Chapter 353 The Truth About Xueying: Devouring Heaven Ice Spirit Root

And part of the reason I came was because of him...

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Jiang Mingxin is dead."

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Your Highness means I did it?"

"No."

Yan Ling shook her head and smiled bitterly, her beautiful eyes staring at him quietly, as if observing his emotional changes.

"The day before yesterday, Wei Hao, a true disciple of Corpse Peak, admitted that he was the one who did it, and the news has already spread throughout Blood Abyss."

"Even the Blood Fiend One Yuan Gourd, which can only be obtained by a disciple, is in this person's hands, which shows that it is indeed related to him."

"That's really impressive."

Wang Yu gave a perfunctory reply and then said nothing more.

Yan Ling blinked and continued.

"I don't care whether he lives or dies. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wang remembers that you once asked Master Tantai to deliver a secret letter from Jiang Mingxin."

Yes, that's true.

Yan Ling turned around.

He walked to the edge of the viewing platform and looked at the howling wind and snow outside.

"After that secret letter, I established contact with Jiang Mingxin and reached a cooperation agreement on one matter. Fellow Daoist Wang, do you know Wei Hao?"

Having said that much, Wang Yu roughly understood Yan Ling's meaning and immediately smiled.

“Yes, I know him. Back when the Battle of Zhuyue Prefecture broke out on the border of Yunling Prefecture, Fellow Daoist Wei Hao stayed at my Guiling for a few days to gather intelligence about the area.”

"That's good."

Yan Ling turned around, stared into his eyes again, and smiled playfully.

"In Jiang Mingxin's storage ring, there is a platinum token with the character 'Saint' engraved on it. If Fellow Daoist Wang can retrieve it, Yan Ling has an opportunity waiting for you."

"oh--"

Wang Yu asked curiously.

"Is it something you two collaborated on before?"

"yes."

"Let's discuss it again once we get it."

Watching the person leave, Wang Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The fact that Jiang Mingxin was willing to pay the price and take the initiative to approach Yan Ling shows that Yan Ling has an indispensable "attribute"—this matter cannot be accomplished without her.

Otherwise, there's no need to go to such lengths; the Jiang family has quite a few talented people.

Yan Ling took the initiative to find Wang Yu this time, so it shouldn't be because she can't do anything without him. Considering the clue about Wei Hao, the problem is most likely related to the Saint Token.

But the fact that they weren't afraid of being double-crossed is something worth pondering.

After a brief consideration, Wang Yu decided to leave the Blood Abyss before going to find Wei Hao. This cooperation was currently only optional and there was no rush to finalize it.

After finding a secluded corner on Crimson Snow Mountain and replenishing the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet to its full strength, he hurriedly descended the mountain.

This time, we're going to find traces of the demon.

This massacre and collection of the Blood Essence of Ten Thousand Spirits took him more than a month. He only returned after filling the Blood Fiend One Yuan Gourd with it, thus completing another round of cultivation.

Ever since Yan Ling returned, there has been an extra person near the summit of Crimson Snow Mountain. He often sits cross-legged with Wang Yu on the mountaintop, absorbing the Frozen Soul Wind for cultivation. The distance between them is neither too far nor too close.

Occasionally, after finishing their practice, they would exchange a few words.

Or they would have a small competition to verify their own growth, and life was relatively peaceful. This kind of life lasted for nearly two years.

Until a cultivator whom Wang Yu had almost forgotten about appeared before him, it was none other than Xue Ying!

Before coming in, he was thinking of taking the opportunity to resolve the matter.

After all, someone who deliberately approached him, and who also had an old grudge against him, was truly uneasy. If Xueying hadn't stayed on Cold Blood Peak all year round, it would have been a great relief.

He had been looking for an opportunity to strike for a long time.

Because Wang never listens to evidence; his motto is to kill anyone he senses as soon as he detects malice.

in addition.

It is true that he coveted Xueying's Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root, and under various factors, he inevitably had some thoughts about it.

She came to see Wang Yu with Yan Ling.

The moment she saw him, Xueying excitedly rushed over, grabbed Wang Yu's arm, and clamped it between her soft, bouncy, and vulgar member.

Her voice was also soft and weak.

"Brother Wang, Xueying has finally found you."

Yan Ling's eyes twitched, seemingly surprised that her younger sister Xueying had this side to her, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Wang Yu deliberately rubbed closer, and the immense force immediately made it difficult for Xue Ying to breathe, turning her neck pink.

Yan Ling clearly misunderstood the relationship between the two.

Helplessly, she rubbed her forehead, forgetting everything she was supposed to say, and silently walked away... She wasn't needed here; she was quite perceptive in this matter.

For a moment, only the two of them remained in this secluded place.

