The galaxy fell silent at that instant. Su Ming stared at the four cultivators, and the four cultivators stared back at them. None of them spoke. After some time, Xu Hui's dry cough broke the silence in the area, and it also allowed the four cultivators to recover from their shock.
They were not shocked by Su Ming's arrival. After all, this was within their expectations. In fact, they were already mentally prepared for it. What shocked them was the bald crane.
The ferocious beast that they had worshiped slightly and dreamed of subduing when they became strong in the future … already had a master. They did not know the bald crane's exact level of cultivation. Even if they looked at it with their eyes and sensed it with their minds, they could not tell that it was very strong. However, there was the concept of concealment and sealing in the world, and they believed that the crane that had lured one million beasts into a frenzy was definitely not an ordinary person.
At that moment, as their hearts trembled and Xu Hui's dry coughs reverberated in the air, the four cultivators instinctively retreated. The cultivator called Xuan Shang only took three steps back before he forced himself to stop. He knew that he could not escape, and he could not even summon the thought to attack. Even if the four of them had their own trump cards … Su Ming alone was enough to make them break down, much less the bald crane.
In fact, the grinning expression of the woman beside Su Ming gave him goosebumps.
Xuan Shang was not the only one who was smart among the four cultivators. The person called Hua Yu also snapped out of his daze after retreating a hundred something feet. When he saw that Su Ming and the others were not chasing after him, he stopped moving in his anxiety and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow to them.
As for Yun You and Nian Yin, they were clearly a little slower in their reactions. By then, they had already fled a thousand feet away. Just as they were about to charge forward with their blood escape, ripples suddenly shone in the space before them, and Xu Hui walked out.
She still had a grin on her face, but there was a murderous look in her eyes. She was slightly angry. After all, the four of them had fled after she let out a dry cough.
"Why are you leaving when you see me?" At the same time Xu Hui took a step forward, she lifted her right hand and swung it forward. With it, the shadow of a moon appeared in front of her. When it appeared, Yun You and Nian Yin's expressions instantly changed.
"Lunar Kalpa Realm!"
The two of them immediately scattered and went in two different directions. The cultivator named Yun You noticed that two of his companions had given up on escaping, so he stopped with a wry smile.
Only Nian Yin continued to move at full speed. He even coughed out blood to form the Blood Escape, and his speed suddenly increased. However, before he could escape more than 10,000 feet, he was pulled out of the blood shadow and coughed out blood once more. Strangely, there was nothing strange about his body, but his body was pushed back as if he had hit an invisible barrier and was bounced back.
As he flew backwards, his hair seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and pulled back rapidly.
When they arrived in front of the Void Beast where Su Ming was, the cultivator called Nian Yin was flung to the ground. Most of his hair was torn off, and blood flowed down his cheeks. His expression was filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at Xu Hui, who had walked out of the space beside him.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?" She lifted her right hand and pointed at Nian Yin's body through the air. As she did so, a red and white aura surrounded her. At the instant it touched Nian Yin's body, the red aura fused into his chest, while the white aura dissipated into his throat and lower body.
As the expressions of the other three cultivators changed drastically and they cried out in shock, they immediately saw the cultivator called Nian Yin's originally flat chest … swell up!
His Adam's apple shrank before their eyes until it disappeared. His rough skin became fair in the blink of an eye, and his index fingers became smooth and soft. All of these changes in his body showed that … the Yin and Yang in this person's body had been reversed, and he had turned … into a woman!
Nian Yin was momentarily stunned before he let out a shrill scream of pain. Even his scream had a shrill quality to it, and it was no longer as sonorous as a man's. Instead, it had turned into the feminine voice of a woman.
It was especially so for his buttocks. They had clearly grown larger, and even the lines of his body had started bending. All of this brought indescribable shock and terror to the remaining three cultivators. Even Su Ming's eyelids twitched when he saw this. His heart raced a few times, and when he looked at Xu Hui, a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.
The bald crane also widened its eyes. This scene caused its body to shudder. The Abyss Dragon by its side also instinctively moved back, and its gaze when it looked at Xu Hui was filled with fear.
"I can be killed, but not humiliated!" Nian Yin's expression was bitter. He knew all the changes in his body the best. At that moment, the complicated feelings in his heart could no longer be described with words. There was also a wave of grief and indignation in his heart, and he roared at Xu Hui.
Su Ming frowned as well. He could kill a person without hesitation … but humiliating them like this was something he could not do. Just as he was about to speak, the cultivator whose body features had been changed roared again.
"I have no enmity with you. We just ran into each other by chance, and you're already doing this? Aren't you afraid of heaven's wrath and retribution?! Come on, if you want to kill me, then kill me! "
Xu Hui chuckled softly.
