154: Obsessive Luo Xue
"That's a good boy. Now, open your Sea of Consciousness."
"Done."
Thus, Xiao Chen instantly invaded his Sea of Consciousness and swiftly placed a Slave Seal. A strange connection washed over him once more.
All of Holy Envoy Mu Feng's thoughts were laid bare before Xiao Chen.
"Quickly, give me the antidote." Holy Envoy Mu Feng looked at Xiao Chen imploringly. His pitiful, wretched appearance was both pathetic and detestable.
"What antidote?"
"The Neurotoxin in my body."
"It's just a bit of anesthetic. You'll be fine on your own in a while!"
"Damn it!"
Holy Envoy Mu Feng was instantly consumed by rage. He pointed at Xiao Chen and cursed, "You piece of trash! I'm definitely going to report you to the Grand Elder!"
"Is that so?"
Having said that, Xiao Chen's expression turned icy cold, and he triggered a thought.
"Ah..."
Holy Envoy Mu Feng immediately clutched his head and rolled on the ground in agony. His screams and pleas for mercy echoed throughout the Cultivation Room.
Luo Xue glanced over, secretly frowning. She thought to herself that this Black Dragon Holy Envoy's methods were many times more ruthless.
"Is it fun?"
Xiao Chen looked at him with interest and continued, "This is just a small punishment. If you dare to speak such filth again, it won't be so easy for you!"
Holy Envoy Mu Feng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then hurriedly shook his head.
"From today on, remember your place. You must call me Master when you see me. I can see all your thoughts. If you dare to be ungrateful, I will destroy your Divine Soul instantly."
"Yes, yes, yes. This lowly slave wouldn't dare."
"You insulted me in the hall earlier. Slap yourself ten times!"
"Yes, Master!" Holy Envoy Mu Feng raised his hand and began slapping himself across the face, showing no mercy to himself.
Xiao Chen glanced at his swollen cheeks, nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "How do I remove the Restrictions on her?"
Holy Envoy Mu Feng replied bitterly and reluctantly, "This lowly slave can only remove the first four, allowing her to regain mobility. As for the other five, only the Grand Elder can undo them."
"Then undo the first four first."
"But... I'm completely weak right now..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen activated the paralysis ring and absorbed the Neurotoxin from his body.
Holy Envoy Mu Feng was overjoyed and no longer hesitated, swiftly undoing the first four Restrictions on Luo Xue.
"Get out!"
"Yes, Master." Holy Envoy Mu Feng replied submissively. He gave Luo Xue a lingering, reluctant look before flying out of the Immortal Cave.
His face was filled with gloom, and his heart ached. The top-tier Soul he had worked so hard to obtain had ended up benefiting someone else.
Most importantly, he had been branded with a Slave Seal by his arch-nemesis, ensuring he would never be able to turn things around in this lifetime.
"What do you want?" Luo Xue asked, standing up slowly with a look of vigilance.
Even though she had regained her mobility, she didn't relax at all. She had witnessed the Black Dragon Holy Envoy's ruthless methods from start to finish.
Looking at her slightly haggard face, a complicated feeling welled up in Xiao Chen's heart. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.
"System, is there any way to heal her Soul trauma?"
[Ding! Is the Host being forgetful?]
"What do you mean?"
[Ding! When the Host performed Dual Cultivation with the female lead Bai Su, didn't you use the dual union of the Physical Body and Soul to help her break free from her Soul imprisonment?]
Xiao Chen's eyes widened. "I see. But can this also help her heal Soul trauma?"
[Ding! Of course! The Pure Yang Sacred Body is an unparalleled Dual Cultivation Cauldron. While Dual Cultivating, it can increase cultivation level and enhance Soul power through Soul fusion.]
"Holy shit! That's amazing!"
To think there was such a Heaven-Defying ability. He hadn't used it during his previous Dual Cultivations; what a waste!
Then, Xiao Chen smiled slightly. Under Luo Xue's astonished gaze, he discarded his Demon Sects Saint disguise and returned to his original appearance.
"You! Xiao Chen!"
Luo Xue gasped. None of the twists in her life compared to this one. She never would have dreamed that this ruthless Demon Sect Holy Envoy was actually him!
"Old Ancestor, are you surprised?"
Xiao Chen stepped forward slowly and winked at her.
"What are you doing infiltrating the Demon Sect?"
"For you, of course."
Luo Xue turned her body away, frowning slightly as she snapped, "What nonsense are you talking?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. My primary goal in infiltrating the Demon Sect was to save you, Old Ancestor."
"The grievances between you and my Holy Sun Sect have been settled. There's no need to risk your life for an old woman like me who's on the verge of death."
"Since you showed me mercy during that Soul battle, Old Ancestor, I naturally won't just watch you perish."
Hearing this, a strange light flickered in Luo Xue's beautiful eyes. When she had secretly withdrawn thirty percent of her Soul power back then, wasn't she also saving her own life?
"Even if you save me now, in my current state, I'm just lingering on the brink of death. I'd rather perish with dignity than live a wretched life."
"The Soul Refining Sect won't give you any dignity!"
Xiao Chen stared at her and said solemnly, "You should know what happens to those who fall into the hands of the Soul Refining Sect. Having your Soul refined into a Yin Spirit is one thing, but even someone with your peerless beauty will be refined into a Corpse Puppet to be ravaged and trampled upon. Old Ancestor, do you realize that?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue's expression became extremely unsightly. As a titan of the Immortal Path, she had valued her reputation above all else throughout her life.
If she were to be desecrated like that by the Soul Refining Sect, she couldn't even imagine it; she wouldn't be able to rest in peace even in death. However, her pride prevented her from asking Xiao Chen for help.
Xiao Chen could naturally see what she was thinking, so he spoke first:
"Old Ancestor, I have a way that can not only help you escape but also restore your Soul trauma to how it was before and even take your cultivation to the next level. Would you like to hear about it?"
Hearing this, Luo Xue turned her head, and a glimmer of hope clearly flickered in her gaze as she looked at Xiao Chen. Hope after despair is often the most enchanting.
Moreover, Xiao Chen's words described the most perfect outcome in the world for her, yet she also felt a deep sense of doubt:
"What way?"
"The Union of Yin and Yang."
Xiao Chen spoke calmly. Those four short words were like a thunderclap, striking heavily against Luo Xue's Soul.
Her expression quickly turned cold. Looking at Xiao Chen with shock and indignation, she rebuked him, "I was once your Grandmaster. Do you have to humiliate me like this?"
After speaking, she slowly closed her eyes. Her beautiful face was filled with a pained expression, and two crystal-like tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.
"Grandmaster, I'm not humiliating you. It's just that this really is the only way..."
"Say no more!"
Luo Xue waved her hand, forcefully interrupting him. "If it is my destiny to meet my end here, I will accept it calmly."
