Chapter 221 The Witch Returns to the Source
The change came suddenly, and the old man had no time to dodge, taking the full force of the blow.
The divine descendants who arrived shortly after looked at the man standing in front of Ye Qingshuang with serious expressions: "Master of the Witch Spirit, what are you doing?"
"puff"
During the standoff, a short sword pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.
"Lord of the Witch Spirits!"
The gods, who had initially been questioning, immediately changed their expressions to worry upon seeing this scene.
Bai Qingjue, Bai Jiu, and Lin Chengtian, who were nearby, also looked astonished.
This person blocked the attack from the Divine Descendant Elder for Ye Qingshuang, indicating that they knew each other, but... Ye Qingshuang's sword strike was merciless, suggesting that they had a grudge against each other.
Moreover, if it's so easy to poke in, it must be completely undefended, right?
Why wouldn't they take precautions even when they have a grudge? What kind of relationship do these two have?
The man looked down at the short sword protruding from his chest, grasped it, and pulled it outwards. Ye Qingshuang, who was still holding the hilt, was pulled by the force and bumped into the man's back. The hilt in her hand was forced through the wound and was now in the man's grasp.
The man turned around, his deep gaze falling on Ye Qingshuang's face, his tone smiling: "Huanling, it's been a long time."
Ye Qingshuang looked at the man, her eyes filled with tangible hatred: "Wu Huiyuan, how exactly do I need to kill you?"
Wu Huiyuan smiled: "Summoning spirits, you know that killing me will never hurt me, but your mouth can."
"Is that so?" Ye Qingshuang sneered, "Why don't you die?"
"Why don't you just die?"
“Not for now.” Wu Huiyuan replied with a smile, placing the short sword back into Ye Qingshuang’s hand. “Summoning Spirit, I have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”
After Wu Huiyuan finished speaking, he flew back to the group of divine descendants. As he left, the group of divine descendants clearly saw Ye Qingshuang's appearance.
The young progenitors were unaware of this, but the elders were.
Ye Huanling was once groomed by the Spirit Clan to be the next king, and was also one of the reasons why Wu Huiyuan was willing to cooperate with the Divine Descendants. The Divine Descendants must not harm Ye Huanling in the slightest whenever they see her.
The old man who had been struck by Wu Huiyuan's power said, "Miss Ye, I was very rude just now, please forgive me."
Ye Qingshuang did not respond to the old man, her eyes fixed on Wu Huiyuan.
Wu Huiyuan gave the order: "Go."
At a command, the two teams left without hesitation.
Only after the group had gone far away did Ye Qingshuang turn her gaze away and look down at the short sword in her hand.
The short sword was covered in Wu Huiyuan's blood.
Red blood...
She thought his blood, like his heart, had turned black.
Ye Qingshuang took out a small porcelain bottle and dripped all the blood from the short sword into it.
Seeing this, Baijiu asked curiously, "Qingshuang, what are you doing?"
Ye Qingshuang said, "Wu Huiyuan's heart's blood can save lives."
"Oh, I see..." Bai Jiu didn't expect that Ye Qing Shuang hated that person so much that she stabbed him and left his blood.
After collecting enough blood from the short sword, Ye Qingshuang washed it clean with water. Then, she knelt down beside Lin Chengtian, removed his bandages, and poured a little blood on each claw mark. As the blood fell onto the wounds, Lin Chengtian's injuries began to heal at a visible speed.
Baijiu exclaimed in surprise: "It works so well?"
Bai Qingjue: "After all, it is the Spirit Lord's heart's blood."
Lin Chengtian glanced at the wound, then looked up at Ye Qingshuang: "Ye Huanling?"
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingshuang said irritably, "Am I not allowed to have two names?"
"No," Lin Chengtian said, "I'm just curious how I should address you next?"
Ye Qingshuang looked at him and said, "Before we find Ling Yi, if you meet anyone else, call me Ye Huanling. This will prevent those divine descendants from attacking you."
"After finding Ling Yi, call out his previous name."
"Okay." Lin Chengtian put on his clothes one by one, and while tidying himself up, he casually asked, "What is your relationship with Wu Huiyuan?"
Ye Qingshuang said, "I am a member of the Spirit Clan, and he is the Spirit Lord. We are of the same race."
Lin Chengtian looked at her: "Is that all?"
Ye Qingshuang: "What else do you want?"
“If that were all, wouldn’t he have attacked you with a sword the moment you met?” Lin Chengtian said slowly. “Besides, he’s completely unguarded around you.”
"Whether or not he takes precautions is his own business." Ye Qingshuang stood up and looked down at Lin Chengtian: "You're not Ling Yi, so I won't tell you even if you ask me again."
Lin Chengtian didn't ask any more questions and got up from the ground: "Let's go."
Ye Qingshuang looked at Bai Qingjue: "Can you still confirm the location?"
Bai Qingjue shook her head: "It's already within range, but we can't pinpoint the exact location, so we can't use it anymore."
"Alright then." Ye Qingshuang thought for a moment: "Following those divine descendants, the places they go must be the most important places in the Sea God Kingdom, and Ling Yi and the others will definitely go there too."
The three had no objections and followed Ye Qingshuang's instructions, heading in the direction the divine descendant had gone.
Bai Qingjue and Bai Jiu walked a little behind, looking at Ye Qingshuang ahead, feeling something was off.
Ye Qingshuang was once groomed by the Spirit Clan to be the next king, while Wu Huiyuan... was her right-hand man and also her fiancé.
However, later, the Spirit Clan was in turmoil, and Wu Huiyuan became the Spirit Lord. Ye Huanling and Wu Huiyuan became sworn enemies after that, but later she gave up the fight and disappeared.
He simply disappeared like that. Only then did Wu Huiyuan leave the Spirit Clan and turn to the outside world to cooperate with the Divine Descendants. However, one of his demands was that the Divine Descendants must not harm Ye Huanling in the slightest.
Judging from the fact that Ye Huanling attacked Wu Huiyuan as soon as she saw him, Ye Huanling hated Wu Huiyuan very much. If that's the case, why would she give up fighting against Wu Huiyuan and appear by Ling Yi's side?
Ye Huanling and Tian Yan have both come to Ling Yi's side. What is so special about this Ling Yi?
Bai Qingjue developed a strong curiosity about Ling Yi.
Just as Bai Qingjue was thinking about something, Bai Jiu beside her said, "I wonder how Xinze and Xiao Jinhu are doing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang replied without turning her head, "With Little Golden Tiger around, everything should be fine."
Lin Chengtian didn't speak, and Baijiu and Ye Qingshuang started chatting.
Lin Xinze, the little golden tiger, became the topic of their conversation...
They met by the river to the east of the forest.
"Xinze, hurry up!" A group of little petal people followed behind Lin Xinze, cheering, "Little Golden Tiger, if you go faster, you'll catch up with the fish soon."
Whether you can eat to your heart's content or not depends on you!
"Go, Little Golden Tiger!"
Amid cheers, Little Golden Tiger darted out and dove into the water, blocking the path of the fish.
Seeing this, the little flower petals followed the people into the water and surrounded them from behind.
The fish were all caught in one net. Lin Xinze and Xiao Huaban dragged the fishing net ashore. Looking at the net full of fish, tears of sympathy involuntarily flowed from the corners of their mouths.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Yi had only cultivated here for three days, and his cultivation level had increased from the third level Spirit Venerable to the fifth level Spirit Venerable.
