Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1692: Chapter 1692: Why Do They All Like to Escape This Way?

”I... I can also... testify!” Just as Gongsun Zhi’s words fell, a feeble child’s voice interjected.

The red-clad female cultivator saw this child, visibly startled, and quickly asked, ”Qin’er, what’s happened to you?”

No one would have thought that this child was actually the granddaughter of the red-clad female cultivator. Yet now, the child no longer appeared adorable as usual; her face was ghastly pale, and her whole body was covered in burns, even one arm was missing.

”How is this possible? How could she still be alive?” Gongsun Zhi’s heart sank, her face disbelief-stricken.

”No need to be shocked; earlier, in your haste to leave, you carelessly tried to burn Qin’er to death, but I managed to protect her with a hidden technique! It’s just unfortunate that you left too quickly to notice!”

Fan Qingyin interjected, then turned to the red-clad female cultivator, looking apologetic, ”I’m sorry, Master Uncle Ding, I only now discovered where Gongsun Zhi was harming people, and saving Qin’er completely was impossible. I hope Master Uncle Ding can forgive me.”

”What on earth happened?” The red-clad female cultivator looked at the child’s horrifying injuries, her anger surging, roaring.

”Gongsun Zhi not only persecuted the sect master but also practiced an evil cultivation technique from the Evil Sect, extracting the essential blood of gifted children to feed herself, trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Sister Ge Juan’s two children were also killed this way.”

Feng Meiyi explained, ”These years, most of the gifted children at the Phantom Sound Pavilion were killed by Gongsun Zhi using this wicked cultivation technique. This is why no exceptional talents have emerged from the Phantom Sound Pavilion for the last thirty years!”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. These years, the children of the Phantom Sound Pavilion frequently met tragic ends but were considered to be the work of evil sects. None expected it to be the doing of the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s Steward.

”Gongsun Zhi, I want to tear you to shreds!” The red-clad female cultivator couldn’t contain her fury any longer, shouting at Gongsun Zhi.

”It’s not true, not true; these are all fabricated accusations to frame me; none of these are real!” Gongsun Zhi still refused to admit anything.

”Gongsun Zhi, do you still want to argue, even now? Could Qin’er at her young age possibly tell lies?” The Old Woman saw through the deception and trembled with rage.

She couldn’t have imagined that the administrator she personally appointed would be the murderer responsible for her disciple’s demise.

Gongsun Zhi was no less than a malignant tumor for the Phantom Sound Pavilion, ruthlessly targeting the younger generation, causing talent to wither almost completely among them.

”Why did you do it? Was breaking through to Nascent Soul so vital to you that you became so malevolent?” Liu Xianglan demanded with indignation.

Gongsun Zhi looked ashen, realizing today was the day she would surely die.

Knowing there was no chance of survival, she stopped defending herself and laughed manically, ”You’ve easily surpassed Nascent Soul, but do you know the agony of being trapped by it for thirty to forty years?”

”Back then, both you and I were the elites of our generation. Why did the Old Woman favor only you, always siding with you? I vowed secretly then to surpass you and make everyone marvel!”

”But this wretched heaven wouldn’t show me even a glimpse of fortune, trapping me firmly with Nascent Soul. Yet, you thrived and in a few years became the star of the Phantom Sound Pavilion. I hate, hate this unjust heaven!”

”Did you kill me just for this?” Liu Xianglan scoffed coldly.

”If I didn’t get rid of you, how could I possibly have stood out, how could I have led the Phantom Sound Pavilion for so many years? While you lived, you shone too brightly, everyone revolved around you. Only with your death would this Phantom Sound Pavilion belong to me.”

Gongsun Zhi exclaimed bitterly, ”Too bad this miserable heaven still refuses to give me a glance, preventing any breakthrough into Nascent Soul all this time. Otherwise, your Blood Zither Heavenly Maiden’s title would long have been mine!”

”In cultivation, nurturing the heart is paramount. With such greed and distractions in your heart, how could you possibly break through?” The Old Woman snarled with disgust and regret.

She then turned to Liu Xianglan, ”Lan’er, you are the Sect Master of the Phantom Sound Pavilion, what do you propose?”

”Is there even a need to think? Execution by dismemberment is hardly excessive!” Ye Haochuan, who had been silent for a long time, now spoke up, feeling satisfied seeing Gongsun Zhi fully defeated, ”But before that, we need her to reveal Qingshuang’s whereabouts!”

Concerning her disciple’s safety, Liu Xianglan was highly concerned, fixing a demanding gaze on Gongsun Zhi.

”Hahaha~” Gongsun Zhi did not answer, only laughed hysterically, her thoughts a mystery.

It was Feng Meiyi who answered, ”Qingshuang was indeed captured but then suddenly vanished. Gongsun Zhi spent a long time searching for her, unable to find her”

”Vanished?” Ye Haochuan felt both relieved and anxious.

Relieved that Zhu Qingshuang had not been harmed by Gongsun Zhi, anxious, however, about not knowing where Zhu Qingshuang had gone or whether she was safe.

”Ye Haochuan, wait and see, I’ll never let you go!” Gongsun Zhi suddenly shouted amidst hysterical laughter, her body stiffened, falling straight down.

”Oh no, it’s the Ghost Escape Technique of the Xuanming Sect!” The Old Woman exclaimed urgently.

Although her cultivation was profound, she felt helpless when it came to soul cultivation techniques. She hadn’t practiced the Ghost Escape Technique, her soul unable to leave the body. Unless Gongsun Zhi’s soul chose to confront her, she would never locate it.

”Why do all these old folks love using this method to escape?” Ye Haochuan laughed coldly, revealing the Snow Edge Sword.

”Snow Edge, Soul Subdue!”

The Snow Edge Sword appeared, and from the surrounding void came a sudden wail.

”Is this sword... a Soul Device?” Liu Xianglan’s body froze, her words stumbling.

”Sorry, I forgot you’re in a soul state too!” Ye Haochuan laughed, quickly retracting some of the Snow Edge Sword’s aura.

Although Liu Xianglan’s power was formidable, she had nearly perished earlier, and the soul nurtured by Vermilion Bird Peak over these years was still insufficient to restore her to peak state, causing her to be impacted by the Snow Edge Sword.

”What are you running for? Just calmly return and enjoy the moments to come!”

Ye Haochuan did not imprison Gongsun Zhi’s soul in the Snow Edge Sword but forcibly pushed it back into her body. With Ye Haochuan’s current cultivation combat abilities, he could easily crush Gongsun Zhi’s soul.

Of course, he wouldn’t kill Gongsun Zhi easily because that would be too much of a kindness for her!
