hurried towards Li Yuanba, he already stowed away Tan Xian’s Nascent Soul in a jade box.

At this point, Tan Xian’s Nascent Soul was long out of control, especially sealed within the jade box, with his consciousness faded, let alone any thought of resistance.

Having done all this, he still had time to tidy up the battlefield, collecting the three Nascent Soul Middle Stage bodies and their spoils.

When the two Great Cultivators were just five li away, he gave a slight smile to the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator, activated ’A Step to Heaven’, and with a flash appeared a thousand li away.

Then he continuously used ’An Inch to a World Apart’, his figure flickering in the vision of the two Great Cultivators, ultimately disappearing.

He left no chance for the White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator, who, upon seeing Li Yuanba teleport a thousand li away, lost interest in pursuit.

However, his heart was filled with helplessness mixed with rage; Tan Xian was a core cultivator highly valued by the White Emperor Sect.

It was said that Tan Xian was one of the seed candidates the sect was preparing to accept ’Breath Earth’ fusion, but losing him here made it hard for him to explain on his return.

”Li Yuanba!” The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator recognized Li Yuanba, as he was the Sword Cultivator recently wanted by the White Emperor Sect.

Li Yuanba’s aura and visage had long been spread throughout the sect and its affiliated forces, intending to make him unable to move freely outside; as soon as he appeared, the White Emperor Sect would know.

”Haha, it is indeed a Sword Cultivator from my Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, acting in the style befitting a Sword Cultivator!” The Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Cultivator also recognized Li Yuanba and laughed.

The White Emperor Sect’s Great Cultivator glared hatefully at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion’s Great Cultivator, but without saying more, he turned and left.

He did not have the courage to escalate the battle between the two superpowers to the Great Cultivator Level, yet he dared not linger, unsure if the opposing Great Cultivator would do the same if he tarried longer.

Sword Cultivators are always seen as madmen, and the conflict between the White Emperor Sect and the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion might well see the Sword Cultivator Great Cultivator eager to escalate the conflict.

Li Yuanba continued to employ ’An Inch to a World Apart’, retreating far beyond ten thousand li, before finding a mountain peak to establish a temporary cave abode.

He took out a Fourth Grade Array Flag to apply a formation to the temporary cave abode and then entered inside.

With a slight mental movement, ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’ appeared, flying above his head.

He cast the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ divine skill upon ’Ten Thousand Sword Peak’, immediately subjecting the entire cave abode to the dual influence of the ’Invisible Primordial Magnetism’ and gravitational field.

Having completed these preparations, he took out the jade box and opened it.

Inside the jade box, Tan Xian’s Nascent Soul had its eyes tightly closed, completely unaware of external happenings.

Li Yuanba’s Divine Sense swept over the Forbidden Spirit Talisman, reducing its power slightly.

Tan Xian’s Nascent Soul blinked dazedly, quickly realizing his situation.

He looked at Li Yuanba with venomous eyes, as though wanting to tear him to pieces.

Yet such a fierce demeanor on a small Nascent Soul made Li Yuanba almost laugh.

”Tan Xian, no need to look at me like that, I have a few questions for you!” Li Yuanba said calmly.

”Don’t even think about it, I will never answer any question!” Tan Xian’s Nascent Soul gritted his teeth in reply.

”That’s not up to you, if you don’t answer, I’ll have to use some methods!” Li Yuanba continued to speak calmly.

If it were during battle, perhaps Tan Xian might have had the chance to self-destruct his Nascent Soul before Li Yuanba sealed it.

But now, with his Nascent Soul in Li Yuanba’s hands, he long lost the opportunity to self-destruct.

One could say this Nascent Soul, although still housing Tan Xian’s soul, was no longer under his control.
