Chapter 1041 Sealing the Spirit
Hu Yunni scolded, "Senior Brother Miao!"

She could see through Miao Qingjie's little scheme.

This was to prevent the sect from keeping the remains and thus claiming them as their own.

He couldn't wait to refine it into his own; even if he handed it over to the sect, it would still belong to him.

Miao Qingjie laughed heartily: "Junior sister, it's alright, I can complete the refining quickly without damaging it!"

Hu Yunni said irritably, "Can you really do it?"

Leng Tieya stared intently at Miao Qingjie, who was enveloped in golden light. He raised his chin, his face full of smiles, and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss Hu, something seems off about Young Master Miao."

Hu Yunni said bitterly, "They become arrogant when they get ahead; most of them are like that!"

She had seen too many people like this: cautious, humble, and careful in ordinary times, but once they gained power, they became extremely arrogant.

Leng Tieya shook his head: "Are these remains alright?"

"What's the problem?" Hu Yunni asked.

Leng Tieya said, "Since it has a spirit, it might affect one's mind, right?"

Hu Yunni frowned slightly, stared at Miao Qingjie, and then turned to look at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya shook his head and said, "Anyway, I feel something is strange."

Hu Yunni said, "Senior Brother Miao was always like this; a spiritual artifact cannot change the mind of its master!"

Leng Tieya floated closer to Miao Qingjie, clasped his hands in a fist and smiled: "Congratulations, Young Master Miao, you have finally achieved your wish, a cause for celebration!"

"Haha..." Miao Qingjie laughed loudly, and the golden light around him surged: "This time, thanks to you, Mr. Sun, you have been a great help. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly this time. Come with me back to Zhaixing Cliff and we will study this treasure together!"

"Then thank you very much, Young Master Miao!" Leng Tieya said with a smile, then flashed behind him and slapped him on the back.

"stop!"

"you……"

The experts from the surrounding Star-Picking Cliff were shocked and enraged upon seeing this, and they shouted out in alarm.

Hu Yunni narrowed her bright eyes, her body swayed slightly before coming to a stop.

"boom!"

Miao Qingjie turned around and met Leng Tieya's left palm with his right palm.

His turn was incredibly fast, as if he had always been standing there.

The experts at Zhaixing Cliff all stared wide-eyed.

They had never seen Miao Qingjie move and use his palm techniques with such incredible speed.

With a muffled thud, Leng Tieya was sent flying, hovering in the air for more than ten steps before shouting, "Miss Hu!"

Hu Yunni moved swiftly, gracefully appearing behind Miao Qingjie. She struck out with her jade palm, seemingly slow but actually fast, so fast that it was almost impossible to dodge.

"Junior Sister Hu, are you also plotting against me?!"

Miao Qingjie turned around abruptly, his right palm meeting her jade palm, and a "bang" sound was heard from a distance of one foot.

Hu Yunni gracefully stepped back, her jade-like face covered with a layer of frost: "Senior Brother Miao, what's going on?!"

Miao Qingjie laughed triumphantly: "Junior Sister Hu, you can't outsmart me!"

"Junior Brother Miao!"

"Junior Brother Miao!"

……

The other experts from Zhaixing Cliff also realized something was amiss.

Miao Qingjie's arrogant behavior is very strange.

Even if one obtains the remains and fulfills one's wish, one should not be so arrogant.

Retrieving the remains doesn't mean acquiring some extraordinary skill or technique. Besides, they are disciples of Zhaixing Cliff, so they don't lack such extraordinary skills or techniques.

It all seems abnormal.

Hu Yunni snorted, "Let's all attack together and capture Senior Brother Miao!"

"Yes, yes, let's take it first and then talk about it."

"Senior Brother Miao, please forgive me!"

"Senior Brother Miao, give up."

The eight experts from Zhaixing Cliff readily agreed and rushed towards Miao Qingjie.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A burst of golden light erupted, and the hand on Miao Qingjie's right palm emitted an even stronger golden glow.

The golden light made Miao Qingjie incredibly fast and greatly increased his strength, knocking away all eight experts from Zhaixing Cliff.

"Ha ha……"

Miao Qingjie stood in the void, laughing loudly, his body bathed in golden light, like a god.

Leng Tieya stood on the riverbank, shaking his head repeatedly.

Has Miao Qingjie already been possessed?

That's a real shame, I did remind myself.

Giving a reminder is enough to show my sincerity.

"on!"

"Take down Junior Brother Miao!"

The experts from Zhaixing Cliff, who had flown into the air, continued to pounce on Miao Qingjie.

Hu Yunni landed beside Leng Tieya, her face shrouded in frost, and said indifferently, "Mr. Sun, do you have a solution?"

Leng Tieya frowned and said, "Young Master Miao's power comes from those remains, right? We need to get rid of the remains first, but once we do, they will escape."

