Chapter 176 Your master is summoning lightning to strike you!
Facing the cold-faced young man, Xue Lan gently deflected the longsword pointed at her brow, then grinned, revealing a radiant smile:
"division……"
Before Xue Lan could finish saying "Master," the young man in front of her tapped her on the head.
Xue Lan swayed and fell face down to the ground.
The moment she fell, Xue Lan wondered if this habit of making disciples fall face down was a fine tradition of the Xuanhuang Sect.
Landing face-first really hurts, especially since Xue Lan was just a cultivator with a damaged soul at this point.
Ling Yuanzi watched as Xue Lan rolled over on the ground and then lay flat on her back.
The azure sword tip was once again pointed at Xue Lan's nose, and Ling Yuanzi's voice was filled with rare anger: "Get up!"
Xue Lan thought to herself that her master's voice was really beautiful when he was young, but she couldn't quite connect with it.
The girl reluctantly sat up from the ground and asked, "How come Master has become younger?"
Ling Yuanzi tapped her on the shoulder: "Get inside! Let her come out and talk to me!"
Xue Lan didn't understand. Ling Yuanzi was quite happy when he first saw her, so why did their master-disciple relationship fade after just one fall?
If Ling Yuanzi knew what Xue Lan was thinking, he would have twisted her head open today to see what was inside.
The reason he was so eager to see Xue Lan before was to confirm whether Xue Lan still existed. Now that he saw that she was still alive and kicking, he naturally wanted to talk to the demon seed that had developed sentience.
Seeing Xue Lan standing there dumbfounded, Ling Yuanzi couldn't resist knocking on Xue Lan's head again.
The girl took a step back and covered her head, saying, "Don't hit me, I'll go crazy!"
Ling Yuanzi thought you've gone mad long ago. The young man repeated his request: "Tell her to come out!"
Xue Lan probed inward with her divine sense and found that the inner demon was currently devouring the remnant soul of the demon god, completely oblivious to what was happening outside!
Xue Lan could only shake her head at Ling Yuanzi: "I can't talk to her now! She's only there when I'm about to die..."
Before he could finish speaking, the young man in front of him struck Xue Lan with a palm strike. The azure sword light flowed like water across Xue Lan's neck, leaving a thin bloodstain.
Xue Lan wiped away the blood with trembling hands, unable to utter a single word.
The young man's voice was filled with even greater anger: "Make her come out!"
Within his sea of consciousness, the inner demon heard Xue Lan's trembling, terrified voice: "Come out quickly! If my master can't see you, he'll kill me too!"
The inner demon calmly replied, "Then die. It'll be perfect for me to find a demon's body."
Xue Lan was utterly devastated. For the first time, the Wolf Lord, who had always been so composed in the face of the Demon God's remnant soul and the Mist-Hidden Beast King, panicked. He felt his reputation was being tarnished!
The girl's voice trembled: "Master, she really doesn't want to come out!"
Ling Yuanzi sneered and pointed the tip of his sword at Xue Lan's heart.
Xue Lan: My life is over.
However, the tip of the sword only touched a strand of Xue Lan's hair hanging in front of her chest, because in the next instant, a layer of dark demonic energy spread from the girl's body.
After the demonic energy dissipated, Ling Yuanzi saw a head of dazzling silver hair and a slender hand forming a sword-like finger, gently waving it forward.
Boundless sword energy surged towards Ling Yuanzi like a sea of clouds.
The inner demon's gift to Ling Yuanzi was incredibly grand.
The young woman deftly deflected the sword energy, her figure retreating like a butterfly in flight. Her pale blue form gradually blurred until it vanished before the inner demon's eyes.
"Did your master run away?" the inner demon asked Xue Lan.
Xue Lan sat in front of the wooden door in her sea of consciousness, enduring the excruciating pain to repair her soul.
What they call "repair" is actually a cover-up of the fact that they forcibly separated the Golden Crow from their soul.
If Ling Yuanzi were to notice, his mind would likely be turned upside down by the old man who doted on his disciple.
Indeed, Xue Lan, the number one weapon-refining prodigy in the lower realm of Yuanming, described his master as someone who loved his disciple dearly.
Even though Ling Yuanzi had just cut her throat.
The inner demon felt that Xue Lan deserved to be bullied by others, and that she was simply insane.
The girl stood on the dilapidated plank road, surrounded by silence, with the terrifying aura left behind by the Mist-Hidden King Beast still lingering in the air.
"The Demon God's high priest has escaped?"
Xue Lan laughed and replied, "That's the high priest of the demon god, not some random little demon beast that you or I might encounter! My master is a cultivator, not someone like you or me who slaughtered everyone in our past lives!"
The inner demon nodded calmly and raised his hand to block a sword light that was coming from beside him.
"Your master is the most insidious sword cultivator I've ever seen!" The girl patted her hands, which were stained with demonic energy, and looked at Ling Yuanzi not far away.
The young man was handsome, and at that moment he was making a hand gesture that produced flashes of lightning.
The inner demon couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, his tone tinged with schadenfreude:
"Your master is summoning lightning to strike you!"
Xue Lan's voice sounded somewhat lifeless: "It was within my expectations. Our Xuanhuang Sect has always trusted each other quite a bit."
The inner demon didn't understand how Xue Lan had brought up the topic of trust. The girl stared at the lightning-summoning talisman in Ling Yuanzi's hand. The demonic energy behind her slowly coalesced into a gigantic beast shape.
It was a wolf with huge, ice-blue eyes, its body shrouded in demonic energy. It let out a warning howl at Ling Yuanzi.
A crackling sound began to come from the sky; it was the sound of lightning gathering in the high-altitude clouds.
The inner demon heard Xue Lan's incessant chatter.
"I have more faith in my grandmaster uncle and the junior brothers and sisters of Qingyu Peak. They will definitely be able to save me."
"Master knows this too!"
The inner demon learned for the first time how to use trust.
It's just so I won't be killed and I'll stay alive.
As expected, once a monster transforms into a human, its entire life is ruined!
"Crack!" Accompanied by a crisp clap of thunder, a bolt of black lightning struck down from the sky. It was caught by the giant black wolf behind the girl.
The inner demon looked at Ling Yuanzi and said, "You should know that she and I are one. If I disappear, she will also be annihilated!"
The girl's voice was no longer as obedient and lively as it was when she spoke to Ling Yuanzi; instead, it carried a strange air of authority.
Ling Yuanzi felt somewhat uncomfortable, no... extremely uncomfortable!
His apprentices may be disobedient and cause trouble, but they cannot be replaced by something of unknown origin.
The young man spoke with a forced smile: "Judging from your cultivation level, you could travel the Yuanming Realm even with just your soul. Why make things difficult for my little disciple?"
The inner demon felt uncomfortable looking at Ling Yuanzi, thinking to himself, "If I leave, you still won't have a disciple!"
The enormous black wolf behind the girl was like a giant canopy, blocking all the lightning bolts that struck down from above.
The inner demon's expression remained relatively calm until dark vortexes of clouds appeared in the sky above the Garan Secret Realm.
All the clouds in the sky above the entire secret realm converged in this direction, like a cloth being twisted and pinched from the center.
Slowly pull away.
Xue Lan heard the voice of her inner demon: "Your master is a bit crazy, Xue Lan, let's make a deal!"
Xue Lan: "What are the conditions?"
I'll fake my death once!
