Chapter 412: 226, old acquaintances gather_2
And yet, before this, she had been nothing more than a demon beast that could at most break through to the Core Formation stage.
Even if he had given her a spirit fruit before they parted, it couldn’t possibly have allowed her to leap from Foundation Establishment all the way to Nascent Soul, could it?
At this moment, the young girl’s tail swung gently, her nose twitched lightly, and her eyes, as clear and crystal-like as melted snow, blinked as if searching for something.
Feeling his gaze, Xue Lin turned her head like a lone wolf provoked but, upon seeing his disguised appearance, she furrowed her brow in confusion and then bared her sharp fangs at him.
“Miss Xue Lin, is something wrong?”
By her side, a man with a mane as unkempt as wild grass and azure blue eyes sensed her stir and spoke.
“It’s nothing.”
Xue Lin turned slightly away, avoiding his reaching hand, and said coldly, “Why are you following me?”
“I am concerned about you.”
The man said solemnly, “Speaking of which, what do you think about what I mentioned earlier? Now that you’re the only survivor of the Snow Wolf Clan, a marriage alliance with our Jade Lion Clan is undoubtedly the best choice. It’s not only able to…”
“Get lost!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Lin interrupted impatiently, “I’ve already said that I have a partner.”
“I know, you’ve mentioned that you came here in search of your partner.”
The Jade Lion King licked his lips, a shadow flickered in his eyes, and he chuckled, “But what if he’s already dead?”
Xue Lin responded only with an icy glance.
“Someone made a move.”
An Yulan suddenly spoke.
As her words had just fallen, within the distant ranks of the demon race, a brawny man cradling his Saint Heir candidate under his arm burst forth powerfully like an arrow released from its bow.
Feeling his intrusion, runes on the ground writhed like living things, flying up to form layer upon layer of a net, blocking his path.
A look of disdain flashed in the man’s eyes.
A mighty aura of Primordial Spirit realm emanated from him, sweeping out like a storm.
He threw several punches, striking the arrow-like runes shooting towards him.
Pupu pupu!
Under the might of his fists, the spirit talismans had virtually no room to resist and were scattered.
The towering man broke through the net like a blade slicing through a spider’s web, and before long, he vanished from everyone’s sight into the depths of the alley.
With his action, the remaining people on the scene also began to move.
“How is it? Any traps?”
Xu Yuan looked at the others.
They all shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t spotted anything amiss.
“It seems that this challenge might really not have any tricks.”
Xu Yuan mused.
“It could be deeper inside.”
Mo Xianxian shook her head slightly, suggesting he was speaking too soon.
Based on her understanding of those three Return to Void Great Divine Communicators, if they were really that complacent, they wouldn’t have set up this new challenge at the last minute.
“Let’s just proceed step by step.”
An Yulan said quietly, “Let’s take turns leading the way, starting with you, Mu Yi.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The black-clad woman who hadn’t spoken at all nodded, closed her eyes to sense briefly, then shook her head at them, indicating that here they could not rely on the proud control over the Power of Heaven and Earth of the Primordial Spirit realm.
“Just pick any direction.” Tian Liuli said indifferently.
Being too far away, she couldn’t discern any oddities in the Formation inside the White Jade Capital.
After seeing everyone nod in agreement, she drew her sword lightly, chose a path at random, and charged in.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to choose a path already opened up by predecessors; rather, it made no difference which way they went – even if they had broken the arrangements inside, the Formation’s patterns would circulate and quickly return to normal after just a few breaths.
After the group entered the Formation, the rest exchanged glances before turning into streaks of light and diving in.
Soon, the entrance to the White Jade Capital returned to silence.
In the quiet depths, a voice arose as if a shadow under the eaves, whispering silently.
“They’ve all gone in, huh.”
“Yes, the prey have all entered.”
Another eerie voice followed suit.
“Humans and Demon Beasts might rack their brains out but never guess that what we’re doing isn’t about choosing a side to ally with. It’s about finding a suitable body for the adult, isn’t it?”
“Exactly, what bloody business do we have with the Human or Demon Beast clans! Spit on them, do they think they have the power to make us surrender?”
“Ally! Ha, what we truly want has always been independence! To become the true third major force beyond the humans and Demon Beasts, kekeke!”
“Once the adult fully recovers, perhaps unifying the entire continent won’t be much of a problem. Indeed, with the adult’s cultivation at the Immortal Realm, even if hidden Mahayana Realm experts lurk among the humans and Demon Beasts, we have nothing to fear.”
The three voices suddenly quieted down.
“Adult, have you found a target to your liking?”
“Adult?”
“I’ve seen several, their bodies are quite suitable for me, but… there are a few among them, I find I cannot see through them!”
A voice hesitated to speak.
A phantom silhouette slowly emerged from beneath the ground of the White Jade Capital.
And from beginning to end, neither the Nascent Soul True Persons nor anyone else seemed to notice his presence.
“Cannot see through?”
The three voices spoke in unison, “Aren’t you an Immortal from the Heaven Realm? How can you not see through them?”
“I don’t know either, I just feel that they have a strong allure to me. If I could possess their bodies, I might not only return to the Immortal Realm, but even making another breakthrough is not impossible!”
His voice betrayed an extreme fervor, a fervor worth sacrificing everything for.
“But I dare not.”
His voice suddenly wilted once again.
“If I fail, not only will I be utterly destroyed, but my soul will be annihilated, forever ending the possibility of reincarnation.”
“Whom is the adult referring to?”
The voices of the three Great Divine Communicators of the Return to Void turned somber.
“Them.”
He stretched out his hand, drawing the visages of two individuals with Spiritual Power.
And those two, were none other than Lin Qingque and Mo Xianxian.
“Mo Xianxian, it’s that girl?”
“Detestable! I thought she was a rare direct lineage talent of our Demon Sect, but to think, for an outsider, she killed another candidate for Saint Heir…”
“It seems she indeed harbors secrets!”
The three voices had different reactions.
The ghostly Spiritual Body looked at the images of the two women, their eyes filled with a desperate yet unattainable obsession.
He had a premonition that possessing them would lead to a true transformation in his path.
But he dared not.
“These two possess great secrets; definitely not suitable candidates.”
Hidden in the shadows, the three Great Ancestors of the Demon Sect spoke, “But what if we were to possess that man with them?”
As soon as these words were spoken, they caught the attention of the shadowy spirit.
“What do you mean?”
“Exactly! As far as I know, Mo Xianxian attacked Yun Ze all of a sudden because of him!”
“Looking at the other little girl’s eyes, it’s clear she’s also infatuated with him.”
“Tsk tsk, another girl seems to be enamored with him as well. The lad’s got quite the romantic luck, a pity his cultivation is just a bit low, only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.”
“No matter, once I take over his body and use the Power of Heaven and Earth to gather Spiritual Power and forcibly infuse it, raising it to the Immortal Realm shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“Shall I do it now? Separate them?”
“No, let’s wait a bit longer.”
The shadowy soul shook its head, saying, “Let’s wait until the third trial is over, when his consciousness returns to his body. That’s when he’ll be most vulnerable, the perfect time to act.”
“But beforehand, we can isolate him to assess his talent and strength.”
“Understood, adult, please wait a moment.”
