The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 103

Chapter 6 Devouring

Li Xun looked at Yin Sanren’s pretty face, her smile etched on her face. Just as he was about to offer a few more compliments, something in his heart suddenly stirred, and his tone shifted.

“Very good. Speaking of which, you’ve been helping me quite a bit lately.”

His tone was a little strange. He reached out with a smile, gently grasping Yin Sanren’s chin, carefully examining her flawless face. There was charm, wisdom, composure, and pride, but also, when had a touch of meekness been added?

Meekness? Was a meek Yin Sanren still Yin Sanren?

He stared at Yin Sanren’s face, his smile becoming slightly erratic. “Tell me, what do you want?”

Yin Sanren seemed unprepared for Li Xun’s question, but after a brief pause, she replied frankly, “The Soul-Fixing Blue Star!”

Li Xun was taken aback for a moment before realizing what the Soul-Fixing Blue Star was.

With all the unexpected events these days, he had long since forgotten about Madam Yu. Even when he occasionally thought about them, they were always about the feud between Yin Sanren and Yu Sanren. As for the Soul-Fixing Blue Star and the rare materials associated with it, he had almost forgotten them.

But…

“I didn’t realize you were so devoted to this little girl!”

He finally let go, his words tinged with mockery.

Yin Sanren’s mood seemed to shift slightly. She looked at him intently and said coldly, “Why not?”

“Oh?” Li Xun’s eyes flashed with danger, but more of it was curiosity. So, he decided to listen to Yin Sanren’s reasoning: “Why?”

“Ever since childhood, Chongyu hasn’t been a qualified cultivator.”

What’s the connection? Li Xun frowned, but Yin Sanren’s tone was strangely different from anything he had ever experienced before, a soft and gentle quality he had never experienced before, a softness he had never even imagined.

“She’s pure and gentle, that’s all, but she’s distracted by worldly affairs, her mind full of inappropriate and bizarre ideas. If she were in the lower realms, she might be a noble lady, taking care of her husband and children, but here…”

She shook her head and smiled.

Li Xun could see that her smile was filled with mixed emotions.

After a brief pause, she continued, “I’m different. I’ve been competitive since I was young, and I won’t let anyone put pressure on me when I want to do something. However, I was weak when I was young, and there are some things that I can’t do alone. That’s why I thought of asking Chongyu for help.

“It’s called help, but in fact, what we have to do, in my opinion, is natural, but for her, it’s the most painful thing. You know, some people are not born for that kind of life!

“So, after years of her suffering, I climbed to the position of sect leader. I told her that from now on it’s time for me to repay her. And then…”

Li Xun followed unconsciously, “And then?”

Yin Sanren smiled coldly, “And then she was abducted by Gu Zhixuan.”

Li Xun laughed dryly, feeling that he should say something at this time.

A word of comfort?

Don’t be kidding! He could only cough lightly, trying his best to maintain an indifferent attitude, frowning and saying, “What do you mean?”

Yin Sanren’s gaze fell on the empty and helpless void, looking at the snow flying all over the sky, and murmured, “I have never regretted going astray to save her and even losing my position as the sect leader. I used to think that this was my reward and the reason why I didn’t care about what I lost. But I was wrong.

“I will study the “Yin Fu Jing” sooner or later, and my interest in that boring sect leader position is getting lower and lower. So, what have I lost? It’s just an excuse to go with the flow and take advantage of the situation.

“From the beginning to the end, I didn’t lose anything, so I couldn’t understand what Chongyu felt back then… and now, I kind of understand.”

Yin Sanren’s gaze fell back on Li Xun’s face, and under his puzzled gaze, a smile appeared on her lips.

“What do you mean by sacrifice? It’s clearly excruciating pain, yet you force yourself to do it! Before… it didn’t count.”

Li Xun’s mind was a mess. There was no doubt that Yin Sanren in this moment was definitely not her normal self.

What exactly was she trying to do? Li Xun began to consider whether he should raise his guard. At this moment, Yin Sanren whispered, “I think I’ve done a lot, but I just can’t bring you down. Thinking about it, it only means I haven’t done enough. What do you think would count?”

“Huh?”

Yin Sanren tilted her head back slightly and let out a long breath, as if trying to relieve a burden. Then, she suddenly closed the distance between them, so close that their faces were almost touching, their breaths audible.

