Chapter 607: Yaoyao Takes Action

“You want him dead?”

When that icy, clear, and melodious voice rang out from the red lips of the stunning girl in green atop the stone pagoda, the temperature of the entire manor seemed to plummet.

That chill made countless people shiver, then gaze at the slender figure with fear in their eyes.

“Who is that?”

“Judging by the emblem on her sleeve, she should be from Cangxuan Sect, but why have I never heard of her…?”

“To dare speak to Jinchanzi like that, she must be a Saint Son of Cangxuan Sect. But I’ve never heard of such a person among the Cangxuan Sect’s seven Saint Sons…”

“Among Cangxuan Sect’s seven Saint Sons, only Li Qingchan is female, and she’s breathtakingly beautiful, but clearly, this isn’t her.”

Various murmurs spread quietly, but most people were more confused. After all, Yaoyao had not entered the ranks of Cangxuan Sect’s Saint Sons, nor had her name been widely known, so many were quite unfamiliar with her.

“Yaoyao!”

While others were unfamiliar, Zuoqiu Qingyu, atop the pavilion, excitedly stood up, her beautiful eyes shining as she stared at the stunning girl standing gracefully on the distant pagoda’s peak.

“Qingyu, who is she?” a chief from the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace couldn’t help but ask.

The shock brought by the green-clothed girl’s appearance was considerable. Although no one felt strong source qi fluctuations from her, the dangerous aura emanating from her body was as strong as, if not stronger than, Jinchanzi’s.

“Her name is Yaoyao. She’s a companion who came with us from the Vast Continent, and she has a very good relationship with that guy, Zhou Yuan,” Zuoqiu Qingyu said.

“Came with you from the Saint Continent?” The chief from Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace paused, then asked, “But what about her strength?”

“Yaoyao is the most mysterious,” Zuoqiu Qingyu said with a smile. “I haven’t quite figured out her strength myself. She’s always been the strongest among us; even Zhou Yuan falls short compared to her.”

“Now, Jinchanzi’s in for it.”

Liu Fu, the chief from Heavenly Ghost Mansion, interjected, “What are you talking about? Jinchanzi ranks fifth on the Saint Son list. Among all the Saint Sons in Cangxuan, only a handful can defeat him.”

However, Zuoqiu Qingyu merely cast a sidelong glance at him, completely ignoring him, which thoroughly infuriated Liu Fu.

“I’d like to see what she’s capable of to dare say she’ll make Jinchanzi unlucky…”

“Yaoyao?”

When Zhou Yuan saw the familiar figure, he was stunned for a moment, then broke into a brilliant smile, quickly waving to her with a gentle expression.

However, Yaoyao merely cast a light glance at him with her bright eyes before looking away. Her dismissive attitude made Zhou Yuan sheepishly rub his nose.

He knew that Yaoyao must have seen him being ambushed by Jinchanzi earlier, and her current attitude was a rebuke for his lack of caution when facing an enemy.

Yaoyao ignored Zhou Yuan, her cold, piercing eyes turning towards Jinchanzi.

Meanwhile, Jinchanzi also shifted all his attention to Yaoyao. He recognized her because they had previously fought with several Saint Sons of Cangxuan Sect, so he knew that Cangxuan Sect now had this person named Yaoyao.

However, Yaoyao rarely made a move. Instead, the mysterious small beast accompanying her was extremely fierce, its combat power no less than that of a Saint Son.

“So it’s a Saint Son from Cangxuan Sect. You arrived quickly. But since you’re here, it seems I won’t be able to teach that boy a lesson anymore. Let’s call it a day,” Jinchanzi said with a faint smile.

With that, he took a step towards the Sacred Palace disciples.

However, just as he moved, an invisible surge of Spirit power suddenly howled forth, striking fiercely.

Jade-green source qi surged from within Jinchanzi, forming a halo of source qi around him, repelling the invisible Spirit power. His body trembled slightly.

“Who told you it ends here today?” Yaoyao’s icy eyes bore down, as she spoke slowly.

