249: Chapter 249 I Don't Want to Let You Down
Under the night sky.
Xing Yaoyan had just returned from the underground bar.
The Dream Beast had already agreed to use the power of the Bridge of Worlds to help her search for traces of Qian Mo. Although the overall combat strength of this organization wasn't very strong, it was fortunate that they were widely distributed, and when it came to escape techniques, they were top-notch experts. Having them help would definitely be a good choice.
As for the Star Cult...
Each Star Cult Priest only met during the monthly Xingyao Meeting; other than that, there was almost no opportunity.
Everyone was unwilling to reveal their true identities, so except for very rare cases, almost no one would tell others who they really were.
Like the contact information Xing Yaoyan had exchanged with Crystal Coin back then, they were all anonymous numbers; there was simply no way to find the actual person.
Moreover, she didn't dare to let that group of lunatics help. Although the aura of Qian Mo's Star Body was already well-hidden, who knew if that group of people in the Star Cult had special methods to identify it...
After all, their Souls were almost all bound to Star Souls, and their strength was not weak. Their sensitivity to the Star Body must be very high. Who knew if they would have ulterior motives after discovering this secret of Qian Mo...
Xing Yaoyan scratched her hair in annoyance, and unconsciously, she mocked herself in her heart:
"Look at you, Xing Yaoyan. Didn't you agree to stand at the Peak of the world? How can you still be limited by these romantic entanglements, getting yourself so restless? Is he really worth this for you..."
And just when she was feeling lost, a provocative voice came from within her Soul sea:
"What's wrong, our 'Qiming' Priest? Why do you look like you're dying? Hahaha... I really wish I had a camera to capture you right now..."
"Huan Wuxing?" Xing Yaoyan's Soul avatar appeared in front of Huan Wuxing's spiritual body, looking at her coldly. "Haven't beaten you in a few days, so now you're getting cocky, right? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Through the appearance of "Xing Yaoyan," she had already roughly figured out how to use the Star Pattern. As long as she recited the Heart-Clearing Incantation silently and recalled the obsession she wanted to fulfill most in her mind before her consciousness dissipated, she could let that version of herself do things for her.
And with that version of her strength, although not absolute, making this "arrogant and domineering Young Miss" suffer for a while was still doable.
"Tch... getting worked up again..." The other party seemed to know her trump card, and the volume of her voice immediately dropped a notch. "I'm asking when you can open my viewing permissions. All day long, I'm just here with these ugly of yours..."
Almost all the Star Souls turned their heads in unison upon hearing this, staring at Huan Wuxing with unfriendly expressions.
"Ahem... staying with these hundreds of your tenants, it's boring to death..." Huan Wuxing quickly corrected herself.
"That's because you wanted to come in yourself back then..."
"What do you mean I wanted to come in? Wasn't it because you touched me there... and I wasn't paying attention, so I was dragged in by you?"
"If you hadn't been captured on purpose, with your strength, who could catch you, you stupid woman."
Judging by the information transmitted by the Power Of Will in the Soul sea, Huan Wuxing had at least Tier 7 strength, but ever since she arrived here, her entire Soul had been imprisoned by an unknown force.
Previously, Xing Yaoyan thought she had stayed behind with ulterior motives, but after so long, she truly confirmed that the other party really had no means of escaping her Soul sea. At most, she could only rely on her own ability to form a transparent protective film to prevent herself from being swallowed by her Power Of Will...
This meant she had been a bit overconfident... Hmm, probably...
Huan Wuxing was not happy when she heard this.
"You... why do you speak so harshly? At first, you called me a bitch, and now you call me a stupid woman..."
"You were my enemy at first, and now you are my captive. Why should I give you a pleasant look?"
Xing Yaoyan's Soul avatar walked forward as she spoke, full of oppressive pressure.
"I..."
To Yaoyan's surprise, Huan Wuxing actually unconsciously took two steps back, looking very scared.
"And to think you are the First Seat of the Star Cult. You don't look like you have any of the dignity a powerhouse should have. You really disappoint me..." Looking at her appearance, Xing Yaoyan shook her head, and her Soul body slowly disappeared along with it.
"You really disappoint me... disappoint me... disappoint..." These few words seemed to touch a sensitive spot in Huan Wuxing's heart, and her entire expression instantly turned gloomy.
The next moment, a terrifying power erupted from her spiritual body, actually forcibly pushing aside the torrent of Power Of Will around her, forming a vacuum zone in the Soul sea centered on her.
The Star Souls had never seen such a situation before, and one by one, they panicked, hurriedly clustering behind Xing Yaoyan.
Xing Yaoyan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Judging from the information coming from the Soul sea, although Huan Wuxing had suddenly erupted with powerful strength, overall, she could not shake the "prison" that her Soul sea had created for her.
To be honest, she hadn't even fully understood her own Soul sea yet. But she knew that her Soul sea was unusually sturdy; the fact that it could accommodate so many Star Souls at once was evidence enough...
It was as if her Soul sea was a space of its own; all Souls that entered this space would be subjected to powerful suppression, and except for her own permission, there was simply no way to escape from it.
"Huan Wuxing, what on earth are you trying to do? Do you not want your life anymore?" Xing Yaoyan also felt Huan Wuxing's Soul Power gradually weakening; it seemed this was the price for trying to break free from her Soul sea.
"..." Huan Wuxing didn't speak, but soon, the churning power in the Soul sea suddenly disappeared, and she just lowered her head, waiting for the golden Power Of Will to wrap around her again.
"Give up. You won't be able to escape."
"But... I don't want to disappoint you..."
Her words left Xing Yaoyan confused, but every Star Cult Priest's brain was not exactly normal, and there were not a few whose temperaments changed drastically, so she didn't bother with it.
"By the way... can you let me out for a few hours every day? I want to see the outside through your eyes... is that okay..."
Looking at her humble appearance, Xing Yaoyan felt inexplicably soft-hearted.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that the current Huan Wuxing was her true self.
"Come on then, I'll let you out to get some air..."
Outside, Xing Yaoyan walked out of the alley and looked up at the gorgeous city night scene.
And at this moment, Huan Wuxing, whose permissions had been released, was also observing everything in front of her through her eyes.
"To be honest... it's been a long time since I've looked at the world like this..." Huan Wuxing suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Didn't you before..."
"That's different... before, it was always just me alone, but now I have you with me..."
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Do you have ulterior motives for me? I don't have any good feelings for you Star Cult people."
Huan Wuxing was silent for a while after hearing this.
"If I said that in all these years, the number of people I've killed doesn't exceed two digits, and they were all people who deserved to die... would you believe me?"
Xing Yaoyan was stunned. She could feel the seriousness in Huan Wuxing's tone.
"I... hmm? The aura of a Star Beast... no, it's different, it also seems like a fluctuation of spiritual energy..."
A flash of peculiar energy fluctuation instantly attracted Xing Yaoyan's attention.
And at this moment, Huan Wuxing also shouted:
"Wait! It's not a Star Beast... I sensed it; it's a Star Gazer!"
