Chapter 1417 The Woman's Decision
Although Huan Yin and the mysterious masked woman in black were enemies, they had one thing in common for the entire prison—they were all foreign invaders.
Therefore, even if they were given a hundred guts, no matter what changes they encountered, they would never dare to make too much noise. If they were discovered by the defenders here, they would not only not get the soul-calling altar at all, but they might even be buried here directly.
In this way, although Huan Yin and the woman were tit-for-tat in the underground stone chamber, and could even be said to be fighting for their lives, the two of them maintained a low-key tacit understanding. No matter how they fought, no matter how intense the fight was, no matter how much threat they thought they had suffered, they never used magic weapons or performed any terrifying Taoist magic.
In each move, the palm was sharp, the fists and feet were strong, but they would never bring out any light or shadow, nor would they make a big noise. The two of them fought like mortals fighting each other. Although their internal strength was full and could not be compared with that of mortals, the eternal lights around them were rarely blown during the fight.
For two highly skilled source power cultivators, such a fight was not the only one in history. And when they were fighting, they did not notice that they had a tacit understanding.
Because of this fighting style, the combat power of the two was surprisingly close, and it was difficult to tell who was better. In this way, since they started fighting, they had exchanged hundreds of moves in this stone chamber without realizing it, and nearly half an hour had passed.
Of course, such a fight was not a game for the two of them. They were obviously very concerned about the Soul Guiding Altar, so their punches and kicks seemed ordinary, but they were full of internal strength. If one of them took a punch, he would probably vomit blood and get injured.
For example, once, Huan Yin couldn't help but want to know who was the woman who was so interested in his Heavenly Soul. So when he punched her, he suddenly changed his fist into a claw, trying to grab the woman's mask. The woman was shocked and dodged quickly, but Huan Yin grabbed her shoulder, leaving three bloody marks there.
However, the woman was not someone who was willing to suffer a loss, and her methods were even more impressive. When Huan Yin wanted to grab her mask off, she unexpectedly had the same idea tacitly, and her body movements were more clever than Huan Yin. So, while being scratched by Huan Yin, she suddenly grabbed back at Huan Yin, catching Huan Yin off guard and almost having her mask fall off. Fortunately, Huan Yin protected it in time, but a bloody mark was left on his left face, which was very obvious.
However, even if both of them used all their strength, it seemed that even if they fought like this for another hundred years, it would be difficult to tell the winner.
At a certain moment, the two may have fought for two or three hours. The woman and Huan Yin faced each other with a palm, and the two retreated at the same time, pulling away from each other. Huan Yin naturally had no intention of stopping. He would not give up on the person who robbed his Heavenly Soul, and he had no reason to stop on the Heavenly Soul itself. Without a better solution, he could only fight to the death!
However, after retreating, the woman suddenly said: "Wait!"
Huan Yin's figure stagnated, but his eyes were cold. He did not speak, waiting for the woman's next words. Seeing Huan Yin stop, the woman said: "We can't finish fighting like this for a hundred years. If we alarm the guards here, none of us will survive."
Huan Yin said coldly: "So what, I am determined to get that thing!"
The woman saw Huan Yin's firm attitude. Although she had expected it, she was still slightly surprised and said: "Do you know what is in this jar? If you don't know, you just think it is an extraordinary treasure, then I advise you not to waste your time. It is useless for you to get it!"
This sentence immediately made Huan Yin's heart move. From what the woman said, she seemed to know that the soul-guiding jar contained her own Heavenly Soul? If she knew it, why did she risk her life to get it? The woman said Huan Yin was useless because she didn't know Huan Yin's identity, but what use could she have of taking Huan Yin's Heavenly Soul?
Huan Yin said: "From what you said, you know very well what's in it."
The woman said: "If I don't know, what's the point of it!"
Huan Yin saw the woman's posture, and a flame immediately jumped to the top of his head. Since this woman knew that the soul-calling altar contained his Heavenly Soul, could it be that she wanted to use his Heavenly Soul to refine treasures?
