Chapter 16 The truth is that she has everything, from the beginning to the end...
Ying Bu Ran subconsciously tried to stand up and move back, but her head hit the roof of the car, and the pain made her shrink back.
Yun Xiangwan watched the scene with amusement, using her spiritual power to help her relieve the pain. She continued, "We didn't mean to hurt you. The situation at the time didn't allow us to explain too much, so we could only bring you out first."
Ying Bu Ran rubbed his head and sat back as much as he could. He wanted to grab his sword, but when he remembered that his sword, storage ring, and Heavenly Spirit Mirror had all been taken away, he gave up and asked warily, "Why are you arresting me?"
"Because you are a body of destiny." Yun Xiangwan said bluntly.
Did they also know about my physical condition? Could it be that they wanted to exploit my physical condition as Zhao Qingxun had said before? Otherwise, why would they specifically capture me?
But Qi Yiwen had said before that we should try our best to leave with the people from Zhuifeng City?
Who should she trust? She'll keep asking and see if she can get anything out of him.
Ying Bu Ran tried her best to keep her expression steady, so as not to let the person on the other side notice any flaws. Although they had just met, she could tell that Yun Xiangwan was a very cunning person.
"What is the destiny body?" Ying Bu Ran asked, pretending not to know.
Yun Xiangwan saw through her intentions immediately. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she rested her chin on one hand, looking at her with interest. "Why, didn't your girlfriend tell you? That's right, she probably wouldn't dare tell you all the information."
All the information? Ying Bu Ran's pupils shrank slightly. What else did she not know?
Could it be related to her death date?
"I don't know what you are talking about." Ying Bu Ran quickly regained his composure, shook his head, and stared at Yun Xiangwan.
"You know the Destiny Body, a person born in accordance with destiny. Are you aware of this?" Yun Xiangwan snapped his fingers, and an invisible barrier descended, isolating this place from the outside world. "But you probably don't know this? A Destiny Body is a favorite of Heaven. Their cultivation will not be hindered by any obstacles. On the contrary, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will spontaneously converge upon them."
Will there be no obstruction? Ying Bu Ran blinked, wondering if she had heard correctly. Seeing her disbelief, Yun Xiangwan repeated it softly.
Finally, she added, "We'll arrive at a temporary resting place later. The doctor is there. Once she suppresses some of the effects of the drugs in your body, you'll know."
Ying Bu Ran looked at Yun Xiangwan and nodded slowly, having already believed most of what she said.
The books she had read mentioned two ways to quickly improve one's cultivation: one was dual cultivation, and the other was taking medicine and pills.
However, taking medicines and pills cannot increase the efficiency of absorbing spiritual power. On the contrary, it can only cram spiritual power into the human body, while blocking the spiritual roots and making the speed of cultivation slower and slower.
Seeing Ying Bu Ran seemed to have figured it out, Yun Xiangwan didn't give her much time to think, and continued to throw down the thunder: "Second, it's about the wrath of heaven. Everyone knows now that when the time comes, Xuanmen will step in to suppress the wrath of heaven, but they have never said the specific method."
"...This method is related to the Destiny Body, right?"
Yun Xiangwan nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, according to our investigation, the so-called method is called a celestial sacrifice. As the name suggests, it is a sacrifice. As for the person being sacrificed, I think you already know. By the way, the celestial sacrifice will take place in three months."
Three months later, that was her death date, exactly. Ying Bu Ran swallowed subconsciously and said, "I."
"Yes, sacrificing the destiny body can suppress the wrath of heaven for a period of time."
Ying Bu Ran fell silent, his head lowered. Yun Xiang Wan didn't say anything else, but asked her to think about it. If she didn't believe it, she had other evidence.
After a while, Ying Bu Ran took a deep breath, as if trying to make a final effort: "Do you have any evidence? Does she know?"
Yun Xiangwan reached out to Si Nuo, who had been resting with his eyes closed. Si Nuo did not open his eyes, but took out a scroll from his arms. Then he continued to cross his arms with an indifferent look on his face.
She handed the scroll to Ying Bu Ran. "This is what our people stole from the Liuyun Sect. It records every celestial sacrifice. The most recent ones were presided over by your master. You should be able to feel her spiritual power from it."
"As for whether she knows... Here are the names of the participants. You can take a look at the one at the bottom."
Ying Bu Ran nodded, his hand trembling slightly as he touched the scroll. He could indeed sense Luo Wangqing's spiritual power at the last few names. This spiritual power was not increased later, but was left behind by writing with spiritual power.
Host: Luo Wangqing
There were many participants, most of whom were from Liuyun Sect and Jiuyou Sect, as well as the ancestors of Wanxiang Sect and Tianyan Sect.
Assistant: Zhao Qingxun.
Ying Bu Ran subconsciously touched the name, and more information appeared in her mind.
[Assistant's Mission: Stabilize the Destiny Body and imprison it within the territory. Do not let the Destiny Body know the truth. If the Destiny Body attempts to escape, it can be suppressed by force.]
[Can the assistor receive a gift?: Since this is the first time participating, no gifts will be given. Luo Wangqing stayed.]
Is that really the case... So Zhao Qingxun has been lying to her all along, right? All those vows he made to her before were also lies? Was his agreement under the fireworks just to appease her?
Ying Bu Ran's hand that wasn't holding the scroll involuntarily clenched, his nails digging deep into his flesh.
It turns out that everything she had was fake from the beginning to the end?
So this is why Qi Yiwen asked her to leave and didn't let her tell Zhao Qingxun?