Wang Yu turned his head to look at her and saw a hint of shyness and bashfulness in her delicate, moist eyes, and a cold smile crept across his face.

Still pretending?

He then leaned closer, pressing his head against the cool, icy cheek.

He whispered in her ear, "Xueying, is nobody here?"

Her curvaceous and exquisite body suddenly stiffened, realizing that Wang Yu meant something.

Her legs immediately intertwined and clamped together, while one hand gently stroked her lower abdomen.

Her face flushed red.

"You can do whatever you want!"

"Then... how about giving it a try?"

"Hmm~"

Wang Yu suddenly exerted force, clamping his neck tightly, and dense ice chains extended from behind, stretching his limbs into a spread-eagle position.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of black mist, which seemed to be mixed with endless evil thoughts. It instantly poured into Xueying's body, forcing her to gasp for breath and widen her eyes.

"What...what do you want to do?"

She seemed completely unprepared for this outcome. As she struggled, a shadow suddenly fell upon her, and she looked up.

Then they discovered a nine-story glazed pagoda, which suddenly appeared and covered them.

The powerful suppressive force and the binding incantations on the ice chains left her completely powerless, and her heart sank to the bottom. She was in deep trouble.

He secretly groaned after hearing the rumors of the Blood Demon Sea.

She shouldn't have tried to use Wang Yu's power; this time she really became a fool who offered herself up.

Inside the bottom layer of the Glazed Ice Heart Tower, Wang Yu stood in front of the woman, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Xueying stared at him blankly, her face filled with grief and indignation at being deceived.

It was as if he never expected him to be this kind of person. His acting skills were superb, but he lacked some understanding of human nature. Otherwise, he might have really been fooled.

"Since you won't tell us, we'll just have to watch it anyway and bear with it."

That's all.

A dark vortex appeared behind Wang Yu, and black paper boats carrying the aura of fourth-order divine consciousness swiftly swam out, which was the Great Completion stage of the Soul-Slaying Evil Boat Curse.

The terrifying aura almost made Xueying scream.

"--Don't!

"I'll tell you everything. What do you want to know?"

A large number of black paper boats hovered near Xueying's delicate body. Wang Yu strode forward, grabbed her chin, and forcibly lifted her head.

He stared into her eyes and said.

"How did you acquire your Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root?"

"It's innate! It's innate!"

"lie."

Wang Yu's eyes were cold and stern. One after another, black paper boats pierced through Xue Ying's body without hesitation, and the intense pain almost tore her soul apart.

Some memories have even begun to fade.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his body convulsed uncontrollably, and his eyes rolled back in his head.

"--No!"

Fortunately, Wang Yu controlled the power of the Soul-Snatching Evil Boat.

This made him realize that he might need a special interrogation technique, as the soul-searching secret art was not a panacea.

A cultivator's weakness in their will is easier to break than a restriction placed in their mind; of all strategies, attacking the mind is the best.

The malicious attack of the Soul-Stealing Evil Ship paused briefly.

The memories he brought back were irrelevant, so Wang Yu continued to ask, "Tell me... how did you acquire your Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root?"

"It is a rare treasure..."

Xueying was panting heavily, her pitiful appearance easily evoking feelings of regret, but unfortunately Wang Yu had been a corpse for sixty years.

It's hard to say about other aspects, but he's very good at controlling his desires.

Having lost it before, it's easier to control than you might imagine.

"What rare treasure?"

"The Heavenly Frost Qi... was so concentrated that it formed a liquid state. Just a single drop of it sublimated my original superior ice spirit root, allowing it to evolve to the top grade level."

"Frost Qi?"

Wang Yu frowned in thought. This was a legendary treasure, also known as the "Heavenly Frost Chill," a divine object that could help those with damaged spiritual roots establish their foundation.

In terms of quality, it is similar to the [Eternal Life Treasure Branch] that Jin Miaoshan once presented, but the treasure branch is more significant, since there is a chance to grow the [Ancient Tree of Life].

Its value to the power structure far exceeds that of an individual.

The Heavenly Frost Qi was slightly inferior, but it was still a rare treasure of heaven and earth that had long since disappeared. He didn't know whether it could be used to upgrade the quality of his spiritual root.

But it is indeed possible, not to mention that the Heavenly Frost Qi, condensed into liquid, is truly a rare treasure. Using it to advance one's spiritual root would be a waste.

If used to enhance magical artifacts or supernatural powers, its effects would be even greater.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu immediately asked.

"Where did you get it? Do you have any more?"

Xueying took a few breaths and said.

"It's all used up. It was an opportunity that our ancestor discovered in the Endless Ice Plains, in a place called Everfreeze Mountain, which is said to have existed since ancient times."

"Still not behaving yourself."

Seeing those deadly black paper boats about to attack, Xueying was extremely anxious: "Everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

The atmosphere immediately quieted down, and seeing that the black paper boats had stopped, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's change the question: Why do you want to harm me?"

