Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214

Xin Badao nodded, he had no other choice.

"After reuniting with Wei’er, you should stay back to recuperate. Once you’ve healed, support relevant affairs from the shadows. Their target is me, so they likely won’t take action against you and old Chu."

While driving, Tang Ming analyzed, "Fortunately, I had you and old Chu fake your deaths earlier. Now, as long as you both remain hidden, no one will know that you are Chu Batian and Xin Badao, making it much safer."

"Poison Master is foresighted, I am impressed,"

Xin Badao looked at Tang Ming with admiration.

Hearing this, Tang Ming’s lips twitched.

What foresight, he hadn’t anticipated such a powerful enemy coming after him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire situation.

Under a pagoda tree behind the Binjiang Villa complex, a mysterious figure in a black cloak sat cross-legged, motionless. No one knew how long had passed before the mysterious person suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

This person was Ye Liuxing, Mo Liuye’s senior brother. Previously, he disguised himself as an old flower seller to approach Li Xiaoli and used the Soul-stealing Technique on her.

The Soul-stealing Technique is somewhat similar to a soul out-of-body experience, a method to seize control of another’s body. This is precisely why Li Xiaoli could exhibit such frightening combat power.

Originally, everything was proceeding according to plan. After controlling Li Xiaoli’s body, finding the right moment to strike, he crippled Tang Ming’s cultivation in one swoop. However, just as he was about to disable Tang Ming’s limbs further, there was an upheaval within Li Xiaoli’s body.

"Damn it, the girl’s body actually holds a sealed soul. Judging by its energy, the soul is incredibly powerful. Just one glance and it injured my spirit. It’s terrifying."

Ye Liuxing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, unable to comprehend how Li Xiaoli, an ordinary girl, could have such a seal within her.

Although this was puzzling, Ye Liuxing didn’t give it much thought. Firstly, the soul was in a sealed state. If he hadn’t endangered Li Xiaoli by trying to possess her completely, it wouldn’t have awakened to attack.

Secondly, Tang Ming’s cultivation was already crippled, so there was no need to worry about him using Poisonous Insect Poison to endanger Mo Liuye’s life. He could now deal with Tang Ming in his true form.

However, before dealing with Tang Ming, he needed to adjust his energy. A soul injury was no joking matter. Without recovery, leaving a trauma could affect his future cultivation.

Although recovery required time, he wasn’t worried about Tang Ming and the others escaping. He had already tampered with Li Xiaoli, enabling him to track her based on a special fragrance, no matter how far she fled in the short term.

Before adjusting his energy, Ye Liuxing called Mo Liuye to inform him of the results and to meet up, then together they would seek out Tang Ming to settle the score.

In Xia Wei’er’s residential area, Chu Batian was sprawled motionless in the greenery, frothing at the mouth and staring blankly.

He had just heard his phone ringing, but his body refused to cooperate, making it impossible to answer.

Initially, he was as usual, staying around Xia Wei’er’s home, secretly protecting her safety. However, not long ago, a mysterious figure appeared, and in just one brief encounter, he was rendered in his current state.

To be precise, there wasn’t even an encounter; he still doesn’t know if the person is male or female.

With his cultivation, he couldn’t see how the opponent made their move!

Here’s what happened: earlier when he saw someone appearing below Xia Wei’er’s building, he intended to intervene.

As soon as he spoke, a gust swept from the intruder’s body, sending him crashing into the greenery like a bomb blast, paralyzing his body, leaving him immobilized.

The intruder possessed such horrifying strength that it exceeded Chu Batian’s comprehension; if this person wanted to kill, ten of him wouldn’t be enough.

Inside Xia Wei’er’s room, after hanging up Tang Ming’s call, Xia Wei’er quickly looked toward a beautiful woman sitting by the bed.

This lady, with her hair styled, adorned with a jade hairpin, wore a purple traditional long gown, resembling a graceful noblewoman from a period drama, incongruous with the modern city yet brimming with allure.

"You spoke of your prowess earlier, can you save my boyfriend? He is being hunted now. I promise anything if you can save him,"

Xia Wei’er pleaded fervently to the lady.

"Will you promise anything, including becoming my disciple?"

The woman’s face remained calm while she inwardly sighed.

The woman had said much before, yet hadn’t swayed this girl. But now, a single call from her boyfriend made her yield. Such deep affection is hard to say whether it’s good or bad.

The woman’s name was Zi Yuan, an Elder of the Hidden Sect’s Rainbow Cloud Peak. Her cultivation had reached the Peak of Nine-star, just a step away from Martial General; to be precise, she was considered a Half-step Martial General.

Martial Sect’s Yang Bupo and Yin Yongjian returned to their sect immediately to contact Rainbow Cloud Peak, revealing Xia Wei’er’s situation and expressing that with Martial Sect’s strength they couldn’t persuade Xia Wei’er.

Upon receiving the news, Rainbow Cloud Peak took the matter of the Bright Moon Body seriously and sent a Half-step Martial General, Zi Yuan, who could traverse the Urban System without hindrance, to personally visit Xia Wei’er in Songlan City.

Upon arriving at Xia Wei’er’s building, Zi Yuan discovered someone secretly protecting Xia Wei’er, intending to attack her. And then...then Chu Batian’s tragic fate unfolded.

Though Chu Batian was a high-level martial master, he stood no chance against Zi Yuan, a Half-step Martial General, lacking even the opportunity for confrontation, leaving him paralyzed.

This was because Zi Yuan hadn’t killed out of consideration for Xia Wei’er, otherwise Chu Batian would now be a corpse.

Upon meeting Xia Wei’er, Zi Yuan directly revealed her identity, detailing her strength and Rainbow Cloud Peak’s situation, her sole aim to have Xia Wei’er willingly come with her for cultivation in the sect.

Confronted with such a monumental opportunity, Xia Wei’er remained hesitant, all because she didn’t want to leave her beloved.

Zi Yuan spent half an hour logically and emotionally persuading but couldn’t move Xia Wei’er. Then, Tang Ming’s call came, and Xia Wei’er’s attitude changed instantly.

"Yes, if you save my boyfriend, I am willing to be your disciple."

Xia Wei’er immediately got off the bed and knelt in front of Zi Yuan, lowering her head in disciple respects.

Xia Wei’er keenly knew Tang Ming’s strength and temperament. Though few words were exchanged just now, she could discern the seriousness of the situation from Tang Ming’s tone. Tang Ming would never mention fleeing unless it was an emergency.
