Above all spirits

Chapter 371 Bai Qing'er

Chen Yuan's face darkened. He tried to draw his sword, but found that he couldn't budge it an inch from Gu Yun's grasp, as if he were being held between two mountains.

He knew there was a gap between himself and a pseudo-innate being, but he didn't expect the gap to be so large.

To be precise, the gap between him and Gu Yun is so huge.

This sword was the first opportunity Chen Yuan found in the Demon Realm.

The Demon-Sealing Blade.

This sword has a strong baleful aura and a powerful corrosive ability. If I didn't possess the Nine Netherworld Emperor's Will, I wouldn't have been able to control it at all.

When a normal person comes into contact with it, they will immediately be entangled by the evil energy, their emotions will change drastically and they will lose their rationality. Even if a pseudo-innate person is corrupted, they will not be able to get rid of it immediately.

But Gu Yun in front of me managed to completely isolate herself.

The special feature of the Demon-Sealing Blade does not actually lie in the blade itself.

Although it is rumored that its former owner was a powerful pseudo-innate supreme expert, the Demon Sealing Blade itself belongs to the category of high-grade spiritual treasures or even top-grade spiritual treasures.

But Chen Yuan's vision was so vast that he couldn't possibly consider a mere top-grade spiritual treasure as an opportunity. Spiritual treasures from the lower realms were like scrap metal after the collapse of the heavens, and spiritual treasures without spirit-forging were of too low a level.

What Chen Yuan valued was that there was a hidden sword spirit within this Demon-Sealing Blade.

All things have a spirit, but divine weapons are merciless.

But that's not the case.

Even divine weapons can bring life.

These spirits are a rare and special race in the world; the spirit race can possess a body and merge into a weapon.

And that's exactly what Chen Yuan values.

The difference between weapons blessed by the Spirit Race and those without is like heaven and earth.

That's why.

After the collapse of the heavens, many gods and demons began to capture the spirit race, and even disregarded the special nature of the spirit realm, attacking it in order to further enhance the spiritual treasures in their hands.

Chen Yuan was able to obtain the Demon-Sealing Blade in this life because he was very familiar with it due to his memories of fighting it in his previous life. He was able to master it by negotiating with the blade spirit.

With the Demon-Sealing Blade in his hand, he was confident that he could defeat enemies of higher levels.

Since he was reborn and obtained the Demon-Sealing Blade.

Many holy bodies died at his hands.

With a thought, Chen Yuan caused the Demon-Sealing Blade to dissipate as black spiritual energy, briefly forming a humanoid phantom in the air before returning to its original form and condensing back into the Demon-Sealing Blade in Chen Yuan's hand.

This allowed them to easily break free from Gu Yun's control.

Seeing that Gu Yun was blocking the doorway and wouldn't take another step, Chen Yuan unconsciously took two steps back, warily watching those eyes that were now even more curious about him, searching for an opportunity to break through.

Gu Yun, however, did not pay attention to Chen Yuan's tense expression and chuckled lightly.

"What kind of strange ability is this? It's even smoother than the Creation Divine Iron. To be honest, I'm starting to feel reluctant to search your soul. You have too many secrets."

"I consider myself quite knowledgeable, yet I've repeatedly encountered obstacles with you. If I were to attempt a soul search, I'm afraid I would still lose a great deal."

"How about this."

Gu Yun extended one hand to Chen Yuan, made a fist, then raised three fingers and said casually.

"I'll only ask you three questions. If you can answer two of them, I promise not to lay a hand on you again. Then we can discuss your next steps, how about that?"

"of course."

A purple flame flashed in Gu Yun's eyes, and the invisible pressure of the Heavenly Demon was released instantly.

If you continue to lie to me.

"I can say that with certainty."

"today."

"You cannot leave the Demon Realm alive."

The moment the words left his mouth, Chen Yuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he shivered involuntarily. The pressure Gu Yun put on him was too great, and he did not doubt the truthfulness of her words.

Even if I used all my skills, I might not be able to gain any advantage over him.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, then sighed heavily.

He sheathed the Demon-Sealing Blade, mentally calculating his next move.

According to Gu Yun, the implication was that she didn't need to answer his questions about her origins, and naturally, he wouldn't pursue how she learned about Tian Qing.

This relieved Chen Yuan of some of the many worries that had been weighing on his mind.

Anything related to his rebirth is forbidden to him.

And among them.

Chen Yuan guessed.

One question might be asked about the Demon-Sealing Blade, and it's not some earth-shattering secret that can't be told. The Spirit Race is not unique, but the Spirit Race's recognition of its master is unique. Unless one dies, and even that's not enough; one must also gain the Demon-Sealing Blade's recognition.

So, by this calculation, I only need to answer one question from Gu Yun to get away.

The difference in social standing is too great.

Chen Yuan had no other choice.

"Thank you, Demon Lord. I hope you will keep your promise. I, Chen Yuan, will tell you everything I know."

Gu Yun nodded and gestured to Chen Yuan that he didn't need to be so reserved.

"Sit, sit, sit."

"Keep a calm mind."

“Let’s just chat casually. You don’t need to be so wary of me. Many things in the lower realm are dispensable to me.”

Chen Yuan twitched his lips, completely disbelieving Gu Yun's explanation.

Just moments before, they had been thinking of controlling him and performing a soul search.

Only a fool would believe that.

Moreover, many things about him no longer belong to the realm of the lower world.

Especially the Reincarnation Jade.

One of the Ten Great Chaos Treasures.

Once this news was released, Chen Yuan had a vague feeling that the world might collapse ahead of schedule. The reason was that all the gods and demons couldn't sit still and wanted to turn back time.

Even demon kings and god kings have things they regret.

If he could do it all over again, Chen Yuan was certain that these people would stop at nothing to snatch the Reincarnation Jade from him.

Therefore, he didn't believe that the demon in front of him could hold back.

"kindness..."

"I won't press you about your personal issues. Everyone has secrets, and I won't force you."

"Of course that counts as one. You'd better answer the next two carefully."

Gu Yun appeared calm and casual, speaking as he pleased, but in Chen Yuan's eyes, it was like the whispers of a demon.

Chen Yuan nodded helplessly.

He had a bitter expression that said, "You're the boss, you're in charge."

On someone else's turf, with such a large gap in strength, it was already difficult enough to maintain his bottom line. He decided to stop arguing and only hoped that Gu Yun would keep his word.

If it's just deceiving yourself...

To be honest, Chen Yuan couldn't do anything about Gu Yun either. He was filled with regret for coming here and could only pin his hopes on the final Reincarnation Jade to create another miracle.

...

"Then tell me your purpose in joining the Shadow Organization."

"Remember..."

"You have to say it all."

Chen Yuan looked at Gu Yun's seemingly smiling, "kind" eyes, sighed softly, and spoke frankly.

"Actually, I originally planned to explain to you in the near future that joining the Shadow Organization does indeed provide me with an environment for improvement, as well as a certain degree of protection."

"But more importantly, I'd like to inquire with you soon about a girl named Bai Qing'er on Canglan Star. If possible, I'd like you to help me find her..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Chen Yuan felt the air pressure around him rising rapidly.

The temperature is dropping rapidly.

It felt like being stared at by a cheetah that hadn't eaten for dozens of days, making Chen Yuan feel like his bones were sweating.

Unlike the previous mere show of force, the terrifying pressure enveloping him now carried an unprecedented killing intent.

The last word stuck in his neck was slowly uttered after a long time.

"she..."