Li Xun frowned, feeling quite uncomfortable at the distance. However, out of respect for his dignity, he remained motionless, staring back with a cold stare.

Their gazes met in the air. Surprisingly, Li Xun’s gaze remained fierce, while Yin Sanren lowered her gaze, not engaging him.

The next moment, Yin Sanren’s figure slowly bent, her smooth forehead brushing against Li Xun’s chest. Following the centerline of his body, she moved downward, and just like that… knelt.

Yes, she knelt!

She bent her body, her hips lightly touching her heels, her waist bent with the widest possible motion, crawling over the ice and snow, pressing her face lightly against Li Xun’s feet.

Li Xun’s mind went blank as he heard the other person’s murmured words, “Help me, please help me!”

As the meaning of those eight short words finally dawned on Li Xun, a volcanic eruption of emotion surged from the depths of his heart, piercing his mind.

He felt his brain boiling, every nerve twitching. Overwhelmed by the overwhelming sense of superiority and overwhelming satisfaction, his soul felt the urge to burst into song.

Finally, he felt his fingers trembling. No, not just his fingers, but his entire body trembled, especially his toes, where Yin Sanren’s face was pressed, which began to twitch involuntarily. At the same time, he realized that Yin Sanren’s body was trembling too!

Li Xun shuddered, his mind suddenly clearing up! He

had always been wary of Yin Sanren, but he couldn’t deny that Yin Sanren was proving his power through one incident after another. To the point that

, at this point, Li Xun felt a vague sense of dependence on her, but he still relied on a certain caution to control his dependence.

However, when this beautiful, mature, intelligent, and thoughtful woman, like a trembling dog, prostrated herself at his feet, ignoring the humiliation and begging for alms, who could resist her allure?

And what comes after the temptation?

Li Xun’s eyes suddenly lit up.

With a low growl, he tugged at Yin Sanren’s arm, pulling her to her feet and dragging her into the shadow of a nearby glacier.

Yin Sanren was startled by his sudden, rough approach, but quickly understood his intentions.

This time, her reaction wasn’t as passive as when her consciousness had first returned. She simply sighed and lifted her slender neck slightly, allowing Li Xun’s mouth to rest against it, nibbling and biting, tearing the knots of her robe.

She moaned softly, her arms circling inward, fingers gently supporting the back of Li Xun’s head, her body pressed against the ice wall behind her. As Li Xun’s tongue penetrated deeper, she trembled slightly and murmured softly. Listening closely, she could still hear the same earnest, almost desperate, words from before—”Help me, help me!”

Li Xun lowered his head, his palms pressed against her neck, gently clasping it.

Yin Sanren understood, and after a few trembling lips, she finally paused, sighing. Just as her arm was about to move downward, her neck suddenly tightened. In that instant, she could even hear the strange sound of skin and cartilage rubbing against each other.

Her scream was trapped in her throat, and then the world spun around, and with a loud thud, she was thrown to the snow by Li Xun.

His grip remained firmly on her neck, but the real threat was the storm of spiritual pressure he channeled through her inner meridians. Under such pressure, her fragile spiritual consciousness was like a candle in the wind, threatened to be extinguished at any moment. She

looked into Li Xun’s eyes again, and the cold, dim flames burning within them seemed to be able to scorch her very soul.

Being violently pulled from her grief and despair, the sudden change in the atmosphere left Yin Sanren stunned. She soon realized that Li Xun was manipulating her emotions, controlling her heart.

She finally understood clearly that Li Xun, once a tiny reptile, now controlled everything about her!

If he so desired, he could at any moment repel her newly revived consciousness back to a state of chaos. He could even go further, removing the mysterious mark from her body, erasing the last vestige of her survival.

Sixty years had passed, and now, she was a mere insect!

Her bodily reactions, identical to those of a living being, faithfully reflected her emotions—the color faded from her skin, her heartbeat increased, her pupils constricted, and even, in the freezing weather, a thin layer of sweat formed. Consequently, the slightly exposed side of her breasts became even more voluptuous and smooth.

She wondered what had caused this sudden outburst of emotion, and she knew she hadn’t revealed it…

This time, Li Xun lowered his head, bringing their faces within a mere fraction of an inch, their breaths audible.

On this icy plain, every breath they took created a puff of white mist, and now, their breathing was so rapid that their faces blurred in the swirling mist.

