Chapter 1352: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_4 Chapter 1352: Chapter 737 Rank-5 Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu_4 The Spirit Stones mined from the mines in the Eastern Wilderness, ninety percent of which were sent to the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace, sometimes Kong Lingling herself would go, and other times, Lan Lingping would take her place.
Within the Dongtu Ice Heaven Palace, Lan Lingping had seen the Bing Yun Hermit behind the ice curtains.
“Kong Lingling has been practicing the ways of the Demon Path…”
Since Lan Lingping recognized her, the Bing Yun Hermit no longer introduced herself, but erupted with the formidable pressure of a Nascent Soul, forcing all members of Snow-blowing Palace to kneel involuntarily.
She then began to pronounce the crimes of Kong Lingling.
“This is impossible…”
Zhu Jinyu and others couldn’t accept that their revered Master could be tainted by the Demon Path. After hearing the charges, they shook their heads under the pressure of the Nascent Soul, indicating such a thing was impossible.
“This is Saintess Yuan Zhen from the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. The matter of Kong Lingling has been settled. If anyone from the Snow-blowing Palace is also tainted by the Demon Path, come forward now and confess, while I can still offer you a swift end.”
The Bing Yun Hermit, with the gains of the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu, was now single-mindedly thinking of cutting ties with the Snow-blowing Palace as quickly as possible, to put an end to this matter.
Even the excuse of the successor she had discussed with Chen Mobai could be discarded, should the need arise.
“Reporting to the Elder, we truly did not know of the Master… of Kong Lingling’s practice of the Demon Path. I only heard her mention that she had contracted a human-like Spirit Beast with peculiar talent. As long as it grew, it would be Rank-4, no less powerful than a Nascent Soul!”
The reputation of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect frightened Zhu Jinyu, and she immediately revealed what she knew. She even directly swore a Daoist Heart Oath to demonstrate her innocence.
As she spoke, the remaining people like Lan Lingping also came to their senses, knowing only a Daoist Heart Oath could save them, and they began to swear oaths, stating they knew nothing about Kong Lingling’s involvement with the Demon Path.
In the end, only one person didn’t swear.
Chen Mobai’s gaze moved over, landing on a beautiful young girl with dainty brows, eyes, and pale ice-blue hair that reached her waist.
It was Bai Cai.
“Bai Nephew seems to know about her Master’s involvement with the Demon Path.”
As Chen Mobai spoke, he glanced at the Bing Yun Hermit beside him. Sure enough, she frowned tightly, clearly Bai Cai was the successor she had previously mentioned.
“I dare not conceal from the Elders. When I delivered the Fasting Pill to my Master, I saw the Demonic Sacred Embryo. She also revealed to me the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation and wanted to impart it to me.”
Under the scrutiny of the Nascent Souls and Golden Core Cultivators present, Bai Cai was somewhat overwhelmed. But because she knew of matters related to the Demonic Sacred Embryo, she couldn’t dare to swear the Daoist Heart Oath directly.
“Did she actually impart the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation to you?”
Yuan Zhen immediately asked, while Chen Mobai was observing everyone’s expressions. He did not see Xue Ting; she was always assigned to farming and luckily missed this incident.
However, according to the rules of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, all key Cultivators from Snow-blowing Palace, as well as the subordinate Sects and family forces under its command, must issue a Daoist Heart Oath. Only after verifying there were no problems would they be let go.
“My Master… She only revealed the Cultivation Technique to me, without imparting it.”
While answering, Bai Cai was raising her hand to swear, ensuring that every word of her response was true.
“Then do you know if she has been practicing the ways of the Demon Path?”
Yuan Zhen asked again.
“I inquired about the Technique of Demon Foetus Transformation. Since the form of the Demonic Sacred Embryo was odd, I felt something was amiss and harbored such suspicions.”
Bai Cai’s words elicited a sigh from Bing Yun Hermit, who closed her eyes.
Chen Mobai also shook his head; with this, the guilt of Bai Cai’s concealment was clearly confirmed.
Bing Yun Hermit finally got a clean break and cleared her name. She certainly wouldn’t allow herself to be tainted again for the sake of a mere Disciple.
“Knowing yet not reporting constitutes the crime of concealing and harboring. According to the rules, you are sentenced to the punishment of seven swords piercing the body. Do you have any objections?”
