Opening his eyes, a lucid and graceful face shielded his view. Shi Yan shivered and tried to squeeze a smile.
Hey… why are you down here?
Xia Xin Yan seemed to be in a good mood. Her water-blue long dress had many layers like a blooming flower decorated with many crystals, which outlined her mesmerizing body. She hung a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
The woman from the purple crystal battleship came to talk to me.
Shi Yan’s pupil shrank. He pretended to be calm and asked curiously,
What were you guys talking about?
Nothing. It was women’s stuff. That woman is really beautiful. I even felt my heart beating faster. I’m afraid that no man could resist her. Don’t you think so?
she sighed weakly.
Shi Yan’s face was placid, but he didn’t give any comment.
Obviously, Xia Xin Yan didn’t want to let him go that easily. She parted her lips and teased him,
What do you think?
Really beautiful.
Were you moved?
No.
Why not?
Because I have you.
Don’t you want to enjoy a life of having a lot of beauties surrounding you?
Cough! Cough! Never.
Really? Never?
Yes, I never want that kind of life.
. . .
Xia Xin Yan looked at him and started to guffaw, clutching her tummy. She laughed so hard that her body shook. Her face filled with a strange glory of the winner.
Smooch!
She suddenly walked forward. Without waiting for Shi Yan to react, she clutched his neck and gave him a smooch on his cheek, which was like a dragon gliding above the stream. She smiled and then swayed away as fast as lightning.
You look… cute today. I suddenly feel all of my sorrows wash away.
Then, she didn’t wait for Shi Yan to speak. She just moved swiftly and gently like a butterfly, leaving the secret chamber.
Rubbing his cheek with the sweet aroma, Shi Yan frowned as he didn’t understand anything. He didn’t know why she suddenly became that crazy.
The Divine Light warriors still had the vigilance they should have for Fighting League. Their battleships were still hovering, blocking their ways. They didn’t have a relaxing moment.
And that was all.
They didn’t disturb the Fighting League or send any warriors to show their power. They stayed there like water from a well or a river. Both sides were waiting for Miao Rong.
An elegant purple figure often stood on the high tower of the battleship to look at the flying bird battleships from a distance. Sometimes, when the two pairs of beautiful eyes met each other, they seemed to ignite flames. Both warriors of Divine Light and Fighting League were surprised as they found it inexplicable.
Xia Xin Yan was always relaxed. She wasn’t dispirited and reluctant like someone being held hostage. She looked casual as she often discussed cultivating methods with her subordinates. They often heard her silver, bell-like laughter.
Shi Yan sat quietly in the secret chamber of the battleship. He hadn’t left once ever since. He seemed to be cultivating there.
Sana came to Zi Yao’s battleship every day to talk about the tasks in their organization. Sana always wore a cold and harsh face to other people. However, when he spoke to Zi Yao, he looked much softer.
Zi Yao’s charming face always held a mesmerizing smile. When she spoke to Sana, it was the same. They talked about many things that happened in Shadow Ghostly Prison and the secrets of the Dark Shadow Clan’s banishment.
The information we got is from Second Elder Gu He of the Potion and Tool Pavilion.
Sana didn’t want to lie to her.
According to Gu He, the Monster Clan, Demon Clan, Potion and Tool Pavilion, and the Fighting League had joined hands to fight Dark Shadow Clan and expelled them. Gu He didn’t tell the details of that battle. However, he said that if the Dark Shadow Clan wasn’t expelled and the space passage wasn’t blocked, the God Clan, the overlord of the universe, could invade our Agate Star Area.
I heard that the Young Elder Fu Wei of Potion and Tool Pavilion has a… close relationship with a young man?
asked Zi Yao naturally.
Right, that young man is called Shi Yan. I heard that the warriors of Potion and Tool Pavilion who know him highly respect him. Elder Gu He said that the said young man has a close relationship with Monster Clan and Demon Clan. He did something great, but we don’t know what he’d done there,
said Sana.
Zi Yao’s beautiful eyes rippled with the strange light. She smiled and nodded to him.
He… where did he go?
I don’t know. But I think he went with Blood Devil to Devil Blood Star.
Sana wasn’t so sure.
Zi Yao didn’t ask further.
Mei-mei, you seem interested in that young man. Why?
Sana was sensitive.
Do you know him?
Fountainhead of power Upanishad.
Shi Yan’s souls emerged like the ignis fatuus. Shortly after, they turned into his real form. He sauntered into the region of Fires power Upanishads.
In that area, two graceful figures that looked like two illusions were floating. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
They were beautiful woman: Yu Shan and the young girl Xuan Fei.
You dare to come here!
Yu Shan said with a cold face.
You should know that if I wanted to kill you here, it’s a piece of cake.
Xuan Fei bit her lower lip, grunting.
Asshole. He’s cunning. He didn’t tell a single true thing.
What?!?
Shi Yan was surprised.
After your soul has refined the Poison-dipped Cold Bead, it has your soul imprint. It’s like a weapon that acknowledges its master. You can’t give it away! If my teacher didn’t tell me, I would have thought it was for my teacher to use. Apparently, you’ve tamed the bead. How could you give it to us? Harrumph, you’re full of lies!
Xuan Fei was indignant.
Yu Shan didn’t have a pleasant countenance, either.
Shi Yan was stunned. He looked at the beautiful woman and the young lady who were enraged and suddenly had a headache.
