Chapter 155 You hurt her with this hand, didn't you?
On the outskirts of Kyoto, the sky was dark and gloomy, the moonlight blocked by layers of clouds, yet a young girl still smiled and gazed at the man in front of her.
“Come on, show me,” Mu Jianjian spread her hands, a sly glint in her eyes, “show me how you broke this wall.”
Qu You touched the transparent wall in front of him with both hands, leaned forward to meet the gaze of the girl outside, and clearly saw that beneath her beautiful smile lay absolute calmness and decisiveness.
He only made one move, and she quickly imitated it.
"Junior Sister," Qu You paused for a moment and then continued, "then watch carefully."
Mu Jianjian retreated warily, only to see the same golden threads appear in the man's eyes as hers, but the light was even more magnificent and dazzling. Countless illusory butterflies flew out and pounced on her, making her feel as if she had entered a dense illusion of killing intent, unable to move.
"Click-clack—"
The next second, with Qu You's hand as the center, the entire wall shattered.
What just happened?
According to what he just said, once the entire wall is formed, true energy should be ineffective, so why does the wall still shatter from the inside?
Mu Jianjian's vision was blocked. She quickly reacted and raised her right hand to summon Huang Quan again, but a sharp blade attacked her chin from below!
Wow, so fast!
Completely...unable to react...
Is this his true speed?
"Junior Sister, the Pupil Transformation Technique was only known to me ten thousand years ago. I don't know where you stole it from in the Upper Realm—" Qu You raised her eyes, addressing her with an affectionate title, but the content of her voice made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
"Spit it out now."
Mu Jianjian shifted her body to the side. Since she couldn't dodge, she would minimize the damage!
"Tear—"
The outer garment at the chest of her upper body was torn, and the gleaming blade moved upwards. The amethyst necklace that was worn under the clothes around the girl's neck was hooked out by the corner of the blade, and her fair and delicate neck was slashed with blood in the next second.
Mu Jianjian looked up in pain, staring at the broken amethyst necklace that had risen into the air, and subconsciously got up and reached out to grab it.
That was the necklace her master left her after giving her the booklet on eye techniques in the secret realm!
She had to get it no matter what.
Just as the necklace was about to be in his hands, a dark shadow flashed by and swiftly snatched it away.
Mu Jianjian, panting and regulating her inner energy, looked at the man who had landed on the ground and was staring intently at the amethyst necklace. Before she could speak, she saw him turn his head, and the madness in his eyes startled her.
Where did you get this necklace?
Mu Jianjian was baffled; that necklace was hers!
Seeing that the girl did not reply, Qu You repeated his words again, word by word, his tone more agitated, like a gas cylinder with its valve turned on, the emotions brewing in his dark eyes seeming to tear people apart.
Has he seen this necklace before?
Before Mu Jianjian could even speak to buy time, Qu You sneered, took a step in front of the girl, and was about to lift her up when he felt a surge of cold air coming from his right side.
Qu You took a few steps back and looked at the person who came, clutching the broken amethyst necklace tightly in her hand, so tightly that she didn't even notice the blood seeping out.
Someone arrived, and reason told him he should leave first to prevent any unforeseen events from disrupting his plans.
but……
Qu You stood in the shade of the trees, looking down at the necklace again, scrutinizing every single detail.
My restless heart has finally returned to peace.
Xuan Shuang taught Mu Jianjian.
They will meet again, but next time she won't be so lucky as to have someone come to her rescue.

"Stop chasing, Yueyue." Mu Jianjian grabbed Sang Wanyue's hand, stopping her from getting up to chase after the person. Because of her violent coughing, more and more blood flowed from the wound, soaking her clothes.
Sang Wanyue quickly took out a pill and said, "Open your mouth."
Mu Jianjian obediently swallowed it. "How did you end up here?"
Wow, we found her so quickly!
“Bi Fang brought me here,” Sang Wanyue’s eyes swept over Mu Jianjian’s neck, then down to the girl’s torn outer garment. Her face immediately darkened. “Who was that person just now?”
