The figure in black was none other than Wei Chen, who had infiltrated the Alchemy Path.
With the strength of the Refined Realm, killing Song Qingshan was not an impossible task.
Upon hearing the words "Soul Dissolution Powder," the person trembled all over. Everyone knew that Soul Dissolution Powder was a nightmare for low-level Soul Warriors.
Once one entered the ranks of Soul Warriors, even if they were not particularly skilled, they could still hold some military position in the Sui Kingdom or be valued by prominent families as guards, which was still a decent option. However, if one fell victim to Soul Dissolution Powder, all previous efforts would be in vain.
The disciple had his neck gripped tightly, his face turning as red as liver. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Wei Chen released his grip and coldly said, "Soul Dissolution Powder is colorless and tasteless. I took the antidote beforehand, but you are already poisoned. Take me to find Song Qingshan if you want the antidote!"
"Please spare me! Brother Song has returned to Jinhua Mansion; he will be back soon." The disciple pleaded tearfully. Tomorrow, Song Qingshan was to marry Weirou, and according to custom, he had to visit his family first. At this time, he surely wouldn't be at Cloud Spirit Sect—how could they find him?
Wei Chen's eyes turned cold. "Is that true?"
"Of course it's true! Who would dare deceive you?" The disciple fell to his knees with a thud, repeatedly bowing his head in desperation for the antidote. Wei Chen remained silent for a moment before knocking him unconscious with a single palm strike and swiftly escaping from the Alchemy Path.
"I almost forgot about that; I can only wait until tomorrow. Killing Song Qingshan in front of everyone at Cloud Spirit Sect—can I escape safely? But at least I can ensure Sister Wei Rou continues her cultivation at Cloud Spirit Sect; that wouldn't be a loss!"
Inside Cloud Spirit Sect's Alchemy Path, lanterns were brightly lit, and everyone knew today was a joyous occasion for Elder Song's only grandson, Song Qingshan. He was set to marry Weirou, a disciple of the Flower Soul Lineage—a match considered fitting both within Cloud Spirit Sect and the Sui Kingdom. Typically, there would be a celebration at Cloud Spirit Sect first before moving to the family estate for another ceremony, subtly indicating the merging of Cloud Spirit Sect's influence with that of the royal dynasty.
Song He held significant status not only within Cloud Spirit Sect but also among the six Fifth-Rank sects in the entire Sui Kingdom. Many from other sects came to congratulate him at Cloud Spirit Sect.
The atmosphere in Cloud Spirit Sect was lively, especially within Alchemy Path where crowds gathered in droves. The Flower Soul Lineage also radiated joy since most people were unaware that Weirou had no desire to marry Song Qingshan.
On the essential path from Alchemy Path to Flower Soul Lineage Base sat a young man quietly in meditation, his eyes lightly closed and breathing rhythmic. Waves of Soul Power surged into him like moths drawn to a flame, enveloping him in a gray mist.
A vast amount of Soul Power flowed through his meridians, continuously strengthening his physique. After reaching the Refined Realm, a Soul Warrior's comprehension of Soul Power significantly increased; Wei Chen's absorption and circulation of Soul Power became smoother than before, allowing for quicker release of Soul Techniques.
"Song Qingshan will definitely come personally to greet his bride; he will have many companions with him. I can only strike once and leave quickly; otherwise, being besieged would be troublesome. It is not worth risking my life just to kill Song Qingshan."
Wei Chen murmured to himself, his expression calm, yet a terrifying killing intent flickered deep within his eyes.
A grand wedding procession approached, led by a man riding a tall steed, dressed in resplendent crimson robes, exuding confidence and pride—none other than Song Qingshan!
"Brother Song, Sister Wei is one of the most beautiful women in our Cloud Spirit Sect. You are truly fortunate!"
"Indeed, Brother Song! Even if it weren't Sister Wei, just marrying any disciple from the Flower Soul Lineage would be a blessing beyond measure!"
"When we enter the Flower Soul Lineage later, make sure to keep an eye out. Who knows, maybe one of the beauties there will take a liking to us?"
Dozens of disciples from the Alchemy Path followed behind Song Qingshan, showering him with compliments. Song Qingshan smiled broadly but remained silent; only he knew that marrying Weirou was not as simple as the Cloud Spirit Sect disciples imagined.
"To embrace a beauty? Hmph! After today, I will make that bitch suffer until she is broken!"
Song Qingshan thought to himself, unconsciously revealing a cold smile.
