Chapter 757: Chi Wu

Let me take a look at my aunt.

Ye Qingran could tell at a glance that Yun Lan had indeed lost her soul. Not only was her own soul gone, but the witch's soul had also disappeared.

That woman left my aunt's body, and at the same time took my aunt's soul with her!

Ye Qingran said in a low voice.

Zhongyue, quickly send someone to look for her!

Yun Batian's eyes showed anxiety.

It's too late. Ye Qingran shook her head.

What does that mean?

Ye Qingran furrowed her brows, "She has already left the Yun Tribe!"

Xiao Ran'er, how do you know? Isn't her Mysterious Force sealed?

Yes. I did indeed seal her Mysterious Force and also placed a gu on her, the purpose being to monitor her; once she leaves the Yun Tribe, I will sense it.

I see." Yun Zhongyue nodded, "But how can she survive after leaving Lan'er's body?"

Ye Qingran countered, "What if she just changed bodies?"

Since that woman can enter Yun Lan's body to control her, she naturally also has the ability to change bodies.

Have someone check who left Neicheng today!

Soon someone came to report, listing some names, among them Yun Ba Hai!

Upon hearing that name, everyone was stunned and realized that the woman had likely taken over Yun Ba Hai's body as a new host.

Even though my great-uncle is a Human Emperor, how could she do that?" Yun Zhongyue felt puzzled.

That woman had her Mysterious Force sealed; logically, she couldn't pose a threat to Yun Ba Hai.

Third uncle, we can't judge her by ordinary standards; she very likely isn't a person of the Xuanmiao Continent!

Not a person of the Xuanmiao Continent?

Yun Zhongyue had actually sensed this woman's mystery on the day of the Clan Leader Succession Ceremony, but she hadn't dared to think deeper.

After all, the world beyond the Xuanmiao Continent is too distant for them.

For example, the Xuyu.

Hahaha, Ye Qingran, I didn't expect you to be smarter than I imagined.

The tightly bound Qin Zheng suddenly spasmed all over; when it stopped, she lowered her head and gave a hollow, evil laugh.

Is it you?

Ye Qingran's gaze shifted, shooting toward Qin Zheng.

Not bad, it's me. I forgot to tell you, my name is Chi Wu; remember it, for I will personally end your life!

Is that so?

Ye Qingran gave a cold smile, "What about my aunt?"

Of course she's turned to ashes. Since I no longer need her body, why would I keep her soul?

My aunt's life token is still here. That means her soul is still present. I guess you can't be separated from her soul; if her soul runs into trouble, you'll suffer the same fate, right?

Chi Wu remained silent; a flicker passed through Ye Qingran's eyes, she knew she had guessed correctly.

I kept her soul merely to threaten you later.

Say what you will." Ye Qingran anyway already had an answer.

I have a question; I'm curious, when did you realize I placed a gu on you?

I knew it right away. With your little skill, you can handle these Xuanmiao trash, but against me, you're overreaching!

The other party showed utter contempt.

Ye Qingran lightly nodded, not taking it to heart.

After all, she had always believed her medical skills still had much room for improvement.

Chi Wu was merely giving her a lesson.

Chi Wu, right? If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Xuyu, aren't you?

The other party stared, evidently not expecting Ye Qingran to say that, then she sneered, "Ye Qingran, you are indeed clever. But sometimes cleverness backfires."

Please tell me more.

I can leave the Yun Tribe thanks to you." The woman laughed charmingly.

If it weren't for you summoning those two ancient divine beasts bathed in Divine Flower, letting me absorb the Divine Flower, I wouldn't be able to use my signature abilities. I have to say, Ye Qingran, for this matter I truly want to thank you properly!

Ye Qingran clenched the hand in her sleeve; she hadn't expected that using the summoning technique would bring such consequences.

Granddaughter, don't listen to her; this has nothing to do with you!" Yun Batian reminded.

Exactly. You didn't do it on purpose. Besides, whether her escape from the Yun Tribe is related to the Divine Flower remains unknown.

Chi Wu listened, gave a low laugh, and didn't bother to argue, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. However, Ye Qingran, thank you for letting me feel the long-missed Divine Flower; when I someday ascend back to the Xuyu, I will surely thank you."

How about I send you a feast for slaughtering the tribe instead?

Chi Wu said it in the most casual tone, speaking the bloodiest words.

Wait until you have your own body, then you won't need to borrow others' bodies to say that!

Chi Wu detected the sarcasm in Ye Qingran's words, her tone sinking, "After all, what's so hard about a mere mortal body for me?"

Ye Qingran, I won't let you off, hahaha~

As the words fell, Qin Zheng spasmed again, her eyes rolled up, and she promptly fainted to the ground, though her face gradually returned to normal.

The few people in the room looked at Qin Zheng on the floor, and for a moment all were silent.

Chi Wu this woman's escape from the Yun Tribe was unexpected by everyone present.

Chi Wu, this woman's escape from the Yun Tribe, was something no one present had anticipated.

Qin Zheng's move here is Chi Wu's satire of Ye Qingran and the entire Yun Tribe.

"Granddaughter..." Yun Batian looked at Ye Qingran with a worried expression, fearing she would overthink.

"I'm fine. The urgent matter is my little aunt."

Yun Lan's soul was stripped by Chi Wu; within six double‑hours, if it cannot return, the body will become useless.

"Yes! Quickly check your little aunt—does any method exist to save her?"

Soul stripping is not something Ye Qingran hasn't encountered, but it is rare.

"I have a Twelve‑turn Reviving Pill here that can extend her life by six months."

"Good!" Yun Batian's eyes brightened for a moment, then dimmed again.

Six months...

What about after six months?

Chi Wu is already cunning, and with Yun Ba Hai the Human Emperor's cultivation, finding her is like searching for a needle in the ocean!

If Yun Lan's soul cannot return after six months, everything will ultimately be in vain.

"Grandfather, don't worry. This matter started because of me; I promise you, within six months I will find a way to save my little aunt!"

Ye Qingran patted Yun Batian's shoulder and pledged.

"Granddaughter, you have this intention, which I find comforting, but don't let this matter weigh on you."

"I understand."

Ye Qingran tugged at the corner of her lips, trying to appear more relaxed.

"Also, now that Chi Wu has left the Yun Tribe, the outside is dangerous; why not skip this Soul‑Cutting Sea this time?"

"No way." Ye Qingran replied sternly. "I must go."

This is not only a promise, but also an attitude.

If she, because of Chi Wu, does not dare to leave the Yun Tribe, then if Chi Wu never gets caught for a day, wouldn't she have to hide in the Yun Tribe for a lifetime?

"If you insist on going, let Zhong Ge and Yun Zhongyue accompany you."

"That suggestion works," Yun Zhongyue said supportively.

Ye Qingran thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed, "If second uncle has no objection, I have no problem."

"He certainly has no objection!"

"If he does have an objection, I'll break his leg!"

Yun Batian deliberately made a ferocious expression; Ye Qingran knew he was teasing her and cooperatively gave a faint smile.

Although the Soul‑Cutting Sea is said to be located in Yunfu, that is not actually the case.

The Soul‑Cutting Sea lies at the junction of the ThreeGreatHiddenEthnicities, though half of it lies within Yunfu's territory.
