Chapter 1156: [858] This person is especially strong against lightning talismans (First update, asking for monthly passes and subscriptions)

“It can be basically confirmed that what Nine Ice Ascendant left behind is within this region, but finding the entrance still seems a bit troublesome.”

The young man said in a deep voice: “Tomorrow morning, I will ask my teacher to come out of seclusion, only my teacher’s Sealing technique has reached the pinnacle of perfection.”

Yu Long’s face showed a bit more of a smile upon hearing this: “If Teacher Xu takes action, we’ll find the inheritance ruins within three days. We’ve bothered Master Zhou today.”

“It’s no bother.” The young man smiled, yet his gaze fell on a figure beside him.

“Seal off the scene, withdraw.” Lin Xiawei dropped the words without mercy and turned to leave.

Zhou Shenghao looked at her departing figure and quickly said: “Miss Xia Wei, would you like to have dinner together tonight?”

However, Lin Xiawei didn’t turn her head and left decisively.

Zhou Shenghao sulkily retracted his gaze.

He exchanged glances with Yu Long.

Yu Long showed a knowing smile that all men understand, patted Zhou Shenghao’s shoulder, and whispered mischievously: “That’s just her temperament, brother, you have to make an effort.”

Zhou Shenghao smiled gratefully upon hearing this, but quickly whispered: “Brother Long, what does Miss Xia Wei usually like?”

“She likes…” Yu Long’s face showed an odd expression: “She likes to be alone.”

Zhou Shenghao was stunned by these words.

Yu Long added another sentence: “But don’t be discouraged, as her teammate, I still hope she can meet her true other half.”

Zhou Shenghao showed a longing yet firm expression.

Just as he was about to say something, Yu Long’s expression suddenly changed: “Something’s happened outside, we must hurry.”

Without waiting for Zhou Shenghao to inquire, he quickly rushed out.

“Fish Tail!”

“Return to Sky Cloud County!” Lin Xiawei decisively commanded.

She also received news from Eternal Night Headquarters.

That woman from God Luo Association actually appeared again!

“Old Zhou, we’ll contact you tomorrow morning; there’s something tonight.” Yu Long turned and called out to the figure hastily following behind.

After speaking, he drove off in a hurry.

Zhou Shenghao had no chance to speak a word, only left looking on longingly.

…

Inside the store.

Pei Jinye lifted his hand, looking at the black mist coiling around his fingertip.

Across from him, the woman in the black dress had an ashen face.

She had calculated every outcome but still didn’t expect to be outsmarted by this lad.

She coldly sneered: “Kid, this Black Nightmare is not to say it cannot be removed, but if someone has to die, it’ll be you.”

Pei Jinye revealed an expression of indifference: “The likelihood is that they are people from Eternal Night outside, do you think you can escape?”

The woman in the black dress looked out coldly.

A group of people was closing in from outside.

She had at most three minutes to make a decision.

It seemed she made a choice.

She suddenly raised her hand.

A crimson light wrapped around Pei Jinye’s arm but deliberately avoided the arm that was tainted by the Black Nightmare.

Clearly, what the woman in the black dress said about having a method to deal with the Black Nightmare was more about bolstering her own momentum; even if it could be undone, it definitely wouldn’t be easy.

Pei Jinye didn’t seem surprised that the woman in the black dress made a move.

In fact, he was betting.

Betting that she wouldn’t dare kill him.

He had already unravelled the token, but the woman in the black dress did not realise it yet.

Moreover, just now, he didn’t tell her the whole truth.

The moment the formation on the token was unlocked, he had already acquired a lot of information.

For example, this token was called the Black Yan Token, deriving from someone named Nine Ice Ascendant.

As for what Cultivation level this powerful being had, Pei Jinye couldn’t judge, but considering that even the God Luo Association took it so seriously, the Nine Ice Ascendant’s Cultivation level must at least be Cloud Sky Level!

And the news he got was about the Inheritance Land left behind by Nine Ice Ascendant.

But there were some issues with obtaining this inheritance.

The Inheritance Land left by Nine Ice Ascendant was named True Ice Tower, and he tended to favor his own descendants’ bloodline to receive the inheritance.

That was the message he left for the True Ice Tower’s Artifact Spirit, and the Black Yan Token was the key to enter the Inheritance Land.

