"Oh, because I am the master of the Qianji Pavilion." Bai Su replies calmly. He glances at Su Tingyun, who is pale and disheveled, and he frowns slightly. He did not expect to find Xi Guang's physical body here. He has only been in this realm for a little over three hundred years. Although he knows some of the events that happened three thousand years ago, his knowledge is not complete. There is no orchid tongue grass in the underground palace of the Moon Worship Cult, so it has taken him two days to find it.
"At the speed that your Pheonix Feather Frame’s Spirit is weakening, she can last for about twenty years." Bai Su says, noticing that there’s not much change on Su Tingyun’s expression despite the blood on her neck. So he continues, "I can ensure that her primordial spirit will remain intact for three hundred years more!"
The Demon Venerable's eyes flashes red. He stares at Bai Su for a long time, then he laughs and says: "No wonder Qianji Pavilion is omniscient, it turns out that the Pavilion Master is someone from the Upper Realm."
This person may seem to have no spiritual energy in his body, but he can still make other people perceive that his spirit is extremely powerful, which is clearly a characteristic of a cultivator from the Upper Realm. Since he is someone from up there, he cannot use spiritual energy, and the Demon Venerable has nothing to be afraid of. He sits boldly sits down and pulls Su Tingyun up, making her lean against him before speaking: "If you can help me, I can naturally return this one to you."
After saying that, he removes the jade pendant from his chest, and the pitch-black Phoenix Feather Frame appears out of thin air, but it is not as big as usual. Right now, the carriage looks very delicate, and it is only the same size as the desk in the room. However, the phoenix tail feathers on it are swaying gently, making it look more lively and lifelike.
At this time, a woman in red is perched on the carriage. She sits up straight and smiles, her outstanding features could light up a room. But she is not solid, only a hazy mirage.
She is the spirit of the carriage, and is called Feng Ling by the Demon Venerable. At this moment, Feng Ling looks at Bai Su with expectant eyes, and she occasionally glances back at the Demon Venerable, the smile on her face becoming even more charming and enchanting. But when her gaze falls on Su Tingyun, her brows furrow. She is a device spirit, and her thoughts are simple. She has long regarded Xi Guang's body as her own, like a piece of clothing, and now she is unhappy to see someone else wearing it.
Bai Su takes out a silver doll and throws it over. As soon as the puppet hits the ground, it transforms into a real person, a green-clad woman holding a broom.
"This is my Bai family's secret technique. Her primordial spirit can possess this body. This is a Five Elements secret technique. As long as she doesn't leave the ground, she will remain exactly like a human."
Just like that silver fish, it looks exactly the same as a real fish as long as it’s in water, but turns into a silver leaf once it leaves the water.
After he says that, Feng Ling can’t wait to enter the woman's body. She moves so fast that even the Demon Venerable couldn't stop her. He is worried that the other party is plotting something, so he lowers the big knife in his hand a little, and the tip of it pierces Su Tingyun's chest. Blood gushes out, immediately soaking the already thin clothes.
Su Tingyun can actually leave this body now, she can just float outside, and at least then she won't feel pain. But she bears it and stays put. All along, she has kept in mind that this body has the cultivation base of a Tribulation Transcendent, and the Demon Venerable has not imposed too many restrictions on her body. Although his soul pressure has locked in on her, making her stiff and it’s difficult to move, she is not completely immobile.
She can move, but pretends that she can’t.
Bai Su can’t use his spiritual energy, he came here by himself. If there is any danger, she hopes that she could help.
Feng Ling enters the body of the green-clothed woman who is sweeping the floor, and the woman freezes.
Just as Demon Venerable's face turns more and more gloomy, the woman drops the broom in her hand and runs straight to Demon Venerable's side. She extends a trembling hand, and gently touches his cheek.
"Qingluan, I’m touching you." She touches him very carefully and very reverently. Her cold fingers brushes over his features, and gently presses against his cheek, her movements and expressions brim with tenderness.
This touch makes the Demon Venerable's eyes widen, and he could barely keep holding on to the knife in his hand.
Gaining a bit of distance from the tip of the knife, Su Tingyun gets a chance to breathe. She circulates her spiritual energy to stop the bleeding from the wound, barely. But just then, Feng Ling's movements suddenly freezes, and the woman changes back to her original form, then flies back right into Bai Su's palm.
Demon Venerable Qingluan's eyes turn blood red, his body fills up with murderous intent, and faint darkness surrounds him. He grits his teeth and bites out, "You dare deceive me?"
"Whyever would I deceive you?" Bai Su smiles coldly, pinches the silver puppet in his hand and says, "I’m just making a deal with you."
