Chapter 627: Chapter 627

The formation in the room, battered by their attacks, was on the verge of collapse.

The Heavenly Dao Energy behind Wei Mengrou emanated a deep, dark light, illuminating her figure, making her appear holy yet mysterious, filled with a dangerous aura.

Even Yao Meng felt this was a difficult situation. She knew the Primordial Witch’s past was not simple, but she didn’t expect that even without a Heavenly Court seat, the Primordial Witch would be so hard to deal with.

An invisible hand seemed to strike out from the black mist, colliding with the World-Purifying Green Lotus.

Finally, the formation in the room completely shattered.

Almost at that instant, the female Bodhisattva, who had been meditating in a meditation room, abruptly opened her eyes.

Only then did she realize that a battle had just taken place in Mu Zhian’s room.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi looked at Mu Zhian without speaking, “This is Nalanda Temple.”

Yes… This was a landmark of the Western Regions, yet two great powers were actually fighting in the sky above Nalanda.

They were clearly still holding back, but if they really got into a heated fight… Thinking of this, Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s gaze quickly fell on the dark figure fighting against the Jade Empress, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

To be able to fight against the Jade Empress, and not on her home turf, meant that the other party should also be at the Transcendence Realm.

But there should only be three Transcendence Realm experts currently… Who was this person?

“Don’t worry, they probably won’t cause too much damage,” Mu Zhian comforted.

Yao Meng and the Evil Witch were clearly holding back, afraid of harming Mu Zhian below. Fresh chapters posted on novel[f]ire.net

As long as he was here, Nalanda wouldn’t be destroyed by the aftershocks.

“Benefactor Mu, this seems to be different from what we agreed on,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi clasped her hands together, quietly gazing at Mu Zhian, her eyes cold.

Her tone clearly held a hint of displeasure.

Mu Zhian said with a helpless expression, “I’m not the one who made them fight here… But if this continues, although Nalanda Temple won’t be destroyed, I’m afraid the mountain it’s on won’t be spared.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi discreetly glanced at Mu Zhian, her eyelids twitching slightly.

It seems the Bodhisattva isn’t completely desireless after all… Mu Zhian coughed lightly and continued, “However, it’s not a completely hopeless situation…”

“If Benefactor Mu has something to say, please speak frankly,” the female Bodhisattva said coldly.

Mu Zhian revealed a mysterious smile, leaned closer to her, and whispered something.

In the world, a lightning bolt as bright as day flashed by. Dark clouds gathered under the sky, a pale white sun as if falling from the sky, appearing directly behind the Evil Witch, as if becoming her possession, making her shrouded in black mist appear even more bizarre.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, the Evil Witch before the sun slowly raised her head, her long hair cascading down, her skin snow-white, her face within the black mist having an unreal quality.

Within the black mist, a mysterious substance seemed to be visible, its origin unknown, but this mysterious substance was affecting the entire space.

Yao Meng’s small and delicate jade feet stood on the void, her expression gentle, but the green lotus behind her bloomed with a captivating light, as if tearing space apart, revealing the galaxy within.

“I remember that in the Second Ark of the Lan Clan Ancestral Land, there was such a mysterious substance. It’s related to time, right?” she suddenly asked softly, gazing at the mysterious substance within the black mist.

“Although you’ve been sealed in the Pilgrimage Palace for thousands of years, you know quite a lot.”

The Evil Witch revealed a smile, “Did the young master tell you?”

Dark clouds swirled beneath her feet. She didn’t even need to use Spiritual Energy to float under the sky, her skirt swaying, outlining her exquisite and graceful figure.

Before Yao Meng could speak, the Evil Witch said faintly, “But even if the young master told you, it’s fine. After all, you’re just relying on your beauty and your despicable body to seduce him a few times, it’s nothing remarkable.”

“Ultimately, you’re just a little luckier, having used his Innate Celestial Furnace to be reborn.”

