The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 32

Ruoying gently shook her head. She stepped forward and pressed Mu Yinfeng’s wrist. Mu Yinfeng suddenly felt an extremely cold and sharp spiritual energy pour in through the acupoint at her wrist. A metal-piercing sensation continued without end and instantly occupied her entire body.
“It is best not to break open the seals.” Ruoying said faintly, “I have temporarily sealed the spiritual energy inside your body. Huixue, take her away.”
Huixue stepped forward, her eyes full of questioning. “Then Martial Uncle Shadow, what about you?”
“Since the mission was given to me, I am only taking responsibility for the mission. Besides, I only wanted Yinfeng to come over and feel what a Heaven-grade Mao rank is. I had no other meaning.” Ruoying stroked the phoenix-head hairpin in her hand and sighed softly. “Your Northern Domain and the Southern Domain have always had friendship. In your view, is there any room to turn Jian Shu’s matter around?”
Huixue shook her head. “Very difficult. To transform into a Heaven-grade Mao rank, that hatred is impossible to reverse. Almost no one can make a Heaven-grade evil being voluntarily give up revenge.”
“So we can only suppress or kill her.” Ruoying said softly, “But that is almost impossible. Even for people of the heavenly realm, killing a Heaven-grade being is not easy. Otherwise, the heavenly realm would not have left Biyuntian of the Ice Domain alone until now. You have deep ties with the Ice Domain. If you can invite him…”
“I cannot contact him. I do not know where he went.” Huixue turned to look north. Beneath the vast night, there were only clusters of distant mountain shadows.
“If we cannot invite him, then never mind. He might not sincerely want to help us anyway. After all, back then, it was still the human race that wronged him.” Ruoying’s expression turned mournful, as if she had thought of some old matter, and she did not continue.
Mu Yinfeng quietly watched the two of them. Unfortunately, Ruoying had sealed her ability to move, so she could not cut in at all. Although the extreme yin spiritual energy inside her body surged and was slowly eating away at the spiritual energy Ruoying had used to seal her, Ruoying’s skill was deep after all. It would still take time to break free.
She focused completely on eroding Ruoying’s spiritual energy, doing her best to recover the ability to move before anyone carried her away. She had once wondered what she would become after she died. If she could contend with Yimu after death, then she should also be able to fight Jian Shu.
A trace of burning heat suddenly came from her wrist. Mu Yinfeng worked hard to turn her eyes downward. This aura seemed to come from the blood vine. The blood vine released brilliant red light, scorching and dazzling. Waves of spiritual current flowed from it, following her meridians up her arm. A tingling numbness came from the wound. The curled-open flesh quickly wriggled and moved toward the center. In only a few breaths, her arm was smooth as before, without a single scar.
The blood vine’s self-healing ability?
Mu Yinfeng let out a low gasp. Amid her shock, she discovered that her body could already move. At the same time, the blood vine changed from bracelet to whip and was gripped tightly in her palm. A cocoon of light suddenly shattered before her eyes, turning into many shadows of light that drilled into her sea of consciousness. She hurriedly held her breath and adjusted herself, then was shocked to discover that these shadows of light were giving her the method for using the blood vine.
“Yinfeng?”
Huixue noticed Mu Yinfeng’s abnormal state and stepped forward to call her.
The girl before her slowly turned around. Her black clothes snapped in the night wind. She held the blood vine in her hand, and its blood-red light was dangerous. Yet the expression on her face was calm, so calm it was like an ancient well.
“Transposition Word-Spirit.” Mu Yinfeng tightened her grip on the blood vine. Her voice was light, but her tone was certain and allowed no doubt. “What about using that method?”
“Jian Shu thinks carefully and has always been cautious. She is not that easy to trick. Transposition Word-Spirit…” Ruoying sounded somewhat opposed.
“She can do it,” Huixue interrupted. Although the change Mu Yinfeng had just brought made her feel a trace of unease, their current target was Jian Shu.
Right now, Mu Yinfeng’s aura faintly overlapped with what Huixue had seen in her previous life. Mu Yinfeng’s every move seemed extremely similar to the girl in White Snow Pagoda. Although what she held was not a pipa but a blood vine, the blood vine clearly had a stronger killing air than the pipa.
Huixue turned away and touched the small box in her robes. Her face changed drastically at once.
The Shadowless Net slowly closed toward the center. Pieces of fiery red lotus bloomed beneath Jian Shu’s feet. Even so, Jian Shu still could not break free from the Shadowless Net’s restraints. The primordial yin domain and Dreamlike Bubble domain from earlier had already absorbed part of her power, and Tianbing and the phoenix-head hairpins attacking together had also injured her quite badly. But what surprised her most was Mu Yinfeng.
She could tell that among these three, the one with the longest experience and highest cultivation was Ruoying, whose appearance was only that of a seven- or eight-year-old. But Mu Yinfeng played the role of the soul among them. In front of Mu Yinfeng, Jian Shu always had the feeling that her next prediction had been seen through.
Such a little girl was truly strange.
Jian Shu cultivated a primordial yang attribute skill, so her perception of primordial yin was clearer and stronger. Although falling into the ghost path had directly reversed her yin and yang, it still had not affected her judgment. Although this little girl had a primordial yin constitution, it was different from the primordial yin she had seen before. It seemed to be a kind of primordial yin that stood above all the primordial yin she had encountered.
