Chapter 61: Are You Jun Tianling? Then Who Exactly Is Si Yuyan!?

"Fine." Jiang Xun did not stand on ceremony: "I will definitely trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all." Hua Bairui unconsciously revealed a smile: "Senior is truly amazing. Those who cannot break through the Heavenly Tribulation basically end up dead and dissipated, yet Senior survived."

"I heard that those who survive the Heavenly Tribulation are unable to continue cultivating. I didn't expect that in less than a month, Senior would return to the Nascent Soul stage and even learn the cultivation technique of the Demon Venerable Jun Tianling. At this rate, I suppose it won't be long before I can see Senior looking dashing again, right?"

"Didn't I say not to call me Senior? It makes things seem so distant," Jiang Xun laughed.

"... Seeing you so powerful, I just called you Senior without thinking." Hua Bairui scratched her cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"We are going to attack the Baihua Sect in two days."

Jiang Xun said suddenly.

In truth, he had been debating whether or not to tell Hua Bairui these past few days.

After thinking it over, he decided it was better to say something.

"Mm."

Hua Bairui was not surprised and nodded.

"You aren't surprised?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xun could not help but ask.

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Hua Bairui nodded: "With you there, the Baihua Sect will lose."

"That's not necessarily certain," Jiang Xun laughed.

"Jiang Xun... when the time comes, could you..."

"I know." Jiang Xun interrupted Hua Bairui and nodded: "If we can avoid fighting, we will try our best to avoid it. We are aiming for a merger, not slaughter, and we won't be ruthless toward Ning Yu."

"You must also watch your safety. I feel that given Master's temperament, she might just fight you to the bitter end."

Hua Bairui felt somewhat helpless when saying this.

After all, she was quite similar to her Master. If they were truly forced into a corner by the Purgatory Fire Bead, if she were the Sect Master, she would definitely fight to the bitter end.

But...

If the person with that Purgatory Fire Bead were Jiang Xun...

She did not know if she would still fight to the bitter end.

After all, the first step of fighting to the bitter end would certainly be to spare no cost to seize the Purgatory Fire Bead.

"Then I'm heading back."

Hua Bairui pointed toward her small cabin.

"Not staying to have a cup of tea?"

Jiang Xun laughed.

"No, no, I'm planning to take a bath tonight."

Hua Bairui waved her hands, then turned and left.

Ah, why did I tell him I was taking a bath...

He won't think I'm implying something, will he!

No, no, he is the person Master likes!

Eh?

Why do I care about that?

Could it be...

Surely not.

Hua Bairui's heart was a tangled mess.

"Useless."

After Hua Bairui left, Jun Tianling scolded.

Her scolding Jiang Xun was naturally not because she felt Jiang Xun failed to seize the opportunity.

It was because three hours had passed, and this fellow had stubbornly failed to even manifest wings.

"It's almost there, stop scolding."

Jiang Xun said helplessly.

This was just too difficult!

"Hmph."

Jun Tianling let out a cold snort.

She was now parched and truly lacked the strength to keep scolding.

Of all things, she shouldn't have agreed to teach him the technique!

Jiang Xun also knew he was in the wrong and did not dwell on the matter with Jun Tianling.

He got up, returned to his room, tidied up, and prepared to sleep.

"Tianling... Tianling... are you alright?"

Upon entering a dream, Jiang Xun felt a woman's voice with a sobbing tone beside his ear; he furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.

Before him was a woman in green, looking at Jiang Xun with a face full of worry.

This time, Jiang Xun's vision was very clear, and the woman was very close.

Jiang Xun saw it clearly!

This woman was Jun Tianling!

No...

It should be said that she was Si Yuyan!

Her pupils were not like the ones Jiang Xun had seen, one black and one blue.

Both pupils were of a normal color.

"Tianling, you're awake, that's great, I thought you were dead!"

Si Yuyan looked at Jiang Xun, bean-sized teardrops rolling down from her pupils, looking pitiful enough to stir one's heart.

Jiang Xun had never seen this expression on the face of the Si Yuyan inside the Liu Hong Sword.

The Si Yuyan before him was purer compared to the Si Yuyan in the Liu Hong Sword, lacking that violent aura.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Seeing Jiang Xun not speaking for a long time, Si Yuyan asked suspiciously: "Did you injure your head?"

'Has the dream been this long this time?'

Jiang Xun thought to himself, simultaneously attempting to sit up, but felt a tearing pain all over his body.

Looking down, there was a hideous wound on his chest, as if slashed by a sword.

"Ugh..."

Jiang Xun instinctively let out a pained groan, reaching out to cover his chest.

Hm?

What are these two lumps?

So soft...

With one hand, Jiang Xun discovered that this was a woman's body.

'Is this dream this realistic??'

"Hurry and use a medicinal pill, I can't open your storage ring, stop moving around."

Not waiting for Jiang Xun to think too much, Si Yuyan looked at Jiang Xun with a worried face and shouted.

"Ugh... mm..."

Jiang Xun nodded, trying to open the storage ring in his hand.

Only then did he discover that this ring was the same as the Jun Tianling storage ring he was currently wearing.

Without any obstruction, he saw the items inside the ring and took out a Great Restoration Pill to swallow.

Afterwards, he circulated his energy to begin recovering from his injuries.

Once he circulated his energy, Jiang Xun was given a huge fright!

This body was actually at Integration Great Perfection!

Just one step away from becoming a Great Vehicle Realm Saint.

'Who are you?'

Just as Jiang Xun had swallowed the Great Restoration Pill and recovered for a moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from his mind.

In an instant, Jiang Xun was dragged into a Consciousness Sea.

The woman before him had brows like sword cuts, eyes like cold stars, a face like fine jade, and skin like congealed fat.

She wore a black tight-fitting outfit that outlined a slender and upright figure, fully displaying capability and heroic spirit.

She wore a black cloak with a hood.

Her ponytail was tied high.

If not for the peaks rising on her chest, Jiang Xun would have thought she was a man just by looking at this face.

It wasn't that she looked very masculine, but rather that she was the very heroic type, and paired with this outfit, it made people feel like she was a man.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xun frowned and asked, looking at the woman before him.

Damn it, can you even enter a Consciousness Sea in a dream?

"Jun Tianling."

The woman spoke in a cold voice.

Hearing this name, Jiang Xun got goosebumps all over.

You are Jun Tianling!?

Is Jun Tianling actually a woman?

Jiang Xun hadn't even figured out what was going on with that Si Yuyan in the Liu Hong Sword; she was clearly called Si Yuyan, yet claimed to be Jun Tianling.

Now the real Jun Tianling had appeared before him?

"Speak, who are you, and why are you occupying my body."

A long sword slowly slid out from Jun Tianling's sleeve.

Jiang Xun recognized it at a glance; it was Soul-Suppressor.

"How would I know? I was sleeping at home, and the moment I opened my eyes, I appeared here."

Jiang Xun felt the oppressive force of this person's Integration Great Perfection and couldn't help but feel terrified.

He had never seen such a powerful person before.

A Venerable!

Beyond reach!

Hearing this, Jun Tianling's delicate brows furrowed tightly, and killing intent leaked from her eyes.

Her toes turned slightly toward Jiang Xun's direction.

Jiang Xun knew this was the starting stance for a sword technique; she was preparing to dash over and finish him off!

"I...!!"

Jiang Xun had just prepared to speak, but in the blink of an eye—truly just the moment his eyelids closed—he felt his head and body separate!

For a moment, the world spun, and Jiang Xun's head hit the ground, seeing his own tense body.
