#660 - You own her, she owns you
Lanlan was very fast, and with the Swift Travel Talisman, she rushed out of the city in an instant.
In the ruins where Ji Yinlan was trapped, the ten-odd half-sage experts of the Han clan regained their freedom from the Absolute Slowness, but they were no longer the same as before.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their bodies were covered with blood-red hair, and their fingernails were half a foot long, shimmering with dark light.
Even their faces were covered in red hair.
They roared ferociously, filled with violence, and pounced like vengeful ghosts toward the people near the ruins who were frightened and trying to escape.
How could those people escape from the eyes of a Great Heavenly Half-Sage?
They were instantly overtaken.
The dozen or so demonically corrupted half-sages were like wolves in a flock of sheep.
Their sharp, long, black fingernails pierced through people's bodies, and their sharp fangs bit through people's necks, sucking their blood dry with each bite.
Those who were bitten to death also began to mutate after falling to the ground, growing secondary black hair on their bodies.
Then, their eyes suddenly opened, and they roared and jumped up, scattering throughout the city.
In an instant, the entire city was in chaos, filled with screams and cries of fear.
"Damn it, how can there be Dark Curse in the city!"
The Han clan's ancestor noticed the situation in the city from within the clan, his face extremely gloomy, trembling with anger.
"You stay here to suppress the Dark Curse, I will go to the city to stop the spread of the Dark Curse!"
The ancestor disappeared like a stream of light above the Han clan and landed in the city, seeing thousands of people turned into demons, either frantically attacking houses or chasing others.
The ten-odd Great Heavenly Realm experts in their clan who were originally guarding the women from the outside world had become the main force in spreading the Dark Curse.
The ancestor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
"Bastards, the people are gone too!"
His eyes were extremely cold, and while killing the cursed citizens, he suppressed the ten-odd experts in the clan, and at the same time shouted loudly in the direction of the clan:
"Quickly activate the Chaotic Ancient Formation and seal off Saint Interruption Mountain for me!"
Such a powerful expert, having lived for countless years, was naturally not a fool.
The clan's medicine garden was stolen, and the Dark Curse was rampant.
In the city, the ten-odd people guarding the women from the outside world were also infected with the Dark Curse, but the women from the outside world had disappeared.
Combining these things, the answer was obvious!
Someone used the Dark Curse against their Han clan to save that woman.
However, he couldn't figure out how that person could drive so many Dark Curses, but in any case, this matter was definitely not over!
In such a short period, that person rescued the woman from the outside world, and must not have run out of Saint Interruption Mountain yet!
In the Han clan's ancestral temple, the clan leader and a group of high-level executives were shocked when they heard the ancestor's voice transmission.
What did it mean to activate the Chaotic Ancient Formation and seal off Saint Interruption Mountain?
The Chaotic Ancient Formation was severely damaged at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era.
It had taken countless years to accumulate limited energy.
If it were activated this time, it would probably have to remain dormant for several more eras.
If the family encountered greater danger in the future, without the formation, they would have one less trump card.
However, they did not dare to question the ancestor's decision.
Thinking that there was hope to return to the Upper Realm in this life, perhaps they would not stay here for too long.
It was still uncertain whether the Chaotic Ancient Formation would be used in the future.
The high-level members of the Han clan quickly went to the clan's forbidden area, entered the core formation eye, and began to activate the great formation.
… …
After Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan left the city, they arrived at the mountain agreed upon with Ling Qingyu.
He pulled Ling Qingyu up and sat behind him, rushing towards the exit of Saint Interruption Mountain at lightning speed.
Ling Qingyu's mood was very uneasy, and at this moment she was still immersed in the scene of the Han clan's chaos.
Outside the city, she naturally heard the heart-wrenching and extremely shrill screams from within the Han clan, as well as the Han clan's terrified roars, and even the city was in chaos.
All of this came from the hands of a Saint Sect cultivator, and probably no one would believe it if it was said.
Just as they were rushing towards the exit of Saint Interruption Mountain, the dark sky suddenly lit up.
Jun Wuxie looked up and saw patches of runes, each one extremely dazzling.
