Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Behind the Penglai Palace, Flowers are as Brocade_1

Qian Xiao definitely couldn’t guess.

But he knew this little girl was no ordinary person. To appear before him so silently, she had to be a Cultivator! And a powerful one at that.

Qian Xiao’s expression gradually grew solemn. He clenched his fist and said in a heavy voice, "I, Qian Xiao, am a top dog in East Sea City, a key member of the Empress Alliance. If you’re looking for a fight, you’ve picked the wrong person."

"I haven’t picked the wrong person. It’s you," the little girl’s smile grew even wider.

But that radiant smile only made her pale complexion seem more bizarre. It wasn’t the white of normal skin; she looked as if she had just crawled out of a coffin.

Qian Xiao’s small face looked grave. Before meeting Xu Yiyi, he had acted like a tyrant and was known as the Scourge of East Sea, but he had never bullied a girl. A man. If he were to hit a woman, could he still be called a man?

But Qian Xiao wasn’t so old-fashioned that he would remain indifferent when someone was provoking him so blatantly. He said, "If I punch you, you might cry for a long time."

"It’s been so many years since anyone dared to speak to me like this. I’m actually quite looking forward to it." The little girl licked her crimson lips, revealing a charm and seductiveness that didn’t suit her age. Her gaze on Qian Xiao gleamed, as if she were eagerly awaiting his move.

Qian Xiao no longer hesitated and threw his punch. The blow made the air explode!

He didn’t hold back in the slightest, striking the little girl heavily on the chest. The expected scene of her spitting blood and flying backward never happened.

Qian Xiao’s eyes widened in shock. The girl in his sight had taken his punch without budging an inch.

"Is that it?" the little girl sounded somewhat disappointed.

Then Qian Xiao realized he couldn’t move. An inexplicable fear wrapped around his heart, and his legs felt as if they were filled with lead. The suffocating feeling was like being strangled, like slowly sinking into a lightless well while the killer watched from above with a grotesque smile.

Despair crept into Qian Xiao’s heart. He stammered, "Who... who are you?"

"We’re good friends. Have you forgotten?"

"My name is Yun Jin."

BOOM!

It felt like Qian Xiao’s head had just exploded. He stammered, "You’re Yun... Yun..."

"Jin," the little girl finished the word he couldn’t say.

Qian Xiao didn’t know where he found the strength, but he suddenly broke free from the girl’s Boundary suppression, grabbed her arm, and began forcefully dragging her toward the subway entrance.

This action left the little girl completely stunned. This Golden Core Stage kid... he broke free?

"Do you know that Big Sister cried for hours?!" Qian Xiao roared at her. "Where did you go? You made her so worried!"

The pale-faced little girl didn’t know what to say. Is this boy genuinely foolish, or is he just pretending? Hmm. Now I remember. When someone enters the Bronze Coffin, all traces of them are erased from this world. So why does someone still remember this new body of mine?

The little girl tilted her head, no longer pondering the question. Having lost interest in teasing Qian Xiao, she lifted him and vanished from the subway. Although it had been an eternity since she had breathed fresh air, she now had more important things to do. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

「Dragon Vein of Mount Fu.」

Ever since this place became a Dragon Vein, the property prices in the Mount Fu District of East Sea City had skyrocketed, increasing nearly tenfold. This made ordinary people constantly curse the deceitful real estate developers. Most of the residents were Martial Artists from all over the country. Cultivation is much easier in a place abundant with Spiritual Energy.

At that moment, the Martial Artists gathered at the foot of the Dragon Vein didn’t notice a small figure pass by them.

Qian Xiao, carried in the little girl’s hand like a rag doll, saw familiar figures among the Martial Artists.

Su Daiyi.

Old Jiang Ba!

The two of them were practicing the cultivation techniques Xu Lai had once given them. Qian Xiao kept whimpering, trying to get their attention, but it was destined to be in vain.

"Stop shouting," the little girl said, her earlier smile gone and her face expressionless. "No one can hear you, and no one can see you."

"You’re not Yun Jin! Who are you?!"

Qian Xiao hadn’t yet awakened any memories concerning Yun Jin. But he knew that the good friend Big Sister cared so much about would never be like this.

"My name?" The little girl walked step-by-step toward the mountain peak. The coldness faded from her face, leaving behind a look of bewilderment that soon gave way to self-mockery. "I forgot my name a long time ago."

"But now, my name is Yun Jin. The ’Yun’ as in ’clouds aspire to be her clothes,’ and the ’Jin’ as in ’flowers like brocade behind Penglai Hall.’"

The little girl stopped at the mountaintop, her head lowered as if looking at something. She threw Qian Xiao to the ground. Then, with a wave of her hand, a massive, crimson candle appeared out of thin air.

Imprisoned within the flickering flame was a soul. It was the Faceless Demon.

She was once sealed beneath the Spirit Vein of Harbour City and had made a deal with Jing Ke. Later, Xu Lai used Soul Lighting to imprison her within the candle beneath the Dragon Vein of Mount Fu.

In the center of the candlelight, the Faceless Demon’s face flickered with ferocity and pain, as well as deep despair and resentment. She was constantly being burned by the flame, endlessly cycling between life and death while remaining perfectly conscious.

At that moment, the Faceless Demon’s once-beautiful face registered shock. She saw the strange little girl outside the flame, and a peculiar feeling surged through her. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her. This familiarity made her grow excited.

The Jade Pendant!

Jing Ke had once given her a life-saving Jade Pendant, saying it could save her in times of danger. She had goaded Xu Lai into crushing it. A pale hand had then appeared and battled fiercely with Xu Lai. But in the end, it was defeated.

Far from being rescued, she was instead imprisoned in the Soul Candle, tortured incessantly.

"You’ve finally come to rescue me!" The Faceless Demon, now only a soul, shed two streams of tears. She was overjoyed, ecstatic to finally escape this hell.

"I’ve brought you a body."

The little girl kicked Qian Xiao. The gigantic Soul Candle cracked and crumbled as the Faceless Demon howled to the sky.

"I’m free!"

The Faceless Demon turned into a streak of light and shot toward Qian Xiao’s brow, intending to possess the Golden Core body.

"AHHHH!"

Qian Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness erupted in agony as a woman’s soul fought him for control of his body.

"Help me!" the Faceless Demon’s voice was urgent. Her soul was severely damaged; she was no match for Qian Xiao at his peak. Without help, she would be completely refined in at most four hours. Conversely, with help, she was confident she could refine Qian Xiao instead.

The little girl said nothing. She couldn’t help, even though this pawn was a crucial move for Ah Qiao.

Because someone had arrived.

A young man in white, his hands clasped behind his back, now stood before her.

The moment he appeared, the Faceless Demon, still fighting for control inside Qian Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness, let out a piercing scream. It was that Devil, Xu Lai.

He was here.
