Chapter 2976 - 2977: Turning Swords into Silk

Chapter 2976: Chapter 2977: Turning Swords into Silk

It turns out Xue An had long noticed that the Giant Spider had devoured the bloodline of the Yi Guyun clan.

This was nothing surprising, and even the Giant Spider didn’t take it seriously.

In its words, it was merely a declining small clan, devoured and gone, nothing significant.

But the problem lay with the Yi Family.

Earlier, Xue An and Nezha had mentioned in the secret realm of the Senluo Valley that Yi Guyun carried the bloodline of the legendary archer Yi from the ancient Hua Clan mythology, who shot down the nine suns.

Though the bloodline had thinned over the years, it was still from a once paramount deity!

The transmitted bloodline was naturally extraordinary.

This gave Yi Guyun exceptional talent in archery, coveted by the Senluo Valley.

As for Yi Guyun’s clansmen, although their bloodline wasn’t as strong as Yi Guyun’s, meaning it hadn’t awakened, it still existed.

Thus, after being devoured by the Giant Spider, the souls of Yi Family were not annihilated and continued to persist within the Giant Spider.

The Giant Spider didn’t care much, having already swallowed them, could they possibly stir up any trouble?

Under normal circumstances, the Giant Spider wasn’t wrong in thinking this way.

After all, being one of the top sinister entities in this world, a few indestructible souls were nothing more than ants to it.

The people of the Feixian Temple it nurtured and finally devoured didn’t have their final souls entirely eradicated, either.

But it miscalculated one point, and that was the indomitable spirit of the Hua Clan.

Though devoured and worn down, the remaining souls never yielded, instead, they lay dormant, waiting for an opportunity.

Xue An noticed this and borrowed the Cloud Bow from Yi Guyun to shoot those three arrows.

Of course, these three arrows couldn’t harm the Giant Spider but could awaken the dormant souls within it.

Then Xue An deliberately allowed himself to be devoured by the Giant Spider, successfully breaking its invincible Golden Body with the help of the Yi clansmen’s souls.

After hearing Xue An’s account, tears welled up in Yi Guyun’s eyes as she bowed her head in silence.

Xue An sighed at the sight, "Miss Yi, don’t be sad..."

Before Xue An could finish, Yi Guyun suddenly raised her head. Though her cheeks were stained with tears, her eyes were extraordinarily firm.

"Sir, I’m not sad, on the contrary, I’m very happy!"

"Though my clansmen have perished, they exacted the deserved price from the murderer before completely vanishing, and that’s enough. Now, the only thing I can do is to live well!"

Looking at this exceptionally resilient girl, even Xue An couldn’t help being moved and finally nodded solemnly.

"It’s great that you think this way!"

"But there is something I wish to ask of you, sir!" Yi Guyun suddenly said.

"Speak, whatever I can do, I won’t refuse!" Xue An said gravely.

In some sense, the reason this Giant Spider was vanquished so effortlessly was largely due to the assistance of the Yi clansmen.

Without their help, though Xue An could still eliminate the Giant Spider, it would have required a tremendous price.

Though those Yi clansmen had perished, leaving just a sliver of their souls, even without aiding Xue An, they couldn’t have been resurrected.

Regardless, now they had vanished together with the Giant Spider.

So Xue An felt a slight guilt in his heart, and hearing Yi Guyun’s words, he agreed without question.

"It’s simple, I want to follow beside you, sir, and join you in fighting these encroaching evil beings!" Yi Guyun’s tone was very determined.

Xue An was quite surprised, as he never expected Yi Guyun to make such a request, and hesitated a little.

"Miss Yi, this idea of yours isn’t wrong, but.....

"But what? Didn’t you just say I can make any request?" Yi Guyun immediately asked.

Xue An sighed helplessly, "But dealing with these encroaching sinister beings is easier said than done; even I can’t guarantee everyone can come out unscathed, and Miss Yi, you...."

Xue An hesitated for a moment, finally sighing, "Your clansmen have all perished. Now, you are the only one left of the Yi Family. What if something happens to you?"

That was Xue An’s real concern.

Yet, unexpectedly, Yi Guyun smiled openly after hearing him, "You’ve overthought it, sir. I believe that if my father and the other clansmen had spirits in heaven, they’d agree with my proposal!"

"After all... there are no cowards in the Yi Family!"

Looking at Yi Guyun’s face full of determination, Xue An was a bit dumbfounded, but he quickly realized and sighed quietly.

How could he forget that Yi Guyun carried the bloodline of the ancient deity Yi!

That innate pride can never be changed!

At this time, Nezha, who had been silent on the side, also spoke.

"Xue An, you’d better agree to her request, or she won’t let it go!"

Xue An nodded, "Alright then, I will agree with you!"

Yi Guyun’s face finally broke into a smile, then she nodded firmly, "Hm! I promise not to let you down, sir!"

Xue An smiled and hadn’t responded yet when a hearty laugh came from beside him.

"Since even an orphan girl has such courage, how can our Firearms Society stand idly by? Consider this matter our Firearms Society’s as well!"

Everyone turned their heads sharply, only to see Yang Fu strolling over slowly, with Yang Mufeng standing beside him, followed by Wei Qingfeng, Meng Yi, and others.

Although Xue An didn’t know Yang Fu, he recognized Yang Mufeng, who had previously challenged him, and knew she held a special position within the Firearms Society as the president’s sister.

Combining what Yang Fu had said, he couldn’t help but realize his identity.

"President Yang?" Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow.

"Haha, just call me Yang Fu!"

Those like Wu Nianyin standing behind Xue An couldn’t help but feel a stir, their faces showing signs of shock.

Yang Fu!

The founder of the Firearms Society!

The most legendary figure on Great Sun Island in recent years.

Before, people from the Firearms Society even conducted assassinations against Wu Nianyin, and Yang Mufeng followed suit with challenges, indeed appearing as foes rather than friends!

Who would have thought someone like that would directly express support for Xue An?

It wasn’t just the people from the Wu Family, even those from the Firearms Society were a bit astonished.

Yang Mufeng couldn’t understand and couldn’t help but call out, "Brother..."

But before she could finish, Yang Fu waved his hand, "Say no more, such trivial grudges can’t be compared with this matter!"

Saying this, Yang Fu raised his head to look at Xue An, his gaze full of undisguised admiration.

"Do you agree with me?"