The positions of those runes were located above the city where the Han clan was located, forming a huge array, shining brightly, illuminating the entire Saint Interruption Mountain area.
He saw that at the end of the sky in front of him, a soaring light of runes lit up, forming a barrier, covering this world!
"Not good, this is a sealing formation!"
Ling Qingyu's expression changed drastically, and she said in a deep voice: "This kind of formation is usually used to seal off a world.
Once it is activated, it is impossible to force your way out unless you close the formation eye!"
Jun Wuxie's heart sank, but he didn't let Lanlan stop.
Whether they could get out or not, they had to try!
At dawn, they finally arrived at the exit.
In the past, the exit could not see the barrier, and the barrier at that time was hidden in the void.
But now, the barrier was flowing with the light of runes, sealing off the exit.
This was not the original barrier, but the barrier formed by the Han clan activating the formation.
"Lanlan, retreat!"
He jumped down, signaling her to take Ji Yinlan and Ling Qingyu further away.
Clang!
The Primordial Sword Embryo was sacrificed by him, and he held the hilt with both hands, raising it high.
The two forbidden techniques of Primordial Disintegration and Blood Transformation into Demon were superimposed.
His aura instantly increased by more than twenty times.
This kind of increase made Ling Qingyu's heart jump.
She could see that he had used the superposition of two major forbidden techniques, but the superposition of two major forbidden techniques could not achieve a twenty-fold increase.
The sublimation forbidden technique commonly used in the cultivation world, at the cost of burning life essence, can achieve a maximum of nine times increase.
Some geniuses with particularly powerful bloodlines, their bloodline inheritance forbidden technique, can make themselves achieve a maximum of ten times sublimation, which is already the highest limit.
The superposition of the two is only nineteen times!
How did this bad embryo achieve twenty times?
Vigorous golden blood energy surged and boiled, rushing towards the Primordial Sword Embryo.
A long river of years evolved into ten thousand feet of mortal dust appeared under Jun Wuxie's feet, rushing forward, as if rolling the waves of the era.
He was like a king overlooking the world, holding a sword of judgment, waving it forward, his invincible sword intent seemed to cut through the vast universe!
The Primordial Sword Embryo condensed the intention of soldiers and the invincible sword intent, triggering the ten-fold attack increase of the Fighting Word Secret, and slashing out a bright and dazzling sword energy.
At this moment, the sword light illuminated the mountains and rivers.
Ling Qingyu and Ji Yinlan only felt that everything in the world seemed to disappear, and only a sword light became the eternal brilliance!
Boom!
The unparalleled sword light slashed heavily on the formation barrier, bursting out a dull roar.
The aftermath of the sword energy produced by the collision between the two rebounded, surging like a raging wave, one wave higher than the other, tearing apart layers of space.
Jun Wuxie swiped with one hand, and a golden light curtain appeared, obliterating the aftermath.
"It seems that we really can't get out…"
His face was slightly gloomy.
A full-strength sword, this was already the sharpest single-point attack, but the barrier was solid and immortal, and it did not even cause a slight tremor.
Ling Qingyu recovered from the shock of the sword just now and sighed: "I said long ago that once this kind of formation is activated, we can't get out unless we close the formation eye.
Even if I recover to my peak, it will be difficult to break through…"
"Let's go, find a place.
Yinlan needs to heal, and you have to repair your origin as soon as possible, otherwise we will be very passive here."
Jun Wuxie no longer hesitated.
It was already a certainty that he could not get out for the time being, and what he had to do now was to prepare as much as possible to deal with the crisis.
He jumped up and landed on Lanlan's back, sitting between Ji Yinlan and Ling Qingyu.
With a wave of his hands, he hugged Ji Yinlan in his arms.
Runes lit up on Lanlan's feet, and she flew away like a stream of light.
They finally stopped in a stone forest densely covered with formations in the vast mountains.
There was a small cave in the stone forest, only five or six meters deep and three meters wide, but it was relatively dry.
The main thing was that the formations in this area were more complicated, and it was relatively safer.
"Little girl, hurry up and repair your origin, do you still need divine beast origin?"
"Bad embryo, can you not call me that in front of others?"
