I Have an Omen System-Chapter 85 - 83: Beautiful Woman in a Palace Gown

"By my Dao Heart, I suppress this evil thunder."

"Purple Mansion, open—!"

Xuanzhen Ascendant roared furiously.

A celestial anomaly appeared. Several bolts of lightning roared like wild dragons, converging right above him.

Yet he seemed utterly unfazed.

The illusory image of his Purple Mansion, which had been on the verge of collapsing, solidified once more.

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but scoff. ’You old bastard, you think you’re opening your Purple Mansion by relying on your Dao Heart?’

’It’s all thanks to the Qi Cultivation Disciples.’

On the plaza before the sect’s main gate, vast swathes of Qi Cultivation Disciples were collapsing, vomiting blood. Then, a middle-aged Daoist would roar at them, forcing them back to their feet.

They were forced to swallow Pills and continue channeling their power.

Yet these two Foundation Establishment Daoists refused to enter the Array and contribute their own strength.

Wei Qingyi spotted an opportunity, his eyes lighting up. "Junior Brother Qin, let’s go!"

Like a phantom, Wei Qingyi concealed both his and Qin Xuan’s figures, drifting silently to the back of the grand Array. SWISH! SWISH! Two flashes of his sword.

In an instant, he stabbed to death two Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Daoists who were covered in blood.

"Ngh—!"

The two Daoists’ pupils constricted before they could even realize what was happening.

Their vital energy and blood withered away, and in a flash, they were reduced to a pile of dry bones.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Qingyi had Qin Xuan replace the two Daoists. Soul Search, transfer, transformation... it was all done in one smooth motion.

Even their clothes and appearances were changed.

The Daoists in front only felt as if a light breeze had passed by, completely unaware that the junior brothers behind them had been replaced.

’Senior Brother Wei is so strong. He’s definitely no ordinary Third-Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator.’

Qin Xuan was utterly stunned.

Wei Qingyi’s speed was incredible—so fast that not even the two Foundation Establishment Fifth Level Cultivators leading the formation noticed!

To be honest with himself, if he had been the one to act, he might have been able to fool the Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

But the lingering aura would have never escaped the notice of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present.

’It must be the power of the Blood Talisman.’

Qin Xuan saw the Silver-White Long Sword hidden in Wei Qingyi’s sleeve, a faint green light flowing across it, and pondered inwardly.

Meanwhile, Wei Qingyi was already whispering conspiratorially with another extremely weak-looking Daoist in front of them.

The sight made Qin Xuan’s heart pound with anxiety.

’We’re right under the noses of three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, man!’

Yet, Wei Qingyi acted so familiar that anyone who didn’t know better would think he had really spent years cultivating at Taiyi True View.

At that moment, the young Daoist in front of Qin Xuan, his face ashen and trickles of blood at the corners of his mouth, suddenly turned his head.

"Junior Brother Li, why are you actually transferring True Essence into my body!"

"Huh?" Qin Xuan was startled, thinking that the True Essence converted from his Demonic Essence had been exposed.

Just now, when Wei Qingyi had switched them out, he had performed a Soul Search.

At this moment, Qin Xuan was disguised as a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Daoist named Li Chang, and in front of him was Senior Brother Wang Qiu, a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer disciple from Taiyi True View.

"Senior Brother Wang, aren’t we helping the Observatory Master with his Tribulation Crossing and contributing our strength?"

Wang Qiu said, "Are you stupid? It’s not you or me opening a Purple Mansion. They’re only giving out three low-grade spirit stones in total, and even those were pocketed by Elder Zhang and Elder Fang. Why are you working yourself to death?"

"They pretend to hand out Spirit Stones, so we just pretend to channel our power."

Qin Xuan was so shocked all he could do was marvel at the audacity.

’Alright, alright, alright!’

’So everyone’s just going through the motions.’

At first, he’d been worried that the True Essence he converted from his Demonic Essence couldn’t be concealed for long. Now, it seemed he had nothing to worry about at all!

...

As time passed, Xuanzhen Ascendant’s illusory Purple Mansion became more and more solid.

The spectating Taiyi True View disciples below all held their breath, their expressions excited.

"Our Sect is about to have a Purple Mansion Ancestor!"

Especially Senior Brother Wang Qiu in front of Qin Xuan.