"Qingshan, when you meet the elders of the Flower Soul Lineage, be more courteous and don't lose your manners." A steady voice came from beside him. A middle-aged man frowned slightly; as Song Qingshan's uncle, Song Xiao had watched him grow up. He understood deeply that while Song Qingshan had talent, his arrogance and lack of diligence in cultivation would limit his future achievements.
Song Xiao had also been a member of the Cloud Spirit Sect in his youth but later returned to Sui Kingdom's Jinhua Mansion to join the Song Family. Now at the Fourth Rank Spirit Realm, he was on par with the elders of the Cloud Spirit Sect. Accompanying Song Qingshan to the Flower Soul Lineage for the wedding allowed him to oversee everything.
Song Qingshan nodded and replied respectfully, "Uncle, you can rest assured; I understand."
"The foundation of the Song Family awaits your inheritance. After the wedding, you should have children quickly and return to Jinhua Mansion. Your father is currently striving for the Fifth Rank Spirit Realm and is too preoccupied to manage family affairs; you need to prepare to take over," Song Xiao said sternly, his brow furrowed deeply as he glared at Song Qingshan. "Don't you want to go back?"
Seeing Song Qingshan's face darken considerably, Song Xiao assumed he was reluctant to return due to a desire for pleasure and grew slightly angry.
"No, no! I will leave Cloud Spirit Sect soon to manage family matters; you can rest easy, Uncle," Song Qingshan quickly explained. He knew that angering this uncle would lead to no good outcome.
"Wei Chen, only by tearing you into pieces can I return! None of you Wei siblings will escape!"
At that moment, out of the corner of Song Qingshan's eye, he spotted Wei Chen sitting by the roadside with a smile on his face, watching him. He suddenly shivered, unable to believe that Wei Chen had chosen to show up today instead of hiding away.
“Wei Chen!”
Song Qingshan shouted angrily, jumping off his horse and drawing his sword in one swift motion, his entire demeanor shifting to one of fury, leaving the disciples of Alchemy Path stunned.
Everyone knew that Wei Chen was essentially Song Qingshan's brother-in-law; why would he inexplicably draw his sword?
Song Xiao also looked somewhat bewildered. What was going on?
“Heh heh, Song Qingshan, you can't even handle a weapon and you still want to marry my sister?”
With his hands behind his back, Wei Chen wore a teasing expression, but no one noticed that his two fingers were unexpectedly dark in color!
Having reached the first level of Refined Realm, the Silent Extinction Finger could now be executed with two fingers!
“Bastard, you’re asking for death!” Song Qingshan's rage ignited completely as he swung his sword towards Wei Chen!
The disciples of Alchemy Path, seeing Wei Chen looking for trouble, all wore mocking expressions. Wasn’t this just asking for death?
Meanwhile, within the Flower Soul Lineage, Weirou sat alone in her room. Instead of wearing a bright red wedding gown, she was dressed in plain clothes, just like usual.
“Wei Chen, you told me to wait in peace, but how can I be at peace? Who can tell me what exactly you intend to do?”
Weirou murmured softly, tears streaming down her face.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Song Qingshan’s sword moved with incredible speed, a red glow like a venomous snake ready to strike as he quickly closed in on Wei Chen. However, just as his sword was about to pierce Wei Chen's chest, Wei Chen's eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a chilling killing intent that even caused Song Qingshan's momentum to falter!
"Die!" Wei Chen shouted, his hands that had been behind his back suddenly thrusting forward. Two streams of energy shot out, aiming directly at Song Qingshan's heart!
At such a close distance, Song Qingshan had no chance to evade. He was forced to retract his sword in shock, and just as Wei Chen's Silent Extinction Finger was about to strike his chest, Song Xiao, who had been watching coldly from the side, moved swiftly. In an instant, he appeared in front of Song Qingshan, unleashing two powerful black palm shadows that surged forward!
It seemed as if the surrounding space was collapsing under the force of the palm shadows. Song Xiao's hands forcefully countered Wei Chen's finger strike!
In the Refined Realm against the Power Realm, even if Wei Chen's Silent Extinction Finger was incredibly powerful, it couldn't penetrate Song Xiao's palm shadows!
Wei Chen looked at Song Xiao, narrowing his eyes with a serious expression. He never expected that Song Qingshan would come to propose with such a formidable expert by his side!
A Fourth Rank Spirit Realm master was a force he could not contend with!
Wei Chen's gaze slowly swept over Song Xiao as he coldly asked, "Who are you?"
Before Song Xiao could respond, Song Qingshan shrieked, "Uncle, help me kill him!"
