Chapter 43 Eight Palms
Chapter 43 Eight Palms
If it weren't for this attic, this place would definitely be a restricted area, and no one else could easily step into it.
Long Xiao led the woman to the only pavilion and turned back to gaze at her with burning eyes.
Whenever he saw that woman's stunningly beautiful face and her ridiculously hot figure that made his nose bleed, he couldn't help but feel a strong surge of lust.
But considering that he had important matters to attend to and that bringing the woman here had already taken a very long time, he knew that if he continued to delay, it would displease the elders. If the elders were to become enraged, his position as steward would be over, and he would face death. He dared not easily provoke the elders' anger.
Long Xiao grinned maliciously:
"You may wash up here and wait for my return before I enjoy you at my leisure."
The deacon's lips curled into a wicked smile, his expression extremely lewd.
A flicker of pain suddenly flashed in the woman's lifeless eyes. She looked shy, her face slightly flushed, which only excited Long Xiao more. He laughed and took a step forward, heading towards the floor where the elders were.
Long Xiao was extremely happy this time. He was really lucky. He had never met such a charming woman in all the assessments he had taken.
And he just happened to encounter this regulatory assessment, it was as if heaven was lending him a helping hand.
He would enjoy this woman for all eternity and would never lend her out.
As Long Xiao left, Su Yao felt exhausted and looked at the picturesque fairyland before her with despair, giving a bitter smile.
If she were free, and had passed the test and obtained such a cave dwelling through her own abilities, she would surely be radiant with joy, full of hope for the future.
But now, the result is so ridiculous.
Su Yao's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with pain: she had clearly achieved her initial goal of passing the test and joining the Star Devouring Sect.
But why do I feel so desperate now?
She had even fantasized that if she became a powerful figure and an outer disciple of the Star Devouring Sect, she would have a prestigious status and would want to go to the mortal world to find some handsome young men as her male concubines, so that she could enjoy all the good things in the world.
But now that she has lost and become someone else's concubine, what right does she have to feel heartbroken and shed tears?
But the more Su Yao thought about it, the more she felt that her chastity would eventually be forcibly taken away by someone else.
Long Xiao, on the other hand, was just an ordinary person.
To put it bluntly, she's even a bit ugly. If she were even slightly better looking, she wouldn't be in such despair now.
Thinking of this, Su Yao seemed unwilling to bear the humiliation in her heart, so she hardened her heart, held the immortal sword to her neck, gritted her teeth, gripped the hilt tightly, and pushed it hard against her neck.
But at this moment, she felt she couldn't bring herself to do it, and even though she hadn't given up, she hesitated to commit suicide.
Immediately, Su Yao burst into tears, and casually threw the immortal sword in her hand to the ground.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
"I, Su Yao, was clearly a proud daughter of heaven, but now I've become a prisoner, still clinging to this laughable life, not daring to end it, trying to retain the last bit of dignity."
"Ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
Su Yao seemed to have gone mad. Her beautiful hairpin suddenly shot out with a "bang" as if drawn by divine power, crashing into a tree trunk beside her.
Her hair fluttered in the wind as she walked along the mountain path, tears streaming down her face amidst the breathtaking scenery. The beautiful scene was incredibly poignant.
The entire scene just now was witnessed by Li Lan, who had already arrived at this perilous place.
"If you're unwilling, why don't you muster the courage to fight to the death?"
Li Lan leaned against a tree and said calmly.
"Who?"
Su Yao was startled and turned around. When she saw Li Lan, her eyes were filled with surprise:
"why you?"
Su Yao was quite familiar with Li Lan. When she arrived at the training ground, she saw her master, Luo Ye, seemingly chatting and laughing with Li Lan, but in reality, his words were full of sarcasm.
Therefore, she had a very deep impression of Li Lan.
What surprised her even more was that Li Lan actually survived the test after passing it; she never expected that someone like Li Lan could pass the test.
However, she only glanced at it casually at the time and then paid no more attention to it.
Because she couldn't even protect herself anymore.
Upon seeing Li Lan's arrival, Su Yao's eyes were filled with disgust and anger. Her face flushed red, and she said angrily:
"What? You've come here to laugh at me?"
Su Yao clenched her fists, her divine power surging within her, the power in her dantian flowing through her limbs, and coldly said:
"If you're trying to mock me, you're far from being good enough!"
Su Yao snorted coldly. In her opinion, Li Lan's ability to pass the test was purely due to sheer luck.
Moreover, in her heart, she felt weaker than this steward.
That doesn't mean she's weaker than Li Lan. If they really fight it out, it's hard to say what will happen in the end.
Therefore, Su Yao had already decided that if Li Lan dared to speak rudely or make sarcastic remarks again, she would strike immediately and kill him on the spot.
Even a hint of resentment and wickedness flashed between Su Yao's brows. Li Lan was indeed extremely handsome, and could satisfy her desire to find a handsome young man.
But now she's just a prisoner, someone else's concubine, so how could she possibly be qualified to have a male concubine?
But wouldn't it be wonderful to use Li Lan's head as a wine vessel?
Immediately, Su Yao, who was already filled with despair and anger, had her last remaining trace of kindness slowly eroded away under the influence of her own evil state of mind and the evil techniques of the Great Black Heaven Realm.
