853 14.129 Last Violet Star – (Past) Two Souls, One Body.

The expedition group had just passed through the Western Lands’ gates. When they all returned, it was in the middle of the night and most people were asleep. Bai Wuan and the others made the decision to look into lodging within the city and return to the Lan Zhuayun Sect the following morning. Since it was already late, they didn’t want to wake up anyone who was fast asleep in the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

“Even though we returned to the Western City, nearly everything was closed because it was already midnight. Do you have any immediate plans to visit the Lan Zhuayun Sect?” Lu Yi asked.

Yun Xiajie, who was carrying his sleeping lover on his back, replied, “No. It’s past 10. The gates of the sect should be locked. Go tomorrow.”

Jin Shiyan who was looking around for an inn accidentally saw what was going on in the direction of the Lan Zhuayun Sect and was surprised by what he was witnessing. He immediately told the rest about what he had seen.

“Look at those flares; something doesn’t look right about the Lan Zhuayun Sect.”

The minute they heard bells ringing across the entire city, even Bai Wuan who was asleep woke up.

The meaning of this warning sound was clear to those who had lived by and remembered the Sect Rules of the Lan Zhuayun Sect. It denotes that someone broke into the Sect. The guards failed to spot an adversary approach. The Lan Zhuayun Sect uses this as their strongest cautionary measure.

His lover placed him down and held his hand while nodding in agreement to Bai Wuan’s remarks, “Someone tried to breach the array in the main peak. A’Xia we need to go back immediately.”

Bai Wuan glanced at Jin Shiyan and Lu Yi before planning to leave.

…..

“Do you wish to come with us?”

“Of course!” said Lu Yi as he hit his chest.Please visit f???e??????n?????l. ??????

Despite wanting to go seek for his future wife, Jin Shiyan believed he shouldn’t disturb them with his personal issues.

As if aware of his thoughts, Bai Wuan says, “Can you look after my siblings for me? I’ll teleport you directly to where Lili is.” He requested. ．𝙘𝙤𝙢

“I will, Brother Wuan,” Jin Shiyan vowed.

The other members of their group of cultivators, who were aware of Bai Wuan’s teleportation skills, stared at him with understanding. However, there are limitations on how many people he can bring. Three people plus himself were the maxima.

The elders who came with them said, “Go. We will be there too as soon as we can!”

“You can leave the other disciples here with us. Don’t worry about them.”

The four young leaders of their generation clasped their hands in front of the elders to show their respects before using Bai Wuan’s teleportation skills to vanish into thin air. That is how Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie promptly showed up on the Main Peak and stopped Devil Fennu from escaping.

Back to the current timeline…

Despite the disparity in their levels of cultivation, the Second Young Master Yun didn’t hold back any of his might when he battled Devil Fennu. Bai Wuan didn’t interfere in the fight since he knew that Yun Xiajie would be able to handle the challenge. The rest were stunned and speechless as they witnessed Yun Xiajie casually deflecting Devil Fennu’s onslaught.

“How would Xiao Jie be capable of facing him equally when I couldn’t even see through that Devil’s cultivation?” mumbled Yun Huaxia.

Bai Wuan explains, “A’Xia had a breakthrough Soul Transformation Stage after fighting with Xie Gui. Though it was only in the Early stages, it was sufficient to contend against a Devil who can only use Soul Transformation strength at most in the body of the mortal.” As he move his gaze to Devil Jidu, who was about to warn his brother about them being reincarnated immortals.

Devil Jidu yells, {Brother Fennu, be careful. That young human child is a reincarnated immor… Cough!}

Devil Jidu suddenly coughed up some blood, and he then noticed a white, clean hand stabbing his heart from behind. He turned around and saw the child who went by the name of Bai Wuan with the ethereal face of a cold-hearted beauty.

{You are… insane. You don’t even care about your Father Yun’s body… at all.}

With a cruel expression on his face, Bai Wuan adds, “Until then… Your prison shall be my vessel instead. As long as the body is purified and returned to earth… I could resurrect Father Yun countless times as I wished to.”

A red soul wisp that is bound by golden soul chains emerged above Bai Wuan’s palm as he withdrew his hand. He positioned the soul on his chest, then shoved it into his body. Although Bai Wuan’s present vessel may be that of a mortal, the divinity in his blood and flesh was something highly detrimental for a devil-like Jidu, making the procedure incredibly agonizing for Devil Jidu. He did this while repairing Sect Master Yun’s body.

{Agh! No… It hurts. Fuck you! My soul… Graa… It’s burning. B-Brother Fennu… Help me!!! Ahhh!!!}

Devil Jidu screamed in agony for salvation, but no one was able to assist him in any way. The Second Young Master Yun even stabbed Devil Fennu after pausing abruptly upon hearing his brother’s screams. When he turned back, he was met by an incredibly attractive human child holding a devil’s soul in his hand with an expressionless face and indifferent gaze.

Devil Fennu, stunned and bewildered, questioned, {How can you…Agh!}

He was stabbed in the stomach with a sword. It was an absolutely black sword that could damage his soul. Yun Xiajie is thrown out of him as he glares at him.

{Get the ** off, you brat! Ugh~}

Jin Baihua’s words are echoing in his mind. ‘Escape! These two aren’t normal, more so the one with the silver eyes. He is clever and far more dangerous than the others here.’

{My soul has been hurt. If I give you control of this body, would you be able to flee?}

‘I shall try my best since I don’t want to perish at their hands,’ Jin Baihua retorted.

{I’ll share my strength with you. No matter what, escape!} Devil Fennu remarked, sensing that his soul wisp was about to collapse.

