Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 866: 719

However, a hint of strangeness appeared on Lv Qiluo’s face as she spoke an odd incantation, "Venerable Xuanhuang, as the dragon wrestles with the tiger and the sun shines bright, revealing all that is clear— I call upon the Xuanhuang Great Emperor of Miluo to lend me the Divine General."

This incantation was actually designed by Lv Qiluo herself for Li Xuan, but as she chanted the magical words, she still felt a bit odd.

In the next instant, a deathly gray fog appeared behind her, and several black chains suddenly shot through the air, piercing directly through the Nine-tailed White Fox’s Primordial Spirit and forcibly gathering all her Divine Sense into a cluster, dragging it into the gray fog.

The Nine-tailed White Fox struggled desperately, but Lv Qiluo’s ’Taichu’ technique constantly interfered with and suppressed her ’Xushi’ power, so the Nine-tailed White Fox was never able to escape the ’Huntian Chain’s binding.

The standoff lasted for about a moment, and ultimately, the Nine-tailed White Fox’s Primordial Spirit was forcibly dragged into the space of Tianxingtai.

Once the bridal chamber finally calmed down, Lei, who had been tensely watching the battle, finally relaxed his body.

His eyes showed not only relief but also intense surprise.

Lv Qiluo glanced sideways into the canopy of the bridal bed and then, with a strange expression and avoiding direct gaze, withdrew her look. Then she transformed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared inside the bridal chamber.

At this time, outside Li Xuan’s main courtyard, Jiang Yunqi with a pair of Huaji, Ao Shuying, Dongfang Liang, and others, also dispersed one after another.

— The Nine-tailed White Fox had startled them in her shock and spiritlessness as her flesh was seized. The people were only restrained by the concern for the couple in the room consummating their marriage, which is why they didn’t directly burst in.

Fortunately, as the situation stabilized afterwards, although they couldn’t sense exactly what had happened inside, the Divine Senses of Li Xuan and Jiang Hanyun remained unharmed and harmonious.

The strong demonic spirit within the bridal chamber was somehow suppressed by some force and ultimately vanished without a trace.

Jiang Yunqi was still somewhat worried, but he trusted the "Shentian Dual Essence Technique" that he had personally developed.

He knew that his daughter was not only safe, but she had also taken a firm step on the path towards the Heavenly Tier.

— Hanyun had already crossed the threshold of the Gate of Heaven.

Still, the situation made Jiang Yunqi feel heartache and discomfort. If possible, he would rather not have developed the "Shentian Dual Essence Technique."

The feeling of watching the daughter he had raised for almost twenty years being taken by a boor was simply indescribable.

※※※※

Li Xuan did not wake up until the sun was high the next day, and the first thing he did was to focus inwardly and inspect the changes in his body.

He and Jiang Hanyun had completed the third realm of their "Shentian Dual Essence Technique" training at the end of the Hour of Chou (3 a.m.) yesterday.

But at that time, how could Li Xuan care about the condition within his body? He was, of course, eager to roll with Jiang Hanyun under the red covers, to share the pleasures of men and women.

Jiang Hanyun, perhaps due to the effect of the Spirit Fox bloodline in her body, was clearly clumsy and inexperienced in this regard, yet her every inadvertent movement scratched an itch deep in Li Xuan’s heart, sending his blood rushing and passion surging.

Unfortunately, on the second day of their marriage, Jiang Hanyun still needed to perform the tea ceremony for her parents-in-law.

Jiang Hanyun no longer wished to continue either, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone.

Li Xuan had to restrain his beastly desires and stop their activities in the early morning to rest for a while.

At this time, his body was still capable of going another dozens of rounds with Jiang Hanyun, but spiritually, he was indeed somewhat fatigued.

The third step of the "Shentian Dual Essence Technique" had indeed strengthened his Primordial Spirit, but as Li Xuan had single-handedly guided this process, his Yuan Qi had inevitably been depleted. Not to mention that his mind had been tense all of yesterday.

Therefore, after the passion subsided, Li Xuan fell into a deep sleep until he awoke near noon, and finally had the leisure to observe the changes within his body.

Everything was as Li Xuan had anticipated; his Hao Qi Divine Sense and Zhenyuan Mana had crossed the threshold of the Twelfth Layer Stage.