Seeing this, Li Lan shook his head and said bluntly:
"Fairy, you misunderstand. I've only come to ask how the calf died."
"Oh? So you're asking about that idiot?"
Su Yao suddenly burst into laughter.
But tears kept streaming down her face.
Li Lan frowned slightly, feeling displeased.
But he still suppressed his anger and quietly looked at the woman.
Su Yao's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile:
Why should I, a fairy, tell you?
After saying this, Su Yao seemed to have thought of something, and an amusing idea arose in her mind: Since my path of cultivation is not going smoothly, then none of you should think about living a good life!
Su Yao immediately said sternly:
"You dare to come here, you must have been followed, right?"
"When Deacon Longxiao returns, if I tell him about this, you and your two followers will surely lose your lives here!"
Li Lan was speechless after hearing this. It seemed that there wasn't a single normal person in the Great Black Heaven Realm; everyone was so wicked.
Li Lan shook his head and sighed helplessly. To be honest, if he could avoid using force, he would be very reluctant to take action. After all, a gentleman uses words, not fists, which is a principle of conduct imprinted in his soul since he came from Earth.
However, Li Lan was still willing to give the other party a chance, mainly because he had forcibly used the Soul Searching Technique. Li Lan was not sure whether his divine power would come into contact with their supernatural abilities or cultivation system in this Great Black Heaven Realm.
Even rejection.
If handled improperly, causing the divine power and evil energy within the cultivation system of the Dark Heaven Realm to repel the opponent, not only will the memories of the calf be lost, but the calf's soul will also be shattered, posing a certain threat to oneself.
After all, if he killed Long Xiao's people, and the other party tried every means to find out who did it, it would be fine if they couldn't find out, but if they did, it would just cause him some trouble.
It's better to avoid trouble.
So after thinking it over, Li Lan finally decided to resolve the issue peacefully.
The fact that this woman could endure such humiliation without being able to resist shows that she was not someone who was willing to submit to fate.
Li Lan could roughly guess what kind of constraints led to this decision.
Immediately, a brilliant light flashed in Li Lan's eyes. Li Lan's eyes lit up, and he used the power of his Heavenly Eye to look into the depths of the woman's soul. He saw that her complete soul was missing a trace. Sure enough, her soul imprint had been seized by someone else.
Li Lan suddenly realized that Su Yao had clearly handed over a trace of her soul imprint to Long Xiao as leverage. Now, whether she lived or died, she was in Long Xiao's hands. He could kill her instantly with just a thought.
She couldn't even bring herself to commit suicide.
It can be said that Su Yao is now completely Long Xiao's puppet, controlled by him, and there is no more tragic way in the world than this.
"what are you doing?"
Su Yao was startled when she saw Li Lan staring at her and a flash of divine power appear in his eyes. She wondered what Li Lan was going to do, so she immediately transformed the divine power in her body into immortal energy and surrounded herself to try to resist Li Lan's probing.
But it had no effect whatsoever.
In particular, the feeling of being spied on grew stronger and stronger, as if everything about her was completely exposed in front of Li Lan, as if she were completely naked in front of him. This made Su Yao blush with embarrassment, and she quickly covered her private parts and screamed.
"You lecherous scoundrel, close your eyes right now!"
Su Yao shouted anxiously, trying to stop Li Lan but not daring to let go.
Seeing this, Li Lan shook his head, withdrew his supernatural power, and then spoke directly.
"If you are willing to tell me about the calf in detail, I can help you get back the wisp of your soul imprint."
"what?"
Su Yao, who was still covering her private parts, suddenly froze, staring at Li Lan with disbelief in her eyes: "How is this possible?"
“He is a powerful Divine Servant, and has reached the peak. Even a Divine Sense expert would have no chance of extracting a wisp of my soul imprint. I must hand it over voluntarily.”
"Furthermore, even cultivators who have reached the level of Divine Envoys would have no chance of probing the missing piece of my soul deep within. Only quasi-god level experts would have even the slightest chance."
But Su Yao looked at Li Lan in front of her with disbelief. No matter how she looked at him, she didn't think Li Lan was a quasi-god level expert.
It should be noted that all the quasi-god level experts are renowned figures in the Great Black Heaven Realm, each of them being a powerful patriarch in their own right.
Some of them are even founding figures who have lived for millions or even tens of millions of years, perhaps even longer than the birth of the Great Dark Heaven Realm, and their origins are impossible to trace.
Such an old monster could not have appeared after a million years. In those million years, no quasi-god powerhouse appeared. The strongest was only a divine messenger. It seems that the number of quasi-gods that can exist in the world is limited, and the peak is the peak of the divine messenger.
That's why Su Yao was so shocked when Li Lan said that her soul was flawed.
Could Li Lan really be a quasi-god level expert?
But looking at Li Lan's young bone age, Su Yao couldn't believe it.
Or does Li Lan possess a secret method that allows him to see into other people's souls?
Su Yao frowned, becoming increasingly convinced of this answer.
So that's how it is.
However, this person's secret technique piqued Su Yao's interest in having a match with him.
Only then did she realize that Li Lan not only possessed the secret method to peer into other people's souls.
There are even secret techniques that allow people to conceal their cultivation level, making it impossible for others to know how strong Li Lan is. Naturally, they also cannot judge whether they are a match for him, and dare not make a move easily, in case the opponent is a strong person.
