Chapter 1689: Must Find a Place to Hide and Heal

Jiang Huaiyu was very frustrated.

This was the second time Mengyu had injured her with a divine sense attack.

The first time, she was under the orders of Nan Ming to secretly harm the Leng Family, but after a brief encounter with a young master, she was plunged into darkness by a sudden headache.

When she awoke, not only had the mission failed, but the person who had always disguised himself as her master had infiltrated her Sea of Consciousness and seized her body.

Upon realizing she was still conscious, the residual soul intended to devour her, forcing her into hiding.

Thankfully, the invader’s soul had failed a tribulation. Although he was a great power in the tribulation stage during his lifetime, his soul was injured by thunder, and since the Sea of Consciousness was her own, once she hid, he couldn’t find her, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

What pleased her even more was that because the soul attempting to possess her was a mere residual soul wounded in the tribulation, it couldn’t stabilize itself and constantly leaked soul energy, which ironically nourished her injured soul.

At the beginning, she pretended to be weak and played along with the residual soul, claiming she still had unresolved desires, thus keeping her consciousness intact, and persuaded him to take revenge on Mengyu on her behalf.

She swore that as long as he killed or destroyed Mengyu, she would fully integrate her consciousness with his soul. The residual soul believed her and went after Mengyu.

However, after several attempts, he couldn’t deal with Mengyu, allowing her to openly start absorbing the leaked soul energy.

Realizing this, the residual soul tried to devour Jiang Huaiyu, but discovered her soul was unexpectedly solid, rendering him unable to consume her.

Ultimately, Jiang Huaiyu’s soul grew increasingly powerful and counterattacked the former possessing residual soul, leaving only a small consciousness core that couldn’t be extinguished, which she had to suppress deep in her Sea of Consciousness.

Regaining control of her body, she took advantage of a powerful soul, which, unafraid of the rapid increase in power causing deviation, used the residual soul’s old memories to gather cultivation resources and quickly advanced to Core Formation.

This time, she dared to act personally because she felt capable after reaching Core Formation, combined with her powerful soul, making her fearless of Mengyu’s divine sense needle attack, confident she could personally deal with Nan Mengyu.

Although she couldn’t discern Mengyu’s cultivation level, she thought her action was a surefire success. For this operation, she decided to risk exposing her cultivation; after all, the worst that could happen would be Dragon Chief forcing her into the Immortal Sect.

However, never did she expect to be ambushed by Nan Mengyu before she even began to deal with her!

The divine sense cone was far superior to the previous divine sense needle. The formed solid directly pierced her soul, and if not for her soul being strong enough, she would have faced certain death like two years ago.

Despite her strong divine sense, she sustained grievous injuries and dared not linger; hence, she immediately summoned her flying sword and fled in haste.

Such a divine sense wound would take at least ten to eight years to heal; she had to find a place to hide and recuperate quickly!

The two security officers Jiang Huaiyu had led to the back door only saw their leader approaching it and then heard a yell, followed by a blinding light; as they quickly closed their eyes, by the time they reopened them, Xiao Zhang was already gone.

Feeling unsettled, they wanted to loop to the front door to report to Li Dadui but were also afraid the door might not be guarded properly and someone might escape. After a brief discussion, they decided that one would stay at the back door, while the other would go find Li Dadui.
