Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 416: Chapter 202 Murong Ying_2

Grinding her teeth, Murong Ying used several forbidden techniques in a row, but all failed, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Theoretically, once these forbidden techniques were deployed, even powerhouses at the Tongxuan Realm could not block them, let alone trace them, and could only watch helplessly as she fled.

For her to have paid such a tremendous price in vain, the being stopping her must be at least a saint of the Saint Abyss Realm, but when was there ever a saint at the Saint Abyss Realm in Qianyuan Divine Province?

Moreover, within the Ancient Empire—a place of little significance—the highest one could find was a Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperor. One would rarely even encounter someone from the True Martial Realm, so how did she come across a saint from the Saint Abyss Realm?

Unable to understand, Murong Ying regained her calm and ceased to resist. She wanted to see who the person was and what their intentions were to dare take such a great risk to capture her.

Image after image flashed through Murong Ying’s mind, with many potential suspects—all with significant backgrounds—who might be capable of such an act.

Up in the Nine Heavens,

Han Li smiled, looking at Murong Ying in her blue gauze garment within his palm, and thought to himself:

“Zi Yi, Shiqi, obfuscate time and space, conceal cause and effect, then send forth a ray of the Emperor’s Light to probe into her sea of consciousness, and see if she is indeed a reincarnated split soul of those empresses from the Endless Yuankun Domain.”

He initially thought about investigating with his Divine Sense, but he held back. Murong Ying was different from Yao Xi, who had not awakened when he found her, and this Murong Ying had used many techniques that he found mysterious; her background was definitely significant.

Had he not empowered the Void Bell with a strand of might, he might not have been able to capture Murong Ying.

Murong Ying’s Divine Spirit seal must have been unlocked. If he rashly probed, he might have suffered a great loss, and the chances were high that she was a split soul of a Heaven Imperial Realm empress.

“Understood, Master~”

The voices of Zi Yi and Shiqi echoed in Han Li’s heart simultaneously, after which two invisible rays of Emperor’s Light descended from the Nine Heavens into Murong Ying’s sea of consciousness.

“What are you doing?”

Murong Ying instantly detected the anomaly in her sea of consciousness. Standing in the palm of Han Li’s hand, her tone was cold beyond measure.

Han Li paid her no attention, quietly awaiting the outcome, and before long, Zi Yi and Shiqi voiced their findings to him.

Indeed, it was a split soul of a Heaven Imperial Realm empress!

Han Li’s brows furrowed slightly, then smoothed out, and he vanished from the spot, soon returning to Chengsheng Mountain.

Now that he had caught a big fish, there was no need to continue his travels; it would not do for complications to arise.

Back on Chengdao Peak, Han Li shook his hand, and Murong Ying landed on the mountain summit, standing not far from him.

Looking at the man standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from her, Murong Ying’s expression was as cold as ice, her words measured and decisive:

“You are making a grave mistake!”

As the reincarnation of a split soul of Empress Yuanchu, Murong Ying’s Divine Spirit seal had finally been broken at fourteen. That was when she embarked on the path of cultivation, progressing rapidly and reaching the mid-stage of the God Refining Realm in no time.

Murong Ying had many of Empress Yuanchu’s memories, mainly her cultivation techniques, martial skills, cultivational experiences, and combat experiences. As for Empress Yuanchu’s personal experiences, there were only vague memories, thus she had a distinct personality.

Nevertheless, her original being, Empress Yuanchu, was one of the strongest Great Emperors in the Endless Yuankun Domain, and being a split soul of hers, her status was naturally lofty.

With memories from Empress Yuanchu, Murong Ying had great vision and a broad perspective. She did not take Qianyuan Divine Province seriously. If things went smoothly, she would be able to reach the Tongxuan Realm within a hundred years, and the Saint Abyss Realm in another hundred years.

But now she was captured, her cultivation sealed, even the hidden reserves in her Divine Spirit were locked away, which infuriated Murong Ying.

This person was likely sent by one of her adversaries!

In the hundred thousand years, there had been thousands of reincarnated split souls, but only a few had successfully cultivated to the Saint Abyss Realm; most had perished prematurely.

Most of these prematurely perished split souls died before their Divine Spirit seals could be unlocked. The rest fell to hidden adversaries, with very few dying at the hands of other cultivators.

“The old ancestor is not easily frightened,” Han Li said in a light voice.

Murong Ying stared intently at Han Li’s back, her brows furrowed tightly and she questioned, “Who sent you? Empress Fengyue? Emperor Bai? Butian Sect Master? Or the Western Sky Palace Master?”

“No one sent me, they can’t instruct me,” Han Li stated indifferently.

“Is that so?”

Murong Ying’s eyes flickered slightly, and she began to believe him somewhat; those people’s underlings would typically just kill a split soul like hers and would not go to great lengths to take her away.

Moreover, this person did not seem to revere those she had mentioned in her questions, so it was quite likely that another cultivator with ulterior motives had set his sights on her.

This person’s cultivation was indeed formidable, but she felt that he was boasting. Empress Fengyue and the Lord of the Western Sky Palace were among the most powerful, on the same level as her original self. And yet this mere Saint Abyss Realm cultivator dared to speak so boldly?

However, Murong Ying did not question further. As long as they weren’t the underlings of those supremely powerful individuals, there was still hope; otherwise, she truly faced a dead end. If possible, Murong Ying did not wish to die.

“What is your intent?”

Murong Ying inquired, preparing to give him the runaround, to buy herself time.

Knowing that deploying forbidden techniques was futile, she had secretly communicated across boundless time and space to her original being using a special method. Once her original being learned of her plight, she would surely send for her rescue, all she needed was to delay for a while.

Han Li turned around, looking at this peerless beauty in her blue gown and veiled face, he said lightly, “You will have no reinforcements.”
