"Are they about to make their move... Yihan, let's hurry and slip away?" Xu Xiaoxiao said uneasily upon seeing Elder Xue Sha's actions.

"indeed……"

"It's alright, they can't do anything to us, as long as you run fast enough." Xiao Han.

“They have a spirit beast called Xuanqi, which is incredibly fast…” Leng Zhenmo.

“Then…” A hint of killing intent flashed in Xiao Han’s eyes, “It would be good to kill him.”

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in shock, "Wait, Yihan, that's a twelfth-tier cultivator..."

The words she was about to say stopped abruptly. Looking at Xiao Han's calm expression, a bold idea popped into Xu Xiaoxiao's mind.

Even someone as strong as Qing obeys her... Could it be that Leng Yihan is the strongest of these three? Just how strong is she?

"Roar……"

"Xuanqi, don't rush. Those little ones are a bit strange. We must form the perfect encirclement before we can make a move, lest she escape again." Elder Blood Fiend reassured the somewhat anxious Xuanqi, but this still couldn't suppress the restless unease in his heart.

"Roar!" Xuanqi shouted anxiously, his gaze clearly fixed on the cute little girl surrounded by the three women.

"Hmm? That little one makes you feel uneasy?" Elder Blood Fiend looked at the little girl standing between the three women, probing her with his senses, but he couldn't sense anything.

"Feel it right... Leng Yihan..." Xiao Han said to Leng Yihan before they began.

"……Um."

"Create a spatial prison!" With a snap of his fingers, the Blood Fiend Elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly drew his sword, slashing at the 'air'.

"Creation. Ice Lance!" Leng Yihan was also startled. Most of the spiritual energy in her body evaporated instantly, and in exchange for this spiritual energy, an ice lance appeared in the sky.

"Additional: control, flight, speed, and power," Xiao Han said in one breath. Then, Leng Yihan knew that the main event was about to begin.

"Additional...hehe, a small-scale destruction." Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh, a mocking laugh that Xuan Qi and Elder Xue Sha both noticed.

In an instant, a layer of black substance covered the huge ice spear. Just then, a figure rushed out of the forest and threw several talismans at Elder Blood Fiend and Xuanqi.

These……

Leng Yihan was still a little taken aback.

Leng Yiran felt as if she herself was doing everything that had just happened, including Xiao Han's mental activities during creation and addition.

Even the final destruction, the complexity of the arrangement made Leng Yihan feel dizzy, but Xiaohan still completed it in an instant.

Leng Yihan's entire body, including Lu Youmei's spiritual energy, was instantly evaporated. Xiao Han's legs went weak and she fell down, only to be caught by Leng Zhenmo, who was quick-witted and agile.

"Hehe...Go!" With his last bit of strength, Xiao Han controlled the spear and shot it towards Elder Blood Fiend like a bullet leaving the barrel.

"Run..." Xiao Han said with her last bit of strength, her voice so soft that even Leng Zhenmo, who was standing right next to her, almost didn't hear her.

But I still heard it.

"Run!" Leng Zhenmo picked up Leng Yihan, who was relatively light, and turned to follow Xu Xiaoxiao, who was most familiar with the place and had been preparing to escape, as they sped away.

The ice spear struck Elder Blood Fiend and Xuanqi not far after they ran away.

The massive energy fluctuations still impacted the three of them, even though they were quite far away. If Qing hadn't reacted quickly and protected everyone, Leng Zhenmo and Xu Xiaoxiao would definitely have been injured.

"Quick! Arrest them!" Even with a group surrounding them, for the three who were still almost at their peak, stopping them without the help of stronger opponents was like a toad trying to eat a swan, a pipe dream.

Although she escaped death temporarily, Xiao Han still suffered a severe backlash due to the extreme depletion of her spiritual energy.

If it were just him alone, he might have been able to endure it through his own willpower.

But he knew that there was someone here who had never experienced this feeling before, and was suffering this torment.

"Sigh... Although I had choices, in the end, I still chose to submit to the original body..."

"What was the purpose of my existence in the first place...?"

-

"You were born for him from the very beginning, nothing more."

-

Hmph, is that your purpose...?

Never mind, as long as there's a purpose, that's fine.

Xiao Han thought to herself, and merged her entire body into Leng Yihan's body.

Go and bear that pain for him.

It was also because of him... that he devoured himself...

306 Opportunities

"It should be... alright now..." Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked behind her. No one was chasing after her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

“Even so… do you know where we are now, Sect Leader?” Leng Zhenmo’s lips twitched. How could she and Qing not see that Xu Xiaoxiao had basically been running around blindly, rushing towards wherever it was safe? If it weren’t for Leng Yihan’s shot that seriously injured their leader, they would probably all have been led into a trap by Xu Xiaoxiao by now…

"Huh? This... well..." Xu Xiaoxiao scratched her head awkwardly after hearing Leng Zhenmo's words. "Well... we've probably reached the border of the Xuanmen. The World Pillar originally appeared at the link between the Eight Gates. According to the direction we're running... we should still have some way to go before reaching the Imperial Gate, right?"

"Hmm? You actually recognized me?" Leng Zhenmo showed a hint of surprise.

"Why?! Why don't you believe me, the sect leader?! I've lived here for over twenty years since I was a child!" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Leng Zhenmo with a frustrated expression.

"He's an unreliable sect leader," Qing suddenly remarked from the side.

