"you!"
Sikong Xiu's eyes widened, her face a mixture of anger and astonishment. Only then did she realize why Qin Luo had been so persistent, asking her about the soul tribulation and how to deal with it. It turned out that his real intention was not what he wanted; under the guise of borrowing a secret treasure, he actually wanted to find out the life-saving item she possessed.
"Borrow? You make it sound so easy!"
She cursed inwardly, for the treasure that could withstand the heavenly tribulation and not interfere with the power of heaven and earth to nourish it after the tribulation was of immeasurable value.
And most importantly, this treasure can only be used once!
Thinking of this, Sikong Xiu's heart clenched. She had found this treasure in the most hidden corner of an ancient ruin during a near-death adventure. She had paid too high a price for it, and she still bore the scars from her battle with the guardian beast.
Now, Qin Luo casually reaches out, attempting to possess her. How could she accept this?
"Young Master, aren't you being a bit unreasonable? We, the people of the Nine Heavenly Gates, have always been united in our hatred of the enemy..."
Before Sikong Xiu could finish speaking, Qin Luo suddenly snorted coldly and questioned her with his other hand:
"Ridiculous! Then why did you bring those puppets here in the first place? If I hadn't been strong enough, I'd probably be a skeleton by now! I only let you live because you're useful to me. Do you really think your Illusion Dream Sect members are a threat to me?"
After speaking, a cold glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes, and the restriction stored in Sikong Xiu's mind was instantly broken. An invisible force transformed into a sharp steel needle, piercing deep into Sikong Xiu's mind.
A sharp pain shot through her, and Sikong Xiu felt everything go black before her eyes, collapsing to the ground. She clutched her head tightly with both hands, letting out a agonizing scream that echoed through the space, sounding exceptionally mournful.
"ah--!"
At this moment, Sikong Xiu clearly felt death approaching. Her consciousness became blurred in the excruciating pain. If this continued, she was certain that the man in front of her would really let her die here!
"Young master...spare...my life!"
Sikong Xiu managed to squeeze out a few words, her body trembling uncontrollably, each tremor accompanied by excruciating pain.
The three disciples of the Illusionary Dream Sect were terrified by this sudden turn of events, their faces turning ashen. They looked at the writhing Sikong Xiu in horror, wanting to rush forward to help, but were paralyzed by the surrounding void, unable to move.
Qin Luo looked at Sikong Xiu, who was struggling in pain, without the slightest pity in his eyes, and said coldly:
"I'll give you one more chance. Will you hand it over or not? Don't think I won't kill you."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and Sikong Xiu felt a loud bang in her head, as if it were about to explode.
At this moment, Sikong Xiu was already on the verge of death. Her consciousness was almost scattered due to the excruciating pain. With difficulty, she pulled a jade talisman from her bosom.
The moment the jade talisman appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. The talisman was outlined with mithril, and the flowing mithril exuded a heavy and ancient aura, carrying the same antiquity as heaven and earth.
After taking out the jade talisman, Sikong Xiu used her last bit of strength to hand it towards Qin Luo, her voice as faint as a whisper:
"I...I give...to...you..."
Qin Luo reached out and took the jade talisman, examined it carefully, and then nodded in satisfaction.
As he moved, the restrictive force placed on Sikong Xiu dissipated.
Sikong Xiu felt the excruciating pain in her head subside, but she was already exhausted from the ordeal. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Hoo hoo hoo~
Sikong Xiu breathed heavily, her strength failing her, and barely opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with humiliation and resentment, but even more so with the relief of surviving a calamity. She looked at Qin Luo, her lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing.
Qin Luo put the jade talisman into his pocket, glanced at her coldly, and said:
"Hmph, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I'm being polite, but you don't appreciate it and insist on forcing me to take action."
After saying that, he turned around, as if everything that had just happened was insignificant.
The next moment, the surrounding void surged, sweeping the four members of the Illusionary Dream Sect into the Sea of Seals...
Time flew by, and Qin Luo waited quietly overseas for a week. During this week, he watched the constantly changing rankings of the university teams, lost in thought.
His eyes were deep and serious, and he would shake his head and sigh at times, as if he were weighing something.
Just then, Qin Luo suddenly looked up at the point of light in the sky, and the system voice that had sounded just three days ago rang in his mind:
[Murong Liyue has entered the Soul Tribulation. Based on her current affection level for the host: 230; therefore, the return reward will be randomly distributed between 231 and 1155 times.]
[Cultivation points returned are doubled, with a multiplier of 600. You will receive 600 times the cultivation points gained from the Soul Tribulation. This has been stored in the return storage.]
"They filled his Qi Sea in just three days? That's incredibly efficient..."
Qin Luo stroked the talisman he had obtained from Sikong Xiu, gazing at Murong Liyue, who had reappeared from within the light.
It should be noted that when Murong Liyue entered this place, she was only at the Body Tribulation stage, but now she is about to cross two realms in a short period of time. This speed of improvement makes Qin Luo have to make preparations for her in advance.
That's why he went to great lengths to set a trap for Sikong Xiu, just to find a guarantee for Murong Liyue.
Murong Liyue sat cross-legged high in the sky, her robes fluttering, and with the spiritual seal as a backdrop, she resembled a fairy descended to earth under the moonlight.
