Chapter 151 Ye Qingcheng Reunited
Two Lei Family Disciples dressed in purple robes stood guard in front of the stele, holding long blades engraved with thunder patterns. Their auras were both at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, and they scanned their surroundings with vigilant eyes.
"Who is spying here?" The Disciple on the left sensed a disturbance, swung his long blade, and a thunder snake as thick as a bowl lashed out directly at the bushes where Lin Yue was hiding.
Lin Yue did not dodge or evade. The golden light of the prajna divine armor around his body surged, the lion-head mark lit up, and the "Lei Sha Shield" instantly deployed.
The thunder snake collided with the shield and instantly dissipated, transforming into pure thunder power that was absorbed by the shield. He leaped out with the zhensha divine staff in hand. Black light intertwined with green fire, and the might of dispelling evil and suppressing malevolence spread out. The two Lei Family Disciples felt their internal thunder power stagnate, and their long blades almost slipped from their hands.
"It's you! The murderer who killed Elder Hong!" The Disciple on the right recognized the aura on Lin Yue, shocked and furious, he turned to crush his communication talisman.
Lin Yue shifted his steps, unleashing Ten Thousand Jun Force. His figure was as fast as a phantom. The zhensha divine staff swept out, the staff wind carrying Heaven-Burning Sword Intent, instantly shattering the protective spiritual light of the two Disciples.
Before they could even scream, the divine staff precisely struck their Dantian. Their Foundation Establishment spiritual power instantly dissipated, and they collapsed softly to the ground.
He raised his hand to wipe away the parts of their memories concerning himself, threw all their Magic Treasures and Storage Pouches into the Hongmeng Space, and then walked to the thunder-patterned stone stele.
The zhensha divine staff gleamed with black light as he smashed it fiercely against the restrictive runes on the stele.
The power of dispelling evil collided with the thunder-type Restriction, producing a harsh roar. The light of the runes dimmed, and a gap appeared in the thunder wall. Lin Yue leaped through the gap and stepped into Falling Thunder Valley.
The scene inside the valley was far more dangerous than the outside. Thunder and lightning poured down like a waterfall from the sky, and the ground was covered with charred gravel. Each piece of gravel contained violent thunder power; stepping on it would trigger a backlash from the Lightning Tribulation.
The distant mountains were riddled with holes from lightning strikes, and twisted thunder patterns were vaguely visible—a sign of the leakage of the ancient Spiritual Vein of thunder.
Lin Yue activated the "Lei Sha Transformation" function. A pale purple spiritual light emerged around his body. When the violent thunder power approached him, it automatically converted into pure spiritual power, flowing along his Meridians into his Dantian. He moved through the thunderstorm as if walking on flat ground. The zhensha divine staff occasionally smashed into the thunder stones blocking his path, absorbing the thunder power contained within into the Hongmeng Space. The gray barriers within the space became increasingly deep, and the storage capacity for the Spiritual Vein increased once again.
Venturing a hundred miles into the valley, the thunder power became increasingly dense, even condensing into streaks of purple lightning dragons that circled and roared in the valley.
Lin Yue looked up and saw, in the center of the valley ahead, a massive altar engraved with thunder patterns standing tall. Beneath the altar, a thick purple pillar of light shot straight into the sky—this was the core of the ancient Spiritual Vein of thunder.
Just then, Lin Yue suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from ahead.
He crept closer and saw Lei Qianjun leading several Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators in surrounding and attacking Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng's Puppet was already damaged, and blood hung from the corner of her mouth; she was clearly at the end of her rope.
"Fairy Ye, if you know what's good for you, submit to me. Otherwise, once the medicinal power of this hehuan powder kicks in, you won't be able to control yourself!" Lei Qianjun wore a lewd smile on his face, holding a jade bottle in his hand—it was the container holding the hehuan powder.
Ye Qingcheng's eyes were already beginning to blur, and the spiritual power around her was chaotic. Clearly, the medicinal power of the hehuan powder had begun to take effect, her consciousness was gradually fading, and she was running out of strength to even resist.
"Lei Qianjun, you are despicable and shameless!" Ye Qingcheng gritted her teeth and cursed in anger, but could not hide the flush on her face as her body began to uncontrollably soften.
