455: Chapter 455 Possessed by an Evil Clan!

"Disciple, what is wrong with you?"

Pei Yuening was the first to notice that Ji Taichang's expression was slightly off; she hurriedly reached out to touch Ji Taichang's forehead, her cold, beautiful face full of concern.

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu followed Ji Taichang's gaze.

She saw a group of several dozen people strolling through the bustling, lively streets of the ancient city. They were almost all young men and women, each looking imposing and outstanding, clearly Prodigies of extraordinary strength.

The woman leading them wore a fluttering white garment, possessing an extraordinary temperament, with skin like ice and bones like jade, resembling a Fairy who did not eat the food of the mortal world.

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu asked curiously, "They are Disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Young Master, do you know them?"

Ji Taichang took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Senior Zhao, who is that woman in white leading them?"

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu replied casually, "That is Bai Ling, the previous Saintess of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. It is said she possesses a powerful special Physique and just reached the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm a few years ago. She is also a top Genius in Tianlan Province and is very famous."

Pei Yuening, Yao Yao, and the others also looked over, feeling that Bai Ling's figure was graceful and her temperament transcendent, truly worthy of the name of a Prodigy.

But in the line of sight of Ji Taichang's Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes.

He saw Bai Ling lift her head, and as those icy, pure eyes met Ji Taichang's, her normally Human Race body instantly twisted, transforming into an extremely strange and terrifying appearance.

Her upper body remained Human Race, but it was covered in purple-black veins, while her lower body was a mass of twisted tentacles resembling an octopus.

The tentacles had no suckers, but instead, pairs upon pairs of eerie eyes!

The monster smiled sweetly at Ji Taichang, lips slightly parted, and slowly spoke a sentence.

"We meet again."

At this moment, Ji Taichang's consciousness was somewhat dazed, his gaze unfocused.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, why do you keep staring at her? You aren't falling in love with everyone you see, are you?"

Just then, Yun Zhi pouted, looking somewhat unhappy, and grabbed Ji Taichang's arm.

The soft sensation on his arm instantly pulled Ji Taichang back to reality.

He looked again, his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes active, but Bai Ling was still a human with an aura of Immortal Qi, as if the strange monster from just a moment ago had been a hallucination!

Cold sweat dripped down Ji Taichang's forehead.

He knew clearly that what he had just seen could absolutely not have been a hallucination; it was a flaw the other party had deliberately revealed, allowing him to discover it!

The other party was not afraid of Ji Taichang knowing her true identity at all, acting as composed as a cat playing with a mouse!

"Disciple, you... did you discover something?"

Pei Yuening noticed that Ji Taichang's expression was becoming increasingly ugly; her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face became somewhat grave.

Because she knew that Ji Taichang possessed the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes and could see many things they could not.

Ji Taichang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, word by word, "That Bai Ling... is the tentacle suspected to be of the Evil Race that we encountered in the spatial turbulence last time!"

"Or rather... she has been possessed by that Evil Race tentacle!"

Last time, Pei Yuening had taken Ji Taichang and found a land fragment in the spatial turbulence, obtaining the bronze ancient palace, and they had also encountered the Zi Yan, as well as that tentacle which had escaped!

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu naturally knew of this matter.

She and Pei Yuening were both greatly shocked upon hearing this!

Yao Yao, Yun Zhi, and the others were somewhat bewildered, having never heard of this incident.

"That tentacle suspected to be of the Evil Race actually possessed Bai Ling... Young Master, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu's somewhat youthful face also became serious and grave.

When they were at the land fragment, that tentacle had just broken free and was at its weakest, yet Qiu Han had to use the power of the Immortal Monarch Realm just to barely repel it; he hadn't been able to leave it behind at all.

Now that the tentacle had rested and recuperated for many days and had possessed a Prodigy of the Golden Immortal Realm, no one knew how much of its cultivation and strength it had recovered!

"I definitely did not see wrong!" Ji Taichang replied decisively.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu rubbed her brow, "The Evil Race perished long ago, and Holy Heaven Island does not have many records about them; I fear they are not easy to deal with."

"The Evil Race is an unknown existence, and I do not know what her purpose is, or whether she is friend or foe..."

Pei Yuening suggested, "Can we secretly contact the high-level experts of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and have them take action to suppress her?"

"We can try, but it might not be effective."

Ji Taichang was not optimistic about this, "This matter sounds too absurd; the Heavenly Dragon Sect will likely not believe it. Moreover, her concealment methods are extremely brilliant; once she hides with all her might, even I find it difficult to see through..."

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu said, "I will go contact the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect; regardless of whether it is effective or not, we must try."

While everyone was talking.

Bai Ling and the group of Heavenly Dragon Sect Disciples had already walked into another street and gradually disappeared from view.

Ji Taichang quietly gripped his jade pendant and sent a message to Luo Qingxian.

But this time, Luo Qingxian did not reply immediately, and it was unknown if she had encountered something.

A moment later.

Ji Taichang and his party arrived at a spacious courtyard in the ancient city to rendezvous with the people from Holy Heaven Island.

In the courtyard, there were two hundred and ninety Disciples and deacons of Holy Heaven Island, plus the ten people from Benlei Sect, making exactly three hundred people.

"Mother, Young Master Ji..."

When the Zi Yan saw Ji Taichang and his party appear, a happy smile appeared on her bright, beautiful face.

Her appearance was clear, beautiful, and transcendent, and beneath her curved, delicate eyebrows were a pair of clear, cold almond eyes.

The Zi Yan was dressed today in a light purple flowing cloud long dress, the hem embroidered with silver-threaded spirit bamboo patterns, the cuffs and collar adorned with pearly white jade. Her long hair was loosely tied into a cloud-hanging bun, inserted with a simple jade hairpin, and her temperament was cold and ethereal.

Behind her, the group of young Prodigies from Holy Heaven Island also looked in unison at the people from Benlei Sect, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Everyone, they are the honored guests from Benlei Sect."

"Zi Yan, you take Young Master Ji and the others to interact and get to know the Disciples within the island well..."

Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu wore a beaming smile and, without a trace, took the small hand of the Zi Yan and placed it in Ji Taichang's palm.

This action was as if she were entrusting her daughter to Ji Taichang, causing a blush to appear on the pretty face of the Zi Yan.

But she did not pull her hand away; instead, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, somewhat shyly.

It was unknown if she was truly interested in Ji Taichang, or if it was because of the "guidance" from Sheng Tian Island Master Zhao Xianglu during this period.

"No—"

This scene caused the pupils of many male Disciples of Holy Heaven Island to shrink sharply, their hearts trembling, as if something had shattered.

For a moment, their eyes seemed to be spitting fire, filled with envy and jealousy.

Pei Yuening's gaze fell on the tightly clasped hands of Ji Taichang and the Zi Yan, and she snorted coldly in her heart, feeling somewhat displeased.

"This woman truly has bad intentions; she still hasn't given up and even wants to poach from my Benlei Sect..."

Qin Shishi and Luo Yulian exchanged a glance; the two women were quite calm and did not mind if Ji Taichang had another woman.