"I?"

Xueying looked incredulous, then looked down at herself, as if to say, "Someone like me, would I want to harm you?"

This is probably a joke.

"You deliberately approached me, weren't you trying to harm me?"

Xueying said pitifully.

"Wang Yu...you've misunderstood. I just like you. You're overreacting."

Although she said that, Xueying knew very well what was going on in her heart.

If she were to actually tell him, she would surely die today. No matter how beautiful she is, she would not be able to survive in this man's hands.

The attitude of demonic cultivators towards their enemies has always been to eliminate them completely and prevent future troubles.

Her purpose in approaching Wang Yu was quite simple.

Back then, the apex of her bloodline, her great-grandfather, Master Feixue, unexpectedly passed away at the entrance of the Cold Pool, and she was his direct heir.

They rushed over immediately.

Sensing something was amiss, the death aura emanating from my great-grandfather was far too intense; despite not having been dead for long, his body was already stiff and decomposing rapidly.

This is illogical.

The meticulous Xueying secretly began to investigate, and the most suspicious person was Wang Yu, who had entered the Cold Pool at that time. This information was easy to find.

It was their first meeting, and they had no prior grudges against each other.

Furthermore, since Master Feixue had indeed reached the age of passing away, no one doubted it, which made it seem like just a minor accident.

She inherited her great-grandfather's storage ring, from which she obtained a portion of liquid Heavenly Frost Qi, an inheritance that the great-grandfather hadn't even had time to pass on to her.

This indicates that Master Feixue felt he still had time before his passing away.

Realizing this only deepened her suspicions.

Many years have passed.

In the end, they found the source in Lord Wang, so after he returned to the sect, they took the initiative to create a chance encounter outside the Cold Blood Dojo.

Revenge is her goal.

But that's by no means all!

This matter must never be spoken of, so even if she suffers even more torment, she must not utter a word. But Wang Yu's next words sent chills down her spine.

"It seems you guessed that Feixue died at my hands."

Xueying said with difficulty.

"I don't know what you're talking about. My great-grandfather passed away peacefully."

"No."

Wang Yu shook his head.

"I guessed you guessed it too. No evidence is needed; this suspicion is enough."

"Back then, your grandfather coveted the Cold Pool Token in my possession, probably to ask for it for you. If you can use this Heavenly Frost Qi in the Cold Pool, its effects will be maximized."

"You kill me, I kill you, when will this cycle of revenge end?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sea of ​​blood and gore appeared around Wang Yu, and a terrifying killing intent soared into the sky. A blood-red fist imprint slammed into Xue Ying's mind.

A single tear fell onto her stunningly beautiful face.

There was nothing more to say.

The descending Asura Killing Fist paused for a moment before finally landing, accompanied by an invisible shattering sound, utterly destroying Xueying's soul.

The demonic seed planted within her body rapidly absorbed these fragments of the mind, growing at an astonishing pace. Within a few breaths, it matured to the point where the demonic embryo could devour it.

With a gentle inhale, Wang Yu devoured a large amount of life essence, along with the Heavenly Ice Spiritual Root.

The mutated water elemental root within the demonic fetus rapidly extended its ice-attribute light, merging seamlessly with the black Yin elemental root.

In an instant, Wang Yu's affinity for the ice-attribute power in the world surged, and the power of ice-based divine abilities and techniques in his hands also underwent a qualitative leap.

Ice, Yin, Metal, and Fire have all reached the Heavenly Spiritual Root level.

Only the wood and earth elemental roots are missing. Although these two are rare, they are not uncommon in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. There are generally one or two Heavenly Spiritual Roots in the Nine Peaks.

If you really can't find it, or it's hard to know where to start.

Fu Xiao has accumulated so many more years of experience; he might have even acquired a Heavenly Spiritual Root with other attributes, which is also a gain to look forward to.

Looking again at Xueying's withered corpse, her soul gradually dissipated.

Wang Yu thought for a moment and decided not to further search the soul to extract all its value.

That's all.

Leaving the other person's soul with the possibility of reincarnation is the only remaining act of kindness.

After tidying up the Glazed Ice Heart Tower, Wang Yu was stunned.

Because Yan Ling was standing on a small hill in the distance, quietly watching him.

"Cough cough—"

"Your Highness Yanling, she has some old grudge against me and deliberately approached me..."

"No need to explain to me."

It's hard to say for sure. After all, it's common knowledge that he cultivated the Demon Embryo Secret Curse. Only Yan Ling herself knows what she thinks.

"Fine."

Xueying's storage ring was taken by Wang Yu, and her withered corpse gradually turned into dust as the Ice Dragon Flame burned, scattering with the wind.

Another old matter has been settled.
