Chapter 337 Her soul bond with Mei Liangyu was broken.
Sheng Fei was so angry that he spun around on the spot, unable to resist clenching his fists and fidgeting with his ten fingers.
He couldn't argue with Yu Sui, and at the same time, he didn't think he had any problems, nor could he understand why Yu Sui treated him this way.
"So you're not one of Ping Shu's people?" Sheng Fei looked coldly at Yu Sui. "You've been pretending all these years?"
"You asked me this question when I first entered the Taiyi realm. You didn't care then, so why are you starting to care now?" Yu Sui's face showed impatience. "Are you afraid that my cultivation will surpass yours and that I will become more powerful than you?"
"What a joke!" Sheng Fei blurted out in exasperation, "Putting aside whether I'm afraid of these things, can you even do it?"
Yu Sui stood up and said, "Even if I succeed, it's not to compete with you in a contest."
Sheng Fei sneered: "You really think you're invincible just because you have the Breath of Earth?"
Yu Sui: "Only a naive person would have such a thought."
Sheng Fei was a beat slow to react, and then became even angrier: "You call me naive? Who's naive here, all these years?"
"Don't keep repeating the same things over and over. It's annoying, even if it doesn't bother you," Yu Sui interrupted him impatiently. "Hurry up and find a way to leave here."
Sheng Fei completely ignored her: "I'm not in a hurry to leave."
"Then you can wait for Shen Liu to come back and continue to use you to fish for yin-yang fish." Yu Sui laughed, "It was Brother Gu who came to save you, otherwise I wouldn't have come."
These words were incredibly hurtful. Sheng Fei's temples twitched, and he suppressed his urge to attack, coldly uttering, "Get out, get out of here now."
Yu Sui laughed and said, "I'm actually a little curious. You beat someone up like this. Don't you feel any guilt towards the pastor? Will the pastor be able to forgive you? Being friends with someone as emotionally unstable as you, I don't know how tired and miserable the pastor is every day."
She stared at Mu Mengbai and said, "You scared your senior brother so much that he didn't dare to get up. Third brother, can't you remember how ugly you looked back then?"
As the girl spoke, she seemed to recall something amusing and burst into laughter.
Sheng Fei was clearly enraged by her. His breathing was unsteady, and he was about to walk towards Yu Sui with a cold face when Mu Mengbai grabbed his leg and wailed, "Ouch, you stepped on me! How could you do this to me? You stepped on me and didn't even say anything! You must have broken my ribs! Young Master, how are you going to make it up to me this time!"
Mu Mengbai held him tightly and wouldn't let go. Sheng Fei struggled several times but couldn't shake him off. He was so angry at the situation that he laughed and turned to Mu Mengbai, saying, "Let go!"
"Cough..." Mu Mengbai let go, but his face was pale from coughing, and he looked extremely weak.
Yu Sui said nonchalantly from the side, "If you stomp the pastor to death, then the quota for this nighttime murder will be used up."
Sheng Fei said with a dark face, "I'm going to kill a lot of people this time."
Yu Sui asked in surprise, "Am I one too?"
"You think I'm like you?" Sheng Fei looked at her sarcastically.
Yu Sui tilted her head indifferently.
Sheng Fei used to think she was cute, but now he thinks she's awful.
Caught between the brother and sister, Mu Mengbai dared not speak, only turning his eyes to look at one and then the other.
He was also shocked. Looking at his well-behaved and adorable younger sister, although she was still cute, she was completely different now.
Mu Mengbai sighed inwardly. Why did things have to escalate to this point, with all this fighting? It was unnecessary!
"Third Brother, just a reminder, you lost your bet." Yu Sui suddenly became very patient and said to Sheng Fei, "Su Xingchao deciphered the ancient inscription, and everyone knows that the fragment is in the Wujian Abyss. Many people have gone there."
Sheng Fei's expression changed drastically, and he turned to look at Mu Mengbai. Mu Mengbai raised his hand as if to swear: "I can prove for you that you were the one who deciphered the ancient inscription first. Su Xingchao used despicable means to steal your deciphering results."