As for this little girl’s specific attribute, that was another point Jian Shu was curious about. A single-attribute yin spiritual root did not qualify as primordial yin. Therefore, this little girl should have a chaos spiritual root. But the spiritual artifacts used by normal chaos spiritual roots were basically chaos attribute, with the five elements balanced, so spiritual energy could circulate smoothly in the body. Yet on this little girl’s wrist, she wore a bracelet that was clearly primordial yin wood. The aura released by the bracelet was very familiar, extremely similar to the silver-masked woman she had met fourteen years ago.
“You are Jian Shu?” That person laughed softly, flashed past, and blocked Jian Shu’s path. Her movement was so fast it greatly shocked Jian Shu.
Although Jian Shu had only just entered Heaven-grade Mao rank, she was still a proper Heaven-grade. No matter where she went, she could make cultivators flee at the sound of her name and give the major sects terrible headaches. But now, facing the woman before her, she discovered she had no chance of winning at all. She might not even be able to block a casual strike from this woman.
“What does that have to do with you?”
“Back then, in the Southern Domain, you wanted revenge, did you not?” The person pressed her mask. A pale hand reached out from the black robe. Her skin was smooth and clean, without any visible dirt, yet for some reason, Jian Shu felt this hand was covered in blood.
“It has nothing to do with you.” Jian Shu panicked and wanted to push the person away, but the person was as nimble as a snake. No matter where Jian Shu ran, she could perfectly predict Jian Shu’s direction and block the path she had to take.
“I only want to tell Miss Jian one thing. As for revenge, Miss Jian should still think carefully. With Miss Jian’s current strength, if Guiyuan Tower, Mirror Flower Hall, Hanyou Valley, Shuiyue Gate, and several other major sects joined forces, how many chances of victory does Miss Jian think she would have?” The person smiled without quite smiling and slowly laid out the pros and cons. “If Miss Jian throws her life away for nothing, I am afraid the Southern Domain’s Jian family will truly have no one left.”
“Are you mocking me? I can see that you are also a cultivator. Are you not here to remove me?”
The person laughed. Jian Shu did not know what she was laughing about, but somehow felt her laugh was bleak and cold, like the desperate song of a vengeful ghost echoing through an empty valley. “Of course not. I came to give Miss Jian an opportunity. I wonder whether Miss Jian is willing to accept it.”
“What opportunity?” Jian Shu felt that person did not seem to be lying to her and hurriedly asked.
“Fourteen years from now, a girl of primordial yin will appear. Go to the Xu family and wait. If you do not see that girl after fourteen years, I will give you all of my cultivation.” As the woman spoke, faint golden light gathered above her head. Jian Shu had never seen such a strange sight before, not even in the Jian family.
“Give me all of your cultivation?” Jian Shu was somewhat shocked. “You are so certain? With your strength, you…”
“I am primordial yin wood. Wood generates fire, so for you, I should be a decent choice. The cultivation I can raise for you will not be any worse than devouring a girl of primordial yin.” The woman spoke lightly and turned to leave. “After fourteen years, I will come here and tell you when to act.”
“What is your name?”
“Yimu.”
That was the last sentence the person left her. It clung to her heart like a ghost, making it hard for her to forget even after fourteen years.
What connection did this girl have with Yimu? Jian Shu thought. Suddenly, she sensed a familiar aura gradually approaching her. Jian Shu slowly withdrew the flames around her body and allowed the Shadowless Net to wrap around her.
“You came after all. Are you ready to obediently let me absorb you?” Jian Shu raised her eyes and looked at the girl standing outside the Shadowless Net. Now the blood vine in the girl’s hand had changed from bracelet to whip, held in a hand like white jade. It looked especially gorgeous and sorrowful.
“Of course not.” Mu Yinfeng tightened her grip on the blood vine. “Jian Shu, are you truly that confident in yourself?”
“You still dare act stubborn when death is before you. No wonder. This is your last chance to put on a brave front.” Jian Shu deliberately sighed with regret. Vermilion Bird true fire blazed around her body, and with her powerful cultivation, she forcefully burned the entire Shadowless Net to ash.
“It is still unknown who is putting on a brave front. Why reach such a conclusion?” Mu Yinfeng spoke slowly. “But I know one thing. You are going to die.”
“Kill me? You do not have that ability.”
“You cannot kill me. You cannot even injure me. Hahahahahahahahaha…” At that moment, Jian Shu’s laughter suddenly stopped, because she clearly saw faint golden light gathering above Mu Yinfeng’s head, giving off a holy, untouchable might, exactly like the woman from fourteen years ago.
For an instant, the two figures seemed to overlap. Jian Shu was so shocked she could not speak. Their figures almost overlapped, the same pale hand holding an extremely similar blood vine, the same golden light gathering above the head. In a daze, Jian Shu seemed to return to fourteen years ago, to that meeting from fourteen years before.
Jian Shu blurted out, “Who exactly are you?”
“Mu Yinfeng, third disciple of Hanyou Valley Master.” Mu Yinfeng calmly gave her name. “I wonder whether this answer satisfies Miss Jian?”
The Linglong Heart Method slowly circulated. Although Jian Shu’s mental power was far above hers, and she could not know all of Jian Shu’s mental activity, she could still feel Jian Shu’s shock and struggle.
To make the enemy afraid before fighting was the true way to overcome an enemy. Mu Yinfeng did not know what Jian Shu feared, but she knew very clearly that Jian Shu’s soul was trembling. The flames dancing around her body went out in an instant. Beneath the blazing red robe, the Heaven-grade evil being now looked like nothing more than an ordinary woman.
“I know all that!” Jian Shu could not suppress the fear in her heart and shouted, “Who are you really? What relationship do you have with her? What relationship do you have with Yimu?”
