Chapter 95: Ah, Blondie!

He looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who looked a little moved after hearing his words. She did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked around as if she was worried about something.

“Don’t worry, there’s only the two of us here!”

Ji Ye looked into her eyes and nodded.

He was sure of this because the Totem Wolf Skin in his arms could absorb soul power within a certain range.

He could also use this to sense that there were none of Granny Tree Demon’s spying eyes around.

As for the tree demon, it would not easily enter Lanruo Temple because it was afraid of Yan Chixia!

“Granny’s powers are very powerful!”

A glimmer of hope finally appeared in Nie Xiaoqian’s worried eyes.

“Don’t worry!”

“The monk from before is my companion. He grasps Buddhist vajra arhat divine powers and is best at subduing demons and wiping out evil. There’s also the Daoist priest opposite. Oh, he’s my... senior brother. Yes, eldest senior brother, it’s normal for him to be a little older!

“Therefore, don’t worry!”

In order to put Nie Xiaoqian at ease, he had to cook up a story for certain matters.

However, Ji Ye did not exaggerate his confidence in defeating Granny Tree Demon.

After completely digesting the soul power obtained from usurping the Soul race and the Centenarian Bloodsoul Vine Tree, the Soul Alpha Wolf he could summon with the Totem Wolf Skin reached Extraordinary Rank-4.

With the Ruby Crystal in hand, he could even reach Extraordinary Rank-5 if he strengthened the Soul Alpha Wolf with his blood at the critical moment.

This was also the reason why he was not worried about Granny Tree Demon and Old Demon Black Mountain after knowing Yan Chixia’s strength.

“If you can save me from my misery, I’m willing to be your slave for the rest of my life to repay you!”

Ji Ye released a wisp of the Soul Wolf Skin’s aura.

As a soul who was sensitive to such matters, Nie Xiaoqian naturally did not doubt his words. She immediately stood up and bowed at Ji Ye gratefully.

“Granny has ten servants under her. One of them has a cultivation level similar to mine. Her name is Xiaoqing...”

Then, she opened her cherry lips and told Ji Ye what she knew.

Ji Ye also learned about Nie Xiaoqian’s cultivation level.

This was because he could already sense the information of this ghostly female immortal.

[Nie Xiaoqian (Standpoint: Friendly)]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-2]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: A woman from an official’s family. Was killed by a criminal when she passed by Lanruo Temple and ended up controlled by a thousand-year-old tree demon. She is kind-hearted and is good at playing the zither!]

Extraordinary Rank-2, Elite evaluation. Clearly, her level had dropped since she was a projection.

She was “friendly”. This meant that she was likely “neutral” previously, which was consistent with Ji Ye’s guess.

In fact, Ji Ye had been staring at Nie Xiaoqian’s eyes the entire time, observing her expression.

According to the information provided by the purple-dressed female manager, some of the more popular characters in the various civilizations were projections of true figures—meaning their characters would not change. After all, if that were the case, it would not be enough for the goal of letting humans of other civilizations understand these heroes.

However, this was the Battlefield of Providence after all. One could not completely use the movie as a reference.

Once something happened, the Totem Wolf Skin would not only release a wisp of soul aura.

However, after seeing the information provided by Nie Xiaoqian, it was obviously the one in his memories, so there was naturally no need to worry!

Apart from that, he could also obtain some information from Nie Xiaoqian. action

Theoretically, since Nie Xiaoqian could change her stand, the thousand-year-old tree demon should be able to fight for his side!

However, this would probably be difficult.

According to Nie Xiaoqian, she had indeed been betrothed to Old Master Black Mountain by the thousand-year-old tree demon. This meant that there was indeed a relationship between the two.

Under such circumstances, there was no doubt that the other party had a higher chance of winning over the thousand-year-old tree demon to their side than them.

In particular, he had to consider his “eldest senior brother”, Yan Chixia’s attitude when working with the thousand-year-old tree demon.

Therefore, it was unlikely that they could work together.

In comparison, getting more information about the battlefield after killing the thousand-year-old tree demon was the most suitable choice.

Alright!

Perhaps it was not entirely impossible to win over the thousand-year-old tree demon.

The simplest solution was if the heroes who entered with him were called Zhuge Kongming or Liu Bowen... But unfortunately, it was Lu Zhishen.

To be honest, he was more willing to choose the simpler and more direct solutions than one that required brainstorming!

As for troubling matters, perhaps it was better to leave it to the other two?

Yes, the other two.

After Nie Xiaoqian changed sides, he received a new message.

[Information received: Number of participants in your faction: 4!]

...

Clang! Clang!

The next morning, Yan Chixia was awakened by the sound of weapons colliding. He had no choice but to open the door and walk out.

Outside, in a clearing of Lanruo Temple, the young man and the monk who had stayed overnight were holding a staff and sword in their hands as they constantly exchanged blows.

This was how the sleeping-disturbing sounds came about!

“Didn’t you say that you were only spending the night? Why aren’t you leaving when the sky is already bright?” Yan Chixia shouted at them unhappily.

“Oh, here me out, Master Yan.

“I suddenly had an epiphany regarding my sword technique this morning. Therefore, my companion sparred with me. I’m planning on perfecting my self-created Demon Slaying Sword Art.

“I guess I’m planning to stay here for a while.”

The sword-wielding young man smiled at him.

Then, he turned to look at the monk and said excitedly,

“Chief Lu, try my Transcendent Flying Immortal!”

Then, he slashed horizontally!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Another series of clashing sounds between the staff and sword ensued.

“How the hell is this considered Transcendent Flying Immortal!?

“From the name, I know that this move should be unleashed from a vantage point, struck down while you are one with the sword. When the sword strikes, it’s like a flash of lightning, or like an immortal traversing the sky. It should be a perfect fusion of strength and speed!

“This kid’s moves are completely based on brute force. His attacks don’t have any actual trajectory. When he pays attention to one thing, he neglects another.”

“How can he create his own sword technique with such standards. How dare he give a name like Transcendent Flying Immortal?”

Yan Chixia widened his eyes as he looked at the young man who was fighting the equally powerful monk with his astonishing brute strength while holding the sword with both hands.

Yan Chixia suddenly thought of something and muttered, “Wait a minute. Is this kid doing this on purpose? He’s calling it Transcendent Flying Immortal, but he’s using the move, Tiger’s Mountain Splitter!”

“However, no matter what, this sword technique is really terrible. It only focuses on strength, not speed or the variability of moves, much less speak of having a mood.”

In the end, he shook his head.

“Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you guys!”

Yan Chixia turned around and dragged out a gray wolf that was half a man’s height from his room.

It was the “food” he obtained from hunting in the forest last night.

“Blondie?”

However, just as he dragged the wolf out and was about to head to the lake to skin it and slice it up for meat, the young man who was “perfecting” his sword move opposite him suddenly widened his eyes.

Then, he rushed over anxiously.

“Ah, Blondie, it’s really you! Master Yan, where did you get this wolf?”

Then, as if confirming something, he looked at the huge wolf in his hand that didn’t seem to suit the name “Blondie” and asked him with a saddened look.

Yan Chixia felt that something was amiss, but he still answered truthfully, “It was obviously a wild wolf that I hunted last night. Don’t tell me that it’s your pet?”

“It’s indeed my pet!”

The young man was so sad that his face flushed red. He nodded sincerely.
