I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 454 - 80: The Pretty Boy Who Sold His Looks
"Yuxian, stop!" Yi Hongchen smiled and waved his hand. Immediately, Zhu Yuxian withdrew the Nanming Lihuo Sword, and with a clang, the Immortal Sword returned to its sheath. Wearing an indifferent expression, she clasped her hands in salute.
"Zhu Yuxian, greets the master."
Lu Chengfeng’s face didn’t look too well, "Sister, treating my master like this isn’t right!"
Yi Hongchen’s face was also a bit unpleasant, the Immortal Light on his body flickered, directly flicking the man’s hand away. This guy was really bold, doing as he pleased in front of others, did he really think he was dealing with those brothel women?
"Hmph, you’d better behave yourself. If you provoke me, don’t blame me for being rude..."
Although Lu Chengfeng’s hand was flicked away, he shamelessly continued to hug her waist from behind, "Good sister, please release my master, and I will serve you well..."
Yi Hongchen could no longer bear it, a golden, radiant Treasure Pagoda appeared on his left hand, and he smashed it down towards Lu Chengfeng.
"Good sister, is this how you disregard people after putting on your clothes!"
Lu Chengfeng let out a strange cry, and the Five-Colored Divine Light brushed off, instantly dispelling both the Golden Pagoda and the Divine Light.
Yi Hongchen didn’t plan to continue fighting fiercely with him; it was only to shut this shameless man up, once he was driven away, she turned to Zhu Yuxian and said, "Yuxian, collaborate with Lingxi to try and see if you can find the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate."
"Yes, Master," Zhu Yuxian agreed, immediately moving next to Qi Lingxi, asking, "What should I do?"
Qi Lingxi didn’t know either, she was quite bewildered as well, not knowing who to find, and it was her first time hearing the title Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate.
Lu Chengfeng at this moment moved to Zhu Yuxian’s side, his pupils displaying the Great Sun’s rise and fall, the Power of Time flowing as he examined her Primordial Spirit.
Zhu Yuxian felt as if she was enveloped by a Great Sun, the dazzling Great Sun Golden Radiance poured into the top of her head like a waterfall, surging into her limbs and bones.
Her entire body froze, like amber frozen in time, she could only watch helplessly as this man exhibited Divine Techniques.
"Sister Lingxi, now use the Lingxi Mirror to examine her Primordial Spirit."
Lu Chengfeng instructed.
Qi Lingxi didn’t hesitate, the Lingxi Mirror rose high like a full moon, its surface faintly shimmering with clear light, which then ascended and fiercely fell on Zhu Yuxian’s forehead.
Buzz!
The previously hazy mirror surface immediately seemed to have its mist dissipated, the green light rippling like water waves, revealing a scene.
In the depths of Zhu Yuxian’s Spirit Platform, her Primordial Spirit was exactly the same as the Nanming Lihuo Sword she carried, presenting a Sword Embryo form. At the hilt, a White Lotus rooted itself, swaying its eight petals.
Furthermore, there was a Golden Pagoda suppressing her sea of consciousness, enveloping her Primordial Spirit and the White Lotus under the tower.
"True Monarch Sister, please reveal a sliver of a gap in that Golden Pagoda," Lu Chengfeng did not ask Yi Hongchen to retract the Golden Pagoda directly.
Although he only glanced at it, he immediately understood that the Golden Pagoda in Zhu Yuxian’s Spirit Platform was an anomaly formed by the fusion of Yi Hongchen’s Immortal Light and Divine Power manifested.
Although Yi Hongchen could thereby somewhat control and influence Zhu Yuxian’s mind, it concurrently suppressed the White Lotus.
If Yi Hongchen retracted that Golden Pagoda, no one could guarantee that the White Lotus wouldn’t cause any trouble over Zhu Yuxian’s Primordial Spirit.
