"The divination indicates that the other party is locking onto you using their primordial aura, and they are already nearby," Gong Suxin reported to Jiang Yuan, revealing the divination she had painstakingly prepared.
However, Jiang Yuan's expression was complicated when he heard the result. He nodded and said, "Alright, I know who it is."
"Does this person have ill intentions?" Gong Suxin asked, speculating.
"Sister Suxin, my energy is insufficient to support our spiritual communication. I will contact you later," Jiang Yuan said, making an excuse.
"Really? I feel like you have plenty of energy!" Gong Suxin asked, puzzled.
"Sister Suxin, I'll cut off contact now."
Jiang Yuan didn't say much, but instead shut down their telepathic communication.
Looking at the peaceful mountain forest, Jiang Yuan shouted in one direction, "Come out! Hiding isn't your habit, Bu Yao."
The only response to Jiang Yuan was from the startled birds; there was no one else.
"Besides you, who are hostile towards me, no one else can control my original aura." Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry and continued to shout into the air.
In this world, his original aura has been leaked twice, once with Bu Yao and once with Mi Tan'er. However, Mi Tan'er is already dead, so now only Bu Yao can find him by relying on the original aura within his body.
It's unclear how long the two remained silent, but eventually a figure emerged from behind the tree, just as Jiang Yuan had guessed—it was Bu Yao.
"What, are you here to avenge your people?" Jiang Yuan's face was neither happy nor sad. Neither of them was wrong; the only mistake was their different positions. So, if you asked him to hate Bu Yao, he couldn't do it.
"Could you please not talk like that?" Bu Yao said with a slightly wry smile from a distance.
What are you doing here?
Jiang Yuan ignored Bu Yao and simply asked her purpose. If she wanted to kill him to avenge the dead Holy Spirit Clan, then he would accept it.
"I……"
Bu Yao stopped after saying two words, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I am here to avenge my clansmen."
"Come on then, I'm right here." Jiang Yuan gripped the Dark Star Spear, his fighting spirit surging within him.
Bu Yao's breathing became rapid; it was as if there was a pent-up anger in her chest that she couldn't release no matter what.
Seeing Bu Yao's hesitation, Jiang Yuan smiled frivolously and said, "What, are you still in love?"
Bu Yao took a deep breath and then said, "It wasn't me who leaked your information last time. It's just that the Holy Spirit Clan happened to have their eyes on the Holy Spirit Marrow Mine of the Wenshan Dao Sect. I didn't want to be misunderstood by you with malicious intent."
"It's alright, I'm not surprised even if you leaked it." Jiang Yuan's tone wasn't very friendly.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Bu Yao gripped her sword tightly. It was inevitable that the two of them would end up on opposite sides.
"Since you've come knocking on my door, you're not here to chat and reminisce, are you? If you're going to fight, then hurry up and do it," Jiang Yuan said impatiently.
Why did you lose the sword?
As Bu Yao spoke, she pressed closer to Jiang Yuan, showing no regard for the fact that the distance between them had exceeded the safe distance where she could kill him.
"What use is a useless thing?" Jiang Yuan replied with a cold laugh. The Gentleman's Sword was a divine object, but the consequences of taking it were not something he could bear.
"Yeah?"
Bu Yao raised her hand, holding the sword, and said, "So you're planning to deny our entire past?"
"That's one way to understand it," Jiang Yuan nodded.
Seeing Jiang Yuan's resolute expression, Bu Yao pursed her lips and remained silent, expressing her attitude through a silent gaze.
"Now that everyone's here, are you just going to watch without doing anything?" Jiang Yuan urged.
Bu Yao closed her eyes, nodded and said, "Alright, it's better for you to die by my sword than by someone else."
Jiang Yuan chose to attack first, aiming his Dark Star Spear straight for Bu Yao's head. However, he had just emerged from the cycle of Dark Restriction. Although he appeared physically strong, he was actually weak inside. After a few exchanges, Bu Yao stabbed his arm with her sword. With one strike, all the tendons and bones were severed by the blade of the Lady's Sword. The bloody and gruesome sight made it hard to believe that this was a couple who had spent five years together.
"Again!"
Jiang Yuan also became ruthless, launching a fierce counterattack. The life cave formed from his flesh and bones served as an innate advantage, constantly healing his injuries and maintaining his increasingly powerful combat strength.
Before long, Jiang Yuan had dozens of penetrating wounds on his body, and Bu Yao's blue dress was torn to a tattered state. She was also injured, especially a foot-long wound on her collarbone, which was mercilessly left by the Dark Star Spear.
Jiang Yuanzhen had intended to take her life, but when he actually thrust the spear into that frail body, he hesitated.
He didn't just hesitate; he couldn't even hold the spear properly.
However, Bu Yao was much more ruthless, stabbing a hole in his shoulder blade with her sword.
“You can’t win. You already exhausted your strength in the Hengduan Mountains, and then you were hit by the White Emperor’s Sword Song. Now, every time you use your power, you are consuming your own essence. There’s no need to make things difficult for yourself.” Bu Yao pointed her sword at Jiang Yuan’s head.
"Is that so? Then why don't you kill me!" Jiang Yuan smiled contemptuously. Before the Eternal Holy Body perished, no one in this world could take his life.
"Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, I won't kill you!"
Bu Yao slowly lowered her hand holding the sword. After three seconds of silence, Bu Yao spoke again: "But if you want me to let you go, you have to give me something."
"I refuse!"
Jiang Yuan gave Bu Yao no room to maneuver, shaking his head and saying, "Xiao Xiao is my daughter, I will not give up on her!"
Now, the only person Bu Yao can talk to is Xiao Xiao, who is the only link between the two of them.
No, I want your Dark Forest!
