After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 148 - Ding——

If that evil cultivator was really among the crowd at this moment, then he came here with only one purpose.

But why was he so brazen, not even fearing the combined force of nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators?

It wasn’t until Jiang Huai mentioned the four words “Yin Refining Gu” that Xu Qing understood everything. Jiang Huai thought for a moment,

“Next, I’ll teach you a formation. I’ll guide your soul with my soul. Try to adapt and don’t resist.”

“How can I be sure... that you’re not the evil cultivator hiding in the crowd?”

Xu Qing took a step back, her eyes showing a hint of vigilance.

That was a good question. Jiang Huai was also somewhat at a loss for a moment. After all, if he were to guide Xu Qing’s soul with his own, she would need to let down her guard, and he could take the opportunity to severely damage her soul.

Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment,

“If I were that evil cultivator, I could kill all the cultivators here, including you, in ten breaths. If you don’t believe me...”

In the next instant, Jiang Huai’s figure had disappeared, only to appear behind Xu Qing in a blink of an eye. His sword edge was against Xu Qing’s neck.

“Do you believe me now?”

Xu Qing’s body tensed almost instantly. Even though she had been on guard, she had no idea how Jiang Huai had gotten behind her, and his Ye Ning sword... even though her physical body could now withstand a Nascent Soul, it still couldn’t resist the sharpness of the Ye Ning sword.

Jiang Huai was a bit too close. His breath on Xu Qing’s neck made her subconsciously shrug her shoulders. The sharp aura from the sword edge made her legs inexplicably weak, and she whispered softly,

“I believe you.”

“That’s good.”

Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief and returned with Xu Qing to the tree. Xu Qing had several disciples continue to protect her while Jiang Huai stood by her side, reaching out to gently hold her hand to guide the connection of their souls.

Ordinary cultivators could not easily touch souls, but both Jiang Huai and Xu Qing had practiced the Pure Arcane Contemplation Manual. The Pure Arcane Contemplation Manual was one of the rewards Jiang Huai received from Qingxuan True Person. After leaving the secret realm, Jiang Huai thought about it and copied it for her as well. Xu Qing was initially too proud to accept it, but after Jiang Huai said a few good words, she obediently copied it down.

Mainly because the Pure Arcane Contemplation Manual was indeed something anyone could practice, it just depended on talent to see how far one could go. Jiang Huai didn’t intend to hide it. He had lent the Pure Arcane Contemplation Manual to several people for practice.

The feeling of soul fusion was somewhat subtle, and this time, with Jiang Huai leading, Xu Qing’s defenses were quietly let down, allowing Jiang Huai to guide the spiritual energy in her body to draw a completely new formation.

A hundred superior-grade spirit stones, equivalent to ten thousand ordinary spirit stones, were laid out in front of her. These were carried by Jiang Huai.

It’s not that Jiang Huai didn’t want to draw the formation himself, but his spiritual energy was too weak.

It was easy for him to draw some alchemy formations on a daily basis, but this formation, which was used to catch the enemy in a trap, required more spiritual energy as a guide, which he didn’t have, and his shattered meridians couldn’t store it, so he had to use Xu Qing’s body.

But the feeling of soul fusion... was indeed subtle. It was indescribable. Xu Qing always felt as if she was naked in front of Jiang Huai, with nowhere to hide, but she seemed to not resist this feeling, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring on a winter day.

After an incense stick’s time, Jiang Huai used Xu Qing’s body to complete the formation. Xu Qing’s soul power was somewhat depleted, but she understood the purpose of the formation. She had control over the formation, which was the Five Elements Absolute Sword Formation. Once activated, she could use her divine sense to control five elemental spirit swords to slay enemies within the formation.

“You’re actually a supreme formation master?!”

Xu Qing couldn’t help but express her surprise, lowering her voice.

“Not necessarily that level. I haven’t studied formations much,” Jiang Huai humbly replied, leaning back against the tree, slightly squinting his eyes, and began to survey the dense crowd in front of him.

The evil cultivator was hiding in the crowd, but who could it be?

As he pondered, a seductive female voice reached Jiang Huai’s ear, and even her hand reached out, gently caressing Jiang Huai’s face,

“This handsome young man, we meet again.”

Mo Wanqiu came over with a smile, the high slit of her cheongsam fluttering as she walked, revealing the clear lines of her legs.

The slit seemed to reveal everything, but no fabric was seen... was she wearing special lingerie, or was she not wearing anything at all?

