Chapter 145: 145th Palms Su Yao: Can I have another dab?

With a thought, the bright moon occupying the sky, along with the surging Azure Sea, both began to recede and fade away.

Only then did Liang Hui turn his gaze toward the battlefield.

The Gobi Desert surrounding them for nearly a thousand meters had sunk more than ten meters.

The scorch marks from the lightning and the slashes from the Sword Qi filled the battlefield.

Liang Hui glanced at the Stone Gate that had broken into several pieces, a touch of helplessness surfacing in his heart.

Although the fierce fight between the two had intentionally avoided the Stone Gate,

the aftermath still caused the Stone Gate to fracture, and the cave dwelling behind it was now buried who knows where.

At this moment, Liang Hui did not immediately begin to pick up the fragments of the Stone Gate on the ground.

He slightly turned his head and looked toward a rock face a kilometer away.

"Since you’re here, come out."

"Heh! Heh!"

Amidst the bell-like laughter,

a girl dressed in a blue gown stepped out from behind the rock face, her lotus steps graceful, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"It’s been a while, my liege,"

"Congratulations on defeating your enemy."

Surprise was evident in her voice, with not the slightest attempt at concealment.

Even she was marvelling at the youth’s rapid growth. In just a couple of years, Liang Hui had caught up to her in terms of Realm.

Liang Hui watched the approaching girl, using Mana to disperse the petals on his wrist.

"If you purposely left a way to locate me, speak directly about what you want."

"It truly saddens me. Is this how my liege treats his lover?"

"I’ve given my all to love my liege, or could it be there’s someone else in your heart?"

"Divine Maiden? Shu Yu?"

A misty haze formed in the girl’s eyes as if tears could fall at any moment.

Liang Hui’s lips curved into a smile quite different from the one in his future memories – whether she was intentionally imitating or something else didn’t concern him.

In this life, after all, their relationship was nothing more than one of mutual benefit.

He turned and began collecting the pieces of the Stone Gate from the ground on his own.

Su Yao watched the figure of the youth bending down to pick up the pieces, the mist in her eyes dispersing to reveal a lively and crafty sparkle.

"Hui, do you want to know the hidden rules of the Tianyuan Secret Realm? Or perhaps the secrets of the Tianyuan Sword Sect?"

"Tell me."

Liang Hui paused for a moment, his expression showing a hint of curiosity.

He knew very little about the secrets of the Secret Realm and the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and if he could master more, it would indeed be very convenient.

"The Tianyuan Secret Realm can sever all connections with the outside world. Whether it’s transmitting information or leaving behind a precaution against death, none can be used."

"Meaning, if you die in the Secret Realm, you’re truly dead."

Upon hearing this, Liang Hui lightly tapped his forehead and placed the last fragment of the Stone Gate into his bosom.

Approaching the girl, he looked carefully at Su Yao, her delicate, flawless face.

"Good news indeed, this will allow me to send some rats on their way with peace of mind."

"The Tianyuan Sword Sect, I’ve only heard it was an incredibly powerful Cultivation Technique. What kind of secrets are there?"

"The Tianyuan Sword Sect?"

Su Yao’s beautiful eyes carried memories as she thought of the information she had gathered.

"It shouldn’t be said to be just incredibly powerful. Six hundred years ago, in the era of Li Muxuan, the Tianyuan Sword Sect was the most powerful force in the world."

"Rumors say that Li Muxuan’s Cultivation Technique was aligned with the natural order, reaching the Primordial Spirit Peak, earning him the title of number one person in the world."

"That strong? Interesting."

Liang Hui looked composed as he took out a sharp sword from his spatial storage and strapped it to his waist.

Setting aside the fact that this person has long since perished, even if he had managed to survive till now, there was nothing noteworthy about him.

In a few years’ time, his own fists would let the world know what it means to be truly unmatched.

"To you, it is indeed nothing but interesting,"

"I believe it won’t be long before my liege surpasses Li Muxuan."

Su Yao’s expression was sincere.

This was indeed her true thought, the youth before her had braved the most difficult moment of his life.

At this time, he was like a hidden dragon in the abyss, ready to soar at any moment.

"But no matter how splendid Li Muxuan was six hundred years ago, he, along with his entire sect, became history following a breakthrough retreat."

"Nobody knows what happened? All we know is that after Li Muxuan retreated, the Tianyuan Sword Sect became the secret realm beneath our feet," Su Yao slowly said.

The young man nodded, a few strands of solemnity gradually appearing in his eyes, and his heart also held some speculation.

"You haven’t said yet, why you sought me out."

Liang Hui shifted the topic, repeating the words he had started with.

Su Yao’s pretty face bore a charming smile as she extended her fair, tender palm.

Her palm, as white as jade, emitted a faint luminescence, full of allure.

Liang Hui’s brows lightly furrowed, but still, he reached out his finger and clasped the jade hand.

Green Inner Strength began to flow through their palms into the young girl’s body, and Liang Hui sensed and examined the array of restrictions one by one.

As time passed, the young man’s expression grew uglier.

The myriad restrictions far exceeded the normal means of control employed by the Demonic Path over their subordinates.

And the treatment Su Yao received made the reason easy to guess.

He withdrew his palm, no longer probing.

Liang Hui’s expression was serious.

"I will erase these restrictions right now! Given the environment of this place, the one who set up the restrictions won’t be able to detect it."

"And after that?"

Su Yao chuckled softly, her shoulders trembling slightly as if the restrictions weren’t carved into her.

A gentle breeze blew, rustling her clothes, her fair skin even more beautiful against the sand.

"The secret realm will eventually come to an end, and me without restrictions will surely be discovered. There are only a few people in the world who could remove these restrictions without harm," she stated.

"It’s likely that you will be the only one I interact with in the secret realm."

"When the time comes, the Demon Spirit Sect will surely find your trail."

Liang Hui listened to the young girl’s words that seemed to consider his wellbeing.

Even if he knew there was a deliberate element to it, his inner feelings were still quite complex.

His fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of his sword, his expression inscrutable.

"What do you propose?"

"I need a fallback that can clear these restrictions at any given moment."

"I can provide you with intelligence, Cultivation Techniques, resources, and everything I possess."

"Hah!"

Liang Hui chuckled lightly, without immediately responding.

His gaze was deep as he watched the young girl, a good calculation, worthy of you—Su Yao.

The two locked gazes.

One appeared like an unfathomable abyss devoid of any emotion; the other displayed nothing but sincerity.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Ten minutes!

Only then did Liang Hui slowly extend his palm, and the Flowing Light Bell in his mind trembled slightly.

A trace of Eternal Radiance, imperishable and indestructible, gathered between his palms, constantly shifting shape under the guidance of his will.

Soon, an illusory bronze bell floated above his palm.

"A trace of radiance, enough to erase all the restrictions within your body."

"But such an Eternal Radiance, within your body, will also allow me to kill you at any moment."

Snap!

Su Yao stretched out her palm, receiving the illusory radiance, looking at the bronze bell floating above it.

She felt the essence within it, capable of devastating the common people and suppressing the endless ages.

Then, she swallowed it in one gulp.

"Hui, if you don’t feel at ease, you can grant me another trace of radiance," Su Yao suggested with a smile, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She quietly felt the Eternal Light that had hidden itself upon entering her body.
