Chapter 857: Chapter 536: Heart Turmoil_3

The problem was that he didn’t quite know what to say; after all, Xiao Bai’s "Six Arts of Primordial Chaos" had indeed been taught by Tianyan and Li Qingyan.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Ran Qingmo beside him, only to see her staring intently at Bai Muxi, her pair of ebony eyes still tranquil and beautiful, betraying no hint of her thoughts.

With a light cough, Xu Yuan deftly changed the subject,

"That’s quite good. After we get out, you’ll come with me to a place."

At his words, Bai Muxi’s eyes lifted slightly.

Xu Yuan smiled gently,

"You must have been quite anxious these past few months, right? I haven’t forgotten my promise to you. Your clan members have already been dispatched by this young master to be rescued. This trip is to handle some additional matters."

Bai Muxi’s pupils constricted, and with lowered brows and a bowed head, she knelt directly onto the ground, prostrating herself, then bent at the waist,

"Thank you, Third Young Master. Mu Xi has nothing to repay you with, except to..."

"No need for the next life; being indebted in this one with servitude is also fine."

Xu Yuan hurriedly interrupted her ritual with a jest, then, stepping forward, he reached out and helped Xiao Bai up from the ground with one hand, his sword-bearing arm aiding her tender arm—implying something more:

"I just hope that the official from the Underground Palace named Qin Yuan won’t disappoint me."

A flicker of emotion appeared in Bai Muxi’s eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted into a soft, watery smile,

"Please rest assured, young master. Qin Yuan’s abilities far surpass those of Mu Xi. The promises he made in the Underground Palace, he will certainly fulfill."

"Oh, is that so?"

Xu Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth, "Then I’ll look forward to it."

After saying this, he released Xiao Bai and the Willow Ghost Blade in his hand drew a pattern of blade flowers in the air as he looked towards Lou Ji,

"Sister, how do I proceed?"

"...."

Lou Ji, who had been enjoying the show, saw the excitement end rather quickly, pointed slightly bored towards Luo Xiran,

"Do you see those three clumps of black medicine floating in mid-air?"

"Of course."

"The one on the left is the body, the right one is the head, and the middle one is the heart."

"Then what?"

"For the one in the middle, plunge the blade into it."

"Alrighty." Xu Yuan walked over with a smile.

"Remember not to stab through it," Lou Ji reminded.

"I’m not an idiot," Xu Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Maybe," Lou Ji shrugged her shoulders.

"Tsk...."

Smacking his lips, Xu Yuan slowly walked over to Luo Xiran, looked at this older, righteous younger sister and smiled,

"Little sister, long time no see."

Because the Black Death Mycelial Mat had not yet been completely restored, Luo Xiran’s body still resembled that of a young girl. At the sight of this impudent youngster, she huffed,

"Just do it if you’re going to do it, and cut the chatter."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly,

"Ah? But I had someone bring your physical body along with them from the Underground Palace. Aren’t you going to thank me a little..."

Luo Xiran’s delicate features slightly stiffened as she took a deep breath and interrupted,

"Elder brother by oath... do you need Xiran’s assistance?"

"No need, just step aside."

"...." Luo Xiran walked away with clenched fists.

Observing the three clumps of black medicine floating in mid-air, Xu Yuan muttered to himself how different the world of cultivation was—with no need for a vessel, they could just float there—while he slowly raised the Willow Ghost Blade in his hand.

Then,

He plunged it in abruptly.

Infused with Yin Source, his Spiritual Vision spiraled up the blade, quickly finding its way along the heart’s pathways to the gland Lou Ji had mentioned.

After a brief contemplation, he channeled his Spiritual Vision into it.

A moment of silence,

"Hum——"

A wave of invisible ripples suddenly spread from the heart of the Saint, and at the same moment, a thunderous roar rang in Xu Yuan’s mind.

The backlash came unexpectedly,

His head spun, and a buzzing filled his ears.

As consciousness slipped into darkness and his body fell backward into a fragrant and soft embrace, Xu Yuan faintly heard Lou Ji’s low chuckle,

"It’s done, Xinyao, quickly activate the Formation to extract the Boundary Void Stone..."

And he heard another voice as well, likely Tian Ye’s, tinged with a barely perceptible murderous intent:

"Xu Yuan, you really know how to have fun, attracting yet another Saint to trouble this old mother...."
