Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws Chapter 158 The Soul Retriever, The Two Sects Gathered, There’s No Chance For You

Chapter 158: The Soul Retriever, The Two Sects Gathered, There’s No Chance For You Anymore
“Congratulations host, you have obtained a Starlight Grade item – Soul Retriever!”
Chu Kuangren had just finished his daily gacha rolls today.
His eyes lit up with excitement at the prize. He then activated his thoughts and suddenly, a black chain with a creepy aura appeared in his hand.
There was a hook on one end of the chain, which emanated strands of black air and was cold to the touch like an ice cube.
“So this is the Soul Retriever?”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
The Soul Retriever was a Sage Ruler Weapon and possessed a terrifying ability to extract the soul from one’s body. If Chu Kuangren were to use the Soul Retriever at his current level of strength, even an Honorable Supreme would find it hard to prevent their souls from being reaped.
The soul was a very mysterious thing. It was reported that even the Sages were not proficient in its study, let alone the rest of the cultivators. Besides, only a handful of techniques that targeted the soul existed in this world.
As for something like the Soul Retriever, Chu Kuangren had concluded that not many items like that could be found in the world. After all, items like this were just too rare.
“Ha, with this item, I can basically deal with those below the level of a Sage without fear now.” Chu Kuangren then kept the Soul Retriever into his spiritual mound for further refining.
Since that item possessed a Soul-based Daoist Rhyme, there was a probability that Chu Kuangren could gain insight on a soul related technique from it.
It would be a very difficult process, of course.
Then again, with his extraordinary level of understanding, he might be able to.
“Bachelor Sage.”
At that time, someone walked out of the void. It was Honorable Qing Lan.
“Oh, what’s the matter?” Chu Kuangren asked.
He had assigned Honorable Qing Lan and Old Lady Meng to assist King Qian regarding the issue of the demonic cultivators. Only the Seventh Forefather remained by Chu Kuangren’s side at that time.
Now that Honorable Qing Lan had appeared before him, something must have happened.
“We’ve apprehended someone outside the woods who seemed to be eyeing the Demonic Vanquishment Lake Secret Realm, but this man appears to be a friend of yours, Bachelor Sage.”
“Oh, he’s my friend?”
“It’s the Young Master of the White Jade Hotel, Li Xingchen.”
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised. ‘Why has Li Xingchen come to the Qian Nation?’
“Bring me to him.”
Inside the Qian Nation’s palace.
A group of palace guards was standing guard over a young cultivator. Although some of the guards were Honorables, they still did not dare to let down their guard.
If it were not for Honorable Qing Lan’s and Old Lady Meng’s assistance earlier on, they truly would have had trouble arresting that young man.
“Teacher, why are there so many people here? Has your secret realm been exposed?”Li Xingchen asked the Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit within his body.
That Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit seemed quite anxious as well. “It appears that my secret realm’s location has been discovered. This is not good. Xingchen, the items in the secret realm are of great importance and will benefit you greatly. You must never let anyone have their hands on it.”
“Don’t worry teacher, I’ll come up with something later on.”
Li Xingchen nodded.
He was the Young Master of the White Jade Hotel, which was not weaker in terms of strength when compared to the Qian Nation, hence King Qian would not dare to do anything to him.
Not long after, a whited-clad young man approached them.
Li Xingchen was very surprised upon seeing that person. “Brother Chu!”
Meanwhile, the Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit immediately retracted its aura the moment it noticed Chu Kuangren’s presence, trying its best to conceal itself from him.
“It’s really you, Brother Li.”
Chu Kuangren was surprised. “What brings you here of all places?”
Li Xingchen’s eyes rolled as he replied, “I’m here to gain experiences and improve myself. But for some reason, these people suddenly rushed out along the way and arrested me. Why are you here, Brother Chu?”
Chu Kuangren then briefly told Li Xingchen about the demonic cultivators’ issue.
“I see.” Li Xingchen began to think. ‘It seems that the group of demonic cultivators are after my teacher’s Sage Ruler Heart as well.’ Since that item was left by his teacher to help him on his path of cultivation, he could not afford to let the demonic cultivators take it from him.
As if he had suddenly made up his mind, Li Xingchen then said, “Brother Chu, since there are demonic cultivators causing trouble here, I shall lend you a hand as well.”
