Chapter 1236 Soul Search
Li Yuan arrived very quickly.
Ning Ruan vaguely guessed that the Hundred Flowers Clan was probably hiding somewhere near the Eternal Domain.
Firstly, it's close by, and there are many people in the Eternal Realm, making it convenient to take advantage of the situation.
Secondly... the Flame Spider Clan certainly didn't expect the Hundred Flower Clan to be so bold as to hide right under their noses.
Ning Ruan thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.
"Young fellow Daoist, are you a human?"
The elder who arrived was now in the form of a Spirit Butterfly.
Despite his unfathomable cultivation level, he treated Ning Ruan with unusual kindness.
Li Yuan, however, still appears as a human.
She stood obediently behind her elder, her brows still bearing a deep sorrow, but the worry she had shown before was gone.
Clearly, he had already confirmed that his sister was alright.
“Yes.” Ning Ruan did not deny it.
Instead, he glanced at Li Yuan with considerable surprise.
It seems this guy hasn't told his clansmen about her identity yet?
"Young fellow Daoist is quite different from the humans I have ever met."
There are not many humans who can show their true appearance.
At this point, the elder suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh, "But that was in the past. Now, things should be different."
"Even though the human race has lost its former glory, it is still different from small races like ours."
"The human race today would have no problem showing themselves in their true form."
While expressing his admiration, the elder did not forget the purpose of his trip.
She took out a jade bottle with carved patterns from her storage ring:
"I've heard that you're quite fond of the Hundred Treasures Soul Essence, young fellow. How about mine?"
She politely handed it over.
Ning Ruan took it, and as soon as she opened it, a rich fragrance of plum blossoms wafted out.
Without waiting for her to speak.
The elder had already said, "I will not participate in the transactions between you and the younger generation of the clan. This is my personal transaction with you."
"I will give this item to you in exchange for the Flame Spider Clan member you captured. I wonder if this deal is acceptable?"
"..." Ning Ruan hesitated for a moment, "It's not a problem, but you might suffer a little loss."
The elder looked up. "He's already dead?"
"He's not dead yet, but he's not far from it."
They're practically half-dead.
The elder didn't mind, "Then there's no such thing as losing out. Even if you really die, this item can be considered a gift from me to you, young friend, as a thank you for saving Li Yuan and Bai Zhuo."
Ning Ruan didn't have much to say. "Okay, I'll give it to you now."
"Wait, benefactor, the elder and I will go out and wait for you. Once the person comes out, please send me a message."
Li Yuan quickly replied.
Ning Ruan and the elders both looked at him.
One person found it funny, while the other instantly understood.
He was about to turn around and leave.
Ning Ruan simply took out the scroll, saying, "There's no need to hide it, and there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Done.
He tapped the scroll with his fingers.
next moment.
A faint light flickered on the otherwise unremarkable painting, and a figure tumbled down from mid-air with a thud, crashing heavily onto the floor of the room.
At this moment, the Flame Spider Clan cultivator was soaked to the bone, barely breathing, and his face and exposed skin were even covered with water plants and mud, looking extremely disheveled.
He barely managed to open his eyelids, and after seeing his surroundings, his eyes burst with ecstasy, but it was immediately replaced by extreme weakness.
Good news, my cultivation has been restored.
The bad news was exactly as he had suspected: the injuries were too severe.
He had barely tried to circulate his spiritual power when he couldn't help but groan, black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, making him look even more miserable.
"It's him! He's the one who injured Sister Baizhuo!"
Li Yuan's resentful voice suddenly rang out.
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator struggled to raise his eyes, only to meet Li Yuan's intensely hateful gaze.
No.
To be precise, it was a gaze filled with murderous intent.
The elder glanced at Ning Ruan, then looked down at his enemy, who was in a truly miserable state on the ground.
Silently, he took out a pill and forcefully fed it into the mouth of the Flame Spider Clan cultivator.
The latter, of course, doesn't want to eat it.
Seeing that familiar gaze, he already knew which race this female cultivator, who looked like a Spirit Butterfly, originally belonged to...
But the opponent was simply too strong.
Even at his peak, he was powerless against such power.
Let alone now?
The pill did not cause the expected pain upon entering the mouth.
Instead, it gave his dying body a bit more strength.
She doesn't seem so weak anymore.
Although he couldn't physically run away, at least he had the strength to speak.
say……
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator suddenly remembered something and was instantly struck dumb.
He roughly knew what this group of people wanted to do.
as predicted.
The next moment, he heard the female cultivator who had forcibly fed him the pill look at him coldly and ask a question similar to Ning Ruan's:
"Why is the Flame Spider Clan attacking my Hundred Flower Clan?"
"...This is a decision made by the clan. I am just a junior at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and I only need to follow orders."
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's face was deathly pale, his lips and teeth moving.
At this point, it was impossible for him to remain silent.
"It seems you're not going to tell me the truth."
"I'm telling the truth!"
"..."
The elder looked down at him.
There was no anger in his expression.
There was only a frozen, calm atmosphere.
She suddenly raised her hand, a tiny point of light gathering at her fingertip, and slowly pressed it towards the brow of the Flame Spider Clan cultivator.
"Since you are unwilling to tell me, then I will have to see for myself."
Soul search!
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator's pupils constricted sharply, and extreme fear appeared on his face.
He wanted to struggle, he wanted to self-destruct.
Under the overwhelming and unstoppable force, he couldn't even move a finger and could only watch helplessly as the faint light disappeared into his brow.
"No...no...don't..."
"The pill I just gave you has another effect besides keeping you alive temporarily."
The elder's tone remained calm. "That pill was infused with the soul essence of our clan's king. You may not know this, but although our Hundred Flowers Clan has many branches, each person's essence is somehow connected to the king."
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator trembled violently, his eyes almost overflowing with fear.
He had already figured out the use of that pill.
The elder's voice seemed to emanate from an ice cellar, each word striking his already collapsing soul:
"War between two races is indeed not something you can decide. If you only kill my people, I will give you a quick death."
"But you obviously aren't."
"You tormented their souls, so I should repay you in the same way."
"Of course, you can also perform soul-searching at the same time."
The words fell——
"what--!!!"
The Flame Spider Clan cultivator suddenly let out a shrill, inhuman scream.
His whole body writhed and twitched wildly, yet was held firmly to the ground by an invisible force.
Pain, despair, fear...
"No... spare me... I'll tell you everything... everything..."
"I said...I said..."
With each word uttered, the Flame Spider Clan cultivator's body would convulse violently.
It is clear that the pain had reached its extreme.
The elder simply watched indifferently as he rolled on the ground and wailed.
The faint light at his fingertips did not stop; instead, it took advantage of his unstable state of mind to penetrate deeply and forcibly rummage through all his memories from the past few years.
I do not know how long it has been.
The screams of the Flame Spider Clan cultivators gradually subsided.
Eventually, it turned into unconscious hoarse sounds, with the body occasionally twitching, and only emptiness and death remained in the eyes.
