Chapter 750: 750 and the power of Penglai Beiming! [2nd update]

The voice was very gentle, like a spring breeze softly brushing over the heart, causing a tremor.

It was as if lovers were whispering, tender and intertwining.

Just hearing the voice, Victoria felt as if she had fallen into some kind of illusion technique, her spirit becoming hazy.

The appearance of the voice caused Ye Wanlan and Yue Zheng to tremble as well.

In this world, only one person would call Yue Zheng "senior sister".

Beiming Cult Leader...

Xing Yun!

"Junior brother?!" Yue Zheng cried out, "weren’t you..."

She abruptly stopped her words.

Because Yue Zheng realized Xing Yun’s voice was resonating from inside her soul.

Her soul was vibrating, as if they had already become one.

"Senior sister isn’t well, how can I be at ease?" Xing Yun smiled, "Only senior sister’s safety matters most to me."

Ye Wanlan’s expression changed: "Cult Leader?"

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xing Yun’s voice became softer, "Seeing my senior sister before was already fulfilling, but Her Royal Highness’s presence truly reassures me."

He once joined forces with Yue Zheng and the Supreme Elder of the Great Purity Sect to divine the prophecy: "If Princess Yongning does not die, Daning will not fall."

They had considered helping her avoid calamities, but fate is predetermined, and escaping is never easy.

Yet, even destiny has its errors sometimes.

Princess Yongning returned to the Shenzhou Land Continent that birthed and raised her.

Three hundred years flickered by, and his mission was over.

So let him use his last bit of power to help Yue Zheng occupy this Atlantean’s body!

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Shenzhou is entrusted to you." Xing Yun’s voice shifted to serious, "Senior sister, I entrust you too!"

"Buzz buzz——"

Fierce winds swept the earth, sands howled.

Victoria was completely immobilized, including her soul!

She couldn’t move, but her soul was being devoured by this foreign power.

The power not only consumed her soul but also nourished Yue Zheng!

Victoria’s soul grew weaker and weaker, while Yue Zheng’s soul became more and more solid.

"What is this!" There was alarm in Victoria’s voice, "Xiang Lan, what did you do! Tell me Xiang Lan!"

Ye Wanlan wiped the blood from her lips and looked coldly at Victoria: "This is obsession."

When Xing Yun’s voice appeared, she already knew Xing Yun was not here, nor had he left any soul behind.

Unlike Xie Linyuan, who could summon back with weapons.

Rather, it was an imprint left deep within Yue Zheng’s soul, his last obsession in this world.

This obsession was so strong, left to protect Yue Zheng.

Even for an Alpha Level Divine Bloodline, the Beiming Cult Leader’s obsession was irresistible.

How could Yue Zheng not feel her soul was repairing, yet her expression was somewhat aghast: "Junior brother, stop! Quickly stop!"

"No... no!" Upon realizing she was really going to disappear from this world, Victoria finally panicked, "Supreme Wisdom Lord! I know you must be aware of my plight, please save me! Save your sincere believer!"

However, no one responded to her.

Victoria screamed one last time, eventually turning to nothing, her soul completely dissipating from this world.

With it vanished, Xing Yun’s obsession as well.

Using the combined power of Penglai and Beiming, Yue Zheng successfully occupied the body, yet she was not joyful.

"..."

Silence blanketed the space.

"Junior brother." After a long, long silence, Yue Zheng finally spoke softly, "Since childhood, your temper was stubborn, master punished you many times, yet you refused to change."

Ye Wanlan listened quietly.

There were many rumors about Xing Yun in Jianghu, saying he was not valued by his sect so he defected to join Beiming Sect.

Others rumored that he disregarded sect rules, falling in love with his senior sister, thus being rejected by the sect.

Now, it seems these rumors were mere gossip.

The truth, only the involved parties know.

"You told master you only listened to senior sister, so he appointed me to oversee you." Yue Zheng’s fingers clenched tighter, unable to hold back her anger, "Small matters you heeded me, but major ones you were still headstrong!"