“Oh, then I shall thank you on behalf of King Qian then.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He did not mind that Li Xingchen wanted to stay to help, but from their conversation, Chu Kuangren had vaguely discovered that he was hiding something.
Then again, everyone had their secrets. Chu Kuangren did not intend to pursue the matter further, so he ordered the guards to escort Li Xingchen to rest.
…
Soon came night-time, where the full moon was hung high up in the sky.
In the forest southeast of the Capital City, a group of silhouettes had arrived and gathered there. They were the skilled demonic cultivators from the Azure Dragon Domain’s demonic orthodoxies.
Other than the Corpse Refining Sect who did not know and was hence absent, more than half of the skilled cultivators from both the Ashura Sect and Euphoria Sect were present. Even their Sect Masters were there as well.
With that group of people gathered together, the surrounding atmosphere was soon filled with killing intent.
“How do you do, Sect Master of the Ashura Sect.” The Sect Master of Euphoria Sect — a woman with a voluptuous figure — greeted the Sect Master of the Ashura Sect lightly.
The Sect Master of the Ashura Sect was a bald-head hulking man with an overbearing aura emanating from his body. His gaze then swept across every part of the Euphoria Sect’s Sect Master’s body unscrupulously. “I haven’t seen you for so many years, yet you still look like a slutty tramp.”
The Euphoria Sect’s Sect Master frowned. “Since the Demonic Vanquishment Lake has not opened yet, I won’t mind fighting you if unpleasant words continue to come out from your disgusting mouth.”
“Heh, bring it on then. I’ll let you have a taste of my power!” The bald hulking man laughed, his words laced with a double intent.
“Sect Master, please focus on the situation at hand.” Seeing that the two Sect Masters were drawing swords, both their sect’s elders could not help but speak out as the voice of reason to persuade them to stop.
“If a fight happens now, it will attract others over here and that is bad news.”
“You’re right since this is the Qian Nation’s Capital City after all.”
“Moreover… Chu Kuangren is here as well.”
The two Sect Masters could not care less about King Qian but as soon as they heard Chu Kuangren’s name, their expression turned grim.
Even the other demonic cultivators could not help but shudder as well.
Chu Kuangren’s name had already shaken the world as of now and that was especially so among the demonic orthodoxies because he was a god of death that everybody feared.
The battle of the Weeping Demon Mountain was unforgettable for many demonic orthodoxies even until this day.
However, that was three years ago. The current Chu Kuangren would undoubtedly be leagues stronger and more terrifying compared to three years ago.
“D*mn it, why is Chu Kuangren meddling in our issues now? Isn’t the demonic spear that he got from the Northern Lingdao State enough? Now he wants to take the demonic heart for himself? This guy is really not leaving any chances for us at all.”
The Ashura Sect’s Sect Master snorted coldly as he felt a sense of grievance towards the situation.
“Chu Kuangren alone is already enough trouble, not to mention the Honorable Supreme protector he has watching his back. This is why to get the demonic heart, it’s best for us not to make a commotion before entering the secret realm.”
The Euphoria Sect’s Sect Master said.
“Once I have my hands on the demonic heart and ascend to become a Sage, the first thing I’ll do is to kill Chu Kuangren!” The Ashura Sect’s Sect Master’s words were ruthless even though he knew that was quite impossible for him to do.
Even so, that did not stop him from running his mouth as he liked.
“I’m afraid you won’t have a chance now.”
A voice was suddenly heard.
What followed was the overbearing power of a majestic palm that fell from the sky!
The palm attack landed on the Ashura Sect’s Sect Master and plunged him into the ground. A loud bang was immediately heard as the terrifying impact of the attack caused the surface to sink and form into a large crater.
“Who is it?”
“With that palm attack, can it be…”
Everyone looked towards the source of that palm attack.
All they saw was a white-robed figure walking through the air and toward them. With the moonlight shining on him, he looked so pure and holy that it could mesmerize people on sight. It was as if he was an immortal being who had descended from the moon.
However, the only thing that the group of demonic cultivators felt upon seeing Chu Kuangren was sheer horror!
“It’s him! Chu Kuangren!”
“Godd*mn it, why does he have to appear here of all places!”
“What the hell is going on?”
