HCB Chapter 168 Sister, stop!
Chapter 168 Sister, stop!
Luo Sifan arrived at Lianbao's inner chamber.
To control Lianbao to travel thousands of miles, it's necessary to operate it inside the golden coffin.
Inside the Lotus Treasure Chamber, a figure appeared on the light wall, and Yu Lianxin's reaction was quite quick.
Luo Sifan was about to step into the golden coffin when he was moved by Yu Lianxin's hesitant expression and stopped.
"Lianxin, you're acting strange today. Is there something you need from your brother?"
After teasing this proud and flawed immortal soul so much last time, Luo Sifan didn't expect her to become much cuter. He just hoped she wouldn't rebel and cause trouble, and that he wouldn't get annoyed when he stayed in the Lotus Treasure Inner Chamber.
Unexpectedly, she came to him today, spying on Luo Sifan, acting furtively and hesitantly, as if she was itching to get closer.
Luo Sifan remained calm, a smile playing on his lips, while Yu Lianxin, seemingly encouraged, boldly voiced her thoughts:
"Luo Sifan, I... I don't want to be bound by this magic array every day. Could you send my soul to this world?"
Luo Sifan had already intended this, and after a moment's thought, he said:
“Lotus Heart, you must know that my power is limited to the Lotus Treasure Realm. It is not difficult to transform you, but after the transformation, you will be forever confined to this realm, and the protective power of the magic array will be lost. Do you understand?”
Yu Lianxin was surrounded by a dazzling light, which caused a moment of confusion. Luo Sifan's frankness was clearly somewhat unexpected for her.
Luo Sifan waited silently for a while, thinking that she was having trouble making a decision, so he stopped waiting and jumped into the golden coffin.
The Lotus Treasure Formation requires the immortal energy of Yu Li Shuang to activate it. Yu Li Shuang sacrificed herself, severing her life force, and her soul shattered. The fragmented divine thoughts from her two lifetimes, one immortal and one mortal, were enveloped by the immortal energy within her soul and absorbed into the Lotus Treasure Formation.
Yu Lianxin had the intention of becoming a human, but how could the Lotus Treasure Formation easily release the immortal essence she had obtained? Even if Luo Sifan did not want her to be trapped by the formation, all he could do was merge those scattered divine thoughts into his life force and transform her into a mortal in the Lotus Treasure Realm.
Inside the golden coffin, a green and white mist floated and lingered beside Luo Sifan, the very life force left behind by Yu Lishuang after severing her ties with the mortal world.
Without thought or consciousness, vague and boundless, it was instinctively drawn by Luo Sifan's scent and drifted out from the depths of the golden coffin, hovering around Luo Sifan. At the slightest movement from Luo Sifan, it was frightened and fled.
Luo Sifan looked at it deeply, his heart aching again. This thing was both intimate and distant, just like Yu Lishuang, who was separated from him by life and death, whom he longed for day and night but could never see.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Luo Sifan shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to ponder the complex array inside the golden coffin.
A few moments later, just like a few days ago, the Hehuan Sect experienced earth-shaking tremors, and the situation was even more dire than it had been a few days prior.
"Another earthquake?"
Shu Hongyi, still recovering from her injuries, quickly hugged Lin Qianxiu tightly and complained in surprise.
She was unaware that she was already thousands of miles away in the Western Kingdom, and thought she was still within the Yinshuang Realm.
Lin Qianxiu was used to it and knew exactly what was going on.
"Sister Shu, it's alright. Help me up, I'll be fine in a minute!"
Luo Sifan kept his word and was indeed returning to the East today. Logically, Lin Qianxiu should have been overjoyed, but for some reason, Luo Sifan's melancholy when they were together made her less excited.
After the violent tremor, there was a momentary daze of the soul.
Lin Qianxiu opened her eyes and realized that she was more than ten thousand miles away and had returned to the Yinshuang Realm.
