Chapter 366: 203, Seclusion Preparation_2
If that’s the case, then it just got interesting, didn’t it?
Was it a past life? Or like Tao Yaoyao back then, was it through dreams that a connection was established?
For a moment, a flurry of emotions surged in Tian Liuli’s heart.
Just as Tian Liuli could sense through the pulse of his wrist whether he was lying, Xu Yuan could also detect the changes in Tian Liuli’s emotions through it.
Unfortunately, since he had never learned the Mind Reading Technique, he could only guess her thoughts from the subtle expressions on her face.
He could feel that her emotions were very complex right now.
“This is outrageous!”
A roar snapped the two out of their trance.
The young man who had been boasting and claimed to be the Saint Heir of the Demon Sect clenched one hand, and a long spear engulfed in fierce flames materialized.
Xu Yuan’s expression turned solemn.
It wasn’t that he was worried Tian Liuli couldn’t defeat the opponent, but that he feared Tian Liuli might strike too hard.
Offending the Demon Sect was different from deeply offending the Demon Sect.
In the Black Horn Domain, challenging the Demon Sect and killing a Saint Heir of the Demon Sect before leaving were two completely different things.
Unfortunately, the more he worried about what might happen, the more sudden it occurred.
Tian Liuli faced the proud wielder of the Godfire Spirit Spear, one hand still firmly clutching Xu Yuan’s hand, while the other slowly formed a Hand Seal and her voice was clear and melodious.
“Nine Heavens Fiend, Divine Fire Fiend.”
In Xu Yuan’s slightly raised eyebrow gaze, amidst heaven and earth, the roaming Fire Spiritual Power was summoned by a tremendous will and transformed into a Fire Phoenix with lofty wings. Then, molten gold wings forged by flowing fire ferociously slashed down!
The Demon Sect Disciple swept his spear horizontally.
Yet almost at the moment of contact, his entire body suddenly stiffened, and he was sent flying backward like a meteor, crashing through several houses. The blood spewed from his mouth sprinkled the ground like falling snow.
But it didn’t end there; the Divine Bird let out a high-pitched cry, soaring into the sky and then diving down from the high altitude.
Even before it drew close, the relentless heat it emitted already steamed the ground, causing large wrinkles and cracks to form.
Despair showed in the young spearman’s eyes.
More than anyone, he was acutely aware of how terrifying that spear could be.
“Please, show mercy!”
Just then, a Protector who had been hidden in the void sighed softly, suddenly materialized from mid-air, and swooped down.
From him emanated the unique aura of a Primordial Spirit cultivator.
Without a doubt, this was a True Person of Primordial Spirit.
It was a move only the Demon Sect could afford, to let a True Person of Primordial Spirit stand by as a replacement for a Saint Heir.
In other righteous Sects of the human clan, those who became True Persons of Primordial Spirit were one in ten million, and within their respective Sects, if not the Sect Master, at least they were an Elder.
Unless they were willing, there was generally no way to force them to do anything.
Yet in the Demon Sect, True Persons of Primordial Spirit were treated like expendable Protectors, easily commanded. In them, Xu Yuan saw no discontent; on the contrary, they still appeared quite cheerful.
After that Protector emerged, he waved his hand and blocked the proud flying Fire Phoenix with his dark blood eyes, reddened by the burning sun.
In the Black Horn Domain, to prevent the human or beast clans’ Return to Void from projecting into the world through the void,
the corporeal integration with heaven and earth was restricted.
Understandably, this True Person Protector could no longer use the spatial Spiritual Power of heaven and earth to strike them.
Just as Xu Yuan thought it was time for her to retreat, Tian Liuli’s lips curled up slightly, and then, looking at the Demon Sect Disciple lying on the ground with a face still showing a narrow escape from death, she said, “Forget it, I won’t trouble you today. My name is Xu Yuan. When you go to sleep in the future, be more vigilant. Otherwise, I fear that one day, your head might accidentally fall into my hands.”
With that, she took Xu Yuan, who was still stunned and bewildered, and soared skyward into the heavens.
