Chapter 504 - 254: The Fall of the Genius, Farewell Before Departure (Double - )_2

She also had no reason to deceive herself.

Liou Yuan sighed with deep regret upon hearing this, "What a pity."

But upon reflection, he realized that Lv Zexuan had no connection with him—they hadn’t even communicated before.

So what did Lv Zexuan’s death have to do with him? Was it necessary for Yan Yingsi to come all the way just to inform him?

As Liou Yuan pondered the true purpose of Yan Yingsi seeking him out,

Suddenly, Liou Yuan’s eyes widened as he saw a red glow start to emanate from Yan Yingsi’s body before him.

The red glow flowed out like streams of blood from Yan Yingsi’s body.

During this process, Yan Yingsi’s body gradually began to fade.

The red robes lost their physical form.

"You!" This bizarre scene made Liou Yuan’s heart tighten, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Obviously, Yan Yingsi’s state was very abnormal. Liou Yuan immediately activated his Evil Eyes to the fullest and looked into Yan Yingsi’s body.

He discovered that the source of the red glow flowing out was her Qi Mansion.

That Fourth-Grade Qi Mansion was now like a bucket with a big hole, constantly overflowing.

The outcome when the Qi Mansion runs dry could be easily imagined for Yan Yingsi.

"Why is this happening!"

Liou Yuan couldn’t figure out what was happening to Yan Yingsi and could only continue to observe her with the Evil Eyes, growing more uneasy with each look.

The Yan Yingsi before him had never been corporeal from the start, somewhat like the phenomenon of a Primordial Spirit leaving the body.

However, only the Primordial Spirits of Golden Core cultivators could leave the body; the soul of anyone below Foundation Establishment would disperse at the slightest breeze if separated from the physical body.

"I’ll notify the Sect Leader!"

Liou Yuan’s voice echoed within the Little Five Elements Array. Realizing that something was seriously wrong with Yan Yingsi, he was about to soar into the sky.

But Yan Yingsi stopped him with an indifferent smile on her increasingly transparent face.

"It’s useless. My physical body is destroyed, and my end will be the same as Sister Lv Zexuan’s, leaving only this soul that is about to dissipate."

"How could you possibly fail!"

Liou Yuan indeed didn’t have a good impression of Yan Yingsi, but that was merely due to their clashing personalities. Truth be told, they had once been companions in life-and-death struggles.

Watching Yan Yingsi’s soul dissipate bit by bit before him, his emotions were complicated, and he found it hard to accept for a moment.

Even Wei Miaomeng succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and in terms of talent, Yan Yingsi seemed superior to Wei Miaomeng. How could she fail?

"How few prodigies have died at the Foundation Establishment stage? What’s so strange about it."

Yan Yingsi had a transcendent indifference toward her own life and death, looking completely unconcerned. She gazed at the Little Five Elements Array outside Liou Yuan’s Zilian Cave, and said leisurely, "It’s strange, after my body shattered, of the many places I’ve been, only you noticed me."

As she spoke, Yan Yingsi’s final gaze fixed upon Liou Yuan’s eyes.

At this moment, his Evil Eyes, fully activated, were radiating a brilliant purplish-gold light.

"Perhaps it has something to do with your spiritual eyes."

Yan Yingsi, seasoned and sharp, quickly identified the reason Liou Yuan could see her, and it aligned with Liou Yuan’s own thoughts.

"That’s fine."

"Compared to Sister Lv Zexuan, who immediately dispersed into nothingness, at least I have someone to talk to before my end."

With a serene smile, Yan Yingsi’s nearly collapsing illusory form could no longer hold.

Boom! With a flicker of blood-red light, she exploded into a shower of blood-colored rain within Liou Yuan’s Five Elements Array.

Several droplets of blood-light splashed onto Liou Yuan’s body,

Liou Yuan instinctively reached out to catch a droplet, only to find it had no substance and passed effortlessly through his palm.

"Sigh!"

Liou Yuan had no choice but to put down his hand and sigh at the position where Yan Yingsi’s soul dissipated.

"This crazy woman fought recklessly, had a stubborn personality, yet she didn’t die in battle, but on the path to Foundation Establishment."

In the Wenda Tower,

Sect Leader Xuanyi’s brush flowed across the paper, sketching the scene of the beautiful rain of light before the Zilian Cave, with the youth’s regretful face within the light and rain.

As the final stroke fell, Xuanyi’s clear voice resonated throughout the Wenda Tower.

"Inform Jingyan to go to the Outer Sect and gather the remains of her granddaughter."

Alongside, a second command followed shortly.

"Outer Sect disciple Yan Yingsi, wild and unrestrained. Previously in the Wind Chasing Division, she accomplished many feats, leading the team to thwart the plot to infiltrate the demonic lair in the Linlang Domain. Based on her merits, she shall be enshrined in the Inheritance Ancestral Hall and awarded a heroic spirit position in the Disciplinary Hall."

Before the Zilian Cave,

Liou Yuan stood woodenly in place, struggling for a long time to break free from the complex emotions over Yan Yingsi’s death, eventually shaking his head and turning back to return to the Zilian Cave.

"The way of the heavens is ruthless; mortals seeking immortality must endure heavenly tribulations and difficulties."

"The deceased Yan Yingsi and Lv Zexuan, someday it might be my turn."

Having just achieved Foundation Establishment, Liou Yuan grew even more reverent toward the cultivation path of this world.

Immersed in the complex emotions of Yan Yingsi’s passing, he completely neglected the fact that,

When Yan Yingsi’s soul dissipated, many droplets of light that covered his body came into contact with his Evil Eyes.

They did not pass through but instead entered into the Evil Eyes.

Adding a faint touch of red to his purplish-gold pupils, which was hard to detect.

This red hue was so faint compared to the radiant purplish-gold of the Evil Eyes that even Liou Yuan, their owner, didn’t notice it.

The next day, the news that Yan Yingsi failed her Foundation Establishment and passed away in the Outer Sect’s cave abode spread throughout the Outer Sect.
