Chapter 860: Chapter 420: Another Treasure Acquired

Jiang Wan’s beautiful eyes fell on the nine fox tails gently swaying behind Ye Zhuchan, and she said lightly:

"That nine-tailed fox demon was suppressed in the Capital, always tightly imprisoned by the Wuchan Temple. Normally, it should be extremely difficult to escape.

Not to mention, allowing others to borrow her Demon Soul’s power. Yet you managed to do it, quite some means you have. Speak directly, what do you seek from me this time?"

"I came to apologize to Master Uncle."

Ye Zhuchan lowered her head slightly, speaking softly.

Jiang Wan’s willow-like brows furrowed gently, forming a graceful arc: "Apologize for what?"

Ye Zhuchan met Jiang Wan’s gaze: "Back then, Master Uncle, you exhausted yourself to extract the Asura Demonic Qi from Qingchen, sealing it within the South Sea Holy Sect’s forbidden land to keep her safe.

But in order to deal with some enemies and eager to enhance my cultivation, I absorbed the Asura Demonic Qi. Later, when I couldn’t return it, I had no choice but to graft the Asura Demonic Qi back to Qingchen..."

"So it was you!"

Jiang Wan’s eyes shot out an icy glint like ice blades.

She suddenly waved her hands, the surrounding Spiritual Energy responding instantly, countless Sword Qi gradually taking shape, and the chilling sword points all aimed at Ye Zhuchan.

Faced with pressing death threats, Ye Zhuchan remained calm:

"Zhuchan understands, back then Master Uncle exhausted great effort to extract the Asura Demonic Qi from Qingchen, intending to save her from misery.

However, Master Uncle, you should have realized that this method was just a temporary measure, addressing symptoms not the root cause. Sooner or later, Qingchen will eventually become the Asura Queen, falling into the abyss."

"But you...shouldn’t have touched my daughter either!"

Jiang Wan’s fair wrist turned, a series of Sword Qi whizzed toward Ye Zhuchan.

The Sword Qi pierced through Ye Zhuchan’s body, yet her figure merely flickered, like an illusory bubble, only causing a faint ripple phantom.

Subsequently, the nine fox tails behind her suddenly bloomed, as magnificent as blossoming lotuses.

With a light sway of the tails, a powerful force burst forth, shaking all the incoming Sword Qi away, transforming into little sparks of spiritual light that dissipated in the air.

"Only my sword heart!"

Jiang Wan formed sealing hand signs, a sword technique pinched together, the airflow around her seemed to be drawn, intertwining tightly.

Bang—

A loud explosion, shock waves radiating outwards.

Jiang Wan and Ye Zhuchan retreated several zhang, passing through collapsing cliff rocks, surprisingly carving out a clearing, dust billowing.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhuchan’s figure dimmed somewhat.

She sighed gently, her eyes revealing admiration: "Master Uncle truly is an Immortal among swords, even just inhabiting someone else’s body, achieving such cultivation."

"You’re not bad either, some skills you have."

Jiang Wan’s lips curled into a cold smile, her beautiful eyes shifting to the shivering Heavenly Dog Divine Demon beside, "Stupid dog, what are you standing there for? Not going to take action?"

The Heavenly Dog Divine Demon raised its head and roared in anger, fur bristling, surrounded by boiling flames, the momentum aggressive.

"Hmm?"

Ye Zhuchan casually glanced over, her gaze seemingly lacking obvious coercion, but exuding a chilling serenity that instilled fear.

The originally fervent momentum of the Heavenly Dog Divine Demon instantly dissipated, like an eggplant hit by frost, stunned for a moment, then immediately withered, curling up its massive body.

In a dilemma, it simply "thumped" down stiffly to the ground, closed its eyes tight, pretending to be unconscious.

"Stupid dog."

Jiang Wan, seeing this, muttered a low curse, then gracefully raised her jade hand, pointing to the sky, "Sword of the Masses!"

Seeing her opponent getting serious, Ye Zhuchan couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache, showing some helplessness on her face, she softly said:

"Master Uncle, after all, we are one family. Eventually, I will be Jiang Shouzhong’s woman, as will Qingchen. In the future, when we have children, the children will have to call us aunt. Why strain the relationship to such a point?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wan’s expression turned rather peculiar.

She scrutinized Ye Zhuchan from top to bottom, shaking her head slightly, saying:

"Although I’m not clear about your true identity, or your purpose in doing all this, I don’t see you as one trapped by romantic feelings.

Moreover, why do you think Jiang Shouzhong, after knowing you harmed Qingchen, would forgive you? After all, she weighs quite heavily in his heart. Only that girl Qu Hongling can be counted halfway."

Ye Zhuchan faintly smiled: "Because I’m the first woman that Brother Jiang likes, and because I... killed eighty-one possessed Immortals in Anhe Village for Brother Jiang, almost costing myself."

Jiang Wan’s pupils contracted sharply, her face full of shock and doubt.

After a long while, she spoke with a complex expression: "Jiang Shouzhong, who exactly is he?"

Ye Zhuchan gently tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, smiling as she said:

"Actually, as a disciple, I’m not clear either, but the one thing I can ascertain is that he is not of this world. Moreover, he possesses the Heavenly Divine Fortune. To be more precise, he himself is the Heavenly Divine Fortune."

"What!?"

Even with Jiang Wan’s usual calm demeanor, she couldn’t help but be surprised upon hearing this.

Suddenly realizing something, Jiang Wan laughed coldly:

"You girl, quite the schemer, laying a step earlier, binding the Heavenly Divine Fortune securely to yourself. All this talk of romance is merely a setup for that boy, driven by interests."

Ye Zhuchan’s smile dimmed slightly: "If Master Uncle thinks that way, I have nothing to say."

Jiang Wan looked towards the Pagoda within the distant City Lord Mansion, saying: "He’s inside, do you want to see him?"

Seeing Ye Zhuchan remain silent, Jiang Wan wore a "seeing through you" expression:

"You don’t dare to see him? Why don’t you dare? Because you feel guilty. You approached him with intentions from the start."
