Chapter 293, 1 Debate
"Li Lan?!"
When she saw who was behind her, even the usually calm Miao Wuyu could no longer remain composed. A look of panic appeared in her beautiful eyes as she exclaimed, "How did you get here?!"
Li Lan left the relic here as bait, yet he himself did not escape.
Instead, they are still waiting, passively waiting for something to happen.
At this moment, she felt a genuine fear inexplicably. Li Lan was an unfathomable devil who could manipulate and toy with her at any time. In front of him, she felt like a puppet on strings.
Li Lan had already guessed that she would chase after him, and she also guessed that she would invoke the gods. So, after inducing her to do all this, she made her move... And at this moment, she herself had almost no ability to resist.
"The Holy Maiden wants to see me, how can I let her down?"
Li Lan smiled slightly.
"Go to hell!"
Cihang Saintess gritted her teeth, and a beam of light shot towards Li Lan. A talisman in her hand was already burning—a teleportation talisman—she wanted to escape.
But Li Lan simply raised her hand, and a powerful pressure descended, extinguishing the teleportation talisman after it had only burned halfway. Her attack was completely ineffective against Li Lan.
"How is this possible... your physical body hasn't collapsed yet?"
Miao Wuyu was even more shocked.
A key reason she dared to chase after him was that, in her view, Li Lan's physical body definitely couldn't withstand the Emperor-level soul he displayed, and his physical body might even be torn to pieces!
But now it seems that Li Lan is still able to make a move, and there is no problem at all.
This shouldn't be the case.
"Not quite right."
Li Lan smiled and said, "Since the Holy Maiden is so reluctant to part with me, please come with me—"
After saying that, he immediately took action and subdued Miao Wuyu. At the same time, his eyes flashed, and he activated his Heavenly Eye, carefully searching Miao Wuyu's body.
This woman comes from a noble family and has an extremely powerful background. She may even possess other treasures. We must investigate her thoroughly to avoid causing trouble for ourselves.
When Miao Wuyu was looked at by Li Lan, she felt as if she could not hide, as if Li Lan had seen through her most private parts. A blush rose to her face, and she said angrily:
"You invisible brat!"
Li Lan laughed: "Didn't the Holy Maiden say that all forms, smells, sounds, tastes, touches, and dharmas are empty? If that's the case, why bother with this 'stinking skin'?"
Without any hesitation, he reached out and snatched the Sumeru Ring from her hand.
The Sumeru Ring contained quite a few good items, including no less than 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, hundreds of various precious pills, hundreds of teleportation talismans and attack talismans, and two magic treasures.
In addition, there are several gauze garments, which are also treasures.
"Even the shoes are treasures?"
Li Lan went to take off her shoes, and Miao Wuyu was immediately furious and struggled. Li Lan simply straddled her, pinned her down, and forcibly took off her soft-soled cloud boots, revealing a pair of beautiful feet wearing white silk stockings.
"These socks aren't ordinary items either?"
Li Lan was surprised, then took off her socks and put them into his storage ring.
It wasn't that Li Lan had any perverse tastes or weird ideas; it was purely for safety reasons.
These treasures are extraordinary. The Cihang Holy Land might be able to track them down, so we must nip all potential threats in the bud.
"This veil has the effect of blocking divine sense detection. Now that it's just the two of us, the Holy Maiden doesn't need to wear it anymore, right?"
Finally, Li Lan reached out to remove the veil from her face, but Cihang Saintess's eyes flashed with panic. She gripped Li Lan's wrists tightly with both hands, trying to stop him, but Li Lan showed no mercy and swept the veil off her face.
At this moment, even though Li Lan had experienced countless life-and-death battles in the underworld and seen countless celestial beauties, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, because the Holy Maiden Cihang... was really too beautiful.
Her eyes were like deep stars, her eyebrows like willow branches, and every bone in her face seemed to be a creation of heaven, supporting her flawless features. She had a high nose bridge, snow-white skin, and her slightly trembling lips like rose petals. Most importantly, her originally ascetic face was now tinged with long-lost emotions, anger, humiliation, and so on, making her face even more fatally attractive.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is the embodiment of beauty!
"My Buddhist vow has been broken; I shall die for my principles!"
She suddenly whispered, and then a powerful force erupted from her heart. Li Lan instantly realized... she was about to self-destruct!
Li Lan was startled and hurriedly suppressed it, but the power she was wielding was truly mysterious. In just an instant, her internal organs were severely injured, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. A bitter smile appeared in her eyes, as if she had once again become the Cihang Saintess who saw through everything and remained calm and detached.
"Li Lan, you broke my Buddhist vow. You deserve to die now, but one day I will definitely kill you..."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fainted.
Her life force was rapidly fading, and she was about to perish in the blink of an eye.
"wanna die?"
Li Lan frowned slightly; this woman was still of great use to him!
Li Lan urgently needed to know about the situation at Cihang Holy Land, their clues and information about their investigation into the underworld, and even more so, she herself was a priceless treasure that could be used to exchange for huge benefits with Cihang Holy Land.
Therefore, she cannot die.
Without hesitation, Li Lan activated the Heaven-Mending Technique and began to repair her body!
Although she was severely injured, the method of mending the heavens was left by Nuwa, which can mend the leaks in the heavens and the deficiencies in the Great Dao. Healing her injuries and saving her life were beyond her capabilities. The power of mending the heavens flowed through her internal organs, and she slowly showed signs of recovery.
