Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 243 - 241: Elder Brother

Seeing Xu Yang’s embarrassed appearance, Su Yun felt an indescribable pleasure and couldn’t help but giggle coquettishly.

With swaying flowers and trembling delicate body, even more enticing!

Xu Yang felt his whole body heating up, nearly losing control, and suddenly reached out to grab Su Yun’s arm, intending to push her up.

"Looks like that little Bai Jingxue still hasn’t succeeded!"

Su Yun’s sudden comment made Xu Yang freeze for a moment.

"That little girl even came to ask me about you in the Cyan Gang Sect’s secret realm. I told her you like to take the initiative..." Su Yun leaned to Xu Yang’s ear and whispered with a laugh.

Xu Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly.

What the hell is all this about?

"Su Yun, you—"

Mm!!

Xu Yang’s whole body shuddered, feeling his lips sealed by two warm, soft petals, his mind instantly going blank.

The very air froze at this moment!

No other sound could be heard!

Xu Yang’s eyes widened; his hands gripping Su Yun’s arm slowly relaxed.

For a certain moment.

Xu Yang jolted awake, suddenly feeling a heaviness over him, and looked to find Su Yun had closed her eyes again, her aura turning weak once more.

"Su Yun?"

Xu Yang reached out, and Su Yun’s body limply collapsed into his arms.

He hurriedly caught her, examined her closely, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Su Yun had fallen into unconscious sleep again!

It seemed the Reviving Purple Flame Wood could only grant her temporary awakening.

Unless the Mother and Child Profound Gold Insect was completely removed!

Even in slumber, Su Yun’s face showed undisguised satisfaction. Xu Yang awkwardly touched his lips, as if her taste still lingered.

"Not a bad feeling at all."

Xu Yang grinned rakishly.

The bit of inner conflict dispersed completely.

Zheng Qi, Huangfu Qing, Song Yuanhao—those people don’t scare me. Why would I fear being betrayed by a woman again?

Back then, I was simply blind!

Never again, ever!

Then he placed Su Yun back into the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant.

Buzz!!

Xu Yang’s eyes suddenly became dazed.

In his Sea of Consciousness, Spiritual Power surged; the Six Paths Locking Heaven Divine Chain appeared out of thin air, becoming even more substantial under the reflection of his Spiritual Power.

"Another unexpected improvement brought by a shift in my state of mind."

Xu Yang’s spirit was stirred. Lost in thought, he immediately sat cross-legged, calmed his breath, and entered perfect tranquility.

As time passed.

The surrounding void began to stir with wind.

From a gentle breeze grew fierce gales, as if a violent storm erupted, shaking the ancient trees within several hundred zhang, making them rustle, the wind howling up to the heavens!

Xu Yang gently opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"My Spiritual Power has improved a bit, but the key is that the Six Paths Locking Heaven Divine Chain has advanced another layer!"

"If I break through one more tier, I can nearly start cultivating the Heaven-locking Seal."

The Three Seals of Heaven Locking—Locking Spirit, Locking God, Heaven Locking!

The final Heaven-locking Seal is the essence, and strongest of all!

One Seal locks the heavens—locking spirits, gods, and even the universe itself!

Only after cultivating all three seals will I reach my greatest strength.

Xu Yang carefully sorted through his insights, then took out the map, preparing to find a safe route into the core region of the Purple Fire Celestial Prison!

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, looking with suspicion toward a certain part of the dense forest.

"Was that an illusion?"

Xu Yang frowned, hesitated a moment, then put away the map and quietly darted away.

Dozens of breaths later.

On the side of the forest near the cliff, hidden under weeds, was a concealed cave.

"Come out."

Xu Yang stared coldly at the cave and called out.

There was no movement inside.

"If you don’t come out now, don’t blame me for being rude."

Killing intent surged violently.

Accompanied by a weak sob, a filthy little girl crawled out of the cave on hands and knees, her body covered in blood and filth, tear-stained cheeks, staring at Xu Yang in terror.

Xu Yang’s murderous aura froze.

The little girl before him looked only about eight or nine years old. From her disheveled appearance, one could guess what she had been through; her arms, legs, and even one side of her belly were all wounded.

The fear in her eyes brimmed with terror and dread after a fright!

"Please, don’t kill me."

The little girl kept trembling.

To her, Xu Yang seemed like a demon.

Xu Yang took a deep breath and forced an awkward smile onto his face. "Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person."

"What’s your name?"

The little girl shrank back further, wary, biting her lip in silence.

Xu Yang sighed when he saw this, took out a pill, and said, "This is a healing pill. Take it!"

"Your injuries aren’t severe, but if you delay, it won’t be good for you."

Seeing that the girl didn’t move, Xu Yang gently placed the pill on the ground and retreated a few steps.

The little girl hesitated for a long time before finally summoning the courage to pick up the pill, and after another pause, put it in her mouth.

Half a quarter-hour later.

Slightly recovered, the little girl was now much less fearful of Xu Yang.

"Where’s your family?" Xu Yang asked.

A little girl like this—he couldn’t understand how she could end up in a forbidden place like the Purple Fire Celestial Prison?

What kind of heart must her guardian have?

"Big brother, please save my grandpa!"

The little girl suddenly gripped Xu Yang’s hand tightly, looking at him with pleading eyes.

Thud!

She fell to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"My only family is my grandpa. He brought me here to find a life-saving Spirit Elixir, but we met bad people. Grandpa told me to run first..."

Xu Yang quickly helped the girl up and comforted her, "Don’t worry. Which direction is your grandpa?"

Upon hearing this, the girl could barely contain her joy, forgetting to even wipe her tears, she quickly pointed.

"Big brother, are you really willing to help me?"

"Don’t worry!"

Xu Yang smiled gently.

Since he’d come across this, he couldn’t just ignore it!

"By the way, you haven’t told me your name yet."

"Big brother, my name is Li Xin’Er!"

"Good girl, Xin’Er. Don’t be afraid, your grandpa will be fine. Let’s go!"

Xu Yang scooped Li Xin’Er into his arms and dashed swiftly in the direction she pointed.

But deep down, he harbored little hope.

No telling how long this little girl had managed to hide here.

Her grandpa had run into danger here. Whoever dared attack him must be pretty confident!

Even if we find him, it’s likely just a corpse!

Perhaps not even a corpse remains.

But seeing the pleading look in Li Xin’Er’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth.

Let’s hope he’s still alive!

Xu Yang sighed inwardly, picking up speed.

About half a quarter-hour later, crossing the forested region, Xu Yang spotted traces of a fight.

"There were even cultivators of the Myriad Phenomena Realm!"

Xu Yang was secretly shocked. Sweeping over the traces, he barely deduced there were at least three enemies.

"This way..."

Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed, cautiously heading in one direction.

After several dozen breaths.

A strong stench of blood hit them.

Xu Yang raised his hand to cover Li Xin’Er’s eyes, his expression darkening.

On the ground lay four corpses.

But all of them were middle-aged men—no elders among them!

Li Xin’Er’s grandpa wasn’t there!

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes—maybe he’s really still alive.

Thinking this, he quickly moved forward.

After circling a nearby slope, a sharp wind howled toward him.

Without so much as a glance, Xu Yang bent his palm and grabbed.

Bang!

The attack was a whip of True Essence, shattered instantly in Xu Yang’s grip!

"Xin’Er!!"

"Little bastard... let go of my granddaughter."

A weak, furious shout came forth.
