Chapter 165 Xie Wanning's Remnant Soul
Xie Wanxun stood in front of Xie Wanning, who bit her lower lip hard, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Xie Wanning's face turned deathly pale. She stared wide-eyed at Xie Wanxun in disbelief.
"Sister, why?"
Xie Wanning's abdomen was pierced by Xie Wanxun's hand, and blood gushed out.
"You've always known that I don't like peach blossom pastries." Xie Wanxun decisively pulled her hand away, and Xie Wanning collapsed in front of her.
Xie Wanning was slowly fading away, and everything around her began to disappear.
Xie Wanxun watched all this unfold, clutching her chest, feeling waves of sharp pain.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. It's very dangerous outside, you must be careful." Xie Wanning said weakly, then turned into specks of light and disappeared.
Xie Wanxun was slightly stunned as the light passed by her, warm but fleeting.
The surroundings instantly turned into complete darkness, with not a single ray of light visible.
A hint of sadness flashed in Xie Wanxun's eyes, followed by determination.
She was certain she was in a hallucination, and her inability to contact Xie Wanning indicated that the other party was likely in danger and had met with misfortune.
She must find a way out of the illusion quickly in order to save Wan Ning.
Setting up an illusion usually requires a powerful array, and the illusion typically only lasts for a few days. She had been in the illusion for over half a month without noticing the array's existence. This indicates the array's power is immense; forcibly breaking through it would be futile. She must find the array's core.
Although Xie Wanxun was unsure of what kind of formation she was in, she had a way to break it.
"Heaven and earth reverse, illusions and impermanence vanish, at the break of dawn, all things return to their true nature! All formations manifest, break!"
Xie Wanxun made a hand seal, flames swirled around her, and golden light shimmered beneath her feet.
"Break the illusion!"
"Illusory Array, break!"
"Illusionary Formation, break!"
……
Thirty illusion arrays appeared beneath Xie Wanxun's feet. Each array was an eighth or ninth grade array. Xie Wanxun could only hold her breath and concentrate to find the array's core and try to break it one by one.
Finally, all thirty illusion arrays were broken. Xie Wanxun wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her head was throbbing with pain, and her mental energy was so depleted that even her soul was weak.
I can't fall here; Wan Ning is still waiting for me.
The illusion began to disappear, and Xie Wanxun saw a light in the distance—that was the exit from the illusion!
Xie Wanxun forced herself to walk toward the exit, where someone was waiting for her.
"Yan Ze, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to take my eldest disciple back to Qingyun Sect." Yan Ze slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
Behind him were Song Huai'an, Jiang Ci, and Ye Qianqian.
"A demonic formation? I never thought I'd be blocked by a demonic entity." Xie Wanxun gave a self-deprecating laugh. She glanced coldly at the illusory figure in front of her and said fiercely, "Get out of my way! Don't block my path!"
“Why is Senior Sister so cold? We are all waiting for Senior Sister to go back!” Song Huai’an said with a smile.
"Senior Sister, I've learned how to make new pills. Would you like to take a look?"
"Senior Sister, please come back with us. Qianqian misses you very much."
Xie Wanxun frowned, and with a clench of her right hand, an iron sword appeared.
"Since you're blocking my way, I'll have to clear it myself." Xie Wanxun gripped her sword and charged forward. Her eyes were bloodshot; she had lost all reason. All she wanted was to break the formation and escape; she needed to find Xie Wanning.
The sounds of clashing swords and screams filled the air.
……
"How about it? Wanxun has lost her mind for you. She can't possibly break the formation anymore," Mo Xuan said with a mocking laugh.
Xie Wanning, who was trapped in the formation, watched everything in the illusion with worry.
Her face was bloodless, and her eyes were dull. Although there were no wounds on her body, she was hunched over, and her eyes were full of sorrow.
Xie Wanning felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had been pricked by needles. She glanced at the smug Mo Xuan and her sister, who was in a bloodthirsty state in the illusion, and finally lowered her head.
More than two weeks ago.
