Mi Li glanced down at the longsword in his hand: "I will temporarily reside within the Tai'a Sword."
Zuan was taken aback: "People can live on the Tai'a Sword?"
Mi Li rolled her eyes: "A divine artifact like the Tai'a Sword has its own internal space. Of course, it's also thanks to the damage to its sword spirit that I was able to reside in it so easily."
"The sword spirit is damaged?" Zuan asked, puzzled.
Mi Li gave him a look of utter disbelief: "During a battle years ago, the spirit of the Tai'a sword was injured, so Ying Zheng stopped using it. But it would be a waste to just abandon it, so he used it as the core of the Soul-Suppressing Array to provide energy to the array. Because of thousands of years of exploitation, the Tai'a sword is even more damaged. Otherwise, how could someone of your cultivation level control it? You would have been torn to pieces by its sword energy long ago."
Zuan was relieved. He had heard how powerful the Tai'a Sword was, but he didn't feel anything special when he held it. It turned out that the sword spirit was damaged. It was probably closer to a dead sword now. Apart from the remaining trace of its power and the unparalleled sharpness of the blade, there were no other obvious effects.
"Tell your wife to let go of your hand first." Mi Li was speechless for a moment, watching the sword go in and out in front of her heart. Even though she was determined, she dared not be distracted for a moment, lest she accidentally die.
Zu An hurriedly said to Chu Chuyan, "Chuyan, let go first, everything is under control."
Chu Chuyan hesitated for a moment before slowly releasing her left hand.
Mi Li snorted and muttered an obscure and profound incantation. Then, a phantom image resembling Mi Li emerged from Chu Chuyan's body and disappeared into the Tai'a Sword.
As soon as she entered, the Tai'a sword emitted a soft hum.
Zaun could vaguely sense that things had changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
As soon as Mi Li left, Chu Chuyan's body went limp and she fell to the side. Zu An was startled and quickly caught her, asking, "What's wrong?"
“I had the upper hand just now. She hasn’t fully regained control of her body yet, but she’ll be fine soon.” Mi Li’s voice rang out, sounding much weaker than before.
"Huh, why are you speaking so softly?" Zu An asked curiously.
“Nonsense, an ordinary person’s soul will be scattered the moment it leaves the body. I left twice in a row, and now I’m already severely injured.” Mi Li said resentfully, clearly still holding a grudge about this matter.
Anger from Mi Li +233!
Zu An chuckled awkwardly, not wanting to provoke her further, and instead looked at the beauty in his arms: "Wife, how are you?"
Chu Chuyan slowly woke up, her beautiful eyes opening as she looked at him. Suddenly, her face flushed red as she thought of something, and she pushed him away, instead helping Qiao Xueying up instead.
Zuan: "..."
Why are you suddenly being so distant? Mi Li was perfectly fine when she was inside her body.
"Stop your sweet talk here. Hurry up and purify those vengeful spirits, otherwise, when all 200,000 of them rush out of the pool, we'll all die together," Mi Li coldly reminded her.
“Okay!” Zuan nodded and turned to walk towards the pool.
He stopped after taking only a few steps, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Um... how exactly is purification done?"
Mi Li: "???"
Chu Chuyan and Qiao Xueying, standing to the side, also looked at him curiously. He had spoken so confidently just now, and Mi Li had only given in and left. But now, judging from the meaning behind his words...
"You don't understand purification techniques?" Mi Li also realized what was happening and asked in disbelief.
Zuan looked somewhat shy: "I should have understood, but back then, Ying Zheng's remnant soul didn't explain it clearly to me..."
Mi Li: "!!!"
Anger from Mi Li +1024!
She was furious. She couldn't believe she had been so easily fooled by a young man, which had severely damaged her soul and left her unable to recover for a long time.
I'm going to kill you!
The Tai'a sword let out a dragon's roar, then broke free from his grasp and relentlessly chased after him, slashing at him.
Chu Chuyan: "..."
Qiao Xueying: "..."
They finally understood why the other party had risked agreeing to Mi Li's conditions; it turned out they were bluffing.
This guy is really wicked; he doesn't even blink when he's plotting against people.
At this moment, Zuan, while running away with his head in his hands, shouted quickly, "We just signed a 'life and death pact,' and now we live and die together. If you kill me, you die too."
Upon hearing his words, the Tai'a sword stopped in mid-air, but continued to emit a buzzing tremor, which showed just how furious Mi Li was inside.
She wanted nothing more than to tear this guy to pieces, but the thought that their lives were now intertwined filled her with a sense of powerlessness and frustration that fueled her anger.
Anger from Mi Li +1024!
"How about we leave this place first, and after we get through this crisis, you can settle the score with me later?" Zuan tentatively suggested.
Mi Li: "..."
After a long while, she finally calmed down a bit: "Leave? These vengeful spirits have already seen you and locked onto your aura. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, they will still come to hunt you down. Rather than that, it's better to deal with it sooner rather than later."
"But I don't know anything about purification techniques." Zuan made a bitter face.
“Once you cultivate the Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing to the second level, you can mobilize the Hongmeng Qi and purify evil spirits and vengeful spirits in the world,” Mi Li said through gritted teeth.
"The second level?" Zu An hesitated. "But I've only reached the first level so far."
