Chapter 61: Confrontation with the Law Enforcement Hall
As the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall finished speaking, all eyes fell on Luo Xue.
Yes, how did she do it?
Kong Lianbin’s sudden betrayal had captured everyone’s attention.
Except for Bai Zhanying, who was still concerned about Luo Xue’s injuries, no one noticed the battle that had taken place within the small world of falling flowers.
Traces of Yin Breath Poison still lingered in the air. This Yin Poison was essentially extremely concentrated Yin energy.
It was a deadly poison to immortal cultivators, but to demonic and evil cultivators, it was comparable to spiritual energy.
Therefore, many demonic cultivators who practiced Yin-type techniques liked to create a poisonous environment during battles to restrict immortal cultivators.
This was enough to show that Kong Lianbin had indeed gone all out, holding nothing back.
Not to mention…
The Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame.
This life-burning technique commonly used by disciples of the Temple of the Nether Spirit was something that even cultivators throughout the nine provinces of the Immortal Domain feared.
It was like carrying a sliver of a Soul Transformation cultivator’s divine ability, ready to be unleashed for mutual destruction in a desperate situation. Who wouldn’t be terrified when facing such a thing?
Although the power of this sliver that an Innate Realm cultivator could withstand wasn’t that strong, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily resist it…
But for an Innate Realm cultivator to threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator was already outrageous enough.
But Luo Xue was only at the Post-Heaven Realm! The biggest weakness of the Post-Heaven Realm was the lack of soul refinement. Facing a technique that targeted the soul, she would probably be annihilated upon contact.
Unless Luo Xue wasn’t at the Post-Heaven Realm, nor the Innate Realm, but the Spirit Condensation Realm.
She would need to be at least at the Spirit Condensation Realm to barely withstand the burning of the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame.
“I…”
Luo Xue stammered and coughed a few times.
“Grand Elder, at least wait until Xiao Xue’s injuries have subsided before questioning her.”
Bai Zhanying looked at Luo Xue worriedly, regretting her decision to allow her to participate in the Immortal Ascension Gate.
If she hadn’t participated, she wouldn’t have been targeted by the dangerous Demon Abyss spy…
“No.”
The Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was unyielding.
He didn’t even show mercy to the elders who had been in the Peerless Summit Sect for thousands of years, arresting them without hesitation, let alone Luo Xue.
Moreover…
Luo Xue’s identity had always been on the Law Enforcement Hall’s watchlist.
There was no way around it. The Calamity Poison Body… was simply too dangerous.
Once this demonic physique came into contact with demonic cultivation techniques, its cultivation speed would be extremely fast.
Whether it was the baleful energy of graves and corpses, the demonic energy of ancient demons, the resentment of innocent victims, or even the blood energy formed after killing, they were all more nourishing to the Calamity Poison Body than spiritual energy.
The previous Calamity Poison Body, who had massacred half a province, had absorbed the blood energy and resentment from the deaths of hundreds of millions of beings for the sake of cultivation, breaking through two realms within the Nascent Soul stage in just half a year, equivalent to thousands of years of arduous cultivation for ordinary immortal cultivators.
Of course, this wasn’t without a price.
In the end, this terrifying demonic cultivator fell into endless madness and was killed by the combined forces of the Demon Abyss and the Immortal Domain. However, the places contaminated by his corpse remained forbidden zones to this day.
Therefore, the Law Enforcement Hall had been closely monitoring Luo Xue’s cultivation progress. If there were any abnormalities, they would act swiftly.
And now…
Luo Xue’s performance had exceeded the Law Enforcement Hall’s expectations.
The Grand Elder couldn’t sit still any longer.
“Take her to the Law Enforcement Hall, or execute her on the spot.”
The Grand Elder said coldly.
“No…”
Bai Zhanying bit her lip and looked at Sect Master Zou Junxin.
Zou Junxin sighed deeply and turned around.
He was also powerless in this matter.
Not to mention that the Law Enforcement Hall was carrying out its duties, and the Sect Master had no right to interfere. Moreover…
He also had some doubts about the many suspicious points surrounding Luo Xue.
If Luo Xue cultivated normal immortal techniques, although she would inevitably have poisonous spiritual power, it wouldn’t endanger the world.
But once she came into contact with demonic techniques…
Her cultivation progress would only require one thing.
Killing.
Killing more people.
No matter what kind of people, as long as she killed enough.
And for the Calamity Poison Body, this was the easiest thing in the world.
At that time… the Peerless Summit Sect would produce a terrifying demon who would bring disaster to the world. This was something Zou Junxin absolutely didn’t want to see.
Under everyone’s gaze, Luo Xue opened her mouth and said in a low voice,
“I… did indeed conceal my cultivation.”
“What!”
Bai Zhanying’s expression turned to shock. She looked at Luo Xue in disbelief, her gaze gradually becoming unfamiliar.
Her hand, which was supporting Luo Xue, trembled slightly.
How could this be…
Xiao Xue, had she really cultivated demonic techniques? And when did she come into contact with them…
Moreover, if she wanted to advance quickly through demonic techniques, the things she needed to do… were unimaginably cruel.
It was rumored that the recently emerged genius in the Demon Abyss, the new Holy Maiden of the Temple of the Nether Spirit, had achieved enlightenment through slaughter, personally killing tens of thousands of cultivators.
Bai Zhanying’s mind was in turmoil.
The Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall had an “I knew it” expression. He sneered and looked at Kong Lianbin’s corpse.
“The Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame, released at the cost of burning one’s fate at the Innate Realm, is impossible to resist without Spirit Condensation cultivation.”
“From the Post-Heaven Realm to the Spirit Condensation Realm, besides talent, the most important thing is the accumulation of spiritual power, transcending mortality through spiritual power, completely shedding the mortal body.”
“This is the fastest period of advancement for demonic cultivation techniques!”
Rapid progress wasn’t always a good thing.
Although forcibly refining blood energy and baleful energy into one’s body through demonic techniques could lead to the fastest advancement, it would easily result in an unstable foundation.
Not to mention immortal cultivators, even demonic cultivators rarely used such a crude method.
But in this situation…
There was only one explanation.
Luo Xue, disregarding her foundation, had forcibly used demonic cultivation techniques to reach the Spirit Condensation Realm, allowing her to survive the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame.
But this kind of demonic technique usually required harming lives…
“Speak, did you secretly slaughter mortals to advance your realm!”
The Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall’s gaze was like a torch, and he shouted sharply.
At the same time, a sliver of his Nascent Soul aura pressed down on Luo Xue, causing her to cough up another mouthful of blood, the purplish-red liquid slowly flowing on the ground.
“…Grand Elder, I don’t know… what you’re talking about.”
Luo Xue groaned in pain and forced her eyes open.
“If not, where did your Spirit Condensation cultivation come from?” The Grand Elder said coldly. “If you’re trying to tell me that you’re a peerless genius, there’s no need.”
“But… I haven’t reached Spirit Condensation…”
Luo Xue thought to herself, why did you suddenly promote me a realm, while slowly revealing her cultivation.
Mid-stage Innate Realm, about to enter the Mind Strengthening Realm.
This was Luo Xue’s true realm. Because she was only revealing her cultivation level, she didn’t release the aura of the Xuanyin Phoenix Transformation Scripture.
“No… how is this possible?” The Grand Elder sensed Luo Xue’s cultivation and frowned. “How can you only be at the Innate Realm? Without the Spirit Condensation Realm, it’s impossible to resist the Bone-Eroding Demonic Flame!”
His sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Luo Xue.
“Move aside, Zhanying, I will personally examine her cultivation!”