Even so, Yin Sanren couldn’t ignore Li Xun’s dark, sinister eyes. She felt her very soul tremble under them.

It was a novel, yet not a pleasant feeling.

At this moment, Li Xun whispered, “You said you were doing this for your sister? That’s a good reason! So, what have you done for her?”

Without waiting for Yin Sanren to speak, he recounted the events one by one.

“You helped me enter the Yin-Yang Sect’s inner circle, which is great. You saved my life and taught me how to eliminate the hidden dangers within my body, for which I’m very grateful. And just now, your suggestion was absolutely brilliant! I have nothing to say.

” “Yes, based on all this, I should help you, help you get that Soul-Fixing Blue Star. But I’m worried, very worried. Do you know why?”

Yin Sanren shook her head involuntarily, a rare display of obedience in her.

Li Xun smiled faintly. “I just realized it, too. Because you never address me by name! It’s always “you, you, me, me,” even just now, when you were wagging your tail like a dog. Ha!”

He chuckled to himself for a moment, then his tone changed, and he said quietly, “I can call you Uncle-Master, Master, or something else, but look at what you call me! It makes me feel like you’re deeply disrespectful to me. To be more blunt, you look down on me. You’re still deeply dissatisfied with your current position. And you don’t seem to show any sign of changing.

“So, of course, I doubt your attitude, and by extension, your intentions. Actually, it’s a simple matter, like this…”

Their faces pressed together, and Yin Sanren felt Li Xun kiss her cheek, then put his mouth to her ear and blew gently. And then…

“Yin Chonghua!”

It was a sudden, low growl. The sound wasn’t loud, but those three short words weighed like a thousand-pound boulder, rumbling over the fragile fire of her spiritual consciousness.

The pain that came from the depths of her soul instantly spread throughout her body. Her body twitched violently, and it seemed as if all the strong vitality in her body was drained away in an instant. The extreme weakness made her instinctively want to take a deep breath.

However, Li Xun suddenly increased the strength of his hands, tightly holding her neck, preventing her from receiving any energy from the outside world!

She let out a “hehe” sound of air flow blockage in her throat, and her mind inevitably became dizzy.

In a trance, it seemed as if a dark big hand grasped her fragile yet infinite spiritual fire, kneading it roughly, trying to squeeze out all the secrets within. She instinctively wanted to resist, but it was no use.

She felt weak, completely and thoroughly, weak from the body to the deepest part of her heart.

Unable to stop anything, she was on the verge of screaming in despair, and she did. Li Xun had unknowingly withdrawn his hand from her throat, but her voice, weaker than a dying lamb, vanished in the gust of wind.

“Interesting!”

she heard Li Xun say.

Then, a series of low notes flowed into her ears and heart, like thunder rumbling across the sky, assaulting her from both the physical and the spiritual level.

“Yin Zhonghua, what do you want to do? What are you going to do? What have you done? You… you… you… you…”

She couldn’t answer, nor did she need to. To its controller, a puppet is like a transparent container, covered only by a black cloth. At first glance, there seems no crack, but once the cloth is peeled back, the contents within are revealed.

Clearly, Li Xun wasn’t familiar with this before. But once he understood, all secrets would cease to be secrets!

At first, countless questions, like countless dark hands, greedily snatched the corresponding answers from her consciousness.

Later, it became a shockwave a hundred times more violent than any hurricane, powerful enough to sweep everything away; like a thug, fiercely kicking her in the stomach, threatening to spill her entrails and reveal them clearly.

Everything stored within her consciousness was ripped out, from memories as far back as she could remember to those outside Songjing City, including the decades she’d spent as a puppet, oblivious yet faithfully documented… Thousands of

years of bittersweet experiences surged back, ruthlessly snatched away in the blink of an eye. The emptiness and weakness that drained her soul left her only a moment to utter an instinctive cry before her last vestiges of strength vanished. She collapsed to the ground, her eyes quickly losing their luster.

The flame of her spiritual consciousness flickered, then quickly faded.

In the instant before the flame died, a resounding boom echoed deep within her heart. Instantly, her life seemed to begin all over again, countless scenes, both familiar and unfamiliar, flowing into her like a stream, seamlessly syncing with her consciousness.

Yet, she could sense that beyond this slowly flowing scene, a vast shadow was watching alongside her.

It was witnessing her most painful past, her most unbearable memories, her most secret thoughts.

