Chapter 251 : Suo Huan

Chapter 251: Suo Huan

Facing the handsome young man in the mirror, True Person Miaoyin remained expressionless on the surface, yet her mind was constantly turning, preparing to respond to the other party's inquiries.

After all, this 【True Person Suo Huan】 was no ordinary person.

Strictly speaking, he was a cultivator from beyond the heavens, but the world he came from had already been destroyed, shattered by various True Lords and fully merged into this world.

He was the only one who had escaped.

If Lü Yang were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize the other party, because he had once discussed this matter with Chong Guang.

That was an accident during a battle for the Dao.

The Sword Pavilion, Primordial Saint Sect, Dao Court, and Pure Land—four True Lords had joined forces to capture the foreign world.

Even Foundation Establishment True Persons had taken the field, and only after a great battle did they finally take down that world.

That foreign world had almost condensed a Dao Fruit, but was interrupted by the True Lords, and only the chosen child of destiny managed to escape.

And that child of destiny was 【Suo Huan】.

Since then, he had wandered overseas, continuously hunting disciples of the Four Great Sects who ventured into the sea.

Most people believed he was seeking revenge.

However, True Person Miaoyin knew that was not the case.

This cultivator from beyond the heavens had far greater ambitions.

He hunted the disciples of the Four Great Sects not for revenge, but for 【Qi Harvesting】! To ascend and seek Gold!

After all, when it came to the essence of this world, the disciples of the Four Great Sects were definitely among the best.

Especially the Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Four Great Sects.

Even rogue cultivators like Wu Cang possessed a certain level of talent and were suitable targets for 【Qi Harvesting】.

If even Wu Cang was worth targeting, then Lü Yang was even more so.

After all, the name 【Yuan Tu】 now carried some fame overseas, and the notorious incident where he publicly humiliated the Sword Pavilion's fairy was spreading rapidly.

Thus, Suo Huan quickly realized what was going on.

However, he did not show any signs of being tempted.

Instead, he revealed a wary expression and said:

“You mean that True Person Yuan Tu? He caused quite a stir overseas not long ago. I almost went there myself. This is not someone to be trifled with.”

The "stir" Suo Huan mentioned naturally referred to Lü Yang's fishing operation overseas.

Affected by the killing intent of heaven and earth, Suo Huan, who had also been overseas at the time, had nearly gone over.

It was only because there was no karmic entanglement between him and Lü Yang that he ultimately refrained from entering the scene.

Otherwise, he would have already died violently by now.

“Rest assured.”

True Person Miaoyin quickly replied when she saw this:

“You saw the True Lords’ battle earlier.”

“True Lord Feixue was seriously injured and is about to retreat into seclusion to heal in her cave heaven.”

“At that time, he will have no True Lord backing him.”

“Moreover, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.”

At this point, True Person Miaoyin's tone carried a hint of temptation:

“If you kill Yuan Tu, your 【Lingxu Blessed Land】 will surely complete its Qi Harvesting.”

“Then you can seek Gold and have a chance to revive your world!”

“.”

True Person Miaoyin's words sent Suo Huan on the other side of the mirror into deep thought.

The 【Lingxu Blessed Land】 he mentioned was his greatest reliance while roaming overseas.

Because the 【Lingxu Blessed Land】 was the seed formed by his former world at the moment of its destruction.

It was the embryonic form of a Dao Fruit.

Since escaping with his life, he had been trying to use Qi Harvesting methods to help the 【Lingxu Blessed Land】 devour a Dao Fruit of this world.

In this way, not only could his former world and homeland be revived.

His cultivation would also soar, and not only could he achieve the position of True Lord, he could even obtain a new world as his Dao field and become a leader among the True Lords.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you should understand that.”

True Person Miaoyin believed she understood Suo Huan's thoughts well.

After all, Suo Huan had killed so many inland cultivators and obtained many spiritual materials and treasures.

He always needed to offload those goods somewhere.

And she was one of Suo Huan’s channels for that.