"These shameless bastards! They'll definitely be exposed for what they really are and make Su Xingchao admit defeat and get out of Taiyi!" Mu Mengbai cursed on Sheng Fei's behalf.
Since waking up, Sheng Fei has been constantly trying to control his emotions. The pent-up anger in his heart made him want to find a place to vent, but it was not the right time, so he could only suppress it again and again.
Mu Mengbai was prepared for Sheng Fei to lose his temper a second time, but seeing Sheng Fei's expression change several times, he seemed to be able to hold back, and didn't even shout and curse like before.
Did he have a change of heart?
Mu Mengbai was filled with anticipation, but then Sheng Fei suddenly said to Yu Sui, "You really didn't know you had an older sister?"
When Qingkui was mentioned, the mischievous smile on Yu Sui's face seemed to fade a little.
Yu Sui did not answer, but Sheng Fei pressed on: "That is your own sister, born of the same mother. I heard that she is known as the Little Medical Saint in Qingyang. It seems that your sister is a genius in cultivation, just like you."
The words "last genius" were emphasized, making them sound full of mockery.
"You think I'm wrong to pity you, but now I think I'm the one who's pitied the wrong person." Sheng Fei narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Yu Sui. The face that resembled his father's began to overlap in terms of aura and expression.
Yu Sui seemed to see her younger self standing in front of Nangong Ming, receiving his high and mighty judgment.
"Your sister is more pitiful than you. You were pampered and spoiled in the Prince's mansion, while she was raised in some unknown corner of the world. If it weren't for the accident that prevented Father from recognizing her, you..."
"Shut up."
Sheng Fei was taken aback: "What did you say?"
“I told you to shut up.” Yu Sui looked directly into his eyes.
Sheng Fei sneered, then, enraged, took another step forward, looking at Yu Sui defiantly: "What, putting on a show of sisterly affection in front of me?"
"Hey, hey!" Mu Mengbai hurriedly stood up and stepped between the two. "Alright, if you have something to say, go home and argue! Now, figure out how to get out of here!"
Mu Mengbai glared at Sheng Fei and said, "Are you serious? Her sister has already told us to shut up, so let's just say less!"
He then turned to Yu Sui with a fawning smile and said, "Your brother hasn't recovered from his emotions yet, he's still impulsive. Just ignore what he says and don't take it to heart!"
"Mu Mengbai!" Sheng Fei was about to pull the person away when he saw a familiar yet annoying figure rushing towards them.
Thinking back to what Yu Sui had just said—that Gu Gan was coming to rescue him—Sheng Fei felt like vomiting.
Gu Gan used his wind-riding technique to rush over from afar. When he saw Yu Sui, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Sui Sui!"
Yu Sui rolled her eyes and looked outside the Earth Punishment Formation.
Despite the wind and sand, Gu Gan's wind manipulation technique moved very fast, getting closer and closer to her.
But Yu Sui felt increasingly irritable.
Whether inside Sheng Fei's body or Yu Sui's, the Formless Serpent would not act rashly, but would obediently stay and recuperate. The Formless Serpent advocates rage, so even if it does nothing and just stays quietly, it will still subtly amplify the host's emotions.
Yu Sui was always angry, and if the destructive desire hidden in his heart were pushed, he might not be able to control it.
To enrage Yu Sui, that's exactly what the strange fire wants.
The Formless Serpent obediently hid in a corner deep within Yu Sui's soul, without actively attacking him. The incomplete Breath Soil was useless to it, and the Strange Fire would not actively devour it.
Yu Sui didn't even see the Formless Serpent move into her shadow. Wei Ren and Wan Qi, who did see it, were still in a daze and couldn't tell her. Just now, she tested Sheng Fei and noticed a subtle change in him, which gave her a bad feeling.
Gu Gan arrived at the earthen execution array and saw Wei Ren and Wan Qi lying unconscious on the ground. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He first went to check on Yu Sui, and then found Sheng Fei there as well. Somewhat surprised, he asked Yu Sui, "You found him?"
“It’s a coincidence.” Yu Sui glanced at Sheng Fei, whose face had changed, and said to Gu Gan, “Brother Gu, let’s go. Third Brother told us to get lost and said he would rather die than let us save him.”
