Chapter 83, Chapter 83, Relapse
"Elder Si Yao!"
As she fell, Si Yao could still hear Song Yuening calling from above.
"Master, look! Elder Si Yao has fallen! Please save her!"
Song Yuening's voice grew softer and softer until the ground above Si Yao's head was sealed off, but she still hadn't received any help from Jiang Cifeng and Song Yuening.
Fine... She never intended to associate with Jiang Cifeng and his apprentice anyway.
Si Yao squinted and looked around. This space was also a lush ancient forest.
That strange formation separated many spaces, its purpose being to separate Si Yao and her group.
In the woods, the light was dim, and through the interlacing leaves, the sky had turned a deep red.
A strange aura came from behind her, and Si Yao quickly summoned the Yan Yun Palm Fan.
She turned around abruptly and saw a man in black approaching her.
She recognized the man's aura; he was the same black-clad man she had fought before.
Si Yao didn't know that this person's name was Wei You. She only remembered that before she parted ways with Li Ye, Li Ye had said that this person might have discovered something about her, otherwise he wouldn't have attacked her first time and time again.
Before this, Si Yao still had the ability to fight him.
However, at present, Si Yao's cultivation level has been suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage, while the opponent's Golden Core is already one level higher than hers.
Wei You gripped the demonic blade tightly and walked towards Si Yao step by step.
Sensing the suppression of the other party's demonic energy, Si Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she was thinking about how to escape from his sight.
Unexpectedly, Wei You asked, "Are you a demon?"
Si Yao's eyes flickered, then she shook her head.
However, Wei You did not believe it and insisted, "You have the aura of a demon on you."
Upon hearing this, Si Yao couldn't help but use her divine sense to examine her dantian, where Li Ye's primordial spirit resided.
Is that why the other party suspects she is a demon?
Seeing that Si Yao was still pondering, Wei You continued, "You and His Majesty..."
At this point, he immediately changed his question, "What is your relationship with Li Ye?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Si Yao's expression was calm, but her hands unconsciously tightened their grip on the Yan Yun palm-leaf fan. "Who is he? How could he have anything to do with me?"
Wei You was wearing a mask, so Si Yao couldn't see his face or expression. The only thing she could sense was his hurried voice.
"You're lying!" Wei You exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion. "Are you perhaps an illusion he created, or one of his clones?"
It seems that Wei You has finally sensed the primordial spirit of Li Ye residing in Si Yao's body.
But Si Yao had no intention of admitting it. "I am a human. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why give me these strange titles?"
"Hmph..." Wei You snorted heavily, "This formation I set up will only work on Li Ye."
"So what does this have to do with me?" Si Yao remained adamant.
Wei You said, "The fact that your cultivation is suppressed is the best proof."
Upon hearing this, Si Yao's breath hitched. According to Wei You, besides her cultivation level dropping by one level, could it be that Li Ye's cultivation level was also suppressed in some other space?
I wonder how he is doing right now...
"Prepare to die!"
Wei You raised the demonic blade in his hand and slashed at Si Yao, "No matter who you are, whether you are his clone or not, you may be the key to his reincarnation!"
Si Yao quickly retreated. She realized that the man in black in front of her was most likely Li Ye's enemy from the Demon Realm.
Perhaps this person was somewhat involved in Li Ye's death.
"You can't escape!" Wei You was enveloped in demonic energy, and the demonic blade in his hand unleashed a powerful red flame.
Yan Yun's palm-leaf fan transformed into a barrier, enveloping Si Yao and allowing her to temporarily evade Wei You's attack.
However, this is not a foolproof solution. If they cannot escape this place in time, even if they fight Wei You to the death, Si Yao will not be a match for him.
"Bang bang bang—"
Wei You's attack continued, and the barrier protecting Si Yao wouldn't hold for long.
finally--
Under Wei You's repeated attacks with spells, the barrier shattered.
A burst of black and red energy light exploded in the air as Wei You delivered a fatal blow to Si Yao.
She turned to run away, but her speed was much slower than when she was in the Golden Core stage.
not good……
Si Yao felt death was closer than ever before.
Is she really going to die at the hands of this mysterious demon today?
"ah--"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, and the oppressive force that had been pressing in vanished instantly.
Si Yao was slightly stunned. When she opened her eyes, she found that Wei You had already fallen to the ground and died in front of her.
"this……"
Before she could figure out what was going on, she looked up and saw a man shrouded in demonic energy, holding a Soul-Destroying Lamp, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Li…Li Ye…”
It turned out to be Li Ye.
Si Yao finally felt relieved.
The moment a person relaxes, the previously tense body suddenly can't hold on any longer. Si Yao's body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Li Ye quickly flashed to Si Yao's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and let her fall into his arms.
Are you alright?
Li Ye's voice lingered in her ears, and Si Yao shook her head, "It's alright."
Her gaze then shifted to Wei You, who had already turned into a corpse on the ground. "Do you recognize this person?"
