Chapter 4128: Chapter 4128: The Heart Is Dead! (Fifth Update)
Upon seeing this, many members of the Soul Seeking Sect showed strange expressions on their faces. Some even said, "As expected of the sect master, his mere presence completely scares this young man out of his wits, not daring even to retaliate. Such a fool dares to cause trouble at our Soul Seeking Sect; it’s better to kill him."
"That’s right, the sect master’s Divine Might shocks the Universe. Seeing the sect master, this kid surely loses the will to resist, knowing he is undoubtedly doomed. He’s just waiting to die."
Many young women were discussing intensely at this moment. Listening to their words, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth turned up slightly.
Seeing the slight curve at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth, the Soul Seeker Saintess was even more puzzled. Why does this kid not dodge but instead show such an expression? Could it be that he has a trump card?
"Hmph, even if you have some hidden tricks, in front of me, you will be killed with a single sword, and there will be no chance of survival."
With a cold heart, the Soul Seeker Saintess continued attacking Ye Chen with her sword.
However, at this moment, the vast moonlight gradually spread from Ye Chen’s body, a mystical Moon Power permeating everywhere. At the same time, an extraordinarily strange moonlight pattern slowly emerged at Ye Chen’s brow, causing those who saw it to immediately want to fall into it.
Seeing the moonlight pattern, the Soul Seeker Saintess was suddenly shocked in her heart. The sword about to hit Ye Chen abruptly stopped. She hovered in front of Ye Chen, staring at him intently, her face filled with endless shock.
"Who exactly are you!"
The Soul Seeker Saintess looked at Ye Chen in a lost state and shouted.
Seeing the Soul Seeker Saintess like this, the members of the Soul Seeking Sect, who were sure of Ye Chen’s impending death, were now internally shocked.
The sect master’s strength is something they, as sect members, are most aware of. No one could ever make the usually cold-natured sect master act this way.
But to Ye Chen, seeing the Soul Seeker Saintess so moved because of a single moon pattern of the Yue Hun Witch, his eyes flashed with a gentle light. This indicated the Soul Seeker Saintess’s loyalty and affection towards the Yue Hun Witch, for which Ye Chen had the utmost admiration.
Then, words from the Yue Hun Witch echoed in Ye Chen’s mind. Following her instructions, Ye Chen spoke word by word, "For a hundred generations, the moonlight illuminates the world; I vow to live eternally with you, Qing’er."
Although the members of the Soul Seeking Sect did not understand the meaning of Ye Chen’s words, they could sense the grand aspirations and sincere emotions within this sentence, making each of them deeply moved.
At this moment, they looked at the Soul Seeker Saintess again in shock because they discovered that she was crying.
To know that the sect master is usually someone who is cold and emotionless in the face of anything, yet was brought to tears by a single sentence, how is this possible? Has the world changed, or are they trapped in an illusion?
The members of the Soul Seeking Sect could not understand why the Soul Seeker Saintess would shed tears, but Ye Chen knew very well; the Soul Seeker Saintess, though appearing cold, actually poured all her emotions into the Yue Hun Witch. Only the Yue Hun Witch could warm the cold heart of the Soul Seeker Saintess, making her deeply moved to tears.
"Master..."
The Soul Seeker Saintess looked at Ye Chen and murmured in her heart.
The poem Ye Chen recited was exactly what the Yue Hun Witch had originally said to the Soul Seeker Saintess, back when the Soul Seeker Saintess was just a Moon Deer.
The Yue Hun Witch named the Soul Seeker Saintess ’Qing’er,’ and this sentence expressed her feelings towards her. Their relationship, like the mirror of eternal moonlight, was meant to last forever, willing to live eternally together.
This sentence had never been mentioned to anyone by either the Yue Hun Witch or the Soul Seeker Saintess, which was why, upon hearing it, the Soul Seeker Saintess was certain that Ye Chen knew the Yue Hun Witch.
At this moment, the Soul Seeker Saintess, looking at Ye Chen, had tears glistening in her eyes, speaking with a choked voice, "Please follow me to the main hall for a discussion."
After speaking to Ye Chen, the Soul Seeker Saintess turned to look at the members of the Soul Seeking Sect, her face turning stern: "None of you are allowed to approach the main hall. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
With that said, the Soul Seeker Saintess led Ye Chen away, heading to the main hall of the Soul Seeking Sect.
...
Standing in the main hall, the Soul Seeker Saintess looked at Ye Chen, her eyes trembling, her mouth opening and closing. Her heart was in turmoil, fearing that the question she was about to ask would lead to an unbearable answer.
At this moment, vibrations came from the Samsara Graveyard within Ye Chen’s body. The Yue Hun Witch gazed gently at the Soul Seeker Saintess. In the next moment, she stepped out from the Samsara Graveyard, her divine soul shadow descending directly into the external world, appearing in front of the Soul Seeker Saintess.
Seeing the Yue Hun Witch, the Soul Seeker Saintess’s body suddenly shook. In the very next moment, she knelt before the Yue Hun Witch, transforming into a mystical Moon Deer whose moonlit radiance illuminated the All Heavens, looking tearfully at the Yue Hun Witch.
"Master, is it really you."
The Moon Deer spoke in a trembling voice to the Yue Hun Witch.
The Yue Hun Witch gently looked at the Moon Deer, reaching out to stroke her head.
Their reunion crossed countless ages, proving the sincerity of their feelings. At this moment, it seemed like heaven and earth were rejoicing for the reunion of the Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess.
Time seemed to rewind to the ancient past, recreating the beautiful image of a young woman wandering the Ten Thousand Realms with a Moon Deer.
The Yue Hun Witch and the Moon Deer spoke many words, eventually, the Yue Hun Witch waved her hand and said, "Alright, you should stand up, I have questions for you."
Upon hearing this, the Moon Deer’s body flickered, transforming back into the form of the Soul Seeker Saintess, standing reverently in front of the Yue Hun Witch.
"I need to ask you, do you know where my True Body is?"
Hearing the Yue Hun Witch’s question, the Soul Seeker Saintess’s eyes shone with deep light, nodding vigorously.
"Of course I know, Master, I have never given up searching for you over these millennia, and have basically determined the whereabouts of your True Body through our connection."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the Yue Hun Witch’s eyes also lit up, quickly asking, "Where is my True Body?"
"Your True Body is likely trapped around the Xuantian Sword Tomb. This Xuantian Sword Tomb completely severed the possibility of me finding you."
The Soul Seeker Saintess said this, her expression turning sorrowful.
At this moment, the Yue Hun Witch was also suddenly stunned. Clearly, the name Xuantian Sword Tomb had too great an impact on her, making even the Yue Hun Witch’s eyes dim.
Watching their demeanor, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel curious and had to look at the Soul Seeker Saintess for answers, which she provided.
"The Xuantian Sword Tomb is such a terrifying place that even experts from the Primordial Origin Realm who enter are likely to perish. It’s one of the top ten forbidden areas of the Outer Realm."
The Soul Seeker Saintess said this, a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes, "Moreover, this Xuantian Sword Tomb was sealed many years ago by that bitch, the Upper Realm Empress, Xuan Jiyue. Only she can enter it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s face turned solemn as well. Currently, there is no way he can shake Xuan Jiyue, and with the seal set up by her, only she herself can enter it. Even if he found the Xuantian Sword Tomb, he would likely have no choice but to look on and sigh, unable to set foot inside.
At this moment, the Yue Hun Witch’s eyes completely darkened, knowing that rescuing her True Body was almost an impossible task. Her Heart Fire had already been extinguished, and her heart was dead!
