Chapter 378: Chapter 374: How could it be you? (5th updated, asking for monthly tickets) Chapter 378: Chapter 374: How could it be you? (5th updated, asking for monthly tickets) Once the binding technique from Feng Shan was broken, the dirt wrapped around Shen Luo imdiately fell off.
Shen Luo, now free, imdiately used the Slanting Moon Steps, creating distance between himself and Yu Xin.
“Who exactly are you?” He raised the Ghost Wailing Ring in his hand, asking vigilantly.
“Daoist friend Shen, I am not your enemy,” Yu Xin breathed a soft sigh, imdiately removing her black veil.
“Do you know ?” Shen Luo’s gaze beca focused as he looked towards her, then frowned.
Other than her clear and captivating eyes, her features were rather ordinary. He had no mory of eting her before.
“Daoist friend Shen, look again; do you recognize now?” Yu Xin smiled a bitter smile as she spoke.
Having said that, in the palm of her hand a red light began to shine, and she started to massage her face.
A mont later, the red light faded, and she slowly put her hand down.
“Xie Yuxin? How is that possible?” Upon seeing her face again, Shen Luo was completely taken aback.
“More importantly, shouldn’t you be thanking Xie at this point?” Xie Yuxin wrinkled her brow slightly as she scolded in a light tone.
Only then did Shen Luo react, promptly cupping his fist in salutation and uttering a word of thanks.
“That’s enough. You saved my life last ti in Hidden Wind Valley, and I saved yours now. We’re even,” Xie Yuxin revealed a small smile as she spoke.
“Was it you who left that note in my room earlier?” Rembering sothing, Shen Luo hurriedly asked.
“Indeed. But clearly, you aren’t a person who takes advice from others. I initially planned to quietly et with you tonight to discuss so matters. Who would have thought that the True Dragon would ddle, revealing its true self, summoning thunder and storm clouds, and waking up the Golden Toad?” Xie Yuxin didn’t deny it, she stated.
“Who exactly are you? Aren’t those people your companions?” Shen Luo felt increasingly puzzled.
“Those three are from the Refining Body Altar, and I only joined them after leaving the Bai family,” Xie Yuxin explained.
“Refining Body Altar? What sect is this? How co I’ve never heard of it?” Shen Luo pondered for a mont before shaking his head.
At Shen Luo’s words, Xie Yuxin hesitated slightly, “Compared to ordinary Cultivation Sects, they aren’t a very reputable sect. My decision to join them was not for the sake of gaining so backing.”
“What was your reason then?” Shen Luo followed up.
“To tell you the truth, I have a senior brother who was victimized by treacherous people long ago. Now, his divine soul is incomplete, his Dantian entirely destroyed. He has just barely been living. The Refining Body Altar claims to have a unique thod that could help a person rebuild their Dantian and open new ridians. Hence, I joined them hoping to et their saint and acquire this thod,” Xie Yuxin turned her gaze aside, took a deep breath, and then explained.
“So, you stole the God-descend Technique from the Bai family to save people?” Shen Luo frowned slightly.
“The God-descend Technique contains a thod that can nourish the divine soul,” Xie Yuxin didn’t deny this.
“I understand. However, if you, despite all the hardships, stepped forward to save now, aren’t you risking everything?” Shen Luo, lost in his thoughts, nodded and asked further.
“No harm done. As long as you leave this place imdiately, I can fix this on my own,” Xie Yuxin said. At the sa ti, her hand radiated a red light, which she used to massage her face.
Monts later, she returned to her previous unremarkable appearance, then bent down and began to massage Feng Shan’s face.
When she stopped her motions and stood up, it was only then that Shen Luo was astounded to find that Feng Shan’s face had dramatically changed to look exactly like his own.
“This…”
“This is a Bone Pinching Disguise Technique. It works on the living because they have blood circulation, and it can last for ten two-hour periods without changing. It doesn’t work on the dead, it can only last a quarter of an hour at most. I need to quickly take him back or it will be useless. Let’s part here, and we’ll et again in the future.” After saying this, Xie Yuxin cupped his fists, hoisted Feng Shan’s body onto his back, and turned to leave.
“I’m really sorry, but I can’t leave.” Shen Luo stood in place, not moving at all.
Daoist friend Shen, although the Jade-eyed Golden Toad is precious, it isn’t worth more than your life. I don’t need to tell you again the aning behind the proverb ‘Don’t worry about not having enough firewood if you still have a green mountain’, right? Tonglao has always claid that he’s an initial-stage Soul-condensing Cultivator, but in reality, he has already reached the mid-stage Soul-condensing Cultivation level. Even if you don’t want to give up, it’s destined to be in vain.” Hearing this, Xie Yuxin halted his steps, turned to look back at him, and tried to persuade him.
“To be honest, I am looking for the Golden Toad in order to prolong my life, so the Golden Toad is indeed as valuable as my life. Also, that True Dragon is nad Ao Hong, who is the Ninth Prince of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. He’s also considered a friend of mine, so I need to save him,” Shen Luo sighed and said.
“He’s the Dragon Palace Crown Prince? Impossible. If he was the Dragon Palace Crown Prince, why wouldn’t he be accompanied by any retainers and be here all by himself?” Xie Yuxin said, surprised.
“About that… I’m also not sure. Regardless of who he is, since he’s my friend, I can’t just stand by and watch him lose his life,” Shen Luo said, not really knowing how to define his relationship with Ao Hong.
Hearing his words, Xie Yuxin remained silent for a long ti without responding.
Elder Brother Xie, I understand that you’re in a difficult situation, so I won’t force you to help. I just hope that you can avoid this trouble,” Shen Luo said, trying to persuade Xie Yuxin after seeing his reaction.
“In terms of saving people, you really need to think it over…..” Xie Yuxin threw Feng Shan’s body at his feet, put his hand on his mouth, and pondered for a mont before speaking.
…
At the bank of Crescent Moon Lake, Tong Guan arrogantly sat on a stone, a rolled-up Black Flag stabbed into the ground in front of him.
With one hand making a seal, he softly chanted a sentence, then waved his hand.
A black light flew from his palm, hovering on the Black Flag. The flag then “flapped” and spread out.
Tong Guan swept his gaze, which landed in the middle of the flag. There, looking as if it was woven and embroidered with golden threads, was a live and vivid Gold True Dragon.
He waved his hand again, the black light on the flag billowed, a black vortex erged around the Golden Dragon, and the dragon’s head seed to poke out from a big, dark hole.
But the black light only brightened for a mont, the black vortex also only allowed one dragon head to co out, then it froze again.
The light around the dragon’s head faded and it transford back into a human shape.
“Elder, what do you need , the Junior, to do for you to set free?” Ao Hong asked.
Seeing this, Tong Guan’s eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, and he said, “In this kind of situation, shouldn’t you be panicking and begging for rcy? Can you still talk to calmly about terms?”
“I think the Elder would be more willing to listen to my terms, rather than wailing and begging for rcy, right?” Ao Hong calmly said.
“Haha, that’s correct. So, tell , how much do you think your life is worth?” Tong Guan laughed heartily and asked.
“Since the power is in the Elder’s hands, why don’t you na your price. Whether it’s Magical Artifacts, spiritual dicines, or Immortal jade, as long as the Elder speaks up, I, the Junior, will try my best to satisfy you.” Ao Hong continued saying.
“To have such an unflustered attitude in the face of danger, it seems that you can’t possibly be from so inferior Dragon Palace. You likely co from that Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, don’t you?” Tong Guan’s expression gradually beca serious, and he carefully constructed his sentence.
