Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him
Xiao Chen's face changed dramatically, and without hesitation, he laid down multiple layers of spiritual power shields outside his body. However, in his heart, he knew that even if he was affected, it would have no effect at all, but rather just to ease his mind a little.
"Magic ancestor, explode!"
A mysterious woman's eyes flashed with a few points of fierce and ruthless color, the giant magic shadow that was born with two horns standing upright and unyielding under the ancestor's fist, opened its arms to hold it tightly, and a violent force burst out from its body in an instant.
Boom!
A deafening crash, as if heaven and earth were destroyed together, all things withered!
Xiao Chen's eyes turned black, and blood flowed out of his nostrils at the same time. He fainted immediately.
It was unknown how long it took, but Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, and everything in front of him suddenly made his jaw drop. The grand hall had turned into a ruin at this moment, countless forbidden arrays were completely destroyed in that intense self-explosion, and the entire ground was thoroughly overturned.
As for the ghostly corpse and the mysterious woman, they also disappeared without a trace. The intact Blood Silk Jade Plate on the ground was now shattered into pieces and fell to one side.
"Hmm, what's this?" Just then, a faint, illusory figure appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. The figure was extremely pale and seemed as if it would dissipate at any moment. If one didn't observe carefully, they might have overlooked it entirely.
"It's her!" Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat, this figure was the mysterious woman, presumably this was her true self, unexpectedly she had survived from that self-explosion.
Xiao Chen slightly pulled back, increasing the distance between them. After all, he had personally witnessed that vengeful spirit devouring Chu Kuang's primordial spirit and occupying his body. He didn't want to suffer the same fate as him.
At this moment, the mysterious woman suddenly opened her eyes. Although her soul was illusory and might disperse at any time, there was no fear in her eyes, but still with that proud color.
"What? Fellow Daoist, you're afraid I'll seize your body? Hehe, rest assured, if I could really do that, I would have done it before you woke up." The woman's words were explanatory, but the corners of her mouth were undisguisedly curled up in ridicule.
Xiao Chen's face slightly showed a hint of embarrassment, and then he smiled frankly: "Fellow Taoist has many methods, I have learned a lot from you, naturally I must be careful to guard against one or two."
The mysterious woman's eyes flickered, and she gazed deeply at Xiao Chen before saying slowly: "I underestimated you, to think that you could survive the battle between me and that demon clan."
Xiao Chen heard this and smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it.
The mysterious woman slightly furrowed her brow, seemingly dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's attitude. She then calmly said, "In any case, the fact that you, fellow practitioner, can survive until now means your luck is quite good. I have a deal to propose to you; would you be interested?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke slowly: "Oh, I don't know what kind of transaction you have, why not tell me and let me hear it?"
"Allow my soul to inhabit your body, then help me find a few spiritual herbs to refine an elixir. If this is accomplished, I will certainly give you a satisfactory reward." The woman's eyes flashed and she slowly spoke.
She was also unable to withstand such conditions, although she did not disperse her soul in the final self-explosion, but her original spirit suffered severe damage, and her primordial spirit weakened every moment. At this moment, even if she had already applied a secret method to seal her own soul, if she continued to stay outside, she would surely disperse completely within half a year, never to enter reincarnation again.
However, if one can enter the body of a cultivator and obtain his spiritual energy to nourish their primordial spirit, they can greatly slow down the dissipation speed of their soul. At least, they can persist for dozens of years. If they can refine the required elixir within this period, she may not be without the opportunity to fully recover.
Xiao Chen's face changed upon hearing the words, and he suddenly became gloomy, coldly snorting: "Fellow Daoist, do you think I'm a fool? Letting your primordial spirit enter my body, if you have ulterior motives, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into my home?" Xiao Chen resolutely refused this transaction. This mysterious woman had many tricks up her sleeve, and he couldn't tell what kind of methods she was waiting to use on him.
The mysterious woman's heart was filled with rage upon hearing this, and if she were in her prime during the Qi Refining stage, she could have slapped to death tens of thousands with a mere wave of her hand. Alas, being under someone else's roof now, she had to endure and persuade calmly: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured that I can make an oath using my Heart Demon, absolutely not bringing any harm to you, and I can offer some good faith first, believing it will greatly aid your cultivation."
"The Heart Demon Oath? Fellow Daoist, your entire body is filled with divine abilities and the magic of the demonic path, and your cultivation is deep and immeasurable. I suppose this small Heart Demon Oath has little to no effect on you. As for the sincerity you mentioned, even if it were truly beneficial to my cultivation, without guaranteeing my safety, it would be meaningless." Xiao Chen slowly shook his head, although his tone was calm, his resolute intention was extremely clear.
The mysterious woman felt a surge of anger in her heart upon hearing this, but what Xiao Chen said was also reasonable. The Heart Demon's oath had limited effect on her as well.
"Alright, what conditions would make you agree?" The mysterious woman calmed down a bit and looked at Xiao Chen with a faint gaze.
"Are you willing to offer me your soul and body, and let me put a seal on them? If so, I can guarantee your safety. Once the task is completed, I will naturally return your soul and body, and lift the seal. What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile.
As soon as Xiao Chen opened his mouth, the mysterious woman's face turned gloomy, and upon hearing the last part, she looked extremely displeased, saying sternly: "This is absolutely impossible!"
However, she suddenly turned pale and pitifully said to Xiao Chen: "My soul is heavily injured, if I can't enter the body of a cultivator again, I'm afraid I will dissipate soon. Can you bear to watch me die?" The woman's eyes were slightly red as she spoke, and her face had a hint of pitifulness, making it even harder for people to bear.
Xiao Chen saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also shaken. However, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and suddenly came to his senses, revealing a few points of fear in his heart. This woman's cultivation was terrifying, and her charm technique was not to be underestimated.
"Fellow Taoist, why bother with such tactics? I admit my cultivation is inferior, but my mind is resolute. Besides, if the situation were truly as you said, I'm afraid you wouldn't have wasted your time on me either." Xiao Chen's face remained unchanged, his tone calm and light.
The mysterious woman's pitiful expression instantly disappeared, and she couldn't help but feel a few points of headache in her heart. This little scoundrel is indeed detestable, being neither soft nor hard to deal with!
"Recognizing you as the leader is out of the question, Fellow Daoist, do you have any other proposals?"
Xiao Chen pretended to be thoughtful and slowly said: "As I am the main one, sign a life-and-death contract for ordering."
Something annoying happened last night, I didn't sleep well until midnight, and when I got up today, my head was still dizzy. The exam was also missed, what a tragedy! Please collect and comfort me with red tickets!
