True Lord Suiyun stared at Bai Lan for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and put it on Bai Lan's shoulder, looking down into her eyes, a flash of purple light in his pupils.
Bai Lan quickly closed her eyes, but was still struck by the fleeting purple light, causing her to feel dizzy for a moment.
" Divine Summoning Curse!?" With Elder Fu's exclamation, and with the secret blessing of the Divine Soul of the Spirit Transformation stage, Bai Lan's consciousness gradually became clear.
Divine Summoning Curse? Bai Lan's heart skipped a beat.
This is the closest she has ever heard to a similar naming method.
For example... Elder Yue of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's signature skill, the Divine Restraining Curse.
This spell was created many years ago by a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation stage. This person was named True Lord Soul Devourer, and was most skilled at manipulating souls.
Unexpectedly, Suiyun also knows the Cultivation Method created by the True Lord Soul Devourer, so what is her relationship with the Soul-Seizing True Lord?
Could it be a relationship between Zeng and Xianming? Is Shehun the True Lord Suiyun? After a slight estimation of the time of True Lord Soul Devourer's fall and True Lord Suiyun's age, it seems to match up.
... If that's the case, then a certain Elder Yue has never been able to escape the clutches of True Lord Suiyun.
"Terrifying..." Elder Fu was speechless.
At first, I thought she was just a Nascent Soul junior, but I didn't expect that she was Spirit Transformation stage cultivator in the same era as me in her previous life. Most importantly, before this life of Soul Seal, there was her First Life.
Seeing that Bai Lan had actually blocked the Divine Summoning Curse, True Lord Suiyun looked surprised for a moment, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes, but his tone remained as gentle as ever. "Lan'er, hand over a wisp of your divine soul. If this succeeds, the Second Master will treat you like his own child. If this fails, after the Second Master's death, everything in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will belong to you."
It seems that success or failure would be beneficial to Bai Lan, but the prerequisite for everything is that she has to hand over a wisp of her divine soul, which is the biggest disadvantage.
Sure enough, this woman must have guessed that she was going to trick her, so she planned to take precautions.
Coincidentally, Bai Lan had also guessed that True Lord Suiyun would guess that she would trick her, so she had already saved the game and laid a trap.
Faced with the slightly oppressive aura emanating from True Lord Suiyun, Bai Lan merely nodded slightly, much like a good child who obeys whatever her mother says.
"Okay, I'll do whatever my godmother says."
After saying this, Bai Lan readily handed over a wisp of her Primordial Spirit.
The smile on True Lord Suiyun's lips paused, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he remained silent.
Everything she did was to Ascend to Immortality and leave this cultivation world that had bound her for two lifetimes.
Everything Bai Lan did was to test whether she could absorb the incredibly good fortune on the Child of Destiny. If she couldn't, so be it; but if she could... hehehehe.
After this is accomplished... the method of ascension, everything in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and even the future soul of True Lord Suiyun.
She wants them all!
"Good child, you don't blame your godmother for what she did to you before, do you?" True Lord Suiyun said gently.
Bai Lan shook her head. "My godmother only wanted to seize the fortune, not kill me. What could my godmother have done wrong?"
Anyone who tries to take something from her will always meet one of two ends: either lose their life or their soul.
Even if she can't beat this woman for now, thirty years is a river...
Put yourself in her shoes; she just wanted to read a document, what could she have done wrong?
"Lan'er is truly a kind and considerate person." True Lord Suiyun smiled and patted Bai Lan's shoulder, twirling the wisp of divine soul at his fingertips before storing it in his sea of consciousness. "You have always been very pragmatic. If it weren't for these troublesome matters, I would really like to raise a child as intelligent as you."
Indeed, she also longed to have a subordinate with a genius remnant soul like True Lord Suiyun.
"Your Excellency, immediately order men to track down Long Aotian's whereabouts. This matter must be handled as soon as possible, or things may change..."
"There's no need for such trouble. This person is currently in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Tiandu City. With Yi Yi's strength, taking Long Aotian would be a piece of cake."
True Lord Suiyun raised an eyebrow. "You seem to know this person's whereabouts very well."
"An enemy that can never be killed, no matter how weak that person is, will always be like a fishbone stuck in your heart, making it difficult to feel at ease."
True Lord Suiyun nodded, said no more, grabbed Bai Lan and disappeared in a flash, heading straight for Tiandu City.
Qi Refining cultivators travel on foot, Foundation Establishment cultivators rely on magical artifacts, and Core Formation cultivators can fly by escaping the light.
The speed at which True Lord Suiyun, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, traveled was even more outrageous. He covered thousands of meters in an instant, and even carrying Bai Lan was no problem for him. He arrived Tiandu City in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
This speed is more than ten times faster than when Uncle Changlu brought her back to the sect.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Lan, who was behind True Lord Suiyun, felt the surrounding scenery flash by like a lantern for the time it takes to burn an incense Myriad Treasures Pavilion was.
"Is Long Aotian hiding here?" True Lord Suiyun looked at Bai Lan.
Bai Lan shook her dizzy head and nodded. "Yes, yes, Yi Yi, quickly unleash your supreme Nascent Soul cultivator's pressure."
Perhaps sensing the aura of True Lord Suiyun, the guardian elder of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion trembled as he emerged from the pavilion True Lord Suiyun could display his power.
When her gaze fell upon the black robe of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion True Lord Suiyun and her unfathomable cultivation, she immediately knelt down.
"No, I was unaware of your presence, senior. I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you properly. May I ask what brings you here?" The black- Core Formation stage cultivator did not even dare to look True Lord Suiyun. He only secretly glanced at the True Lord Suiyun, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
Isn't this the person Xue'er likes?! I even helped her once before!
Upon seeing the Core Formation cultivator before him, Bai Lan pondered for a second before realizing that this person was Xue'er's Clan Uncle.
But the expected angry glare did not appear; instead, the old man gave him a fawning smile, as if trying to get closer to him.
"..." After a second of thought, Bai Lan asked in confusion, " Xue'er's Clan Uncle, you..."
She thought that after her disguise Long Aotian failed, Xue'er and her Clan Uncle would glare at her angrily the next time they met. Why were they smiling so strangely?
"Young friend, you are Xue'er's friend. I recognize you. May I ask why you have come to my Myriad Treasures Pavilion with this senior?" The Core Formation stage cultivator seized the opportunity and stood up to try and get closer to Bai Lan.
Seeing this, True Lord Suiyun closed his eyes and remained silent, leaving the negotiation to Bai Lan.
Bai Lan frowned. The scene she had envisioned—the awe-inspiring victory over Myriad Treasures Pavilion and the slaying of Long Aotian— had not materialized, which was a bit of a mishap.
But she still smiled and nodded, "Please lead the way, senior. Jiaqi is looking for someone named Long Aotian."
"Long, Long Aotian?"
