After descending the mountain, my aloof fiancée became completely devoted to me.

Lin Ping chuckled softly, his eyes revealing a chilling intent.

The next second, the seemingly faint pure white spiritual light around him suddenly surged!

There was no earth-shattering power, no dazzling spiritual light, but this seemingly gentle aura spread out, and the dark evil energy raging in the bedroom instantly melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, like ice and snow meeting boiling water!

The black frost on the wall gradually faded away, and the biting cold instantly dissipated.

The earth vein yin energy that was just now rampant and domineering was so fragile and vulnerable in front of this wisp of energy!

Shen Aoxue trembled violently, her body tensed up, and the restless evil power within her was instantly suppressed. Even the domineering power of possession began to crumble step by step!

The dark light in her eyes flickered violently, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The evil power that was about to completely devour her consciousness was now forcibly forced back!

"This...this is impossible!"

The evil spirit, speaking through Shen Aoxue's mouth, let out an incredulous and furious roar, "Your spiritual power hasn't been depleted at all! You've been faking it all along?!"

From suppressing the evil forces to stabilize Shen Aoxue at the beginning, to taking Mo Qi's evil earth vein blade head-on, it seemed like she was barely holding on and suffering heavy losses throughout the whole process. But it turned out that it was all an illusion!

Lin Ping had been playing dumb all along, deliberately showing weakness and acting in accordance with the other party's scheme, letting Mo Qi provoke and wear him down, making the villain behind the scenes mistakenly believe that everything was under control!

Zhu Xiaohan looked up instantly, her eyes flashing with extreme surprise, and her tense body completely relaxed.

Alu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her bright eyes filled with admiration as she gazed intently at the tall, upright figure in front of her.

They knew that Mr. Lin, who dominated the city and suppressed the southern border, would never fall into the enemy's trap!

Lin Ping slowly approached the bed, his gaze fixed on Shen Aoxue, whose expression had changed drastically. His voice was cold and powerful: "Your master used the earth's veins to set up a scheme, using Mo Qi as bait, to exhaust my mind, break my defenses, and seize her soul."

"Since you want to play tricks, then I'll play along with your act."

How does it feel to watch your proudest game of chess crumble step by step?

Each word fell, its overwhelming force palpable.

Shen Aoxue's body trembled as the forces of good and evil clashed violently within her. Her remaining consciousness struggled to awaken, and her clear eyes looked at Lin Ping with difficulty, filled with endless grievance and pleading. Her voice was weak and fragmented: "Lin Ping... save me... I can't hold on much longer..."

In an instant, those eyes were once again shrouded in darkness, and the evil spirit's chilling voice rang out again: "Pretending! So what if your spiritual power is unharmed? I have already taken root deep within her soul, merging with the earth's yin energy! If you dare to purify me, it's tantamount to completely destroying her soul!"

"If you lay a hand on her, Shen Aoxue will be annihilated on the spot, her soul and spirit destroyed, never to be reincarnated!"

This is the villain's last trump card, and also an unsolvable dead end.

By using Shen Aoxue's life as a shackle, Lin Ping was tightly bound, making him hesitant to act rashly and dare not go all out.

In a deep valley a thousand miles away, the figure shrouded in black mist regained his composure, and a sinister laugh echoed from afar, penetrating through layers of space and reverberating throughout the bedroom:

"Lin Ping, I admit I underestimated you. Your acting skills are superb; you can fool everyone."

"But you can't break my trap!"

"Either watch helplessly as Shen Aoxue is completely possessed by me and becomes my puppet, or forcibly purify the evil and kill the woman you're protecting with your own hands."

"Give me a choice between two options. I'd like to see what you pick!"

The voice coming from afar was extremely arrogant, filled with absolute confidence.

With the southern Xinjiang landforms as the foundation and the symbiotic relationship between the soul and the body as the lock, he believed this game of chess was unsolvable!

Zhu Xiaohan looked anxious and said, "Sir! This evil spirit is bound to Miss Aoxue's soul. Forcibly purifying it will definitely damage its essence. We must not act rashly!"

Aru hurriedly added, "We can think of another way to slowly peel away the evil power. We mustn't act impulsively!"

The two women were filled with worry, fearing that Lin Ping might do something to harm Shen Aoxue in order to break the deadlock, or that he might be tightly controlled by the villain.