Even Gods can be killed by Yun Xiajie’s natal sword, let alone a Devil like Fennu. He should be grateful that the Second Young Master can’t wield divinity just yet, since if he could, one stab would be enough to eliminate him.

Devil Fennu was forced to retire due to the serious damage to his soul. Jin Baihua seized control of the body, and the influence of Shenyuan on him significantly diminished. After all, Jin Baihua is still a mortal, and when used against people, the God Slaying Blade functions exactly like any other sword. Bai Wuan sensed the Devil’s resistance to Shenyuan’s influence steadily fading. It appeared as though the body’s owner had been exchanged.

He scowled as he began to understand the situation. Don’t let him escape, Bai Wuan yells, “A’Xia, your sword’s influence vanished, and the spirit in that devil’s vessel is no longer a demon but a human.”

However, as if the spirit in the devil’s body was aware of their plans, he altered his attack range to target the sect’s other mountain peaks, compelling Yun Xiajie and Bai Wuan to concentrate on defending them rather than seizing them.

“No, he’s going to blow up the other summits!”

In order to stop Jin Baihua’s sporadic attacks while he makes every effort to flee, Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie had to soar together to block his desperate attacks. In his rage, Bai Wuan utilized power, which is against the rules of his present cultivation.

“Halt!”

Suddenly, Jin Baihua was unable to move, saying, ‘My body… I am powerless over it!’

{Let me handle things for a while. To be able to use the power of speech, this human child must not be an average mortal at all. Give me control over the body Jin Baihua.}

‘Okay.’

Devil Fennu traded places once more. Following the use of Authority by Bai Wuan against Jin Baihua, Devil Fennu stopped briefly due to a soul exchange before continuing to take flight and escape. This time, Bai Wuan frowned instead of stopping them.

“What’s wrong, Jing’er?” asked the Second Young Master Yun as he walked up to him and clasped his beloved’s hands.

Bai Wuan said, “That Devil… Unlike Father Yun’s case, the human soul who previously owned the body wasn’t consumed; instead, they both reside in the same body.”

As soon as he understood him, Yun Xiajie questioned, “A traitor of the human race?”

“He continues assisting the Devil in his body, therefore it must be. Cough!”

Bai Wuan violently coughs up blood in his mouth. It was a backlash to his exerting his unique power of authority which isn’t meant to be allowed in this realm. Also, it must reach a specific stage of cultivation before it may be freely utilized. He just exploited it to the maximum degree that his mortal body could withstand. This resulted in him being injured internally.

“Jing’er!!?”

Bai Wuan embraced his lover and said, “I’m alright. Just overdid it just now. Help me descend.”

As they descended gently from the skies to the Main Peak’s land, the Second Young Master Yun held him by the waist. The vessel of the Great Elder’s eldest brother had just been restored by Bai Wuan after he had expunged the Devil’s soul.

The others, including the Great Elder, noted Bai Wuan’s pallor as the couple approached.

“Are you okay, brother?” Bai Qiyin worriedly asked.

“Don’t worry. It’s only regular internal injuries. It could be treated after a brief meditation. How is Father Yun’s vessel?” Bai Wuan enquired.

“There is no issue in the body, but… Father Yun’s soul… Something is off,” stated Bai Qiyin.

Bai Wuan yelled, “Help me get here.”

They headed to the location where the Great Elder and the Sect Master Yun’s Soul remained together with the assistance of Yun Xiajie and his younger brother, Bai Wuan was brought over. The disciples of the other peaks were hurt by some haphazard attacks that were brought on by the Devil going mad just then, thus Yun Huaxia was left to maintain order in the Sect.

“A’Wuan. What is happening to my elder brother? He abruptly stopped talking and he can no longer hear us,” the Great Elder questioned.

“He can now enter the Reincarnation Hall for Resurrection since his spirit gate leading to the Underworld has been unlocked after his captured vessel was liberated from the Devil’s grasp,” explained Bai Wuan.

The Yun Clan was ecstatic after hearing Bai Wuan’s statements. They were aware that their Sect Master had been rescued and may be revived in his original form. Bai Wuan’s responses on their behalf pleased Yun Huaxia and Yun Xiayu. They had no knowledge of the above realm, but only immortals had the power to manipulate the resurrection of the dead. Even Yun Xiajie was overjoyed to learn that his father may resurrect.

“He will shortly awaken in his body for a while,” Bai Wuan predicted, “Following which he would have to depart for the underworld after the body has returned to earth.”

Great Elder Yun said, “How long before my brother returns, A’Wuan?”

“I can tell you that he would return to life in at least a year and at most three years. Please wait till then,” answered Bai Wuan.

Added Bai Wuan as he whispered to his beloved, “You should also stay here and wait for him to open his eyes, saying your goodbyes before he goes to the underworld.”

Without saying a word, Yun Xiajie just stares at him, but unlike the others who had missed his beloved’s afflictions, he was aware that the devil in his father’s vessel had been transferred to his Jing’er. The crowd gathered around them prevented him from asking additional questions that he wanted to. When he attempted to do so, Bai Wuan would give him a firm head shake.

“With Qiqi by his side, I would be fine. Don’t worry, I will just go meet my siblings and Jin Shiyan in their courtyard. Come pick me up after Father Yun has left.” convinced his lover. “Stay. Even if it’s only three years… Father Yun would lose contact with this world until he was resurrected. Pay your respect properly as his son. I would be okay.” said Bai Wuan as he disappeared from the crowd with his younger brother.

Having been left behind, Yun Xiajie had no choice but to check on his father.
