Chapter 2252: Exclusive Possession

Lan Jing was very concerned about Ye Fan’s affairs, but many things were completely out of her control, leaving her feeling very uneasy inside.

However, she also knew that she was not a match for Xi He at all. Facing Xi He, Lan Jing did not say much but was more concerned about Ye Fan’s whereabouts now.

Lan Jing said, “Can you take me to find Ye Fan?”

“Miss Lan Jing, are you compromising with me now? I could take you to find the master, but you should know that the master’s whereabouts are uncertain now. The chances of us finding him are very slim, so why waste the effort?” Xi He shook his head and said.

Lan Jing was already under Xi He’s control at this point, and she could only do her best to find a way to break free. She said, “I don’t care what method you use, you must find Ye Fan. I promise not to interfere with whatever you are doing.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Lan Jing, I’m powerless to find the master. Everything about the master is confidential now. Even if I knew how to find the master, I couldn’t tell you. Many things involve loyalty to the master. How about this, Miss Lan Jing, if you want to find someone, I can provide some help, but as for the rest… you just wait here in peace.” Xi He had a profound expression on his face, as if to say, you’d better stay here obediently and not struggle, and there’s no need for you to worry about the rest.

Lan Jing wanted to escape desperately, but she found herself completely controlled by Xi He. She was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.

“Do you want Nu Ying and Liaozu to absorb that force and then deal with Ye Fan?” Lan Jing said through gritted teeth.

Xi He shook his head and said, “I told you, I won’t do anything against the master. That’s my promise… some things aren’t things I can just do. You should know how terrifying the master’s cultivation is. Why would I want to oppose the master? Miss Lan Jing, if you intervene with me, then I’ll have to use some extraordinary methods!”

With that said, Xi He directly attacked Lan Jing with a force, and subsequently, Lan Jing fainted, losing consciousness.

…

…

Nu Ying and Liaozu absorbed the crystalline power brought by Xi He on Heavenly Peak Mountain.

They found this power to be very strong, and the power contained a very easily absorbable Spiritual Energy that they could easily convert for their own use.

As to why Xi He brought this power and what was hidden behind it, neither of them cared anymore.

It was unknown how much time had passed when Liaozu felt a bit tired. When she opened her eyes, it was night on Heavenly Peak Mountain. She looked at the starry sky and felt the full Spiritual Energy inside her. She had a thought of killing Nu Ying opposite her to solely possess this power.

“You’d better not act rashly.” Nu Ying also sensed Liaozu’s threat to her. She opened her eyes and said, “We’re not interfering with each other now. While obtaining this power, can’t we also challenge the order of ancient cultivators? Speaking of order guardians, we can actually create our own order… You cooperate with me, and we’ll first get rid of Xi He and Xuan Nu!”

Liaozu shook her head and said, “You want to kill Xi He? You’re delusional. This power is something she found, and if she doesn’t absorb it herself, it’s because this power is already beneath her notice. If we are so insensitive to fight against her, what’s the benefit for us?”

“Impossible, she at most has Nuwa’s cultivation, and I feel my cultivation has increased many times over. If you cooperate with me, we can still easily deal with Xi He!” Nu Ying insisted stubbornly.

Liaozu did not want to listen to Nu Ying at all. She said, “Do as you wish, sometimes she’s using us in what she does. If you still think you can kill her, then you are seeking death yourself. That’s all I can say. If you want to continue absorbing, that’s your business. I’m leaving now…”

Nu Ying was surprised and said, “You’re leaving? You’re giving up on this power? It’s quite strange, you’ve absorbed so little of this power. Do you feel that your body cannot handle such a powerful force, or do you have other plans?”

The two looked at each other, cautiously guarding against each other.

After a long time, Liaozu said disdainfully, “Now that I’ve gained some desired power, the next thing is to find my daughter. As for Pan Gu’s power, it has never been what I pursued. This opportunity is yours! But you must make a promise; after you gain this power, you must not act against me and must even help me find my daughter…”

Nu Ying was very tempted after hearing that. To monopolize great power was a dream come true, yet she feared Liaozu’s betrayal.

“Since you put it that way, I’ll agree with you, but let me clarify, we are not adversaries for now. You’re not interfering with me, just like how water from one well doesn’t intrude on that of another. If you find your daughter and gain some benefits from her, you should still share when it’s time and not keep it all to yourself!” Nu Ying said.

“Deal!”

After Liaozu finished speaking, she left Heavenly Peak Mountain, even departing from the Pan Gu Secret Realm.

As for where Liaozu went, Nu Ying was not too concerned. What made her happiest was that this strong power in front of her was now for herself alone.

Just as she was preparing to continue cultivating and absorbing, suddenly a force attacked her. Nu Ying, whose cultivation had improved, felt that the attacking power was on a path to self-destruction, and she immediately used that power to counterattack.

“Boom!” The collision of two forces resulted in an explosion, making a loud noise on Heavenly Peak Mountain.

When Nu Ying stabilized herself, she discovered that the person standing across from her was Xi He.

“Xi He, what do you mean, are you trying to go back on your word and kill me now?” Nu Ying said angrily.

“I gave you power, with no intention of regret. I merely came to test your cultivation; why are you so tense?” Xi He smiled and walked up Heavenly Peak Mountain. After she stood still, Nu Ying could still feel the powerful pressure.

Xi He said, “Not bad, your cultivation has significantly improved. How is it? Didn’t I tell you the truth about this power?”

“Not us, just me. Liaozu left. She’s going back to find her daughter.” Nu Ying thought Xi He came at a bad time. She feared Xi He would fight with her, but she also felt she wasn’t a match for Xi He.

She was also angry about Liaozu’s departure. In her view, as long as she joined forces with Liaozu, they would definitely defeat Xi He.

Xi He sighed and said, “I intended to give you something to do to make you forget some conspiracy, but who would’ve thought Liaozu was still so stubborn. Let’s not worry about her for now.”