Apart from this, he couldn't think of the second purpose of this woman to obtain his Heavenly Soul.
This woman is so vicious!
Huan Yin rushed up again fiercely, and instantly fought with the woman again. After fighting for a while, the woman felt inexplicable. She didn't understand why Huan Yin was suddenly angry, and she didn't understand why Huan Yin cared so much about the Soul-calling Altar in her hand, as if she was crazy.
After fighting for a long time, the woman seized the opportunity to pull away from Huan Yin again. At this point, she couldn't figure out what the point of continuing such an evenly matched battle was, and she was even more puzzled by Huan Yin's madness. She felt that it was more necessary to figure out the situation now.
"Wait a minute!" the woman shouted, asking Huan Yin to stop again.
"No point in talking anymore. Unless you hand over the Soul Guiding Altar, I won't stop!" Huan Yin's voice was full of determination and the madness that had been maintained before.
The woman looked surprised and said, "Do you know it's called the Soul Guiding Altar?"
Huan Yin knew that he had accidentally let it slip, so he fell silent, but his eyes never left the Soul Guiding Altar. The woman hesitated for a while and said, "This thing is really important to me. Why do you want to steal it?"
Huan Yin laughed in anger and said, "Rob? It was originally mine!"
The woman's brows frowned instantly, and her eyes stared at Huan Yin tightly, as if she wanted to see through Huan Yin's mask. After a while, her voice became a little uneasy for some reason: "You mean, you got the jade ruyi, and you opened the sealed door, so this soul-calling altar belongs to you?"
Huan Yin sneered: "Isn't it?"
The woman's voice suddenly became a little cold, and said: "That's all?"
Huan Yin said: "What a joke, who would risk their lives to come to the Tianlao to search for treasure? Do you really think there is good fortune here?"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes suddenly became soft again, and said: "You came here specifically for this thing, and you also know what is inside."
Huan Yin didn't know what the woman wanted to say, and didn't want to entangle with her anymore. For now, they still had to decide the winner, so they said, "Are you done? If you are done, let's continue!"
The woman took a step back and said, "If you swear an oath that this thing originally belongs to you, I can give it to you!"
Huan Yin's eyes fixed and he said, "Really?"
The woman said, "If this thing originally belongs to you, you won't lose anything if you swear an oath!"
Huan Yin knew that if he continued to entangle with this woman here, it would be difficult to get a result. In the end, they would both be discovered by the guards here, and end up losing more than they gain. He had always chosen to fight hard before, just because there was no better way. But now the woman suddenly spoke, although he didn't understand the reason, but as the woman said, he would not suffer any loss if he swore such an oath, because the Heavenly Soul originally belonged to him, and he could say this openly at any time. In this way, he might as well believe the woman for once. If he could solve the problem, it would be the best. If not, it wouldn't take much time, and he could just fight again!
Huan Yin said, "I swear by the Tao that the things in the soul-calling altar originally belong to me. If this is false, I will..."
"That's enough!" For some reason, the woman's eyes became softer than ever before. She looked at Huan Yin. Although her face was invisible, there was an indescribable light in her eyes.
The woman picked up the soul-calling altar, looked at it, and threw it to Huan Yin. Huan Yin hurriedly caught it. As soon as he got it in his hand, he felt an extremely intimate feeling all over his body, and there was a desire and impulse to become complete.
The soul-calling altar was not tampered with by the woman, and the heavenly soul was obviously still in it. Huan Yin couldn't believe that the woman gave him the soul-calling altar like this, and he was speechless for a while.
The woman looked at Huan Yin deeply, and with a flash, she had already arrived at the end of the corridor. She only heard her say, "You have to be careful."
Huan Yin looked at the woman, but still didn't speak. Then, the woman flashed and disappeared into the corridor.
Huan Yin took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, he quickly escaped from the stone chamber.