Ling Qingyu gritted her teeth, her face red with anger.
Ji Yinlan glanced at them with a surprised look.
One called her little girl, and the other called him bad embryo.
The strange names of the two sounded a bit like flirting.
"You, you are flirting everywhere outside."
She looked at Jun Wuxie with a helpless expression, and then smiled: "But Qingyu is not bad."
Ling Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and a look of shame appeared on her face, and said: "What are you talking about, who is flirting with this bad embryo…"
"I am innocent with her, just ordinary friends."
Jun Wuxie explained awkwardly, and then added: "But we have experienced life and death together, at most we can add a relationship of comrades-in-arms to the relationship of ordinary friends."
Ji Yinlan looked at Ling Qingyu, and then looked at Jun Wuxie, seeming to understand a little, and said: "I understand, it is the relationship where you occupy her and she occupies you."
Jun Wuxie was taking out some well water he got from the Han clan's medicine garden, trying to see what effect it would have if he drank it directly.
Hearing this, he sprayed a mouthful of well water directly.
"You…"
Ling Qingyu's face was flushed with anger, she pointed at Ji Yinlan, and finally aimed her spearhead at Jun Wuxie, and said angrily: "Bad embryo!
It's all you!"
Jun Wuxie shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was very innocent.
What did it have to do with him?
The comrade-in-arms relationship he was talking about was a genuine relationship of fighting side by side, not the relationship of mutual occupation that Ji Yinlan was talking about…
Turning his face, he saw that Ji Yinlan seemed to be holding back a smile on her face.
He was speechless for a moment, it turned out that she was deliberately teasing him and Ling Qingyu.
"You."
Jun Wuxie smiled, sat down next to her, put her in his arms, and said: "You still have the mind to tease us, are you afraid this time?"
Hearing this, Ji Yinlan gently pressed her face against his broad chest and whispered, "I was afraid. I thought I wouldn't even have the chance to see you one last time in this life. I was afraid of being separated from you forever, of being parted by life and death..."
"I was also afraid, afraid that you would leave me. Promise me, don't ever take such risks again..."
He felt lingering fear. If he had left the palace of the Myriad Dharma Holy Land a little earlier, he wouldn't have overheard the conversation of the Han Clan's Half-Sage and wouldn't have known that Ji Yinlan was trapped in Holy Severance Mountain.
This time, he was lucky to have learned of this news by chance, otherwise, the consequences would have been too heavy to bear for a lifetime.
"Okay," Ji Yinlan agreed without hesitation, saying, "Regarding my own life and death, I didn't know what fear was before, but now I'm really afraid. Before you appeared, I had already resolved to perish together with the Han Clan, but only I know that I have a little reluctance, reluctant to fall behind like this. I want to walk with you forever..."
"Then why did you still go to snatch the Dao Unification Flower?" Jun Wuxie gently stroked her silky black hair, saying, "You are clearly a Reincarnator with awakened Dao Fruit, you don't need something like the Dao Unification Flower to improve your realm at all."
"But you need it..."
Jun Wuxie's heart trembled. Ji Yinlan risked her life to fight for the Dao Unification Flower, just because he needed it.
In fact, he understood in his heart, even if she didn't say it, he understood...
"Wuxie, I really wish I could still be like before, able to protect you, able to help you, but it seems that I can't do it anymore. Even this time, I failed to seize the Dao Unification Flower for you, and instead, I made you risk danger to rescue me. The current you no longer needs my protection..."
"Look at me, tell me, who am I to you?"
Jun Wuxie held her pale but still stunningly beautiful face, gazing at her gently yet with a hint of possessiveness.
Ji Yinlan's eyes were very gentle, and a warm smile gradually appeared on the corner of her lips. Her slender, jade-like hand caressed his handsome and resolute face, and she said, "Of course you are Ji Yinlan's man, my husband."
"Therefore, for the rest of our lives, let me protect you."
His voice was very gentle, but also very firm, like the most sincere vow, lingering in her ears.
"Mmm."
Ji Yinlan hugged his strong body, her arms slowly tightening, as if she wanted to knead her entire body into his flesh and blood.
