285: The "Opportunity" of Infant Transformation

When Luo Tianying was swept by that gaze, every hair on her body stood on end, and an extremely ominous premonition instantly seized her!

She struggled to retreat, only to find herself firmly confined in place by an invisible force!

"You... what do you want to do?!"

Luo Tianying's voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling as she shouted, putting on a brave front.

As a dignified half-step Soul Transformation demonic cultivator, she was now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered before this mysterious Artifact Spirit.

"Giggle, giggle..." The Green-Haired Girl emitted a series of crisp laughs that made Luo Tianying's entire body turn cold, a naive yet slightly sinister smile appearing on her small face.

"What do I want to do? Naturally, I am finding you a good destination!"

She walked with her short legs, skipping over to Luo Tianying, and her large, emerald-green eyes sized up Luo Tianying's curvaceous, devilishly charming body, as if admiring a piece of merchandise.

"This kid has passed the Heart-Knocking Path and survived the Heart Demon Tribulation; his Divine Thought is complete, and the Nascent Soul is just around the corner. My master's Legacy finally has a successor."

The girl nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, pointing at the light gate,

"However, his Golden Core is too hard; ordinary methods will likely be difficult to break it. There is no time like the present. Since he is a Disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, he must surely know a thing or two about the method of Yin and Yang complementing each other and borrowing power from a Cauldron..."

Luo Tianying's face instantly turned as pale as paper! She instantly understood the Artifact Spirit's plan!

"You... don't even think about it! This seat is a dignified..."

Luo Tianying was filled with shock and rage, shrieking as the Demon Infant dormant within her body frantically slammed against the confinement, attempting to self-detonate!

"Noisy!" The girl's small face turned cold, and she waved her small hand casually.

Slap!

An invisible palm print struck Luo Tianying's face fiercely, knocking all her words and resistance back!

The terrifying force caused half of her cheek to swell instantly, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her Divine Soul felt dizzy.

"A virgin body, half-step Soul Transformation, pure primal yin and boundless vitality... tsk tsk, it is simply a heaven-sent great medicine for forming a Nascent Soul!"

The girl ignored Luo Tianying's extremely resentful gaze and grabbed at her through the air with her small hand!

"No——!!!"

Luo Tianying let out a desperate scream, but her body was uncontrollably lifted by an irresistible force, thrown like a rag doll into the ancient wooden house, and slammed heavily onto the only stone bed in the room!

Immediately after, several green rune chains appeared out of thin air, instantly wrapping around Luo Tianying's limbs and neck, firmly confining her in a spread-eagled position on the cold stone bed, unable to mobilize even a shred of demonic thought!

She could only twist her body in vain, her eyes filled with extreme humiliation, fear, and resentment!

The girl clapped her small hands, looking at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction.

She walked to the door of the wooden house and slashed at the void with her small hand; a banner condensed from green light instantly appeared above the doorway, the handwriting bold and unrestrained, crystal clear:

"Kid Yao, this is the Nascent Soul Opportunity I have gifted you; seize it well! If you cannot achieve a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul, you are not worthy of inheriting my master's Legacy!"

After finishing all this, the girl made a face at Yao Delong, who was still adjusting his breathing and stabilizing his Divine Thought inside the light gate, then her figure flickered and vanished, leaving only Luo Tianying's desperate whimpering inside the wooden house and the dead silence of the space outside the light gate.

On the outskirts of the Death Basin, at the edge of the gray fog. Nearly ten days had passed.

Lin Qingxue's originally beautiful face was now filled with haggardness, her ice-blue eyes had lost their usual luster, leaving only deep worry and fatigue, yet she still stubbornly gazed into the depths of the dead, gray fog.

"Senior Sister Han, Senior Sister Liu... is there still no news of Senior Brother?"

Her voice carried a trace of imperceptible choking. Han Yun and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, both seeing the heaviness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

They had taken Little White Flood Dragon Qiong Shuang, Xiao Huohuo, Lin Shishi, and others to scour almost the entire periphery of the Death Basin, even venturing deep into the edge of the gray fog to investigate, but apart from encountering a few waves of weak Yao Beasts, they had found nothing.

Contacting the other groups of Elders and Disciples searching, the news received was equally disappointing—no one had seen Yao Delong, and no one had encountered Luo Tianying.

"Junior Sister Qingxue," Han Yun walked to Lin Qingxue's side, gently patted her shoulder, her voice filled with reassurance,

"Junior Brother Yao... has many trump cards and is meticulous in his thinking. Although Luo Tianying is strong, this place is strange, and she may not necessarily be able to do anything to him. He must be... trapped in some special place and unable to get out for the time being."

Liu Ruyan also stepped forward to console her, a flash of sharpness in her beautiful eyes:

"Junior Sister, rather than waiting here in vain, it is better to continue searching for Secret Realm opportunities and improve our strength! At the same time, we must never let off those two culprits, Xiao Chen and Meng Bi! If it weren't for them intentionally causing trouble, Junior Brother Yao might not have fallen into such a dangerous situation! Find them and seek justice for Junior Brother Yao!"

"Xiao Chen... Meng Bi..." Lin Qingxue muttered these two names, and in her previously dim eyes, two clusters of cold flames suddenly ignited!

An icy killing intent uncontrollably radiated from her body, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees.

"Yes! It is them!" Lin Qingxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with bone-deep hatred,

"Senior Brother never provoked them, yet they targeted Senior Brother time and time again; this time, they have even caused Senior Brother's life or death to be unknown! If I do not avenge this, I, Lin Qingxue, swear I will not be human!"

"Senior Sister Han, Senior Sister Liu, I must trouble you to help me find these two beasts!"

A flash of cold light also crossed Han Yun's eyes as she said in a deep voice:

"Junior Sister, you speak too heavily! I am also to blame for this encounter! Once we find Xiao Chen and Meng Bi, I will personally execute them to comfort Junior Brother Yao!"

"Count me in!" Liu Ruyan said decisively, "I was ordered by the master to protect Junior Brother, but I failed in my duty. Executing these two villains is my bounden duty!"

"Awoo! And me! I want to help Boss get revenge! Bite them to death!" Little White Flood Dragon Qiong Shuang waved her small claws excitedly, her ice-blue vertical pupils filled with fierce light.

"And us!" Xiao Huohuo and Lin Shishi also stood out, their faces filled with determination, "Senior Brother Yao has saved us from danger many times; this grace must be repaid! Find Xiao Chen and Meng Bi, and we must make them pay blood for blood!"

"Good!" Han Yun looked at everyone united in hatred, a surge of heroism rising in her heart, "Then we will search for Secret Realm treasures to improve our strength while fully investigating the whereabouts of Xiao Chen and Meng Bi! Once found, kill them without mercy!"

Everyone reached a consensus; the suppressed worry and sadness were now entirely transformed into the flames of revenge and the motivation to become stronger.

They did not linger, their figures turning into several streams of light, carrying icy killing intent, and plunged once again into the vast area of the Death Basin's outskirts, like a net of revenge that was gradually tightening.

Meanwhile, at the end of the Heart-Knocking Path, Yao Delong, who had just stabilized his Divine Thought and was wondering why the Artifact Spirit Senior was nowhere to be seen, finally had his gaze drawn to the green, glowing banner above the doorway of the wooden house.

"Nascent Soul Opportunity?" He walked closer to the wooden house in confusion and pushed open the ajar wooden door.

The scene that greeted his eyes caused him to instantly petrify, his pupils shaking!
