93: Eight hundred years old sister
Xu Sanyan was slightly curious and turned his head slightly, "What is it?"
““Soul Return Borrowing Life” Technique’s method of application and a detailed explanation of the Formation,” Liu Wanjun said slowly.
She had already worn out that book, and every word in it was deeply ingrained in her mind. After all, for hundreds of years, this was the only book she had to study; it was impossible not to be familiar with it.
"Oh?" Xu Sanyan's eyes lit up with interest.
To be honest, he was indeed very interested in this technique. This was a technique that could allow a mortal to live for over eight hundred years, and its significance was immense.
Any technique involving longevity, without even thinking, would undoubtedly be of great value. Even if he didn't need it himself, he could use it to exchange for other things in the future.
He believed many people would be interested in this thing.
Xu Sanyan readily agreed, "Alright, give me the item, and I will no longer bother you."
In his heart, he thought that once he got the technique, he could just go back on his word.
He wanted the technique, and he wanted the item too!
Anyway, his character was obvious to all; he was already adept at going back on his word and felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.
Liu Wanjun's eyes shifted, and she said, "The item isn't on me. Let me retrieve it."
"I'll go with you," Xu Sanyan said.
Liu Wanjun nodded gently, and the two walked towards the tomb from a distance, secretly wary of each other.
Xu Sanyan looked at Liu Wanjun's swelling chest, feeling very curious. He wondered what that heart was; after nearly a thousand years, it was still so vibrant.
Liu Wanjun noticed Xu Sanyan's gaze, and her expression became slightly awkward. Why was he staring at her chest?
Although she was over eight hundred years old, she had spent most of her time alone in the coffin. Her understanding of matters between men and women still remained at the age of twenty, and she was somewhat reserved deep down.
Liu Wanjun guessed wildly in her mind, 'Could he be a lecher?'
She was quite confident in her appearance. Although she couldn't be described as stunningly beautiful, she was graceful and dignified, one in a million.
The two had their own thoughts, but their guard never relaxed for a moment, both knowing that the other was not to be trifled with.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, Xu Sanyan frowned slightly. He didn't really want to go inside.
What if there was a large Formation inside? Wouldn't he be walking into a trap?
He held deep reverence for Formations. Today, he had a preliminary understanding of their power.
But what if Liu Wanjun went in and didn't come out? Not only would he not get the "Soul Return Through Borrowed Life" technique, but he would also let her escape.
So Xu Sanyan said, "You let the zombie go in and retrieve the technique. You and I will wait here."
Liu Wanjun's thoughts turned, and she nodded slowly, "Good."
A completely black zombie hopped into the cave. Liu Wanjun seemed to relax a lot in her heart and chuckled, "I still don't know Young Master's name?"
Xu Sanyan smirked, "What? Planning to seek revenge when you get the chance?"
"Not at all."
Liu Wanjun slowly shook her head, "If it weren't for Young Master, I still wouldn't have found that secret passage. I should be thanking Young Master."
Thank me?
Xu Sanyan sneered inwardly, "Since you're thanking me, then tell me what that thing in your arms is for."
Liu Wanjun hesitated slightly, then shook her head, "Young Master will know once he gets the secret manual of the 'Soul Return Borrowing Life' Technique. The book states that the National Master relied on this item to set up the grand Formation back then. It's just that my knowledge is shallow, and I don't know what this item specifically is."
Xu Sanyan's eyes flickered; it must be a treasure without a doubt!
Suddenly, Liu Wanjun moved her feet and quickly rushed towards the tomb entrance. At the same time, the ground shook slightly, and a transparent light curtain abruptly rose, enveloping dozens of meters around the entrance.
Xu Sanyan's expression tightened. There was indeed a Formation inside the tomb!
The National Master back then was a master of Formations, so he would certainly have set up layers of protective Formations. There was nothing to question about that.
Xu Sanyan opened his palm, and a dark dagger suddenly appeared in his palm. With a flick of his wrist, a faint glow shot directly towards Liu Wanjun's back.
"Hmph!"
Liu Wanjun let out a soft cry, her body turning pale. She tried her old trick of enduring the blow head-on.
"Splat!"
Xu Sanyan's strength was far beyond what a Blood Demon could compare to. She could withstand a Blood Demon, but she might not be able to withstand Xu Sanyan!
Moreover, that dagger was also a treasure, exceptionally sharp, and carrying Xu Sanyan's immense strength of ten thousand jin, it effortlessly pierced into Liu Wanjun's back. Her defensive technique that could harden her body had no effect whatsoever.
Xu Sanyan curled his lips into a smile. Playing this game with him?
He had been on guard all along.
"Pfft..."
Blood spilled from Liu Wanjun's mouth. The immense force from the dagger threw her high into the air, then she fell heavily to the ground, exactly three steps away from the light barrier.
"Cough..." Liu Wanjun's body twitched slightly, lying on the ground like a maggot.
Xu Sanyan shook his head and walked towards her unhurriedly. With her heart injured, there was no way she could live. What a pity...
An old sister from eight hundred years ago...
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Liu Wanjun leaped up, using her feet slightly, and darted into the light barrier.
"You're not dead?"
Xu Sanyan's expression was stunned. Not dead even after being stabbed in the heart? Is her life that tough?
Liu Wanjun stood within the light curtain, triumphantly pulling out the dagger with a backhand. The dark dagger was slowly pulled out of her body, still covered in fresh blood, a sight that made one wince, yet she seemed to feel nothing at all.
Liu Wanjun held the dagger in her hand, playing with it, her eyes fixed on Xu Sanyan.
Xu Sanyan suddenly remembered that when they first met, he had noticed that this woman had no breath and he had not heard a heartbeat.
It was just that she later acted so much like a normal person that Xu Sanyan subconsciously overlooked this point.
No wonder she didn't die even after being stabbed in the heart; it turned out she was already different from a normal person and had no vital points.
Xu Sanyan chuckled. She was now more like a hybrid of a zombie and a human.
The Major Thousand Worlds truly had all sorts of wonders!
He had certainly broadened his horizons today.
"Heh heh... I was careless." Xu Sanyan felt no remorse. He was also human; how could he predict everything?
Now that she had entered the Formation, he was completely helpless. Given the scale of this grand Formation, he probably couldn't break it.
Liu Wanjun did not mock him. Instead, she reached into her bosom and pulled out a book, casually tossing it to Xu Sanyan, "The item I promised you."
Xu Sanyan raised an eyebrow, "You're still willing to give it to me?"
"Of course, we have no deep-seated grudge. I'm willing to resolve this misunderstanding. What do you think?" Liu Wanjun said.
Xu Sanyan nodded silently, "Good."
Now, even if he wanted to coerce her, he couldn't.
Seeing him nod, Liu Wanjun casually tossed the dagger back to him, "You can take this too."
Xu Sanyan clicked his tongue, "Tsk..."
After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Fiend, unfastened the cyan sword from its back, and casually tossed it. The cyan sword plunged straight into the ground outside the light curtain,
"Farewell..."
With that, Xu Sanyan picked up the dagger and turned to leave.