In the blink of an eye, she had no more secrets from him.

Her mind was clearer than before, but at some point, her eyes lost focus, and the image of the man before her grew and shrank. When all her senses returned to normal, she found herself n*ked, lying on the cold snow, with Li Xun pressing down on her. She

remembered reading in the sect’s texts as a child: “The eyes are dazzled by the five colors, so by exposing oneself, it is easier to conceal one’s feelings.” To be overconfident and careless in one’s heart is a recipe for failure.

So what is she now?

The impact of the **, the emotional torrent of thousands of years, and the fear of revealing all her secrets to others, these three huge forces converged and attacked her simultaneously. She was like a wild goose shot through by a sharp arrow. After a sharp cry, she suddenly fell into the bottomless abyss.

Chongyu… is this the feeling you are most familiar with?

Warm liquid gently slid down from the corner of her eyes, brushed against the hair on her temples, dripped onto the snow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Xun fell on Yin Sanren, exhausted, but couldn’t help laughing.

It worked!

The method he had been thinking about for these days really worked.

Ever since his change of mind that day, he has been working hard to make up for the various flaws and weaknesses he had revealed before.

Yin Sanren, this uncertain factor, is naturally the focus of attention.

The sect’s secret techniques certainly included sophisticated methods for controlling puppets, but unfortunately, Li Xun, having achieved such rapid success through the “Heavenly Darkness Transformation Yin Pearl,” was far from perfect. The crucial “mind-communication” technique, crucial for controlling the puppets and advancing his cultivation, was out of the question.

Desperate, he resorted to crude methods, like the one he had just used, forcibly breaching Yin Sanren’s consciousness and extracting her memories.

The results were satisfying.

Not only had he confirmed Yin Sanren’s “innocence,” but he had also, while at her weakest, imprinted a mark on her mind, facilitating future control. It was a simplified version of the “mind-communication” technique. From then on, he could rest assured in Yin Sanren.

However, in the long run, this wasn’t a good thing. It would particularly impact his own cultivation, potentially preventing him from ever reaching the highest levels of the “Exorcising Souls, Refining Possessions, and Connecting Minds” technique.

But wouldn’t a safe and harmless Yin Sanren be a hundred times more powerful?

The only regret was that, due to the brutality of the attack, Yin Sanren’s recently recovered spiritual consciousness was severely damaged, rendering it useless for the time being.

Li Xun sighed and pushed herself to her feet.

Yin Sanren stared blankly at the sky. Her body was intact, but the blow to her mind was far more terrifying than any injury.

Perhaps she had regained the strength to move mountains and seas, but she couldn’t even move a finger.

Li Xun surveyed her delicate and captivating form from above, his eyes still ablaze, and wherever he looked, he still caused her to instinctively twitch.

Ultimately, however, Li Xun did nothing more, merely putting on his clothes. Then he ordered, “Go and rest!”

With these words, Li Xun withdrew the last trace of the murderous aura that had suppressed the fire of her spiritual consciousness. This gave her some strength, and with some effort, she lifted half her body, her graceful figure naturally forming a rhythmic and beautiful painting.

She raised her head, looking into Li Xun’s face. “Obtaining the Black Silk Clam Treasure and other materials won’t be difficult for you. And it’s not just the Spirit-Destroying Silk; you might also need the Soul-Locking Aura from that Blood Kiss…”

Li Xun clearly hadn’t expected her to remember this. He paused for a moment before smiling, “I understand… We’ll talk after you recover.”

His words were a bit perfunctory, and Yin Sanren’s expression darkened. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but her words caught in her throat.

This hesitant gesture revealed her true mental state. How could a normal Yin Sanren lack the courage to speak?

Li Xun didn’t want to say any more. Just as he was about to cast a spell to retract Yin Sanren, he heard a low sigh: “It’s just a piece of cake… Master!”

Li Xun looked over in surprise, but Yin Sanren turned away, shielding him from her expression.

But the next moment, she was forced to turn her face away by the grip of her jaw. She quickly closed her eyes, but Li Xun’s gaze burned against her skin.

At that moment, she heard Li Xun’s calm voice: “I’m relieved to know your brain is still working so well!”

An irresistible will surged in, opening a path to a separate dimension for the Youxuan Puppet, drawing her in.

