Chapter 401: Chapter 402 The Change of Feng Jingtian (Part Two)
Inside a magnificent room, a table held an incense burner, and the large red bed was carved with the patterns of rare demon beasts. Lan Yue quietly took in all the fixtures of the room, her eyes gradually deepening, “Mu Ruyue, the debt you owe me, I will make sure you pay it back! No, you shall pay it back a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, only then can it compensate for the humiliation you and her brought upon me!”
Lan Yue slowly closed her eyes.
Past events flew by in front of her eyes like a slow-motion reel, causing her body to tremble slightly. Boundless hatred invaded her heart, dominating her emotions.
If Mu Ruyue were here, she would definitely kill her without hesitation!
However…
Lan Yue let out a cold laugh, “Mu Ruyue, killing you would be too easy on you. I want you to become my strength! As long as I devour your soul, I will possess the same formidable spiritual power as you. Then I can replace you and have everything that’s yours…”
This was the purpose of her coming to this place!
“To achieve this goal, I didn’t hesitate to fabricate a mark, one that merged into the soul, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to deceive that old woman.”
She furrowed her brows slightly, still remembering the pain of it merging with her soul, but as long as there was a way to kill her, she could bear any pain!
…
In the back mountain, along the winding mountain path, Luo Yin’s steps were hasty, his old face clearly anxious. But this time, he wasn’t able to pass through the mountain gate smoothly; as he took a step forward, a ray of light blocked him and pushed him back.
“Luo Yin, starting today, we are beginning our seclusion. When we emerge from seclusion, we will be able to leave the back mountain for a brief moment, so don’t come and disturb us during this period.”
If one could rely on magical treasures after death, perhaps they might not perish, such as the Old Ancestor of the Feng Family and Zi Feng, among others. Although such treasures are rare, some people are lucky enough to obtain them. Of course, without a treasure like the ancestors, they could only rely on a formation to maintain their soul intact.
The only difference between the two methods is that those with magical treasures can move with them. That is, as long as someone holds the treasure, they can come and go freely.
But the ancestors couldn’t do that.
Therefore, they had to resort to tampering with the formation…
After a millennium of research, a method had been devised to briefly extend the formation across the entire Academy, which would allow them to temporarily leave the back mountain.
Now that they were at a critical juncture, they naturally wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb them…
“The ancestors choose neither to seclude earlier nor later, but at this exact critical moment!” Luo Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead in anxiety and said, “Now what do we do? I can’t break in, and I don’t have the powerful transmissive abilities of the ancestors. Qi Rong, that madwoman, never listens to reason and is capable of anything. If she really makes a move against the girl…”
Luo Yin shivered violently.
He could imagine the fury of the ancestors when they came out of their seclusion; by then the Academy would surely be a living hell…
“If only Master were still here, but sadly he passed away too early. Qi Rong is unreasonable and incredibly stubborn; once she’s set on something, not even ten oxen could pull her back. Moon Venerate is a powerful Alchemy Master; that woman named Lan Yue can’t refine elixirs, yet claims her soul was injured during reincarnation…”
Luo Yin sneered coldly; he was completely certain that Lan Yue was an impostor, but with the ancestors in seclusion, the only person who could prove Moon Venerate’s identity was gone…
