Chapter 41 – Soul Sacrifice

Suddenly…

​Numerous beams of holy light blossomed from Qingyu’s body, until she was wrapped in a white halo.

“Ahhh!”

When Ye Ron, who was trying to catch Qingyu, touched this white halo, he was violently pushed away by the mysterious power it exerted. Immediately, one of his arms was severely injured, as even the cracking sound of bones could be heard.

- Boom! -

The sword of Battle Qi created by Ye Jian had also drawn close to the halo. Once they collided with each other, a formidable blast broke out, creating waves upon waves of fierce shock waves. All the elders stepped back by the force of this power!

“What? What is going on?”

“What… what kind of mysterious power is this?”

“Gosh, it seems that I have sensed a touch of some mysterious atmosphere…”

The whole crowd of elders stood dumbfounded, as though they were just hit by thunder. Experienced as they were, they seldom encountered anything like this.

- Hiss! -

Qinghan’s clothing was torn into strips by the power. Meanwhile, Qingyu, with the halo still lingering around her body, gradually rose up in the air. Her delicate face, bathed in the white rays, was perfectly portraying her holy, breath-taking beauty. Right now, with the effect of the halo, she looked like a fairy from heaven, no one dared to stare directly in her eyes.

“Brother! Promise me, you must stay alive!” Qingyu stared at Qinghan lovingly and showed a smile of true happiness. The tenderness in her eyes could almost melt the whole world.

Hardly had she finished her words, or she closed her eyes, and began to utilize the power within her body. Suddenly, without any wind, her dress stirred and her hair danced in the air. Eventually, all of her black hair turned white.

“Soul Sacrifice!”

With a scream, Qingyu opened her eyes. She rolled the whole halo up into a luminous ball, before she threw it directly into Qinghan’s body. Afterwards, she gave Qinghan a final glance. Gradually, she descended onto the ground, her eyes closed, permanently…

“Noooo!”

Qinghan screamed out while he firmly clenched his fists. At this moment, he was so inconsolable, that he didn’t realize that the white rays inside his body, were healing his wounds at a stunningly fast speed. Actually, not only did the rays recover him, but also endowed him with a temporarily mighty power. However, Qinghan had no interest in this newly-obtained power, the only thing he could think about at this moment was his sister, who was lying there motionless. He could‘ve lost his sister forever!

……

“Soul Sacrifice? What the fuck is that?”

“I’ve never heard of something like that either. Honestly, I was overwhelmed by its power. At first sight, I thought that an immortal had descended from the Heavens. Oh, God, this is terrifying…”

“Does anyone here know something about this Soul Sacrifice? What kind of power is it?”

“Thank goodness. Despite the imposing momentum, it didn’t injure anyone. Now, I suppose that girl is already dead. Personally, I’m rather glad to see that it was just a false alarm.”

The elders didn’t care much about the miserable howls of Qinghan, rather, they were more interested in the mysterious power, that was generated by Qingyu. This terrifying power was simply beyond their comprehension, so they engaged in a hot discussion among themselves.

“I know.” Elder Tianqing had been silent, but now he suddenly broke in, “Qingyu possesses a Jade Spirit Body, which is one of the two holy bodies in this continent. All of us should feel guilty about her death. Because of our wrong judgement, we have forever lost a holy body; at the same time, we have also lost the opportunity to raise an advanced cultivator, who, with the help of the holy body, could reach the peak level of the Realm of the Saint! Therefore, I will confess today’s events to our leader.”

“Oh!!”

“Jade Spirit Body!”

The mentioning of the Jade Spirit Body stirred the crowd up – some shocked, while others showed regret, and still others pitied the death of Qingyu.

Ye Qiang coldly gazed at Ye Jian, as he predicted that Ye Jian and Ye Ron would be punished once their family leader. Of course, only after Ye Tianlong was notified about the loss of a holy body.
