"Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams?"
Mu Junsu's heart shook as she gazed at the nine diagrams that Yingqing spat out and floated in the air while emitting a faint silver light.
It was said that the Shadow Clan had two clan guarding treasures. Putting aside one of them, the other was the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams before her eyes.
However, the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams wasn't a killing type treasure. It didn't possess any offensive strength and couldn't harm anyone. It was a support type treasure.
But Mu Junsu wasn't too clear on the specifics of how it could be used. Because the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams was one of the clan guarding treasures of the Shadow Clan, its true function was naturally only known by the higher-ups of the Shadow Clan. It was impossible for it to be spread throughout the world and known by everyone.
Moreover, the Shadow Clan's Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams had never been used publicly in the outside world for countless years. Every time the Shadow Clan used it, it was extremely secretive and low-key. Thus, the outside world was utterly unable to discern its true function from its use.
However!
Mu Junsu had heard that the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams seemed to be able to be used to find people by relying on her spies in the Shadow Clan. Moreover, it possessed an important status. The Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams was even above the other killing type clan guarding treasure. It could be said to be the number one clan guarding treasure of the Shadow Clan.
Of course, this wasn't the reason why Mu Junsu's expression changed slightly. The true reason was that Yingqing had argued strongly with the higher-ups of the Shadow Clan in the Temple of Sky Shadow the day before yesterday and asked for the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams. It wasn't for her, but for Xiao Fan?
At that time, everyone thought that Yingqing had asked for the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams for her for some reason. In the end, that wasn't the case at all. In reality, it was Xiao Fan who instructed her to do so? Xiao Fan wanted the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams?
Then why did Xiao Fan want the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams? What was his objective?
Mu Junsu was bewildered as she gazed at Xiao Fan's back. She fell into a daze and was completely unable to understand all of this.
"You've worked hard!" Xiao Fan nodded as he glanced at the Nine Soul Suppression Diagrams floating in the air, and then he immediately put it away. At the same time, he spoke to Yingqing.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Yingqing wanted to say something, but she was unable to speak due to her violent coughing. She could only force out a smile.
"You rest first!" He turned his head and glanced at Sect Master Yan Yun, indicating for him to send someone to settle Ying Qing down. He then spoke softly to Ying Qing.
Ying Qing didn't say anything. Sect Master Yan Yun brought two female disciples who were ready to be dispatched at any time and helped Ying Qing up before finding a place to rest.
Soon, only Xiao Fan and the others were left at the peak of Swallow Cloud Mountain!
At this moment, the sky had finally brightened. In the distant sky, the armies of the various races in the Sky Shadow City were like dark clouds, approaching from afar with monstrous killing intent.
After one night, Xiao Fan had stabilized Ying Qing's injuries, and the various foreign races in Sky Shadow City had also temporarily stabilized the dissipation of their Divine Senses.
After their hands were free, the armies of the various races in Sky Shadow City mobilized almost all of their forces without any hesitation, charging towards Swallow Cloud Mountain to settle all of their grievances with Xiao Fan.
Looking at the rolling armies in the distance, as well as the countless people from Sky Shadow City who had rushed over after hearing the news, Xiao Fan's expression was calm as he sat there, quietly waiting for their arrival. For Xiao Fan, it was time for everything in Sky Shadow City to come to an end.
.....
However!
Just as the war in Sky Shadow City was about to break out, the Yan people on the other side of the Dark Domain were not calm either. A storm was brewing.
Yan people, Holy Yan City!
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
Countless Yan people in blood-red armor with cold expressions and oppressive auras were all around them. Their long spears emitting cold light were pointed at the center of the battlefield. The atmosphere in the air seemed to have frozen, and it was extremely oppressive!
In the battlefield, Snow Red and Xue Qingwei were covered in blood, which was a ghastly sight. They stood back to back, vigilantly looking at the Yan people soldiers around them. They were panting heavily, and their chests were heaving up and down. Their faces were full of deep exhaustion.
"Sister, I've implicated you!" Xue Qingwei said bitterly as she looked at the cruel Yan people soldiers who were like hungry wolves. "You should have escaped!"
Snow Red tilted her head slightly and looked at Xue Qingwei. She shook her head and said firmly, "We sisters must leave together. I will never leave you behind!"
"No, Big Sister, you should leave. With the treasure that Xiao Fan gave you, you should be able to leave by yourself!" Xue Qingwei's expression became increasingly bitter. She opened her mouth and said in an incomparably low voice, "If you insist on bringing me along, the treasure will slow down with one more person. At that time, none of us will be able to leave. You …!"
"I've said it before. I will never leave you behind!" Snow Red interrupted Xue Qingwei and said resolutely. There was no room for negotiation in her voice.
Xue Qingwei still wanted to say something. However, before she could say anything, she seemed to have sensed something and immediately stopped talking. Then, she looked sharply at the sky in front of her. However, a thin layer of cold sweat immediately seeped out from her pure white forehead.