Mu Jianjian bit her lip, her expression flickering, unsure whether she should tell the whole story.
She knew Sang Wanyue's personality too well and was afraid that she might impulsively go to the people of the Upper Realm and get hurt.
“Jianjian, I’m not as fragile as you think.” Sang Wanyue saw through the girl’s thoughts at a glance. She sighed softly and hugged her. “I’ve said it before, if trouble comes to you, then come to me.”
Mu Jianjian then spoke up, "I guess it was Jin Fuzhen who called them."
Sang Wanyue lowered her eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them.
“But he comes from the upper realm, and that body is not his real body. Even if you catch up with him and kill him, he can reincarnate,” Mu Jianjian explained the reason why she had just stopped Sang Wanyue. “I met him before in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. He was the one who used a secret technique to transfer me away in the Fan Jin Palace.”
After she finished speaking, she looked up from the woman's embrace and asked, "Yueyue, promise me you won't make a move until I've figured out what's going on with them, okay?"
“I’ll take you back.” Sang Wanyue stood up, without answering the girl’s question.
Seeing that the other person wasn't listening to her, Mu Jianjian pouted and asked, "Don't you think it's too early to go back now?"
Sang Wanyue looked down and saw the girl wink at her, instantly figuring out what the other girl wanted to do. She smiled slightly and said, "I have a high-grade Qi Condensation Talisman."
“That’s obvious. What if the Golden Crow Shrine has a cultivator who has reached the peak of Core Formation this time?” Mu Jianjian chuckled. “Yueyue, come with me.”
Although the wound Qu You made on her neck was deep, it quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed over thanks to a high-quality elixir, and she was fine.
Since she wasn't sure if it was Jin Fuzhen who had sent them, she decided to go and find out with Yueyue that night.
——
Outside the residence of the Golden Crow Temple in the Demon Palace.
As soon as Qu You stepped into the courtyard with his left foot, he found himself in a completely different place in the blink of an eye. He quickly put the amethyst necklace in his hand into his spatial bag and frowned as he looked around.
The vast palace room contained only a few simple bookshelves and desks, and was so quiet that it seemed as if only his breathing could be heard.
“Your Highness,” Qu You sneered, “you know my true form isn’t here, so what’s the point of using the Luo Gua chess set to move me here?”
“It’s no use,” Chi Wenqing’s gentle voice came from behind him, “I just don’t know how many more times your soul can withstand the alien technique.”
The more times you use the alien body technique, the greater the wear and tear on your soul.
Qu You paused, then seemed to remember something. He turned to meet the gaze of the white-robed man before him, chuckled a few times, and slowly said, "Your Highness, have you fallen for that woman from the lower realm?"
When Qu You was killed by the other party in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm last time, he thought it was because he used the Pupil Transformation Technique to expose his aura. But now that he thinks about it, it seems that the other party was only after one person from beginning to end.
His Highness's Achilles' heel!
Why did the young prince, who was in a weak position ten thousand years ago, disrupt the situation in the upper realm?
It is precisely because he is heartless and ruthless that he can kill thousands of people with a smile and a wave of his hand. But even the most powerful and terrifying person is nothing once he has a weakness.
This discovery excited Qu You.
"yes."
Chi Wenqing chuckled and nodded, leaving him puzzled.
Would His Highness really be so open and obvious as to reveal his weakness?
Is it real... or just a smokescreen?
Qu You smirked, "Your Highness, you can kill me now. If I return to my true form, the first thing I'll do is tell Immortal Venerable Bai. What do you think that woman will do then?"
Dressed in snow-white robes, Chi Wenqing possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, still looking down upon all living beings like an immortal. He smiled and said, "Qu You, don't you want to know why Immortal Zilu left you back then?"
Upon hearing the name mentioned, Qu You could no longer contain his rage. Before he could even raise his hand, with a "snap," his entire right arm was severed and flung a hundred meters away. Blood gushed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth, and moments later, pain engulfed his entire body.
"You hurt her with this hand, didn't you?"
The white-clad man's elegant and refined smile now resembled that of a demon.
