Bai Lan was young, yet her cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage. The pink-skull woman initially assumed she was Single Spiritual Root cultivator; after all, such an incredible cultivation speed could only be achieved by someone with a multi- Spirit Root! But she never expected...
Under the watchful eyes of Bai Lan and the shocked Nan Xianshi, the red smoke and remnant soul that had been protruding from Chu Ben quickly retracted and left Bai Lan's body, as if they had never come out at all.
"Hmph, you junior with a lowly Spirit Root, get lost! I do not take from those with lowly Spirit Root." The woman's voice contained a hint of disdain, a blatant discrimination against those with lowly Spirit Root.
Bai Lan smiled upon seeing this, and stepped forward to sit next to the pink skeleton. "Don't be in such a hurry to send people away, senior. You've been trapped in this cave abode every day, surrounded by this skeleton, and no one has talked to you for hundreds of years. Aren't you bored?"
The woman chuckled coldly and said, "I don't want to hear the voice of ants. If you don't leave, I don't mind leaving you here permanently!!!"
"Senior, I have traversed the cultivation world for a long time. I have explored at least seventy, if not eight hundred, ancient cultivator secret realms. It seems that a remnant soul like yours, residing in one's own remains, is usually unable to leave the remains." Bai Lan's tone was very much like that of someone who had been through it all.
Thanks to Long Aotian and Bai Ling, she had explored almost every cultivator's cave abode in the Mist Cloud Continent, and had seen many similar skeletons.
Therefore, she knows their current situation better than the skeleton itself.
"Just now, Senior's soul left the skeleton, attempting to possess me but failed. During the time you were away from the remains, you must have lost a lot of your soul. Your remnant soul is damaged, so you are probably too weak to do anything else now," Bai Lan said with a smile.
"Get out!!!" the woman roared in a fit of rage, clearly in a panic.
Seeing that the other party was anxious, Bai Lan smiled and then transmitted her voice, "Don't be in such a hurry. In that case, how about we talk about something that you might be interested in, such as the Old Demon Yunyang of the Joyous Union Sect?"
The woman's breath hitched. She had thought the junior in front of her was an unreasonable ant who liked to tease skeletons, but she never expected that when she used telepathy, it was astonishing. The words she spoke at the beginning of the telepathy were the most important.
"I've always been curious. Given the strength of a major sect, the Joyous Union Sect should have had two Nascent Soul Cultivator. Why is it that the plot to the Joyous Union Sect betray the righteous path has always been orchestrated by Old Demon Yunyang, while the other Nascent Soul Great Expert has remained hidden for so long?" Bai Lan smiled, stroking the pink skull's hand. "So, another Nascent Soul Great Expert is here, trying to lure someone into possession?"
Bai Lan had a premonition when she first saw the pink skull, because she had previously killed two Joyous Union Sect Soul cultivators from the Hehuan Sect and had even carefully studied their ashes afterward.
The scent emanating from the ashes of those two individuals was similar to that of the skeleton before them, so it could be basically concluded that they shared the same lineage.
"Who exactly are you? You have the aura of the Joyous Union Sect's secret techniques on you. Could you be a disciple of the Joyous Union Sect?" the woman asked in a deep voice.
Bai Lan shook her head slightly. "No, I am a disciple of the Azure Origin Sect, and I do indeed have a connection with the Joyous Union Sect."
"Hmph, you just said that old man Hanxu is chasing Yunyang. Is that true?" The woman stopped being coy and started chatting with Bai Lan.
Bai Lan smiled slightly, "Indeed, if nothing unexpected happens, Yunyang has already been completely annihilated, both in body and soul."
The woman seemed to remain silent for a long time, as if she couldn't believe that Yunyang would die so easily, but her tone softened. "How is the Joyous Union Sect now?"
"It was Yunyang who led them to betray the Demonic Path, and now Yunyang himself has abandoned them. The Joyous Union Sect cultivators are leaderless, what can the remaining group of cultivators do? Soon they will probably be completely swallowed up by the Demon Demonic Palace, and their magical inheritance will fall into the hands of others." Bai Lan shook his head lightly. "It's a pity, the Joyous Union Sect will cease to exist from now on, what a pity."
"Traitor! Traitor! That old scoundrel Yunyang actually handed over the Joyous Union Sect's thousand-year foundation to someone else..." The woman's voice trembled with anger.
"So, senior, do you want to rebuild the Joyous Union Sect? Do you want to revitalize the Joyous Union Sect? Do you want the Joyous Union Sect's reputation to reappear in the cultivation world?!" Seeing that the woman had taken the bait, Bai Lan's tone suddenly became excited. "Forget about this body-snatching thing, it's too inefficient. You might as well become Ghost Cultivator and join the Spirit Taming Sect!"
The true meaning of "the map is unrolled and the dagger is revealed" is a classic example of this.
"... Aren't you from the Azure Origin Sect?!" the woman said angrily. She rarely got so angry, unless she was provoked by an ant.
"I can be a disciple of the Azure Origin Sect, or I can be the Spirit Taming Sect."
"Hehehe, junior, I am quite interested in what you have said. However, there are many inconveniences in becoming Ghost Cultivator. Why don't you bring in that hesitant little girl standing outside the cave abode? Let me possess her. After I have her body, I will join the Spirit Taming Sect and then we can work together to accomplish great things. What do you think?" The woman was silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled, revealing that she had her eye on Nan Xianshi.
"Senior, do you think I'm negotiating with you? Are you even haggling? Not at all, I was just informing you." Bai Lan smiled slightly.
"What did you say?!" The woman exploded instantly.
She finally understood what it meant to be a tiger fallen to the sun and bullied by dogs, because even a fallen soul would be bullied by ants. This guy could even command Nascent Soul Foundation Establishment? What a tyrant!
"What you should know is that if I inform the Ancestor Hanxu of the Azure Origin Sect of your information, I will still receive a generous reward afterward. As for your fate then, well, that goes without saying..." Bai Lan smiled slightly, "After all, Senior Hanxu happens to possess the Divine Ability to seize a remnant soul in one grasp and then refine it in an instant~"
As one of the former Nascent Soul stage Nascent Soul of the Mist Cloud Continent, she should know the methods of Yuhan Hanxu Zi.
"Are you threatening me?" the woman said coldly.
"Either be refined by Hanxu Zi in an instant, or join the Spirit Taming Sect and become Ghost Cultivator. Senior, choose." Bai Lan smiled faintly.
"Hehehe." The woman chuckled, and wisps of smoke rose again from the pink skull, enveloping Bai Lan: "Junior, I have a third option now. For example, regardless of your Five Spirit Roots, I can directly possess your body. What will you do then?"
Bai Lan smiled, but she was already prepared, and quietly read the save file a few breaths ago.
This time, before the woman with Bai Lan hair could release smoke to imprison her, she first raised her hand and cast a Illusory Mist Technique to block Nan Xianshi's view.
Then, the woman, along with her soul and skeleton, was thrown into the Void Stone, landing in front of the dormant system.
" True Lord Cannon Fodder, throw this skeleton into the training room. The newbie is done."
The system shuddered. "Retract!"
The pink skeleton, suddenly thrown to another place, was stunned for a moment. Ignoring its broken body, it subconsciously extended its Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.
A person whose cultivation level cannot be detected... and a Artifact Spirit flickers like Ghost Fire.
There were no creatures within a ten-mile radius to possess, and in the next instant, she was thrown into a stone chamber by the non-human creature dressed in red... Wait! This stone chamber seems to be able to isolate Divine Sense!