Li Lan swept her up in his arms, turned around, and quickly disappeared.
……
Soon after.
"Where is the saintess?"
Jingchan and her group finally arrived at this place.
"This is... a statue of a deity?!"
They found the blood-stained Buddha statue that Li Lan had discarded in the sand!
-- Of course, Li Lan couldn't possibly take the statue with him when he left.
"Why would the Bodhisattva statue be left in the sand?... Holy Maiden, something must have happened!"
Jingchan spoke in a trembling voice, "We can't contact her at all now, it's all over..."
She knew how important the Blood Bodhisattva statue was; if she hadn't been completely powerless to resist, the Holy Maiden would never have allowed the statue to be so humiliated!
Therefore, the current situation of the Holy Maiden Cihang is absolutely perilous...
Whether they are still alive or not, it's all the same thing?
"Quickly, report to the Holy Land! Report to the Holy Land!"
She panicked completely and said, "Also, send a message to all the major forces in the Ziwei Holy Land and ask them to help search!"
……
The news sent another wave of aftershocks through the region!
"What?! The Holy Maiden Cihang was killed by Li Lan?!"
"No, it's not certain whether they're dead or not, but they've already disappeared. They've either been captured or killed!"
"My God, is Li Lan really too ruthless? He just escaped from the Ziwei Holy Land and captured Cihang Saintess in the blink of an eye. Is he defying the heavens?!"
The shock was immense, and everyone was stunned.
Who doesn't know the fame of the Cihang Holy Land? Ten Great Emperors have emerged one after another, and its glory has never been interrupted. It can be called one of the strongest forces in the world, and no one dares to disrespect it.
But now, even the saintess has perished!
……
Within the sacred land of Ziwei.
The Holy Master Ziwei slammed her hand on the table, furious!
The cooked duck just flew away like that!
Moreover, they lost the Emperor Zhuanxu Pearl, and now even the Holy Maiden Cihang has encountered trouble in the Ziwei Star Region...
Each and every one of these incidents is a slap in the face to their sacred land, Ziwei.
"How to do?"
His eyes blazed with anger: "One Li Lan has caused such chaos! If this continues, what will the gods think of our Ziwei Holy Land? How will we explain this?"
But the elders remained silent, only sighing.
"Holy Lord,"
At the critical moment, Xin Yunhe still had to bite the bullet and speak up, saying, "This matter is not the fault of the elders. The responsibility lies with Yunhe. I did not expect that Li Lan's strength would actually reach the Emperor level!"
"In Yunhe's opinion, it is already difficult to defeat Li Lan by relying solely on the strength of our Ziwei Holy Land."
Everyone nodded.
Finding, capturing, and killing a great emperor is extremely difficult unless one seeks death.
"You mean to invite the gods?" asked the Holy Master Ziwei.
"Yes, we must invoke the gods, but the key is that we must first find Li Lan..."
Xin Yunhe stood up and said, "The scheme that Yunhe has laid out actually still has a backup plan. Holy Lord, why don't you do this..."
He spoke slowly and carefully, and the Holy Lord of Ziwei listened attentively. After a long while, he and many elders in the room couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"This is the only way."
The Holy Lord of Ziwei said, "Let's do it this way!"
He paused, then continued, "Furthermore, the Demonic Sect has gone unpunished for years, yet they dared to provoke us this time. It's time to teach them a lesson..."
If it weren't for the interference of Demon Fifteen and Demon Zhuang, the Ziwei Holy Land could have summoned deities to suppress and kill Li Lan outside Ziwei City that day.
Therefore, they have become enraged towards the evil cult.
"I'll make the arrangements to wipe out the entire evil sect!"
Xin Yunhe also said with a gloomy expression.
……
In a small town, in a simple house.
Miao Wuyu felt a splitting headache. Her hands trembled slightly, and she finally opened her eyes with difficulty. She found herself in a simple and tidy room, lying on a bamboo bed.
"Where...is this place...?"
She felt completely drained and managed to sit up with difficulty.
"Shouldn't I be dead already? How could I be..."
She subconsciously tried to use her spiritual power to look inside, only to find that all her power had been completely sealed!
At this moment, she seemed to have become a completely ordinary mortal!
She placed her hand on her heart, and felt its strong beating. She finally understood that she was not dead!
But why...?
She had clearly self-destructed, so how could she have recovered now?
Moreover, her clothes had been changed; she was now wearing ordinary people's coarse linen clothes.
She struggled to her feet, nearly staggering as she lost her spiritual power and cultivation, leaving her barely able to walk.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
"Li Lan!"
When she saw the person walk in, her face changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You treacherous villain!"
Li Lan, now dressed as a farmer, smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead and curse me. We'll talk when you've had your fill."
He turned and was about to leave.
"stop!"
Miao Wuyu hurriedly called out to him.
Li Lan smiled, sat down, poured two cups of tea, and said, "Try it. This bitter tea from the mortal realm can clear your mind."
She took a deep breath, sat down, picked up the tea, took a sip, and found it to be extremely bitter, just as its name suggested. She instinctively spat it out.
As a holy maiden of the Cihang Holy Land, she had always eaten things that were full of spiritual energy and extremely rare. How could she have ever tasted such a flavor?
