Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Four muffled thuds rang out in succession as the four Soul-Suppressing Nails pierced into You Yueying's body without any hindrance.
A powerful sealing force spread through her body along the Soul-Suppressing Nails. You Yueying felt a wave of weakness wash over her. Her dark soul began to weaken noticeably as the four Soul-Suppressing Nails were driven in. Her once bright eyes dimmed, and her aura receded like the tide.
The towering demonic shadow, weakened by the decline of its divine soul, also showed signs of fading away. The black mist surrounding the demonic shadow thinned, and its once enormous body began to flicker erratically, appearing as if it would extinguish and vanish at any moment.
Upon seeing this, the four people who were trapped first showed a hint of astonishment in their eyes, followed by wild joy.
They didn't even have time to think about who the old man in green robes was. Anyway, now that the Soul-Suppressing Nail was embedded in the woman's soul, no matter how powerful she was, she could only obediently be captured.
At that moment, the four of them hurriedly activated their respective Dharma forms, which struggled violently.
Bound by black shackles, the four figures, whose bodies were originally unable to move, began to writhe.
Faxiang's arms flailing wildly, trying to break free from the black shackles. Each struggle caused ripples in the surrounding space, making creaking sounds, as if it could not withstand the struggle and would shatter.
Although her soul was nailed into her spirit by the Soul-Suppressing Nail, You Yueying still maintained her original aloofness.
She raised her head, her indifferent gaze falling on the suddenly appearing green-robed old man, and said coldly:
"You want to get involved in this mess too?"
There was no fear or panic in her words, as if the one who was at a disadvantage at this moment was not her, but the old man not far away.
The old man shook his head and said calmly:
“I don’t want to get involved in this. Just hand over that kid and I’ll leave immediately without a second thought.”
Clearly, the old man was also aware of the terror of a supreme being.
He knew in his heart that if You Yueying really risked everything, even if she only had her soul left, he would not be able to resist her.
Although he had heard of the Soul-Suppressing Nail's reputation, he wasn't sure how effective this replica would be, so he could only try to stall for time. The longer the Soul-Suppressing Nail could weaken You Yueying, the better it would be for him.
His purpose in coming here was to get her to hand over Qin Luo.
Previously, he had tried to secretly take Qin Luo away, but he discovered that the Supreme Being's divine soul perception was constantly watching the boy.
Left with no other choice, he could only wait in the shadows for an opportunity. Fortunately, his perseverance paid off, and he finally got the chance he had in a lifetime.
At that moment, Qin Luo's eyes narrowed sharply the instant the old man appeared.
In that instant, he suddenly felt a burning sensation inside his sleeve.
Damn it!
Qin Luo cursed under his breath. Without thinking, he rushed towards You Yueying's location, his figure turning into a blurry afterimage.
He never expected that all this trouble would stem from the jade tube he obtained from Lin Shuo.
I can only blame myself for being careless and greedy at the time. I didn't put the jade tube in the system space, but instead just stuffed it into my sleeve.
Looking back now, the old man was most likely a member of the Lin family, the power behind Lin Shuo, and most likely found this place through some kind of tracking method hidden in the jade slip.
A few breaths later, Qin Luo arrived at You Yueying's side.
Upon seeing his sudden appearance, a hint of anxiety flashed in You Yueying's originally calm eyes, with a touch of reproach in her gaze, as if she were blaming him for taking the risk to come over, when she could clearly handle the situation.
The moment the old man saw Qin Luo, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, his gaze widened in anger, and he roared at Qin Luo:
"Boy, how dare you harm the young master of the Lin family?"
Ignoring the old man's angry shout, Qin Luo looked at You Yueying with a heart full of guilt, his eyes filled with self-reproach:
"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. You... all these nails on your body."
His gaze fell on the Soul-Suppressing Nails on You Yueying's body, and a feeling of unease welled up in his heart.
You Yueying bit her lower lip, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, and forced a smile as she softly said:
"This isn't your fault. Don't worry about me, just get out of here. This isn't a situation you can handle."
However, Qin Luo shook his head, and You Yueying felt somewhat anxious about this:
"Don't be foolish again!" The originally cool voice unconsciously rose in pitch. "Your presence here will only be a burden to me and disrupt my rhythm!"
However, before her words could fully settle, Qin Luo interrupted her.
"Stop lying to me. If you could still use your strength freely right now, you would have left me far behind when I rushed over. How could you have just watched me step into your side? This matter started because of me in the ancestral land. How can I let you bear all of this alone?"
Upon hearing this, You Yueying completely panicked and cried out almost incoherently:
"How exactly are you going to bear this for me? There's no one here you can stand against right now..."
Halfway through her sentence, You Yueying looked at Qin Luo's unquestionable gaze, but the harsh words she was about to say just wouldn't come out, and her voice stopped abruptly.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turmoil, and softened her tone, speaking softly:
"I know you mean well, but this is just too dangerous. Please trust me, okay?"
The old man watched the two talking as if no one else was around, and his anger was reignited. When he heard that You Yueying's strength had completely fallen below the Supreme Realm, he could no longer hold back.
"What a sweet talk! Do you really think I don't exist? Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
Having said that, the old man quickly formed hand seals, and his body surged with a watery spiritual energy:
"Original Technique of the Vast Ocean, Water-Splitting Sky Cleave!"
As the old man made his move, a thick, almost viscous vapor filled every inch of the surrounding space.
The entire world was transformed into a vast ocean.
Immediately following, a water blade that cleaved through the heavens and earth, carrying boundless sharpness, roared down towards Qin Luo and You Yueying.
The chilling aura of death set off alarm bells in You Yueying's heart, and in this life-or-death situation, she could no longer care about anything else.
"The Holy Scripture of Eternal Night, eternal darkness!"
Her lips parted slightly, and though her voice was soft, it seemed to come from the depths of hell, exuding a chilling ruthlessness.
Originally, she did not want Qin Luo to witness this bloody and cruel side of her, but the situation was so precarious that she could no longer hesitate.
The black mist surrounding the demonic figure, which bound the four people with chains, instantly transformed into countless thin yet incredibly sharp threads that shot out, piercing straight through the four enormous avatars and into their bodies.
