"Good!"
The false Ni Chang’s command, Lin Fan indeed did not defy in the slightest.
He stepped forward and crossed the threshold, walking toward the golden dragon.
"Hand Palm Thunder!"
Luckily, Zhao Jiaqi was well-prepared.
The Hand Palm Thunder from her right hand was slapped directly onto Lin Fan’s head.
As the golden handprint sank into his head,
Lin Fan didn’t even groan before collapsing to the ground.
"Are you crazy, what are you doing!"
This scene took the false Ni Chang completely by surprise.
She had never expected Zhao Jiaqi to attack Lin Fan,
let alone to use her strongest move right off the bat.
"What am I doing? You and the fake really think others can’t see through you, huh!"
Zhao Jiaqi, who couldn’t hold back any longer, glared at the false Ni Chang, "The Ni Chang I know is definitely not so dissolute, nor does she deign to court favor by using her body with anyone. Don’t think that just because you’ve fooled Lin Fan, you can do whatever you want. Where have you hidden Ni Chang?"
"I always thought you didn’t have much of a brain, but now it seems you do have so. Is my acting really that bad?"
The false Ni Chang stopped pretending.
She looked at Zhao Jiaqi with a smile on her face.
"Because you’re too despicable. Hand over Ni Chang imdiately, or forget about getting the dragon bone!"
Zhao Jiaqi clenched her fists; now that Lin Fan was unconscious,
everything had to be controlled by her.
"Do you think you can stop ?"
The face of the false Ni Chang beca instantly cold and grim.
"Don’t try to scare . You fear the power of this golden dragon and dare not co near it, which is why even though you’ve known the location of the temple for a thousand years, you’ve desperately lacked soone who could enter. If you’re so capable, co in and take it."
Zhao Jiaqi retreated into the temple.
The deterrence emitted by the golden dragon above made it difficult for her to move even an inch.
"It turns out, I really underestimated you. I thought once I dealt with this guy, you’d be easy prey, but now it seems I have indeed underestimated you. But do you really think that hiding in here, everything will be alright for you? Actually, you’ve made a fatal mistake, which is that you shouldn’t have knocked him out, because you alone definitely can’t stop my actions."
With a smile, the false Ni Chang snapped her fingers, "Right, you wanted to see Ni Chang, right? Here she cos!"
Zhao Jiaqi was taken aback by her words.
Because at that mont, on the steps below the temple, indeed, soone was approaching.
However, it wasn’t soone else, it was actually ng Die.
But now the inherently alluring figure walked without a trace of charm,
the hanging head was lifeless.
"You think I’m blind, don’t you?"
Zhao Jiaqi tightened her brows as ng Die suddenly appeared.
"Jiaqi, I am Ni Chang."
ng Die spoke faintly, her voice crisp and pleasant, but unfamiliar.
"Mr. ng, if you’re going to impersonate my best friend next ti, you better make sure to look exactly like her to fool anyone."
Zhao Jiaqi said coldly.
This obvious difference, she was no fool.
"I was switched by the original Goddess’s soul transfer technique..."
ng Die sighed,
looking mournfully at the person occupying her own body.
"Original Goddess? What is that? Don’t think you can fool anyone with such far-fetched lies."
Zhao Jiaqi, gripping the Soft Sword, watched the two with caution.
Just then, the fake Ni Chang, who had been standing there, suddenly went limp.
She collapsed on the ground.
As for ng Die on this side, she stumbled a bit.
But imdiately afterward, she revealed that soul-ensnaring, bone-corroding smile.
Touching her own cheek, her laughter grew even heartier.
"Still, nothing is as comfortable as one’s own body."
In that mont, with her seductive natural charm, Zhao Jiaqi could confirm.
The person before her was indeed ng Die.
Which ant that Ni Chang, lying on the ground, had also reverted to her true self.
"You... who in the world are you?"
"Didn’t she tell you? I am the founder Goddess of the Celestial Cave. It was I who built the Celestial Cave, set its rules, and passed down my Cultivation Techniques to descendents. She is rely my thirty-sixth successor," the original ng Die said.
ng Die’s words caused Zhao Jiaqi’s eyes to widen in astonishnt.
At that mont, Ni Chang, who lay on the ground, had also co to.
"Ancestral Master... why have you done this?"
Ni Chang, lying on the ground, looked up at ng Die with bewildernt.
She had never imagined that she would encounter the Ancestral Master from a thousand years ago right here.
"Why? What do you think? Of course, it is for immortality, for eternal existence, to live as long as the heavens," ng Die laughed unrestrainedly. "A thousand years ago, I was defeated by my enemies and had to hide in the Celestial Cave. After two hundred years, knowing that my life was coming to an end, I passed on all my skills to my disciple. As my lifespan was nearing its limit, I drifted here by boat, and only then did I discover the so-called Longevity Realm. I ca to understand that one could cultivate to immortality in this world, that humans could live as long as the heavens, could beco immortals, saints. Yet, the City Lords here adhere to the principle of not interacting with the outside world, preferring to live in seclusion. What’s the use of such longevity!"
"Though they saved , they wouldn’t allow to step out of this place. I had lived in the Celestial Cave for two hundred years. I didn’t want to just survive like this anymore, but the previous City Lord had reached the Heavenly Human Realm; there was no way I could change anything. Fortunately, the heavens do not fail those with hearts. After much searching, I finally found a Secret Technique to refine into a Taiyin Body and, while he was unguarded, I drained him dry. I thought I could then leave this place and let the whole world know my might, but his damned daughter sacrificed herself to cast the Moon-in-Mirror environnt, turning the whole ng Loulan into Golden City. I could only awaken for five days each year, a fate worse than death!"
ng Die’s figure transford into that of a creature with the head of a human and the body of a snake as she spoke these words.
This was the formidable power of the Taiyin Body.
"You’ve fallen into sorcery!"
Watching ng Die transform, Zhao Jiaqi couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
The Taiyin Body, one of the four great evils, is a suprely yin and cold sorcery.
If she were to leave this place,
the calamities that would befall the world could be a hundred tis more tragic than the Jiazi Project.
"As long as I am powerful enough, then I am a God. Ni Chang, quickly remove the dragon bone, let the ancestor show you the true joy of the human world!"
The seductive smile on ng Die had turned hideous.
Waving her arms, she truly resembled a devil from hell.
Ni Chang pursed her lips, her gaze resolute as she looked at ng Die.
"I rember the first rule of the Saintess Precepts, which is to guard the Celestial Cave for eternity, never to disturb the rules of the outside world, and as the founding Goddess, you must not leave the underground in this lifeti!"
"I am your ancestor. The rules were made by and therefore can be changed by as well. Now, I say to you again, take down the dragon bone for !"
ng Die had not expected that Ni Chang would invoke the teachings of the Celestial Cave’s Goddess.
These were the very rules she had established.
"I refuse!"
Ni Chang stood there, her tone unwavering as she spoke.
"How dare you defy your ancestor... you’re truly courting death... I’ll give you one more chance, what did you say?"
ng Die glared at Ni Chang with a ferocious gaze.
It felt as if she could tear her to pieces in an instant.
Yet, Ni Chang stood there, still with head held high.
Her gaze was determined as she stared back at her opponent.
"I... refuse!"