"Despicable? To obtain a Fairy, what does it matter if I am despicable?" Lei Qianjun laughed loudly and reached out to grab Ye Qingcheng.
Just then, Lin Yue leaped out. The red light of the zhensha divine staff surged, and with one horizontal sweep, he killed all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators surrounding Ye Qingcheng.
He looked at Lei Qianjun, his eyes filled with icy killing intent: "I spared your life last time, but you did not repent. Instead, you used such despicable means. Today, I will take your dog life!"
Upon seeing Lin Yue, Lei Qianjun was shocked at first, but then a hint of wild joy flashed in his eyes: "Searching high and low for something, only to find it without any effort! Lin Yue, you actually threw yourself into the net. Today, I will let you and Ye Qingcheng die together!"
He waved his hand to signal his subordinate Cultivators to attack, while he himself urged his remaining Golden Core True Essence, once again summoning a short blade to stab straight at Lin Yue's heart.
Lin Yue snorted coldly, fully activating his Wanjun Overlord Body. The divine staff danced like flying, blocking all incoming attacks. His figure moved like lightning, instantly closing in on Lei Qianjun, and he smashed his staff onto his Dantian.
"Puchi!" Lei Qianjun's Dantian shattered, his Golden Core completely dissipated, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground and completely losing his combat ability.
The surrounding Foundation Establishment Cultivators saw this and were scared until their souls flew away and spirits scattered. They turned to flee, but Lin Yue caught up to them one by one, bringing down the zhensha divine staff and killing them all.
After dealing with all the enemies, Lin Yue turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.
At this moment, her consciousness was blurred, her body was burning with heat, and her eyes were unfocused. The medicinal power of the hehuan powder had completely erupted. If she were not treated soon, it would likely damage her Dao foundation.
Lin Yue looked at the delirious and feverish Ye Qingcheng, his brows locked in a frown.
The hehuan powder was potent; if not treated in time, it would not only damage her Dao foundation but could also cause her to become a plaything for others.
Being in Falling Thunder Valley right now, with crises lurking everywhere, it was by no means a safe place for healing.
"I can only take her into the Hongmeng Space first." With a thought, Lin Yue opened a pale golden light gate in front of him again. He bent down and picked up Ye Qingcheng, who had collapsed on the ground. Her body was as hot as a branding iron, her skin flushed with an alluring crimson, her breathing rapid and scorching. She unconsciously rubbed against his chest, and her slender fingers uncontrollably grabbed his lapels.
Leaping into the light gate, the gray barriers within the space instantly closed, shutting out the dangers of the outside world. Here, the Spiritual Qi was thin but pure, just right for temporary healing. Just as Lin Yue placed Ye Qingcheng on the ground, she began to writhe like a fish out of water, small moans overflowing from her mouth, her eyes so unfocused they seemed to drip with water.
"Hot... so hot..." Ye Qingcheng shed her usual cold demeanor, her cheeks flushed crimson, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, sliding down her neck into her collar.
She subconsciously tore at her own clothes, the ribbons of her silk dress easily snapped, revealing large patches of snow-white skin. The delicate skin appeared even more lustrous and radiant against the backdrop of the gray space.
Lin Yue felt his heart flutter at the sight, and the blood in his body surged uncontrollably.
Ye Qingcheng was already a stunning beauty, and with the medicinal effect taking hold, she shed her usual aloofness, adding a touch of allure that was even more captivating. He quickly averted his gaze, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the stray thoughts in his heart.
[System Prompt: Detected target Ye Qingcheng favorability 10 points, has not reached the binding threshold (25 points). Dual Cultivation requires favorability ≥ 90 points. Forced binding will trigger a backlash, losing the qualification for a potential partner.]
The cold System prompt was like a basin of cold water, waking up Lin Yue who had nearly lost control. He recalled his immunity to all poisons; perhaps he could transfer the toxins of the hehuan powder from her body to his own.
Without further hesitation, Lin Yue sat cross-legged, helped Ye Qingcheng up, and let her lean against his chest.
He placed his palm against her Dantian and circulated the spiritual power within his body, instantly activating his immunity to all poisons. A warm suction force emanated from his palm, and the toxins of the hehuan powder within Ye Qingcheng seemed to find a vent, pouring continuously through his palm into his Meridians.