Not until their figures slowly vanished into the horizon did the Demon Sect Disciple clench his fists slowly, grinding his teeth, “Damn Xu Yuan, issue a warrant for his arrest!”
Above the Firmament, Xu Yuan thought back to what had just happened, his face still slightly stiff.
After offending someone, she left his name.
It appeared that she really wanted to affirm that he was the Demon Sect’s archenemy.
As for her mastery of Nine Heavens Fiend, Xu Yuan didn’t seem too surprised.
After all, Tian Liuli was once a master of the Immortal Realm; seeing her familiar with the Immortal Skills within the treasury was a quite normal thing.
What he hadn’t expected, however, was that she would actually use it right in front of him.
“After watching the Divine Fire Fiend just now, do you feel an improvement in your understanding of it?”
Tian Liuli spoke calmly, deliberately not mentioning the name she had left behind when she had almost walked away.
“A bit, thank you,” Xu Yuan replied, now realizing she had indeed had that intention as he nodded towards her.
Being one of the top Immortal Skills in the treasury of the Immortal Realm, the complexity of Nine Heavens Fiend was not difficult to imagine.
After many days had passed, he had reached a bottleneck with his progress in Divine Wind Fiend, and so he had turned his attention to other Divine Fiend techniques.
Now, after witnessing Tian Liuli’s recent demonstration, his heart stirred a few more times concerning the Divine Fire Fiend.
“It’s just unfortunate that I only know Divine Fire Fiend,” Tian Liuli said, her expression filled with regret.
Regret…?
Xu Yuan’s expression quirked.
Regret about what?
Was it because he knew Divine Wind Fiend, and she did not?
Or was it because she didn’t know Divine Wind Fiend and therefore couldn’t pose as him, solidifying the mortal enemy relationship between him and the Demon Sect?
By then, even if Mo Xianxian had a liking for him, it would’ve been of no avail.
…
When the two landed on the streets again, the sky had already darkened somewhat.
In the distance, a large city suddenly burst into thousands of sparks as the lights dimmed with the sunset, illuminating the silent city. Thus, the ancient city seemed to come alive and began to exude a mesmerizing aura.
“It’s indeed lively here,” Xu Yuan commented, shifting his gaze from Tian Liuli, who was wearing a veil, and looking up at the ancient city marked with layers of Formations and Sword Intent and Blade Qi.
As one of the few ancient cities in the Black Horn Domain, Xunyang City’s environment was even better than they had imagined.
Streets wide enough to accommodate eight carriages, the circulating Spiritual Power of the protective wall Formations…
And within the city, the number of Cultivators was more than they had seen in any other city.@@novelbin@@
On the street, any passerby could potentially be a successfully cultivated person.
One might say Core Formation was as common as dirt, Nascent Souls as worthless as dogs.
Primordial Spirits, on the other hand, still carried a certain esteem.
Of course, even though Black Horn Domain was a difficult place to reach that required a decent level of cultivation, there were still many common folk around.
“It is very lively indeed,” Tian Liuli said as her cool gaze lingered on the endless green fireworks in the distance resembling a canopy touching the sky, adding in a faint voice, “In the future, if we have time, we should enjoy these more.”
Xu Yuan was taken aback, looking at her with some astonishment before smiling and saying, “Sure.”
The snow-white jade hand that Tian Liuli had on his wrist tightened again, and after paying the corresponding entrance fees, they walked into Xunyang City.
Upon entering, they were startled by the suffocating scent of fireworks.
Unlike Dawn City, the environment inside Xunyang City wasn’t as good as it appeared from the outside; vendors shouted insults across the streets at each other, and Brothel women, seeking more attention, brazenly exposed themselves to attract eyesight.
As they began to untie their skirts to reveal more, Xu Yuan had already shifted his gaze away and said, “Liuli, should we now find a place to settle down?”
“Yes,” Tian Liuli replied unhurriedly, her gaze turning towards a tall building… and then to the small courtyard behind it.
Since they had already decided to live incognito, naturally, she would no longer attract attention to herself.
