Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 466: Chapter 374: This Woman Is Out of Her Mind (2)

Among them, two were relatively clear, and the other was so blurred that its human shape was barely discernible.

"Have you found them yet?" Huiyue Demon Venerable impatiently urged.

He turned a blind eye to the painful appearance of the Wangyue Cultivator.

"Demon Venerable, among the three on the other side, one has a fate that is extremely unpredictable, I really..." The Wangyue Cultivator raised his head and replied with difficulty.

Just as he was speaking, he visibly aged by more than ten years.

His hair rapidly turned white from the tips, and his once smooth skin became withered and old.

Everyone around could feel that he was starting to overdraw his lifespan.

Even so, the Wangyue Cultivator did not dare stop, continuing desperately to probe Bai Zhirui and the others.

Everyone present understood that once he stopped, the only result awaiting him was death.

In the eyes of Huiyue Demon Venerable, they were nothing more than ants that could be disposed of at will.

"Demon Venerable, I’ve found their location, they are at..." The Wangyue Cultivator hadn’t had time to report the specific whereabouts of Bai Zhirui and the others when his third eye suddenly exploded.

Thud!

Blood sprayed far, and without even a groan, he fell unconscious on the spot.

The nearby Nether Spirit Cultivator quickly came over to check on him, speaking in a heavy tone: "Demon Venerable, this person has been wounded to the core, with all efforts perhaps I can save his life, but even if he survives, he will lose all his cultivation."

"Who can perform the Soul-searching Technique, I need to know the whereabouts of those people." The cold tone of Huiyue Demon Venerable sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

The actions of Huiyue Demon Monarch and other Nether Spirit Cultivators were incredibly swift.

But Bai Zhirui and the others had left ahead of time, and they didn’t forget to conceal their tracks.

Tracing them was like finding a needle in a haystack, not an easy task at all.

If it were any other Nether Spirit, they might have already given up the pursuit by now.

After all, the target they aimed to attack also suffered heavy losses, barely achieving their goal. Continuing the chase would only be a futile waste of time.

But Huiyue Demon Monarch was not one to let grudges slide easily.

Even if it was just a few juniors of the Human Race, he would still pursue them to the very end.

He forced the Wangyue Cultivator to overdraw his life force, using his innate divine power.

Now that the other party was seriously injured, he didn’t even let him go, using the Soul-Searching Technique to read his memory.

This magic, though sinister, was known by quite a few.

The Wangyue Cultivator, now barely hanging by a thread, would undoubtedly die if the Soul-Searching Technique was used.

Everyone present felt a twinge of reluctance.

Seeing no one taking action, Huiyue Demon Venerable did it himself, his withered hand grabbing the Wangyue Cultivator’s head.

The Soul-Searching Technique was fully unleashed, quickly finding what he sought.

The Wangyue Cultivator, as expected by everyone, died bleeding from all seven orifices.

After death, his body dissipated, leaving no trace.

Such ruthless disregard stirred a cold desolation in everyone’s heart.

"They are at Tuying Mountain. Pursue them. Don’t let them escape." Huiyue Demon Venerable’s hand still bore the blood of the Wangyue Cultivator, filled with murderous intent.

Lin Feng’s Flying Sword was incredibly fast, crossing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, landing atop a mountain peak.

This Flying Sword, though fast, obviously burdened Lin Feng somewhat. As it landed, it shrunk back to its original form, returning to Lin Feng’s sword scabbard.

Lin Feng breathed heavily, continuously popping elixirs into his mouth.

"Whew...whew... This Deep Cloud Sword was personally refined for me by an elder of the Sect, not only fast but also able to hide our traces."

"Those from the Nether Spirit Race would never be able to catch up with us."

Su Yao flipped her wrist, and a spirit-infused elixir appeared in her delicate hand.

"Many thanks, Brother Lin. This elixir, also refined by the elders of the Sect, can help Brother Lin quickly regain his strength."

