Chapter 227 - Nine Absolute Yin Veins

Li Xuanji’s sudden appearance caused a stir at the wedding. Everyone was shocked when the two Patriarchs lost to her.

Both the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch and the Northern Black Tortoise Patriarch were wary of Li Xuanji’s absolute strength. They bowed before her, waiting for Li Xuanji to speak. Both of them were too scared to do anything.

Why is Long Chen still alive? Who is she? Did Long Chen save her from the bottom of the abyss? That should be it. There’s no one this strong even in the capital. Only someone of her caliber is capable of saving Long Chen. What is her relationship with him? The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch was shaken.

Long Chen had gone from the Draconic Realm to the Heavenly Core Realm in just half a year. As much of a prodigy as he was, even Mo Xiaolang hadn't progressed that fast. Being trapped by Ling Xi and the appearance of Li Xuanji made the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch feel that Long Chen’s background was a mystery.

No one uttered a single noise as they waited for Li Xuanji’s response.

Li Xuanji was still looking at Yang Lingqing, completely ignoring the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch. She then waved her hand after some time, “I’ve been in a good mood for the past few days, so I don’t want to kill anyone. Don’t bother me, just do whatever you want.”

This was the Lingwu family’s territory, but Li Xuanji had the strength and confidence to shoo them away. It was clear she was leagues above them.

The Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch and the others dared not utter a single sentence. They knew that legendary cultivators past a certain cultivation level would be able to retain their youth even though they were old. Seeing that Li Xuanji was young and yet still accepted them when they called her an elder, she was definitely very old.

“Let’s get out of here. It’s time for me to do my part,” Long Chen suggested. He had realized that Li Xuanji was so excited to find out about Yang Lingqing’s body that she had completely forgotten about the Soul Swallowing Gaze.

Li Xuanji nodded. Long Chen called for Yang Yuntian and Yang Lingqing before leaving the place. The crowd didn’t know what to do.

All of them knew that Long Chen was not someone they could offend–even the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch could not do anything to him!

The Lingwu family was left feeling miserable for the very first time!

This was especially true for the people who once tried to get rid of Long Chen such as Dongfang Tianyu, Dongfang Tianxing, and Chu Tianxiong. All of them stood quietly in the Black Tortoise Pavilion while Long Chen humiliated them by taking Yang Lingqing away from Beitang Mo with the aid of Li Xuanji.

After Beitang Mo called for the two Patriarchs, he had been waiting at the gate to see Long Chen and Li Xuanji die, but it was out of his expectations when even both of the Patriarchs lost to her. Beitang Mo felt his pride break to pieces. The Northern Black Tortoise Patriarch was his role model, and the man he looked up to had not only lost, he had even conceded to the enemy.

When he saw Yang Lingqing smiling happily when she was being escorted out by Long Chen, Beitang Mo felt like his chest had been engulfed by a raging fire.

“Long Chen ...” Beitang Mo had never thought that the insignificant brat before him would become the person who had humiliated him the most!

I will kill you! I will kill you no matter who the woman protecting you is! Beitang Mo had clashed with Long Chen earlier, so he had a good grasp of the latter's strength despite having held back

When Long Chen left, everyone sighed in relief. They looked at each other, their faces filled with defeat. Everyone had been holding their breath unconsciously ever since the mysterious girl appeared, so they didn’t even think about laughing at the Northern Black Tortoise family.

The wedding had been turned into a massive joke. No one had any reason to stay, so they left promptly.

***

Once out of the Northern Black Tortoise family, Long Chen found a random patch of shade and stood there.

Yang Yuntian and Yang Lingqing were still reeling from the shock, unable to believe that they had managed to escape such a terrible fate. They dared not say anything since the god-like Li Xuanji was still here.

“What’s the Supreme Yin Devil Body?” Long Chen could tell that she was very interested in it.

“As I’ve said, the Supreme Yin Devil Body and the Nine Absolute Yin Veins are the two strongest Yin-based body constitutions in the world. Even though their initial growth rate is slow, they can unleash their full potential as long as their owner has the necessary resources and cultivation methods. Your cousin ... I detected a hint of the Supreme Yin Devil Body underneath her Dark Yin Body. I think she has the potential to grow into having the Supreme Yin Devil Body.”

Li Xuanji came from an extraordinary place. Since she admired the Supreme Yin Devil Body and called it one of the two strongest Yin-based body constitutions, it meant that the situation was not that simple. Long Chen had a feeling that Li Xuanji somehow wanted to take Yang Lingqing as her disciple.