“I recognize him.” Li Ye’s gaze at the corpse remained terrifyingly cold. “He is one of the Four Envoys of the Demon Realm, named Wei You.”
“One of the Four Envoys of the Demon Realm…” Si Yao frowned, “Was he once your subordinate?”
"On the surface, he is, but in reality, he is a man of Zhao Chu." Li Ye seemed to recall the past, his eyes filled with deep hatred. "Since he is working for Zhao Chu, he naturally cannot tolerate my resurrection, which is why he wants to get rid of you as soon as possible."
Si Yao nodded. "He must have detected the aura of your primordial spirit on me. I wonder if he has already spread this news."
If that's the case, Zhao Chu will probably come knocking on our door soon.
Li Ye lowered his eyes and approached, his gaze becoming even more urgent.
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the demonic energy surrounding his body surged up.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Si Yao's hand, his lips trembling slightly, "Therefore, I must guide the primordial spirit back as soon as possible."
Otherwise, Si Yao would be in danger.
Only when his primordial spirit is fully restored can Li Ye recover to his peak cultivation level. At that time, he will be able to deal with Zhao Chu and protect Si Yao's safety.
However, he did not explicitly say that he wanted to protect Si Yao's safety.
"Your aftereffects have flared up again?"
Seeing his pale face, Si Yao immediately tore open the front of his shirt.
Sure enough, black lines reappeared on his chest, just like during the previous two episodes of the aftereffects.
Li Ye frowned but did not speak.
However, Si Yao hugged him and intended to drag him to the nearby bushes.
Seeing this, Li Ye pressed down on her hand, panting heavily, and said, "Let's talk about it after we get out of this space..."
“This space is full of mazes, and we don’t know when we’ll be able to get out.” Ignoring Li Ye’s objections, Si Yao pulled him along towards the bushes. “I don’t think you can wait that long. Let’s hurry.”
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, "Where is that scroll that your spirit brought back from the Demon Realm last time? Let me see it again, so I can see if the specific steps are still recorded on it."
Specific steps...
Li Ye's brow twitched slightly, but he still obeyed Si Yao's instructions, took the scroll out of his storage ring, and handed it to Si Yao.
The scroll did indeed record in detail the steps for guiding the primordial spirit back to its original position during dual cultivation, and the explicit words made Si Yao blush and her heart race.
She blushed as she carefully put the scroll away, then said, "Alright, let's begin."
By this time, she had found a secluded spot, taken off Li Ye's outer garment, and even used both of their outer garments to spread on the grass.
"Hurry up."
Si Yao urged again.
Li Ye took a deep breath. Why was the other party in such a hurry?
"I remember, it wasn't long after our last dual cultivation..."
Li Ye suddenly said that.
Si Yao was still undressing Li Ye when she heard what he said. She stopped and quickly said, "Do you think I'm in a hurry to improve my cultivation? That's not it. I'm only doing this because I see you're suffering from the aftereffects."
Li Ye's expression also became uneasy, and he avoided Si Yao's gaze.
He seemed a little embarrassed?
But he didn't stop Si Yao. Instead, he let her do as she pleased. Even when Si Yao pushed him down into the bushes, he was only slightly stunned.
"Do you want to be on top?" He stared blankly at Si Yao in front of him, and without waiting for her answer, he said to himself, "Okay, this time it's up to you."
"Buzz—"
Si Yao felt her mind go blank. Even though she was in control, it was the first time she had done something like this. Her heart was racing, and she carefully leaned down and pressed herself against him.
The bushes soon began to tremble slightly, and then the two streams of spiritual energy intertwined, radiating a continuous stream of light.
With the help of the unique cultivation method of the Hehuan Sect and the detailed steps on the ancient scroll of the Demon Realm, the black mark on Li Ye's chest quickly disappeared, and he could clearly feel that part of his primordial spirit had returned to his body.
Although his cultivation level was suppressed and reduced by one level like Si Yao's in this space, and even though he was currently at the Golden Core stage, through the resonance and communication between the two of them, his cultivation level had returned to about 20-30%.
In short, besides the benefits he received in terms of cultivation and primordial spirit, his body also felt comfortable.
He gazed intently at Si Yao before him, a strange emotion rising within him, a warm feeling spreading through his chest.
As spiritual energy converged, he quickly forgot himself.
He seemed to have forgotten the Demon Realm, forgotten his own identity, and even more so, forgotten the hatred between himself and Zhao Chu.
He raised his hand from the bottom of his heart, then hugged Si Yao tightly around the waist, wishing he could meld her into his body.
Even when passion was about to reach its peak, he flipped her over and "subdued" her, thus regaining control.
Just like last time on the lake in Qingji County, when we were entangled and tossed about in that boat.
Si Yao let out a soft moan, then wrapped her arms around Li Ye's neck and breathed gently into his ear, "You... slow down."
