Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Demon Emperor Coercion, Forbidden Secret Technique (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Amidst the mountains, as the golden sun set, it transformed into a man in a golden robe, tall and imposing, exuding an aura of sunlight and warmth, like a youthful, sunny gentleman.
At the moment he spoke, he blocked Bai Ling’Er’s path forward.
"Fellow cultivator, what does this mean?"
Bai Ling’Er asked.
The man in the golden robe said, "Fellow cultivator, what happened in Qingqiu might deceive some low-level cultivators but cannot deceive us. Under the sun, there is nothing new, only repetitions. Your aunt, being small-minded, tried to harm you when she saw your extraordinary talent, but you escaped!"
"Now, the Qingqiu lineage is hunting you down... Your escape routes are limited. Why not join my Golden Crow Race? This emperor is at the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul level, not inferior to your aunt, and can naturally protect you. When your cultivation becomes strong enough, you can return to Qingqiu for revenge!"
Bai Ling’Er laughed and said, "Fellow cultivator, this is a plot to ensnare me, to use me as a furnace to help you overcome the Divinity Transformation barrier!"
The man in the golden robe nodded and said, "At our level, lies are of little use and only lower our own stature and dignity. If you were to join our Golden Crow Race, I, Wu Xingyun, would be willing to make you my queen, and remain devoted to you."
"When I reach Divinity Transformation, I will surely help you reach Divinity Transformation too, I will not break my promise, if I betray you, let heaven and earth punish me!"
As he spoke, Wu Xingyun raised his right hand to swear an oath.
Bai Ling’Er sensed the emotional changes in this Golden Crow Demon Emperor and confirmed that he was telling the truth.
If she agreed to become his Dao companion now, Wu Xingyun would protect her for life, even if it meant fighting her aunt.
This was all the truth.
Doing so would allow her to leverage her Six-Tailed Demon Fox physique to break through to Divinity Transformation, while gaining a future Divinity Transformation Dao companion and indirectly controlling the Fox Race of Qingqiu—truly a win-win situation with many benefits.
As for selling her out to her aunt, the aunt wouldn’t offer him much benefit anyway.
Even if temporarily agreed upon, it might later be reconsidered.
Moreover, she was only at the first layer of Nascent Soul, making her easy to control and highly profitable.
As for her, she could leverage Wu Xingyun’s cultivation to gain a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, even a Divinity Transformation level guardian, with a bright future; she could use him to fight against her aunt and return to the Qingqiu lineage.
Coming together as Dao companions benefits both sides.
The only downside is, no matter who wins or loses, Qingqiu will have to surrender some profit, becoming a vassal of another major race.
"Forget it! If I marry you as a Dao companion, you’ll inevitably use me as a reason to attack Qingqiu, severely damaging its interests. My aunt wronged me, but Qingqiu is innocent. To avenge my grievances, I cannot shamelessly involve outsiders to deal with Qingqiu!"
Bai Ling’Er directly refused.
"You might reject, but your aunt won’t!" Wu Xingyun said, "Ling’Er, if you reject me, you’ll be opposing the Golden Crow Race. Then, it won’t just be the Qingqiu lineage hunting you down, but also my Golden Crow Race."
His words carried a threat.
Bai Ling’Er said, "If it’s hundreds of years later and I’m more experienced, I might agree to your request, sacrificing Qingqiu’s interests just to avenge. But now, I can’t do this; Fellow cultivator, please step aside!"
Wu Xingyun said, "Why must you, Fellow cultivator?"
Bai Ling’Er said, "I apologize!"
Wu Xingyun coldly said, "For us cultivators wishing to go far, we must learn two things: one is to be wise, to be kind to others, to avoid offending others lightly, even seemingly insignificant people; another is to be ruthless, never offending others lightly, but if offended, to eliminate them utterly, leaving no future troubles!"
"Before intercepting, I had two plans: one, you agree to become my Dao companion, and I help you return to Qingqiu for revenge; the other, you refuse, and then I can only forcibly capture you to use as a furnace!"
"Fellow cultivator, why force me?"
Bai Ling’Er said, "I am not forcing you, but I look down on you."
About to tear the façade, Bai Ling’Er no longer cared, directly said, "Even if I become your Dao companion and cultivate dual cultivation a bit, you still cannot reach Divinity Transformation. It’s too hard to achieve Divinity Transformation. If dual cultivation could break through Divinity Transformation, the Yin Yang Demon Vein would have conquered the world long ago!"
"Fellow cultivator, placing your hope for Divinity Transformation on dual cultivation is already a misstep!"
"I don’t care!"
Wu Xingyun’s eyes flashed with a trace of mania, revealing a bit of madness and unwillingness, "As long as capturing you, I can break through the bottleneck and achieve Divinity Transformation!"
He swung his hand to capture, a massive palm descended from the sky, grasping the void, with all things transforming in its palm.
Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul cultivation, fully unleashed.
Swish!
At this moment, Bai Ling’Er activated the Instant Teleportation Secret Technique, intending to escape instantly, but after flying less than a hundred meters, she collided with an invisible barrier and fell to the ground.
"Since this emperor has taken action, there’s no escape. You’re adept at Instant Teleportation Secret Technique and can teleport to a thousand miles away in an instant. However, I have set up an enclosing Grand Array here, surrender!" Wu Xingyun approached, words tinged with mockery.
"No way!"
Bai Ling’Er’s eyes glinted stubbornly, "Since it’s like this, I’ll fight to the end!"
"Forbidden Secret Technique, Burn Six Tails!"
Bai Ling’Er activated the secret technique, causing six tails behind her to ignite, transforming into flames that entered her body, instantly a vast power augmented her body, as her cultivation rapidly elevated, First-Layer Nascent Soul, Second-Layer Nascent Soul, Third-Layer Nascent Soul... directly advancing to Eighth-Layer Nascent Soul.
"What secret technique is this?"
Wu Xingyun was horrified, retreating instinctively, feeling a slight sense of unease.
To think there exists a secret technique capable of elevating eight minor realms at once.
At this moment, Bai Ling’Er had reached Eighth-Layer Nascent Soul cultivation, only one realm lower than him, but the aura she exuded made even him feel a tinge of fear.
"Kill!
Bai Ling’Er activated this secret technique, suddenly a blood-red long saber appeared in her hand, with bloody patterns, carrying a hint of viciousness, accompanied by a slash as if celestial punishment, cutting towards Wu Xingyun.
Wu Xingyun dared not neglect, a large bell appeared above his head to suppress down.
At this moment, Bai Ling’Er instead struck towards the barrier.
Immediately, the invisible barrier shattered on the spot.
Bai Ling’Er leapt out, her aura declining once more.
Swish!
Activating the Escape Technique, Bai Ling’Er vanished.
"You can’t escape, become my furnace!"
Wu Xingyun sensed the distant aura, transforming into a stream of light pursuing away.