Although he wasn’t contributing any effort, he shouted the loudest, as if he couldn’t wait to raise his arms and cheer.

"The Observatory Master is mighty!"

But Qin Xuan felt that something was wrong.

It was as if a faint, almost imperceptible poisonous mist was spreading through the Array.

The toxicity was extremely potent and its range extremely wide, yet it was colorless, odorless, formless, and shadowless—even stronger than the Soul-Devouring Poison from last time!

If not for Qin Xuan possessing Three Daoist Rank Divine Techniques, one of which was the Supreme Yang [Flame Demon], he would have never discovered it.

’It must be Senior Brother Wei’s Positional Divine Techniques taking effect.’

Qin Xuan turned his head to look at Wei Qingyi at his side, a questioning look in his eyes.

The other man grinned.

Qin Xuan understood at once.

’It really is Senior Brother Wei, that sly old fox!’

’Terrifying. I must never get on this guy’s bad side. He’s so treacherous... absolutely diabolical.’

Pity the two Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment Daoists from Taiyi True View at the very front; they were completely oblivious to the fact that they’d been lethally poisoned.

They were still ruthlessly exploiting the Qi Cultivation Disciples.

...

The thunder rolled, like the fury of the heavens.

Just as Xuanzhen Ascendant was about to overcome the heavenly tribulation, a phantom Purple Mansion flickering into view...

At this very moment, a sword light shone brilliantly.

A graceful figure in purple suddenly appeared in a lull in the raging thunder, launching a surprise attack on the tribulating Xuanzhen Ascendant.

"Old dog Xuanzhen, if you want to break through, first ask the four hundred fifty-six disciples of my Danxia Sect who died by your hand if they agree."

The beautiful woman in palace attire shrieked, "Old dog Xuanzhen, time to die!"

The drums of war had not yet sounded, but the will to fight was already ablaze.

This was a beautiful woman dressed in a violet palace gown.

Her face was stern, her temperament cold and stunning. She held a radiant Purple Sky Longsword, its blade wreathed in roaring purple flames, its presence awe-inspiring.

A sharp Sword Qi, like a rainbow piercing the sun and laced with endless purple flames, stabbed straight toward Xuanzhen Ascendant’s chest.

Xuanzhen Ascendant was currently at the critical moment of his breakthrough, his aura weak, all his attention focused on dealing with the Thunder Tribulation.

He should have been horrified.

However, Xuanzhen Ascendant was not flustered at all. Seemingly long prepared, he laughed heartily.

"Jiang Chixia, I knew you, you bitch, weren’t dead yet."

"Did you really think I would attempt to open my Purple Mansion without any preparations?"

Xuanzhen Ascendant shouted sharply, "Junior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Fang, Array Formation!"

The woman’s expression changed drastically. She flipped her Purple Sky Longsword and shot backward in retreat.

"As you command!"

"All disciples, on my command! Activate the Array!"

The Foundation Establishment Fifth Level Taiyi True View Daoist, Zhang Jun, bellowed and fiercely activated his True Essence.

At this moment, an indescribable, intense pain and icy coldness originating from the very source of his soul suddenly swept through his body.

"???"

Zhang Jun was horrified and looked down.

He discovered that his incredibly tough Foundation Establishment Flesh Body, tempered by lightning, was inexplicably starting to rot and stink.

Large patches of bizarre, dark green spots rapidly appeared on his skin.

The Divine Soul Little Man in his Spirit Platform Sea of Consciousness was also being frantically eroded by a viscous, foul, dark green poisonous fog!

"Damn it, you poisonous woman, you actually used poison!"

Zhang Jun let out a wail, and his Foundation Establishment Fifth Level aura instantly withered. He had clearly lost all power to fight.

It wasn’t just Zhang Jun; the other Foundation Establishment Fifth Level Taiyi True View Daoist, Fang Hai, was in the same state.

However, he had an Earth Dao Foundation Establishment, so his condition was slightly better than Zhang Jun’s.

He roared, "All disciples, hear my command, protect the Observatory Master!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Fang Hai turned his head and was shocked to find that the hundreds of Taiyi True View disciples had all collapsed limply on the ground.

Purplish-black blood trickled from their seven orifices, their life or death unknown.

"No—!"

Fang Hai’s eyes widened in fury, nearly splitting at the corners.