Luo Sifan sat upright in the golden coffin, his face pale and a little cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
Controlling the Lotus Treasure to travel thousands of miles is actually quite mentally taxing, but he was only adjusting the magic array and did not lose any spiritual energy as a result.
After resting for a while and calming his mind, Luo Sifan was about to stand up from the golden coffin when his feet lurched and he staggered.
"Magnolia!"
Luo Sifan roared in anger, feeling sorry for Lianbao, and quickly slipped away.
As Lianbao traversed thousands of miles and appeared in the void of the Yinshuang Realm, thousands upon thousands of sword lights surged from all directions, silently and forcefully shattering the moon-sized projection of Lianbao into a fist-sized, crystalline white sphere.
The one wielding the sword was naturally the spirited Bai Lan.
Now, Bai Lan has lost all her elegance. Seventy-two sword shadows of varying depths rise behind her, her long hair flutters, and the fluttering feathers on her white dress dance wildly. She stares menacingly at the uninvited Lian Bao, her hatred reaching the heavens.
The seventy-two swords behind her were all solid, except for the one in the very center, which was ethereal and barely visible.
Thanks to Yu Lishuang, the most important sword body of the seventy-two boundary swords she had forged for nearly a thousand years was taken by Yu Lishuang without asking, causing her to fail at the last minute. How could she not be angry?
These past few days, Bai Lan has been busy patching up the spatial rifts torn open after Yu Li Shuang abducted the realm. Her hair and skirt were disheveled and torn by the turbulent void currents, and her anger gradually built up. She then unleashed a flurry of wild attacks to vent her frustration.
The power of the Realm Sword was so great that even a celestial relic like Lianbao could hardly withstand it. With a single strike, the projection shattered, revealing Lianbao's true form.
"Sister! Stop!"
From the depths of the shimmering sphere of light, Luo Sifan let out a loud roar.
The Lord of Lotus Treasure, through the Lotus Treasure Formation, roared, his voice not only piercing the void and startling Bai Lan, but also nearly deafening the tens of thousands of people within the hundred-mile radius of Lotus Treasure.
In the three cities, regardless of age or gender, everyone was startled, covering their ears and looking up at the sky in horror.
To them, Luo Sifan's roar sounded like rolling thunder from the sky. Those who did not know Luo Sifan mistook it for a divine manifestation, indicating that a great change was about to occur.
"Another older sister? Lin Xiaozhi!!"
Lin Qianxiu, being a sensible person, was so angry that she wanted to cover her ears, not because of the loud noise, but because she was angered by Luo Sifan's heartfelt "sister".
With such a blatant and official announcement to the world, Lin Qianxiu found Luo Sifan's behavior increasingly incomprehensible.
"That voice sounds like Young Master Lin?"
Shu Hongyi was puzzled and asked Lin Qianxiu, whose expression was unfriendly, with a faint sense of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.
"If it wasn't him, who else could it be!"
Lin Qianxiu curled her lips, no longer feeling any pity for Luo Sifan.
Bai Lan raised her hand to stop them, and the myriad sword radiances in the void dispersed behind her, while the seventy-two mountain-like sword shadows gradually disappeared behind her.
Seeing this, Luo Sifan felt relieved and manipulated the projection of Lianbao to appear again. The shape of the illusory moon gradually became larger and larger until it filled the void and included the sneering Bai Lan.
Luo Sifan was only at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and did not have the ability to move freely in the void.
"It really is you?!"
Bai Lan stared at the figure that appeared before her, and the cold smile on her lips became much more lively, releasing a hint of warmth amidst her surprise.
Although Luo Sifan's appearance had changed drastically, and his temperament and demeanor were completely different from before, Bai Lan still recognized him at a glance, and even understood the general changes he had undergone in the past few days.
"Congratulations, little brother! You're quite popular, and another beauty has shown you favor by gifting you this wonderful magical treasure!"
Bai Lan looked at Luo Sifan with a gentle gaze. Although her tone was affectionate, there was a hint of sarcasm in her words that made Luo Sifan's hair stand on end.
