Chapter 702: Chapter Four Hundred Thirty-Six: Exposed_2

Lou Ji exhaled gently and said with a light laugh,

"Have you finished what you have to say?"

A flicker of amusement crossed Taishiran’s eyes:

"I have finished."

"Then go to die."

As the words of Lou Ji fell,

countless red sprouts abruptly grew from the ground around Taishiran, and the bewitching scent they emitted almost instantly clouded his mind.

The reason she had spoken so much to this Mortal Transcendence from Jiatiange was to quietly prepare this Spellcraft.

Lou Ji wanted to capture the other party alive.

Just as her Spellcraft was about to be fully formed, a regretful smile crossed the increasingly dull face of Taishiran, who opened his mouth and uttered the last words of his life:

"Chief Lou, no need to take action, see you in hell."

As the words ended,

his body began to swell rapidly, and the Sumeru Ring on his fingertip emitted a dazzling light in an instant.

Meanwhile,

the bodies of the withered old man and the beautiful middle-aged woman underwent a similar transformation.

Three thunderous explosions resonated through the heavens.

The violent blast of air rushed forth, and fiery flames erupted into three mushroom-shaped black clouds among the dark fog.

Seeing Taishiran choose to commit suicide without any hesitation, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of Lou Ji, who stood upon the void.

It seems that while she was preparing the mesmerizing Spellcraft, he was also preparing to erase his existence.

When the dust settled,

Lou Ji immediately extended her Will-spirit and Origin Qi to probe below, but everything down there had already turned into nothingness.

Just as Taishiran had promised, he had erased every trace of himself from this world on his own.

The Energy Mechanism, the corpses, and traces of Spellcraft had all been cleansed away.

Realizing this, Lou Ji glanced once more at the deep pit blasted out by Taishiran and then withdrew her gaze, not lingering for even a second.

That man was indeed a character for having the resolve to stay true to his heart, but that was all.

Taishiran wasn’t the first person of this kind to die by her hand, nor would he be the last.

Her gaze fell towards the depths of the mist, where, to Lou Ji’s senses, the fog was gradually closing in, and Changtian, that boy, had once again disappeared from her perception.

After a moment’s contemplation, Lou Ji did not immediately choose to rush over. She glanced around, found a relatively clean area, sat down cross-legged, and took out several high-grade healing and Qi replenishing Elixir Medicines from the Sumeru Ring to consume.

After Luo Bingli’s Spellcraft had dispelled the fog, everything that had happened during the battle was fully captured by her Energy Mechanism.

Just as Taishiran said, Changtian had indeed become a monster.

After several fierce battles, given her current state, she wasn’t completely certain she could subdue him without harming his life.

"This kid really is a handful..."

As she lazily muttered, Lou Ji slowly closed her eyes and began to meditate and recuperate.

For a moment, within Huizhou County, which had turned into a ghost town, there was silence.

The Energy Mechanism around Lou Ji gradually condensed, and the injuries she had suffered in the battle began to heal rapidly, visibly to the naked eye.

However, this quiet didn’t last long.

"Da..."

"Da..."

"Da..."

Soft footsteps suddenly echoed in the silent dark fog.

Hearing this gentle sound, Lou Ji slowly opened her tightly shut eyes, seeming to have sensed it beforehand, and looked towards a spot a hundred yards to her side.

There, a woman appeared, dressed in a lake-blue palace dress.

Luo Xiran walked slowly out from the black fog and in a few breaths arrived about ten feet in front of Lou Ji, silently settling the skirt of her lavish dress as she sat down opposite her.

The two women locked eyes for a moment,

and Lou Ji, with a hint of teasing in her beautiful eyes, was the first to break the silence:

"I thought you, an ancient from Jiatiange, had already died."

Luo Xiran maintained a calm and graceful demeanor as she replied softly:

"The aberration that has occurred in that boy is akin to my current state; he did not strike at me."

"Is that so?"

Lou Ji murmured doubtfully, and then with her enchanting purple eyes half-narrowed, she added, "But from what you’ve said, am I to understand that you know the cause of Changtian’s current state? Or should I say... it has something to do with your contribution."

Luo Xiran looked at the malice in the other’s gaze, her expression still calm as she replied softly:

"Chief Lou, being overly suspicious is not a good trait, I am not your enemy."

While continuing to recuperate her injuries, Lou Ji responded softly,

"Being suspicious is a necessary trait for sitting where I do. As to whether you are an enemy..."

She paused,

her voice suddenly softening charmingly as she continued with a smile:

"I don’t believe you are. However, Changtian said something to make me trust you. Would you like to know what it was?"

"What was it?"

"He is the fruit of your life’s work."

"......"

After a moment of eye contact, Luo Xiran nodded gently:

"Indeed he is."

"What fruit..."

Lou Ji frowned slightly and asked reflexively, then stopped herself and said instead, "Never mind, I’m not curious about what fruit it is, what I’m curious about is whether this fruit is related to Changtian’s current state."

Luo Xiran did not deny it:

"It’s related."

Lou Ji’s frown deepened, her words coming out slowly and deliberately:

"He once said he, along with that girl Li Qingyan, killed the ascended Barbarian King when he was in the Northern Frontier. You must have been with him at the time?"

Luo Xiran sighed:

"This brat really tells you everything, doesn’t he?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Ji let out a chuckle, her smile radiant:
