Chapter 1157: [(859)] Can you not change clothes in front of me (asking for monthly votes)

“Not good!”

Li Wanchen’s heart skipped a beat, hastily grabbing Li Zhi and retreating backward.

“Boom!”

A terrifying might emanated from the black-dressed woman, transforming the fiery flames into a giant snake that ferociously lashed its tail.

Anything in its path was torn to shreds with ruthless efficiency!

“Back off! Back off!”

Li Wanchen shouted loudly.

He raised his hand.

Yellow Talisman burned.

Immediately, shields layered like fish scales appeared, protecting both him and Li Zhi.

But they were still crushed by the Cloud Sky Level Terrifying Power and sent flying backward for dozens of meters.

By the time the two steadied themselves, the black-dressed woman had already disappeared with Pei Jinye.

“Damn it, they got away!”

Li Zhi’s heart felt as though it was being sliced by knives.

He spread his hand open.

The gray, fourth-grade Thunderbolt Talisman was now only one-third intact.

A fourth-grade Thunderbolt Talisman was rendered as useless as trash, which he found unbelievable and completely unacceptable.

“How is this possible! How can this be!”

Seeing this, Li Wanchen also suppressed the shock in his heart: “This demoness has elusive tricks, perhaps she possesses a method to break the Thunderbolt Talisman, you need not worry. In the future, I’ll think of a way to locate a High Rank Talisman Master for you outside.”

Li Zhi had no choice but to accept this explanation.

At that moment.

A powerful Sword Intent approached instantly.

Li Zhi and Li Wanchen both felt a chill at the bottom of their hearts. Upon seeing the attire of the newcomer, they promptly bowed and said respectfully, “We’ve seen the Eternal Night Envoy.”

Lin Xiawei’s face was grim.

Still one step too late.

That woman was truly detestable!

Ignoring Li Zhi and Li Wanchen, she quickly rushed to Pei Jinye’s store. She didn’t see Pei Jinye’s whereabouts, but did find a set of secret signals, which slightly settled her heart.

“Damn, she got away again!”

Pretending to be angry, she slashed with her sword.

But she discreetly obliterated the secret signals.

“You, Fish Tail, you run too fast.” Yu Long had employed many tactics before he finally caught up to her, but upon seeing the scorched ground outside the Matrix Shop, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise: “Has that kid been captured again? Damn it, does the God Luo Association’s old witch really fancy this one that much?”

Lin Xiawei cast a cold glance at him.

Yu Long immediately gave an awkward laugh, not daring to joke further, and pretended to speak seriously: “Judging from the arrangements inside the shop, there seems to have been a confrontation… It must have been the young Matrix Controller who resisted desperately, only to be suppressed by the God Luo Association’s old witch… But why would they capture him?”

“Because of the black box,” Lin Xiawei threw out an explanation.

Hearing this, Yu Long felt some sympathy for Pei Jinye.

“This kid is truly unlucky. He stumbled upon the black box by accident, not expecting that the God Luo Association wouldn’t let him go… But doesn’t the God Luo Association’s old witch know that we’ve already taken away the black box?”

Tang Lu called at this moment.

“Fire Mistress of the God Luo Association has never left Sky Cloud County. She’s hiding here… but especially came looking for Pei Jinye, presumably thinking that Pei Jinye knows about the black box.”

Hearing him say this, Yu Long felt even more sympathetic towards Pei Jinye: “This kid is really bad luck incarnate.”

Lin Xiawei asked, “Do you have any leads on your end?”

Tang Lu let out a sigh: “I just sensed feedback from the Artifact Spirit. The one from the God Luo Association forced their way through the Formation and left with someone… I’ve lost their whereabouts.”

Lin Xiawei’s face darkened.

Although Pei Jinye left a secret message implying he was unharmed, the Fire Mistress of the God Luo Association was still a Cloud Sky Level Strongman.

Even she could only say that with the help of the Artifact Spirit’s power, it was barely possible to trap her.

What she was worried about was Pei Jinye’s safety.

…

Meanwhile, under the moonlight.

Pei Jinye was flung onto the carpet, and as he turned his head, the woman in a black dress actually started undressing without any hesitation.

But to the woman’s surprise, the kid didn’t show any sign of feeling that something was amiss.

“Turn your head away! Dare to peep, and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!”

“Why the sudden need to change clothes? So you’re afraid of the people from Eternal Night, aren’t you?” Pei Jinye showed no fear whatsoever.

Right now, his value was immense.

Naturally, the woman in the black dress wouldn’t dare kill him.

With a cold snort, the woman in the black dress dismissed him, flicking her wrist, and countless crimson threads appeared in front of her, enveloping Pei Jinye completely like a cocoon, suspending him in the air.

Little did she know.

These “cocoons” that would seem impenetrable to ordinary people were unable to block Pei Jinye’s vision in the slightest.

But Pei Jinye did not look further.

Instead, he took this opportunity to examine the condition inside his body.

He could feel a black insect outside his Lower Dantian, trying to burrow in, but the Thunderbolt Sword Light emerging from the Sword Marrow kept it at bay.

“Not even my Sword Intent can kill it… This Gu insect is truly peculiar.”

“Gut-Breaking Gu? That name is quite interesting.”

Pei Jinye pondered.

His mind connected with Wuzi.

“Ever eaten a Gu?”

Wuzi looked clueless but indicated it could give it a try.

However, Wuzi couldn’t enter Pei Jinye’s Dantian, so Pei Jinye would have to force the Gut-Breaking Gu close to the surface of his body so that he could cut out the flesh and capture it when the time comes.

But clearly, now was not the right moment to act.

Pei Jinye focused his mind.

Once this woman believed she could solve the Gut-Breaking Gu, she would probably show no mercy and strike to kill him.

This crazy woman was at the Cloud Sky Level, and he was no match for her.

Therefore, it was important to make her feel that she had the capability to control life and death over him, Pei Jinye.

As for the Black Nightmare…

Pei Jinye raised his hand.

Looking at the black fog that had spread from his fingertips to his wrist.

His heart sank slightly.

“This thing is a bit unusual…”

He glanced at his attributes panel.

Behind Vitality, Physical strength, and spiritual power, a description labeled [Curse] appeared.

The Black Nightmare brings a Curse…

Pei Jinye was somewhat puzzled.

But thinking about it…

Karmic Fire should be able to resolve it, right?

Suddenly the cocoon split open.

When Pei Jinye saw the light again, the woman in the black dress had already changed into a new set of clothes, yet she seemed to have a fondness for black dresses–the only thing that changed was the style but not the color black.

“You really do like black, huh.”

“Quit your yapping. Tell me what you know. Since you know about Nine Ice Ascendant, you must already know what the Black Yan Token is. Spill everything you know,” the woman in the black dress said indifferently.

Pei Jinye was no longer afraid, instead, he took another glance at her: “You want his legacy?”

Shaking his head, he said, “I’m not trying to deceive you, but you have no chance. Of course, I don’t have a chance either. Nine Ice Ascendant left an Artifact Spirit in the Inheritance Land, and it’s very powerful. Furthermore, he set a specific condition.”

“What condition?”

“Those above Cloud Sky Level cannot enter. Forcing entry will only lead to the Artifact Spirit’s relentless pursuit to kill…” Pei Jinye intentionally and unintentionally gauged the woman’s expression.

He wanted to know if this woman had a blood relation to Nine Ice Ascendant.

If there was a blood relation, she would surely know some insider details.

But it seems…

“This silly woman doesn’t know anything.”

“That makes things easier.”
