Chapter 489: Even Ashes Can’t Soften That Mouth
With Qi Lian Nuo dead, his Nascent Soul let out a shrill scream, trying to escape, but You Yao caught it in her hand.
Qi Lian Nuo’s bloodied head rolled to Lin Fengmian’s feet.
His eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness, creating a horrifying sight.
Lin Fengmian was somewhat surprised that You Yao had actually killed him so decisively.
After all, defeating someone of the same level was one thing, but killing them was quite another!
This woman was not only strong in offense and defense, but she was also incredibly agile.
She was truly an all-around fighter!
You Yao held Qi Lian Nuo’s struggling Nascent Soul in one hand and dragged his headless corpse back with her chain-like serpent sword.
This scene, combined with her crimson eyes, made her seem like a primordial beast, bringing an overwhelming aura of blood with her.
However, Lin Fengmian let out a playful whistle and said with a smile, “Not bad, not bad. Quite a show. Although it was a bit too fast-I didn’t get a good look under your skirt.”
You Yao was momentarily stunned. She had intended to intimidate Lin Fengmian, to show him that her legs weren’t just for crushing waists, but also for twisting off heads!
But now she felt like she was wasting her efforts on someone who couldn’t appreciate it.
This man was a lecherous devil who could scare even a female ghost.
You Yao closed her eyes and silently put the bronze eyepatch back on.
Lin Fengmian took out the inner armor from his storage ring and tossed it to You Yao.
“Here, this is for you!”
You Yao was both shocked and delighted to see the inner armor in his hands. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t find the words.
Seeing her expression, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but tease her.
“If you don’t want to owe me a favor, you can just spend the night with me.”
“Dream on!”
You Yao snorted coldly and handed over Qi Lian Nuo’s Nascent Soul. “I’ll trade this for it.”
“Deal!”
Lin Fengmian didn’t hesitate and took the imprisoned Nascent Soul from her.
Shangguan Qiong couldn’t help but marvel at his audacity.
Was it really okay for a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Realm to flirt so brazenly with a cultivator of the Unity Realm?
But then she thought about how she, a Soul Severing Realm cultivator, had to grit her teeth, cover her backside, and hide from this relentless man.
She decided that it wasn’t that strange after all.
Lin Fengmian looked at the Nascent Soul in his hand and smirked. “Elder Qi Lian, do you still feel tough?”
Even as a Nascent Soul, Qi Lian Nuo remained defiant.
“Kill me if you want, stop wasting time! If I so much as flinch, I’m your son!”
Lin Fengmian chuckled. “Even if you were burned to ashes, your mouth would still be hard.”
“Perfect timing. I have just learned a soul-seizing technique. Let’s use you to practice.”
He began to apply the soul-seizing technique he had recently learned from the Heavenly Deception Sect, extracting Qi Lian Nuo’s memories.
Under Lin Fengmian’s inexperienced soul-searching, Qi Lian Nuo’s Nascent Soul screamed in agony, eventually becoming dazed and unresponsive.
From the jumbled memories, Lin Fengmian pieced together the whole story.
As the honorary elder of Heavenly Fiend Hall, Qi Lian Nuo wasn’t someone Jun Yunzheng could easily command.
However, the two of them had a good personal relationship, and Jun Yunzheng knew that Qi Lian Nuo revered Empress Fengyao as if she were a goddess.
So, during casual conversation, Jun Yunzheng deliberately let slip that Jun Wuxie had caught Empress Fengyao’s attention because he resembled someone from her past.
Empress Fengyao had even recently inquired about Jun Wuxie’s well-being, hinting that she might summon him for an audience during the upcoming celebration.
Jun Wuxie, on the other hand, planned to use the Blood Fiend Trial to make a grand impression, deceiving the Empress to achieve his own vile goals!
When Qi Lian Nuo learned of Jun Wuxie’s notorious past, how could he tolerate his goddess being deceived and defiled?
