CHAPTER 727: CHAPTER 594: THE FATE OF THE WICKED

Soul Separation!

Xue Pianran heard this term and immediately felt like she had found a lifeline, desperately grasping the hand of the beautiful woman.

"Mother, what exactly is this Soul Separation you speak of?"

"Soul Separation, as ancient books describe, is essentially Body Seizing. It transforms the soul of the original body’s host into your own soul. Once merged, you can freely control the new body and even acquire all the skills that the body possesses," Elder Ying explained roughly.

"But Elder, Soul Separation is an Evil Technique. In the past, the Three Sects and Nine Schools explicitly forbade its use. Anyone found practicing it would be put to death," Chen Hongru interjected, his scalp tingling as he listened.

He had always known that the people of the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion were arrogant and presumptuous. Earlier, Elder Ying had forcefully used the Planting Face Technique on her own maid, which was already cruel. Now, for the sake of her daughter Xue Pianran, she was even prepared to use Soul Separation.

The thought of offending the Three Sects and being jointly hunted down made Chen Hongru tremble slightly.

"Chen Hongru, dare you babble in front of me. If not for your negligence, would Pianran have ended up like this? Don’t forget, besides being my daughter, Pianran is also the daughter of the Great Elder of the Hunyuan Sect," Elder Ying snorted coldly, her beautiful face full of arrogance.

Xue Pianran’s biological father was the Great Elder Chang Luo of the Hunyuan Sect. This time, Elder Ying’s visit to Beiqing was partly due to the Great Elder.

Chen Hongru was instantly rendered speechless. With the Hunyuan Sect involved, he was already in deep trouble, not to mention the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion.

"Mother, according to what you’ve just said, I only need to find a woman whose appearance satisfies me, and you have a way to help me perform Soul Separation and control her body?" Xue Pianran still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Of course, it’s true. You’d better find a woman whose age and strength are similar to yours; that way, the chance of successful Soul Separation will be much greater," Elder Ying replied.

In her life, what she cared about most were her own face and Feng Xun.

Without her face, she wouldn’t have the dignity to meet Feng Xun.

But then she thought again, for that vixen Ye Lingyue, Feng Xun now doesn’t even want to see her once. Even if she changed her appearance, it’s likely Feng Xun still wouldn’t want to be with her.

Thinking this, a malicious glint flickered in Xue Pianran’s already hideously distorted eyes.

"Mother, there’s no need to choose anymore, I already have the most suitable candidate. It’s Ye Lingyue! That bitch, she caused all my suffering; I dream of drinking her blood and gnawing her flesh. Now, it seems better to directly scatter her soul. Once I take over her body, I can be with Feng Xun forever."

In Xue Pianran’s view, this plan was seamless, killing two birds with one stone.

Ye Lingyue was extremely beautiful, that body, Xue Pianran was very satisfied with.

"That’s her. Where is that woman now? Mother, go capture her and perform Soul Separation on me immediately," Elder Ying didn’t even blink.

In her view, the other party was merely a Marchioness of Daxia, less significant than an ant.

"Elder Ying, please do not act rashly. That Ye Lingyue is not simple; she herself is an Alchemist of Eighth to Ninth Rank and is famous on the Qing Province Elixir Ranking for her alchemy skills. What’s more urgent, she might have secret dealings with the Underworld Yama Palace," Chen Hongru expressed his concern as he watched the mother and daughter discussing amongst themselves.

"Underworld Yama Palace? Humph! Now that you mention it, I just remembered something. Even if it wasn’t for Ye Lingyue, I need to settle scores with Ghost Emperor Wu Chong. That scoundrel, taking advantage of the Pavilion Master’s seclusion and the weakened Array Power of our Sect, brazenly broke into the forbidden area of our Yaochi Immortal Pavilion and injured our Divine Beast. The Divine Beast has lost a drop of Heart Blood and is now dying," as Elder Ying remembered this, a surge of frustration arose in her heart.

The Yaochi Pavilion Master has not yet emerged from seclusion. Should she find after coming out that supervision had been lax, she would undoubtedly punish severely.

All of this was because of that scoundrel, Wu Zhong.

"Mother, this is perfect. Old and new grievances can all be attributed to Ye Lingyue. Once your daughter has seized Ye Lingyue’s body, I will help you find that Ghost Emperor and kill him, to alleviate your anger," Xue Pianran thought to herself. Soon she would possess Ye Lingyue’s body and could rightfully be with Feng Xun. This thought filled her with ecstatic joy.

"This matter can wait; your face can last another month. In fact, Mother came to Beiqing this time because there is another matter. Your father’s proudest disciple has encountered some problems. He asked me to come and see what exactly happened," explained Elder Ying, known in the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion for her medical skills, which included the Planting Face Technique and Soul Separation.

The ’father’ Xue Pianran mentioned refers to Chang Luo of Hunyuan Sect, and Chang Luo’s proud disciple is none other than King Kaijiang’s eldest son, Heir Chen Chen Mu.

Emperor Beiqing’s coronation ceremony had already concluded.

However, at the ceremony, there were two extremely unlucky individuals. The most unfortunate was Xue Pianran, who ended up locked in the Heavenly Prison.

The second unlucky person was Heir Chen, Chen Mu.

Speaking of Chen Mu, that night, having drunk too much Rainbow Five Treasures Brew, he was taken back to Prince Manor.

The drunken stupor was severe.

Chen Mu ended up unconscious for two full days and nights, only waking up on the third day from his hangover.

The first thing he heard upon waking was that Feng Xun had been banished from the Feng Residence.

Overjoyed by the news, Chen Mu couldn’t contain himself.

He coveted Ye Lingyue’s beauty and had longed to snatch her from Feng Xun’s hands.

Now that Feng Xun had lost his status as the Feng Residence Master, he had even less right to compete with Chen Mu for Ye Lingyue.

Chen Mu hurriedly inquired about Ye Lingyue’s whereabouts, planning to court her while she was still in Beiqing, hoping to win her heart.

However, just as Chen Mu was stepping out of his manor, he felt the Primordial Power within him flowing in reverse, and within his Dantian, there was a sensation of needles prickling everywhere.

Chen Mu thought that the chaotic drinking had disrupted his Elixir Core and planned to return to his manor to recuperate.

But when he tried to regulate it, it only made things worse.

Chen Mu immediately vomited two large bowls of black blood and fainted, now he still lies on his bed like a corpse.

This fainting spell terrified Chen Tuo and Princess Chen, who hurriedly sought the best doctor in the city and even invited Chen Hongru to their home, but after examination, no one could identify any issues.

Having no other options, Chen Tuo sent an urgent letter to Great Elder Chang Luo in the dead of night. It happened that Great Elder learned that Elder Ying was going to Beiqing because of Xue Pianran’s matter, so he asked her to personally visit and see what exactly was going on!
