Chapter 1680: Chapter 173: Gui Die Clan Sisters
Lei Yan King’s ruthless actions shocked everyone present.
It’s not just Lei Yan King’s formidable strength, but also because his methods are extremely violent.
Such a violent person, evidently, no cultivator would want to be his enemy.
After all, he’s a fearsome being who dares to kill someone like Jiang Tianling of the Jiang family. Although most other cultivators have some background, compared to the Jiang family, they are ultimately nothing. Since Jiang Tianling was so defeated, the others naturally wouldn’t seek their own doom.
Thus, the vast area around became utterly isolated.
On the scene, only Lei Yan King and Jiang Yuning remained.
And Jiang Yuning is no longer being strangled nor tortured by Lei Yan King; instead, she quietly stands beside him.
"Lei Yan King, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened."
Jiang Yuning continues to apologize.
"Ha."
Lei Yan King’s chuckle is filled with sarcasm.
This attitude makes Jiang Yuning’s face even paler.
However, she does not refute nor explain, as she believes the soul extraction itself was the Jiang family’s wrongdoing.
As for the specific circumstances, the specific truth, Jiang Yuning indeed does not know.
"Lei Yan King, this Secret Realm is somewhat special, I hope I can assist you, to somewhat atone for my guilt."
Jiang Yuning’s words are gentle, yet carry a hint of pleading.
Her gaze is incredibly sincere as she looks at Lei Yan King, seemingly trying to use her sincerity to move him.
However, currently dominated by negative emotions, Lei Yan King wouldn’t care about Jiang Yuning’s feelings.
Lei Yan King snorted coldly: "No need, if a wrongdoer can be forgiven easily, then your Jiang family might feel justified about many things. To me, this cannot be forgiven! I won’t accept any of your help, so, leave now!"
Lei Yan King lashed out coldly.
Even though Jiang Yuning is extremely beautiful, his cold heart harbors no emotions, thus he feels no pity.
This reprimand made Jiang Yuning’s face pale again.
Jiang Yuning herself doesn’t know why, after being scolded by Lei Yan King, she felt so sad, so heartbroken.
It’s as if the bloodline within her body suddenly doesn’t belong to her, as if something in her heart is suddenly lost. That feeling of sadness is indescribable.
This feeling of sadness even conveys through her gaze, as at that moment, Jiang Yuning’s eyes show very evident and deep pain.
And such a gaze suddenly reflected into Lei Yan King’s eyes.
Lei Yan King’s eyes slightly narrowed, yet showed no reaction, but deep down in his heart, he seemed similarly touched, deeply shocked.
Even though Lei Yan King also doesn’t understand why a single glance from this woman makes his heart uncomfortable, he doesn’t want to pay attention to these matters.
Lei Yan King waved his hand, and within the void, a terrifying illusion array appeared, enveloping Jiang Yuning.
In an instant, Jiang Yuning lost sight of Lei Yan King, unable to sense his presence.
Clearly, Lei Yan King has left the place, and due to refusing Jiang Yuning’s assistance, he directly trapped her within this array.
The array is not complex, but with Jiang Yuning’s ability and strength, breaking it would take ten days or more.
Such a complex array, Lei Yan King summoned effortlessly, and controlled it to perfection, which makes Jiang Yuning’s mood more complicated and her gaze more helpless.
"What should I do for you to forgive? I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect it to be like this. Had I known, I surely wouldn’t have said such nonsense, wouldn’t have proposed the idea that the soul is more suitable for the Jiang family..."
Jiang Yuning sighed sadly.
She always thought the soul extraction incident happened because of her unintentional remark, but she didn’t know it was actually very complicated.
Inside the array, Jiang Yuning walked back and forth, but eventually, she could only sit down helplessly, quietly cultivating.
Because with this array, unless the array itself breaks, she cannot break it.
Even if she wants to break it, it would take over ten sleepless days and nights.
However, if the array is not broken, after waiting in it for seven days or so, the array will automatically dissolve.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning didn’t attempt to break it, because she knows this situation is precisely set by Lei Yan King, akin to a derisive taunt about her powerless capability.
...
Lei Yan King exited that region and arrived at a desolate area.
Far in the distance, there were some energy fluctuations; Lei Yan King knew there were cultivators inhabiting there, but he didn’t care.
In this area, there’s a singularity of space-time present.
These elements, due to bloodline inheritance, Lei Yan King naturally grasped completely, although he doesn’t know from whom the inherited bloodline and gifted abilities originate, but everything resonates perfectly with him, making him believe it should be his own bloodline and talent ability, not borrowed from another.
