Chapter 56: Painted Skin Spell
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Nangong Baizhan’s words, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.
Everyone knew that once they went on the Conscience Platform, they would no longer be able to control their own thoughts.
They would answer truthfully to everything asked.
If Nangong Baizhan wanted to pry into the secrets of everyone present, it would probably be very difficult for them to resist.
Nangong Baizhan saw the worry on everyone’s face. He said in a low voice,
“I can assure you that when you go on the platform, I will only ask if you are colluding with the demonic cultivators. Other than that, I will not ask anything else.”
Hearing Nangong Baizhan’s promise, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.
As one of the three Golden Core Immortals of the Ganyang Sect, Nangong Baizhan’s promise was clearly very credible.
Not long after he finished speaking, a Qianyang Sect cultivator took the initiative to walk up to the platform.
Nangong Baizhan immediately asked.
“Are you a demonic cultivator? Are you colluding with demonic cultivators?”
The Ganyang Sect cultivator shook his head.
“I’m not a demonic cultivator, and I don’t have any collusion with demonic cultivators.”
Then, Nangong Baizhan asked him to leave the platform.
Seeing this, everyone, who was originally a little worried, finally relaxed.
Hence, everyone went on the platform one after another.
Shen Yuanlong and the cultivators of the Shen family walked down from the platform one after another.
However, Shen Yuanlong still remembered the reminder his sister, Shen Mengxue, had given him.
Therefore, after he walked down from the platform with the Shen family, he immediately walked to the back.
There were some cultivators who wanted to curry favor with Nangong Baizhan. At this moment, they were still surrounding him and praising him nonstop. This actually brought a faint smile on Nangong Baizhan’s originally stern face.
However, at this moment, a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came down from the platform suddenly walked to Nangong Baizhan’s side.
The few Violet Palace Realm cultivators surrounding Nangong Baizhan immediately frowned and asked the Foundation Establishment cultivators, “Stop there. What are you doing?”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at each other and did not say anything. However, they continued to approach them.
Displeasure immediately appeared on the face of the Violet Palace Realm cultivators.
However, Nangong Baizhan, who was in the center, instinctively sensed that something was wrong. His expression suddenly changed.
“Not good! Everyone, move aside!”
BOOM!
It was at this moment that a huge explosion suddenly soared into the sky.
A shockwave that carried endless demonic qi and killing intent instantly swept past everyone nearby.
The Supreme Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, who had yet to recover from his injuries, was instantly torn to pieces by the terrifying shock wave.
Other than him, the other Violet Palace Realm cultivators also suffered a blow.
Although they took out their defensive Dharma artifacts at the sound of the explosion, they were still a step slower. A few of them suffered extremely serious injuries.
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded in everyone’s ears.
Immediately after, three to four black beads surrounded by dense demonic qi and murderous aura flew towards them.
“It’s the Demonic Bead!”
The expressions of the few surviving Violet Palace Realm cultivators immediately changed drastically.
At this moment, they realized what had severely injured them just now. It was the Level 3 disposable tool that could threaten the life of a Violet Palace Realm cultivator, the Demonic Bead!
Now, there were another four coming.
If they were hit again, there was no doubt that even if they did not die, they would definitely be on the verge of death and their journey of the Dao would come to an end.
“It’s you! Phantom Demon, Xie Feiyang! You manipulated them!”
Nangong Baizhan’s angry shout suddenly sounded in the air.
Immediately after, a long spear wrapped in powerful magic power pointed at the three or four pitch-black Demonic Beads and instantly annihilated them in the air.
It could be seen how powerful Nangong Baizhan was as a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
At this moment, his eyes were burning with anger. He was like a god of war who had returned from ancient times. His gaze was fixed on an ordinary-looking Qi Refinement Realm cultivator in the crowd.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator’s face.
Then, like a candle melting, he shrunk and eventually turned into a greasy yellowish-brown human skin that quietly fell to the ground.
“It’s a demonic spell, the Painted Skin!”
Some people recognized this strange spell and could not help but reveal terrified expressions.
Legend had it that people who cultivated this spell could find a carrier and leave a trace of his soul in the carrier.
There was a huge drawback to cultivating this spell. That was, one had to take away their flesh, blood, and bones and leave only the skin, completely becoming a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
In addition, cultivators who cultivated this spell needed a large number of living human skins as sacrifices every day.
In modern terms, it was like changing clothes.
However, what they changed were not clothes but human skins.
“Nangong, this is a warning from me to your Ganyang Sect. Guess, if you continue, who will become the sacrifice for my next human skin?”
A cold and evil voice suddenly sounded in the air.
It was filled with endless viciousness and gloom.
Everyone’s faces could not help but reveal endless fear.
Including the Violet Palace Realm cultivators present.
Clearly, all of them knew that Xie Feiyang was the strangest and trickiest Golden Core demonic cultivator.
His Painted Kin Spell had already reached an extremely profound level. Even if several Golden Core Realm masters joined forces, they might not be able to really take him down.
Moreover, his true body was always hiding in the dark.
What appeared in front of everyone was usually just his skin.
“You’re courting death!”
The spear in Nangong Baizhan’s hand suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
With a bang, the yellowish-brown human skin that fell to the ground was instantly reduced to dust.
Then, he disappeared on the spot.
After a long time, everyone looked up at the sky in shock.
A mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the sky.
The shock wave instantly spread out across the sky for tens of thousands of kilometers.
After about ten minutes, Nangong Baizhan returned to the crowd, holding his spear.
However, at that moment, the crowd noticed that there was a huge hole in Nangong Baizhan’s chest.
The flesh and blood inside were still moving, slowly pushing out the wisps of black gas that were letting out shrill cries.
A few hours later.
Only then did Nangong Baizhan’s chest return to normal.
He swept his cold gaze across everyone present and said coldly,
“Everyone, continue to clean up the demonic cultivators with me.
Once you find them, kill them without mercy!”
“Yes!”
Without delay, they bowed to receive the order.
