Chapter 576 - 236: My Body Has Become the Vessel for My Wife’s Master
"What?!"
"The ghost was dealt with by you?"
Upon hearing Qin Gengyun’s voice coming from the forest, Su Xin and the others were stunned.
Just now, summer snow flew, an abnormal phenomenon descended from the sky, freezing the entire forest in extreme cold.
This ghost’s eerie power was not something ordinary Golden Core or even Nascent Soul cultivators could resist.
Was it resolved so easily by Qin Gengyun and a few others?
Cheng Qingyu whispered to Su Xin, "Senior Sister, there’s likely deception involved. We should go in and take a look."
Su Xin pondered for a moment and then addressed Qin Gengyun in the forest, "Junior Brother He, how did you subdue this ghost?"
Inside, Qin Gengyun’s calm voice continued:
"This ghost indeed survives by absorbing the Yang Qi of men. It had absorbed the Yang Qi of several fellow cultivators in recent days and was quite saturated. However, it lacked intelligence and was insatiable. It forcibly absorbed my Yang Qi, causing its body to burst apart, disappearing completely."
"You made it burst?"
The others exchanged looks, baffled.
Cheng Qingyu let out a cold snort, "Junior Brother He, are you suggesting that your Yang Qi alone surpasses that of several other junior brothers combined?"
Qin Gengyun’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm, "If Senior Sister Cheng doesn’t believe me, feel free to transform into a ghost and come experience for yourself."
"You!" Cheng Qingyu was furious and wanted to charge in, but upon seeing the large hammer resting on Su Hongling’s shoulder, he could only turn to Su Xin and say:
"Senior Sister Su, it seems Junior Brother He has some unspeakable reasons. We as senior brother and sister should go in and check to be sure."
Su Xin was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Junior Brother He, are there any remains of the ghost?"
"Yes, Senior Sister, please have a look."
Soon, a wisp of vague fragments floated out from the forest, infused with an extremely cold aura, exactly resembling that of the residual soul.
It appeared to be a part of the residual soul, but now the residual soul had vanished, and this wisp of fragment soon completely dispersed after appearing.
Zhang Zheng showed a look of joy, "This evil being has really been eradicated! Well done, Junior Brother He!"
He Zhiqiu was from Divinity Transformation Peak, and Zhang Zheng was the Deputy Peak Master there, so naturally, he had to speak in favor of his own people.
Jian Yue’s cool face revealed a smile, "In that case, we can be at ease."
Cheng Qingyu said, "How could such a formidable evil entity be eradicated by merely a Golden Core Realm disciple? There must be trickery involved!"
From the forest came Qin Gengyun’s teasing voice, "Senior Sister Cheng, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator and yet you were effortlessly flung about by me, a mere Golden Core Realm?"
"You, you..."
Cheng Qingyu’s face turned livid, yet she was speechless.
"Junior Sister Cheng." Su Xin stopped her from speaking further and asked toward the forest:
"Junior Brother He, are you injured? Do you need our help?"
"Thank you, Senior Sister, we are fine." Qin Gengyun replied quickly.
"If that’s the case, we will head back and discuss any matters tomorrow." Su Xin said.
"Senior Sister!" Cheng Qingyu still wanted to speak, but Su Xin had already started to leave.
Jian Yue took one last look at the still chilling, deep forest, her eyes flickering, and then turned to leave as well.
Wei Wan remained silent for a moment and then followed behind the two.
Chun Ningzhi wanted to say something but, seeing Junior Sister Xiyue leaving, quickly followed suit.
Cheng Qingyu, seeing the Commanding Disciples depart, glanced at Su Hongling, who remained guarding the forest, with a flash of resentment in her eyes, and finally followed the others.
Chun Ningzhi’s expression was ugly, and Zhang Zheng, beside him, asked, "Junior Brother Chun, the danger of the evil being has been resolved. Why do you still seem so worried?"
Chun Ningzhi let out a long sigh, looking at Ye Xiyue flying ahead, "That Junior Brother He was able to blow up such an evil being; his Yang Qi is indeed... beyond my measure."
In the forest.
Little Hammer descended to the ground, and Qin Gengyun gratefully said to her:
"Little Hammer, thank you!"
Little Hammer pouted, "I wasn’t helping you. I just want to have a good fight with your wife. Hurry and heal her; I can’t wait any longer!"
Qin Gengyun smiled wryly, "Little Hammer, my wife is too exhausted, and she won’t be able to duel for a while."
At that moment, Qiu Zhihe had already fainted, carried horizontally in his arms.
Even the form of Ruo Mei could no longer be sustained, reverting back to Qiu Zhihe’s appearance.
Mo Xiaolan was also unconscious, with several burns on her body, currently being held by Liu Su.
This battle with the residual soul of Nalan Yan was extremely perilous.
Even with the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame within Qin Gengyun, he could only barely withstand the extreme cold from the residual soul for a short time.
Qiu Zhihe also discovered this and, despite being injured, forced her way through the body-fixing technique of the residual soul to resist alongside Qin Gengyun.
The couple’s cultivation, paired with the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame, managed to match the extreme cold in Nalan Yan’s residual soul.
But if the stalemate continued, Nalan Yan’s residual soul would dissipate, and their foundations would be damaged, leading to mutual destruction.
Fortunately, Mo Xiaolan intervened in time, breaking this extremely dangerous deadlock.
With the help of the two women, most of the extreme cold in Nalan Yan’s residual soul was dissolved by Qin Gengyun using the Divine Phoenix Separation Flame.
Having lost the Yin Power of the residual soul, Nalan Yan could no longer leave Qin Gengyun’s body.
Otherwise, she would immediately disintegrate into nothingness.
Qiu Zhihe and Mo Xiaolan also exhausted their spiritual power, both falling unconscious.
Before collapsing, Qiu Zhihe tightly grasped Qin Gengyun’s hand, pleading:
"Husband, don’t let my master dissipate."
With such a plea from his wife, he certainly wouldn’t force Nalan Yan, who no longer had any resistance, out of his body.
At present, he could only temporarily harbor Nalan Yan’s residual soul inside, waiting for his wife to awaken and find a solution.
His body becoming the "vessel" for the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sect, his wife’s master, was truly a peculiar feeling.
Qin Gengyun held his wife, noticing her pale little face and blood at the corners of her mouth.
Mo Xiaolan, in Liu Su’s arms, was in the same state, with several severe burns on her body.
Qin Gengyun looked pale, heart heavy with guilt.
This time, he had been too careless.
Liu Su comforted him, "Master, it’s not your fault. If not for you offering yourself as bait, how would we have known the residual soul was actually the Sect Leader Nalan? If she were caught by the Zhenyang Sect, that would have been disastrous!"
"You truly helped the young lady!"
Qin Gengyun sighed. Fortunately, Qiu Zhihe and Mo Xiaolan only needed to rest for a while to recover from their excessive exhaustion.
But Mo Xiaolan’s burns from the Divine Phoenix Flame needed immediate treatment. Otherwise, not only would they leave scars, but her foundation could be injured.
Qin Gengyun looked at Liu Su, who hesitated, "Master, you mean the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique? But with Sister Xiaolan’s personality, she likely wouldn’t want us to heal her in that manner."
Qin Gengyun fell silent, knowing well Mo Xiaolan’s disposition.
Brave enough to put herself at risk for him and steadfast in her principles, knowing he already had a wife, she wouldn’t ever cross the line with him.
If the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique were really used, and the three bathed together, Mo Xiaolan might never see him again after waking up.