"Ugh! You actually said that about me too..."

“I say… let’s not rush on our way anymore,” Leng Zhenmo suddenly said.

"Why? If..." Qing Gang wanted to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly when he saw Leng Yihan in Leng Zhenmo's arms.

At this moment, Leng Yihan's face showed great pain, as if she was going through some great torment and would soon be unable to bear it any longer.

"Wait a minute! I'll go find a place to rest now," Xu Xiaoxiao said immediately after noticing Leng Yihan's condition.

"Please find a place with abundant energy. I'll see if I can alleviate Leng Yihan's pain for now," Qing said, a hint of anxiety on her face.

She was afraid that if Leng Yihan got into trouble, Lu Youmei would also get into trouble.

Leng Yihan might not care, but Lu Youmei...

No, Sister Lu...you absolutely can't get hurt...

-

"Phew... What a 'feast'... a feast from hell." Lu Youmei sighed as she looked at the tragedy in the soul space.

The entire soul space was now covered by a black flame that she couldn't name, and Leng Yihan was lying in the center of the flame, her face contorted in pain.

She herself was floating in mid-air in the soul space, sitting on the God-Sealing Coffin that imprisoned Lin Yin.

"Let me think about what to do now... If this continues, not only will Leng Yihan's life be in danger, but Lin Yin and I may also get hurt... It's like three lives on one bus..." Lu Youmei muttered, when suddenly a figure flashed before her eyes and pounced on Leng Yihan.

"...Hehe, it seems you don't need me anymore. You've already made up your mind to this extent. I'm afraid even this flame was something you deliberately created. Let me guess... it's to temper Leng Yihan's soul space so that he can better adapt to spiritual energy?" Lu Youmei muttered to herself, but no one answered her question.

Of course, no one will answer her question in the future.

"Ugh... Ahhhhh!" Accompanied by Leng Yihan's screams, the flames in the soul space grew even more intense, then spiraled out of Leng Yihan's body, slowly entering her body...

No, saying "enter" isn't quite clear.

"What exactly is this flame..." Lu Youmei narrowed her eyes. She could see that the flame did not enter Leng Yihan's body, but instead began to slowly imprint a layer of golden-red patterns along the inscription on Leng Yihan's soul body, right next to the white trace left by the Heavenly Dao Seal.

"It can actually form an inscription... What kind of flame is it... But at this rate... it might not be enough at all?"

Although Lu Youmei was unclear about the exact amount of energy, she had a good grasp of its potential. After some rough calculations, she concluded that it was not enough. Even if all the flames in the soul space were swallowed by Leng Yihan, it would not be enough to form a full-body imprint.

“Hmm… I can’t leave here now, otherwise Lin Yin will be in trouble… So how can I help him… or should I just watch this opportunity slip away…” Just as Lu Youmei was agonizing over this, something unexpected happened.

A surge of vibrant energy flowed into Leng Yihan's soul space. Under normal circumstances, this energy would repair the soul space very quickly, and might even bring Leng Yihan some significant benefits.

Unfortunately, this energy is now only serving as fuel for the enormous flames within the raging soul space.

"Is that Qing... You did a great job. I feel a little sorry for you, but hang in there a little longer, Leng Yihan."

-

Aaaaaah!!! It hurts so much!!! It hurts so much!!! How can it hurt so much!!! This excruciating pain—it's so painful! It's so painful! Help me! Someone please help me!!!

Anyone will do... Help me! Please help me! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!!!

"You're such a worry..."

Who is it?! Help me...help me...it hurts so much...

"...Hmph, don't worry."

"I was born for you."

-

"Hmm..." Leng Yihan's eyebrows twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion.

"Leng Yihan?! What's wrong with you! We could have left safely back then! Why did you do something so dangerous?!" Leng Yihan had just regained consciousness when Qing grabbed her collar and shouted angrily.

"...Huh?" Leng Yihan seemed a little dazed at first, but after being scolded by Qing, she suddenly became much more alert.

"What's with your bewildered reaction?!" Seeing Leng Yihan's clueless expression, Qing became even angrier.

“…” Leng Yihan did not reply, but just stared at Qing. The two of them just stared at each other without saying anything more.

As for Leng Zhenmo and Xu Xiaoxiao... they had long been driven away by Qing to patrol the area, leaving only him here to watch over Leng Yihan.

“You…”

"Qing, don't be angry, it's me."

Qing was about to continue cursing, but in the blink of an eye, Leng Yihan's eyes had turned crimson, and she was staring at her like that.

"...Huh? Sister..."

"I'm fine. This time it wasn't Leng Yihan's fault. I made him do it so I could better control his power. And Qing, the energy you just injected was very timely. If you hadn't, Leng Yihan might have missed a huge opportunity." Lu Youmei smiled slightly, reached out, and patted Qing's head. "What a good child~"

"Ugh!!!!!!!!!!" The blushing index skyrocketed. The test was complete. The target had crashed due to the excessive heat generated by excessive blushing and was now unconscious.

"Hehehe... Sister praised Qing..." Even in an unconscious state, Qing still maintained a look of being played with, muttering this to herself.

"Phew... Has this guy's anger finally been calmed down? I've only just woken up..." Leng Yihan sighed helplessly in her heart and complained to Lu Youmei.

"You're not bad either. You were able to adjust so quickly. Now you're acting like nothing happened. It seems you've grown," Lu Youmei said.
