The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 161 First Encounter with Old Ghost Xuanhe

Ye Ling snapped out of her reverie, feeling that something was amiss. However, a quick glance shifted, and a slight smile played on her lips. She thought to herself, "Isn't there a ready-made solution? I'll just ask."

Ye Ling turned around, looked at the little girl beside her, and asked, "Who is this Cui Lang? And who is his Daoist partner?"

The little girl stiffened slightly upon hearing this, then stared at Ye Ling with a strange smile on her face!

Suddenly, a strange voice rang out from behind the little girl, "Who is it? Who has broken my seal!" The voice was filled with rage!

Ye Ling felt a powerful pressure and was forced to take a few steps back. She knew that this voice was very likely the one the little girl had mentioned!

The moon was being enveloped in darkness at a rapid pace, and the whole world seemed to be in gloom. A strong gust of wind blew by, and Ye Ling raised her hand to shield her eyes!

Then a storm surrounded her, but within moments the storm vanished without a trace, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and moonlight poured down. Yet, the spot where Ye Ling had been was now empty, and even the strange little girl had disappeared!

After a strong storm, Ye Ling felt a sudden silence around her. She slowly lowered her arm that had been blocking her way and realized that she was no longer in the same place!

She was greatly shocked. Amazing! That was her first thought. To be able to appear in another place in an instant, she was no match for him!

Ye Ling quickly calmed herself down and began to look around. The cave was very large, with bone lamps erected on the surrounding stone walls, and in front of her was a throne made of bone, floating in the air!

A stream of bluish-gray aura was gathering from all directions toward the bone base, slowly condensing into the shape of a human figure!

Ye Qing cautiously sized up her opponent, while mentally assessing their strength. She slowly moved her hand backward, rubbing the space ring on her finger, which contained many life-saving items!

After all, the Hongmeng Space Bracelet is her secret treasure, and she doesn't want to expose it so early. If the other party kills her to steal the treasure, even though she has many life-saving items given to her by her senior uncles and senior brothers, how long can she withstand such powerful strength, and whether she can escape from the other party's clutches is still unknown!

Ye Ling thought to herself, "Luckily, I prepared several spatial artifacts and put some magical treasures in each one. That way, if I am no match for the opponent, I can give up one of the spatial artifacts to save my life!"

At this moment, she really wanted to give herself a thumbs up; all her preparations had finally come in handy!

After the figure on the bone seat completely solidified, Ye Ling was slightly distracted for a moment, then became even more vigilant!

The man on the bone seat was dressed in a blue-green robe with patterns outlined in silver threads, exuding an aura of nobility!

What impressed Ye Ling the most was that face that captivated everyone. Even she marveled at the wisdom of the Creator, wondering how such a sophisticated face could exist!

Ye Ling, a girl who has lived in the modern world for more than 20 years, has seen many handsome men and beautiful women online, but even so, she was still completely shocked by the other person's beauty!

The other person had striking features, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, giving him a very heroic appearance. However, the crimson in his eyes added a touch of wickedness, and a beauty mark at the corner of his eye added a touch of allure. The arrogance in his eyes was the finishing touch, making him look wild and unruly!

She had seen many people like him online in her previous life, but she had never met anyone like him who possessed all the advantages in one person. His noble temperament and the arrogance that emanated from his very bones made her feel as insignificant as an ant in front of him! She could only look up to him!

The more this happened, the more worried Ye Ling became. Although the person in front of her looked like a handsome young man, his aura suggested that he was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. He exuded scheming and cunning from the inside out, and this kind of person was the most difficult to deal with!

Ye Ling cautiously asked, "Senior, I am but a humble woman who unfortunately got separated from my elders and wandered into this place by mistake. I did not mean to disturb you! I hope you will forgive me!"

The man opposite him leaned casually against the bone seat, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with mockery as he stared at the other man!

He glanced at her casually and noticed that she possessed many magical treasures. Judging from her attire, she did indeed resemble a young lady from a reclusive noble family, and seemed quite pampered! However, it was still uncertain whether what she said was true!

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, but Ye Ling noticed it. She guessed that he probably already believed her.

Then Ye Ling continued to deceive, saying, "This junior is new here and has disturbed you, senior. This is not what I intended. If you are angry, senior, I am willing to make amends!"

Ye Ling then waited for the other party's reply! The other party continued to look at her quietly, without even changing their posture! Ye Ling appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was panicking. He really couldn't tell whether the other party would agree, and then he regretted it in his heart, wondering why he had gone to all this trouble to let this old fox fall into his trap!

After a long while, the other party gave a contemptuous laugh, and a deep voice rang out, "You cunning girl!"

Just that one sentence made Ye Ling's heart sink to the bottom. The other party really didn't hold back at all and saw through her little thoughts! But fortunately, the next sentence eased Ye Ling's tension.

All I heard was the other party casually say, "Tell me how you plan to compensate me?"

Ye Ling answered irrelevantly, "This junior's name is Xiao Yuyan. May I ask who you are, senior?"

Ye Ling did not reveal her real name. She originally wanted to make one up, but before she could think it through, she subconsciously said the name of her friend from another world!

Ye Ling thought to herself, "Sorry, Xiao Yanyan, you'll have to take the blame for now! Anyway, the other party doesn't know you!"

Ye Ling tentatively inquired about the other party's identity, hoping to gather information and find someone who could intimidate them, thus securing a glimmer of hope for her own survival.

Faced with Ye Ling's probing, the man opposite her didn't take it to heart and said directly, "I am Xuan He, the patriarch of Xuanling Palace! Do you know my name, girl?"

Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed. He had only been in the cultivation world for a few days. Although he had been immersed in books for a long time, only he knew that he had only learned the basic knowledge and had not studied any biographies!

Ye Ling said, "This junior is ignorant and has never heard of your name, senior!"

The man opposite him fell into deep thought, then muttered to himself, "Back then, I dominated the entire Celestial Realm, but today no one knows me! Truly, fate is cruel!"

As Ye Ling listened to the other person talking to himself, she could sense the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life from the changing aura around him!