"Even if you are angry, don't hurt yourself." The clenched fist was slowly opened, and then a cool ointment was applied to the wound, instantly healing the injury caused by the pinching.
Ying Bu Ran looked up and met Yun Xiangwan's gentle eyes, but his heart was already numb.
The people she thought were closest to her were lying to her. Who else could she trust?
Yun Xiangwan also knew that she couldn't make Ying Bu Ran trust her right now, but there was no rush. She would leave here and return to Zhuifeng City first. "We've arrived. Let's go see the doctor first. I need to take this scroll and let Sinuo take it away."
Ying Bu Ran nodded numbly, handed the scroll to her mechanically, and then followed her silently.
It was late at night, and the streets were deserted. When I opened the door, I saw only a dozing shop assistant.
Hearing the voice, the clerk immediately opened his eyes, saw that it was Yun Xiangwan, closed his eyes again and yawned.
Yun Xiangwan waved to Ying Buran, signaling her to follow him. After they entered a room within a room, they saw the mysterious doctor in a white cloak.
As for Sino, he had already left with the scroll.
When the doctor saw her, he gestured for her to sit down across from him and said straight to the point, "I think Yun Xiangwan should have told you about this on the way. Let's get straight to the point."
The doctor first took Ying Bu Ran's pulse and drew blood, then waved his hand to signal her to sit aside and not disturb her.
A person with a strong personality, Ying Bu Ran covered his wrist and this was the first thought in his mind after he sat aside.
Yun Xiangwanye sat over and used his spiritual power to help her heal, but at the same time, he felt a little different: "This kind of spiritual power... are you also practicing the Senluo Jue? But it seems that it is not complete."
"Incomplete?" Ying Bu Ran looked at her, and her first reaction was that it was completely hidden by Zhao Qingxun.
After realizing what she was thinking, Ying Bu Ran gave a bitter smile. Today, she would never have thought that she would now make such malicious speculations about the people around her.
Yun Xiangwan arrived. "Well, the Senluo Jue you're practicing now is missing a part. If you want to regain vitality, you must use spiritual power to stimulate it. After practicing the complete Senluo Jue to a certain level, vitality will spontaneously gather around you. If you practice deeper, you can even reach the end that many cultivators dream of... immortality."
"I thought you were going to talk about ascension." After seeing the wound on his wrist, Ying Buyan calmly retracted it and said with a curl of his lips.
Yun Xiangwan smiled and said, "How is that possible? The path to ascension has been blocked. Aside from five or six of our ancestor's former comrades, no one has ever successfully ascended. The complete Senluo Jue is currently only available in Zhuifeng City. It was taken away by one of our ancestor's old friends. If you trust us, we can give it to you when you arrive in Zhuifeng City."
Ying Bu Ran nodded. As to whether he had listened to her or not, Yun Xiangwan couldn't tell, but since his goal had been achieved, it didn't matter anymore.
After a moment, Ying Bu Ran suddenly spoke, his voice so soft, so low that if you didn't listen carefully you wouldn't even be able to hear it: "Why are you helping me like this?"
Yun Xiangwan thought for a moment, then organized her words. "First of all, at this stage, our goals should be the same. We want to stop the Heavenly Sacrifice. If you want to survive, it will inevitably lead to its failure."
"But if the heavenly sacrifice cannot be completed, the wrath of heaven will be unleashed and many people will die." Ying Bu Ran looked up at her and said.
"Heavenly sacrifices cannot stop the wrath of heaven, but instead intensify it. According to our investigation and that of some disciples and elders from the Wanxiang Sect and the Tianyan Sect, the speed at which the wrath of heaven breaks out is getting faster and faster, and the speed at which it takes lives is also getting faster and faster. We need a new method, rather than constantly sacrificing people and paralyzing ourselves." Yun Xiangwan took out a notebook, which was filled with densely packed records of the time of outbreaks and deaths.
Ying Bu Ran took a quick look and saw that this was indeed the case. However, after learning that Yun Xiangwan and the others' interests did not conflict with her own, she did not ask any further questions.
She couldn't even protect herself, so why would she care about others now? Furthermore, Yun Xiangwan's last words proved that Tiannu had other ways to stop it, but Xuanmen just didn't want to find them.
After all, for them, finding a new way is not as easy as sacrificing someone who has nothing to do with them.
Moreover, this matter is not known to the public. All people know is that Xuanmen suppressed the wrath of heaven. No one knows that anyone lost their life because of it. All the praise goes to those Xuanmen who suffered no losses.
It really is...
"You just mentioned the Wanxiang Sect and the Tianyan Sect?"
"Well, we were able to steal the scroll and give it to you thanks to the help of some people from their two sects. Now many people have noticed the abnormality, but the apparent 'peace' cannot be broken, so they can only help us secretly. Correspondingly, the progress is very slow, and the main force is still the Wind Chasing City. They can only provide a little help." Yun Xiangwan spread her hands. Although she still had a smile on her face, Ying Bu Ran could see the mockery in her eyes.
Ying Bu Ran carefully recalled Yun Xiangwan's words, sorting out his thoughts. He remembered that Yun Xiangwan had said "first of all", which meant there must be other reasons: "You..."
"Alright! It's done. So who's there? Come drink the medicine now. It's okay if you don't want to drink it, I'll pour it into you."
Ying Bu Ran: ...
Does it make any difference?
Yun Xiangwan looked at her, waiting for the next words.
Ying Bu Ran shook his head, stood up and walked towards the doctor: "It's okay, it's... not important anymore."