Jun Yunzheng had repeatedly “strongly advised” Qi Lian Nuo not to act rashly, but he “accidentally” revealed that the Heavenly Grace Dynasty was also involved.
This only strengthened Qi Lian Nuo’s resolve. Jun Wuxie, that disastrous seducer, could not be allowed to live!
The assassins were “coincidentally” encountered by like-minded individuals on his journey.
Although Qi Lian Nuo knew that these people had their own agenda, he was confident in his strength and didn’t think much of it.
“What a fool!”
Lin Fengmian directly erased Qi Lian Nuo’s consciousness and then kicked his head away.
“Hang his head on the bow of the ship as a warning!”
Although he knew that Jun Yunzheng was behind this, all Jun Yunzheng had done was to “accidentally” reveal Jun Wuxie’s notorious past.
He had even “strongly advised” Qi Lian Nuo, how could he be at fault?
Lin Fengmian’s expression darkened. He had thought that as the son of the Heavenly Grace King, it would be much easier to contact Jun Yunshang.
But he hadn’t expected Jun Yunshang to suddenly express interest in meeting Jun Wuxie, instantly elevating his status.
“Yunshang, I warned you back then, the higher your position, the more careful you have to be.”
“Your casual remark caused me a lot of trouble!”
Now, Jun Yunzheng was treating him as a serious threat, even trying to prevent him from attending the trial in order to eliminate him once and for all.
Lin Fengmian gently fanned himself and said calmly, “It seems that my participation in the Blood Fiend Trial has stepped on someone’s toes.”
You Yao spoke up, “Your Highness, with the enemy in the shadows and us in the open, I think it’s too risky for you to continue traveling by airship.”
“What do you suggest?” Lin Fengmian asked with interest.
“The fleet will continue on while the two of us will secretly escort you back to Haining City. From there, you can use a teleportation array to return,” You Yao suggested.
Lin Fengmian shook his head decisively. “No, that would make me look like a coward.”
His eyes filled with killing intent as he said, “We’ll fight our way back. Let’s see who dares to stop me!”
You Yao and Elder Ming were both surprised by his response.
After all, this guy was known to be cowardly. Why was he suddenly so bold?
Lin Fengmian looked at them with a teasing smile. “What? With so many experts by my side, can’t I afford to be bold for once?”
Although You Yao had some reservations about Lin Fengmian’s decision, she didn’t argue any further.
After all, if they left, the Shadow Guards acting as decoys would surely be wiped out.
Lin Fengmian hung Qi Lian Nuo’s head on the bow of the ship and boldly marched back to Heavenly Grace King City.
That night, Shangguan Qiong was restless.
Tonight, the guy was actually behaving himself and hadn’t touched her.
This made her ecstatic, but she was also worried that he was plotting something.
Right now, Lin Fengmian was sitting cross-legged, trying to communicate with Luo Xue through the Twin Fish Pendant.
The Twin Fish Pendant had finished charging, and he was eager to share his success with Luo Xue.
But no matter how much he called out, there was no response from Luo Xue’s side, leaving Lin Fengmian puzzled.
Had Luo Xue returned to Qionghua and was too busy to respond?
How heartless! He had risked his life to replace Jun Wuxie, and now when he wanted to share his joy, she couldn’t even be bothered to reply!
A Thousand Years Ago, on Qionghua’s Heavenly Sword Platform
Zhen Yuan was embedded in the center of a massive array carved with intricate runes. At the edges of the circular array, five sword phantoms were inserted.
At this moment, the Twin Fish Pendant on Zhen Yuan began to glow, and the sword emitted an eerie aura.
The runes on the platform lit up, and the energy dispersed along the patterns, flowing into the five sword phantoms.
The sword phantoms instantly shone with dazzling light, and the surrounding space twisted as if they had entered another dimension.
Seeing this, a disheveled old man jumped up and down in excitement, shouting, “So that’s how it is! That’s how it is! I’ve figured it out!”
