Chapter 293: Bai Miao Miao's Contribution

Eyes fully soaked in Darkness bring boundless terror.

Bai Miao Miao's fear reached its peak at this moment.

But it lasted only an instant; the scene before her changed, the dark eyes in the ice sculpture flashed and vanished, as if they had never existed.

A palm wrapped in flowing light, at an unknown moment, landed on her throat.

Puff!

Bai Miao Miao was strangled, and her bodily strength was sealed.

"We concede!"

At the same time, a voice sounded on the Qingqiu Yun Tai.

Qingqiu Emperor Lord Bai Zhou voluntarily chose to concede, unwilling to let Bai Miao Miao suffer further; the spatial force separated the two parties and returned each to their respective Yun Tai.

"Let's go, we'll head over."

Lin Chuan and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao exchanged a glance and immediately requested to visit the Yun Tai where Qingqiu resides.

In an instant, the spatial force enveloped the two.

When they reappeared, they had arrived atop another Yun Tai.

In their sight, a mature, alluring woman cradled the listless Bai Miao Miao, her face full of anguish, both powerless and angry.

"Daoist Friend Lin Chuan, Daoist Friend Jiao Jiao, you have arrived,"

Qingqiu Emperor Lord Bai Zhou had long anticipated their arrival and sighed:

"When I sensed the situation was unfavorable, I chose to concede immediately, but Nangong Ya's attack was too fierce, and Miao Miao was very weak at the time, utterly unable to defend herself."

"Her soul inevitably suffered damage."

"Nevertheless, Miao Miao managed to fight Nangong Ya to this point, forcing the opponent to use stronger tactics, which exceeded my expectations."

"Thank you both."

Bai Miao Miao's combat power can surge in a short time; Bai Zhou, this Qingqiu Emperor Lord, provided only secondary guidance, the main source being the inheritance from the founding ancestors.

"Emperor Lord, may we see Miao Miao's injuries?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Very well."

Bai Zhou nodded, looking at the mature, alluring woman holding Bai Miao Miao, and said, "Lingyuan, hand Miao Miao over to the two Daoist Friends."

"I entrust it to you, Daoist Friends."

Bai Lingyuan placed the unconscious Bai Miao Miao onto the bed.

Lin Chuan and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao approached the bedside, placed their hands on the girl's wrist, then instantly exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

Clearly they did not sense any Black Mist.

"I'll try, to see if I can restore her soul."

Lin Chuan once again activated the power of the Burial Spirit Domain, enveloping Bai Miao Miao.

The girl's soul state quickly manifested within his perception.

"The damage incurred is more severe than I imagined."

"It must be that a sacrificial forbidden technique was used, and combined with Nangong Ya's heavy strike, causing a complete slumber."

"With my current means, it is hard to heal her."

Lin Chuan considered his application of the soul path comparable to that of his peers, sufficient to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Legendary Realm.

Even so, Bai Miao Miao's injuries still seemed troublesome to him.

"First, let her regain consciousness, then combine the heavenly treasures of the Qingqiu Fox Clan to protect her soul, at least preventing further deterioration."

"When I become stronger, I will be able to heal her."

Lin Chuan made up his mind.

Behind him, a phantom shadow materialized, forming countless threads that linked to various parts of Bai Miao Miao's body.

"Burial Spirit Domain, Soul Dance."

When he first treated Yun Lian, Lin Chuan used the same technique.

But the injuries Bai Miao Miao sustained are far more severe than Yun Lian's.

After a long while, sweat beads seeped from Lin Chuan's forehead, his back became drenched, and his spirit was stretched to the limit.

Only when Bai Miao Miao showed signs of movement could he relax.

"Huh!"

The Burial Spirit Domain dissipated, and Lin Chuan let out a long sigh.

Bai Miao Miao, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.

"Miao Miao is awake."

Bai Lingyuan's eyes were bloodshot.

She fully understood how severe Bai Miao Miao's injuries were; she was at a loss, never expecting Lin Chuan to be so capable, reviving Miao Miao in such a short time.

As long as she awakens and regains consciousness, with Qingqiu's foundation, she can surely heal Miao Miao gradually, so there is no need for excessive worry.

"I... what am I..."

Bai Miao Miao's face showed a painful expression as she clutched her head, "Head... my head hurts terribly."

"Eh?"

"Lin Chuan, why are you here?"

Only later did she realize Lin Chuan and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao were sitting at the bedside, and asked, "Who is this?"

Bai Zhou smiled and introduced, "This one comes from the Tushan lineage, and is Lin Chuan's Dao Companion."

Bai Miao Miao was startled, staring blankly at Tu Shan Jiao Jiao, "It... seems so."

"Seems what?"

Bai Lingyuan asked.

"It seems like that mysterious senior I saw in the inheritance."

The reason Bai Miao Miao could transform is because she is extremely attuned to that sect's inheritance, so her impression is very deep.

This fox woman from Tushan is too much like the shadow of that mysterious senior in the inheritance's will.

Even though she has never seen the mysterious senior's true form, she still has a strong feeling.

"You may consider me as a direct‑descendant junior of that senior."

Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled gently, "Miao Miao, can you tell us what happened in the battle with Nan Gong Ya?"

"What… happened?"

Bai Miao Miao's face again showed a painful expression, "Let me think."

Standing aside, the silent Qingqiu Emperor Lord Bai Zhou gave Tu Shan Jiao Jiao a meaningful glance, as if pondering something.

After a long while, Bai Miao Miao finally recalled something.

She said tremblingly:

"I don't know why, but during the duel with Nan Gong Ya, I had a strong urge in my heart to defeat her, to despise her, to be filled with hatred toward her."

"Clearly I have rarely dealt with Nan Gong Ya, and there is no enmity between Qingqiu and the Azure Abyss, yet I still have that strong feeling."

"That feeling seems to come from the will of the inheritance."

"It feels as if we are natural enemies; either I die or she perishes, with no reason to explain."

"……"

Bai Miao Miao described many things.

It may seem vague, but in Lin Chuan and Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's hearts, it already stirred a storm.

These words fully prove that Nan Gong Ya absolutely hides the power of Black Mist within her.

Otherwise the inheritance will of the Fox Clan Empress Jiao would not manifest.

"I thought I had won."

Bai Miao Miao forced a bitter smile, "I have already exhausted all my abilities, but I didn't expect Nan Gong Ya still hides tactics that I cannot see through at all."

She paused there, a flash of fear passing through her eyes.

"In the final duel with her, I saw a pair of eyes completely soaked in Darkness, which made my hair stand on end."

"Then, I don't know what happened, but she grabbed my throat, and my Physical Body and Tribe of the Spirits were both sealed."

"If it weren't for the Emperor Lord's timely rescue, I would have……"

Bai Miao Miao looked despondently.

She forced Nan Gong Ya to use a stronger method, but she didn't grasp the path and was defeated, unable to help Lin Chuan at all.

"In short, when you face Nan Gong Ya again, Lin Chuan, you must be careful and watch out for her bizarre moves."

"I will."

Lin Chuan nodded and asked again:

"Miao Miao, could you elaborate, when facing those Dark eyes, what more specific feelings did you have?"
