Chapter 123: Li Longling is very scared
Within Feng Yudie’s soul realm, Wu Yue, situated at the center of Jinghu Lake, gazed at the panoramic view of sky and water, wearing a bewildered expression.
Having cultivated for numerous years and taken possession of over a hundred individuals, ranging from elders of immortal sects to renowned demonic cultivators, none possessed a soul as pristine as this.
The soul state was naturally formed. The soul realm should be a sea of flames for a fiery-tempered fire-element cultivator. Similarly, for a composed cultivator, it should resemble a majestic landscape.
And so on…
But what was happening in this mirror lake now?
Was the mind of that silver-haired girl as immaculate as it seemed?
Moreover, she recalled attaching a corpse soul to the silver-haired girl before, yet there was no trace of that corpse soul in the soul realm.
“Is this… the girl’s soul realm?”
For a moment, Wu Yue questioned if she had chosen the wrong place. However, she didn’t dwell on it too much. She intended to locate the position of the spiritual root to seize the silver-haired girl. By possessing this girl, she could make the two foundation-building cultivators experience the taste of being betrayed by a fellow cultivator.
Little did she know, a small figure the size of a palm stood beside her, glaring at her with fury.
Accompanying her, Xiao Tian floated above Wu Yue, arms crossed and eyes fixed upon her.
“Lao Jiu!!! A guest is coming!!”
After a sweet voice, a golden light emanated from her chest, transforming into a golden dragon.
Snap–
The dragon’s tail swiftly flicked, knocking Wu Yue out of the air.
“Cough—What?!!”
Pinned beneath the dragon’s tail, Wu Yue struggled to raise her head, only to be met with a gaping bloody mouth.
“A dragon?! Is this girl… related to the Holy Emperor…”
Before she could finish her words, the golden dragon swallowed her whole, chewed, and then swallowed her.
“Hiccup~~~.” The dragon burped, glanced at Xiao Tian, and asked coldly, “Why have so many strange things come in these two days?”
“Demon Cultivator, it’s none of your business.”
“Roar—”
The dragon exhaled forcefully, like a collapsing mountain. Its form dissipated into a halo and returned to Xiao Tian’s chest.
Observing the calm surface of Jinghu Lake, Xiao Tian smirked, swiftly descended and began cleaning up the residual malevolent energy left by Wu Yue
…
Lake water sparkled, and Ye Anping stood at the lake’s edge, looking up at the five columns of light. He raised his hand, fingers forming a sword, and concentrated.
“Retract!”
In an instant, the formation flags he had placed around him soared from the ground, flew in five directions, and landed next to him. Pei Lianxue was meditating next to her at the moment. After all, Wu Yue had invaded the soul realm, and she needed to rest.
As for Feng Yudie and Li Longling, they were still unconscious, so Ye Anping put them on the soft grass and let them lie down to rest. At this time, a black-clad sword came and landed next to him.
Liang Zhu watched from a distance as Ye Anping started to clean up, then he also dispersed the prepared spells, and Yu Jian rushed over.
“Lao Liu, is it over?”
“It was a little more complicated originally, thanks to that girl,” Ye Anping pointed to Feng Yudie lying on the ground beside him, “Without her, that demon cultivator could have lived for at least a quarter of an hour.”
Liang Zhu frowned and looked at Feng Yudie, feeling a little tired for no reason. He had made preparations for Ye Anping to be killed by mistake, and then he went back and took Liang Ahting to run away, but he didn’t expect…
A demonic cultivator in the core formation stage just disappeared?!
“Forget it, I’m going back.”
“Um.”
Ye Anping shrugged slightly and watched Liang Zhu leave. Then, he quickly walked to the ruins of the pavilion and dug out Wu Yue’s original body with his bare hands. When he saw the miserable state of her body, Ye Anping couldn’t help but feel a little upset and secretly praised Feng Yudie’s “really hurting” sword technique, which was really powerful.
Li Longling, lying on the lawn, seemed to wake up. She stood up from the ground in a daze and turned her head left and right as if she remembered what had just happened, with a look of horror on her face.
“Wu Yue?! Senior Sister Feng?!”
Li Longling’s hands were groping around, but she could only feel that she was on a lawn. Everything else was unknown to her.
The unknown meant fear.
“Ah… Wu Yue!!! Senior Sister Feng?! Where are you?… What just happened!!”
Li Longling shouted in panic, suddenly remembering something. She quickly touched her storage bag and took out a token from it. Seeing the token in her hand, Ye Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, came to her instantly, and snatched the token away.
“Ah?!”
Ye Anping looked at the token he had snatched. As expected, she intended to signal Chilong Mansion. He placed the token into her storage bag and calmly said, “Young Master Li, I just fed you the Soul-Destroying Grass. I recommend that you gather your energy and meditate first.”
Upon hearing Ye Anping’s words, Li Longling, with a horrified expression, turned towards him and instinctively moved her buttocks back.
“You… aren’t you Senior Sister Feng’s junior brother? What do you want to do?!”
“…”
“Wu Yue! Senior Sister Feng!!”
“Wu Yue is dead. Senior Sister Feng is lying two feet away from your right hand. She is still sleeping.”
“What?”
Li Longling couldn’t believe it, and in a panic, she reached out to touch Feng Yudie. However, inattentively, she slapped Feng Yudie’s face.
Snap—
“Ah?” Li Longling quickly withdrew her hand, “I’m sorry… Senior Sister Feng, I didn’t mean it.”
“…”
Ye Anping sighed silently. He had initially intended to explain to Li Longling, but there was no way to have a conversation given her current stressed state. After some contemplation, he walked back to Pei Lianxue, meditating and concentrating, and pulled her before Li Longling. Leaning close to Pei Lianxue’s ear, he whispered a few words.
“…”
Pei Lianxue nodded, approached, crouched before Li Longling, and spoke softly, “Young Master Li, don’t be afraid.”
“…”
Upon hearing Pei Lianxue’s soothing voice, Li Longling’s reaction was not as intense as when she spoke with Ye Anping. The voice seemed calming, and after a moment of silence, she finally calmed down.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Pei Lianxue. The person named Wu Yue is a demon cultivator, and we have killed her.”
Li Longling was shocked, her eyebrows lightly furrowed. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Miss Pei, you said… Wu Yue is a demon cultivator?”
“Yes, she just tried to possess us.”
“…”
Li Longling was about to continue questioning when Ye Anping said, “Young Master Li when Senior Sister Feng wakes up later, she will take you to Chilong Mansion. If you want to know what is happening, ask the person you trust the most.”
Li Longling furrowed her brows and faced him, “What do you mean?”
Ye Anping smiled faintly and said, “You have only crossed paths with us. For you, who is blind, trust is a scarce commodity. I don’t expect you to believe me, so it’s better for the person you trust to tell you the truth. That’s what I mean.”