Normally, Jiang Huai would have stolen a few more glances with the corner of his eye, but now he had no interest. He wasn’t the kind of novel protagonist who could remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. When he heard Qingxuan True Person talk about the terrifying aspects of the Yin Refining Gu, he was scared to death.

Plus, with the warning from the Ye Ning sword spirit... actually, before coming here, he seriously considered the option of hiding in Qingxuan True Person’s secret realm and not going out. But in the end, he still came.

“Hello,” Jiang Huai’s gaze fell on her.

Mo Wanqiu also sat down in front of the tree. As she sat down, she casually flipped the hem of her cheongsam to one side, revealing the curves of her legs. Mo Wanqiu’s eyes never left Jiang Huai’s face, and she asked softly,

“Where is your Dao companion?”

“She happened to encounter the Daoji Ancestral Land inheritance and is undergoing the trial inside. It’s relatively safe, so I came here to seek protection.”

“I see... This time, the methods of that evil cultivator are indeed frightening. But, young man, do you also know the holy maiden of the Guangxue Sect?”

“Yes, I met her a few years ago.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t asked for your name yet.”

“Jiang Huai.”

Jiang Huai answered truthfully, and Mo Wanqiu was slightly taken aback.

“You are Jiang Huai?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“I see... no wonder.”

Mo Wanqiu’s mind cleared up a bit.

Since he was Jiang Huai, it made sense that his soul was so powerful... after all, even she, who lived on the Aolai Continent, had heard of Jiang Huai several times.

But if she remembered correctly, wasn’t he crippled?

No wonder his cultivation was at the first level of Qi refining.

Jiang Huai had no interest in chatting with Mo Wanqiu. His eyes were still searching the crowd, trying to find some clues with his soul power, but it seemed that the evil cultivator also had a way to hide, not letting him sense anything unusual.

Suddenly, his cheek felt a little wet.

When he looked up, the sky had become somewhat overcast, as if it was going to rain.

At this moment, the protective spirit formation drawn by Xu Qing had already formed a barrier within a hundred zhang, enveloping everyone within it. And the Five Elements Absolute Sword Formation was also quietly buried underground, ready to burst forth and strike at the evil cultivator at that critical moment.

The evil cultivator dared to come here, naturally without any fear, possessing the ability to easily kill these hundred or so people. Therefore, seizing the initiative became extremely important. In such a life-and-death battle, many times it’s a matter of a single thought or breath.

Whoever strikes first determines the key to victory.

Jiang Huai’s nerves were tense, but Mo Wanqiu’s voice reached his ears again, and even her hand reached out, gently touching Jiang Huai’s face,

“I’ve heard of Holy Son Jiang’s name for a very long time, they all say Holy Son is handsome, but I never thought he would be this good-looking... Now that Holy Son’s Dao companion is not here, why don’t we find a quiet place to have a good chat?”

“At this critical moment with a formidable enemy before us, are you only thinking about those frivolous pleasures? Put away your seductive tricks!”

Xu Qing couldn’t help but frown and said coldly.

Mo Wanqiu’s dissolute reputation was well-known in the Tingyu Sect. Rumors had it that in the past two months, she had been practicing a dual cultivation secret technique, mastering some charming arts. Men who made eye contact with her would feel their desires slightly stirred.

Just in these two months, she had been rumored to have slept with many cultivators from her sect. Even in her own Guangxue Mountain, it seemed that several Junior Brothers had been involved with her, as if anyone who came along could make her shed her clothes and spread her legs, never refusing a comer.

“Enough, let go of my hand.”

Jiang Huai subtly grabbed her wrist and pushed her hand aside, thinking this woman really had some issues. Mo Wanqiu, feeling snubbed, pouted, and in an instant, all the flirtatiousness on her face disappeared as she coldly stood up and walked away.

Jiang Huai watched her leaving figure and thought, well, it seems he really had no desire for her, as even the system couldn’t be bothered to give a single ding.

Wait, system?

Suddenly, Jiang Huai thought of something, and his mind began to change.

He tried to conjure some wicked thoughts, wondering if he could deceive the system into releasing a taskn and obtain some information from the mission’s intelligence?

But unfortunately, he failed.

Even though he repeated in his mind countless times his desire to cultivate the Refining Yin Demon Gu, the system still did not respond at all. It seemed to have sensed his intentions and disdained to issue a mission. Jiang Huai could only pin his hopes elsewhere.

His gaze unintentionally fell on Xu Qing’s face, attracted for a moment by her profile.

Quite beautiful.

Ding————

Suddenly, a ding sounded in Jiang Huai’s ear.