Hu Yunni frowned slightly: "If we don't remove the remains, won't they continue to affect Senior Brother Miao?"

"That's how it should be."

"How can we separate the remains from Senior Brother Miao without letting it escape?"

"I can't figure out what idea Miss Hu has?"

Hu Yunni pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "First, sever Senior Brother Miao's arm, lock the remains, and then reattach Senior Brother Miao's arm."

Leng Tieya was taken aback.

Hu Yunni said, "This is the only way."

"That young master Miao's arm..."

Hu Yunni said, "With the Flying Dragon Rebirth Powder, one can be restored to their original state."

Leng Tieya looked on with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Hu Yunni said, "With the Flying Dragon Transformation Powder combined with the unique secret technique, Senior Brother Miao's arm will not be affected, and may even be better than before."

"No wonder it's called Star-Picking Cliff." Leng Tieya exclaimed, "Incredible."

How could there be no impact after an arm is broken and then reattached?

Not to mention the blood vessels, muscles, and bones, the more important thing is that the meridians are also damaged, which may be twisted or misconnected, leading to a complete mess.

Even if one uses extrasensory perception to perfectly align the meridians and bloodline meridians, there will inevitably be future problems.

A broken piece that is then reconnected is fundamentally different from one that was never broken in the first place.

Hu Yunni said, "The Flying Dragon Transformation Powder is a rare medicine even within the sect. We have no choice this time... Let's just do it this way. We need Mr. Sun's help."

Leng Tieya hurriedly said, "Didn't I cut off Young Master Miao's arm?"

Hu Yunni said, "Your swordsmanship is superb; we can only rely on you now."

Leng Tieya hurriedly waved his hand: "If you really want to cut off Young Master Miao's arm, how can I be tolerated at Zhaixing Cliff? Miss Hu, you may not be able to protect me either."

"I didn't really intend to harm Senior Brother Miao; I just wanted to lend him a hand!" Hu Yunni frowned slightly, glaring at him with displeasure. "Why can't I protect you? Are you just wary of me?"

“It still won’t work.” Leng Tieya shook his head with a bitter smile, his expression resolute.

Hu Yunni was always on guard against him, and he was naturally on guard against Hu Yunni as well.

Even the strongest extrasensory perception cannot see into people's hearts; the human heart is as deep as an abyss, and we must be wary of it.

"What a coward!" Hu Yunni snorted. "Fine, then you take the Spirit Sealing Ring!"

Leng Tieya breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Spirit Sealing Ring?"

Hu Yunni took off a silver ring from her slender finger and handed it to Leng Tieya: "This is it. Once you touch it, you can activate your inner power and put it into the ring."

The silver ring, covered in intricate patterns and flawlessly bright, made his slender fingers appear even more smooth and white, like jade. Leng Tieya took it.

The silver ring carries a faint fragrance and a touch of warmth.

He first focused his mind to sense if there was any danger.

Then I put it on my left little finger.

“Concentrate on it, and there’s a method to it,” Hu Yunni said.

Leng Tieya nodded, a mantra already appearing in his mind—the method of circulating demonic energy.

As it circulated, he felt himself becoming one with the Spirit Sealing Ring.

I felt a space, a space that was ten meters long, ten meters wide, and ten meters high.

“If this spirit-sealing ring works,” Leng Tieya said, looking up, “Miss Hu, you can just go forward directly. There’s no need to cut off your arm, is there?”

"It needs to be an unclaimed item, without any spiritual connection. Even if you knock Senior Brother Miao unconscious, you still can't take it in."

"What if Young Master Miao hadn't refined it beforehand..."

"There's no need to cut off his arm now, just take it."

“That’s… a pity,” Leng Tieya sighed, “then this is the only way.”

"That's the only way!" Hu Yunni said impatiently, "Let's begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she flashed away, her long sword already drawn, turning into a streak of light that shot towards Miao Qingjie.

Miao Qingjie turned around, his eyes flashing with golden light, and slapped the tip of the sword down with his right palm.

"Clang..." The sword trembled, and Hu Yunni was struck as if by lightning. Her body went numb and she could not move.

She had a bad feeling.

Miao Qingjie's palm strike was far more powerful than before, and its strange force caused her to become paralyzed and unable to move, watching helplessly as another palm strike was aimed at her brow.

"Ding……"

Suddenly, a sword appeared in front of her brow, blocking the golden-glowing hand; it was Leng Tieya's sword that had arrived.

He placed one hand on Hu Yunni's back and used the other hand to wield his sword to block the golden palm.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

Golden light enveloped his palm with incredible speed, and Leng Tieya's sword was also incredibly fast, with a dense chorus of clear chimes ringing in Hu Yunni's ears.