"Nangong Sui, what nonsense are you spouting!" Sheng Fei was furious and tried to pull Yu Sui back.
Gu Gan was also stunned, never expecting to hear Yu Sui say such things about Sheng Fei one day.
But he quickly realized what was happening and looked at Sheng Fei with displeasure: "Can you stop making things worse? Sui Sui is already under a lot of pressure because of Yan Manfeng's death, and you still have to say all sorts of nonsense to her. If you weren't the prince's child, do you think I would be happy to come and save you?"
"Yan Manfeng is dead?" Mu Mengbai asked in shock. "When did this happen? No, how do you know?"
Gu Gan said, "Last night, the Six Kingdoms Tobacco Company announced it."
Sheng Fei retorted angrily, "What does Yan Manfeng's death have to do with her!"
Gu Gan rolled his eyes at Sheng Fei, as if to say, "I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you," and asked Yu Sui how long the earth punishment formation had been in place. Sheng Fei was blocked behind Mu Mengbai and could only hear his powerless roar. Yu Sui beckoned to Gu Gan, signaling him to come closer.
"Brother Gu, didn't you say you would protect me?" Yu Sui glanced at the direction where the two instructors were hiding.
The strange fire detected that there were two more people over there.
Yu Sui didn't know whether the person hiding there was the instructor who collected corpses, or Shen Liu and Lu Pengpeng who hadn't left.
Lian Shen and Bu San saw Yu Sui and Gu Gan whisper to each other for a moment, and then Gu Gan suddenly changed his target and walked towards the rocks where they were hiding.
"You continue, I'll go out and stall for time," Lian Shen said to Bu San.
Bu San formed hand seals, still trying to break the Earth Punishment Formation.
Lian Shen stepped out from behind the rocks before Gu Gan could make a move. Gu Gan, who was initially on guard, saw him stop and asked in confusion, "Instructor?"
"Good lad, how did you know I was hiding here?" Lian Shen laughed heartily.
Gu Gan did not lower his guard; instead, his heart sank, but he smiled and said, "I just thought there were people here, and my paranoia got the better of me, so I came to check. I didn't expect to actually provoke you out."
After saying that, he changed the subject: "But what are you doing hiding here during the night, Instructor?"
Lian Shen confessed, "We came here to collect the corpses because we thought the three people in the Earth Punishment Formation wouldn't be able to hold on, so we decided to wait here. Of course, we hid here so as not to affect the trial."
Gu Gan asked, "Isn't collecting corpses done in pairs?"
Lian Shen: "I'm the only one left here to wait. What if I'm still alive?"
Sui Sui said there were two people hiding here.
The instructor said that he was the only one there.
Gu Gan chose to believe Yu Sui, so he continued walking forward: "Are you really the only one here?"
Seeing that Gu Gan seemed certain of something and continued walking forward, Lian Shen raised an eyebrow and made a move with his hands under his clothes. When Gu Gan got close to him, he struck first, his five fingers turning into claws and grabbing Gu Gan's shoulder.
Gu Gan was prepared and dodged to the side, but suddenly a tiger's roar that pierced his soul reached his ears, making his chest clench and a metallic taste rise to his throat.
The Five Animals Fight the Tiger in the Heavenly Secrets.
Lian Shen, draped in golden light, transformed into the form of a fierce tiger. He slammed one hand down on Gu Gan, and the huge, sharp tiger claw pressed down on Gu Gan from a distance. Gu Gan quickly dodged away again, but the tiger's paw slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
If Gu Gan hadn't dodged just now, he would probably have been smashed to pieces.
The commotion caused by Lian Shen and Gu Gan's fight attracted the attention of the people inside the Earth Punishment Formation. Yu Sui realized that it wasn't Shen Liu and Lu Pengpeng, but the instructors, and quickly guessed their purpose.
"Why are they fighting?" Mu Mengbai muttered.
Sheng Fei stood to the side with a cold face: "I don't know, you can use the divine wood divination sticks to find out for yourself."
Mu Mengbai couldn't stand his sarcastic tone: "I might as well just ask directly, it's faster than me using the divine wood divination sticks."