Snow Red, who was back to back, was the same. Although her gaze was sharp, her breathing was rapid. Her hand involuntarily tightened around the Sky Heart Sword. Her palm was covered in an imperceptible layer of cold sweat.
In the sky in front of them!
A young man with flames dancing around his body appeared. This young man looked incomparably handsome. His figure was tall and straight, and he was in high spirits. His aura was oppressive, and his eyes looked down on everything. As he walked over, an extremely powerful pressure spread out from his body.
The Blood Qi that radiated from his body seemed to have been incinerated by a raging fire, boiling endlessly. Just by approaching him slightly, one would feel their mouth and tongue dry, as if their entire body was about to be burned dry. It was incomparably uncomfortable.
Yan Juekong!
He was one of the most dazzling and resplendent heaven's prides among the younger generation of the Dark Domain. He was as famous as the Sanguinism of the Blood Clan, Lei Huang of the Lei people, Fundōkō of the Wind people, Goddess Ling Luo of the Water Spirit Clan, and Zi Chenxiao of the Heavenly Horse Clan.
"Greetings to the Young Clan Leader!"
As soon as Yan Juekong appeared, all the Yan people's soldiers below knelt on one knee in unison. The armor on their bodies collided with each other, emitting extremely crisp sounds. Then, they opened their mouths and said in an extremely powerful voice.
"Rise!"
Yan Juekong's gaze seemed to materialize as he stared at Snow Red and Xue Qingwei. Then, he calmly said to all the Yan people's soldiers.
"Yes!"
All the Yan people's soldiers received the order. Then, they stood up in unison as if they were one person. The coldness and killing intent from their bodies once again spread in all directions as they stared unblinkingly at Snow Red and Xue Qingwei.
"Yan Juekong!"
Xue Qingwei's gaze towards Yan Juekong was filled with enmity, but at the same time, there was also an unconcealable fear. She tried to speak in a calm voice, but it was impossible for her to truly be calm. She could only speak with great difficulty.
"Xue Qingwei, it's better for you to surrender without putting up a fight!" Looking down at Snow Red and Xue Qingwei, there was no trace of pity in Yan Juekong's pair of light red eyes. There was only indifference. Then, he indifferently said, "Because your and your sister Snow Red's resistance is futile. The end result will be the same. Therefore, rather than suffer this punishment, it's better for you to give up your resistance!"
Xue Qingwei stared at Yan Juekong. Her voice suddenly became hoarse as she said, "Yan Juekong, unless I die, as long as I can move, I will definitely not be manipulated by you Yan people!"
"You're simply … stubborn!" Yan Juekong shook his head and said. His eyes were filled with indifference and ruthlessness. Then, his gaze moved away from Xue Qingwei, who had lost interest, and looked towards Snow Red.
However, at this moment, Xue Qingwei suddenly opened her mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Yan Juekong, is there a decree from my master in this matter?"
"Of course there is!" Yan Juekong looked at Snow Red and said indifferently. His voice was like a huge boulder that heavily smashed into Xue Qingwei's heart. "It can be said that the cause of this entire matter is that your master accidentally discovered that you meet the requirements of the Yan people. Then, she used you as a bargaining chip and took the initiative to make a deal with the Yan people!"
"Otherwise, why do you think that the two of us who have never met before and do not know each other and have no feelings for each other would be engaged?"
Hearing Yan Juekong's words, Xue Qingwei immediately lowered her head. Her body trembled incessantly. Suddenly, her heart was like dead ashes.
Ever since Xue Qingwei had become Elder Qianhua's disciple, she had always been extremely respectful towards Elder Qianhua. Because her and her sister Snow Red's parents had passed away a long time ago, Xue Qingwei had also been treated as her own parents by Elder Qianhua in her heart.
Now that the truth had surfaced, it was incomparably cruel and could only cause one to feel despair.
In addition, if one thought about it carefully, it actually made sense. The matter of her and Yan Juekong's engagement was originally filled with many strange things and was extremely illogical.
Because back then, the Yan people had suddenly proposed the engagement without any warning. Before this, let alone being on good terms with the Yan people, she had never had any contact with the Yan people.
Now, everything had come to light. The engagement was actually a trap from start to finish.
And this was the true and logical truth of everything.
"Also, Xue Qingwei, actually, I also have to thank you here!" At this time, Yan Juekong opened his mouth again. However, he no longer looked at Xue Qingwei. Instead, he stared intently at Snow Red. In his indifferent voice, there was actually a trace of a smile. "Because although you fit the criteria, you didn't fit it 100%. It's just that our Yan people couldn't find anyone for a long time, so we could only agree to the deal with your master, Elder Qianhua, and then replace you, who barely fit the criteria, with you!"
"Now, thanks to you, our Yan people have finally found someone who fits the criteria 100%. And this person is your sister, Snow Red!"
"Therefore, Xue Qingwei, if you can make your sister surrender now, I will immediately let you go and return your freedom. I can even give you enough cultivation resources. You can choose any of our Yan people's top cultivation methods and precious treasures!"
