Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 325 Loose White Tea
Pei Lan has two misunderstandings.

First of all, what she spat out was not saliva.

Secondly, this was indeed a hard landing.

Even with the help of Zhen Gu, passing through the void still dried up his inner cauldron. At this moment, he could only condense an extremely weak spiritual power, which turned into a tiny cluster of light.

This precious glimmer of light allowed both of them to see their current situation clearly.

Pei Xia found himself straddling Ye Baicha's waist, and the woman beneath him... could hardly be called human anymore.

Starting from the back of Ye Baicha's head, about two-thirds of his skull was shattered into pieces, and half of his brain was smashed to pieces, with grayish-white fluid flowing out mixed with blood.

Her right arm was broken, the flesh was torn apart, and only scattered skin and flesh remained to cover the arm bone.

The chest appeared intact, but most of the internal organs had spilled out from the ruptured wound on the side.

As for Pei Xia's waist, only a bit of skin remained stubbornly attached to her lower body.

In Dongzhou dialect, this means he's already "fallen" (a slang term for being completely devastated).

Pei Xia slowly began to recall.

As they descended deeper into the void, the seemingly endless descent continuously drained their spiritual energy. The depth, far exceeding Pei Xia's expectations, caused both of their inner spiritual cauldrons to begin to empty.

He could only shield Ye Baicha in front of him, conserving his spiritual energy.

Even so, they couldn't hold on until they landed safely. In the end, Ye Baicha used her own body as a buffer, and with Pei Xia's terrifying physical strength, they barely made it to the bottom of the sealed town.

It was indeed a hard landing, and it's unlikely to be any harder.

Pei Xia didn't expect to be spat on by Ye Baicha. He reached out and wiped his face in a daze.

The substance on my fingertips wasn't saliva, or even blood; it was grayish-white and viscous, and it seemed to be brain matter.

I never imagined that in my lifetime I would be spat on with my brains.

Pei Xia stared blankly at the brain matter in her hand.

Pei Lan, who was lying on the ground, was even more confused.

As the light came on, she could see the face of the person on her back, and a strong sense of familiarity began to wash over her.

"Pei... Pei Xia?" She was a little unsure.

A call, almost ten years later, echoed in the unfamiliar and desolate depths.

Pei Xia was also stunned. After a very short hesitation, he suddenly reached out his hand.

He punched her head off!
Although his spiritual power was gone, his physical body remained. The force of this punch instantly sent Pei Lan's head flying off his neck, rolling around and landing dozens of feet away.

Ye Baicha had died long ago; the brain worm controlling her body was the Sea Patrol God. Therefore, Pei Xia was not surprised that she could still speak even though her body was shattered.

But whether Ye Baicha was alive or dead, Pei Xia never revealed her full name to her. The fact that she could call out her own name proves that this is definitely not Ye Baicha herself!

Hmph, little Rutao, you think you can hide such a big oversight from me?

Pei Lan was sent flying by a punch, caught off guard. As her head spun like a top, her vision moved so fast that her brain was literally shaken to its limit.

With a dull thud, his head fell to the ground some distance away.

Pei Lan, with her fiery temper, glared at Pei Xia with her head bowed: "You've really gotten bold these days, daring to even do this to me..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she saw the headless, scattered corpse on the ground and froze.

I...I'm dead?!
Pei Xia also noticed something was off; this Ye Baicha seemed a little too lifelike.

Needless to say, the brain worm would never be able to display such an expression.

If it was Ru Tao who was causing the trouble, in order to convince Pei Xia, it should be closer to the brain worm, or the consciousness of Ye Baicha herself.

A head, illuminated by the dim light, met Pei Xia's gaze. Pei Lan suddenly recalled the moment when she stood on the magical artifact and stared at the cultivator from the Long Whale Sect as she was about to leave the Liancheng Illusionary Realm.

With her keen observation, she immediately noticed that Pei Xia was wearing a gray robe with many tatters, and underneath the gray robe was the robe of an elder of the Long Whale Sect.

"You are... a Transcendent cultivator from the Long Whale Sect who came to participate in the Liancheng Illusion Realm?"

Ye Baicha's brows furrowed tightly: "Your face looks a lot like an old friend of mine. I don't remember you looking like this."

Pei Lan's words clearly aroused Pei Xia's suspicion as well. After a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time: "Who exactly are you?"

Taking a deep breath, Pei Lan, confident in her own integrity, spoke first: "I am Pei Lan from Yunhu Mountain."

This time it was Pei Xia's turn to frown. He replied with some doubt, "I am... Pei Xia."

"Which Pei Xia?"

"If you really are Pei Lan, you should remember Pei Xia."

The two were initially taken aback, but did not readily believe it. After a moment of silence, they asked in unison, "Who is Fu Hongshuang?"

"Bitch."

"Bitch."

Holy crap, it really is Pei Lan!

Pei Xia hurriedly scrambled off Ye Baicha and ran over to pick up her god-sister's head.

Resting her chin on her hand, Pei Xia stared at the face that was clearly Ye Baicha's, utterly bewildered: "How did you get involved?"

Pei Lan was naturally intelligent. Although she also had many doubts, she knew that asking each other questions at this time would not yield any answers. She followed Pei Xia's words and replied, "The illusion trial is over. We originally planned to return to Xiao Chen Kingdom. I was just telling you to use your magic weapon when things turned out like this."

As she spoke, she glanced down at the scattered corpses on the ground, her gaze lingering for a moment, especially on the chest: "This doesn't look like me either."

"It doesn't look like it; this is Ye Bai Cha (a type of tea)."

Pei Xia sighed. Since things had come to this, he could only quickly recount the whole story to Pei Lan after simplifying it: "...That insect was a treasure I obtained by chance. I controlled Ye Baicha's corpse to go deep into the sealed town with me. In this urgent situation, I had no choice but to sacrifice her."

At this point, Pei Xia suddenly paused, cupping Pei Lan's head in her hand, but her fingertips dug into the mushy brain matter from the back of her head.

In the murky, viscous substance, he touched something plump and soft, and pulled it out—it was the brain worm of the Sea Patrol God.

But at this moment, the insect was curled up and motionless; it was already dead.

Pei Lan glanced at his hands sideways: "What are you doing?"

Since Pei Xia mentioned Ye Baicha, she naturally also went on to recount the events surrounding the deaths of Zhao Jia and Zong Heng.

Pei Lan was naturally unaware of such a thing, but she couldn't afford to be sentimental at the moment.

"So, you mean we're currently in that cursed town of Fury?"

Pei Lan had, of course, heard about the calamity pig from Luo Chen.

She also knew that there was a cursed pig sealed in the Liancheng Fire Vein.

But even for the lofty Heavenly Consciousness Realm, this level of thing is almost a myth. Pei Lan never imagined that Pei Xia was plotting something so big!
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you so bored you're going to throw up? Why are you bothering with this thing?"

"I……"

The thought of that terrible thing lingered on her lips, but Pei Xia ultimately pursed her lips and swallowed it back: "Anyway, that's the situation. I'm fine, I was prepared, but you now..."

He looked at the head in his hand, then at the loose white tea on the ground.

"How about I try to put it back together for you?"
