Chapter 771: The Terrible Truth
That was the Lonely Sword Intent, one Ye Tianling was extremely familiar with.
In an instant, that single strand of Sword Intent pierced the forehead of the woman in the Flame Battle Armor.
Blood sprayed into the air.
A purple lotus swept out, enveloping the woman’s body.
Despite this, the woman was still killed in an instant.
"Yanyan—"
The man’s voice was hoarse as he let out a sudden, agonized roar.
The sound sent a shiver through Ye Tianling, jolting him back to his senses.
’What the hell? Yanyan? Is that woman’s name Yanyan?’
’That man’s killing intent... it’s definitely from the Lonely Sword Dao! There’s no mistake!’
’And that man’s voice... why did it sound so much like the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King?’
Ye Tianling was deeply shaken. This time, he was truly shocked.
He felt as if he had discovered something, but he had no leads to follow.
’Yanyan, rest assured. I will settle this karmic debt for you. I know you were trying to tell me something, but... right now, I’m truly willing but powerless to help. But I, Ye Tianling, give you my word. I will—I absolutely will—do everything I can!’
Ye Tianling made a silent vow.
The moment he made that vow, he felt his body and soul achieve Perfection, becoming a harmonious whole.
It was as if a forbidden Flame and Bloodline Power flowed into the veins of this Venerable Female Corpse.
It was as though the woman’s physique was none other than the dormant Emperor’s Qi Sword Body, Thunder Flame Sword Body, Void Sword Body, and Great Dao Sword Body.
’She’s the Thunder Inference King’s daughter. It’s just... I’ve never heard that the Thunder Inference King had a daughter.’
Ye Tianling sighed.
The karmic implications were horrifying.
’Would the Thunder Inference King really kill his own daughter?’
The Thunder Inference King killed Bai Yin, but according to Que De and that Winged Divine Thought, Bai Yin was his wife!
’Killing his own wife? Killing his own daughter?’
There was clearly something wrong with the Thunder Inference King.
Ye Tianling didn’t even dare to think about it further. The thought alone was terrifying enough to make one’s skin crawl.
He instinctively felt he couldn’t delve any deeper into this matter. It was like a great taboo, a poison more terrifying than the Nine Dragon Soul Poison itself. If he were to become tainted by it now, he would be instantly annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.
’What in the world are these beings? Just what kind of peerless entities have I gotten myself involved with?!’
Ye Tianling drew in a sharp, cold breath.
Returning from that state of Inference, thought, and Meditation, Ye Tianling discovered that he was no longer weak.
The feeling was strange.
Ye Tianling raised his hand. His movements were incredibly fluid and coordinated.
He reached out, assessing his body’s condition.
Ye Tianling understood why, and at the same time, he was astonished by the woman’s Talent.
She was practically a peerless prodigy, her body a fusion of multiple types of Divine Bodies!
What a shame. To think she had undergone the Transformation Dao just like that.
Ye Tianling felt a deep sense of regret. However, since he had shouldered the karmic burden, he truly took the matter to heart.
"This Venerable Female Corpse is named ’Yanyan.’ She is the biological daughter of the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King. Her consciousness awakened just now and passed some information to me."
Ye Tianling said solemnly.
’Que De’s reaction may have been exaggerated, but it really shows just how terrifyingly captivating Yanyan was.’
"Er—"
Que De’s face paled. He’d just remembered that this was a Venerable Female Corpse!
"This Female Immortal is breathtakingly beautiful. A true Fairy, worthy of reverence."
Que De didn’t dare to joke. Ye Tianling’s words weren’t a warning, but a statement of fact.
He bowed deeply, crushing the improper thoughts that had arisen in his mind. He didn’t dare to speak recklessly again.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Tianling relaxed.
After a silent apology to Yanyan, Ye Tianling looked at Que De and said, "Take a look. How do we break through this? I can understand some of the Arrays, but my power is insufficient. If I try to force it with Yanyan’s Abilities, I won’t be able to handle the toll."
Ye Tianling said.
"I can’t see. Describe the situation to me. This is a critical access point. I suspect that what lies beyond is another region occupied by the Ten Great Celestial Pride. It’s highly probable. If we run into any of them blocking the way, what will you do?"
Que De analyzed.
Ye Tianling said nonchalantly, "With your strength, you could just kill them with a single slap."
Que De shook his head. "I’m a Dao Body, and I’m severely restricted by the rules here. There’s no way I can defeat these Celestial Prides. They might have trump cards that could kill me in a single blow. I came through that Array, so I’m under extreme limitations."
Ye Tianling replied, "Then it’s no problem. You still have me, don’t you? If they don’t know what’s good for them, I’ll just slap them to death. What ’Celestial Pride’? Do you really think they stand a chance of making a stir now?"
Ye Tianling’s tone put Que De much more at ease.
Right away, Ye Tianling began to describe the surrounding environment in detail, allowing Que De to work on breaking the Array.
