Chapter 829: It's Not That Simple!

Jiuyou was stunned, her expression shifting for a moment.

What Wan Guiyuan said was indeed the truth.

Before this, he had truly never made any requests of her.

As for that method to remove the Asura Power, at first listen, it seemed like the other party wanted to take advantage of her.

But in fact, with the Blood Asura Mask on her face, the other party could not see her appearance at all.

With Wan Guiyuan's status and strength, he could have as many ordinary female cultivators as he wanted.

There was no need for such scheming.

"Sigh, forget it."

Just then, Wang Jianqiang sighed and continued, "Originally, Wan was only acting out of kindness, not seeking any reward. Whether Fairy agrees or not makes no difference to Wan, but who told Wan that I admire you, Fairy."

"Since Fairy is so guarded against Wan, then Wan will give you peace of mind."

"Wan swears upon my cultivation path that what I said before is not half-false. If Wan has any improper thoughts toward Fairy Jiuyou, then let my inner demon tribulation surely appear when I face the Nascent Soul Tribulation!"

Originally, Jiuyou had already believed him for the most part, and upon seeing Wan Guiyuan so decisively swear an inner demon oath, her heart was immediately free of any doubt.

At the same time, when she looked at Wan Guiyuan, her gaze was filled with admiration.

This Wan Guiyuan had actually gone to such lengths for someone with no connection to him, simply because he admired her.

He was truly a person of character and integrity.

Such a person was worthy of respect.

And she had actually been doubting him before; it was truly uncalled for.

Thinking of this.

A flash of apology crossed her face, "Fellow Daoist Wan, it was Jiuyou who was small-minded before; I hope Fellow Daoist will not take offense."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "I won't hide it from you, Fairy; if someone else had insulted Wan like this, Wan certainly would not have let it go easily."

"But Fairy is different."

A flash of awkwardness crossed Jiuyou's eyes, and she subconsciously avoided Wang Jianqiang's gaze, saying softly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your generous treatment."

Wang Jianqiang waved his hand magnanimously, "It is nothing, Fairy, please remove your mask first."

Jiuyou's expression stiffened, "I have to take off the mask?"

Wang Jianqiang said solemnly, "Of course, the Blood Asura Mask is the source of the Blood Asura Power within your body. If you wear this mask while removing the Blood Asura Power, it is hard to guarantee that it won't trigger an accident."

"For the sake of safety, it must naturally be removed."

A flash of hesitation crossed Jiuyou's eyes.

The person who made her wear the Blood Asura Mask had once ordered her to keep it on at all times and not to remove it.

But...

This place, after all, did not belong to that person's territory; if she removed it temporarily, that person would not be able to sense it.

Furthermore.

The reason that person made her wear the Blood Asura Mask was originally to scheme against her.

If she wanted to survive, she would eventually have to resist the other party.

Previously, her secret search for a way to remove the Asura Power could be considered a form of resistance, but it was only the beginning of resistance, only the preparatory stage; she had not yet taken the first step.

Now.

Defying the other party's order and temporarily removing the Blood Asura Mask could be considered truly taking the first step of resistance.

Thinking of this.

A flash of determination immediately crossed her eyes, and she nodded, "Alright."

Having said that.

Her pair of small, slender palms overlapped, and her hand seals changed dozens of times in an instant.

The Blood Asura Mask flashed with light, detached from her face, and landed slowly by her feet.

With the detachment of the Blood Asura Mask, a stunningly beautiful face that revealed a touch of demonic allure amidst its coldness appeared in Wang Jianqiang's line of sight.

Wang Jianqiang marveled inwardly, "Wan's premonition was not wrong; Fairy is indeed very compatible with Wan."

Jiuyou was stunned, "How so?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and did not explain, "Fairy, let us begin."

On that face of Jiuyou's that revealed cold ruthlessness, a shyness that was out of place flashed across, and then, this shyness vanished.

She nodded gently.

"I have troubled you, Daoist Friend Wan."

"You are too polite, Fairy."

(One hundred thousand words omitted here.)

Five days later.

Jiuyou sat cross-legged, and after opening her eyes, a figure came into view.

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang, a flash of complexity crossed her pupils, which were a faint blood color.

She had not expected that Wan Guiyuan's so-called removal method was actually purification!

The Asura Power was filled with irritability and Slaughter Power.

Just half a day ago, she had received the Purification Power sent by Wan Guiyuan.

This Purification Power was astonishingly powerful; it had actually forcibly purified the negative emotions contained within the Asura Power and refined them into pure energy.

Not only did it help her solve the trouble of the Asura Power, but the purified Asura Power had also completely integrated into her body, becoming a part of her own strength.

It caused her body to undergo a strange transformation.

Besides this.

Even her foundation seemed to have become a bit purer!

The only drawback is.

The cycle for the Purification Power to regenerate is somewhat long, and the amount of Purification Power is too small; both the amount of Blood Asura Power being purified and the progress of her foundation's purification are extremely limited.

But if the quantity is insufficient, it can be made up for with frequency.

If Wan Guiyuan could cast this Purification Power infinitely, the Blood Asura Power within her body would surely be completely cleared, and she would no longer need to worry about the invasion of Blood Asura Power when using the Blood Asura Mask in the future.

Even her foundation could undergo a transformation, making her cultivation aptitude even more powerful!

"How do you feel?"

Noticing Jiuyou's gaze, Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Jiuyou nodded, "Very good."

As she spoke, her red lips curved slightly, as if she were smiling.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang laughed, "Does Fairy mean the removal process, or the removal result?"

On Jiuyou's cold and heartless face, her expression stiffened.

Visibly, a blush appeared.

But in the blink of an eye, this blush disappeared again, and she shook her head, "Does the power that Daoist Friend used before have any restrictions?"

After speaking, she looked at Wang Jianqiang with burning eyes.

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Seeing this, Jiuyou immediately revealed a look of disappointment; it seemed she had thought of it too simply.

But then again.

How could such a miraculous power be cast without a price?

Noticing the change in Jiuyou's expression, Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Fairy need not worry too much; although this Purification Power of mine requires a certain price to be paid when cast, this price is not unbearable. If Fairy needs it, I will not refuse."

Jiuyou was startled, "Why?"

"You and I were originally strangers, and the Youyun Holy Land even has a grudge against you; why would you help me like this?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled slightly, "I have already stated the reason; I admire Fairy very much."

After pondering for a moment, a flash of unnaturalness crossed Jiuyou's face.

Originally, she thought the admiration in Wan Guiyuan's words was purely just admiration.

But thinking about it now, this admiration is likely not as simple as she first thought!