Yu Sui said in a low voice, "They started fighting because the instructor wanted to come and kill me to take the Breath of Earth."
Sheng Fei couldn't stand this about her either, and mocked, "Do you think everyone in the world wants to kill you for the sake of the Breath of Earth? Yan Manfeng is already dead. Even if we take back the Breath of Earth now, it will be useless and will only make them look more incompetent."
"Don't think everyone wants to kill you. Are you that important?"
Yu Sui only responded with a smile to Sheng Fei.
Even though he hadn't said anything provocative, Sheng Fei was even more unable to accept it, and asked with a stern face, "What do you mean by laughing?"
"What you said is funny. Can't my sister laugh?" Mu Mengbai pulled Sheng Fei back.
Sheng Fei was about to continue when his tiger paw suddenly slammed down on the earthen formation, shaking away the sandstorm that had enveloped the formation.
Tiger Head also let out a deafening roar in the direction of Yu Sui.
Mu Mengbai was stunned: "Oh no, it seems they really are after my sister."
Sheng Fei was taken aback at first, then became serious, making a hand seal with one hand to make Yu Sui retreat to the back.
Yu Sui ignored him, and Sheng Fei angrily said, "Why are you being so stubborn now? Do you really want to die at their hands and let them take away the Breath Soil?"
"The Earth Punishment Formation hasn't been broken, so we don't need you." Yu Sui looked at Gu Gan in front of her without turning her head.
Mu Mengbai said, "Neither of you should be stubborn, step back together!"
After hearing this, Yu Sui tilted her head to look at Sheng Fei and smiled, "Brother Mu is right, Third Brother, you should still be careful. I don't know how many life-saving techniques Father gave you. You've already used one just now."
Sheng Fei never expected that he would one day trigger the Blessing and Life-Saving Technique in Taiyi. This was an absolute disgrace to him!
He was determined to get revenge on Su Xingchao and Shen Liu.
"I don't need your fake concern." Sheng Fei said this expressionlessly and then stepped forward to push Yu Sui to the back.
Douhu slammed its two front paws against the earthen formation, but Gu Gan flashed back and made a hand seal with one hand: "Break!"
The Divine Strategist Heavenly Official used his power to neutralize Lian Shen's tiger-fighting prowess.
He could have used the Heavenly Official to break the Earth Punishment Formation, but now it seems that not breaking the Earth Punishment Formation can actually protect Yu Sui and the others.
Sheng Fei then ordered Gu Gan: "Quickly use your Divine Mechanism Technique to break the Earth Punishment Formation."
"You'd be better off hiding inside the Earth Punishment Formation." Gu Gan turned and glanced at him.
Sheng Fei: "What do you mean?!"
He had just been mocked by Yu Sui for being careful to save his life, and now he was looked down upon by Gu Gan. Sheng Fei wished he could smash the Earth Punishment Formation open with a single punch.
Before Gu Gan could offer any further explanation, the gleaming scimitar flew from a distance to his front.
Lian Shen took out a string of wine gourds from the mechanism box, took a sip, and when he threw the flying knife again, flames spurted from his mouth onto the knife, and the flames exploded when he flung the curved knife away!
Gu Gan recognized the poisonous fire on the scimitar, his expression changed instantly, and he sped up to dodge. This was not a ninth-class technique that materialized qi, so he could not use the Heavenly Official technique to eliminate it.
Lian Shen used poisonous fire to force Gu Gan away from the earthen formation, giving Bu San more time to break the formation.
After Gu Gan withdrew from the range of the poisonous fire, he exhaled, "Follow the Tiger!"
A famous saying goes, "A giant tiger possesses one's body."
He also used the same tiger roar to shake off the poisonous fire, striking directly at Lian Shen who was hiding behind.
Lian Shen, however, handled the situation with ease. He maintained the distance from the Heavenly Official and once again used the Five Animals Fighting Tiger. Whenever Gu Gan used the Heavenly Official's Elimination of the Nine Streams Technique, he would use his flying curved blade and poisonous fire to force him back.
Gu Gan turned to attack Bu San, who was hiding behind the rocks, but Lian Shen blocked him. The two fought close to each other, their fists and feet clashing.