No response came, only a gentle breeze that stirred fragments of leaves on the ground.

Three hundred years ago, Xing Yun gave up his chance at life, at the last moment shielding her soul.

Three hundred years later, his obsession helped her return to Shenzhou.

But the price was—

Forever vanished, never entering reincarnation.

Yue Zheng choked with emotion: "Was it worth it? Was it really worth it?"

In talent, Xing Yun was superior.

Though Mount Penglai did not only accept female disciples like Heavenly Sound Sect, each Sect Leader had to be a woman born under pure Yin.

If Xing Yun were not at Mount Penglai, he might have developed better.

Later when Xing Yun left the sect, she secretly escorted him until he joined Beiming Sect, only then she felt relieved.

Beiming Sect and Mount Penglai’s arts originate from Taoist Arts, but Beiming Sect is more extreme.

"Extreme Path", the term, spread from Beiming Sect throughout Jianghu.

Xing Yun lived up to his talent, embarking on the path of "Extreme Path", boosting his power and garnering peerless cultivation.

If not for protecting her soul and leaving an imprint on her soul, with Xing Yun’s aptitude, he could have safeguarded himself.

But was it really worth it?

"Saintess." Ye Wanlan slowly knelt, her hand pressing Yue Zheng’s shoulder, "Whether it’s worth it is not for us to say, everyone has their own perspective on what’s worthwhile."

As many people once asked Princess Yongning, venturing to quell a pandemic, perishing from illness, was it worth it?

Ye Wanlan believed it was worth it.

As a ruler, dying for the people is an honor.

Yue Zheng’s hands pressed into the ground, with nails deeply embedded in the soil, gritting her teeth: "But he..."

The final obsession vanished, all traces of Xing Yun in this world erased.

And she was powerless, unable to keep him.

She, as a senior sister, was indeed too incompetent!

Yue Zheng clenched her fists again, murmuring: "There will always be a way."

The world is vast, filled with wonders.

She would surely find a way to bring Xing Yun back to life.

Now was not the time for sorrow.

Since she had returned, she must assume her previous responsibilities.

"I do not quite like this appearance." Yue Zheng glanced at her hands, lightly shaking her head, "I request Her Royal Highness the Princess for a human skin mask."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow: "You knew I came prepared."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess always said she doesn’t achieve the level of unerring strategy, because You are not a god." Yue Zheng smiled slightly, "But to me, Your capabilities surpass God significantly."

Because there are no gods in this world, nor so-called Heavenly Immortals descending.

Every time, countless ordinary people strive tirelessly.

Ye Wanlan handed over the human skin mask, "You cannot presently show yourself, I will use Penglai Magic to perform an Eye Shielding Technique, and we’ll decide our next move upon returning to Shenzhou."

Yue Zheng gently nodded: "Everything is as Her Royal Highness the Princess says. I also need a few days to rest and adapt to this body."

Victoria had died, naturally, the formation she set broke.

Before outsiders could see inside, Ye Wanlan deployed the Eye Shielding Technique and escorted Yue Zheng out.

"Broken!" The Second Elder of the Romanov Family rejoiced, dancing in delight, "Your Majesty, Clan Leader, the formation is broken!"

Empress Angelina’s heart tightened, she stepped forward immediately.

Upon finding the other four alive except Victoria Monroe, she sighed with relief: "Sulya, treat them immediately."

Mei En’s injuries were the lightest among the three, she woke up very quickly.

"When I was unconscious, I seemed to hear someone calling Xiang Lan?" Mei En tapped her head, "Did you hear it?"

Xing Yue and Rong Qi exchanged glances, both slowly shaking their heads.

Aside from the noisy sounds, they heard nothing else.

Mei En looked at Ye Wanlan again: "Rong Si, did you?"

"Never." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "Perhaps she was begging for mercy, and you misheard."

"Misheard?" Mei En slowly lifted her head.
