Chapter 46: Approaching the Spirit Clan, Lin Chuan's Plan

Mo Sangyu ultimately could not accept spending a lifetime with a "strange" Lin Chuan.

When her words fell, she had already disappeared.

Yun Zhi Yi only just managed to catch up, seeing Mo Sangyu in a blue dress, she only felt unfamiliar; the same person, but her demeanor was completely different,

But the anger in her heart remained hard to suppress.

"Witch! You've broken the rules!"

"I know," Mo Sangyu nodded, "may I say a few words?"

"What else do you want to say?!" Yun Zhi Yi said coldly.

"We met our husband in different spacetimes; the fault lies with no one, it is heaven's design, this matter cannot be blamed on the husband."

Mo Sangyu whispered: "No matter whom the husband thinks of first, when he thinks of the second person, he will surely be in pain."

"This pain should not be borne by the husband."

"I know you have many things you want to confide to the husband, but for the husband, he has already endured enough today; you should not provoke him further."

"Choose another day to go, I will not stop you."

"You may use a secret method to link your hearts with his sword; I will not stop you."

"If one day the husband thinks of me first, I will give you a chance."

"Just like that."

Having said that, Mo Sangyu escaped into space and left.

"It seems the Ferocious Witch's body hides a great secret—could it be a soul split?"

Yun Zhi Yi fell into thought.

The Witch's personality is simply at two extremes.

In her red-clad state, the Witch is an outright madwoman, utterly incapable of communication; in her blue-clad state, she is rather gentle.

After repeated consideration, Yun Zhi Yi did not go look for Lin Chuan again.

As the Witch said, going to find A Chuan now would bring no benefit, only drive the A Chuan who has lost his past-life memories mad.

…

Time flashed by.

Seven days later.

Lin Chuan and Lin Yangyang received a secret order from the Demon Slaying Office.

The operation to capture the Spirit Clan will be launched at midnight tonight.

During these seven days, Lin Chuan often practiced the sword, becoming much more accustomed to the Yun Xin Shen Sword; his swordsmanship became far beyond what it previously was.

What pleased Lin Chuan most was the reconciliation of the two ladies—Mo Sangyu and Yun Zhi Yi.

The two ladies seemed to have reached some secret agreement again, allowing him to live a peaceful life.

There are still many mysteries for Lin Chuan to uncover; now is far from the time to reunite with the two ladies.

The simplest problem is that he cannot figure out which of the two he met first.

Moreover, there is also the troublesome Tu Shan Jiao Jiao to deal with.

Lin Chuan made a bold assumption.

Assuming that he in the dream-reincarnation is truly himself, then all those events could not have occurred on the same timeline.

Perhaps he has already undergone countless reincarnations.

So-called dream-reincarnation system merely projects the events that happen in reincarnation onto his dreams in this life.

Even transmigration and systems have appeared; nothing is impossible.

Lin Chuan can accept a wide range of settings.

Furthermore, the system might possibly have the ability to forcibly alter world spacetime.

Before clarifying matters, how could Lin Chuan proceed to recognize?

In the short term, he has no plan to reopen the dream; he must make thorough preparations first.

In their thoughts, the siblings had already arrived at the meeting point with the Demon Slaying Envoys Pei Yin Yi and Yu Hui Lan.

Pei Yin Yi pointed to a not‑far manor,

"The targets Yu Xiao Rao and Cui Shuangsheng are there; they pose as a married couple, doing business in the city, and in daily life they are indistinguishable from ordinary humans."

"Inside the manor there are sixteen servants, all mortals."

"During the operation, be sure to focus on capturing the Spirit Clan; those servants live or die by fate—when it's time to be ruthless, do not hesitate."

"If the chance is lost, only more people will be killed by the Spirit Clan's troublemakers."

The two Demon Slaying Envoys gave their instructions.

Lin Chuan and Lin Yangyang nodded; they naturally understood the priorities.

