This voice, breathing heavily, eyed the distance with extre vigilance.
The Eight Thousand Flying Bear Army, the National Preceptor, and the Black Lotus Sect Leader were also on high alert.
A long while...
An even longer while...
As the dust settled, Lü Xuanxian rasped, "He... left."
The Emperor asked in a deep voice, "Who was it?"
Lü Xuanxian shook his head.
The Emperor fell silent, then said, "Everyone be careful, the plan has reached its final stage!"
...
...
Li Yuan failed to kill the target in one strike, so he retreated.
Another reason for his retreat was seeing that as Lü Xuanxian faced his attack, exaggerated Yin Qi suddenly surged around him.
Otherwise, Lü Xuanxian might have been taken down by him in a flash.
This confird to him that Lü Xuanxian was indeed connected to a certain evil ghost.
This world, indeed, is in turmoil with evil ghosts.
The Great Unity of Yin Yang is indeed to the benefit of evil ghosts...
Back at Chenxi Manor, he pondered over the recent events and prepared to head to the kitchen to find Elder Shuixiang.
The dishes prepared by Elder Shuixiang were truly delicious, and now that he was unconcerned about gaining weight, he could indulge freely...
But after just a couple of steps, a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over him.
He couldn’t help but stretch and yawn.
While yawning, he suddenly recalled many beautiful things.
These mories made him want to lie down and slowly think and reminisce.
He felt that he could have a dream, a dream where he could see all those beautiful things.
Just as the drowsiness ca rushing in, he unexpectedly felt a "hiss" sound coming from his skin.
Li Yuan looked and saw his arms beginning to shrivel and turn pale, as if they were becoming white paper.
However, this trend was imdiately dissolved by the vast Yang Qi within him.
In the manifestation and disappearance, it was like snow and ice thrown into a furnace, naturally producing continuous "hiss" sounds.
’Peng Mingyi.’
’Zhao Guyue.’
’These two stealthily struck at without my noticing.’
Li Yuan instantly understood, just now he made a move, while three experts attacked him simultaneously.
One was in the open, the others in the shadows.
He quickly went to a secret room, sat cross-legged, as fire waves emanated and a strange "sizzle" sound echoed around him, like "water dripping onto hot steel and producing green smoke", along with so wails resembling "prisoners’ hysterical screams during torture".
Before long, these sounds faded away.
Li Yuan felt the drowsiness dissipate, and the symptoms of his arms turning to white paper disappeared.
He stood up, stretched, circulated his breath, and examined his body once more, to ensure there were no surprises, then exhaled a long breath.
However, his steady nature still made him feel uneasy.
Li Yuan pondered for a mont, then went out the door, quickly flew up, heading toward the Black Market Ghost Realm.
...
Pop!
Li Yuan landed and stood before the Ghost Realm.
Red and black naturally appeared, forming a mbrane of incompatible water and fire pressed together.
"Sister Yan!"
Li Yuan shouted.
Before long, Lady Yan in Cyan Robe ca walking out from the depths of the Yin Qi-laden Ghost Realm.
Compared to before, Lady Yan’s coiled hair now had a somber wooden hairpin added, and her once thin, faint lips now had a hint of a dusky rouge, making her appear like a concubine in a palace.
Noticing Li Yuan’s gaze, Lady Yan said, "Husband, you were right, I was indeed influenced by those ghosts.
But now, I’ve almost fully digested it.
Afterward, there were so changes to my body.
This hairpin and this color... are both ford from Yin Qi.
They have no particular use, just look nice."
Li Yuan praised, "Indeed, they look nice."
The two of them fell silent for a while.
Lady Yan suddenly furrowed her brows and said nervously, "Husband, why do you have such a terrifying mark of Yin Qi on you?"
Li Yuan: ???
He ca here originally to have Lady Yan check him again.
But before he could say anything, Lady Yan pointed it out and even called it "terrifying".
"What happened?"
Li Yuan asked.
Yan Yu said, "It’s an unimaginably intense mark of Yin Qi, but it’s just a mark, temporarily harmless.
However, this mark allows you to be gradually exposed to its sight, as to how you beco exposed, I don’t know.
Because... the Yin Qi on this mark is already too terrifying."
"How could this be?"
Li Yuan murmured, then sat down beside Yan Yu, recounting everything he had experienced earlier.
Yan Yu said, "There is a great cause and effect around the Emperor, you standing there so boldly, surely attracted sothing’s attention."
Li Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, "Sister Yan, let’s look at it from another angle.
I think we’re bound to face the Emperor sooner or later, knowing about this great cause now is better than finding out during a crisis later, right?
To be honest, I just dispelled two similar curse-like forces."
With that said, he recounted his symptoms once more.
After listening, Yan Yu pondered for a while, and then said quietly, "Husband, the force that made you sleepy may be from the Miracle Beast Garden, and the one that caused your transformation to paper should be from the Lianyi House."
Li Yuan said, "Doesn’t that an Peng Mingyi is actually Jade Remains of the Miracle Beast Garden? And Zhao Guyue is the Jade Remains of the Lianyi House? How did they beco Jade Remains?"
Yan Yu shook her head and continued, "With Yin Qi burgeoning these days, it’s not impossible for such a Great Ghost Realm to develop intelligence."
She thought for a mont and added, "A child in the womb exposed to the aura of an evil ghost usually doesn’t survive, but it’s also not entirely impossible.
If there are enough... there’s always that one lucky child who will be born successfully, becoming Jade Remains.
Perhaps, the evil ghost used this thod to create Jade Remains.