I actually didn’t know a thing about that Poison-dipped Cold Bead. I’ve never thought about deceiving you guys. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met you.
Yu Shan’s look drilled into Shi Yan. Pondering for a while, her face relaxed.
You don’t look like you’re trying to deceive us. If not, you wouldn’t dare to come here. It wouldn’t be different from killing yourself.
I’m wronged. The gossamers of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish entered my soul unknowingly. I didn’t want to take it, really,
explained Shi Yan.
Tell us the situation. Why you were able to gather those soul gossamers that easily. Even I couldn’t do that,
frowned Yu Shan.
After she had returned to Fiery Rain Star Area, she calmed down and thought about it. With what Shi Yan had shown at that moment, she thought that this event had something strange. Although she knew about the Departed Spirit Jellyfish, she knew it was really hard to gather its soul gossamers. Ordinary warriors couldn’t bear it. It wasn’t that easy to absorb, either.
Even if she could take it herself, it would have taken a lot of time to wear out the cold aura before she could take it in.
Shi Yan had captured that soul too fast. It wasn’t normal. She hadn’t reacted, yet he had finished it.
Thinking about it, she felt so strange. She thought perhaps they had misunderstood something. When Xuan Fei reported to her that Shi Yan had gone to the fountainhead of power Upanishad and expressed that he wanted to hand them the Poison-dipped Cold Bead, she thought that some misunderstanding was about eighty percent likely.
Today, as Shi Yan came here once again, she knew something strange had happened at that moment.
Oh, okay, let’s say it like this,
he hesitated,
my soul has something magical I don’t want to explain clearly. At that moment, I didn’t try to do anything and the mysterious feature of my soul had proactively gathered the soul gossamers. I couldn’t do anything to stop it. That’s how it happened.
The more vague and unclear he made it, the more Shi Yan winced and the more Yu Shan believed him. Yu Shan though that if Shi Yan wanted to fabricate an excuse, he would have found something more convincing. The way he knitted his brows and stammered spoke to the fact that he didn’t make up anything.
The Poison-dipped Cold Bead has your soul imprint. Unless you die, it’s difficult to extract it.
Yu Shan snorted.
I’ve crossed thousands of miles to help you and now I can’t get the bead. Tell me how you’re going to compensate me? You know, if I haven’t come there, your friends would have all died.
I don’t know what you need,
Shi Yan was baffled.
There’s a woman called Leona in your team. She follows you. I want… her to go to Fiery Rain Star Area to help us train our troops so that they could face the God Clan directly. If you agree, our knot will be erased. What do you think?
Shi Yan forced a smile.
Leona had become so hot these days. It was beyond his estimation. Today, not only the Demon Clan and Monster Clan considered her the top treasure. Even the alien force from another star area also wanted her talents.
Is it not okay?
Yu Shan’s face got colder.
Okay, but you have to wait for a while. At the moment, she’s training the Monster and Demon corps. Wait after she…
We don’t have much time!
Yu Shan intervened curtly.
Okay, we will arrange a troop to enter Agate Star Area. You will let Leona train them carefully. You don’t need to worry about all the cultivating materials, divine crystals, and other supplies. Just make sure Leona can turn them into powerful and elite corps!
shouted Yu Shan.
Shi Yan was astounded. He looked at Yu Shan for a long moment and then asked.
So you’re having a significant pressure from the God Clan as you’re so hurried. Is it true?
Yu Shan sighed and nodded begrudgingly.
We can’t resist for a long time…
All right. I’ll help you out! Send your troop here. I will arrange for them!
Shi Yan agreed all of a sudden.
The life star where the Divine Light and Fighting League were gathering.
The peak of the mountain where a massive divine crystal lode hid had an entrance that lead deep into the mountain.
Today, all of a sudden, people heard someone crying and screeching painfully. Immediately, dozens of warriors in Divine Light uniform ran out of there helter-skelter. Their entire bodies had purple bruises and their breathing so weak.
Shortly after, those warriors screamed and cried pathetically as they were scratching their skin and flesh, bleeding badly. Soon, their lives were taken away.
Warriors of the Divine Light and Fighting League discolored in fright. They didn’t know what was going on.
Quickly, more and more warriors of the Divine Light ran out of that entrance together with the mine slaves. They were crying and shrilling heartbreakingly. They all fell because of poison.
Many extinct volcanoes in this life star started to fume the thick smokes. Slowly, they covered the entire sky.
Shi Yan was hiding in the secret chamber. Hearing the noise, he walked out, his hand holding the inky cold bead. Looking at the dark red, blue, purple, and green smokes in the sky, he said,
The Dark Shadow Clan is too cruel. They had sealed the toxic smokes of the Departed Spirit Jellyfish in this divine crystal lode. Those restrictions triggered and they start to release the toxic smoke and mist. Although the Dark Shadow Clan had gone, they left a trap for the people who came after them. I guess it was aimed at the Fighting League.
Xia Xin Yan had a stern face as she frowned.
The extreme toxins the Dark Shadow Clan had left to ambush the Fighting League were triggered by the Divine Light warriors. At this moment, warriors of Divine Light who had entered that lode continued to die.
The entire sky was filled with toxic smoke. All of a sudden, everybody was trapped. This was the last deadly attack of the Dark Shadow Clan to exterminate its enemies.
