Xu Yi sent his perception out with all his might, as if he were sending a pair of eyes over there. The battle unfolding in that place opened up in his mind like a scroll painting.
Only seven people remained at the heart of the battle. Three were clearly Spirit Nurturing Experts, one was a Demon Race Great Master, and the other three were actually Lightning Tribulation Experts. Liu Ziyi was among them.
Seeing Liu Ziyi fight the three Spirit Nurturing Experts to a standstill, Xu Yi understood that this kind of Spirit Nurturing was not the same as the other kind.
The difference did not lie in the spirit being nurtured, but in the person nurturing it.
He was carefully studying the subtlety of their attacks when a golden light suddenly burst forth. The strongest Demon Race expert among the seven was split in two by that golden light, his soul scattered and his spirit extinguished.
The entire scene was shaken. Xu Yi, watching from the sidelines, was even more shocked. He clearly recognized what had unleashed that golden light: a Purple Gourd.
That Purple Gourd was one of the seven that the major sects had taken from him when he was at the Northern Sacred Court.
Back then, the Northern Sacred Court's experts had ascended to this realm, bringing all their treasures with them—including these Spirit Gourds, naturally.
During the Ascension War, the sects and powers that possessed Spirit Gourds had all managed to disappear without a trace. The Sacred Clan was a prime example.
Later, Xu Yi had guessed that the Spirit Gourds were probably the reason, but he had never thought much about it.
Later still, Xu Yi had killed the Third Holy Son, but had not had time to ask about the Sacred Clan's whereabouts.
