Chapter 263 - 263 I’ll Go Wherever You Go
If he were to borrow the power of the spirits of the mountains and seas, healing the injuries caused by the Blood-Burning Pill and stabilizing his condition for a short period of time would indeed not be difficult. Furthermore, the phoenix blood contained the power of Nirvana. It was said that it was a divine item that could bring the dead back to life, and just a drop of it would be enough to restore him to his original state.
However, obtaining these two items was easier said than done.
Not to mention the difficulty of forming a spirit of the mountains and seas, as there had been no news of it for almost a few hundred years. Even if it were to form by chance, in the present mountain forests that were filled with demon beasts, the spirit of the mountains and seas would probably be protected by the demon beast race not long after it was born. They would either be revered as gods or treated as a tool to raise the power of their race. How could it be so easy for humans to obtain it?
Even Bi Luo Mansion had not been able to find a single spirit of the mountains and seas.
Not to mention the phoenix’s blood. Phoenixes were almost as rare as dragons. In the records of Bi Luo Mansion, there were only a few traces of phoenixes, so where did he get the confidence to find them?
“It’s easy to say, but I’m afraid that you can only talk about it. In the end, you can’t even touch a single feather of the phoenix, and it will become a joke.”
Netherworld sneered, her eyes filled with anger and mockery. She obviously did not believe that Liu Yuan could find these two life-extending items. She felt that Liu Yuan’s words were just his last bit of stubbornness before he died.
Liu Yuan heard the sneer behind the mask, but his expression did not change much. He tied the knot around her neck to the back and pulled it evilly. He said leisurely, “There’s no need for Lord Mansion Master to worry about this… I can even get phoenix urine, let alone phoenix feathers and phoenix blood.”
“Oh!” Netherworld’s body was pulled back by the force, and she finally felt a kind of involuntary humiliation. Coupled with Liu Yuan’s deliberately vulgar words, she could not help but be angry. “Shameless!”
When had the Mansion Master ever suffered such humiliation? She was so angry that she wanted to tear Liu Yuan into a thousand pieces.
“Mansion Master, how do you feel?” Liu Yuan smiled slightly, and Netherworld felt that this smile was very bad. As expected, she saw him wrap the other end of the rope around his palm and cast a spell on the rope. It immediately disappeared.
At this moment, Netherworld looked no different from when she came. Although her hands were tied behind her back, she looked like she was standing with her hands behind her back because the rope could not be seen.
No one could tell that the mysterious Master of Bi Luo Mansion, Netherworld, had been tied by an Immortal-Binding Rope and had lost his freedom.
Liu Yuan then used the last bit of the Blood-Burning Pill’s effect to search the surroundings with Ling Hua. Those assassins from Bi Luo Mansion were all dead. Even their bodies had self-destructed due to the poison, leaving no traces behind.
“In order to frame me, you really put in a lot of effort.” Liu Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground. This person was wearing a stone blue robe, but there was a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which was a true disciple of Jade Mirage. The two small words ‘Ling Qiu’ were written on it. His face still had a ferocious expression of disbelief, and he died with his eyes wide open.
He was also killed by a dagger that contained demonic Qi, so it should have been Wind Ghost’s doing.
According to this person’s location, he should be Ling Hua’s competitor and one of the masterminds behind this incident. However, he was killed by Wind Ghost. It was clear that the cooperation between the Jade Mirage Sect and the Bi Luo Mansion was no different from asking a tiger for its skin.
However, from Liu Yuan’s understanding, the people of the Jade Mirage Sect were not that stupid. This guy died because he had not been smart enough.
With the addition of this stupid guy, only Ling Hua and Ling Jie, the two disciples of the Danqing Palace, were left. Ling Zhen, who had been taken away by Chuichui, was from the Scarlet Fire Palace. No one else was alive. If such a serious evil deed was confirmed, Ling Hua would never be able to ascend to the position of Sect Master again.
The storm on the river had temporarily stopped, but the heavy rain was still pouring down, and lightning would flash across the sky from time to time.
Ling Hua summoned her Mount, the big white crane, and placed Ling Jie on it. She said, “Even though the Sheng Wu trio are dead, the follow-up actions of the other three palaces will not be delayed because of this. This is only the beginning, and we can not just sit and wait for death.”
As she spoke, she looked at Liu Yuan, obviously intending to listen to his arrangements.
Liu Yuan nodded and said, “We don’t have to worry about Ling Zhen and Chuichui for now. Although that demon dragon always looks stupid, she’s actually very cunning. Ordinary people can’t do anything to her. We’ll go and meet up with Zhiying first… They’re just hiding in the demonic sect for the time being.”
He was a little hesitant. After all, Ling Hua was the standard character of the Righteous Path, and should be irreconcilable with the Demonic Path. Although it was an urgent matter, it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts.
Ling Hua could see his hesitation at a glance. She walked forward and gently held his hand. She smiled and said, “I’ll go wherever you go.”
Her cold and beautiful face still had traces of tears, and her beautiful eyes were slightly red. Her smile at this time really had the feeling of the first clear day after the rain, and the wind and moon were breathtaking.
Jade Mirage Senior Sister’s tenderness and aloofness in front of others, as well as her gentleness and affection in her words at this moment, made Liu Yuan’s heart waver for a moment. He pulled Ling Hua into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.
Ling Hua’s face turned red, but she did not struggle. She stared into Liu Yuan’s eyes, her eyes filled with love.
The lingering fear of life and death melted in the gentleness of their lips touching.
The two of them were immersed in the heavy rain, as if they had abandoned everything else. Poor Netherworld looked on coldly from the side. She suddenly felt very indignant. She hated Liu Yuan’s pull just now, which caught her off guard and pulled her into a daze. She was in an extremely embarrassing situation. She was really angry.
On the other hand, she was angry with Mei Sheng for falling in love with some half-hearted scumbags. Mei Sheng even betrayed her for him.
Liu Yuan let go of Ling Hua. The Jade Mirage Senior Sister was so weak that she did not look like a great cultivator of the Form Synthesis stage. She leaned on him and peeked at him from time to time. Although she was more than 300 years old, her girlish heart was still overflowing.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Netherworld standing up straight with a pair of bright eyes filled with anger. He said calmly, “If you’re unwilling, you can take the initiative to beg me.”
“Bah!” Netherworld glared at him and mocked, “You might as well kill me! Otherwise, one day, I might just pretend to be Mei Sheng and kill you!”
“Let’s wait and see,” Liu Yuan said.
Such a method was indeed Netherworld’s biggest chance to counterattack, but at the same time, it might also be her downfall… Liu Yuan was looking forward to this.
In the rain, the white crane spread its wings and flew across the Spirit Transformation River.
