Chapter 169: Merciless Persuasion
Seeing Ye Xuan appear before her, Wan Yuxin’s heart was filled with excitement. She never expected that the man she had been searching for so desperately would appear before her today.
Just a moment ago, she was genuinely worried that those two old folks might have gone too far and killed Ye Xuan. Now that Ye Xuan had come to her on his own, she naturally would not hold back.
“Hehe, Ye Xuan, you’ve finally appeared before me.” She watched Ye Xuan quietly, her eyes carrying a hint of a sinister gleam.
“You probably don’t know who I am, let me introduce myself. I am the Saintess of the Evil Sky Sect, Wan Yuxin. I have taken a liking to you; come back with me to the Evil Sky Sect.”
She spoke while keeping an eye on Yu Ling’er’s situation, Ye Xuan was also paying attention to the woman in front of him.
“Wan Yuxin, what about me do you like?” He asked casually.
“Hehe.” Wan Yuxin gave a slight smile, her finger lightly touching her lips, and said, “I find you handsome, is that not enough?”
“Is that so?” Ye Xuan said: “Then what are you willing to sacrifice for me?”
“Giggle…” Wan Yuxin laughed like a silver bell, then said, “As long as you are willing to come with me, you can ask me to do anything; I will let you experience pleasures unique in this world.”
“Hehe.” Hearing this, Ye Xuan scoffed coldly, “Then let me ask you to abandon evil and follow good, do you agree?!”
“That I cannot do.” Wan Yuxin flatly refused, “I can’t stand not doing some evil each day…
“That’s the one thing I can’t comply with you on. However, I can kill those women who have hurt you, ensuring they never get a chance to harm you again.”
“In this world, besides me, I won’t allow any other woman to harm you.”
“Figures.” Hearing this, Ye Xuan inwardly understood.
What exactly Wan Yuxin was, he hadn’t written in his script, but he had some ideas about it. And the Wan Yuxin right now was exactly as he had imagined.
A person who, apart from loving him, harbors no good intentions, an absolutely evil being. Some people do evil with some purpose, but Wan Yuxin does evil merely for pleasure.
She was originally a character meant to bear the dark aspects of Ye Xuan in the script. However, Ye Xuan hadn’t expected that this character would actually appear before him.
Though the woman before him appeared because of him, the past had also already occurred. So, for this woman, Ye Xuan had no intention of showing any mercy.
Just as she would show no mercy towards him. She would not only harm him but, if given the chance, would also kill all the women close to him.
Moreover, she carried the essence of both his and Hu Qianzao’s souls, making it quite easy for her to impersonate him or Hu Qianzao. Therefore, she absolutely could not be left alive.
“Do you want to fight me?” Despite Ye Xuan’s composure and calm, Wan Yuxin was not too surprised.
After all, in her previous life as the Devouring Gu, she had already attached herself to Ye Xuan’s soul, and later, she attached to Hu Qianzao, experiencing many things with Ye Xuan.
She knew that Ye Xuan was terrifyingly calm in whatever he did. Every action he took might have an unknown purpose behind it.
However…
“I advise you to give up and just come with me obediently.” Wan Yuxin looked at Ye Xuan and disdainfully said.
“Right now, you are too weak, you can’t possibly be my opponent, and I don’t want you to experience the pain of the Devouring Gu anymore…”
“Hehe.” Ye Xuan didn’t say much more, only his sword art condensed, and behind him, a long sword broke through the air and landed in his hand.
The next moment, Ye Xuan leaped forward, launching an attack towards Wan Yuxin’s face. At this moment, Ye Xuan’s sword light was like a phantom light and shadow, changing mystically in an instant.
Wan Yuxin’s expression changed drastically, not expecting Ye Xuan, a mere Spiritual Insight, to possess such strength. After swiftly dodging Ye Xuan’s sword, Wan Yuxin immediately felt the threat and quickly distanced herself from Ye Xuan.
Without hesitation, she cast the Devouring Gu towards Ye Xuan.
The green light surged towards him, and Ye Xuan could not afford to be careless. If he were struck by this curse, even those with the firmest will would fall under its control.
Immediately, Ye Xuan’s hand changed sword techniques, generating countless spirtual swords out of thin air, which rotated around him several times, dispelling the green light, and then shot up into the sky.
Thousands of spirtual swords, like swimming dragons, followed Ye Xuan’s directive and flew towards Wan Yuxin. Where the sword energy passed, the space itself emitted a sharp whistling sound.
Wan Yuxin’s form shifted, conjuring a massive shield of evil energy, blocking the spirtual swords. The spirtual swords were deflected one by one, embedding themselves in the ground, solid and undispersed.
For a moment, the ground around Wan Yuxin was filled with millions of spirtual swords.
“Phew–!!!” Wan Yuxin spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ye Xuan before her, she said in disbelief, “Impossible–!!! How can you be so strong–!!!”
“You are just a mere Spiritual Insight, and I have been enlightened by our sect master, my cultivation profound, how could I not withstand your attack–!”
“Who is your sect master?” Ye Xuan stood with his sword, not revealing that he was using the Celestial Crimson Sword Technique or that he had the power of an immortal-level spiritual source.
In a one-on-one situation he has an unending source of spiritual power…
“Our Evil Sky Sect’s sect master is named Xie Wujian.” Wan Yuxin said, “In some time, once our sect master becomes famous throughout the world, you will naturally understand his might.”
“His strength is not something those of the righteous path can contend with. I advise you to just come and follow the Evil Sky Emperor, believe in the Evil Sky–!”
“But, I know you won’t listen to me, I understand what kind of person you are better than anyone. So, even if it means sacrificing my life today, I will take you away–!”
After her words fell, Wan Yuxin gathered a spell in her hands, her body glowing with a purple light, “If you can’t stop this attack, today, the Jade Fox Palace will be destroyed–!!!”
As she spoke, lightning thundered down from the sky, and dark clouds rolled, converging towards where Wan Yuxin stood. Wan Yuxin’s gaze then turned towards the Grand Array’s hub of the Jade Fox Palace.
Ye Xuan understood what Wan Yuxin intended. If she destroyed the hub of the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array, the Jade Fox Palace would fall, and he, being in the Jade Fox Palace, would certainly not survive.
He had to block Wan Yuxin’s evil light attack aimed at the hub with all his might. As for why she warned him before making her move, it was naturally because…
She didn’t want him to die. Her nature was evil, this evilness had overshadowed her love for him.
Yet, she couldn’t help but want to care for him, so driven by instinct, even while committing evil acts, she was worried about harming him, hence she gave him a warning.
However, even if she hadn’t warned him, it wouldn’t matter. Ye Xuan still had the advantage before her, confident that no one below the immortals could destroy the Jade Fox Palace’s array hub in his presence.
The next moment, Ye Xuan had already teleported to the hub of the Jade Fox Palace’s grand array, waving his hand, and in front of him, a giant Tai Chi array symbol rotated and emerged.
At the same time, Wan Yuxin’s attack flew in from afar, intercepted by Ye Xuan’s Tai Chi array symbol.
The next moment, Ye Xuan felt tremendous pressure from the evil energy orb. He urged his spiritual power further.
At the same time, the countless spiritual swords Ye Xuan had released flew into the air, appearing before him like specks of cold stars, their blades directly pointing towards where Wan Yuxin was.
At this moment, Ye Xuan did not hesitate to take decisive action, “Celestial Crimson Sword Sword–!”
