Chapter 309 Confrontation: Soul-Stealing Connection
"I...I really don't know...I didn't lie to you."
Seeing that he turned away angrily, looking like he didn't want to talk to him, Feng Yue carefully moved over and said, "You, you don't need to worry... I'm fine."
"Who's worried about you? You really know how to make yourself look good!" Qingyu turned her head and glared at him angrily, then hugged her knees and stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward. Feng Yue looked at the glaring red pinch marks and took out a box of ointment from his storage bag.
She dabbed some liquid on her fingertips, intending to apply it to the wound, but was so startled that he shrank back, turned around, and glared at her angrily, saying, "What are you doing!"
"Apply the medicine," Feng Yue explained. "This medicine is very effective; you'll be better soon."
Qingyu initially wanted to refuse, but seeing his pitiful appearance, she snatched the ointment from his hand and applied it herself, muttering under her breath, "Hmph, don't think I'll forgive you just like that..."
With a loud rumble, swarms of spiders suddenly emerged from the ruins of the temples on the ground, causing everyone to panic.
Fortunately, Ye Luo had set up a defensive array early on, so the demonic beasts just circled around and showed no intention of launching an attack.
Bai Ruoqian glanced at the crowd below and sneered with disdain, "I never expected that you trash could still show your faces!"
Hearing the mocking voices, everyone looked up at the sky and saw Bai Ruoqian standing on the Bat King's back, looking down at them with a face full of disdain.
Yu Qianling and the others finally caught up with her. They immediately got into position and became alert, spreading out to protect Nan Muyin as she underwent her tribulation, wanting to see what she was up to.
"It's her? Bai Ruoqian!"
"You bitch, how dare you show your face? I'll kill you!"
"Kill her, avenge our fallen comrades!!"
Hearing the angry roars of the crowd, Bai Ruoqian's face grew even more gloomy. "Enough with the nonsense! None of you will escape today!"
"Bai Ruoqian, you should just give up." Ye Luo stood steadily on the back of the six-winged fire lizard, looked at her from afar for a moment, and said calmly, "You have no right to speak here. Let whatever is hidden inside you come out."
Hearing Ye Luo's arrogant tone, Bai Ruoqian felt a surge of anger, her chest heaving violently.
"Ye Luo, who do you think you are! Don't think I don't know that you only got your cultivation level by selling your body to please men! You dare to act so arrogantly in front of me!"
"Hmm? Judging from your exasperated look, are you jealous of me?"
Ye Luo gave a pitying sneer, looked her up and down and shook her head, "What a pity, my Junyi doesn't even look at you, you should just give up."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Alright, alright, chatting with you is really beneath me." Ye Luo waved her hand impatiently, glanced at her sideways, and sneered, "Hey, aren't you going to come out?"
Seeing Ye Luo's blatant disregard for her, Bai Ruoqian's face turned ashen with anger. Just as she was about to unleash a furious retort, the Soul Guide appeared from within her body and chuckled, "Are you begging this Holy Maiden for mercy?"
"Saintess?" Ye Luo chuckled upon hearing this. "Alright, you imposter, you're putting on quite a show. Please recognize the current situation. Don't you think you've got this backwards?"
Hearing Ye Luo's words, Xin Hun Yin could roughly guess the whole story. "Hmph, she's the one who let you out?"
“That’s right.” Ye Luo’s joking expression vanished, replaced by a murderous glint in her icy eyes. “You should pay your debts to her now, and I should settle my debts with you now.”
"Forget about her, the dead don't count." Xin Hunyin chuckled lightly, then looked at Ye Luo and pondered for a moment before saying, "But in the end, I haven't committed any life-or-death feud with you. Why don't we put aside our past grievances and work together?"
"Oh? No enmity?" Ye Luo raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "What kind of cooperation?"
“Naturally, it is to dominate this world and become its ruler.” The soul-introducing Ye Luo was expressionless, and for a moment, no one could guess his thoughts, so he continued, “Actually, I quite admire you. You have courage and strategy. Since we are both transmigrators, why not form a united front and join forces?”
Before Ye Luo could even respond to her suggestion, Bai Ruoqian protested sternly, "I disagree!"
Looking at Ye Luo, who was smiling across from her, she was even more furious, her teeth itching with rage. "Soul Guide, what exactly do you want? We've ended up in this situation all because of him! And you actually want to cooperate with him?!"
"Insolence!" Xin Hunyin shouted sternly, "You're becoming more and more unruly. You have no right to speak here!"
"You!" Bai Ruoqian felt utterly humiliated in front of everyone after being rebuked like that. Her anger overwhelmed her reason. "I don't care! There's no room for negotiation! If you insist on this, then we'll just go our separate ways!"
Ye Luo looked at the two arguing opposite her, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she chuckled, saying, "Heart Soul Guide, is it? I think your suggestion isn't impossible, but you have to agree to one condition first, and maybe I'll consider it."
Upon hearing Ye Luo's words, Xin Hun Yin looked somewhat surprised and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Ye Luo looked at Bai Ruoqian, whose face was gloomy, and grinned, saying, "Let's cripple her cultivation first."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's face froze for a moment, then she instantly bristled again, angrily saying, "Ye Luo, don't even think about sowing discord! You think you can do this—"
"OK."
A cold voice interrupted Bai Ruoqian's words, and her mind went blank for a moment. She seemed to have forgotten her anger, and her pale face was full of disbelief. She said in a hoarse voice, "What...what did you say?"
"Didn't you hear that? Why ask such a redundant question?" Xin Hunyin chuckled disdainfully. "Anyway, you're useless now. Sacrificing you to gain a powerful ally seems like a good deal."
"You...you're kidding, right?"
"What do you think?" Xin Hun Yin chuckled, his tone revealing a chilling coldness that made Bai Ruoqian instinctively want to escape, only to find that she couldn't move her body.
"Soul Guide!"
Bai Ruoqian panicked, her terrified face filled with pleading, "I've been loyal to you all these years, obeying your every word, you can't treat me like this!"
"Hmph, obedient to my every word?" Xin Hun Yin's cold aura was icy as he pulled her to his side and said coldly, "If you were truly obedient to my every word, how could I have ended up in this predicament! You are a piece of useless mud that can't be plastered on a wall, yet you dare to be so insolent in front of me!"