Her words were filled with disdain, and coupled with her lofty posture in the sky, as if she were the victor, looking down on Yao Meng.

Yao Meng didn’t mind and asked, “What exactly is this temporal matter?”

The Evil Witch clearly had no intention of answering and said with a smile, “I thought you knew everything. It seems your understanding of the Second Ark, and even of temporal matter, is limited to this.”

As she spoke, within the spreading black mist, the temporal matter constantly affected the entire space, giving off an oppressive aura at first glance.

She had thought this mockery would shake Yao Meng’s mentality, but unexpectedly, facing the Evil Witch’s merciless taunts, a faint smile appeared on the beautiful fairy’s face.

“You’re right. If it weren’t for your young master, I would probably have fallen by now, and the me of today wouldn’t exist.”

The Evil Witch revealed a sneer, about to speak.

Just then, Yao Meng’s tone changed, and she said with a faint smile, “Ultimately, it was your young master who told me about temporal matter when we were in bed before.”

The Evil Witch’s smile froze.

The Jade Empress’s words seemed like a concession, admitting she was inferior to the Evil Witch, but the underlying meaning was: I don’t know as much as you, but your young master will tell me everything, you loser.

Even in Mu Zhian’s fishpond, only the Jade Empress was qualified to say this. After all, she had dual cultivated with him the most… At least, so far.

“I hope you can still be so glib after being bound by the Immortal Devouring Chains.”

The Evil Witch quickly came back to her senses. The black mist behind her erupted, a violent surge of Spiritual Energy raging, almost instantly stripping the entire space of all its elements and Spiritual Energy.

Countless dark cracks appeared in the sky, a deep and bottomless mysterious substance overflowing from them.

“Is this temporal matter?”

Yao Meng looked up at the mysterious substance drifting in the black mist and couldn’t help but murmur to herself.

Temporal matter, which could affect the flow of time, was completely controlled by the Primordial Witch. No wonder she was so confident.

Both at Transcendence Realm, but the Primordial Witch’s combat power was indeed unfathomable.

However, just as the black mist overflowed from the sky, a cold voice suddenly came from the ground, “This is my holy land of the Western Regions. If you two have any grievances, please settle them after leaving Nalanda.”

The Evil Witch just glanced contemptuously at the cold female Bodhisattva, “A mere Bodhisattva from the Western Regions can threaten me?”

“It would be more appropriate if the Buddha came out.”

The female Bodhisattva’s beautiful feet stood on a lotus flower, her eyes flickering, “You’ve met the Buddha?”

“He once went to the No Man’s Land to save all beings, but left after discovering the Heavenly Dao’s will was slumbering there,” the Evil Witch said with a faint smile.

The No Man’s Land, the slumbering place of the Heavenly Dao’s will, also a former battlefield for cultivators. Countless souls were trapped there, unable to reincarnate. Even the Underworld of the Northern Frontier was unwilling to set foot there, afraid of being tainted by misfortune, and also afraid of awakening the slumbering Heavenly Dao’s will.

“It’s normal for a junior like you not to know such things.”

The Evil Witch’s gaze quickly fell on the female Bodhisattva, and she said with a smile, “You just told me to leave this broken temple… What if I don’t plan to leave, what can you do?”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi clasped her hands together and said calmly, “Then I can only apologize to Benefactor Mu.”

Behind Bodhisattva Miao Yi, Mu Zhian, bound by a chain strengthened by magical power, silently appeared beside her. He seemed to be unconscious, his face pale.

The Evil Witch’s gaze abruptly fell on the female Bodhisattva, “Threatening me with a hostage? If word of this gets out, the Western Regions will probably be laughed at by countless people.”

“Everything is for the sake of the Western Regions. You two are wreaking havoc on the peak of Nalanda, have you ever considered the Western Regions?”

The female Bodhisattva reached out and gently caressed Mu Zhian’s face, saying softly, “I wonder if you two can consider my earlier suggestion and leave Nalanda Temple?”