Qiao Qingzi and Xu Xiaoli were being hunted down by the Shadow Pavilion. In reality, Xu Xiaoli was an illusion created by Xie Wanning. Back in the black market, when she presented the Ten Thousand Year Mad Demon Grass and the Ninth Grade Rejuvenation Grass, she disguised herself as Xu Xiaoli, while Xie Wanxun had already returned to the consciousness space.
She had already fallen into the trap when she pulled the Shadow Pavilion members into her territory on the way.
The twelve assassins sent by the Shadow Pavilion were all array cultivators. They had already begun setting up the array when they entered the domain. By the time Xie Wan Ning appeared, she had already entered the illusion, and everything she saw afterward was an illusion.
Once she was separated from her sister in the illusion, her sister's soul left her body.
Xie Wanning had just awakened from the illusion when she was captured by Mo Xuan, the leader of the Black Shadow Pavilion, and thrown into the Soul-Destroying Array. For more than half a month, Xie Wanning's physical body remained undamaged, but her soul was riddled with holes and on the verge of dissipation.
Driven by her will to live, she lingered in her body.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xie Wanning asked weakly, her words barely audible.
"It's simple, return it to its rightful owner. Xie Wanning, your body originally belonged to Wanxun, you shouldn't exist, even your name is hers." Mo Xuan's tone was very disdainful. He had already seen all of Xie Wanning's memories, so he naturally knew of Xie Wanxun's existence.
“No, my sister and I are one body with two souls, so both of us should exist,” Xie Wanning retorted.
"Say what you will, your soul will perish sooner or later anyway. Wanxun is the true owner of this body." Mo Xuan turned his gaze to the illusion, no longer paying attention to Xie Wan Ning.
The light in Xie Wanning's eyes dimmed again. She was about to give up. The pain of her soul being torn apart made her want to leave this body at all times. However, she wanted to see her sister come out of the illusion safely.
This was her last wish: as long as her sister was alright, she could leave and no longer suffer such pain.
In fantasy.
Xie Wanxun went berserk, with 'Yan Ze,' 'Song Huai'an,' and 'Jiang Ci' constantly resurrecting, along with countless demons and monsters. She could only raise her sword high, enduring the excruciating pain from her wounds, and repeatedly slay these phantoms that were preventing her from leaving.
Her sword broke, so she defeated her enemies with her bare hands; her hand was broken, so she used her other hand. She had to leave this place; Wan Ning was still waiting for her.
After an unknown amount of time, a relentless stream of enemies pounced on Xie Wanxun, preventing her from struggling. The stench of blood and screams filled the surroundings.
The flames burned out, the spiritual energy was exhausted, and it seemed that all the blood was about to drain away.
Xie Wanxun closed her eyes wearily.
When Xie Wanxun opened her eyes again, she saw her inner demons.
"I never expected things to turn out like this when we meet again." The inner demon was engulfed in ghostly flames, her body covered in wounds, her snow-white clothes stained crimson with blood.
When Xie Wanning emerged from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, she was struck by heavenly lightning, nearly causing her mental breakdown. It was at that moment that Xie Wanxun was born; she possessed the memories of rebirth and only desired revenge. The heavenly lightning split Xie Wanning's soul in two, creating the present-day Xie Wanning and the Xie Wanning of her past life. Thus, the Xie Wanning reborn from her past life became Xie Wanxun.
Xie Wanxun was born for only one purpose—to protect Xie Wanning and complete his revenge.
Therefore, in order to resist the heavenly lightning, Xie Wanxun did not hesitate to merge with her inner demon, becoming a demon cultivator and gaining greater power, which allowed her to survive.
Xie Wanxun's inner demon is that she cannot protect Xie Wanning and cannot complete her revenge.
Now, Xie Wanxun is unable to leave the secret realm and find Xie Wanning, which leads to the reappearance of her inner demons.
"So, what's your choice?" the inner demon chuckled, her gaze never leaving Xie Wanxun.
"I'm willing to give up everything, just please, save Wan Ning!"
"Good! Deal!"