On the bed, Shen Aoxue's body alternated between hot and cold, her two personalities pulling at each other, causing her immense pain.

Lin Ping looked down at her pained expression, his killing intent growing stronger, yet he showed no hesitation whatsoever.

"Bound souls, symbiotic coexistence?"

He spoke calmly, then raised his right hand, his fingertips condensing into a point of pure white spiritual light. The aura was pure and domineering, yet extremely gentle, precisely avoiding Shen Aoxue's soul essence.

"Just because others can't remove evil spirits doesn't mean I can't."

"You relied on the earth's ley lines and yin energy to take root in her soul, thinking it was a sure kill, but in my eyes, it was nothing more than walking into a trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ping flicked his fingertips with a touch of magic, precisely landing on Shen Aoxue's brow.

hum-

A faint tremor echoed throughout the bedroom.

The next instant, countless fine white lights surged into her soul meridians from between her brows, gently yet domineeringly sorting out the chaotic power of her soul.

The originally rampant evil power was instantly stripped away and enveloped by the white light.

Shen Aoxue shuddered violently, the extreme pain on her face quickly subsided, and her chaotic breathing gradually calmed down.

The darkness in her eerie eyes faded at a visible speed, and a clear, gentle light slowly took over.

The ancient evil spirit hiding deep within her soul was now like a caged creature, struggling violently and raging wildly, but it could not escape the confinement of the white light.

"No! Impossible! How could you so precisely extract the evil energy from the earth's ley lines?!"

The evil spirit roared in terror, its voice filled with fear, all traces of its previous arrogance gone. "What is your cultivation level?! You're no ordinary urban grandmaster!"

In the deep valley a thousand miles away, the figure in the black mist became completely agitated, its evil aura raging wildly, and its tone was full of disbelief and horror!

The earth vein possession technique that he had spent years researching, the unsolvable soul death trap, was so easily broken by Lin Ping!

Lin Ping raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of night and across thousands of miles, locking onto the direction of the dark valley, his voice icy cold:

"What is my cultivation level?"

"You've laid countless deadly traps and exhausted your mind to scheme against me, yet you don't deserve to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly increased the pressure on his fingertips.

Inside the bedroom, a faint cracking sound came from Shen Aoxue's body. The evil power of the earth veins rooted deep in her soul collapsed in an instant!

In a dark, deep valley thousands of miles away!

puff--

The mysterious figure hidden in the black mist suddenly spat out a mouthful of pitch-black blood mist, the black mist around him violently dissipated, his body trembled repeatedly, and his soul suffered severe damage!

He was connected to the evil power of the earth veins and the parasitic evil spirits. When the evil power shattered, he instantly suffered a strong backlash!

"Lin Ping!!"

The mysterious man gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with boundless hatred, "You dare to destroy the foundation of my cultivation and ruin my plans! I will make you pay for this in blood!!"

The roar from afar shook the heavens and earth, and the killing intent swept across the vast southern border.

Inside the bedroom of Wutong Manor.

Shen Aoxue fully regained consciousness, her eyes clear and gentle, devoid of any trace of malice. She weakly raised her eyes, looking at the young man protecting her in front of her, her eyes slightly red, and weakly reached out to touch his sleeve.

Zhu Xiaohan and Alu breathed a long sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease, and relieved smiles appeared on their faces.

The crisis appears to be on the verge of being completely resolved.

But at that moment, Lin Ping's gaze suddenly darkened, and an extremely sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Shen Aoxue's brow and said in a deep voice, "Stop pretending."

"Your remaining disguise of your soul may fool others, but it cannot fool me."

"You have indeed stripped away the surface evil power, but your true trump card, your real power to possess, is still hidden deep within her soul."

Thousands of miles away, the severely wounded mysterious man suddenly stopped roaring, and a sinister laugh rang out again, filled with extreme madness and calculation:

"As expected of Lin Ping, he truly has discerning eyes!"

"That's right! The surface-level evil power is just a facade! The true primordial evil essence has already been integrated into her divine soul and bloodline!"

"You can break the game of chess, but you can't break fate! Three days from now, on the night of the full moon, the earth's veins in the Southern Frontier will be fully opened. I will use the power of the full moon to completely complete the ultimate possession!"

"At that time, Shen Aoxue will completely become me, and all the women around you will become sacrifices for my control of the Southern Frontier! Lin Ping, in three days, I will be waiting for you to die!"