Yao Meng glanced at the unconscious Mu Zhian a few times, then her gaze swept over the female Bodhisattva’s indifferent expression with a meaningful look, and she chuckled softly, “I have no objections. After you release him, I won’t attack in Nalanda.”

Seeing the Jade Empress agree so readily, the Evil Witch could only nod gently, “I have no objections either, but I have a condition.”

Her gaze fixed on Mu Zhian, “Hand him over to me.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi nodded slightly, “Alright.”

She clasped her hands together and recited a Buddhist sutra.

A golden light rippled outwards, and the chains binding Mu Zhian were released. His body floated in mid-air, slowly drifting towards Wei Mengrou.

Yao Meng didn’t make any move, just crossed her arms, propping up her ample bosom, and watched this scene silently.

Finally, Mu Zhian floated before the Evil Witch and stopped.

The young man was sleeping peacefully, the cold wind slightly messing up his hair. His handsome face held a hint of frailty, his lips pale, his features delicate. His white robe, embroidered with gold and silver threads, fluttered in the cold wind, exuding the elegant aura of a noble young master.

The Evil Witch’s gaze was fixed on him. At this moment, her personality had partially merged with Wei Mengrou’s, and past memories continuously flooded her mind, making her look at Mu Zhian with a dazed expression.

The Heavenly Dao’s descent was imminent. Leaving the Nine Provinces was the best choice. Although the young master might not understand now, he would in the future.

And only with the ‘evil’ side still present could she see this through.

When the main personality returned, with her indecisive nature, she would probably be completely swayed by the young master’s sweet talk and wouldn’t even think about taking him away from the Nine Provinces.

The black mist behind her silently enveloped Mu Zhian. Within the black mist, a black thread was about to wrap around his wrist.

But just then, Mu Zhian abruptly opened his eyes and reached for Wei Mengrou.

‘Wei Mengrou’ reacted quickly and subconsciously took half a step back, but a green vine had silently wrapped around her ankle at some point.

At the same time, Bodhisattva Miao Yi recited a Buddhist chant. A massive Dharma Idol of a traveler instantly appeared behind her, completely enveloping her, the chant echoing through the sky.

The Dharma Idol, like a giant holding up the sky, raised its massive palm as the Buddhist chant sounded, a golden Buddhist seal shooting towards the Evil Witch.

However, as the Buddhist seal approached the black mist, a sound like something being evaporated by flames came.

The people outside Nalanda Temple who sensed this commotion were all shocked. Even Dao Integration Realm experts were unwilling to fight against the Bodhisattva in the Western Regions. Who had such courage to force Bodhisattva Miao Yi to act?

“Who has awakened? It’s rare to see the Bodhisattva forced to act…”

“It must be some great power who has been in seclusion. But causing trouble in the Western Regions is still too irrational.”

Even now, the people outside Nalanda still didn’t know what was happening inside the temple.

“You actually tricked me together?”

The Evil Witch was finally enraged. A more terrifyingly mysterious black mist emanated from her body, and all the Spiritual Energy around her seemed to be instantly stripped away.

The World-Purifying Vines at her feet also withered.

But within that black mist, one person still remained standing in mid-air.

A closer look revealed that the black mist hadn’t touched him at all, but passed right through his body.

The Evil Witch’s eyes held a hint of annoyance, “Young Master, do you really think I wouldn’t dare do anything to you?”

Mu Zhian smiled, “Anyone in this world might harm me, but Sister Mengrou is an exception, isn’t she?”

‘Wei Mengrou’ looked at him with a sneer, “That’s because you’re just a little good-for-nothing who has just reached Soul Transformation. If you touched my black mist, you would probably melt in an instant.”

“Even I would be hurt if my strength was looked down upon ,” Mu Zhian shrugged.

Then, he looked at the Evil Witch and said with a smile, “Speaking of which, after the third witch spiritual sense returned, does Sister Mengrou now possess all the memories of the Primordial Witch? Because you remembered some forgotten memories from the past, that’s why you want to take me away from the Nine Provinces?”

