How did that brat know she was dead?
Her spirit is powerful; this body clearly has no flaws...
The Grand Elder was so shocked that he was speechless.
It turns out that this really is an old witch who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
No!
The sect leader said that the old hag is dead, so what's going on with her now?
A soul?
The Grand Elder couldn't help but take a second look at the woman. In her current state, she was clearly a human, not a soul!
He was still certain of that.
Qi Chengshuo, who was standing next to Ye Xianya, was not surprised at all by this result.
“However, before we go out, I advise you to take off this skin first. If it breaks, it will scare people!” Ye Xianya said with a smile. “Things are different now than they were ten thousand years ago. There are mostly ordinary people now, and they are all very timid.”
After hearing Ye Xianya's words, Jiang Yi's eyes were filled with cold light.
She underestimated this girl; the girl actually knew all her secrets.
Have fortune tellers in this world become so powerful?
Can one know a person's past and future?
Can you even predict events from ten thousand years ago?
She had just seen Ye Xianya making calculations with her fingers.
"Now that you know all my secrets, then die!" After saying that, Jiang Yi pounced on Ye Xianya. Her body suddenly split open from her back, turning into a whole human skin, which she wanted to wrap around Ye Xianya.
Ye Xianya controlled the jade bone fan in her hand, ready to fight, when Qi Chengshuo had already charged forward with his sword.
However, Jiang Yi's spirit flew over again, and Ye Xianya and the Grand Elder immediately cast spells to fight her.
Her human skin, after being refined, was comparable to a powerful magical artifact.
Needless to say, the soul is incredibly solid, almost like a real person.
This was the first time Ye Xianya had encountered such a spirit.
Ancient artifacts that have existed for tens of thousands of years are indeed extraordinary.
However, Jiang Yi did not cultivate for tens of thousands of years. Her soul had been dormant until recently. During the earthquake, she devoured thousands of souls and recovered a lot of strength. If she had really cultivated for tens of thousands of years in a soul state, Ye Xianya and the others would definitely not be her match.
Now they had a fighting chance. Ye Xianya risked injury and unleashed a powerful burst of divine soul power, repelling Jiang Yi's soul.
In that instant, Jiang Yi's soul became even more transparent than before.
She looked at Ye Xianya in disbelief, gritted her teeth, quickly retracted her human skin, merged her soul into it, and flew away.
Qi Chengshuo suddenly threw the longsword in his hand.
This sword of his was a magical artifact that Ye Xianya brought from the Taiyi Sect, and it was extremely sharp.
As Jiang Yi was fleeing, his sword slashed across her back, leaving a wound.
She disregarded everything else and continued her escape.
Ye Xianya and the others naturally gave chase, only to discover that Flying Snow Valley was actually protected by a barrier.
By the time she broke through the barrier and brought Qi Chengshuo and the others out, Jiang Yi had already vanished without a trace.
"Sect Master, this demoness is too strange. Now that she has escaped, she will surely harm the world. We must catch her quickly," the First Elder said with a worried expression.
"I will calculate her location, and it would be best if we could predict her next stop in advance so we can wait for her to come to us," Ye Xianya said, and then used her mystical arts to make some calculations.
Jiang Yi was very powerful, and Ye Xianya could only make a rough estimate.
“She will go to Jichuan in three days. We’ll head there ahead of time,” Ye Xianya said, frowning.
All she could foresee was that Jiang Yi would go to Jichuan.
Jichuan is very large, and Ye Xianya did not calculate its exact location.
However, once she gets there, as time goes on, her calculations will become more and more accurate.
“Let’s pick the spiritual fruits and herbs in Flying Snow Valley and take them with us. No one has set foot in Flying Snow Valley for tens of thousands of years, and there are many treasures inside. It would be a pity not to take them,” Ye Xianya said with a smile as she turned her head.
With so many things, she can regain a lot of her strength.
"That demoness has been in this valley for tens of thousands of years. Why hasn't she touched these spiritual herbs and fruits? She even let us pick them before, so she doesn't seem to care about them," the elder said, puzzled.
"Because she doesn't need these things at all. Her human skin has been tempered to its peak and can't get any stronger. All she needs is a soul. Jiang Yi is a ruthless person. Ten thousand years ago, Flying Snow Valley encountered a great calamity. In order to defend against the enemy, she actually used evil magic to devour the flesh and souls of all the disciples in the valley, forcibly increasing her strength to defend against the enemy. As a result, the enemy was killed and Flying Snow Valley was saved, but she was also about to die."
"Before her death, Jiang Yi used evil magic to peel off her own skin and set up a magic array to temper the human skin. After her soul fell into a deep sleep, it woke up several times. Each time, she would devour a large number of human souls to nourish her own soul. Over the past ten thousand years, she has awakened more than ten times, each time more powerful than the last, and her soul has been almost repaired. As for her skin, due to years of tempering, it has long become a powerful magic weapon that can contain her soul and evade the detection of the rules of heaven and earth. As long as she wears this skin, she is no longer a ghost and can still use magic."
Qi Chengshuo and the Grand Elder were dumbfounded after hearing Ye Xianya's words.
“When she encounters a powerful enemy, she separates her soul from her human skin, which makes her even stronger.” Ye Xianya said, frowning deeply. “This demoness is extremely powerful. If she absorbs a large number of souls, even we will have difficulty subduing her. After we finish picking these spiritual fruits and herbs, let’s head to Jichuan.”
"Alright!" The Grand Elder nodded.
The three of them thoroughly searched Flying Snow Valley, picking many spiritual fruits and herbs, and even finding some spirit stones of good quality.
When they left Flying Snow Valley and returned the way they came, climbing up through the underground fissure, they realized it was already quite late.
Zhengzheng and the others had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing that Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo had returned unharmed, Zhengzheng immediately rushed over.
Ye Xianya briefly told them what had happened that day, and then set off for Jichuan.
Jichuan was a province in the eastern part of the Great Yan Dynasty, named after the Jichuan River that flowed through its territory.
As Ye Xianya traveled, she ate spiritual fruits and herbs. She no longer had time to refine pills, since she had already gained a lot this time and could increase her strength by eating them directly.
Of course, she couldn't forget Zhengzheng, so she ate while stuffing food into Zhengzheng's mouth.
When they finally arrived in Jichuan, both the human and the spirit beast were stuffed, their bodies filled with pure energy that had not yet been absorbed.
If I eat any more, I'm afraid I'll burst.
Ye Xianya dared not eat any more, but Zhengzheng became addicted. The little guy didn't even care about his life and wanted to eat a few more. Ye Xianya refused to give him any more, lest he really get sick from eating them.
Next, they need to completely absorb this energy and transform it into their own strength.
