Chapter 503: Thousand Hand Bodhisattva

Chapter 503: Thousand Hand Bodhisattva

Suddenly, Huo Linglong wrinkled her nose and asked, “Huh? What’s that smell, Brother Sun? It smells kinda... weird.”

Sun Xuanzhen grimaced immediately. Never speak of this again, and we might still be friends!

“I’m going to collect the Profound Yellow Qi now. Goodbye,” declared the swordsman before departing toward a room immediately.

Yue Juejiang left without saying a word as well.

“Interesting!” Huo Linglong chuckled to herself before walking toward a room as well.

After collecting two wisps ofProfound Yellow Qi, Huo Linglong suddenly recalled something and went straight for Ye Qing and Yi Pin’s room. “I almost forgot. This room is a bag of curiosity as well.”

The corners of Ye Qing’s lips curled into a small smirk when he saw Huo Linglong walking straight toward them. He supposed it was too much to hope that she would forget all about them. Luckily for them, they had prepared for this exact scenario.

Without a word, Ye Qing closed the door completely and waited patiently for Huo Linglong to show up.

A few breaths later, Huo Linglong entered the room. When she saw that Ye Qing and Yi Pin had one foot in the grave, she couldn’t help but sigh in disappointment. “Oh, dammit. This is boring.” New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

She inhaled the two wisps of Profound Yellow Qi in the air and got ready to leave. She was at the entrance when suddenly, she curled a finger within her sleeve and flicked. An invisible wisp of spiritual power immediately shot toward Yi Pin.

Ah, shit.

A steely glint flickered in Ye Qing’s eyes as he brought down a finger. A ripple of demonic thought immediately washed out.

“Heavenly Demon Captures The Soul”

The ripple annihilated the spiritual power Huo Linglong fired at Yi Pin and temporarily detained her mind at the same time. Her eyes immediately glazed over.

At the same time, Ye Qing leaped into the air, produced a blade of dreamy crimson from his sleeve, and swung it straight at Huo Linglong’s neck.

“Soulchasing”

He didn’t hold back. Since they were found out, he might as well eliminate one of the major threats to his well being right here and now.

Right before Huo Linglong would be decapitated, a pair of slender fingers suddenly blocked in front of the flash of crimson and pressed downward.

“Ah! The Purple Sun Trueflame?!”

Huo Linglong blanched. Her Yin God trembled, and her energies immediately plummeted like crazy.

There was nothing more a practitioner of the “Flames of Desire” feared more than a supreme flame of yang. In the presence of the Purple Sun Trueflame, she would be lucky to be able to unleash even half her original strength.

“Hahaha... It looks like I’ve miscalculated. can hardly believe that someone like you has been lurking under my nose this whole time.”

Huo Linglong looked dazed as she stared at Ye Qing and his flame blocking in front of the exit, but she quickly regained her calm and smiled brightly.

“Let us negotiate, shall we?”

“Okay. Let’s negotiate then.” Ye Qing smirked right back at her.

At first glance, it looked like the upper hand was his. After all, he was controlling the exit, and she clearly feared his Purple Sun Trueflame. In reality, they were on equal footing—no, he was the one who was at a slight disadvantage. He had been from the moment he failed to ambush and kill Huo Linglong.

Yes, his Purple Sun Trueflame seemed to be the bane of Huo Linglong’s existence, and yes, killing Huo Linglong wouldn’t take too much time and effort. The problem was he couldn’t do it without alerting those around him.

The rooms in the Earthly Sovereign’s Coffin could insulate one’s spirit perfectly, but not sound and energy. If they caused too big a commotion and drew Sun Xuanzhen and Yue Juejiang’s attention, then he would be in serious trouble.

Moreover, the room was only so big. Yi Pin was almost certainly going to get caught up in their fight. Although Yi Pin was a former champion of unknown heights, his past two days of observation told him that his glory days were far behind him. The old Taoist might be knowledgeable, experienced, and shameless, but he was also weak as shit. He was almost certainly going to die if he chose to fight Huo Linglong to the death. Considering the circumstances, negotiating with Huo Linglong was his only option.

It was the same for Huo Linglong as well. She could make Ye Qing pay, but he could certainly make her pay with the Purple Sun Trueflame as well. Unless she wanted to commit double suicide with him and let the spoils go to Sun Xuanzhen and Yue Juejiang, she had no choice but to negotiate with him.

“Hahaha! I love smart people.” Huo Linglong giggled and waved away the pink flames still burning here and there inside the room. Then, she looked Ye Qing up and down with deep interest and curiosity, “You’ve hidden yourself very well, dearie. You were this close from fooling us completely.”

“You are strong, and yet you’re willing to lie low and surrender your share of the Profound Yellow Qi to us. Either the Profound Yellow Qi is useless to you, or you’re plotting something.”

“However, the Profound Yellow Qi is useful to everyone. I cannot believe that someone would relinquish it willingly, especially one as strong as you. So, you must be plotting something. But what is it?”

Behind her mask, Huo Linglong rubbed her smooth chin and smiled wider. “Now that I think about it, Yue Juejiang lost his Profound Yellow Qi Calabash on the first day you showed up. It can’t be a coincidence. You must be the one who stole his Strange Artifact, am I right?”

“I’m seriously impressed by your audacity, dearie. Yue Juejiang is a member of the Earthly Sovereign Hall, you know?”

Ye Qing didn’t say anything, and his lack of response was no different from admission.
