197: The Shi Yuan Duo (China)

"Little Zhao!"

Seeing him die tragically on the spot, the Base Director's pupils constricted. The opponent was clearly also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet she made him feel utterly powerless.

"You guys..."

Before he could finish, Shi Suiyan had already flashed before him, pinching his mouth with one hand. Several slashes erupted from within his body, tearing him apart until he was a bloody mess, like a boiled chicken.

Yuan Chenling's face turned pale.

It wasn't that he hadn't killed before, but he rarely used such cruel methods.

A young girl acting so ruthlessly, was she really from a righteous sect?

However, Shi Suiyan's next action further confirmed his suspicion.

This woman was not a good person!

Seeing the energy ball she condensed in her hand, Yuan Chenling couldn't help but speak.

"What are you doing? Killing is one thing, but why search his soul?"

"Aren't you afraid of Divine Sense backlash?"

Shi Suiyan merely gave him a cold glance, then casually tossed the energy ball in front of him.

"A little suffering to the Divine Sense in exchange for higher efficiency is naturally worth it."

"We don't have much time. After you've seen it, immediately go retrieve the Dragon's body."

Yuan Chenling's heart pounded with alarm, and his limbs trembled.

He could feel that Shi Suiyan was very abnormal at this moment.

Normally, she was indifferent to everyone except their boss, but she wasn't like this, simply disregarding life.

Since they had agreed beforehand to follow her lead, he could only honestly accept this memory.

The memory had clearly been optimized, only retaining information such as the base area's structure and personnel configuration, which showed her profound attainment in Soul Dao.

After reading the information, Yuan Chenling's expression turned solemn.

He understood why Shi Suiyan had killed so cruelly. It was because the person's body was riddled with technological creations, which could both assist in information transmission and quickly raise an alarm if danger was encountered.

And he had just been about to use the time he was speaking to trigger the alarm, but Shi Suiyan's previous few strikes had paralyzed all of the opponent's devices, nipping the danger in the bud.

Now, with the threat gone and a map obtained, it was much more convenient to continue infiltrating, so what she did was indeed efficient.

"If we kill them, we'll be exposed sooner or later. We need to get close to the Dragon's body location as quickly as possible and find a way to evacuate."

"The information also mentioned a Nascent Soul Cultivator guarding it, so we must be even more careful."

"Shut up!"

"I said, listen to me entirely!"

Noticing her abnormal Aura, Yuan Chenling flinched, but in the next instant, she was already pressing close to him.

When did she get here? She had just reached Foundation Establishment, how could her speed be so fast?

He could still see her attacks just now, but Yuan Chenling couldn't catch her instantaneous movement at all.

Immediately after, Shi Suiyan placed a hand on his head.

"Myriad Orders Reflect My Form."

As she chanted softly, Yuan Chenling felt a surge of immense power from within his body, and countless unfamiliar memories emerged in his mind.

Not long after, he was astonished to find that his body had undergone a transformation, turning into a Core Formation Stage White Tiger.

"According to the information we just obtained, use your Divine Ability to take that Dragon's body."

"Kill all who obstruct you. As you are now, killing is faster than bypassing."

"Leave immediately after you succeed; don't do anything unnecessary."

"Then wait for me in the outer city."

After speaking, Shi Suiyan seemed to remember something and added.

"If you feel lost, silently recite your name, and then think of Senior Brother Zhou."

Yuan Chenling didn't dare to delay and immediately set off.

After rushing out of the room, many people fled upon seeing him. After all, no one wasn't afraid of a several-meter-tall Yao Beast running loose in the base.

Only after getting away from that room did Yuan Chenling's heart rate somewhat calm down.

It was truly terrifying just now.

He had suddenly gained such immense power, but he also felt even more clearly how terrifying Shi Suiyan was at that moment.

The power within her was rapidly climbing, having already broken through to the Nascent Soul level, and she was emitting an Aura that filled him with fear.

Not long after he ran, the first obstruction appeared. It was a Core Formation Cultivator with an extraordinary Aura.

He instinctively wanted to bypass him, but remembering Shi Suiyan's instructions, he had no choice but to confront him.

He originally thought it would be a tough battle, but just as they were about to clash, a series of memories flooded his mind.

He seemed to see himself as the Young Lord of the White Tiger clan since childhood, with his father placing high hopes on him, passing down the Family's Cultivation Technique, and personally teaching him the Dao of cultivation.