Hu Yunni suddenly broke free from Leng Tieya's grasp and drew her sword as well.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The two swords formed two beams of sword light that enveloped Miao Qingjie, but were blocked by his right palm, which was shrouded in golden light.

The sounds of swords clashing against palms were crisp and frequent.

Seeing this, the other eight experts from Zhaixing Cliff rushed over and attacked Miao Qingjie from behind.

Miao Qingjie flashed away, escaping the range of Leng Tieya and Hu Yunni's sword light, and appeared next to the eight experts from Zhaixing Cliff the next moment.

He struck with lightning speed, sending them flying one by one, spitting out arrows of blood in mid-air before crashing heavily into the river and disappearing without a trace.

Hu Yunni and Leng Tieya hurriedly chased after him, and once again, a dense barrage of sword light enveloped him.

Hu Yunni felt a deep sense of despair.

I never expected Miao Qingjie's footwork and palm techniques to be so advanced.

This kind of improvement is too alarming.

It was as if it wasn't Miao Qingjie, but another expert.

Leng Tieya sighed as he brandished his sword, "If this continues, he'll take care of us all."

The vibrations from the sword caused a tingling sensation throughout his body, a result of Miao Qingjie's unusual palm strike.

If this continues, they will both lose the ability to wield their swords.

Hu Yunni pursed her lips and remained silent, wielding her sword with lightning speed, her bright eyes sparkling.

Leng Tieya said, "If it doesn't work, let's retreat first."

Miao Qingjie's current power clearly originates from the remains, but judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have been possessed.

This is really strange.

Since we are outmatched, it's best to retreat and see what happens next.

Hu Yunni rolled her eyes at him: "Senior Brother Miao is so strange, how can we retreat!?...Mr. Sun, please lend me a hand!"

"What should we do?"

Hu Yunni said, "Please hold off Senior Brother Miao for a moment, I need to use a secret technique."

“Okay.” Leng Tieya readily agreed.

He was very curious about what secret technique Hu Yunni had used to turn the tide in this situation.

Hu Yunni suddenly retreated and landed on the shore, her left hand pointing her sword at her brows.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The dense, clear chirping sound never ceased.

Leng Tieya swung his sword with all his might, bearing all the pressure from Miao Qingjie.

At this moment, Miao Qingjie's eyes had turned reddish-yellow, and his expression was cold, as if he did not recognize him. His palm strikes were fierce and incredibly fast.

The experts from Zhaixing Cliff, who emerged from the river a hundred meters away, flew over and were amazed by Leng Tieya's swordsmanship.

To be able to block such a palm strike, Mr. Sun's swordsmanship is truly astonishing.

As Leng Tieya swung his sword, he looked at Hu Yunni in the cave and saw her left index fingertip shine like a star as she gently touched the blade.

The longsword was covered with a layer of dark blue light.

She solemnly raised her sword, her eyes shining like cold stars, mirroring the brilliance of the blade.

"laugh!"

She appeared behind Miao Qingjie the next moment.

Miao Qingjie's left arm had already left his shoulder and was falling downwards.

Leng Tieya realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, catching the severed arm with his left hand.

With a flash of the sealing ring, the severed arm disappeared.

It has already appeared within the space of the Spirit Sealing Ring.

"what--!"

A scream rang out as Miao Qingjie clutched his shoulder in agony.

The golden light around him vanished instantly, and his face turned deathly pale.

Hu Yunni stepped forward, sealed the acupoints on his shoulder, and said loudly, "Arm."

Leng Tieya took out the severed arm and handed it to Hu Yunni.

Only the remains remained within the space of the sealing ring.

Hu Yunni was expressionless, surrounded by a strange majesty, like a goddess.

She took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, gently flicked it with her jade fingers, and poured the rouge inside directly onto the exposed white bones of the severed arm.

The red powder, once it landed on the white bones and flesh, quickly solidified into a thick, gelatinous substance, resembling jelly.

She shouted, "Senior Brother Miao, don't move!"

He pressed the severed arm directly onto the man's shoulder and said, " channel your energy into the arm!"

Miao Qingjie was pale, haggard, and listless, a far cry from his previous appearance.

He followed the instructions and channeled his energy; the cut on his shoulder immediately began to glow faintly.

"Keep circulating your internal energy," Hu Yunni snorted, "Flying Dragon Transformation Powder."

Miao Qingjie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to circulate his energy in his arms to clear his meridians.

When the meridians are unblocked, the bones, muscles, and blood vessels will naturally be corrected.

Knowing the wondrous uses of the Flying Dragon Transformation Powder, he was no longer worried about the arm and looked at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya took off the silver ring and handed it to Hu Yunni, then smiled at Miao Qingjie and said, "Young Master Miao, what's going on? Is there something strange about these remains?"

"Sigh..." Miao Qing gave a dejected, bitter smile: "I really didn't expect this..."