Yuan Zhen was relatively lenient, considering that although Bai Cai knew, she did not practice the demonic cultivation methods, so she decided to spare her life.
The punishment of seven swords piercing the body would at most cause severe damage to her vital energy.
“I have no objections!”
After hearing this, Bai Cai gave a rueful smile. Then, just as Yuan Zhen was about to act, suddenly her face turned pale, and blood streamed from all seven of her orifices.
“Eh, this is backlash from the Daoist Heart Oath!”
Upon seeing this scene, Saintess Yuan Zhen’s face showed shock, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally watched as Bai Cai’s life force ebbed away, walking towards death.
“When Master…told me…about this…he made me…also take…a Daoist Heart Oath, if I were to betray…and reveal it, I would die…bleeding from every orifice.”
Bai Cai coughed continuously, her beautiful face twisted in agony, her entire body collapsed on the ground, fresh blood spurted from her seven orifices, quickly staining her white dress and the ground red.
Witnessing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but sigh.
After learning about Kong Lingling’s matter, Bai Cai was essentially on a path to certain death.
Even if she had become a disciple of Bing Yun Hermit, this Daoist Heart Oath would weigh on her forever, plaguing her cultivation and breakthroughs with heavy inner demons.
Even if she were later to advance to Core Formation or even Nascent Soul, the sword of Jiutian Dangmo Sect would always be hanging over her head.
So to say, Kong Lingling having fallen into deviltry, really did bring harm to others!
Not only did she torment herself to death, but she also dragged a disciple with boundless prospects into the abyss.
“Associating with the Demon Path, her death is not worth lamenting.”
At this time, Bing Yun Hermit snorted coldly, extended a finger, and a cold white lightning pierced directly through Bai Cai’s Sea of Consciousness between her eyebrows.
Chen Mobai watched this unfold, remaining silent.
He, however, had made up his mind, that in the future, he would refrain from making a Daoist Heart Oath if possible.
You still need to build a society based on trust; the Daoist Heart Oath should only be used as a last resort.
“Gather all the sect members and disciples related to Snow-blowing Palace,” said Saintess Yuan Zhen after seeing Bai Cai’s death, shaking her head, although she also found it a pity that this talented cultivator of remarkable appearance had died because of her Master, Kong Lingling. As a person from Jiutian Dangmo Sect, she was used to such sights, and she started to give orders to the remaining people like Zhu Jinyu.
“Ensure everyone involved is assembled here within three days. Those who fail to appear shall be treated as having ties with the Demon Path, and I will personally execute them.”
Bing Yun Hermit seemed truly enraged this time, and gave a stern command directly at Zhu Jinyu and the others.
Chen Mobai was probably the only one present who understood why she reacted so strongly.
Under the threat to life, ninety-nine percent of the involved cultivators gathered at Snow-blowing Palace within three days; seven did not come.
According to Zhu Jinyu, the messages had all been delivered.
Since they didn’t come, they were to be treated as Magic Daoist Monks.
Bing Yun Hermit was true to her word, taking the portraits of the seven individuals and personally pursued them.
Because Chen Mobai had previously closed all Teleportation Arrays in the various Fang Markets of Snow County ahead of time, the seven individuals didn’t get far.
Ten days later, Bing Yun Hermit returned with seven corpses.
At this time, in the Snow-blowing Palace, every person had also taken the Daoist Heart Oath.
As it turned out, Kong Lingling’s secrecy was not bad; only Bai Cai knew.
“Let’s settle it this way then, if the two of you have no objections, please sign and affix your seal.”
After dealing with the matter, Saintess Yuan Zhen had her female disciple draft a document and then showed it to Chen Mobai and Bing Yun Hermit.
“Sainted Lady Yuan, as a small sect from the Eastern Wilderness, my Five Elements Sect is somewhat concerned about Ice Heaven Palace’s retaliation for exposing Kong Lingling’s demonic deeds.”
Bai Cai having died, Chen Mobai was concerned that the agreement previously reached with Bing Yun Hermit might not hold, so he spoke out.
“In that case, perhaps Bing Yun Hermit could make a promise, after returning with me to East Land, to no longer come to the Eastern Wilderness!”
Yuan Zhen thought it over and found it reasonable, so she spoke up on behalf of Chen Mobai.
Upon hearing this, Bing Yun Hermit’s eyes widened immediately!
If I don’t come, how can I obtain the Blue Luminous Ice Heart Jutsu?
