"Hua Hua, isn't twenty sword strikes too much? Let's discuss it. How about ten sword strikes? After all, this isn't my true form; it can't withstand that many cuts."
Ye Sisi nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Then, with a whoosh, Wuhen was instantly drawn from his body. The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, which he hadn't used in a long time, transformed into a bright sword light that shot straight towards Gao Zhen's face.
He unleashed a full-force attack, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, and so on, until all his spiritual energy from the Mahayana stage was drained.
Even if it were a Mahayana cultivator of the same realm, or even a Tribulation Transcending cultivator of a whole realm higher than her, standing still and taking so many of her sword strikes would still leave him with a layer of skin torn off. After all, it was a sword technique given by the Heavenly Dao, combined with her Dao and her sword intent, so its power was impossible to be ordinary.
Although Gao Zhen showed no signs of injury, his figure had faded considerably, as if he were about to disappear.
Although Ye Sisi's face was a little pale because her spiritual energy had been drained, she was in good spirits and her eyes were shining brightly. Even though she hadn't done anything to the fire, the frustration in her heart had indeed dissipated a lot.
Even if Gao Zhen is giving in to her this time, she has still drawn her sword against the supreme deity. Her sword heart will not be tarnished because of this. One day, she will stand before them with dignity as Ye Sisi.
She would let them know that she, Ye Sisi, was not a substitute for anyone; she was a complete person, the complete Ye Sisi. She would also make him apologize to his senior brother.
"Huahua, do you have to be so ruthless? You said you'd cut me, and you actually did? What if you disfigure me?"
Ye Sisi completely ignored his madness and calmly popped pills into her mouth to replenish her spiritual energy. It was a pity that his strength was still not enough; he needed to work harder.
Gao Zhen stood there, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, looking at his increasingly dim figure, on the verge of tears. "Ahhh, I've been using a shill, I've been using a shill again. There's not much time left this time. Sigh, I should have known better than to be so talkative."
"Huahua, I'm out of time, so I'll keep it short."
This time, Gao Zhen's expression was much more solemn, but there was still some resentment in his eyes.
Seeing that Ye Sisi still had that indifferent and aloof look, he sighed and said, "Hua Hua, you have changed after all!"
"Hey, you guys only know how to bully honest people like me. Oh well, I'm magnanimous and don't hold grudges. What can I do? I'm just naturally generous."
Ye Sisi couldn't help but twitch her lips. This was what he meant by not having much time left. If he were really in a hurry, would he still be talking nonsense here? Damn it, if this guy wasn't out of his mind, she would write his name backwards.
"Huahua, look at what you're saying. Even if I'm not out of my mind, if you write your name backwards, it's still Huahua. I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick."
Ye Sisi...
I really wanted to punch him to death; he was eavesdropping on her thoughts at a time like this.
"Here, take this. Remember to refine it as soon as possible, otherwise we really can't be sure of bringing your original body back intact. Don't worry, since changing the path is Wuyou's idea, we, as her friends, will not stop her, nor will we do anything like discarding her after she has served her purpose. For the journey to the Nine Netherworlds, just focus on finding the locations of those few Pure World Nine-Leaf Lotuses. Destiny will take care of the rest. Don't worry, we are not pushovers, but we are not villains either, so go with peace of mind. There are no traps."
Ye Sisi subconsciously reached out and took what Gao Zhen threw at her, but upon hearing these words, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. "Used and discarded like a donkey," did he mean he was a donkey? And why didn't she believe the last part about "no trap"?
"Huahua, is there any trust left between us? Am I the kind of person who would betray a friend?"
Ye Sisi calmly raised her head, her eyes unwavering as she looked at the increasingly ethereal figure of the white-robed youth, and said softly, "I am Ye Sisi."
These few simple words left Gao Zhen speechless. His eyes were more complicated than ever before, but this complexity only lasted for a moment before he continued to chuckle and say, "Hua Hua, don't be like that. Take a look at what you have in your hand first before you talk. I promise you'll be very sincere."
Ye Sisi ignored his flowery nickname. Since her current strength wasn't enough to shut them up or make them change their tune, she would wait until she was strong enough to point her sword at them and force them to change their tune.
Looking down at the milky white bead, about the size of a ping-pong ball, in my hand, I felt its smooth, warm texture, even more delicate and refined than the finest jade, and it even emitted a faint glow.
Aside from that, she didn't feel anything different. It was as if the contents of the Taoist bead were being blocked by something, and even now she couldn't sense anything at all.
Su Jiuli's expression changed, and she looked at Gao Zhen, asking, "How did you manage to bring this thing down here?"
Gao Zhen shook his head and said, "You guys don't need to worry about that. Just say that the Chengyi Clan is not sincere enough. We've already said that we're not that kind of petty people. We'd love for another god to emerge from the Outer Heavens to rival the Nine Netherworlds. So, there should be basic trust between allies, right?"
Although Ye Sisi still couldn't sense anything unusual about the bead, she had some guesses based on what her senior brother said.
Although she didn't know exactly what the core of the domain looked like, she really couldn't think of anything else that would make the entire Outer Heaven care so much.
Of course, as a minor cultivator who split off from the God of Purification, she certainly wasn't qualified to possess that so-called domain core. But what if she was only a part of the domain core? For example, if the domain core was a river, and she scooped up a ladleful of water from the river, oh no, she scooped up a handful of water.
"What exactly is in here? Could it be part of the core of the realm?"
Ye Sisi thought that's why she asked the question, since they would eventually tell her, right?
Su Jiuli nodded with a smile. His junior sister was indeed clever; she had guessed it herself.
Gao Zhen clapped enthusiastically from the side: "Oh my, my Hua Hua is so smart. When it comes to brains, you are unparalleled in heaven and earth. So Hua Hua, I've been sincere enough, haven't I? We would never joke about the core essence. In ten days, the passage between the Spirit Realm and the Nine Netherworlds will open. See you then!"
After he finished speaking, his figure almost disappeared. Ye Sisi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wait, since you've decided to go to the Nine Netherworld, then this is a matter for the Heavenly Outer Heaven and the Nine Netherworld Ruler. Can the Spirit Realm be separated? With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to repair the passage between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm, right?"