Li Xun let out a long breath. He had to admit, the amount of work he had just accomplished and the amount of information he had gathered was truly overwhelming. He needed to calm his mind and let it sink in.

Just then, a high five rang out—”Wow! Amazing, truly amazing!”

Li Xun turned his head and saw Shui Dielan, smiling from the top of a small icy peak, looking down and applauding. Li Xun didn’t know when she had arrived there, but he was certain she had watched the entire scene from beginning to end!

“Excuse me!” Li Xun’s reaction was neither angry nor angry. He looked like he had just finished a commendable painting or something, without any embarrassment.

Shui Dielan sneered at his reaction. Her body seemed to be weightless. Blown by the cold wind, she landed lightly beside him. She seemed to be closer, and deliberately took two steps back before nodding to show her satisfaction.

Li Xun looked at her inquiringly.

Shui Dielan smiled and said, “I understand now. It’s boring not to be with you. But it’s too dangerous to be too close to you. I can only keep my distance like this…

After all, you are probably the first person in the world who can deal with Yin Chonghua in this way. Who knows if you will spread this method in the future?”

“Publicly spread it on you?”

Of course, Li Xun didn’t say this. He still had to be a little cautious about such things. Seeing that Shui Dielan was quite tactful and didn’t delve into it, he smiled and changed the subject: “I heard from Yin Sanren that you went to Qianji Pass again. How’s the situation over there?”

“What else could it be? They’ve all withdrawn. Humph, they didn’t even send me a message to urge me…”

“Oh?” After she said that, Li Xun remembered something he hadn’t asked clearly before: “By the way, you haven’t told me yet, how did you get this business?”

“Of course, the other party placed the order first and inquired about my intention. After I confirmed that I took over, they revealed their identity. In fact, I was also shocked when I found out it was Gu Yin.”

Thinking of Shui Dielan’s reason for parting last time, Li Xun asked casually, “Did you break up last time just to do this?”

Shui Dielan’s eyes rolled, and she shook her head with a smile, “That’s another matter. I took over this after I defected from Zhu Gou Sect. I was also pressed hard by Qianji and Su Huaiyu, otherwise, how could I agree to this troublesome thing?”

Li Xun felt that her words were a little untrue, but he pretended not to know, and asked with interest, “Can you still take business after you have defected from the sect?”

“Who doesn’t have a few independent business channels? Otherwise, if you only take orders from the sect, when will the rare treasures and spells fall into your hands?”

Shui Dielan looked as if it was a matter of course, but she soon pondered and said, “But taking this order this time is still a bit strange. At the beginning, Gu Yin said that she would create the opportunity and asked me to wait for the opportunity to kill Tianzhi near the pole.

“For this, I even took the trouble to come up with a fake identity. But after the Never-Sleeping City decided to relocate its sect, she modified the plan and asked me to go to Yemotian to take action… and you will see what happened next.

“The reason why it is weird is that after the order is sent, it is up to the killer to decide how to proceed. There are very few employers who even stipulate the time, place, and method of killing. If she did so, it can only be said that she is after more than just Tianzhi’s life. Humph, do you think I’m a fool?”

Li Xun touched his chin and shook his head, “Modify the plan? Well, that’s probably not an active change, but because of Tianzhi’s actions, Gu Yin “followed the good advice”.

“But then again, he clearly has the opportunity, but he would rather spend the money to ask outsiders to do it. Gu Yin’s hobby is really strange! When you met Gu Yin, didn’t you notice anything unusual?”

Shui Dielan replied: “Meet? If you are an outsider and don’t understand, don’t embarrass yourself! You have to know that in most cases, it is against the rules for the employer and the killer to meet. We communicated through specific channels from beginning to end and have never met!”

Li Xun was stunned when he heard it: “No? Then how do you know that the employer is really Gu Yin? Maybe someone can use her name or something.”

“It shouldn’t be?” Shui Dielan scratched her head: “The employer’s seal is indeed Gu Yin’s, I remember that when I traded blood kiss with her, she used this. The magic technique on it is extremely pure, and the nature of the two breaths also matches…”

Although she said so, she did not dare to deny this possibility.

Li Xun’s mind immediately quickened. “If it’s not Gu Yin, this leads to another possibility: besides the old demon Kunpeng and the others, there’s another hidden figure around Gu Yin, trying to trip her up—interesting!”