Yi Hongchen looked at the ancient mirror in Qi Lingxi’s hand with a bit of surprise. This kind of direct probing of one’s Primordial Spirit, even revealing such Immortal-level power involving the White Lotus and Golden Pagoda, exceeded her expectations.
Upon hearing Lu Chengfeng’s words, she moved her mind, and the Golden Pagoda suppressing Zhu Yuxian’s sea of consciousness revealed a gap.
"This is the moment!" Lu Chengfeng whispered.
Qi Lingxi reacted quickly, almost instantly striking a clear light with the ancient mirror, penetrating the Golden Pagoda, and falling on the White Lotus.
Soon, all anomalies on the Lingxi Ancient Mirror disappeared, leaving only a thread of Buddha Light, which manifested the form of the White Lotus.
"It’s done." Qi Lingxi stared intently at the Buddha Light White Lotus, though only capturing a thread of aura, she could feel the terrifying will contained within the White Lotus.
No doubt, the White Lotus rooted in Zhu Yuxian’s Primordial Spirit was an Immortal.
"Sister Lingxi, can you use this thread of aura to help us locate that Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Venerate directly?" Seeing things progress smoothly, Lu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
Qi Lingxi nodded, "I can try, but after all, he is an Immortal. The moment I discover him, he will inevitably notice my probing, and then he might leave his original position."
Lu Chengfeng seemed thoughtful, "I see..." He paused and then said, "No matter, you start the probing now."
"Even if he escapes, we can continue to extract aura from that White Lotus. As long as the White Lotus is undying, we’ll catch his tail sooner or later."
"Alright, I’ll try!" Qi Lingxi took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
The ancient mirror overhead spun and transformed into a clear light, entering her brow, forming a vertical mark.
As time slowly passed, the vertical blue mark slowly opened like an eye, revolving with infinite radiance, countless runes appearing and vanishing.
Even above the Nine Heavens, endless winds and clouds gathered, lighting bursts formed a terrifying vortex. In the center of that vortex, green light spread, resembling a pupil.
This scene made Yi Hongchen’s pupils constrict; up until now, she realized she had completely misunderstood.
That ancient mirror was a heavy treasure that could communicate with the Heavenly Path Torrent, and the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, Qianyuan Golden Tripod, and Map of Mountains and Rivers she held didn’t have such an ancient and profound aura.
At this moment, it was as if Heaven opened its eyes, overlooking all beings.
...
On a small island in the North Sea, many demons densely populated the area; the Demon King here was a Tiger Demon, capable of killing Celestial Humans. It could also use innate magic to sacrifice Life Souls and refine Chang Ghosts, quite terrifying.
Hence, the creatures on surrounding islands referred to this island as Tiger Demon Island.
At the center of Tiger Demon Island was a mountain, with Black Iron Bamboo growing on it, where the Tiger Demon King resided.
In the Black Bamboo Forest, a black tiger as large as a small mountain lay on the ground, beside it, an old monk in a yellow robe, with a shriveled body and jade-like hands, chanted sutras with his eyes closed.
As he recited the sutras aloud, they transformed into golden runes, circling around his body.
While the gotra he recited enveloped his body in runes and Buddha Light.
Beside him, the black tiger was also covered by the golden Buddha Light, with black smoke constantly rising from it, ghostly shadows howling in a sinister, piercing wail, before finally being transcended into the Buddha Light.
The black tiger whimpered in pain, its body constantly wreathed in golden Buddha Light, with its body shrinking into less than half original size.
The tiger demon, where dared it uttered even half a word of refusal?
The old monk revealed a faint smile, stretched out his white jade-like palm and patted the tiger demon’s head, "Since that is so, hurry up and shrink yourself down."
As he finished speaking, the tiger demon shrank to a smaller size although it remained much larger than an ordinary tiger, it was not as terrifying as before.
The tiger demon flattened its front paws to the ground, before it shot into the sea, creating a black whirlwind, heading across the water.
