Spirit Race Aftermath

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Spirit Realm, in an ordinary mountain stream, a woman dressed in Goose Yellow Dress suddenly appeared.

Clenching her fist and feeling the abundant power within her body, Ling Yi's eyes flashed with intense confusion.

"What's going on? Shouldn't I be dead?"

Ling Yi's memories are still stuck on the moment when she was besieged by a group of powerful Soul Clan members, and then she self-destructed in despair.

But the scene before her eyes told her that she seemed to have come back to life.

Wrong!

There seems to be a slight difference...

Ling Yi carefully sensed it for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in disbelief, "Why have I become Soul Body?!"

"Of course I did it." A faint voice sounded in Ling Yi's ear.

"Who?!" Ling Yi suddenly stood up, her crimson Dou Qi erupting, instantly drying up half of the river she was in.

I looked around warily, searching for the source of the sound.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore!"

Then, to Ling Yi's astonishment, a phantom Spirit Body appeared three meters in front of her.

Her dazzling silver hair cascaded down her back, and her bright, starry eyes seemed to hold the stars in the sky, adding to her mystique. Her delicate face bore an unyielding weariness, and her slightly mischievous smile gave her the appearance of a sickly beauty.

However, her stunningly beautiful face did not bring her any sense of approachability at this moment.

Ling Yi darted forward and grabbed the man's soft shoulder, her expression cold as she asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Even though it was just Soul Body, Ling Yi's undiminished aura of a Dou Holy Grade was not something ordinary people could withstand. After it erupted, all the Magical Beast in the entire mountain range were so frightened that they defecated and urinated, and cowered in place without moving.

However, the woman at the center of the oppressive aura seemed completely unaware, still wearing that gentle smile. The next moment, Ling Yi looked at her slender hand in surprise, realizing that she had lost control of the woman at some point.

The latter had already appeared behind Ling Yi, still looking lazy, stretching and outlining her perfect, alluring curves.

"What an unfriendly little brat! I was the one who saved your life!"

A hint of resentment flashed across her face, and she said in a tearful voice, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

The other party's series of actions completely baffled Ling Yi. Although she felt that she had escaped death and that her appearance here was extremely strange, she never expected that she would still owe a debt of gratitude to the mysterious woman in front of her.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set up sufficiently, the mysterious woman, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal, explained the details to Ling Yi.

The whole story is quite simple: Nether Sky Glacial Crystal and Ling Yuexian, the Spirit Race Clan Leader, reached an agreement. The former would find a way to save Ling Yi's life, while the latter would conceal Nether Sky Glacial Crystal's identity and use the Spirit Clan's resources to help her recover to her peak condition.

The method by which the Nether Sky Glacial Crystal saved Ling Yi's life and helped her resolve the hidden danger was quite simple: the black Shi Tou that Ling Yi placed was a special spatial node.

As the former self-destructed, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal took advantage of the Soul Clan's unpreparedness to protect Ling Yi's soul and escape, transferring to this place through that spatial node.

These skills are practically life-saving divine abilities, and the reason why the Nether Sky Glacial Crystal has been able to live so long. However, the price is a significant loss of its essence, and the time limit is an extremely long five thousand years.

If Nether Sky Glacial Crystal hadn't been forced into a corner, she wouldn't have wanted to use this method to escape. After all, for Nether Sky Glacial Crystal, who wasn't good at fighting, the power of the Soul Clan was still too strong, and survival was the priority!

After listening to Nether Sky Glacial Crystal's words, Ling Yi remained silent for a long time, never expecting that in the end the clan leader would give her the chance to live.

But what can I do now? Hunt down members of the Soul Clan to avenge my fallen kin?

Ling Yi shook her head, rejecting the answer. One of her few virtues was that she was not swayed by her emotions.

Ling Yi knew that once her existence was exposed, she would face endless hunting by the Soul Clan.

Not to mention, he now only has his soul left. Even though he was once a powerful Dou Sheng with many tricks up his sleeve, his strength has dropped to the Dou Zun Peak.

The only targets they can hunt are minor characters, and there's a high chance they'll be killed instead, losing the life that the clan leader managed to save—it's all meaningless!

Having experienced the battle in the Spirit Realm, she now has a profound understanding of the power of the Soul Clan.

No wonder the Ice Saint, who was at the height of his power in Central Plains, was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of their Spirit Clan. Perhaps he had sensed the presence of the Soul Clan among them!

Um...

Ling Yi's eyes narrowed, and hope ignited once more. At least a few talented juniors remained in their Spirit Clan. Thinking of the Spirit Clan disciples in the Langya Pavilion, endless light of hope surged forth.

Then came another wave of disappointment.

Are you kidding me? She's a ticking time bomb right now. Going to the Langya Pavilion is practically asking them to wipe out her entire family!

Noticing Ling Yi's constantly changing expression, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal revealed a look of great interest.

For years, the monotonous life of suppression and sealing had numbed her, and just when she was about to be freed, she was almost ambushed and killed. After that, there wasn't a single moment of peace. Unexpectedly, she now saw that in this young girl.

Before the suppression and sealing, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal had met all sorts of people, but very few of them were able to remain rational and not break down after the destruction of their clan.

If we add another requirement—that one's mindset doesn't become distorted after a dramatic change in fate—those who can meet such a requirement are extremely rare.

And then she ran into one!

Nether Sky Glacial Crystal felt it was necessary to add fuel to the fire for this little girl.

"Little girl, would you like to go and meet your clansmen from the Langya Pavilion?"

He had expected Ling Yi to either excitedly agree or be extremely conflicted, but to his surprise, Ling Yi merely glanced at him indifferently and coldly refused:

"No need, I'd better stay away from them!"

But now things were no longer up to Ling Yi to decide. Nether Sky Glacial Crystal withdrew her smiling expression and became serious.

"Little girl, you'd better follow my instructions from now on!"

Before Ling Yi could answer, he pointed a finger at her forehead, leaving her completely bewildered. Ling Yi felt her body go limp and collapsed, only to be caught by Nether Sky Glacial Crystal with lightning speed.

Nether Sky Glacial Crystal's intelligence is no joke. Back when Xiao Han first came to the Spirit Clan to investigate the clues of the Evil Clan, she sensed the aura of the latter's extremely hidden Extreme Cold Crystal and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

Being able to gain the approval of two Heavenly Ice at the same time, and being imbued with such a strong aura, she judged that this person had a considerable understanding of those beasts.

The current demise of the Spirit Clan is largely related to those things, and their strength is considerable. If there is any place in this world that can provide them with help and protection, it is probably only Langya Pavilion.

After all, she and Ling Yi couldn't really hide forever; they would be discovered sooner or later. Continuing to hide would only hinder their strength improvement, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal had already prepared her strategy.

And so, for the next half month, Nether Sky Glacial Crystal carefully prepared her plan, intending to take a certain little guy to the Langya Pavilion.

At the same time, they left themselves a backup plan to ensure the safety of the two, or to slip away in time if the so-called Ice Saint turned hostile.

She's a pro at saving her own life!
