161: Strategist Flame Princess

Du Xian sat cross-legged in his room, Cultivating. His injuries were healing little by little, indicating that the Medicinal Pill's effects were very good.

While he was healing himself, Li Haotian and Lin Tianxuan quietly observed him.

"This kid's voice hasn't changed, his appearance hasn't changed, his aura hasn't changed, and his Realm has only slightly improved. But why do I always feel like there's been some strange change in him?"

Li Haotian, stealthily hiding in a corner, stroked his chin in thought, seemingly not quite understanding what was going on. He could sense that the other party had undergone some change, but couldn't pinpoint it.

"Young Master's perception is correct. I also have the same feeling. He seems to have been possessed or taken over by something."

Lin Tianxuan also had this feeling, but he was more experienced, so he immediately identified the root of the problem. Li Haotian's mouth dropped open in surprise upon hearing this.

"Oh my goodness, I sent this kid out to train, and he actually got Possessed? What is the Cultivation of the person who Possessed him? Can we still save him?"

Li Haotian was a bit anxious and also regretful. This guy's strength wasn't as great as his two Disciples, so going out alone would definitely lead to extremely serious danger.

He was Possessed in less than a month. There were still 11 months left; how was he going to manage?

Li Haotian felt bad for Du Xian, but he also felt more for his System mission. The mission hadn't prompted him to fail, which meant this guy should still be salvageable.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should still be a chance to save him. I once knew of an alien race that could Possess others' Physical Bodies. Within half a year of their Possession, as long as no one interferes, the other party's Soul will be completely devoured by the Possessing alien."

Lin Tianxuan stroked his chin, pondering for a long time before giving this answer.

"These alien races are called the Heart-Invading Clan. No matter what Cultivation Realm a Powerhouse is in, they can Possess them. If they succeed in Possession and no one interferes for half a year, the host will gradually fade away. Once all consciousness dissipates, the Physical Body will be completely occupied."

"There is also a specific method to interrupt their invasion. Perhaps even Du Xian doesn't realize he's been Possessed yet. His consciousness is indeed still his, so his actions and logic are exactly the same as before."

"The only way to resolve this is to use the method of Possession against him at this very moment, to drive out the alien race that has invaded his body. However, the risk would be extremely high. One careless mistake, and the Possession could succeed, at which point he would truly die, and the person who attempted to Possess him would also lose their original Physical Body."

Lin Tianxuan had indeed encountered such an alien race before. At that time, someone had found a solution, but the survival rate for both parties was less than 1%.

If you try to Possess someone weaker than you, it's not Possession; it's suicide. If you try to Possess someone stronger than you, one careless mistake could lead to successful Possession. At that point, not only would you have to abandon your original body and original Cultivation, but you would also have to experience the pain of personally killing your friend.

Therefore, this race has always been infamous. Originally, they also wanted to invade the Heavenly Domain, but later something seemed to happen that made them abandon that idea.

Judging by Du Xian's current state, it's highly likely he's been invaded by this race.

Li Haotian frowned and took out a Medicinal Pill.

"Does this healing Medicinal Pill have any effect on that race?"

Lin Tianxuan looked at the Medicinal Pill, picked it up, examined it, and then shook his head.

"Although this Medicinal Pill can heal injuries and is of high grade, it has absolutely no effect on this race. Their issue isn't external injury, but a gradual erosion of the Soul."

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian immediately showed a bitter smile. If this Medicinal Pill was useless, then he had no other options.

"Do you think you have a chance if you were to do such a thing?"

Lin Tianxuan shook his head.

"I certainly have no confidence in such a thing, but I once had a friend who was also a Great Emperor Powerhouse, and the Cultivation Technique he Cultivated was related to the Soul. If he had any successors, perhaps there would be a way."

Hearing this, Li Haotian looked at Lin Tianxuan in confusion. So much time had passed; if his friend had indeed left any successors in this world, they should logically have become famous.

After all, to possess such means, be a friend of Lin Tianxuan, and also be a Great Emperor Powerhouse, their own strength wouldn't be poor, and the forces they created should also be renowned throughout the world, like the Heavenly Profound Sect, becoming one of the Ten Great Sects.

But the problem was that among the current Ten Great Sects, there wasn't a Sect that Cultivated the Soul.

Even this path of Cultivation was something Li Haotian had heard of for the first time.

"I have no clues about this. I've never heard of such a force. For now, you should go to the Heavenly Domain and search to see if there's anyone like you described. If there is, bring them back. If not, we'll think of other methods."

Lin Tianxuan nodded and left to carry out the order.

It was very difficult for them to return to the Heavenly Domain from here. It required the approval of the General of their affiliated city wall. Lin Tianxuan came with Li Haotian, so if he wanted to leave, he needed Li Haotian's personal letter.

Soon, after some confirmation, he had departed.

Li Haotian sat in his room, somewhat helplessly, searching for a solution. While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Crimson, wearing a fiery red nightgown, walked in.

The nightgown was extremely provocative, with her long, white legs subtly revealed through the slit.

"Cough, cough, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Li Haotian coughed lightly twice, closing his eyes and avoiding looking at Crimson, as if he were resting with his eyes closed.

Crimson immediately looked displeased, placing the pastries in her hand on the table.

"I've been learning to make pastries recently, and I just finished some. I originally wanted to bring them for you to taste. What do you mean by closing your eyes and not looking at me? Are you afraid of falling in love with me?"

Crimson's voice trembled slightly as she secretly glanced at the small note hidden in her hand.

Flame Princess stood at the doorway, a secret smile on her face. She had taken on the role of Strategist for Crimson. As an outsider, Flame Princess naturally knew what Crimson lacked.

Gentleness!

With a very gentle beauty, plus a little teasing, no man could resist. If she paid more attention in other aspects, everything would gradually fall into place.

Flame Princess showed a brilliant smile, then continued to peek through the doorframe.