"Isn’t it a waste to use such a precious elixir just like that? Junior Sister Su should keep it for more critical times." Lin Feng patted his chest, exuding confidence.

"It’s just a bit of overexertion, I’ll recover soon enough, there’s no real need for such a spiritual elixir."

"Brother Lin, you’re mistaken. We haven’t fully escaped danger yet. If you recover sooner, it adds an extra life-saving resource for us."

"Junior Sister Su, you really don’t have to be so courteous. I have elixirs from the Sect as well, I’ll recover swiftly."

The two insisted back and forth, one persisting in giving, the other in refusing, causing a momentary standoff.

Bai Zhirui and Zheng Yi, the master-disciple duo, completely settled into spectator mode.

They almost wished for some seeds and tea to enjoy the drama properly.

"Master, didn’t you say Lin Feng and Su Yao were Daoist Companions? How come they don’t quite seem like it? Aren’t they a bit too polite for companions?"

To the disciple’s conjecture, Zheng Yi gave no definitive reply.

"Perhaps they aren’t truly Daoist Companions yet, but their relationship is certainly much closer than you think." "Otherwise, why would Su Yao interrupt whenever you converse with Lin Feng?"

The evidence was incontrovertible, and Bai Zhirui felt her master’s judgment made more sense.

In the end, Lin Feng could not refuse Su Yao and reluctantly accepted the elixir: "Junior Sister Su, you are too generous."

Bai Zhirui, still lamenting the lack of drama, saw Su Yao gracefully walking towards her.

"Sister Bai, in the face of great enemies, the most important thing now is to enhance each of our combat capabilities. Please accept this Harmonizing Pill."

"As long as we aren’t killed on the spot, consuming this elixir will immediately restore all strength up to the Foundation Establishment level. Even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can recover up to thirty percent, making it a significant life-saving measure."

Just hearing the effects made the value of this elixir apparent.

Zheng Yi immediately became alert. Anyone offering kindness without cause likely had ulterior motives; there was surely something off about this.

Such a potent elixir would be rarely stocked even in major sects.

If available, most would be held by core figures of the sect.

No matter how you look at it, Su Yao was just a disciple, at most carrying one for emergencies.

Yet she gave such an important elixir to Bai Zhirui instead of using it herself—what could possibly provoke such an act?

Not only Zheng Yi, but Bai Zhirui too was left bewildered, unsure of what to make of it.

"Mas...Master, what should I do now? Is she planning to take action against me to remove an obstacle between her and Lin Feng?"

Though at a loss, Bai Zhirui’s hands had already moved with lightning speed, quickly pocketing the Harmonizing Pill into her storage space, as if fearing Su Yao might change her mind.

Zheng Yi watched with amused resignation.

He didn’t object to Bai Zhirui’s actions; such life-saving resources would never be too many for any cultivator.

He simply advised her quietly: "Make sure to thoroughly examine the elixir later, to check for any tampering."

"Understood!" Bai Zhirui couldn’t hide her excitement.

Suddenly whisked to this inexplicable place, she hadn’t prepared any life-saving items.

Struggling to survive in the Canglan Realm, striving for anything required staking one’s life; even with gains, they had to be used promptly, employing every means to boost one’s power.

This was the first time she so easily received such a precious elixir.

"Many thanks, Sister Bai!" Seeing Bai Zhirui accept so readily, a brilliant smile bloomed on Su Yao’s face.

"Why is she so pleased giving me something? Master, do you think there’s something wrong with her head?" Bai Zhirui felt uneasy about Su Yao’s smile, suddenly finding the elixir somewhat hot to the touch.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Zheng Yi understood perfectly: "This is clearly her way of telling you to keep your distance from her man now that you’ve accepted her gift, right?"

Bai Zhirui realized: "So that’s how it is, then this is simple."

She immediately patted Su Yao’s shoulder, giving her a knowing nod.

Uncertain if it was her imagination, Bai Zhirui thought she saw Su Yao blush. Perhaps, she thought, Su Yao was so relieved to no longer see her as a threat.
