The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 162 Cooperation?

Ye Ling looked at him quietly, but her heart began to flutter.

"Based on the novel's setting, this guy is obviously a villain. But I'm probably going to die, because I feel like the villain on the other side is smart. He doesn't seem like the villains in the novel who talk a lot and tell you the reasons. He'll probably just attack! What should I do? Damn it!"

Then, a clear and emotionless sigh rang out. Although there was no sound around, Ye Ling felt a chilling sensation all around her, and goosebumps rose on her skin, instantly pulling her back to her thoughts!

Ye Ling stared intently at the other person, wanting to know what they were really planning.

All that could be seen was Xuan He slowly rising from the bone seat, then taking steps in mid-air. With each step, shinbones would fly to his feet, supporting him as he walked step by step towards Ye Ling!

Although Ye Ling looked at the other party calmly, she was already cursing in her heart. Don't be fooled by the seemingly ordinary scene. In reality, if she hadn't had the magical treasures on her body to resist the pressure emanating from the other party, she probably would have been kneeling in front of him long ago!

Although Ye Ling felt uncomfortable, she personally thought that showing off was still very important. After all, the protagonists in the books were all like that. Although those brainless authors often wrote some unrealistic moments of the protagonist showing off, she felt that there must be a reason for it. After all, she didn't have any other choice right now!

Ye Ling felt that she didn't have the awareness to be a lackey, nor did she have the silver tongue to talk her way out of trouble. She didn't think that if she went there now, she could cling to the other party's leg and be taken in as a follower so that she could escape this disaster!

Just thinking about that scene made Ye Lingguang freeze. She rushed over and hugged the other person's leg, spouting all sorts of flattering words like crazy...

Ugh! Just thinking about that scene made Ye Ling's eyes water. He felt that the other party was only being kind by not killing her!

Her thoughts were racing, but her eyes remained fixed on the figure that was gradually approaching her. She tried to appear calm, but as the other person got closer and closer, she was actually panicking inside!

"What should we do? Am I going to die? No, I can't die yet! I've finally survived, how can I die again? Ye Ling, think of something, there must be a way. Think of something quickly!"

With the other party only two steps away, she actually came up with a solution at this critical moment!

When Ye Ling was only one step away from the other person, she spoke up, "Senior Xuan, would you like to leave?"

One sentence was enough to stop Xuan He in his tracks. A hint of suspicion flashed in Xuan He's eyes, and then he looked at the little girl, his eyes showing interest!

"Oh, tell me! Why do you say that?"

Ye Ling forced herself to continue, "Senior said that he was once a powerful and influential figure, but after so many years, there has been no sign of him in the Azure Sky Realm. Yet, Senior is standing right in front of me. It is clear that something must have been holding you back!"

"Judging from the formation of Luoxia Village, it is clearly intended to seal something, and it is probably trying to trap you, senior! And I am your only chance to get out!"

Xuanhe's nonchalance gradually faded, replaced by seriousness. He coldly said, "Oh! You're so confident!"

Ye Ling said, "Senior Xuan, it's not that I'm so confident I can let you out right now, but rather that I can help you get out of here!"

"The formation here is clearly of a grand scale, and you were trapped inside for quite some time, so your opponent must have been no ordinary person!"

"And I am no ordinary person either. As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. My family has many talented people who can do things that others cannot!"

"Moreover, Senior has been here for so long, your strength must have been affected! If not significantly weaker than before, it must have stagnated. If that's the case, then your opponents have probably already surpassed you. If you go out now, you will not only have no understanding of the current Sky Realm, but also no understanding of your opponents. This is probably the last thing you want to see!"

"If you kill me now, my elders will find out immediately and come after me. Whether they can defeat you is another matter, but secrets don't stay hidden forever. Do you think those enemies who sealed you away won't know?"

“Senior, please keep me here. I can help you! Even if you can’t get out for a while, I can still help you with some things, right?”

Xuan He pondered for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Ye Ling with a cold expression and said in an icy voice, "Heh! You're quite the bold girl! You dare to negotiate with me? You think you're worthy?"

After speaking, Xuan He Zhou Shen's aura intensified, and Ye Ling felt an even more terrifying pressure; cracks had already appeared under her feet.

Ye Ling gritted her teeth. She was unwilling to give in. Even though she was weak, she was trying her best to survive. She was unwilling to stop here. She refused to accept it!

When the other person saw her appearance, although she looked a bit disheveled, they didn't make things difficult for her. Upon closer inspection, there was even a hint of appreciation in their eyes!

Ye Ling spoke with difficulty, "Senior Xuan! We each have our own desires. As long as we can get the result we want in the end, that's enough! Senior, please think it over carefully! Do you want to kill me to vent your anger, or cooperate with me to achieve your goal!"