‘Wei Mengrou’ said coldly, “Since the young master knows, then don’t struggle. If you stay in the Nine Provinces, you’ll be purged by the Heavenly Dao sooner or later.”

Mu Zhian smiled, “Even so, I have to stay here.”

“Just because of one Shang Yanfei?” For a moment, a complex look appeared in ‘Wei Mengrou’s’ eyes.

“Not just because of the Sect Master, but also because of you.”

Mu Zhian looked at her and said gently, “I’m not referring to Sister Mengrou, but this personality of yours.”

The Evil Witch was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly dazed.

And just then, Mu Zhian seized the opportunity, stepped forward through the spreading black mist, embraced her, lowered his head slightly, and captured her tender and soft lips.

The Evil Witch’s eyes widened abruptly, as if surprised why Mu Zhian would do such a thing in this situation.

The black mist completely enveloped the two of them. Immense Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy continuously poured into Wei Mengrou’s body. The endless stream of Spiritual Energy seemed to assault her mind, and coupled with the young man’s unique warmth, it made one subconsciously want to lose themselves in it.

But then, the Evil Witch quickly reacted, her eyes widening abruptly.

No… he’s trying to awaken the main personality!

She wanted to reprimand Mu Zhian for his shameless sneak attack, but just then, Mu Zhian held her waist tightly and infused his Spiritual Energy into her body even more fiercely, his right hand slipping through her dress, holding her slender waist.

The Evil Witch realized something was wrong and quietly raised her hand, but before the black light at her fingertip could condense, her delicate body trembled under another surge of Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, as if her soul was about to ascend to heaven.

The allure of a Transcendence Realm Innate Celestial Furnace to a woman was indescribable.

Even the devout Bodhisattva Miao Yi had been shaken earlier, let alone the Evil Witch, who had seven emotions and six desires, and was so weak after just awakening.

“W-wait…” she subconsciously transmitted her voice, begging Mu Zhian, her voice trembling slightly.

However, Mu Zhian ignored her. He was afraid that if he let go of Wei Mengrou now, all his efforts would be in vain. He just kept sending his sincere ‘love’ to the maid before him.

“Don’t do this…” the trembling voice came again from beside his ear.

Compared to her arrogant demeanor when fighting against the Jade Empress earlier, Wei Mengrou’s face was now flushed a deep red, and she was constantly suppressing the rising urge within her.

She subconsciously clamped her thighs together, but her body couldn’t help but soften in Mu Zhian’s embrace.

Although she desperately wanted to ask Mu Zhian to let her go, another voice in her heart didn’t want to leave his embrace.

Gradually, under the repeated surges of Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy, ‘Wei Mengrou’s’ delicate body finally trembled uncontrollably. Her legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground, fortunately caught by Mu Zhian.

Wei Mengrou slowly raised her head. Her originally steel-like silver eyes gradually regained their original light.

Finally back… Mu Zhian looked at the shy blush on Wei Mengrou’s face, her body tense. After confirming her aura, he finally released her rosy lips, inwardly breathing a sigh of relief.

Mmm, compared to the ‘evil’ side, the original Sister Mengrou is much cuter.

Mu Zhian used his finger to wipe her red lips, about to let go.

However, just then, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist, and she buried her face in his chest.

“Sister Mengrou, it’s alright now…”

Before Mu Zhian could finish speaking, he saw Wei Mengrou look up with a humiliated expression, glaring at him angrily.

“W-what’s wrong?” Mu Zhian thought she was angry about the ‘sneak attack’ earlier and explained, “Your evil side caused a lot of trouble just now, I had no choice.”

“I’m not blaming you…”

She placed a hand on her skirt, her hazy eyes filled with mist, her fair legs subconsciously rubbing against each other.

“You… you help me back to the room first, I need to take a bath.”
