Chapter 397 Why don’t I have it?
I clearly drew my sword against her before, so logically she should hate me.
Why should we rescue them?
And judging from her personality, she doesn't seem to be a kind-hearted person.
"She...will be okay?"
At this time, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ask in a low voice. She also saw Leng Hanyue vomiting blood and being injured.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
Elder Lei slowly opened his eyes, his voice a little weak, but his tone was firm: "The core disciples of the Dao Sect all have means to protect their lives. Not to mention blocking five breaths, if they encounter life-threatening situations, they may even be able to fight back."
"Ah? Why?" Zhao Xiruo asked curiously.
You have to know that that is the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the current ceiling of the cultivation world.
It would not be difficult for her and Yun Chen to cooperate to stop Wu Qi, but to kill him in return... Although she believed in Yun Chen, she also felt that it was impossible.
Elder Lei explained, "The disciples of each major sect are the future of the Dao. When they become disciples, they are given something to protect their lives..."
As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Xiruo and said, "For example, the Thunder Lotus Heart Protecting Jade that the Sect Leader gave you back then was a means of saving your life."
"But can't the Thunder Lotus Heart Jade only withstand attacks from cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage?" Zhao Xiruo asked, seemingly understanding.
Elder Lei rolled his eyes. "Your strength is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as you don't provoke me, a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't bother to attack a Foundation Establishment cultivator. What's more... the Sect Master never expected you to leave the sect before breaking through to the Golden Core stage."
"Oh!" Zhao Xiruo stuck out her tongue and nodded weakly.
Elder Lei looked at her and smiled helplessly: "You are too weak. Even if I give you a very powerful life-saving method, you won't be able to activate it."
"So, the other core disciples have ways to save their lives?" Zhao Xiruo blinked.
Elder Lei nodded and said, "Any core disciple in the sect who has reached the Golden Core stage or above has the means to resist the Nascent Soul stage, and some even have the cards to kill the Nascent Soul stage. Otherwise, what do you think is the difference between the Dao Sect and those ordinary sects?"
Having said that, Elder Lei smiled proudly with a smug look on his face.
Yun Chen, who was standing by, couldn't help but look dark when he heard this.
"What about me? Why don't I have any?"
Elder Lei's face suddenly fell when he heard Yun Chen's question. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This... maybe the Sect Master forgot?"
"forget?"
Yun Chen's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches, and a thousand ponies were galloping through his heart.
Can you forget something like this?
After all, I am the master's direct disciple, okay?
When he became Zhao Xiruo's apprentice, the treatment he received was very different, so he just endured it.
But other direct disciples have it, why doesn’t he have it?
If he didn't have so many cards up his sleeve, he would have died when facing those three Nascent Soul monsters.
"Ahem! Well... actually, the Sect Leader has already prepared something for you."
"You are his personal disciple! The reason she didn't give you the usual life-saving items is because she prepared something better for you!"
"Better?" Yun Chen raised his eyebrows doubtfully.
"That's right!"
Elder Lei stroked his beard, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "Think about it, you're a genius who can invoke the Nine Thunders. Ordinary talismans and thunder seals are no match for your talent. The Sect Master wants to tailor a protective treasure for you that perfectly complements your innate cultivation method!"
He paused and continued, "It's just that refining a treasure like this is extremely complicated. It requires gathering several rare natural treasures and finding a suitable master refiner, which takes a long time. The Sect Master has already ordered people to secretly collect the materials, but I didn't expect you to leave the sect so soon, so I didn't have time to give it to you."
Yun Chen looked at Elder Lei's confident expression, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.
"Really? Did I misunderstand?"
"You kid, I am the elder of our Shenlei Palace, how can I lie to you?" Elder Lei immediately spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
Yun Chen said nothing after hearing this, and nodded: "Alright, I'll go back and ask Master. If you lie to me... then I will take Ruoruo away from the Divine Thunder Palace. Anyway, if you can't stay here, I'll find other places to stay."
"Hey? Is this the only trick you two know?" Elder Lei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Zhao Xiruo blushed slightly when she heard this, and whispered softly: "We call this the husband singing and the wife following..."
Elder Lei: ...
Yun Chen didn't dwell on this anymore. He looked into the distance, his expression suddenly calming as he spoke, "By the way, Elder Lei, why did Leng Hanyue save us? She could have just stood by and watched."
Elder Lei dropped his joking expression upon hearing this and pondered for a moment, "This matter is indeed strange. Chaoyin Pavilion has always been aloof and self-respecting, rarely interfering in the feuds of other sects. Moreover, we have no friendship with them."
He paused, a gleam in his eyes. "Unless... they have also noticed the abnormality of the Burial Dragon Abyss, or in other words, the 'holy sacrifice' of the Japanese Ghost Cultivation Sect has also threatened their interests?"
"Is that so?" Yun Chen's eyes flickered and his gaze was deep.
"Besides this, I can't figure out why that girl would help us and even use her trump card."
Elder Lei frowned in thought, then spoke after a moment's hesitation.
Yun Chen: ...
.........
At the same time, in a hidden cave dozens of miles away.
Leng Hanyue sat cross-legged, her face as pale as paper, and the bloodstains on her moon-white dress had solidified into a dark red.
She practiced her skills, with a chilly air surrounding her body. She was trying her best to suppress the surging blood and energy in her body and the power that was almost out of control.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, and a trace of fatigue and fear flashed in the depths of her cold eyes.
"Forcibly activating the Ice Soul Sacred Body's source of power is still too much of a stretch..."
She whispered to herself, "If it weren't for the Confucian talisman that Master left me, which activated at the critical moment, I would have really died at the hands of that Japanese."
She spread out her palm, and saw that the jade pendant, which was originally warm and translucent, was now covered with fine cracks and its spiritual light was dim. It was obvious that the Confucian spirit contained in it had just been exhausted.
Recalling the majestic and righteous aura that appeared at the critical moment, she felt a little distressed.
That was a talisman refined by a second-rank Confucian scholar... It was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
I didn't expect it to be wasted on a Japanese...
"The most urgent task is to recover from my injuries as soon as possible and report the conspiracy of the Japanese Shadow Snake Group back to the Pavilion. Otherwise... the Great Xia Cultivation Realm will be finished."
Leng Hanyue gritted her teeth, suppressed the surging blood and energy in her body, and the wave of weakness coming from the origin of the Ice Soul Holy Body, and took out an ice-blue jade talisman for communication.
However, just when her consciousness was about to sink into the jade talisman——!
"laugh!"
A slight sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a thin needle as black as ink, emitting a cold and ghostly aura, penetrated the simple warning restriction she had set up without warning and went straight to the center of her eyebrows.