"You seem to have a point. When my husband first met you, he didn't touch any of you. It's normal for you to want to escape with your secrets, but if you can't escape, then it means that you aren't strong enough and were caught." My husband doesn't intend to punish you too much. He just wants to ask you a few questions. "If you're straightforward, then that's fine. With my understanding of him, you can split the spoils equally.
"Besides, with your levels of cultivation, it's not enough for you to dig out any secrets in Divine Essence Star Ocean. If my husband joins you, your chances of success will increase by several fold. What's so bad about that?
"But I just let out a fake cough, and you ran. You can't escape, right? Why are you acting so indignant here? "Xu Hui said with a smile.
Xuan Shang and the other two fell silent. A contemplative look appeared on their faces. To them, Xu Hui's words did not sound domineering, and the truth was indeed as she said. The three of them could not help but sink into contemplation.
However, Nian Yin, whose physical features had been changed, was feeling incredibly confused at that moment. He could not hear her at all. He let out a cold harrumph, but almost at the moment he did so, Xu Hui's next sentence immediately caused his expression to change drastically.
"The Art you practice should be the Great Wheel of Time Art. I noticed this just now. By the looks of it, your surname is Nian, and you come from True Morning Dao World.
"Let me think. The Nian Hua Tribe in True Morning Dao World was created by a sect that had split from the Immortals in the past. Three thousand something years ago, there was a tribe member who killed his own kind. Once he was captured, his power was destroyed, and he was sent to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence as punishment. That person was you, right?
"But you still have your power. Looks like the Nian Hua Tribe is behind your operation this time."
"Who are you?!" When Nian Yin's expression changed, the pupils of Xuan Shang and the other two cultivators shrank, and they looked towards Xu Hui.
"Me? My name is Xu Hui, and I come from Phoenix Sect. "Xu Hui smiled faintly and looked at Su Ming, who was frowning, making it clear that he was slightly displeased.
"Phoenix Sect! Xu Hui … you're the Sacred Lady of Phoenix Sect! " Nian Yin was momentarily stunned. His arrogance instantly crumbled, and he became dispirited. In anguish, he gave up on all forms of resistance. In fact, based on the change in his expression, it was clear that he was filled with terror and dread towards Phoenix Sect.
"That's right, I am Phoenix Sect, which is secretly known as Yin Sect by all the cultivators in True Morning Dao World, and I am also one of the two women you call the Scorpion Woman, Scorpion Woman Xu Hui," Xu Hui said with a grin. This was the first time Su Ming learned of this, and when he heard it, he was momentarily stunned. These things did not exist even in Dao Kong's memories. Perhaps this was related to Dao Kong's status and experiences.
In fact, Su Ming had always been slightly puzzled as to why Dao Kong had so few memories. After all, the more memories a living being had, the more difficult it was for them to Possess them, and Dao Kong's memories were just the basics.
Scorpion Woman Xu Hui was a metaphor the cultivators of True Morning Dao World used to refer to the two Sacred Ladies of Phoenix Sect. Based on this metaphor, it could be seen that there was a reason why Phoenix Sect was known as Yin Sect in private.
Su Ming fell silent. He suddenly understood why Xu Hui did things without any qualms. The fact that she had such a great reputation in the outside world was definitely related to her actions in True Morning Dao World.
Scorpions were poisonous, but the poison was not in their mouths or claws, but in their tails. They were very fast and small, which meant that they would not attract too much attention. However, during critical moments, if anyone was careless, they would be poisoned to death. This was the terrifying aspect of scorpions.
As for snakes, they were skilled in hiding and waiting. Usually, they hid their poisonous fangs in their mouths and would not easily reveal them. However, when they did, they would be filled with killing intent. This metaphor connected Su Ming's bitter first love to another woman in his memories.
He had known since a long time ago that there were two Sacred Ladies of Phoenix Sect. One of them was Xu Hui, and the other … was the Snake Woman Bai Ling. This was something that existed in Dao Kong's memories.
In fact, Su Ming also knew that there was a high possibility that Xu Hui had known his name a long time ago. It did not matter whether Bai Ling had told him personally or whether she had investigated him in secret, but it was clear that there was a high possibility that she knew about him.
That was why Xu Hui had been able to say that he was thinking about a woman when he was in Ninth Tribe's mountain. It was also because of this sentence that he had entered a dream that no cultivator could dream about, but had appeared in it.
It was also at that time that Su Ming learned that he was fixated on the promise and not Bai Ling. He had also broken the knot in his heart and moved past the change of heart.
Su Ming would not believe that all of this was a coincidence, but no matter what, he could tell that Xu Hui's actions were mostly out of kindness, which was why Su Ming had never pointed it out.