Song Xiao shot a cold glance at Song Qingshan before turning back to Wei Chen and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? What grievances do you have with my nephew that you would attack so viciously?"
"Viciously?" Wei Chen smirked disdainfully. "Was he any softer when he killed me?"
As Song Qingshan attempted to draw his sword again, he was pulled back by Song Xiao. "You stay out of this!"
The disciples from the Alchemy Path who had accompanied Song Qingshan were dumbfounded. They recognized Wei Chen but couldn't comprehend why Song Xiao, Song Qingshan's uncle, would defend him.
"Brother, what you just used was the Silent Extinction Finger, right?" Song Xiao's expression turned grave. The reason for his concern was indeed Wei Chen's Soul Technique—Silent Extinction Finger! Song Xiao had witnessed the scene where Donghua killed Ge Qiu Yang long ago while training at Cloud Spirit Sect!
The power of Silent Extinction Finger was not merely that of a Sixth-Rank Soul Skill; it also represented the person behind Wei Chen—Donghua!
Wei Chen understood now; because of Donghua's influence, Song Xiao dared not take action against him!
"Today, I will kill Song Qingshan. If you try to stop me again, Donghua will take action, and your Song Family will be doomed!"
Wei Chen looked at Song Qingshan mockingly. He knew that by invoking Donghua's name, Song Xiao would be filled with dread, creating an opportunity for him.
However, Song Xiao stepped forward, shielding Song Qingshan behind him, and sneered, "Even if Donghua himself comes, he cannot kill in front of me!"
"Oh? Is that so?" A light laugh reached everyone's ears. They looked up to see a figure in white soaring down from above, landing gracefully beside Wei Chen.
Glancing at Song Xiao and Song Qingshan, Donghua turned to Wei Chen and asked lightly, "Are you alright?"
"If you hadn't come, there might have been trouble," Wei Chen replied, showing little respect for Donghua, as if greeting an old friend.
Upon seeing Donghua, Song Xiao's expression changed drastically. He took a few terrified steps back, staring at Donghua as if he had seen a ghost. "You really are still in Cloud Spirit Sect?"
"The Sui Kingdom is vast; there is no place I cannot go. I can visit your Jinhua Mansion and the Song Family whenever I please," Donghua said with an utterly calm tone. However, Song Xiao was drenched in cold sweat; he felt the weight of the threat and realized he had no grounds to refute it!
Some disciples of the Alchemy Path were aware of the historical context and scattered in fear upon Donghua's arrival, retreating a hundred meters away while cautiously watching Wei Chen and the others.
They wondered where Wei Chen found his confidence; it turned out he was so familiar with Donghua!
Having Donghua Master as backup gave him more assurance than having Sect Leader Dong Hua himself!
"I can only help you hold this person off; your grudge is yours to settle," Donghua said as he glanced at Wei Chen. He raised his hand lightly, and a gust of wind appeared by Song Xiao's ear.
Smack!
The sound of a clear slap echoed as it struck Song Xiao's face. He was sent flying several dozen meters away, landing on the ground in a disheveled heap.
Donghua's strength was simply overwhelming!
Song Qingshan turned back in disbelief to look at his uncle, Song Xiao, but left Wei Chen an opening! He shot out like a leopard, his fierce fist crashing into Song Qingshan's cheek with a loud crack, shattering the bones in his face!
"How you tormented me before, I’ll return it all to you today!"
Wei Chen struck again, stomping down on Song Qingshan's knee. Song Qingshan let out a furious roar, but none of the disciples from Alchemy Path dared to intervene; instead, they retreated even further!
"Bastard, stop!"
Dozens of figures rushed over, all for one person—Song Qingshan's grandfather, Song He! Several elders from Alchemy Path were also present, all gathered together!
"Donghua, long time no see!"
Another sarcastic voice rang out. Wei Chen looked up to see three powerful figures flying in the air. One of them was short and stocky, barely half the height of an average person, resembling a dwarf. Yet their presence was formidable as they hovered above him and Donghua, causing Wei Chen's heart to race.
"Paralyze? Where did these people come from?"
Those who could fly must be Fifth Rank Spirit Realm experts! Their aura was even stronger than that of the sect leader, Dong Hua!
Seeing those individuals, even Donghua's expression darkened. He glanced at Wei Chen and after a moment of silence shook his head and said, "There are too many of them; I can't hold them off! This person can be dealt with another day."
At that moment, Wei Chen and Donghua found themselves surrounded. Beneath Wei Chen’s feet, Song Qingshan lay in a pool of blood and flesh, laughing through the pain as he taunted, "Bastard, you won’t get the chance to kill me!"