Bloodline…

The sound of breaking through the air came.

When Pei Jinye regained his senses, he had already been wrapped up by the woman in the black dress using her red silk threads and taken away from the shop.

The moment they stepped out the door, the woman in the black dress raised her hand, and a crimson Light Column in mid-air slashed towards the incoming City Defense Army.

“Boom!”

Pei Jinye’s heart sank.

He confirmed that this woman had purposely dragged him out here with ill intentions.

So directly taking him away.

Even if he claimed to be innocent, Eternal Night would inevitably change their attitude towards him.

After all, what kind of person would God Luo Association approach repeatedly, even resorting to force… They were trying to consolidate his collusion with God Luo Association.

“Are you satisfied now?”

Hearing Pei Jinye’s words, the woman in the black dress haughtily raised her head, glancing over arrogantly: “As long as you obediently comply, I naturally won’t kill you. But you schemed against me, this is your punishment. As for how Eternal Night deals with you, that’s beyond my control.”

Pei Jinye snorted coldly: “Do you still want to seek the Inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant? If you do, I advise you to treat me better. I already know all the information inside the token. Without me, even with the token, you won’t be able to get in.”

The woman in the black dress narrowed her eyes, revealing a murderous intent.

“You actually know everything?”

Pei Jinye looked up, his gaze severe: “Stay focused. A powerful being is coming.”

The woman in the black dress snorted coldly.

She was extremely annoyed by the boy’s attitude.

It was supposed to be her threatening him, yet somehow he was always getting the upper hand.

She even had the impulse to just strike him dead there and then… But considering the matter of the inheritance, plus this youngster’s proficiency in formations truly met her needs.

Killing him directly would bring more harm than good.

With a cold snort.

The woman in the black dress withdrew her gaze.

Two figures, one behind the other, rushed over from afar.

“Enchantress!”

It was Li Zhi, the governor of Sky Cloud County.

The person following him, recognized by Pei Jinye, was none other than Li Wanchen, who had presided over the auction at Sea Reef Garden earlier in the day.

The combined strike of two Cave Heaven Level cultivators was also formidable.

But unfortunately–

Even if this woman just barely stepped into Cloud Sky Level, she was a true Cloud Sky Level cultivator.

Even if she had been injured by Lin Xiawei with a Sword Array the previous night, she was definitely not someone the Li family could contend with.

The woman in the black dress snorted coldly, flipping her hand.

“Piercing Heaven Flame!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Several streaks of crimson flame pierced through the void, striking directly.

Li Zhi sensed danger, grabbing Li Wanchen hastily: “This enchantress has bizarre methods, be careful!”

“Should we use a Thunderbolt Talisman?” Li Wanchen whispered.

Li Zhi’s eyes flickered.

He did indeed have a fourth-grade Thunderbolt Talisman on hand, a fortunate find from previous years.

But if he really used it, he had to ponder whether it was worth it or not.

This mission came directly from Eternal Night Headquarters.

If he could capture this enchantress before the people from Eternal Night arrived, he was certain to receive recognition from above, and his career would be limitless.

“Damn, she’s about to escape!”

Li Wanchen’s expression suddenly changed, bellowing out a warning.

Li Zhi could not care about anything else.

With a flip of his hand.

“Thunder Arrives!”

A rumbling sound.

Suddenly, a dull grey thunderbolt shot out from the talisman paper in his palm.

…

What Pei Jinye didn’t expect was that this damned woman actually used him as a human shield, directly blocking the attack.

Eye to eye.

Both of them saw each other’s intentions.

Enchantress, you won’t die a good death!

A lesson for you, let’s see if you dare to challenge me again!

But what the woman in the black dress didn’t expect was that when the thunder struck Pei Jinye, the Little Fox was completely unharmed.

Even though she had secretly used Flame Flow to block much of the thunder, it shouldn’t have left the lad unscathed, right?

While the woman in the black dress was stunned, Li Zhi and Li Wanchen, the two brothers, were also dumbfounded.

“A fourth-grade Thunderbolt Talisman… Could it become ineffective if not used for too long?”

Immediately, they felt as if their hearts were being cut.

My fourth-grade Thunderbolt Talisman!
