CHAPTER 773: CHAPTER 194 JADE FOX GU XI

"I only told you to handle matters, not to ask questions. My patience is limited, if you don’t show up now, don’t blame me for turning hostile and refusing to recognize you."

Zhou Yan said with a cold voice.

At this moment, the overwhelming aura of the former Lei Yan King was fully manifested.

He would slaughter a city without a second thought.

All the Cultivators from outside the Ancient City were shaking with fear, shocked by Zhou Yan’s terrifying killing methods. The former Lei Yan King had truly returned.

"Have you finally come?"

Suddenly, an extraordinary woman appeared between Heaven and Earth, dressed in red with a crimson skirt, a beauty mark on her forehead, strikingly beautiful.

She looked at Zhou Yan, her gaze indifferent.

She held the Soul Sea Jade Bottle in her hand and, with a gentle toss toward the Void, instantly everything that was destroyed was reborn. All who had perished had returned.

Then, from the Jade Bottle in her hand, nine beams of knife-light emerged, transforming into nine-tailed wings that appeared behind her.

Next, another woman emerged from the Jade Bottle, a woman Zhou Yan was very familiar with, except that she was covered in a plain white dress and appeared deeply at peace in her slumber.

"I’m here."

Zhou Yan replied calmly, his expression complex as he gazed at the woman in the white dress, a trace of haggardness on his face.

"This is all a preordained inheritance, and moreover, she has recognized you as her master, hasn’t she."

"Yes."

Zhou Yan smiled faintly, a smile tinged with sorrow, and said, "I’ve always been puzzled about how a woman from a lower Plane, who couldn’t recover, could survive in the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain without perishing, and then, upon entering the Lei Yan Continent, she could suffer such soul fragmentation yet retain her own Spiritual Wisdom."

"I didn’t understand before, and I still don’t understand entirely, but right now, I suddenly have some understanding."

"I created Tianji Mountain for myself, and Zhuge Wuwei is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao Rules that I condensed from the Qiankun Dao, derived from the Ghost Fox Soul. Zhuge Gu Yan, the son of Zhuge Wuwei, naturally inherited this.

So, Uncle Gu Yan’s daughter Gu Xi must also be of the Ghost Fox Soul.

However, since the Fang Family’s Qiankun Dao originates from the Tai Chu era’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect, combined with the Heavenly Mechanism and the charming inheritance of Jade Fox, this would be the most terrifying inheritance of the Supreme Dao, an invincible enchantment, a cunning Heavenly Mechanism. If you add the Life Soul force of the Holy Daughter, how terrifying would such an inheritance be? The magnitude of your inheritance is truly remarkable."

"But I know that Gu Xi genuinely cared about me, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone to Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, it was to lead me to White Fox Bai Ying. Bai Ying, with such strong power, couldn’t recover because the inheritance soul of White Fox lived on in Gu Xi in the next life.

Such an inheritance, transforming bloodline, personifying charm, unexpected by all, such an inheritance would not cease even if destroyed in the Endless Ice Palace."

"Have I spent my whole life in a game set by others? Should I save Gu Xi, let Gu Xi die, and fulfil Bai Ying? Or let Bai Ying die for the sake of Gu Xi? How ironic."

Zhou Yan’s voice was filled with inexplicable sorrow. He seemed to be speaking, but his words were only understood by her and Princess Hongyi.

"Bai Ying, aren’t you coming out?! Is this how you treat your master?"

Zhou Yan shouted angrily.

"She hasn’t come here; she is just a fox given a new life, and Gu Xi is just Gu Xi, isn’t she?"

Princess Hongyi looked forlorn, showing no surprise from being exposed, only that sorrowful look, so real and indifferent.

"What else do you want to say?"

Zhou Yan demanded coldly.

"You revived Gu Xi, and had her cultivate with Bai Ying, restarting the Rebellious Bone cultivation method and each of them began the final inheritance of the Jade Fox lineage. Lei Yan King lived into his next life, and in a special way enabled Lee Ran to cultivate the Supreme Dao, resulting in several Lee Rans. But are those Lee Rans still Lee Ran? Or should I say, are you, Zhou Yan, still Lei Yan King? What about Yang Qingtan, who died, is he still Lei Yan King?"

Commandery Princess Hongyi said indifferently.

She continued, "I am but a poor creature controlled by the Soul Control Profound Meaning of Lee Ran’s family. The agreements he made with the master of the Endless Ice Palace, we can only carry out. And I am the executor here. Lei Yan King met me when he first came here, so you will meet me again here, it is the destiny of this heaven and earth, something that is bound to happen.

So I have been waiting for you, only when you arrive can I finally be released."

Commandery Princess Hongyi sighed.

"This... are you saying that both Bai Ying and Gu Xi will be inheritors?"

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

"Yes, the enemy is very powerful, so at all costs, we must have dual inheritances to ensure a backup. Bai Ying carries on the orthodox inheritance, whereas Gu Xi holds the Life Chart of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. If you repair her Soul Loss using your Rebellious Bone and Vast Qi Soul, she will have a different kind of mutant inheritance.

What realm will the two of them reach, who knows? But Gu Xi’s love for you has never changed."

"Scribe, White Fox. Lee Sha, have you forgotten the little white fox that accompanied you when you were abandoned at the Lee’s? That was the previous life of Gu Xi."

Commandery Princess Hongyi sighed again.

The phrase ’Lee Sha’ shattered the Memory Crystal in the middle of Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea.

With a ’pop’, the Memory Crystal fragmented.

Apart from the gaps in memories from the battle with Jiang He, all other memories returned.

Zhou Yan felt as if his soul suddenly experienced a surge, and in an instant, he felt that he truly ’revived.’

He had a strong sensation of ’I have finally awakened.’

Things and people are not as they used to be.

The silly Sha, the naive little White Fox.

The foolish Zhou Yan, the adorable young girl Gu Xi.

In the Crystal Coffin, he whispered, and Gu Xi shed tears inside the coffin.

When he faced danger, Gu Xi’s inheritance was involuntarily activated; fresh red blood appeared from the void, granting the Void Soul the ability to act, and it was then Yan Yan could make a move...

It turned out that among those who guarded Zhou Yan, there was one Gu Xi that even she herself did not know.

This affection had seeped deep into the soul, guarding involuntarily, sensing danger passively...

In that instant, Zhou Yan’s eyes grew sore, and he felt the urge to cry.

"How... how is she now?"

"The Nine Origin Soul Sea emerged, the Tianji Mountain was exposed, and Wu Ji’s identity was discovered and led here by me. The Emperor Burial Crystal Coffin returned to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb, it must guard the ’Rotating Channel’, which is the hopeful entrance for you to return to your Ancestor Land. So, I brought Gu Xi here.

Her soul is not pure, and there’s the conflict of the Tianji Mountain’s Life Chart, so it needs the Life Soul of the Holy Daughter, known for neutralizing everything, to counterbalance; but now with your progress to Soul Path Vast Qi, the Spirit of Taichu, the effect is even better."

"We also have the Extreme Cold Ice Soul Stone here, but that is the core of the Endless Ice Palace, only you can retrieve it, we cannot. I can now open the depths of the Forbidden Land of the Endless Ice Palace for you. There is no danger inside, you can go and retrieve it. Or you may choose to doubt me, thinking it is a Prison where I trap you."

"You, decide for yourself."

Commandery Princess Hongyi looked at Zhou Yan with a calm gaze as she spoke.