Xuanhe knew exactly what choice he should make; his actions were merely a test of the girl's abilities!

Ye Ling was betting that Xuan He hadn't killed her from the beginning. Besides being interested, he must have been scheming for something else. She knew she still had value to her, and she wanted to take advantage of that while she still had value to gain the greatest benefit for herself and bring him into her camp!

This bold idea had actually taken root in her mind as soon as she entered Luoxia Village. She knew that this formation isolated the outside world, and the spiritual energy inside was extremely thin. If it was only to prevent the aura of treasures from leaking out, then the spiritual energy inside the formation should be quite abundant. Moreover, there was no need to seal it off, preventing outsiders from getting in and insiders from getting out. She was certain that something terrifying was being kept inside. She was betting that the other party would not kill her, and that she would even want the other party to help her achieve her goal!

Xuanhe, as if struck by a sudden thought, abruptly withdrew his spiritual pressure and chuckled, "A cunning little girl! Unfazed even by a collapsing mountain! Not bad, not bad, quite an interesting junior! Tell me!"

Ye Ling felt the pressure around him suddenly disappear and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he made the right bet!

"Senior, I will do everything in my power to help you get out, and I will even help you return to the top!"

As Hyun Hyuk listened to the other person's boastful words, he felt that the other person was somewhat similar to himself, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He turned and instantly returned to the bone seat, leaning back in a languid posture, and casually said, "Oh! Go on!"

Seeing the mocking look in the other party's eyes, Ye Ling felt like she was being watched as a clown, but faced with absolute strength, she could only endure it!

"Of course, I do all this for you with a request. There has always been a vacancy for a guardian in my family, and I hope you can take on the role!"

Seeing the other person's gaze slowly turn cold, Ye Ling immediately changed the subject, "Senior, please don't misunderstand! My family's guardians have always been chosen only by those with a destined connection, regardless of their strength. Once chosen, the family's resources will be tilted towards them! I'm just considering that if you want to return to the top, resources and power are indispensable. Moreover, if you become a guardian, my clan will also try their best to block your news and mobilize their forces to investigate your rivals, so as to make plans as soon as possible!"

Xuan He was naturally somewhat skeptical and asked, "Oh! Guardian? I've never heard of him before?"

"Senior has been here for quite some time, so you must not be familiar with the current state of the Azure Sky Realm. Some powerful families hire guardians to seek protection! My family also has this tradition, but we have made some improvements and choose a person with a special affinity to take on the role!"

Seeing that the other party was somewhat moved, Ye Ling wisely took out a crystal!

Xuanhe took it in his hand and examined it closely, but found nothing. He then played with it in his hand and said casually, "This thing looks like just an ordinary crystal. Even its appearance is ordinary. You wouldn't recognize it if you threw it into a pile of rocks!"

Ye Ling immediately began to deceive, saying, "Senior, you may not know this, but this is the guardian crystal of your family. This crystal may seem ordinary, but if you drip a drop of blood on it or input a trace of soul power into it, it can determine whether you are the destined person. If you are the destined person, it will shine brightly; if not, it will not react!"

"Senior can give it a try. If you are truly the guardian of my home, they will surely not stand in your way when it comes to what you want!"

"Oh! Really? This little thing can detect all this!" Xuan He still had doubts. He picked up the crystal and examined it over and over, scanning it with his divine sense again and again, but he couldn't find anything special!

Ye Ling wasn't in a hurry. She knew the other party would definitely fall into the trap. After all, overconfidence can sometimes be a death sentence! Especially against someone whose strength far surpasses hers, their strong self-confidence is often the reason for their inevitable defeat!

Ye Ling remained silent. Explaining too much would only reveal her thoughts. Instead, she kept quiet and left the choice to that person. He probably wouldn't disappoint her!

Although Xuanhe was cautious, just as Ye Ling thought, he believed that Ye Ling could be easily killed. If anything really happened, she could be reduced to ashes with just a thought, so he figured she wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Xuanhe was a ghost cultivator whose physical body had long since perished, so he had no blood to speak of; he could only inject a trace of soul power into him.

As soon as the soul power was injected into it, the crystal immediately shone brightly with white light, reflecting on Xuan He's astonished face and Ye Ling's excited face!

Within the crystal, Xuanhe's soul power condensed into the shape of a blooming spider lily. Then, the same mark appeared between Xuanhe's eyebrows, and finally, the same mark appeared in Ye Lingdao's right palm!

After the mark appeared, Xuanhe's soul was taken into a space and he received the inheritance belonging to the guardian!

Ye Ling waited quietly!
