Chapter 310 The Confession
As soon as Xin Hun Yin finished speaking, Bai Ruoqian let out a heart-wrenching wail. In just a moment, she was actually crippled.
This scene stunned all the disciples watching below. Seeing Bai Ruoqian faint from the excruciating pain, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They never expected her to be so resolute and ruthless.
"Junior Sister!" Su Yuyuan's eyes turned bloodshot and her liver and gallbladder were shattered. She summoned her magic weapon and was about to rush forward to fight, but before she could even get close, she was slapped down by a golden vine.
Immediately afterwards, the vines that had transformed into sharp spikes suddenly shot towards Su Yuyuan on the ground, and it looked as if they were about to pierce through his body.
At this critical moment, Yang Shen flashed out and erected a spiritual energy shield, then grabbed him and fled, barely saving his life.
Su Yuyuan finally came to his senses, but as if he had no memory, he struggled to run out of the magic circle.
This completely enraged Yang Shen, who raised his hand and slapped him across the face, shouting, "Calm down!"
Su Yuyuan's eyes were brimming with tears. She gripped his sleeve tightly and choked out, "Senior Brother, she is our Junior Sister... Please save her!"
Yang Shen's eyes were filled with pain, but he just looked at him without saying a word.
"Hmph, you think you can compete with me? You're really overestimating yourselves." Xin Hun Yin smiled contemptuously and continued, "Besides, the cultivation talent she's displaying now, as well as the mental cultivation techniques, sword manuals, and various cultivation treasures she possesses, were all given to her by me. Now I'm just taking them all back."
"Take it back?"
"My God, so all her amazing talents were given to her by this evil spirit? This is unbelievable!"
"Hmph, once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; she deserves to end up like this!"
"Exactly, he deserved it!"
...
Looking at Bai Ruoqian, bound by black energy, her face deathly pale and seemingly half-dead, Ye Luo couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. Regardless of whether she would live or not, she had already become a cripple.
In this cultivation world where the strong are respected, the tragic end of such a discarded pawn whose cultivation has been crippled is easily imaginable.
"Ye Luo, what do you think of my sincerity?"
The voice of the Soul Guide brought Ye Luo back to his senses. He crossed his arms and looked at her, then chuckled after a moment, "So-so."
"So you're agreeing?"
Hearing her words, Ye Luo couldn't help but chuckle, "Did I say I would definitely agree? I just said I would think about it."
Hearing this, Xinhun Yin didn't get angry but laughed instead, "I knew you wouldn't give in so easily."
Ye Luo wore a warm smile and asked with suspicion, "Since you knew perfectly well what was going on, why did you still choose to cripple her? So... what are you planning?"
Based on his understanding of the Soul Guide, this guy was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason, and he wouldn't do these meaningless things for no reason. He must be up to something bad.
Xinhun smiled and said frankly, "Of course, I'm looking for a team."
Ye Luo frowned slightly: "Team up?"
Have you ever played esports games?
“Of course.” Ye Luo pondered her words, then suddenly seemed to understand a question that had been puzzling him for a long time, “What does this have to do with the cultivation world?”
Xin Hun Yin smiled meaningfully, "Heh, aren't all of us here just playing a role-playing game?"
Ye Luo's pupils narrowed slightly, and he said seriously, "You mean... this cultivation world is actually a dungeon?"
"Pretty much the same."
The two men's conversation, which sounded like a riddle, left everyone present completely bewildered, unable to understand what they were saying.
However, there was one exception: Lü Xuan.
She stared in disbelief at the two figures confronting each other in the sky, not daring to utter a single breath.
Ye Luo's expression remained unchanged as she asked, "How did you find out?"
“I have been here for ten thousand years.”
The Soul Guide pulled the bound Bai Ruoqian closer, playfully patted her cheek, and chuckled, "In these ten thousand years... I have encountered more than just you and Bai Ruoqian, two transmigrators. They are men and women, with good and bad aptitudes, and all believe that they are the masters of this world, but unfortunately, none of them have been able to reach the peak."
Ye Luo suddenly realized something, which resolved his long-standing confusion. He chuckled and said, "So, those 'protagonists' who quickly rose to prominence, you probably managed to kill them all by any means necessary, right?"
Xin Hun Yin said, "I guess so. They all think I have a cheat code, so they naturally listen to my every word. It would be very easy to kill them."
"Like a fool like Bai Ruoqian?"
“That’s right.” Xin Hun Yin thought for a moment, then said, “But there are also clever ones, such as the Holy Maiden of Tantai Immortal Mountain, but I subdued her quickly. I’m quite satisfied with her body.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo's eyes turned slightly cold, and she clenched her fists, continuing to ask, "I'm a little curious, what do you gain from poisoning these people like this?"
"Hmph." The Soul Guide's face was full of arrogance. "Naturally, it's me who will pass the trials and reach the True Immortal realm!"
"..."
Ye Luo was covered in sweat. What kind of late-stage chuunibyou was this? And she had been suffering from it for ten thousand years, it had become an obsession of hers.
"So, the cooperation you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be trying to possess me, would you?"
"That's right! You possess a Heavenly Spirit Body, a rare find even once in ten thousand years, far surpassing those of the past!" Xin Hun Yin seemed somewhat excited, his eyes revealing longing. "As long as we work together, reaching the pinnacle of True Immortalhood is just around the corner!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? Since everyone in this cultivation world can be a protagonist, why should I cooperate with you?"
Ye Luo smiled contemptuously. "You're nothing but a wretched soul clinging to life. What right do you have to talk to me about cooperation?"
"Just because of this."
On the palm of the Soul Guide, several broken pieces of jade floated. "This is called the Time-Turning Jade. It is my greatest reliance."
"Time-Turning Jade?"
Ye Luo recalled that on the Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform, the Heavenly Dao clone had told him that this evil jade could ignore the laws of heaven and earth, and could infinitely manipulate the power of space, and even reverse time.
This bug-like existence is truly an incredible cheat code; no wonder the Heavenly Dao has been unable to eliminate her despite repeated attempts. It seems that this strange jade is the key.
"I can sense that you have two fragments of jade. If you cooperate with me to collect these fragments, it will be no problem for us to ascend to the True Immortal realm together!"
Hearing her bold words, Ye Luo laughed heartily without any attempt to hide it, and Xin Hun Yin looked at him angrily and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"If I remember correctly, you just said that only you can become a true immortal, right? It seems that it's not impossible for you to be so ungrateful."
"I guarantee that after I become a true immortal and create an avatar, I will never invade your main body. If you still have any concerns, I can also form a heart seal with you and live and die together with you thereafter."