"Instructor Lian! Yan Manfeng is already dead. What use is it if you take back the Breath of Earth now!" Gu Gan cursed.
Lian Shen's face contorted slightly at the words, and he raised his elbow to block Gu Gan's throat-grabbing blow: "I just regret not acting sooner."
Gu Gan's expression turned completely cold, and he no longer held back.
There's no point in talking to these lunatics who support Yan Manfeng, unless he's willing to let Yu Sui die.
Lian Shen countered Gu Gan's attacking right hand, and a black line slithered rapidly along his arm. The Gu worm followed his fingers to Gu Gan's wrist, but only struggled on the surface of the skin for a couple of moments before falling off.
Seeing this, Gu Gan took the initiative to distance himself from Lian Shen.
Lian Shen looked at him in surprise: "I knew you were a practitioner of both magic and cultivation, but I didn't expect you to be quite skilled in farming as well. Otherwise, how could even the Golden Chan Gu not get close to you?"
Gu Gan said, "Perhaps your Gu technique is not refined enough."
Lian Shen was not provoked, but he used other Gu worms to test Gu Gan. Gu Gan seemed unafraid and attacked Lian Shen despite the pressure from the Gu worms.
Although the Gu worms arrived silently on Gu Gan's body, they were unable to penetrate his protective aura and all fell off his body.
Lian Shen's expression changed from surprise at first to solemnity later.
"Immune to all poisons, impervious to all evil spirits," Lian Shen murmured. "There really is someone who can achieve this level of skill."
He asked in a deep voice, "Your mother is...?"
“I advise you not to make wild guesses.” Gu Gan stood atop the rocks, his hand forming a hand seal. The storm left by the Earth Punishment Array made his collar flutter. “Now is not the time to be distracted by those things.”
Incantations of blue and green appeared in front of Gu Gan, echoing the incantations that landed on Lian Shen's limbs and life points, forming a complete Eight Extremes Thunder Seal.
Legalism, the Eight Extremes of Heavenly Secrets and Thunder.
The blue and green curse marks landed on Lian Shen's skin, and lightning struck him continuously. Just as Lian Shen tried to use his qi to resist, Gu Gan used the Heavenly Official to dispel them.
Lian Shen prevented the curse mark from spreading to his neck, but he could not avoid being injured in the Eight Extremes Thunder, which damaged his soul.
This time, it was Lian Shen's turn to retreat and create distance. Gu Gang had just used his qi to pursue when he heard a crisp sound from behind. The earth punishment formation was broken by a fierce sword qi, and the wind and sand, combined with the remaining poisonous fire, burst into flames.
The flying sparks, like meteors falling from the sky, illuminated the Black River behind it, transforming it into a painting of the Milky Way in the night sky.
The scorching heat wave from the explosion rushed towards the three people inside the formation. Sheng Fei did as he was told and stood at the forefront, while Zi Ling transformed into an ice and frost barrier to block it.
However, it couldn't hold out for even two moments before being shattered by the enormous sword shadow.
The sandstorm formation that had trapped Yu Sui and the others instantly transformed into a sky full of frost swords, chilling them to the bone and radiating murderous intent. The piercing aura froze their bodies and their will to survive.
The brain is frantically warning, but the body has given up the struggle.
Mu Mengbai was so anxious that his eyes almost popped out, but he couldn't move. The divine wooden talisman hanging at his waist trembled slightly.
Sheng Fei secretly gathered his strength, but his dark eyes reflected the scene of Bu San raising his sword and gathering energy.
As Bu San raised his sword, thousands upon thousands of frost swords in the void were aimed at Yu Sui without the slightest hesitation or pause, and they charged out fiercely.
"Sui Sui!" Gu Gan was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned back.
Seeing the ten thousand swords being unleashed simultaneously, Sheng Fei's heart tightened, but he could not turn back.
Standing behind the crowd, Yu Sui looked at Bu San's position from a great distance. The frost swords flying from the frozen ground almost pierced her sleeve.
Without hesitation, Yu Sui unleashed the Five Elements Light Cores the instant the Earth Punishment Formation broke, which pierced through Bu San's chest, causing blood to splatter on the spot.
