Chapter 1173 Xuanyu 29
“What do you mean? You mean I’ll take your life?” Tan You said bluntly, “Should I call you Young Master Rong, or Huangfu Rong?”
Huangfu Rong was startled, then stared intently at Tan You: "It seems you know a lot."
“I do know some things,” Tan You chuckled. She wasn’t going to waste any more words with Huangfu Rong; who knew if he had any other tricks up his sleeve in the Upper Realm? After all, his divided soul had suffered damage in the Lower Realm, so the Upper Realm must have sensed it.
Huangfu Rong did indeed sense it in the upper realm. He immediately tried to recall his divided soul, but to his surprise, he couldn't. His divided soul seemed to be completely trapped, unless he manipulated it to self-destruct.
However, splitting his soul and self-destructing would also cause him great harm, so Huangfu Rong was naturally unwilling to do so.
Inside the Soul-Trapping Array, Tan You subtly beckoned, and Huangfu Rong's divided soul involuntarily entered her palm. Tan You was capable of seeking revenge and seeking retribution, but she never humiliated anyone's self-esteem.
There's no need. Humiliating the enemy would only make you look bad. As for Huangfu Rong wanting to kill you, in the end, it'll be a matter of who kills whom first.
Tan You then imprisoned Huangfu Rong's fragmented soul within a small jade bottle and inscribed a restriction on it. Finally, she smiled and inscribed a series of formations on the jade bottle.
Her only skill was in array formations. Although she wouldn't humiliate the other person's pride, she could use array formations to temper their mind. If Huangfu Rong could withstand it, it would be because of his extraordinary willpower; if he couldn't, then he was simply unlucky.
Tan You thought she was quite kind, but little did she know that in the eyes of someone like Huangfu Rong, falling into Tan You's hands was already a humiliation.
He hadn't expected that in just one exchange, without even touching Tan You, his avatar in the lower realm would be instantly killed. This Xuanwei mermaid was indeed far too unpredictable.
The instant Tan You trapped Huangfu Rong's divided soul in the jade bottle, Huangfu Rong in the upper realm also completely lost his connection with the divided soul. No matter how he tried to activate it, he could no longer sense the divided soul's existence.
He couldn't even manipulate his split soul to self-destruct.
"How is it?" Huangfu Jianchun naturally noticed Huangfu Rong's unusual behavior. For this father and son, killing a Nascent Soul stage merman in the mortal realm was a piece of cake.
But judging from the eldest son's expression, something unexpected has clearly happened.
Huangfu Rong's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water; "The divided soul has lost contact, I tend to think it's trapped."
Huangfu Jianchun paused slightly: "Was it Xuan Yu who did it?"
“Most likely,” Huangfu Rong said helplessly, “Once the split soul goes to the lower realm, it can act freely. Only when it returns will I know what it has encountered. Now… I don’t even know if it has encountered Xuan Yu.”
"Father, what should we do next?"
Huangfu Jianchun closed his eyes again: "No rush, let's observe first."
Huangfu Rong was unwilling to accept it: "He's just a merman in the Nascent Soul stage..."
He was already a seventh-grade immortal lord, his cultivation level was almost worlds apart, but now, when he crossed realms to chase him down, he was the one who lost the first move.
Tan You paid no heed to the movements of the Upper Realm. After carefully storing the small jade bottle containing Huangfu Rong's fragmented soul, she returned to Biluo Ridge on her own. Before she even reached the vicinity of Biluo Ridge, she was stopped.
The people blocking her way were quite interesting; they were from the demon beast clan. And not just any demon beast clan, but a very powerful one at that—dragons, tigers, foxes, and other great demon beasts had all come.
Seeing this, Jin Han quickly transformed and stood in front of Tan You, glaring fiercely at her: "What do you want to do?" "Pure-blooded Silver Ringed Serpents," a booming tiger's voice boomed, "I knew I wasn't mistaken, there really are pure-blooded Silver Ringed Serpents here. That shouldn't be the case, where in the lower realm would there be pure-blooded demonic beasts?"
Tan You understood; she knew these demonic beasts had come for a method of bloodline purification. She stepped out from behind Jin Han: "Let's talk about it inside Biluo Ridge."
Within Biluo Ridge, upon seeing those few solitary plant seedlings, the powerful demons showed no sign of covetousness. Ultimately, their cultivation was already one step away from ascension, and the spirits of plants offered them no further benefit.
Tan You poured a cup of tea for each of the powerful demons: "Seniors, have you come here for a method of bloodline purification?"
As her strength increased, Tan You began to speak and act more directly. Because insincere and roundabout ways only work with the weak; the strong are straightforward.
Tan You's style also suited the temperament of these great demon beasts. Mo Long spoke first: "Yes, we demon beasts from the lower realms are mostly of impure bloodlines. The more we progress, the more we realize that our mixed bloodlines have been shackled by our cultivation."
"If you can purify our bloodline, I will owe you a favor."
Tan You chuckled: "Whether it's a matter of human relationships or not is just that. I can certainly help you purify your bloodline, but the process of purifying bloodline is extremely painful, and it is difficult for anyone without great perseverance to get through it."
Jin Han nodded: "It is indeed very difficult."
Even though Tan You had collected countless rare and precious materials and top-tier cultivation techniques for her, Jin Han still faced a near-death experience during the bloodline purification process.
Mo Long: "It can't be more painful than being struck by lightning, right? As long as I can stay alive, I can endure any pain."
Tan You chuckled: "Purifying bloodlines will not cause you to perish, but it is extremely painful. Of course, I am not a charity. I can help you clear obstacles on your path of cultivation, but you will need to pay me."
A anaconda swam to Tan You's hand: "What do you want?"
Tan You was straightforward: "I want the impure bloodlines you removed. As you can see, the Biluo Ridge is full of small demon beasts, and their strength is not strong."
"If they were to fuse with the bloodline of a great demon with the same attributes, their strength could be further enhanced."
The anaconda transformed into human form, revealing itself to be an incredibly handsome man. Tan You glanced at him: "He's good-looking, but his charm won't work on me."
The anaconda tried to hook Jin Han's sleeve: "Lord Xuan Yu, I'm not interested in you either."
Jin Han slapped the anaconda's hand away: "Don't touch me! If you dare to reach out again, I'll chop off your claws!"
The anaconda wasn't angry. He grabbed Tan You's sleeve and wiped away non-existent tears: "How heartless. We're of the same kind. Shouldn't we love each other?"
Jin Han glared at him: "Speak properly, or I'll kick you out of Biluoling!"
Currently, Biluoling is dominated by Tan You and Jin Han, but apart from teaching the little monsters and plant spirits, Tan You doesn't care about anything else; Jin Han basically takes care of everything.
As for Yao Yao, she is currently receiving instruction from the elders at the Sword Sect and has no time to come back.
The anaconda knew when to stop; it couldn't really be kicked out by Jin Han, could it? How would it get close to Jin Han then? Although snakes can be... well, they are still quite chaste.
