Chapter 1316 A Huge Secret?
The cultivators of the Nether Phoenix Clan did not want to die.
I don't want to be tortured to death, nor do I want a quick and painless death.
Ke Ningruan didn't give him time to hesitate.
At that time, the Soul Control Talisman was used again.
"Uh-"
The shrill screams instantly drowned out the other two Nether Phoenix Clan cultivators.
Even without the attack of the ink-wash figurine, he was in so much pain that he arched his back, his whole body convulsing uncontrollably.
pain!
It hurts!
But the most terrifying thing is not the pain at this moment.
Because as long as he doesn't give in, the pain will intensify and continue indefinitely.
He could endure it for a while, but he couldn't endure it forever.
No.
It wasn't just him.
Even if it were someone else, he felt he wouldn't be able to stand it.
"I promise... I promise you! Give me a quick death, please, give me a quick death!"
The Nether Phoenix Clan cultivator used almost his last bit of strength to squeeze out a roar from the depths of his soul, each word seemingly carrying a bloody surrender.
Ning Ruan remained calm.
The fingertips paused only slightly.
Within the painting, the other party's heart-wrenching screams abruptly ceased.
The pain brought by the Soul Control Talisman receded like the tide, leaving behind only a deep-seated exhaustion and fear.
The cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan was panting heavily. Before the joy of surviving the ordeal could even rise, it was completely frozen by Ning Ruan's calm and unwavering voice.
"Come out."
Ning Ruan lightly touched the painting with her fingertips.
With a flash of light, the Nether Phoenix Clan cultivator, who had been tortured to the point of near death, was thrown out and slammed heavily onto the deck of the spirit boat.
He didn't even dare to look Ning Ruan in the eye, but just lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably with fear.
Ning Ruan remained silent.
He casually took out a jade pendant that was entirely emerald green and exuded a gentle life force from his storage belt and threw it in front of him.
"Soul-Nourishing Jade".
Qianjue's gaze sharpened as he recognized the object.
Sure enough, no wonder Ning Ruan was always concerned about whether she could be resurrected and whether her soul could be extracted.
I didn't even consider what to use to nourish it.
She actually did have it.
Even such rare things exist.
At this moment, even if Ning Ruan pulled out something outrageous, he wouldn't seem surprised anymore.
"Is this okay?" Ning Ruan asked.
The cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan took a look and nodded repeatedly.
It's more than just possible.
In any other situation, he would definitely want to take this kind of thing.
"Yes, this is excellent. It will be even more effective in repairing the soul."
"Then you should summon the soul." Ning Ruan's eyes narrowed slightly. "If I find out you've done anything wrong, you know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, the cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan couldn't help but shudder again. "No, it can't be."
Having said that, he dared not delay any longer.
With trembling hands, he placed the Soul-Nourishing Jade between Chi Ling's eyebrows.
Then begin forming hand seals.
The handprints were complex and chaotic, seemingly without any discernible pattern.
But as he formed the hand seals, strange and complex hand seals flew out from his fingertips and entered Chi Ling's lifeless body.
Qian Jue, standing to the side, held his breath, his expression solemn.
Although this matter seems to have nothing to do with him.
But he really hoped things would go smoothly.
If things don't go smoothly and something unexpected happens, Ning Ruan will probably hold this grudge against the ten major races again.
As long as people are still alive, everything is fine.
He could clearly sense that, as the Nether Phoenix Clan cultivators cast their spells, an extremely faint, almost nonexistent spiritual fluctuation was being slowly drawn out from the depths of Chi Ling's corpse.
There really is a divine soul.
Qianjue's heart was instantly relieved.
Time passed by, second by second.
The foreheads of the Nether Phoenix Clan cultivators were already covered in cold sweat.
His face was even paler than Chi Ling's corpse.
The soul-summoning technique was extremely taxing on him, not to mention he was already seriously injured.
The damage to his soul, in particular, was quite severe.
Finally, just as his body was about to be completely drained, a wisp of crimson-gold light, fainter than a candle flame, drifted out from between Chi Ling's eyebrows.
The light flickered intermittently, as if it might go out at any moment.
"receive!"
The cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan shouted sharply.
The emerald jade pendant between Chi Ling's brows instantly shone brightly.
A gentle suction force suddenly arose, steadily drawing the crimson-gold light into it.
hum!
The Soul-Nourishing Jade trembled slightly, and a flowing golden halo seemed to appear on its body.
Become!
The cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan slumped to the ground, panting heavily with relief. He looked up at Ning Ruan, a pleading glint in his eyes: "I...I've done it. Her soul is preserved. Although she's not fully awake yet, with this Soul-Nourishing Jade to nurture it, she'll be back soon..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Ruan had already bent down and picked up the Soul-Nourishing Jade.
She gently stroked the smooth jade surface with her fingertips, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar aura within it, her expression calm.
"Lord Qian," Ning Ruan said calmly without turning around, "Give him a quick death."
The cultivator from the Nether Phoenix Clan: "..."
They actually want to kill him?
His pale face was filled with despair.
Fear remained deep within his pupils.
"Ning Ruan, I... I am a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. Since you have already left something in my body, I can be at your beck and call and call of your body. Please don't kill me."
"I'm still useful to you."
“It’s no use.” Ning Ruan shook her head. “Besides, I’m a person who keeps my promises. Since I said I would help you guide my soul and I would give you a quick death, I have to do it.”
The Nether Phoenix Clan cultivator: "..." No, there's absolutely no need to keep such a promise.
"Lord of the Thousand Cities, let's make our move," Ning Ruan repeated.
Her clear gaze shifted to Qian Jue, who remained silent to the side.
Qian Jue silently stepped forward, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm expert crashed down.
The aura of death instantly enveloped the cultivators of the Nether Phoenix Clan.
"and many more!"
Just as Qian Jue was about to make his move, the Nether Phoenix Clan cultivator seemed to have grasped at a last straw, and roared with all his might, "I have one more secret! A huge secret! If you're willing to let me go, I'll tell you!"
He speaks extremely fast, as if afraid that if he is even half a beat slow, he will miss the chance.
"This secret concerns the survival of your ten races!"
Before Ning Ruan could answer, he impatiently shouted out the rest.
"The various ethnic groups will soon..."
His voice came to an abrupt end here.
Those eyes, wide with fear and anxiety, instantly lost all their luster, becoming empty and lifeless.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he collapsed limply onto the deck.
There was no sign of life.
Their souls and spirits were annihilated.
Dead beyond dead.
Qianjue froze in mid-air, staring in astonishment at the rapidly cooling corpse on the ground, then at his own hand that was still about to fall.
An eerie silence fell over the entire spirit boat.
Ning Ruan slowly withdrew her gaze, and for the first time, a clear look of surprise appeared in her clear eyes.
She turned her head and looked at Qianjue, who was also looking completely bewildered.
"I haven't done it yet." Qianjue said subconsciously, his voice dry, "He... I didn't kill him."
