Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 994 - 414: Siblings: Before the Outcome

The sunlight after rain warmly filtered through the gaps in the trees, sprinkling like little stars on the two secret books held by the figure in black sword clothes, making the words on the cover exceptionally clear. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

'Ten Directions Breathing Technique, upper and lower volumes...'

Dongfang Xinglan slightly squinted her star-like eyes. As the Heir Princess of the Eastern Royal Family, she naturally had been exposed to the Ten Directions Breathing Technique since childhood, but it was her first time seeing the beautifully bound version.

Because the Royal Family did not want the Ten Directions Breathing Technique to leak, they not only separated the general outline and the detailed outline, but also engraved them on Outer Heaven Fallen Iron, stored separately in the Imperial Palace and Central Capital Imperial Mausoleum.

Only by breaking through a realm does one qualify to see the next realm's detailed outline.

Back when Dongfang Xinglan broke through as a Martial Saint, she naturally saw the Martial God Chapter of the Ten Directions Breathing Technique, having thus read all of it.

However, comparing the remembered Ten Directions Breathing Technique with the upper and lower volumes held by this person, the word count was noticeably less.

This meant that the Ten Directions Breathing Technique held by the person in black sword clothes was very likely the complete Body Refining Method.

Moreover, this person came silently and stealthily, suggesting that they might be the one behind creating the belief in the Three Great Martial Gods.

After clearing her thoughts, Dongfang Xinglan said blandly, "No need."

"Oh?" The person directly turned, revealing a mask carved with a butterfly and entirely pale on their face.

Dongfang Xinglan's eyelid couldn't help but twitch. Why did the mask look so creepy?

Especially, there was an indescribable suffocating sensation.

"Knowing the outside world, altering old regimes, slaughtering aristocratic families, exterminating royal family, annihilating belief..."

A leisurely voice sounded, indistinguishable in gender: "Each and every one primarily originated from your handiwork, did it or didn't it?"

"How do you know?"

"Saw it."

"Heh..." Dongfang Xinglan chuckled noncommittally, "It's estimated from bits and pieces, isn't it? After all, if one really has a mind, it's not hard to deduce the truth from clues."

Here, the person behind the god likely couldn't use any power other than Vigorous Force, or else Lu Jin'an wouldn't have been unharmed in Lu'an.

"I was just trying to say..." Lu Yunzhu tossed the two secret books in her hand towards Dongfang Xinglan, "Since your actions are so cunning and cruel, why not use these two secret books to achieve your aim?

You like him, but also your nature is treacherous and suspicious, thus besides emotion, you also want to use other means to achieve the goal, don't you?"

Listening to her voice, Dongfang Xinglan dodged aside, allowing the two secret books to fall onto the still damp steps.

Lu Yunzhu didn't mind and strolled towards her, "The assurance of an upper position's trust in people partly lies in having control over their family's safety, likewise..."

Dongfang Xinglan interrupted her, "That's logical reasoning, but I don't want to, and won't, become an accomplice in harming him.

Can you guarantee there are no other hidden tricks in these two secret books?"

She let out a cold laugh, "This Three Great Gods scam has deceived me for over twenty years, now I certainly won't become anyone's puppet anymore.

Of course, you may as well force me to learn, or... kill me."

As the words fell, Dongfang Xinglan draw out the Qin King Sword, its tip directly pointing at the halted Lu Yunzhu.

Lu Yunzhu's eyes lingered gloomily on Dongfang Xinglan, "Even he wouldn't dare point a sword at me."

Dongfang Xinglan raised an eyebrow, "It's not impossible to consider me as him, after all, you probably just... saw me and him the whole time, right?

Since you know my relationship with him, then it wouldn't be impossible for me to dare for him either."

Fiery Vigorous Force swirled around the sword tip, though Tanlang Palace and having passed a Heavenly Tribulation's Vigorous Force wasn't comparable to a Martial God in the Eastern Dynasty, but in terms of Vigorous Force's purity, it was unrivaled.

'Indeed...'

Lu Yunzhu's eyes flashed with a trace of eerie light; the woman before her not only escaped Emperor Tedi's rewriting of memories but also passed a Heavenly Tribulation and established a Dao Palace.

How it was done no longer mattered; what mattered was that this woman had become a stumbling block in her plans.

Yet...

Lu Yunzhu raised her right hand, gently tapping her fingertips on the sword tip of the Qin King Sword, instantly dissipating the Vigorous Force swirling on the sword tip, while Dongfang Xinglan even felt the sword in her hand as if it had turned into a giant stone, making it impossible to lift with her arm.

Clang—

The Qin King Sword dropped to the ground as Dongfang Xinglan held her trembling right wrist with her left hand, her expression grave.

Lu Jin'an was far stronger than her but couldn't match the pressure brought by the person before her.

Yet...

Coldly laughed Dongfang Xinglan slowly opened her mouth, "Why not dare to show up when he's still here?"

Lu Yunzhu stepped up to her side, "My goal is not to kill anyone.

I'll leave those two secret books here; whether you practice them or not is up to you."

Dongfang Xinglan swiftly turned her head, but where in her sight was Lu Yunzhu's silhouette anymore?

She scrunched her delicate nose, absorbing the lingering scent.

Woman?

Dongfang Xinglan tugged at her mouth corners, so could she be one of Lu Jin'an's women?

If so, which one? And did she come deliberately as a show of force?

Or...

She lowered her head to gaze at the two secret books lying on the steps, scoffing coldly.

Dongfang Xinglan suddenly felt that none of these women were easy to deal with.

With a flick of her finger, the Vigorous Force on her fingertips hit the two secret books directly, and the finely bound books immediately began to burn.

Dongfang Xinglan looked up at the clear sky, and only when the wind had blown away the burnt ashes did she start walking again.