"Let's go."

The four quickly approached the manor.

Just as they neared the manor, the outer wall exploded with a boom, a huge wolf claw swept out from within, as if to tear the four apart.

"Why! Why are you forcing us?! We just want a normal life!"

Cui Shuangsheng transformed into a giant wolf, letting out fierce roars.

"Don't waste words with the Spirit Clan—attack!"

Pei Yin Yi swiftly drew his saber and went forward to meet them; Lin Yangyang held her sword beside, ready to strike at an opportunity.

Yu Hui Lan and Lin Chuan pursued the swiftly fleeing Yu Xiao Rao from the other end.

The two Spirit Clan members were clearly prepared, having sensed the danger.

Fortunately, the two Spirit Clan members did not wish to slaughter ordinary people; otherwise, fleeing around Juncheng would have caused who knows how many mortals to suffer.

Yu Hui Lan was very fast; while giving chase, she constantly flung hidden weapons, forcing Yu Xiao Rao's position and greatly reducing her speed.

Lin Chuan was one realm lower, but his speed was not much slower than Yu Hui Lan's, and he followed closely behind.

This was the advantage brought by a higher-level cultivation technique.

During the chase, the distance kept closing; Yu Hui Lan suddenly surged in speed, flashed to block Yu Xiao Rao's front, and intercepted her.

"I haven't hurt anyone, so why are you relentlessly pursuing me?"

Yu Xiao Rao stopped fleeing, stood in place, and showed no panic on her face.

Yu Hui Lan said coldly: "Your Spirit Clan bewitches people's hearts, incites demons to cause chaos—this is your crime; as a member of the Spirit Clan, you cannot escape responsibility!"

Yu Xiao Rao laughed: "We Spirit Clan only spoke a few words, letting humans and demons follow their nature—how is that bewitching?"

"What is the human heart like? And what is demon nature? Don't you understand?"

"They are bound by all kinds of rules, their hands and feet shackled by power and influence; the Spirit Clan merely unlocked the mental shackles for them."

Yu Xiao Rao spoke her reasoning in a quiet, lingering tone.

Lin Chuan frowned and shouted: "Elder Sister Yu, stop wasting words with her—attack!"

Yu Hui Lan startled: "Well done, you Nine-Tailed Fox, you almost got me with your Dao!"

Whoosh!

As a demon-slaying envoy, her mission is to eliminate demonic chaos, not to reason with troublemakers.

"Young master, interrupting someone's speech is quite impolite."

Yu Xiao Rao's gaze turned toward Lin Chuan.

Yu Hui Lan's expression changed, and she warned: "Be careful, don't make eye contact with her."

But Lin Chuan's gaze had already met Yu Xiao Rao's.

Yu Xiao Rao's pupils shifted like twin ghost flames burning, tugging at Lin Chuan's soul.

But the next moment, she was as if struck by lightning.

She saw a pure-white-haired Nine-Tailed Fox residing on Lin Chuan's sea of consciousness.

After merely a single glance, Yu Xiao Rao completely succumbed and could no longer control herself.

"Go outside the city."

Lin Chuan's voice exploded in Yu Xiao Rao's heart.

Yu Xiao Rao was shocked, she ran straight out of the city; her mind filled with countless doubts, yet her steps dared not pause for even a moment.

Yu Hui Lan gave chase again.

The three arrived one after another in the wilderness outside the city, and Yu Xiao Rao stopped once more.

Yu Hui Lan frowned tightly, feeling an ominous premonition; Yu Xiao Rao seemed to have undergone some change, but she could not discern what.

She didn't notice at all that the closely following Lin Chuan's eyes had also changed, and a spiritual ripple instantly spread outward.

Yu Hui Lan's vision darkened, she lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground.

Yu Xiao Rao, meanwhile, fell to her knees with a thud, looking in terror at the slowly approaching Lin Chuan.

"Who... who are you?"
