623: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Arrival_2 623: Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Arrival_2 Xu Yuan gently stroked Tianyan’s soft black hair, smiling softly as he said,
“Don’t worry, didn’t we succeed…ss!
Why are you pinching ?”
Tianyan’s grasp on the flesh of his waist showed no rcy as she bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentnt as she stared at him:
“Xu Yuan, why do you always make decisions on your own?!
It was the sa at Jiuyan City, the sa at Huaiming Cliff, and now you’re still doing it!”
Xu Yuan’s expression twisted in pain:
“Ouch…
it hurts, let go first, wait…
no, at least listen to my explanation first.”
Seeing the painful expression on this jerk’s face, Tianyan felt a surge of satisfaction, and a smug smile crept onto her lips as she twisted the flesh on his waist a full three hundred and sixty degrees:
“Fine, I’ll let go after you finish explaining.”
“Ss…
Tianyan, you motherfu…
cough, alright, here’s the thing…”
“….”
“….”
In the white frost forest covered with freezing chill, only Xu Yuan’s intermittent explanations could be heard for a while.
After laying out the whole story, the ti it took to drink a cup of tea had already passed.
Xu Yuan’s cheeks had turned red with pain, while Tianyan’s expression remained calm.
This Washboard Saintess did not hold back at all, not only did she use Origin Qi, but it also felt like she had secretly used the Heavenly Word Mantra.
“…then Tang Ruofu went to assassinate that Saintess, it’s roughly like this, can you let go now?”
“Hmph-hah…”
Tianyan humd softly, retracting her hand from his waist.
After pondering for a mont, she suddenly asked:
“So, in the past three days, nothing happened between you and that woman down there?”
“What?”
Xu Yuan rubbed the now bruised flesh on his waist and said annoyedly: “If you want to know, ask her yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Tianyan’s golden pupils glanced down at Xia Qing.
Their eyes t for an instant,
Xia Qing’s seductive gaze was silk-like as she bit her lip and blushed, turning her gaze away.
“…” Xu Yuan.
Hold on, your husband might still be in a life or death situation, and you’re still in the mood to play these tricks?
Muttering internally, Xu Yuan directly retorted loudly:
“Tianyan, if you don’t believe it, just strip this sister naked and check for yourself, since she can’t resist anyway.”
“…” Xia Qing.
“Enough, don’t say too much.”
Tianyan spoke out, sighing, and whispered, “Now that we’ve ford a cooperation, there’s no need to be hard on this sister.”
After hearing the events that had transpired earlier, she had realized what Xu Yuan was planning.
If their plan went smoothly, it could possibly cripple a Jiatiange Saintess and also create a new pair of “Jing He and Yuchu” that would be hunted by Jiatiange, drawing their attention away from them to a certain extent.
If the plan failed, they would simply get rid of Xia Qing, without any risk.
As she spoke, Tianyan glanced at Xu Yuan and said softly:
“Xu Yuan, go take care of the Yin Ghost down there.”
“Why don’t you do it?” Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, still holding a grudge about her earlier pinching.
Seeing his reaction, Tianyan’s eyes twinkled with mirth as she said:
“In the past three days, I’ve encountered seven high-level Yin Ghosts, depleting Origin Qi in my body so much that the Charm Poison is almost unbearable.
If you really want to carry along with Xia Qing as burdens, then I can make a move.”
Hearing her half-joking words, Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed with seriousness.
Compared to cultivators of the sa level, Yin Ghosts were generally weaker, but unlike cultivators, who could only understand the Dao Domain after Mortal Transcendence, Yin Ghosts could inhabit their own Ghost Domain upon reaching the level of a Great Grandmaster.
Therefore, the most troubleso part for cultivators in dealing with high-level Yin Ghosts was not how to slay them, but how to drag their true bodies out of their Ghost Domains.
However, under the ‘little transparency’ feature of Tianyan’s Will-spirit, the true bodies of Yin Ghosts were nowhere to hide.
Even with such an advantage, Tianyan still had to deplete a lot of Origin Qi to confront them.
Those seven Yin Ghosts…
were probably at the Primordial level.
eting a high-level Yin Ghost once on the outskirts of Sword Casting Valley could be considered a coincidence, but having it happen seven tis in a row ant it was inevitable.
Thinking this, Xu Yuan slowly drew the Three-foot Green Blade Sword from his Suru Ring.
By now, he was certain that he and Tianyan were being watched by so presence in the deepest part of Sword Casting Valley because of sothing.
Even,
That presence had been secretly observing them for so ti…
As his thoughts flashed by, Xu Yuan’s figure faded into nothingness, stirring up a gust of wind on the ground.
When he appeared again, he was already in front of the Yin Ghost’s body that had been struck by the “Zhen Yan” Mantra.
To the naked eye, this was a humanoid fog-like creature.
But when scanned with Will-spirit, the creature’s appearance had changed completely, becoming horrifying.
Like its Ghost Domain, this Yin Ghost had long hair and no face, its body covered in Ice Crystals, with skin that was purplish-blue as if frozen solid, and its withered limbs warped and distorted.
Looking at its aura, it wasn’t particularly strong, sowhere between a Grandmaster and Primordial, while Tianyan’s “Zhen Yan” Mantra had clearly debilitated its energy considerably.
It was only when Xu Yuan drew his sword that the Yin Ghost belatedly howled and lunged at him.
The cold air that surged forth and the ink-like sword light slashing through the air converged for a mont, stirring up ripples of cold waves, only to return to calm in the blink of an eye.
This high-level Yin Ghost, akin to a frozen ghost, was effortlessly pinned to the ground by Xu Yuan’s sword through the throat without any resistance.
However, it was odd that even though its neck had been pierced by the Azure Edge Sword, the Yin Ghost still didn’t lose its ability to move.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan frowned slightly, and in the next mont, Xia Qing’s voice, offering a reminder, echoed eerily from a tree trunk in mid-air:
