Chapter 1638 Dark Sonata
A black shadow flashed by, and Chi Wuyao had already arrived in front of Huan Jin. A white jade-like hand stretched out from the black mist and gently covered Huan Jin's chest. A dark mysterious formation instantly took shape under her palm.
Suddenly, a thin layer of black light enveloped Huan Jin's whole body, causing the green light in her pupils to slowly retreat. But her pupils were still dilated, reflecting unprecedented shock: "Master, this is..."
"It's the Sky Poison." Chi Wuyao said, and the pair of hands that seemed to be carved by nature slowly withdrew at this time. The moment they sank into the black mist, the contrast between jade white and pitch black was so strong that it was blinding: "The level of the Sky Poison Pearl's magic poison is too high. It cannot be annihilated. You can only suppress it by force and then wait for its "life" to die on its own."
"The amount of poison is very small. You can control it. Don't panic. It should be gone by this time the day after tomorrow."
The most important reason why Qianye Fantian was completely poisoned by the Sky Poison Pearl when Yun Che and Xia Qingyue plotted against him was that he was panicked and desperate because he could not eliminate and annihilate the Sky Poison, and he had no idea that the poison released by the Sky Poison Pearl could only "survive" for twenty hours.
And Chi Wuyao seemed to know it clearly.
"Now, do you still think he didn't recognize your disguise?" Chi Wuyao said quietly.
Huan Jin put her hand on her chest, and after a long while, her panting finally calmed down. She turned her eyes suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Master, he claimed that he led you to show up for cooperation. But when he recognized my identity, he secretly did such a vicious thing. He has no sincerity in "cooperating" with my Soul Stealing Realm."
"No, he just used this to give me a warning and show his power." Chi Wuyao said slowly: "Including his killing Yan Sangeng, it not only laid the fuse, but also a statement and coercion to me."
Huan Jin: "...?"
"His way of doing things has completely changed." Chi Wuyao's voice became long and seemed to sigh, or even sad: "He would never be like this before."
"He...before?" Huan Jin looked surprised.
"Huan Jin, you are not completely wrong." Chi Wuyao said slowly: "Whether Yun Che can help us fulfill our long-cherished wish, no one can guarantee it. Whether the future will be better or worse, no one can foresee it. However, given the current situation in the Northern Divine Region, he is the only possibility and hope."
She did not emphasize the word "only". But it was like two soul-piercing magic seals, deeply imprinted in Huan Jin's heart and soul.
After a long silence, Huan Jin did not express any doubts or advice. She knelt again and knelt on one knee behind Chi Wuyao: "We sisters will do our best to help the master fulfill his long-cherished wish."
"Send the message to Yu Wu, Qing Ying, and Chan Yi outside, let them return to the world immediately." Chi Wuyao ordered.
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the eternally dark sky, her lips slowly curled up: "This dull and dark sky for a million years is finally going to become interesting."
————
The direction that Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er were heading to was exactly where the Soul Stealing Realm was.
Because the Northern Divine Realm was a gradually shrinking "cage", it was far less powerful than the other three divine realms. At their maximum speed, they could reach it within a day without the help of the Space Profound Array.
"Why didn't you tell me about Zhou Xuzi!" Yun Che said coldly.
Qianye Ying'er glanced at him: "Avoiding Chi Wuyao just to tell me this?"
"Why didn't you tell me!" Yun Che repeated coldly.
"There is no need." Qianye Ying'er said: "Also, although you have been very restrained, you are still a little anxious. You should know this very well."
Yun Che frowned, but did not speak.
"If you lay dormant for another year or two, you would have more initiative in the face of Chi Wuyao, but you didn't. In Huangtianque, you didn't discuss it with me and forcibly killed Yan Sangeng in order to directly anger the Yama Realm and force Chi Wuyao to swallow up Fenyue and Yama as soon as possible."
"All this proves that it was the right choice for me to hide it from you."
Yun Che still didn't speak.
"The hatred for your enemies and the hatred for yourself are like a body-devouring demon. Every breath makes you feel miserable. I understand it very well." Qianye Ying'er looked forward: "And Zhou Xuzi is the person you hate the most... Oh, it could also be Xia Qingyue? I'm afraid that if I tell you, the time you come to find Chi Wuyao will be greatly shortened."
"Just because of this?" Yun Che's expression did not change at all under Qianye Ying'er's words.
"Yes."
"Why does Zhou Xuzi value Zhou Qingchen so much?" Yun Che asked.
Qianye Ying'er smiled faintly and said, "Zhou Xuzi's eldest son is nearly 20,000 years old, but Zhou Qingchen, the prince of Zhoutian, is about the same age as me. Don't you think it's strange?"
"There's nothing strange about it." Yun Che said, "Didn't your father choose you as his successor?"
"I don't have a father." Qianye Ying'er snorted coldly, and then said disdainfully, "That useless prince of Zhoutian is worthy of being compared with me? The reason why I was chosen as the successor by that old dog Qianye Fantian is because I surpass all his descendants and all my peers in qualifications. And Zhou Qingchen... You have had contact with him several times. He thinks that with his cultivation, qualifications, prestige, and character, which aspect is worthy of being the 'Prince of Zhoutian'?"
Qianye Ying'er and Zhou Qingchen are of similar age. Even if Qianye Ying'er was abolished, the power of the Brahma God he inherited is still the cultivation of a mid-stage God Lord.
But Zhou Qingchen is a mid-stage God Lord.
As the heirs of the God Emperor, the gap between the two in the cultivation of the Mysterious Dao is more than a world of difference.
Apart from Qianye Ying'er, who is an outlier, Zhou Qingchen's cultivation of a mid-stage Divine Lord at his age is already enough to be proud of. However, he is the crown prince of Zhoutian, enjoying the best environment and resources in the world. There is no doubt that a large part of his cultivation comes from this.
The two great guardians of Zhoutian risked their lives to enter the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm to obtain the Absolute Beginning Divine Fruit for him, which is enough to show this.
Even with the resources of the king realm and the treatment that obviously exceeds the limit of the crown prince, his cultivation is impressive, but it really cannot reach the height of the heir of Zhoutian... Even among those "chosen children" who have experienced Zhoutian for three thousand years, there are many people who are far more dazzling than him.
In terms of prestige and character, Zhou Qingchen is nothing compared to Qianye Ying'er.
Therefore, facing Qianye Ying'er, who is obviously of the same status, Zhou Qingchen has always been inferior and ashamed. Even though he loves her like crazy, he never dares to take a step forward.
Yun Che thought for a moment and said, "Go on."
"It is said that Zhou Xuzi's wife is not of noble origin. If I remember correctly, she seems to be from a middle-level star realm." Qianye Ying'er explained indifferently, "That star realm is the same as the Snow Song Realm, and the main cultivation is ice profound power."
Yun Che: "..."
"With such an origin, she was chosen as Zhou Xuzi's wife, which shows the depth of their feelings." Qianye Ying'er faintly snorted with disdain: "I heard that the reason why Zhou Xuzi values this woman so much is that she once did it for Zhou Xuzi..."
"Speak to the point." Yun Che interrupted him coldly. Every time he heard the three words "Zhou Xuzi", the veins all over his body would spasm uncontrollably, so how could he be willing to listen to his past.
"In short... that woman had been married to Zhou Xuzi for many years but still had no children. After consulting a doctor, I learned that she had cold wounds on her body due to her cultivation of ice profound power. Moreover, the cold wounds had accumulated for many years, making it almost impossible for her to have children."
"Heh." Yun Che smiled coldly. He could probably guess what happened next.
"Zhou Xuzi and the woman tried countless methods, but after many years, Zhou Xuzi had countless descendants, and his eldest son was nearly 20,000 years old, but she still had no children. Zhou Xuzi had never appointed a crown prince, which probably moved the woman and made her feel guilty. She finally made up her mind and tried the only possibility. She destroyed her own profound veins without telling Zhou Xuzi, dissipated all her cultivation and coldness, and then repaired her body, and finally got pregnant."
Yun Che knew very well that it was very easy for a woman to hurt her uterus when she cultivated ice profound power. With his ability, he could easily recover, but for others, even at the level of the King Realm, it was almost impossible to solve the problem.
"Although that woman has lost her profound strength, the resources of the Zhoutian Realm are still enough to extend her lifespan for a thousand years. But unfortunately, her cold injury was too severe, and she died directly after giving birth to Zhou Qingchen with difficulty."
"That was probably the most powerless time in Zhou Xuzi's life. So, Zhou Qingchen is definitely not as simple as his only legitimate son."
"That's all?" Yun Che seemed to sneer.
"Not enough?" Qianye Ying'er asked back.
"... Enough." Yun Che's eyes gradually condensed: "Enough... Very good."
Qianye Ying'er looked sideways, and she saw Yun Che's palms tightly clenched, and there seemed to be a trace of blood slowly flowing out from between his fingers.
"But, are you sure that the old dog Zhoutian will attack the Northern Divine Region after being angered?" Yun Che suddenly asked.
"Probably." Qianye Ying'er said, "No matter how many years an old monster has lived, he will have his own weaknesses. The reason why I know so much about Zhou Qingchen is because when I was very young, Qianye Fantian asked me to see and find everyone's weaknesses!"
"Including Zhou Xuzi, Yue Wuya, Dragon King... including all those who can be used or may become a threat."
Qianye Ying'er was talking about the survival rules that Qianye Fantian had instilled in her since she was a child. But unfortunately, she never saw clearly what Qianye Fantian's weaknesses were.
"Zhou Qingchen is Zhou Xuzi's biggest weakness. After he is completely enraged... you can try to let him take your hatred and state. At that time, nothing he does is strange."
Yun Che: "..."
"In addition, he will not only bear hatred, but also have a heavy sense of crisis after witnessing your terrible growth and resentment. The combination of the two will make him wipe you out in the shortest time at all costs and regardless of the consequences, and there can be no more luck and hesitation."
"How confident are you in achieving these?" Yun Che asked.
"Fifty percent." Qianye Ying'er said. However, in front of Chi Wuyao, she had to remain calm and confidently show "ten percent".
"If he doesn't fall for it, then think of another way." Qianye Ying'er smiled faintly: "There are many ways as long as you are willing to think. This is the most likely way I can think of for now. I don't want you to be too anxious before everything is ready and waste this best opportunity."
"At least, let this Northern Divine Region... only have one king realm left!"
"Moreover," Qianye Ying'er's lips moved slightly, and the slight arc was extremely grim: "The longer you hold on to hope, the more painful and crazy you will be when you finally despair, isn't it?"
Yun Che was silent for a long time, and didn't speak, as if he agreed with Qianye Ying'er's words.
"I am curious about one thing." Qianye Ying'er suddenly said: "What's the matter with that little girl?"
She didn't think that Yun Che would have any extra good thoughts now.
"That's a witch." Yun Che said.
"..." Qianye Ying'er's eyebrows moved, and then she snorted softly: "I see."
"The seventh witch, Huan Jin, has the power to disguise herself and hide herself, which is really well-deserved." She thought of the name directly: "Within ten steps, she even hid it from me. Even the Heavenly Killing Star God can't do this."
"Besides the witch, that Chi Wuyao should not be underestimated." Qianye Ying'er frowned slightly, her eyes cold: "This is the first time I feel that a person's eyes can see through my soul."
"Besides, this cooperation is too smooth." She glanced at Yun Che: "Do you think it's because of the relationship with the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor?"
"I won't trust anyone." Yun Che said coldly.
"Including me?"
"Yes." A one-word response, without hesitation.
"...Very good." Qianye Ying'er nodded slowly, as if praising. Then, she looked ahead and said something inexplicable in a very light voice: "Even I don't dare to believe in myself... Haha, it's really ridiculous."
"...?" Yun Che turned his eyes and glanced at her.
Passing through a series of dark realms, the realm belonging to the Soul Stealing Realm finally appeared in sight.
It was also a dark world, but its existence was like a demon god standing in the clouds, casting supreme demonic power on the surrounding world.