The heavenly Zhenyuan within his body had increased nearly ninefold.

Li Xuan was secretly delighted, as that was not much less than what a normal person at the Heavenly Tier could boast.

The immense benefits of this "Shentian Dual Essence Technique" had never disappointed him.

Regrettably, had it not been for the completion of the third step during his Twelfth Layer Stage, Li Xuan might have even leveraged this method to step directly through the Gate of Heaven.

However, Li Xuan could no longer wait for that moment. With his current speed of cultivation, it would take at least two to three years to reach the Twelfth Layer Stage.

It was better to secure what was already in hand and directly exchange it for a powerful combat force.

And for Li Xuan, the Heavenly Tier didn’t actually pose any obstacles. He just needed to improve his cultivation level in the future, and it would naturally come to fruition.

Besides the enhancement of his Zhenyuan mana, Li Xuan also discovered some unusual changes deep within his flesh and blood.

This led to the birth of two Divine Skills of the Demon Tribe - one was ’Intuition’, and the other was ’Charm’.

’Intuition’ came from the Baize, while ’Charm’ originated from the Spirit Fox.

Intuition could be understood as instinct, where an element of precognition was added to it, enabling Li Xuan to intuitively judge the opponent’s actions in battle.

Charm was even easier to understand. Li Xuan realized that he had become more handsome and thus, more appealing to girls.

Besides bewitching women, this Divine Skill likely had another function - it could make it easier for him to control his subordinates and generals.

It was like those natural-born kings of ancient times who unconsciously made people submit to their charm.

However, for Li Xuan at present, these two Divine Skills were just the icing on the cake. After a brief sensing, he didn’t pay much attention to them anymore.

When he opened his eyes, Jiang Hanyun opposite him also seemed to awaken as if by mental connection.

Surprise filled her eyes at that moment, "My Primordial Spirit is at least seven times stronger than yesterday!"

Not just that, she had awakened several very powerful Divine Skills of the Spirit Fox and even had an inkling of touching upon the ’Xushi’ Technique.

This left her utterly astounded and amazed beyond words.

Jiang Hanyun had never taken the time to study the ’Xushi’ way. However, now she could use the ’Xushi’ Wuyi, which was nearly at the God Realm level.

Jiang Hanyun then realized that this probably related to the odd events of the previous day. But at that point, her mind had been foggy, deep in inebriation. The only bit of consciousness left was fully cooperating with Li Xuan, with no capacity to sense the outside world, leaving her unaware of what had happened.

"What on earth happened last night?" Jiang Hanyun asked, her expression contemplative, "I felt like something invaded my body at that time, and then—"

Was a part of it swallowed by her? Was it then refined under the influence of the "Shentian Dual Essence Technique"?

"It seemed like someone was trying to seize your flesh last night," Li Xuan too was recollecting with focused thought, then his expression turned serious, "There’s something wrong with your dowry maid, that Linghu Yao. Wait a moment, Hanyun!"

He had been previously fooled by the Illusion Technique of the Nine-tailed White Fox, not noticing anything amiss at all.

But now that the Illusion Technique was lifted, he discovered that there was no memory of such a person in his mind.

There was never such a maid beside Jiang Hanyun, this Linghu Yao had seemingly sprung out of nowhere into their memories.

Li Xuan was secretly shocked, thinking if this was what an ’Extreme Heaven’ level Illusion Technique was capable of?

Then he simply waved a hand, and a ball of blackish-gray mist materialized in front of him; he stepped forward into it: "Hanyun, if you’re interested, you can come in and take a look as well."

Jiang Hanyun discovered that Li Xuan had entered a strange space.

Curious, without any hesitation or delay, she followed Li Xuan’s steps into it.

As soon as the two stepped into the space of the Tianxingtai, Li Xuan’s first glance was towards the Nine-Tailed Fox bound on the executioner’s block of the Tianxingtai.

And above, the Nine-Tailed Primordial Spirit was trapped by countless chains, struggling intensely until noticing Li Xuan’s arrival, when it temporarily ceased.

Lv Qiluo stood on the Tianxingtai, looking at Li Xuan from afar: "Come and see, the Nine-Tailed Fox that once wreaked havoc in the world thousands of years ago."
