Chapter 2106: Chapter 696: The woman in red mist showed remarkable tenacity, her face defiant as she shouted towards her senior. However, the more she acted this way, the less Ji Shaoyi could bear to leave her to die. After all, the relationship between him and his junior sister was close, just a step away from becoming Dao Companions. If he allowed her to die at Nangong Yaoyao’s hands now, he feared his heart would never be at peace. "Speak, what do you want in exchange for releasing my junior sister!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 Ji Shaoyi’s entire body was surrounded by pure golden flames, staring fiercely at Nangong Yaoyao, with clenched fists and bulging veins. "It’s very simple, if you want me to spare your junior sister, then trade me your life. As long as you open your Sea of Consciousness and let me plant a prohibition, I will let her go." Nangong Yaoyao said with crystalline eyes, ethereal and divine, resembling a Female Immortal who could save all beings. Ji Shaoyi’s face changed color. Once the Soul Prohibition is planted, it would be tantamount to entrusting his life in the opponent’s hands. Yet... "Senior brother, don’t agree to her, I would rather die than allow you to be bound by this demoness’ Soul Prohibition!" Not far away, the woman in red mist shouted loudly, intending to sever her own heart vein. But a nearby cultivator immediately slapped his palm against her back, restraining her mana and stopping her. "Plant a Soul Prohibition? Nangong Yaoyao, do you intend to control Ji and usher me into the Immortal Lotus Pure Land!?" Ji Shaoyi knew Nangong Yaoyao, and naturally was aware of the divine skills and techniques of the Immortal Lotus Sect. Most famous among them was the Immortal Lotus Pure Land, said to descend from the heavens, saving all beings! Once ushered into the Pure Land, it meant becoming the opponent’s slave for eternity, willing to make any sacrifice. But such terrifying methods, attempting to transform others was indeed extremely difficult, requiring stringent conditions. Being a prominent figure of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, cultivating the Great Sun Golden Crow Technique, how could he be easily transformed? The opponent would need to set numerous prohibitions to slowly transform him. "But as long as you release my junior sister, I will let you plant the Soul Prohibition!" He took a deep breath, his eyes struggling, as if made a difficult decision, and spoke aloud. Being able to become a genius of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect was indeed extraordinary, having acquired a Golden Crow True Feather in his younger years. After refining this Golden Crow True Feather, his talent increased, acquiring the Sunburning Golden Flame Body, and his soul had merged with the residual soul of the Golden Crow True Feather, birthing a hint of True Sun Fire. This hint of True Sun Fire could burn away any divine skill targeting the soul, including numerous Soul Prohibitions. Only his master and junior sister knew of this matter. So when Nangong Yaoyao proposed to plant a Soul Prohibition, his heart was filled with joy, even thinking he could use the opportunity to burn her soul with True Sun Fire. Once her soul was severely wounded and unleashed his full power, he had a fifty percent chance to slay her. But for such matters, to avoid being discovered by Nangong Yaoyao, naturally he must show struggle and anger, acting for his junior sister. It was just the right opportunity to break the last layer of relationship with his junior sister. "Mmm mmm mmm—" Not far away, his junior sister continuously shook her head towards him, but now her voice was sealed, unable to speak, only able to hum and mumble. "What is love in this world, straight to make one devote life and death." "I didn’t expect Ji Dao brother to be so affectionate, being a talent of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, yet willing to open his Sea of Consciousness for his junior sister, letting me plant the Soul Prohibition..." Nangong Yaoyao looked at Ji Shaoyi in front of her, seemingly quite surprised. "Humph, release my junior sister now, and I will open the Sea of Consciousness, allowing you to plant the prohibition." Ji Shaoyi, wearing a red golden robe, his face ruggedly handsome, exuded an imposing aura as if no one could challenge him. "Though Dao brother’s deep affection is convincing, Yaoyao cannot be trusted easily, why not open the Sea of Consciousness prohibition and let me plant it now, then I will naturally release Fairy Ruan." Nangong Yaoyao’s sparkling eyes seemed to speak, she said with a smile. "If that’s the case, swear with your Dao Heart, not only to release my junior sister but also to protect her exit from the Secret Realm." Ji Shaoyi seemed unwilling to waste words with Nangong Yaoyao, spoke coldly, a three-legged Golden Crow faintly visible above him, forming a sea of pure golden flames. "Dao Heart Vow..." Nangong Yaoyao pondered for a moment and then replied directly: "Alright, as long as Dao brother opens his Sea of Consciousness and lets me plant the prohibition...." This made Ji Shaoyi frown. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yaoyao agreed so readily. But guessing her primary goal was him, he was relieved, and said deeply: "Good." Then, he opened his Sea of Consciousness. However, even with the True Sun Fire capable of burning everything, he remained very cautious. After all, both the Sea of Consciousness and Qi Ocean Core are places crucial to a cultivator. If something goes wrong, it could be an irreversible disaster. If not for his junior sister, he would never take such risks, resorting to this strategy. Nangong Yaoyao moved forward, hands gesturing, seemingly about to use the Soul Prohibition. But at this moment. "Whoosh!" A Gu insect suddenly flew out from Nangong Yaoyao’s sleeve, shooting towards his Sea of Consciousness. "Splash!" His eyes burned with anger, and the True Sun Fire in his Sea of Consciousness instantly ignited, burning the approaching Gu insect. However, in the next moment, as his pupils reflected Nangong Yaoyao lifting her veil, revealing a flawless masterpiece of heavenly artistry, her expression turned slightly dreamy. "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" Unbeknownst, array formation restrictions were set around, space rippled forming invisible threads, binding his body, limbs, and mana. "This is bad!" He bit the tip of his tongue, circulating his mana, trying to burn the threads, but with the Gu insect burned by True Sun Fire between his brows disintegrating into powder, his head felt like it was splitting. Simultaneously, white lotuses blossomed within Nangong Yaoyao’s pupils, surrounded by ethereal immortal music resonating, ’The mortal world is a prison, all beings suffer’, as she extended a jade-like finger. His mana surged, trying to break through layers of assault, but against the invisible threads, Nangong Yaoyao’s perfect beauty, and Lotus Divine Skill, he struggled. Could only watch as the jade-like finger pointed at his brow. Following, Nangong Yaoyao’s dreamlike, celestial beauty, saintly and merciful, etched deeply into his mind and soul. Looking at Nangong Yaoyao, an indescribable emotion arose in his heart. As if...in front of her, everything in the world pales. "Something’s wrong!" As a genius of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, he instinctively realized things weren’t right, being affected by her. Yet seeing Nangong Yaoyao’s flawless beauty, he felt there was nothing wrong. "Yaoyao sister, is it finished?" At this moment, not far away, the woman in red mist suddenly stepped forward weakly and asked, looking at Nangong Yaoyao with eyes full of admiration. "Your senior brother truly deserves to be one of the top talents of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sect, even under my divine skill can still maintain some of his true self, but after some time, it should be about ready." Nangong Yaoyao said with a small smile. Then, her jade hand gently stroked the black silky hair and cheek of the woman in red mist, speaking softly: "Qianqian, thank you for your efforts this time." "As long as I can help Yaoyao sister, it’s not hard for Qianqian." The woman in red mist, pale as paper, smiled blissfully, like a pet, nestled her head against Nangong Yaoyao’s palm. "Junior sister!?" Ji Shaoyi was startled and dumbfounded by the scene, weighed down by silence. But what shocked him more was that now he couldn’t muster resentment, intent to kill, or desire to escape from Nangong Yaoyao... At this moment, his heart grew cold, even terrified, realizing he had fallen, fallen into Nangong Yaoyao’s hands.