Thus, the two had secretly dealt with each other for a long time and knew each other’s ways well.

Otherwise, True Person Miaoyin would not have chosen to approach him.

“Well?”

True Person Miaoyin spoke again.

This time, Suo Huan finally responded:

“Offering kindness for no reason is either flattery or theft. Miaoyin, what do you want this time?”

“I want you to protect me during my tribulation!”

True Person Miaoyin spoke in a deep voice:

“I have already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, and I have found both the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend energies.”

“I am just one step away from crossing the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but I lack confidence.”

“I only need you to open up your 【Lingxu】 Blessed Land and let me undergo my tribulation there to weaken the power of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.”

“As for the damage to your Blessed Land, I will naturally compensate you afterward with Yuan Tu.”

“With his talent, the Qi harvested after killing him will be more than enough to make up for all your losses.”

“Moreover, if I break through, I can join you in killing Yuan Tu.”

True Person Miaoyin laid out her bargaining chips.

Suo Huan thought for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head:

“... Kill Yuan Tu first, then you may enter the Blessed Land.”

“Fine!”

This was within True Person Miaoyin’s expectations.

So she nodded decisively:

“Then we kill Yuan Tu first, but I want you to sign a Heart-Link Contract with me.”

“Only then can we ensure that no one will break their word.”

“Of course.”

Suo Huan nodded without refusal.

Only then did True Person Miaoyin reveal a relaxed expression.

Changing the subject, she smiled brightly:

“Speaking of our deal… how much longer must I wait for our previous transaction?”

“A 【Heavenly Water Kan-He Treasure Pill】 requires rare spiritual materials, and I entrusted you to search overseas for me.”

“After all these years, do you have any leads?”

Suo Huan laughed upon hearing this:

“That’s quite the coincidence.”

“The timing of your message couldn’t be better.”

“I’ve had my eye on a target for a long time, one that perfectly matches your requirements.”

“Judging by the timing, it should be about ready to fall into the trap.”

“Oh?”

True Person Miaoyin was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

In the next second, the image in the mirror suddenly became violently distorted, clearly due to the eruption of spiritual energy.

“... It’s here!”

Soon, Suo Huan’s somewhat cheerful laughter came through the mirror.

In the next moment, Suo Huan adjusted the mirror to reveal a grand formation radiating dazzling light into the sky.

The formation looked like a bright dome, completely suppressing a large section of the sea beneath it.

The originally turbulent sea water inside the formation had become as solid as rock.

No matter how powerful the magical techniques used, they could not stir up the slightest wave.

It was truly a formation designed to restrain the water element.

In the next moment—

“Roar!”

A resonating dragon roar echoed beneath the sea, followed by the explosion of waves.

From within, a mighty dragon body as tall as a mountain leapt into the air.

That dragon was none other than the mid-Foundation Establishment Dragon King, Sui Ying, who had previously been lured by Chong Guang’s 【Dongyang Blessed Land】 to travel far inland.

It was the same Sui Ying who had once joined forces with Lü Yang to repel Ye Guyue and had even received half a piece of 【Yin Dragon Water】 from Lü Yang’s hands.

Yet now, it looked utterly wretched.

Originally, Sui Ying had thought that by returning inland and reclaiming half of the 【Yin Dragon Water】, it could refine it into a pill and greatly advance its cultivation.

But unexpectedly, it had fallen into a trap instead.

Realizing this, Sui Ying immediately opened its blood-filled maw and let out a thunderous roar:

“Suo Huan! How dare you trap me with a formation!?”

Suo Huan smiled upon hearing this.

While holding the treasured mirror to relay the scene to True Person Miaoyin in real time, he casually flicked his sleeve and stepped into the formation.

“Sui Ying, you are mistaken.”

“I have dwelled overseas for over six hundred years, and we have met more than a few times.”

“Surely you know my ways by now?”

“What is there that I would not dare?”

The smiling words carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down Sui Ying’s spine, making it freeze mid-roar.

Sui Ying had clearly heard the killing intent in Suo Huan’s voice.
