Chapter 537 The Fear of the Wu Father and Daughter
The news spread like wildfire, reaching all five regions of the Tianyuan Continent in just three days.
Western Regions, Hunyuan School.
"Have you heard? The Central Region's Myriad Treasures Pavilion was also robbed by the Star Palace!"
"It wasn't just robbed; even the Blood Coffin Ancestor himself couldn't catch them!"
"My God, that's the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"
"It is said that the leader is called Shen Rugo, a disciple who is about ten years old, and is not their sect leader, Xingchen Daoist."
"The Star Palace is hiding itself too well. We're both in the Northwest Region, how come we've never heard of it!"
……
Northern Region, Ice Soul Sect.
"Star Palace? Never heard of it."
"I heard that in the Northwest Region, it used to be a small sect, but it has recently risen to prominence."
"To be able to escape from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, can this still be called a small sect?"
"I must see what they've got during the sect competition."
Eastern Region, Fiery Gate.
"They robbed Wanbaoge and dared to swagger away, how satisfying!"
"It's a pity it wasn't done by my Blazing Fire Sect, otherwise we could brag about it for a lifetime."
"The sect leader said to be polite to people from the Star Palace, so as not to cause trouble."
Southern Region, Qingmu Sect.
"This Star Palace is about to soar to new heights."
"After this incident, who in the world doesn't know about the Star Palace?"
"There will probably be a good show during the sect competition."
The Tianyuan Continent was in an uproar.
Teahouses, restaurants, markets, sects...
Everyone was talking about the Star Palace and Shen Rugo. Some were shocked, some were doubtful, some were envious, and some were jealous.
The most terrified of all was Wu Yuanshan.
Inside a hidden cave at the border between the Central Region and the Western Region.
Wu Yuanshan's face was as pale as paper.
"No, it's impossible..."
He held a communication jade talisman in his hand, the messages flashing on it like venomous snakes, gnawing at his mind.
"Shen Rugo led her men to seize eight branches of the Central Region's Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and even escaped from the clutches of the Blood Coffin Ancestor..."
As the former head of the Qingyuan Sect, Wu Yuanshan naturally knew the details of Wanbaoge and was also aware of the origins of the Blood Coffin Ancestor.
However, Shen Rugo, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, had grown to such a level in just one or two years. How could he not be afraid?
He thought of his daughter, Wu Xuemei.
Even if Wu Xuemei received the full support of Lingxiao Pavilion, she could only break through to the peak of the Golden Core stage at most, or barely step into the Nascent Soul stage. She would never have the combat power of a Deity Transformation level.
But now, Shen Rugo has managed to escape from the hands of a peak Nascent Soul ancestor. How could Wu Xuemei possibly be her match in the sect competition?
"She's only twelve years old..."
Wu Yuanshan slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair. "At this rate, in another ten years, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator might not be a match for her..."
He trembled as he took out a blood-red jade talisman, a communication talisman used exclusively between him and Wu Xuemei.
The jade talisman glowed with a blood-red light, and the message traveled to the distant Lingxiao Pavilion.
Meanwhile, in the secret realm of Lingxiao Pavilion, thousands of miles away, a breakthrough had just ended.
Wu Xuemei sat cross-legged, surrounded by black mist. Her originally beautiful and alluring face now had a strange and sinister look.
A shriveled corpse lay before her; it was a disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion.
"call……"
Wu Xuemei slowly opened her eyes, a flash of blood-red light passing through them.
"Success..."
She looked down at her hands, feeling the surging demonic energy within her, and a look of wild joy appeared on her face. "Mid-stage Nascent Soul! I've finally broken through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul!"
A maniacal and triumphant laugh echoed through the cave, startling the surrounding demonic energy into a surge.
"Shen Rugo, you're probably still struggling in the Golden Core stage, while I'm already a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Wu Xuemei stood up, her black dress fluttering even without wind. "During the sect competition, I will humiliate you and tear you to pieces in front of the whole world!"
Before she finished speaking, a dense black aura suddenly surged from her body, condensing in mid-air into a pale, skeletal hand.
Hehehe...
不错，不错。”
The skeletal hand let out a piercing laugh, "In just two months, you've broken through from the early to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Your cultivation speed is much faster than I expected."
Wu Xuemei bowed respectfully to the skeletal hand, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior, and for teaching me the authentic Devouring Heaven Demon Art. Only then could I have achieved what I have today."
"That's because you have good aptitude and it just so happens that this sect has many top-notch genius disciples to devour. It has nothing to do with me."
The skeletal hand waved, "Besides, we cultivators are meant to fight against fate. What benevolence and morality are nothing but self-deception and hypocrisy. Only power is the eternal truth."
"I will always remember the teachings of my seniors."
With the help of a senior, this junior will surely be able to slay Shen Rugo in the sect competition and avenge this humiliation!
Wu Xuemei's eyes were filled with fervor.
The skeletal hand suddenly fell silent for a moment, its tone becoming more solemn: "Speaking of Shen Rugo, I always felt that this woman was not simple. But no matter what, now that you have broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, with my power supporting you at crucial moments, you are capable of fighting against a late-stage Deity Transformation cultivator. I believe that in this sect competition, you will definitely be able to kill her!"
"Senior is right. I am absolutely confident that I can kill Shen Rugo. Then I will devour her bloodline and be able to advance further, breaking through to the late stage or even the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!"
"At that time, no one in the entire cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent will be a match for you, senior, and the entire cultivation world will be at our disposal!"
"Once I cultivate to the Nascent Soul or even the Void Refinement realm, I can, as the senior said, directly break through the void and enter a higher level of the cultivation world..."
"Hahaha! The path to heaven begins with the slaying of Shen Rugo!"
Wu Xuemei became more and more smug as she spoke. Thinking about how she was about to trample Shen Rugo under her feet and humiliate her in every way, and then slowly devour her blood and flesh, watching her die in agony in front of her, she couldn't help but throw her head back and laugh loudly!
Before the laughter subsided, a blood-red jade talisman on his body emitted a piercing sound.
"Father?"
Wu Xuemei probed into it with her divine sense.
The next moment, the smile on her face froze, replaced by utter horror.
"No, impossible! How could that little bitch have escaped from the Blood Coffin Ancestor?!"
Wu Xuemei screamed, and the jade talisman in her hand was instantly crushed, shattering into pieces.
"What happened?"
The skeletal hand asked in a deep voice.
Wu Xuemei repeated the message that Wu Yuanshan had sent.
The cave was deathly silent.
After a long silence, the skeletal hand spoke, "Are you sure the information is true?"
"My father wouldn't lie to me, and this kind of thing has spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent, the whole country."
"Senior, what do we do now?"
What's the panic!
Her ability to escape from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator does not mean she can defeat one.
I suspect she must have used some forbidden secret technique, or borrowed the power of a supreme treasure; the price must have been extremely high!
"What you mean, senior, is..."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Wu Xuemei's eyes.
"Speed up your cultivation!"
There are still more than ten days until the sect competition. In these ten days, you must break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage!
"Once you break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, I will help you unleash the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, granting you the strength of a peak Deity Transformation cultivator. Even if Shen Rugo is powerful, she will be no match for us!"
"More than ten days, from the middle stage to the later stage? How is that possible..."
Wu Xuemei hesitated.
