Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1395 - 135: Teasing Luo Shui

"Luo Shui, Luo Shui, are you alright? Who exactly were those people? Why were they so powerful? Isn’t your strength supposed to be the best among our younger generation?"

Jiang Hongyi had many questions in her heart and couldn’t help but ask them.

At the same time, she also paid attention to Qian Luoshui’s condition and only breathed a sigh of relief after not seeing any sign of Qian Luoshui’s Eternal Spirit being depleted or damaged.

"This kind of thing, perhaps Zhou Yan knows very well!"

Qian Luoshui snorted coldly, her tone even more indifferent.

Jiang Hongyi was baffled, a little puzzled yet slightly suspicious of something, but ultimately, she missed the most critical scene, so she knew nothing.

After this incident, Qian Luoshui became even more silent and cold, distancing herself from people, hardly speaking at all. Even if Jiang Hongyi asked several times, Qian Luoshui would not respond.

Encountering such a situation, Jiang Hongyi felt quite helpless and powerless.

However, she did not feel disappointed because, at that critical moment, Qian Luoshui’s selfless rescue made Jiang Hongyi clearly understand that Qian Luoshui’s apparent heartlessness was not truly heartless, but merely a facade.

Her inner emotions might be more passionate than anyone else.

Jiang Hongyi understood Qian Luoshui; perhaps before, she was confused and couldn’t see clearly, but now, after facing life and death and seeing everything clearly, she could instead consider things from Qian Luoshui’s perspective, making everything much clearer.

Precisely because of this, even though Qian Luoshui was as cold as ice, making it difficult for anyone to approach, Jiang Hongyi still clung to Qian Luoshui, displaying a kind of relentless attachment.

After this situation played out, even Qian Luoshui felt quite helpless and thus silently took Jiang Hongyi, continuing to swift forward to the Ziwei Sect.

...

Zhou Yan stepped out from the Nine-layered Ancient Array, retracing his steps to the place where the battleship traces were found earlier.

As for the Black Water River, Zhou Yan was sure it was an extremely safe place, so Lin Xuefei could have better security there.

However, even though it was very safe, there was still the possibility of danger, so Zhou Yan was slightly worried on his way back.

Yet, before the worry could intensify, Zhou Yan felt an exceedingly violent change once again at the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain in the depths of his mind.

This change came on very quickly and suddenly.

"Hiss, what is this crazy woman doing again? Another life-threatening situation?! She’s simply reckless, always rushing to places of death!"

Zhou Yan felt a shiver in his heart, immediately sensing the anomaly.

He could discern the dangerous situation of Qian Luoshui because of two very critical reasons.

First, Zhou Yan refined Qian Luoshui, gaining much more benefit from her than she did from him. Moreover, Zhou Yan had comprehended the Bloodline and Emperor Pattern of Qian Luoshui, effectively unlocking the true secret of the life connection channel between his and Qian Luoshui’s Eternal Spirits. As long as Zhou Yan wished to, and when Qian Luoshui was weak, he could even unlock this life-link between them.

The second point is that after Zhou Yan’s Soul had strengthened a billion times, the Thunder Seal at the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain had undergone many changes, and he had awakened the true origin of a King.

Even though Zhou Yan’s Realm was quite low, he still had the King Origin, which would instinctively alert him to deadly danger. Zhou Yan himself was not in danger, so this sudden lethal threat naturally came from Qian Luoshui, who was connected to his Eternal Spirit.

For this reason, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but accept it.

In such a short time, Qian Luoshui had encountered two life or death situations. If it weren’t for the extreme challenge of deadly unknown lands, how could this happen?

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but feel both love and resentment towards this extremely reckless woman.

However, when Zhou Yan entered the Eternal Spirit and used Thunder Seal Soul Power to connect with Qian Luoshui’s Eternal Spirit, sensing the states of Ji Wu and others, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he immediately sobered up.

Zhou Yan realized he had wrongly blamed Qian Luoshui because encountering such puppet-like attacks from Ji Wu couldn’t be blamed on her — Jiang Hongyi beside Qian Luoshui undoubtedly explained the truth of the matter.

Qian Luoshui was invited by Jiang Hongyi, most likely to go to the Ziwei Sect to find him, Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, but immediately after, he sensed that the situation with Ji Wu was somewhat special.

The Form Changing ability, that kind of autonomous self-capacity, possessing the Twelve Forms of War Beast Soul, equated to having Twelve Layers of Eternal Spirit!

After Zhou Yan mastered the Three Pure Ones Technique and refined the Purple Blue Evil Qi, he vaguely felt that the Purple Blue Evil Qi controlling the life spirit of the Twelve Eternal Spirits was quite challenging, so Ji Wu — was most likely pretending to be enslaved.

Speculating on this, coupled with Zhou Yan understanding the wills of Zhou Gucheng and others being very strong, possessing an independent self, it was certain that it was not wholly controlled and that their own will must still be present but suppressed.

