Chapter 299 Vast Dragon Domain
Chapter 299 Vast Dragon Domain
"It's not that I want you to die!" In an instant, the tenderness in Jin Guang's eyes vanished, and a hint of worry appeared in his icy blue eyes.
Her voice carried a hint of melancholy: "I just feel that I can't act for much longer."
The wine glass was placed on the square table and tossed a few times by the woman's fair fingers. A moment later, it was refilled with the clear, cool wine.
Lian Chuan absorbed a small portion of the Cold Moon Power, but most of it traveled through the pearl in the center of the Heavenly Secret Instrument to the Ice Flower Pool, swirling around Jin Guang like a soft veil, dreamlike and ethereal.
However, the embers could not absorb even a fraction of it.
With a wave of her wide sleeves, the woman caused ice clusters around the Ice Flower Pool to grow rapidly, completely enclosing the area like a giant ice cage.
After they finished doing all this, a small patch of lake water in front of them slowly parted, and a huge headless wolf carcass slowly floated up from the bottom of the lake.
The power of the cold moon that had been surrounding Emberlight immediately changed direction and flew towards the giant wolf corpse, slowly seeping into it.
"I can't absorb any of the power of the cold moon that has been offered for over a thousand years. It's all for the benefit of this pool of Pure Ice Lotus." Jin Guang's tone was tinged with helplessness.
"But now, the Pure Ice Lotus is also about to disappear."
He Zhui understood what Jin Guang meant.
The Pure Ice Lotus at the bottom of the Ice Flower Pool was cultivated by Xue Lan a thousand years ago. Cultivating the Pure Ice Lotus requires Xue Lan's demon soul.
It must be the demon soul of a demon lord at the peak of the fifteenth realm.
"Once you can't cultivate the Pure Ice Lotus, the demon clans of the Upper Realm might not suspect you're not Xue Lan. But they will also..."
He Zhui sighed, leaving his words unfinished.
Jin Guang continued, "They would also think that the Wolf King of the Northern River has now injured his claws and lost his teeth."
"We're completely at their mercy!"
"This is really a bit of a headache!"
He Zhui was speechless. The young man pondered for a while, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"How about we..."
Jin Guang immediately understood what he wanted to say, but the woman interrupted him directly: "You know even Xue Lan doesn't have that guts!"
He Zhui was still somewhat unwilling to give up: "Actually, I think Xue Lan has the guts. You need to solve the current problem." The young man leaned forward, his tone somewhat excited:
"You need to find a demon lord at the peak of the fifteenth realm to re-cultivate the Pure Ice Lotus for you, but you can't let the younger members of your clan who don't know the truth find out. You can only ask her."
Jin Guang wanted to retort, but couldn't think of any words. A sly glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she looked at He Zhui.
She raised her hand and patted He Zhui on the shoulder: "My lord!"
This shout made He Zhui jump up in front of the woman, and in an instant he teleported to the edge of the Ice Flower Pool.
The young man's tone was somewhat apprehensive:
What do you want to do?
Jin Guang slowly rose to his feet. The woman in white wore a gentle smile, her icy blue eyes filled with eager anticipation.
"That is indeed a good suggestion, but I am simply unable to leave here. How about I write a letter and ask my lord to make a trip to the Vast Dragon Domain for me?"
The woman's tone was gentle, but He Zhui felt a chill run down her spine: "I'm just giving you a suggestion. Don't expect me to go and die."
"Rather than go to the Vast Dragon Domain and get killed by Ao Zhu, I'd rather light some incense in the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm and beg Xue Lan to come up here for no reason and help me plant the Pure Ice Lotus."
Jin Guang looked at the young man and sneered, "So you also know that Ao Zhu would kill people?"
"You don't feel guilty when you offer suggestions."
The woman sat down again. He Zhui, unaware of the murderous intent, quietly returned and continued drinking his wine.
Even though he was drinking, he couldn't stop talking once he started:
"Actually, this matter is quite simple. You just need to go to the Vast Dragon Domain and explain to Ao Zhu that Xue Lan was forced to his death by her back then, right?"
Jin Guang sneered, "Truly my delusional Ghost Realm Lord!"
"If you have a fight with me today and we part ways, I will cut off my own sword tomorrow and my soul will vanish. Let's see if you feel ashamed then."
He Zhui's smile faded: "There's really nothing we can do about it."
"To be honest, it's all Xue Lan's fault. Why did she have to die so suddenly!"
They didn't even consider whether there would be trouble after they died.
Now he's left alone to deal with two.
"Let's put aside the matter of the Vast Dragon Domain for now!" Jin Guang looked at He Zhui and finally asked the question he had been holding back.
"Do you have any news about Xue Lan in the Thousand Realms of Ghosts?"
He Zhui clapped his hands: "I thought you'd never ask again!"
The young man wore a mysterious smile: "Xue Lan is doing well. She's been causing trouble for the demon god's vessel in the mortal realm every day. She kills it, scrapes it off, and doesn't even spare its soul. I wonder if she's using it for weapon forging or..."
Before they could finish speaking, their expressions darkened as suddenly as the sky.
Jin Guang's voice was somewhat hoarse: "You're saying the Demon Soul didn't go to the Thousand Realms Ghost Realm?"
He Zhui's face was also somewhat pale: "Yes, she hasn't gone to the Thousand Realms of Ghosts and hasn't merged with heaven and earth... she can't?"
"She wouldn't have eaten it, would she?"
"I dare not feed the inner demon anything again!" In the desolate lower realm, at the Clear Water Terrace, Xue Lan sent the last half-demon child out of her cave.
The woman slumped into the chair, answering Xue Tong's question in her mind.
"The seal in my mind seals not only my memories, but also the power of my inner demons."
"She's not one to stay put. She fed me some demonic souls and then tried to awaken my memories of my past life, wanting to overpower me. But who am I? I am..."
Xue Tong's voice drifted over softly: "So you can't control her anymore!"
Xue Lan: "Nonsense, I'm at the fifteenth realm..."
Xue Lan spoke up again: "You're not anymore, so you still can't control her!"
Xue Lan wanted to argue, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word.
Xue Tong: "Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?"
Xue Lan, trying to cover up her misunderstanding, picked up a teacup from the table and skillfully changed the subject: "Do you remember what Ji Yan said before about the dragon's might in Siyin Sword Technique? I have a guess here..."
Xue Tong: "Don't speculate... I'm just asking if you can't control that thing anymore?"
Xue Lan dislikes grown-up children, except for Zhu He.
The woman sighed in resignation, "Yes! It's a bit tricky."
Xue Tong rolled her eyes at her: "You should have said so earlier. Open your sea of consciousness and let me in."
Xue Lan's hand trembled, and the teacup nearly fell. The woman exclaimed in surprise:
"What?"
"I refuse to believe I can't outmaneuver her!"
