Chapter 646: Chapter 413 Her Everything (Tianyan Extra Final)

Ancient willows reached for the sky, their trunks broad and stout, as the two of them faced each other wordlessly.

At this moment, Xu Yuan felt he should say something.

For instance, that Tian Ye’s words were false, explanations of the sort that tried to suggest incitement and discord.

After all, in this era akin to a black society of cultivation, not believing any information divulged by enemies was the most basic quality for survival in this world.

But as the words reached his lips, they instead retreated back down his throat.

Such explanations would seem far too revealing in their attempt to cover up the truth.

The Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow had long harbored designs on his body, and faced with such a carefully prepared vessel-seizing plan from a Saint Level Ghost, he, Xu Yuan, as a mere Primordial, ought rightly and indeed to have no power to resist.

Yet, the reality was that he had survived and had even turned the tables to puppeteer the other party.

Tian Ye had glimpsed the clues; Tianyan, also a Saintess of Jiatiange, clearly couldn’t have failed to notice as well.

Moreover, compared to Tian Ye, Tianyan had lived with him for seven years.

Within this Illusionary Realm, no one was likely more aware of Xu Yuan’s uniqueness than Tianyan.

As a foreigner to the realm, yet he was able to naturally grow in cultivation with the passage of time, without any need to practice.

Add up all these details, and for Tianyan, arriving at that conclusion wouldn’t be difficult.

With these thoughts, Xu Yuan lifted his gaze toward the direction in which Tian Ye had departed.

He suddenly understood Tian Ye’s true intent.

Her words before she left weren’t intended to inform Tianyan, who most likely could deduce the outcome herself.

What Tian Ye wanted was to deny them any opportunity to pretend ignorance with each other.

She bluntly pierced through the fragile film between him and Tianyan, testing their human nature.

In this moment, Xu Yuan seemed to hear Tian Ye’s frivolous voice murmuring teasingly in his ear:

"Come on, kill her. If you don’t kill big sister Tianyan, she’ll kill you anytime~"

In silence,

Xu Yuan let out a soft breath and laughed in a sighing manner, "The next time we meet, I’ll personally twist off that bitch Tian Ye’s head."

Tianyan fell silent for a moment, her voice very soft:

"Are you... angry?"

Xu Yuan did not deny:

"In less than half a month, I’ve been schemed against by that woman several times, and it’s quite upsetting."

Although sometimes he enjoyed toying with human nature, he hated being on the receiving end, and if given the chance, he would teach that demoness, dead for twenty thousand years, a lesson she would never forget.

Upon hearing this, Tianyan’s lips curled into a complex smile:

"Killing her directly might not cause her any pain, it might even excite her more."

Xu Yuan fell silent for a while, then shook his head and laughed helplessly:

"That’s why I hate such crazy women. They can find your weaknesses, but you can’t grasp theirs; even if you kill them in the end, there’s no satisfaction of revenge."

Tianyan’s eyes curved slightly as she spoke softly:

"Then you’ll have to think hard about her weakness."

"Indeed," Xu Yuan nodded.

"....." Tianyan.

"....." Xu Yuan.

As the conversation ended, the two of them once again fell into silence.

In the end, Tian Ye’s scheme had succeeded yet again.

Her provocation had successfully begun to create a divide between him and Tianyan, or rather, suspicion.

Xu Yuan knew all too well that the mark of the Enchantress within him was the origin of this world, something both of them were acutely aware of.

As a Yin Ghost dissipated for twenty thousand years, the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow could only hope to return through possessing another’s body, but for Tianyan, an entrant into the Illusionary Realm, killing him would suffice to achieve that end.

Just like breaking a Formation, one could either forcefully shatter it with the power of the heavens and earth, or render it ineffective from the inside by destroying the formation’s key point.

If he were to die directly in the Illusionary Realm, the entire realm would naturally dissipate like smoke.

A cold wind brushed past, Xu Yuan’s eyes fluttered down, his thoughts in disarray.

At this moment, he was suddenly unsure of what to do.

From now on, he would have to be constantly wary of Tianyan’s sneak attacks, always suspecting whether she might destroy the source and escape the Illusionary Realm by killing him.

And more importantly, seven years of cohabitation had made it clear to him just how powerful Tianyan was.

If she were to return to her prime, even with his Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm and other trump cards, he wouldn’t stand a chance against her in a desperate fight.

The pink light gleamed across his slender phoenix eyes, and Xu Yuan glanced subconsciously at the Ghost Willow beneath his feet.

Rationally, he felt that he should kill her right now.

While he was still able to control this Saint Level ancient willow.

After all, human nature truly cannot withstand much testing.

The clash of Saints stirred up dust and mixed with the mist, as the piercing cold wind slashed across his cheeks.

Xu Yuan’s breath quickened slightly, emotions peeling away bit by bit, as the rational urge to kill took over his mind.

He and this Washboard Saintess were already enemies; by killing her here in the Sword Casting Valley, the Prime Minister’s Mansion would have one less formidable foe.

Moreover, with the Ghost Willow in the valley already perished and ghostly fog providing cover, he need not worry about the Heaven’s Watchtower Master’s divination and pursuit; with his capability, he could survive in Sword Casting Valley teeming with ghostly creatures.

To kill Tianyan...?

Their escape together was for survival, and they sought to survive in order to find a way out.

And now, an exit lay before him.

It meant that from the moment he was identified as the source of the Illusionary Realm, the foundation of all their previous cooperation had already collapsed, replaced by distrustful suspicion.

Just as he would suspect Tianyan of making a move on him, the Washboard Saintess would also suspect whether he would strike at her to save himself.