So, Zhou Yan had the confidence to rescue Qian Luoshui.

Because of this, Zhou Yan didn’t want to rescue Qian Luoshui too easily, so after thinking, he boldly and shamelessly said:

"You are Zhou Yan’s woman. I won’t allow you to die. You can’t die! Next time, I want another intimate encounter with you!"

"Although your husband is incompetent, he still has the ability to protect his own woman."

"Rest assured, leave it to me!"

After saying this, Zhou Yan descended all his Soul Power upon Qian Luoshui’s Eternal Spirit, and through the powerful force of the Eternal Spirit and his understanding of Qian Luoshui’s Emperor Pattern, Zhou Yan immediately condensed the Secret Technique, unleashing a Dragon Form Fist that wasn’t very powerful but captured the essence of the Form.

With this punch, indeed, Ji Wu’s gaze changed!

Zhou Yan’s Soul Power sensed through Qian Luoshui that not only Ji Wu but also Yanyan and Zhou Gucheng clearly had an instant emotional fluctuation.

Unfortunately, they were immediately taken away by Ji Wu, disappearing without a trace.

But just from this scene, Zhou Yan was already sure, Ji Wu was a pawn arranged beside the Lord of Ice and Snow.

After completing this situation, when Qian Luoshui was clearly in a daze, her heart in turmoil, Zhou Yan immediately sealed the Eternal Spirit, withdrawing from the Channel connecting Qian Luoshui and his Eternal Spirit.

This matter is extraordinary; Zhou Yan cannot be careless. If Qian Luoshui finds out, this woman might immediately sever their connection.

If it was before, Zhou Yan might have thought this connection ability was a hindrance based on his understanding of Qian Luoshui, but after seeing this woman’s vulnerable, weary, teary state before the Three-legged Tripod, Zhou Yan completely changed his view.

This is a pitiable woman, strong on the outside but very fragile inside.

She bears everything herself, showing an extremely cold and ruthless demeanor, yet truly her heart is as passionate as fire, incredibly sincere.

Precisely because of this, Zhou Yan doesn’t want Qian Luoshui to know her vulnerability was witnessed by that man.

That tearful moment, that confused and desolate moment, is her deepest secret, kept frozen, not yet time to open.

Until the day Qian Luoshui has the ability to face this knot herself, only then will she truly open it.

Thus, even though Zhou Yan’s words are domineering, teasing, he still exhibits his rough, domineering, fierce personality. This kind of machismo is actually more beneficial for Qian Luoshui than careful nurturing.

Zhou Yan has his own view. After collecting his Soul Power, he immediately awakened from the state within Heavenly Mansion.

And the result of waking up was his Soul Power becoming severely depleted again, with such a tragic situation making him feel a fate worse than death.

This is a severe backlash, every time it happens.

Like a broken heart, like the Origin of Eternal Spirit experiencing severe destruction.

But is this pain really painful? If such pain allows Qian Luoshui to escape life and death crisis, then even if it happens ten or eight times, what’s the harm?

Zhou Yan would do it without hesitation.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the extreme pain, then silently began to recover his Eternal Spirit.

Fortunately, there is a puppet, Loh Jixu, enslaved at Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain. This Loh Jixu previously encountered some trauma when trapping Jiang Xinli, but the damage wasn’t significant, and later on, during Zhou Yan’s Ming Wu of Three Pure Ones Technique, he recovered.

And now, Zhou Yan’s situation is somewhat special, so without hesitation he used Thunder Seal Power to suppress Loh Jixu, and Loh Jixu’s Eternal Spirit flew out at Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, spraying large quantities of Original Qi towards Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit.

This technique allowed Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit within Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain to quickly recover. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After Loh Jixu’s Eternal Spirit sprayed three large quantities of Original Qi, Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit’s pain gradually alleviated considerably, slowly recovering.

At this moment, Zhou Yan could finally take a breath and used Nirvana means to heal his injuries.

The Nirvana technique, when Zhou Yan applied it now, showed much better results, so much so that after using it, the remaining trace of injury completely healed.

The remaining depletion of Soul Power will need some time to recover, but with recovery in two other aspects, the speed of Soul Power recovery is naturally much faster.

As Zhou Yan progressed and his mind settled, he finally had the time to ponder the matter of Ji Wu.

Zhou Yan doesn’t believe his judgment is wrong; Ji Wu obviously is a pawn, placed beside the Lord of Ice and Snow.

Ji Wu very likely still retains his own will.

Aside from Ji Wu’s Form ability, Ji Wu’s biggest feature is—Ji Wu is not one person, but two.

This point, I’m afraid no one knows the current situation.

Zhou Yan speculates that even the Lord of Ice and Snow might not know this.

And Ji Wu is very likely truly enslaved, but only one of Ji Wu or Wu Ji is enslaved, while the other is lurking, hiding within.