“It seems that you don’t have any idea how strong those body constitutions are,” Li Xuanji said plainly as she stared at Long Chen. “I have the Nine Absolute Yin Veins and I have yet to find another with the same body constitution as me. How strong do you think I am?”

Li Xuanji’s strength was naturally beyond his imagination.

“I know you are strong, so strong that no one in this country could rival you.” Long Chen nodded.

“Hehe ...” Li Xuanji smiled and acknowledged it. “Since you’ve cultivated my Soul Swallowing Gaze, go and do what you promised. I will wait for you here.”

Long Chen had seen how strong Li Xuanji was just now. Even though he wanted to kill the Eastern Azure Dragon Patriarch, he dared not go against Li Xuanji’s order. He was also afraid of her and wanted to fulfill his promise as soon as possible before running away. Long Chen had a feeling that if he said something wrong and angered her, he would be killed instantly.

“Xiao Qing, wait here. I will be back soon,” Long Chen told Yang Lingqing. He then exited Yuanling City and headed towards the Eastern Ling District.

The second stage of the Soul Swallowing Gaze is Soul Snatching. Let me try it now. Long Chen weaved around the crowd and found a residential area. He had a higher chance of finding a target here.

Li Xuanji needed the souls of virgin women. Long Chen did his best to find two hundred young women. He was afraid of harming them, so he increased the number from a hundred to two hundred so the strain on their souls would be lessened.

It was clear that the Soul Swallowing Gaze was a unique technique. Long Chen found his first target washing clothes beside a river. He approached and gently tapped her back. She looked back and blushed out of shyness when she saw the handsome Long Chen.

“Look into my eyes.” Long Chen’s pupils lit up with a dark-green light. The first stage was Seduction, and he was already using it. Seduction allowed him to see a blob of gray mist within the woman’s body, and he had a feeling that the gray mist had lowered its hostility towards him, as if it could be coaxed out.

“Soul Snatching ...” The ancient character for the word “snatch” appeared in his pupils. With his strong control, he saw a part of the gray mist detach from her body, and it was then sucked into his eyes.

“Success.” Long Chen was surprised that he had succeeded on the first try.

But he then saw the woman’s face become pale. This made him feel slightly ashamed of his actions, but he had no choice. He needed to do it to survive.

He then proceeded to find more women to do the same to. It took him an hour to finish his mission. This was the first time he had gotten a good grasp on the two useful tricks of the Soul Swallowing Gaze. He had a feeling that he would unlock stronger techniques when he got stronger.

He returned to Yuanling City and found that everyone was still at the same place.

“You are slow.” Li Xuanji’s gaze was cold and fearsome.

“Sorry, it was my first time using it, so I wasn't very familiar with it.” Long Chen lied. If he had taken a hundred whole souls, he could have done it in half an hour.

Li Xuanji forgave him when she heard his excuse. No matter what, Long Chen was still the one who had freed her.

She used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and took all of the souls from Long Chen, making them her own.

After absorbing the souls, Li Xuanji sat cross-legged and started refining them. Just then, Yang Lingqing and Yang Yuntian signaled for Long Chen to come to them. They were seated slightly further away. Yang Lingqing had a serious look in her eyes when she said, “Brother, I want to follow her.”

“What?” Long Chen’s eyes widened, but he soon realized what had happened. Li Xuanji had most likely proposed to have Yang Lingqing follow her.

“Did she threaten you?” Long Chen whispered.

Li Xuanji had the Nine Absolute Yin Veins while Yang Lingqing had the potential to grow her Dark Yin Body into the Supreme Yin Devil Body. It was clear that Li Xuanji wanted her.

“No, she just asked if I wanted to accept her as my master. She said she’s stronger than you by at least ten thousand times. Even though she looks fierce, I know she’s a good person!” Yang Lingqing looked at Li Xuanji.

“A good person? We all thought Beitang Mo was good at first.” Long Chen was still worried. He would rather have Yang Lingqing go back to Baiyang Town and live a peaceful life rather than risk it.

“It’s not the same.” Yang Lingqing was adamant. She told him seriously, “Brother, I’ve thought about it. I need to live my own life and cannot be protected by you all the time. This is the opportunity of my life. If I pass on it, I will remain a nobody until the day I die. I want to see the world and the wonders of it. Brother, you have the right to do it, so I should too, right?”

“Erm ...” Long Chen didn’t know what to say as he looked at her passionate eyes.

“When you were doing your mission, she told me about the world, about the Dragon Continent, the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and the Three Emperor Territory. This is the first time I’ve learned how big the world is ...” Yang Lingqing had a dreamy look on her face.

“Let her go.” Out of Long Chen’s expectations, her father agreed to it.
