Chapter 437: Chapter 086 Strong Presence

"We’ve been pursued by a Saint on our journey, almost to the brink of death. Had it not been for the Yaochi Saint coming to our aid, I fear—"

Great Sun Xuanzhe felt a chill to the bone and was under an immense pressure that made his heart race.

Though he was a genius of the True Xuan Level himself, facing Zhou Yan, he felt such terrifying pressure that he could barely resist, filling him with extreme alarm.

Watching Zhou Yan battle from afar had been frightening enough, but now that he was up close, even breathing felt somewhat labored.

"I didn’t ask that!"

Zhou Yan’s face turned cold.

An invisible soul pressure burst forth instantly!

That force immediately froze Great Sun Xuanzhe and Pei Rou Xuanzhe in place. In that instant, they felt as though their bodies had been struck by lightning, all control over their abilities lost, completely out of their grasp! Their power was stripped away in an instant!

With a thought, Zhou Yan’s hand fiercely clenched, as if performing a heightened form of Dragon Form Swordsmanship with his arms, he lunged with both hands simultaneously, grabbing one in each hand, seizing the necks of Pei Rou Xuanzhe and Great Sun Xuanzhe.

The strength in his hands erupted, choking their necks and lifting the two True Xuan Level geniuses slowly off the ground. They were held side by side in the Void, unable to move.

"Pei Rou!"

"Pei Rou Xuanzhe!"

In that moment, two female cultivators in white silk dresses flew over and upon seeing this scene, let out shocked cries.

These two women were not ranked, so Zhou Yan did not recognize them.

But upon their arrival, they immediately cried out in shock. Initially wishing to intervene, they suddenly saw Great Sun Xuanzhe also in Zhou Yan’s hands, twisted as though a small chicken, and they became filled with terror, shock, and fear.

However, behind those emotions, they both glanced at Pei Rou Xuanzhe and their eyes filled with evident anger, their hearts indignant, looking as if they were ready to fight to the death.

Zhou Yan’s gaze carried a hint of cruelty as he looked coldly at Pei Rou Xuanzhe, a clear intent to kill in his eyes.

"Since you refuse to submit, I might as well kill everyone related to you."

"No... they are my... friends, we have a bond of life and death... They didn’t mean to offend, kill me, let them go..."

Pei Rou Xuanzhe’s body slowly began to regain some strength, allowing her to speak with difficulty.

Zhou Yan spared Pei Rou Xuanzhe another glance, then looked at the two defiant white-dressed women, and nonchalantly released the two Prohibition Geniuses from his grasp, calmly saying, "This time I’ll let it slide, but if you get any news of Feng Jiu Xian or Hou Ling’er, keep me informed. Don’t think that just because you survived this time, you won’t meet me again. I have plenty of ways to find you."

"Alright, certainly, we will do it!"

Pei Rou Xuanzhe and Great Sun Xuanzhe were not fools. Knowing that they had not died before made them realize they would likely not be harmed this time either, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Apologize to Zhou Xuanzhe, quickly."

After responding, Pei Rou Xuanzhe immediately ordered the two white-dressed women.

The two women were somewhat reluctant but did not dare to show it. They were not foolish; they naturally understood that Zhou Yan’s strength must be incredibly formidable, or else he wouldn’t have left the proud Great Sun Xuanzhe and the powerful Pei Rou Xuanzhe in such a sorry state!

Thus, the two women whom Zhou Yan didn’t know still bowed respectfully and apologized.

Zhou Yan observed one of the women and said, "You have a very weak Void Body, take it out and use it."

"Huh? Zhou Xuanzhe, how do you know?"

The woman was startled, her face showing both shock and confusion.

"Take it out."

Zhou Yan’s expression turned a few degrees colder.

The woman in the white gauze dress paled, her silver teeth clenched, yet she reluctantly separated a Void Body.

Although it was a Void Body, it was still a living entity.

Zhou Yan’s gaze remained unchanged as he said, "Come here, jump into the circular portal within the Nine Great Light Pillars."

"This... Alright, I’ll jump!"

The Void Body woman pursed her lips; though reluctant, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it and quickly approached Zhou Yan, then leaped into the circular space.

The next moment, the space fluctuated, undulating with irregular distortions. As the Void Body entered, like a stone cow into the sea, it sunk in instantly, and then not a single ripple surfaced.

Behind Zhou Yan, the woman who had produced the Void Body suddenly shook violently, spewing a mouthful of vivid lifebound essence blood. Her realm dropped a level in an instant.

Her face was ashen, her eyes filled with resentment as she gazed at Zhou Yan, and deep within, there was a profound mix of fear, unwillingness, and sorrow.

"You, come here."

Zhou Yan pointed at the woman.

The woman trembled, her look uncertain, but ultimately she approached Zhou Yan, gritting her silver teeth and bearing her wounds.

She felt she was about to be cruelly killed by Zhou Yan!

"Take the Condensing Saint Pill, and I’ll help you resolve its potency, offering you a miraculous opportunity."

Zhou Yan said, and with a flick of his ethereal hand, a glistening golden elixir for Saints to heal injuries appeared in front of the woman.

This scene shocked the Great Sun Xuanzhe, as well as Pei Rou Xuanzhe and another woman in a white gauze dress.

"Ah... I am Xie Tingting, thank you Zhou Xuanzhe for your generous gift."

The woman in white was somewhat excited, as if she had ascended from hell to heaven, and without any suspicion, she immediately took the elixir and swallowed it.

Zhou Yan didn’t deceive her, directly blessing her with the Undying Rebirth Technique, and then using a thread of Nirvana Fire to refine the potency within her body, not only restoring her lost cultivation but also helping her break through to another realm, reaching the peak of the Third Transformation Sword Void Realm.

After Xie Tingting recovered, her eyes clearly showed excitement, astonishment, and gratitude. If Zhou Yan hadn’t been so cold, she would have even wanted to bow deeply and kowtow in thanks.

"This place’s space is unstable. If you go in directly, nine out of ten will be erased and shredded by the Space Power, with no hope for the soul to escape.

I noticed this earlier on, which is why I had you send in a Void Body first to observe and derive the entrance process. However, the answer is now clear, so there’s no need for you to exert yourself further."

"You can follow me, matching my speed and frequency, and you should survive.

Believe it or not, it’s up to you."

Zhou Yan spoke, no longer lingering on words, focusing on the dazzling colors swirling inside the portal.

At a certain moment, when the brilliance grew even more abstruse, Zhou Yan suddenly moved, immediately darting into it.

Hearing Zhou Yan’s words, both the Great Sun Xuanzhe and Pei Rou Xuanzhe were visibly taken aback.

While they were still somewhat uncertain, Xie Tingting immediately maintained the same movement technique as Zhou Yan and dashed forward while simultaneously transmitting her voice to Pei Rou Xuanzhe and the others: "Hurry, follow quickly, don’t hesitate! Zhou Xuanzhe will not deceive us; for him, killing us would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

The moment Xie Tingting sent her transmission, the three Great Sun Xuanzhes’ expressions changed, and they madly kept pace with Xie Tingting’s movement technique, flying towards the entrance of the Nine Great Light Pillars’ portal.