Then he instinctively swiped a claw.

An attack containing infinite Evil Qi instantly tore the opponent to shreds.

It was then that he awoke from his memories.

Not daring to think further, he continued to rush towards his destination.

At this moment, he finally understood that the "efficiency" Shi Suiyan spoke of did not refer to stealth, and her not wanting personnel assistance was also because she simply didn't need it.

Yuan Chenling's mind was in turmoil, filled with fear of Shi Suiyan and the interference of unfamiliar memories.

This made him extremely irritable, so irritable that he tore apart all obstructing enemies.

At this moment, the Base Director received an alarm and was rushing over at top speed.

Ever since the neighboring stronghold was wiped out, he had already heightened vigilance. Even if a Soul Transformation expert attacked, he was confident he could evacuate more than half of the base.

But he never expected that a Core Formation great Yao would infiltrate the base and directly rush towards the Dragon's body, slaughtering everyone in its path.

The Dragon's body had only recently been delivered and had not yet been adequately protected. If it were stolen, the loss would be even more severe than losing half the base.

"Damn it!"

He cursed under his breath, accelerating his pace.

But the next moment, he abruptly stopped and retreated rapidly. A ferocious slash cut past him, leaving a deep mark on the sturdy base wall.

He looked towards the source of the attack; it was a weathered woman in her thirties.

Someone from Wrath Prison?

No, she also had the Aura of Guixu.

"Which Fellow Daoist from the Eastern Domain is here? What is the meaning of this action?"

He vaguely sensed that the other party should be from a Demonic Sect, so he didn't immediately attack.

But the newcomer was not from any of the Six Demonic Sects; it was Shi Suiyan, who had been waiting for a long time.

"At this point in time, I should have been one of you. But to my current self, I am not, and in the future, I will be even less likely to be."

What gibberish was she spouting?

This vague tone, however, resembled the style of the Joyous Union Sect.

"No matter who you are, move aside now, or you will be an enemy of my Truth Cult!"

His halberd pointed at Shi Suiyan, but in his heart, he was calculating how to quickly get rid of her.

Core Formation Cultivators were falling one after another; he didn't have time for small talk and had to deal with that Yao Beast as soon as possible.

"An enemy of you?"

"Weren't we already enemies when you were researching 'Years'?"

Hearing Shi Suiyan's words, the Base Director first fell into reminiscence, then his expression became extremely serious, and he immediately entered combat mode.

He no longer cared about the Yao Beast or the Dragon's body, because he knew what kind of monster the person in front of him was.

"I didn't expect you damned things to still be alive today!"

Shi Suiyan didn't wait for him to finish, preemptively unleashing her Nascent Soul Domain. An invisible force, a blend of killing intent and coldness, spread out from her center.

The Base Director didn't show weakness, also unfolding his Domain to clash with hers, then he crouched and charged forward, his halberd striking down fiercely.

"A Prodigy like you shouldn't exist in this world. For the sake of this world, die!"

Shi Suiyan crossed her arms, taking the blow head-on.

"How sanctimonious!"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"I am Yuan Chenling, I am Yuan Chenling, my boss is Zhou Yan..."

Whenever his head throbbed with pain, Yuan Chenling would silently repeat these words in his mind.

At this moment, he had already used his Divine Ability to take the Dragon's body into his mouth.

He had discovered upon arrival that the Dragon's body had been placed under numerous Restrictions, making it impossible to move or put into a Storage Pouch directly. Only his Divine Ability could accommodate it.

And his current cultivation was just enough to withstand the consumption of containing a Nascent Soul body.

He had no time to ponder how Shi Suiyan could foresee future developments; he only wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

More and more memories flooded his mind, and a special power was also trying to invade him.

He felt that if this continued, he would become another "himself," one who was clearly him, but possessed a completely different life.

After killing several Core Formation Cultivators along the way, no one dared to stop Yuan Chenling anymore.

He quickly rushed out of the base and sped towards the agreed location.

Noticing that no one was pursuing him, he had just let out a sigh of relief when another flood of memories struck, causing his head to throb and making him fall from the air.

He could no longer maintain his Divine Ability, and the Dragon's corpse was spat out.

In his dying moments, he could only repeatedly murmur in his heart.

"I am Yuan Chenling, I am Yuan Chenling, my boss is Zhou... Zhou what was his name again?"

"Do I even have a boss?"