When Gu Gan rushed back, he used the Heavenly Official to eliminate the Frost Sword Formation, but he was unable to eliminate the sword strike that Bu San made before he died.
The sword energy was unleashed, slashing straight at Gu Gan, who was using his physical body to defend himself. It broke through his protective aura, and the sword energy that pierced through his chest was tinged with blood, sending him flying.
Sheng Fei stared in disbelief at Gu Gan, who had blocked the fatal blow in front of him. The man, covered in blood, brushed past him and fell into the lake of the dead, making a loud splash. It was only when Yu Sui called out "Brother Gu" that Sheng Fei was jolted awake.
"Old Bu!" Lian Shen couldn't believe his eyes either. He rushed towards the dead Bu San, his body severely injured by the Eight Extremes Thunder.
What just happened?
Gu Gan only used the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Official, so how did Lao Bu die?
Lian Shen, enraged, demanded, "Who?!"
Who is secretly protecting Nangong Sui?!
Yu Sui was about to go into the water to retrieve Gu Gan when she reached the water's edge. The shimmering black water reflected her image, causing her to suddenly stop in her tracks.
Just like what she had seen in the Asura Hell of the Special Armor Array, and like a scene that had appeared countless times in her dreams, a girl in a red dress was reflected in the dark, murky lake, her eyes smiling yet full of meaning, and her alluring voice rang in Yu Sui's ears:
"Do you really want to save him?"
"Or is it because you've gotten used to it that you instinctively tried to save him?"
Sheng Fei was somewhat surprised by Yu Sui's sudden pause. He thought Yu Sui would definitely follow down to save Gu Gan without hesitation.
But at this moment, Yu Sui was only staring at the swaying water.
The restlessness in my heart was amplified to an extreme degree, and I was about to lose control.
The girl in the water, extending an invitation to him, smiled slightly and softly persuaded him to let her out. Gradually, the alluring figure transformed into a flickering flame in Yu Sui's eyes.
Just as the cluster of flames drew closer to the water's surface, and the sound of the sparks exploding was about to reach Yu Sui's ears, a powerful blizzard swept in, extinguishing the flames, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the yin and yang to reverse.
The swirling wind and snow forced Yu Sui to retreat, moving her further away from the shores of the Dark Lake.
A white shadow appeared in the black water. No matter the angle, only its enormous size could be observed, and its swaying tail resembled a cloud that blotted out the sky. The white fish chased after Gu Gan, who had fallen into the water, almost linking head to tail, encircling Gu Gan within it.
Black fish swam slowly against the pale sky, responding to the interaction of white fish below and chasing them in the opposite direction.
"The Yin-Yang fish from the Lake of the Dead has really been caught?" Mu Mengbai murmured to himself, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.
Zhang Pinghui, who was still holding the Wind Listening Ruler and waiting for a reply, stood up abruptly: "They even came up with the Yin-Yang symbol?"
The saints outside all looked toward the lake of the underworld, thinking to themselves, "Another appearance of yin and yang has occurred."
At first, no one paid much attention, but after a while, they realized something was wrong and rushed toward the Lake of the Dead.
Zhang Guanyi had been keeping an eye on the Ice Butterfly, but now that something had happened at the Underworld Lake, he found it interesting and asked his junior brother, "Are you going? I want to go and see. These Yin and Yang energies have really found someone. I wonder which unlucky guy it is."
Liang Zhen watched the Ice Butterfly's movements: "Go and take a look, then tell me later."
The ice butterfly flew to a deserted abyss valley and stopped by a clear stream. Night mist filled the air, and the valley was full of unknown purple flowers. For some reason, the ice butterfly flew towards the water, carrying with it the destructive intent of melting into the water.
Liang Zhen quickly scooped it out of the water, and the ice butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away again.
Just then, Yu Sui, standing by the lake, clenched his fists and slowly placed them on his chest to suppress his frantic heartbeat.
At this moment, she was not distracted by the appearance of the yin-yang symbol.
Yu Sui lowered her eyes, concealing the surprise in them.
Just now, her soul bond with Mei Liangyu was broken.