Jinchanzi’s golden vertical pupils also focused on Yaoyao as he sneered, “Oh? Are you suggesting you want to fight me? Currently, the Saint Sons from all sects are conquering this Great Profound Mountain Range, and all parties are at peace. Do you want to break this equilibrium, causing everyone to fall into chaos again, thus preventing the greatest fortune from being unsealed?”

Yaoyao’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. “What does that fortune have to do with me? Whether you get it or not, what does it matter to me?”

Jinchanzi was taken aback. His own actions were already considered erratic and unscrupulous, but he hadn’t expected that the impossibly beautiful girl before him would act with even less regard for consequences.

It seemed that even the greatest fortune within the Profound Origin Grotto-Heaven held no weight in her words.

“What do you want?” Jinchanzi said coldly.

“I told you, since you want him dead, then you go die first.” Yaoyao’s eyelids lowered slightly, but from her smooth forehead, a vast surge of Spirit power suddenly erupted.

The entire manor trembled violently at that moment. Then, countless fearful gazes watched as the ground cracked, and countless boulders rose into the air, as if clutched by an invisible giant hand, finally forming an enormous sphere.

The sphere was perfectly round, casting a shadow that covered half the manor.

The next instant, the massive sphere smashed down violently, covered in invisible Spirit power. The air around it shrieked with a sonic boom, its momentum terrifying.

Jinchanzi’s pupils constricted slightly at the sight. Daring not to delay further, he abruptly clasped his hands together, and jade-green source qi surged skyward, transforming directly into a massive source qi palm.

“Myriad Poison Hand!”

Poisonous fumes billowed from the enormous source qi palm, emitting a pungent, foul odor.

The two clashed violently, and instantly, it was as if the sky was falling and the earth rending. The manor shook intensely, and a shockwave erupted, leveling the entire estate in an instant.

Countless figures shot out in disarray, landing scattered around.

Their frightened gazes fixed on the center of the battle.

There, the stunning green-clothed girl still stood atop the pagoda, while in the distance, Jinchanzi was sent flying backward. His face was now slightly grim.

A trace of blood even appeared at the corner of his eye.

“What formidable Spirit power!”

Jinchanzi spoke grimly. Although he had shattered the enormous sphere earlier, the Spirit power covering it had attacked him like a shadow, directly stinging his spirit. If he had been any slower in dispelling it with source qi, his very spirit might have been obliterated by the opponent’s Spirit power.

Around the manor, countless eyes watching this scene secretly gasped, as no one had expected Jinchanzi to be at a slight disadvantage in this exchange.

Could this green-clothed girl truly be so terrifying?

Not far away, Zuoqiu Qingyu clicked her tongue in admiration. Then she glanced at Liu Fu, the chief from Heavenly Ghost Mansion, and said with a smile, “Well?”

Liu Fu, now pale-faced, stared at Yaoyao in the distance with frightened eyes. Then, he offered Zuoqiu Qingyu an awkward smile, not daring to utter another word.

That girl was someone even Jinchanzi found hard to contend with. He, a mere grasshopper, shouldn’t leap about anymore, lest he be casually crushed. Based on his understanding of the Heavenly Ghost Mansion’s Saint Sons, they certainly wouldn’t come to avenge him…

“Have you had enough fun?” In the manor, now leveled, Jinchanzi stared at Yaoyao and spoke coldly.

“Fun?”

“Do you think I’m playing with you?” Yaoyao said softly.

“I just said… since you want him dead, then you, too, must die here today!”

As her voice fell, an extremely vast amount of Spirit power suddenly condensed between Yaoyao’s brows. Finally, an almost invisible flame formed from her forehead, drifting down to land in her jade-like hand.

That invisible flame, seemingly extremely faint, caused Jinchanzi’s expression to drastically change the moment he saw it. His vertical pupils constricted to the size of needlepoints.

“Soulflame?!”

His voice, tinged with a hint of terror, also rang out at that moment.