Li Xun began analyzing every member of the Miaohua Sect and the Loose Cultivator Alliance, trying to identify a “suspect.” However, this was a rather demanding task, and after a long time of contemplation, he came up empty-handed.

Shui Dielan reminded him, “Tianzhi seems to have finished. Do you want to go check it out?”

“Of course!”

Li Xun immediately realized he had a burning question stuck in his throat. He nodded to Shui Dielan and turned to leave.

At that moment, his ears quivered. A faint, yet recognizable sound, miraculously heard through the shrill, howling snowstorm.

At first glance, the voice seemed merely a string of dozens of syllables, devoid of any particular meaning. But if a discerning mind calmed its mind, it could discern a gentle, peaceful, and radiant quality from the subtle ebbs and flows of the sound.

“The Great Initiation Light Mantra?” Shui Dielan asked in surprise. “Which great monk from the ‘Western Zen Sect’ is this? This mantra’s magical power emanates from beyond the Yama Heaven, yet it practically pervades the entire Yama Heaven… er, Tiger Monk?”

The names the seven demons used for each other were quite amusing.

Li Xun had already guessed which one it was, and now wanted to correct him: “Not a monk, but a layperson. A half-accomplished layperson!”

Shui Dielan clearly didn’t care whether it was “half-accomplished” or “one-half-accomplished.” She was only interested in the matter itself. This former demon, with his astonishing combat power, had now arrived beyond the Yama Heaven. He certainly wasn’t going to endlessly ferry souls, was he?

Li Xun and her exchanged glances, both thinking of Master Tianzhi.

Li Xun’s mind swept over the area, and he suddenly cried out, “Oh no!” He turned abruptly and rushed towards the ice where Tianzhi was hiding.

Shui Dielan didn’t immediately follow. She lowered her head, looking at the traces left by Li Xun and Yin Sanren—although mostly obscured by the wind and snow, they were still recognizable.

Finally, she sighed and said, “What a terrifying creature!”

Li Xun, of course, was unaware of her assessment from behind. It only took him a few breaths to reach the ice where Tianzhi was hiding.

Just as he was about to enter, his body suddenly tensed up, and he stopped there. He whispered, “Is the Master okay?”

After about a breath, Tianzhi replied calmly, “Not bad!”

As he expected, Tianzhi’s voice had improved significantly from its previous trembling voice. It was likely that her unyielding evil intention had begun to take effect.

Although her heart was still weak, her six senses had returned. If Li Xun foolishly rushed in, his face would be clearly seen, and that would be disastrous.

Tianzhi’s tone was calm, unmistakable after her journey through the life-or-death strait. She said, “Master Bancheng has arrived, and I’m afraid the other Daoists aren’t far behind. I must rejoin them now to avoid unnecessary losses.”

Li Xun knew she would say that, so he laughed heartily and said nothing more.

He knew his dealings with Tianzhi would continue for a long time.

He had no expectations of her being completely subservient to him like Yin Sanren, nor did he expect her to “live and die together” like Shui Dielan. But Tianzhi would surely be interested in this choice between “life” and “reputation.”

After laughing, he shifted his focus and nodded, saying, “Alright, let’s make a deal…”

He was halfway through his words when a whistle suddenly echoed from the sky. The familiar vibrations startled Li Xun.

A Flying Soul Edict?

As the thought crossed his mind, a plaque, neither metal nor wood, fell from the sky, landing directly in his hand.

Why was he stuck at this point?

However, there was no time to dwell on it. Li Xun placed the imperial decree in his arms and continued, “In that case, I will not stop you, Master. Of course, before that…”

He turned his gaze to Shui Dielan, who had already arrived, and smiled strangely.

With a sound of tearing silk, Shui Dielan painfully handed over the fragments of “Blood God Son,” compiled by Xiao Chongzi and woven from celestial silk. After a brief confirmation, Li Xun ripped a page from it and nailed it to the side of the ice.

“This is the complete method of the Heart Demon Refining Method. Although I have already explained it to you, some details may be incomplete. I will give you this manuscript for your reference. We will meet again!”

He then gestured to Shui Dielan, and the two of them retreated together.

The next moment, the ice shattered, and Tianzhi’s slender figure appeared. Amidst the shattered ice, he accurately caught the unfinished manuscript. At the same time, his eyes swept around, but unfortunately, Li Xun had long disappeared because he was taken away by Shui Dielan, who had unparalleled escape skills.
