Chapter 1170: Seeing Liu Lianxin Again

~7 min read 1,320 words

"You recognize her?" Seeing Chen Yu's expression, Sanwei couldn't help but be slightly stunned; this expression seemed as if he were seeing an old friend.

"I recognize her. She has come," Chen Yu murmured.

Sanwei was puzzled, not understanding what Chen Yu meant by saying she had come.

Dali was met when Chen Yu and Liu Lianxin first officially met; at that time, Dali's wild nature was too strong, but later it was refined and enlightened by Liu Lianxin, so it had followed Liu Lianxin ever since.

Now that Dali was here, Liu Lianxin must be in the vicinity. Ever since she was taken away by her master last time, Chen Yu had not seen her again.

Dali seemed to be waiting for Chen Yu. Seeing Chen Yu, Dali meowed at him a few times, then walked to Chen Yu's side, straightening its body to rub against Chen Yu's legs.

This little thing recognized Chen Yu; it certainly remembered the time it was chased and beaten by Chen Yu.

It was precisely because its murderous nature was too heavy that Liu Lianxin broke half of its cultivation realm and destroyed its hundred years of bitter practice, forcing it to cultivate anew to grind away its murderous nature.

Now it stayed by Liu Lianxin's side, listening to her chant scriptures, and the murderous nature on its body had indeed been worn away quite a bit.

"Where is your master?" Chen Yu squatted down and stroked Dali's head.

Since parting at the border last time, there had been no news of Liu Lianxin for a long time. Seeing Dali in this place now, he figured Liu Lianxin could not be far away.

It was just that he didn't know what she was doing here. Could it be that she came because of Jingxi?

Thinking of this, Chen Yu's heart tightened slightly. He had to go see Liu Lianxin to see if she had any plans.

Dali meowed at Chen Yu a few times, then turned around and darted forward rapidly.

Chen Yu was slightly startled. Just as he hesitated, Sanwei called out, "What are you dazed for? Hurry and follow; it is taking you to see its master."

Sanwei was a little fox; she naturally understood the big fox's meaning. Chen Yu nodded and hurriedly followed.

Dali led Chen Yu a long way until it finally stopped at a place in the suburbs.

Now, Dali's pupils were dilated, and the fur on its body stood up one by one. It stared fixedly ahead, looking as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

Chen Yu was shocked. This behavior of Dali's was unusual; this was the behavior a feline should have when encountering danger. It seemed there was a powerful enemy ahead.

Dali bristled for a while before cautiously walking forward.

Before them was a residential house surrounded by an orchard. This place was where fruit farmers rested and guarded the orchard during the busy farming season.

But in this season, it was empty, and there was not a single person.

And Chen Yu did not sense anyone's aura from within.

Dali seemed to feel that the danger had passed, so it extended its tail and walked inside with its ears flattened.

Inside was a small courtyard. In the courtyard sat a girl in a green dress. A wooden chair was placed in front of her, and she sat upright with her eyes slightly closed, seemingly reciting the Heart Sutra silently.

The girl was beautiful and moving; she was none other than Liu Lianxin.

Seeming to sense Chen Yu's arrival, Liu Lianxin slowly opened her eyes. As their eyes met, she smiled sweetly: "You've come."

"Why are you here?" Chen Yu took a step forward.

"Don't come over," Liu Lianxin hurriedly stopped Chen Yu.

Chen Yu hurriedly stopped his steps. He saw that within a five-foot radius around Liu Lianxin, a yellow circle of light appeared from the ground.

The circle of light shimmered with a faint glow, and various seal characters floated above it.

This was the Buddhist supernatural power "Drawing Ground as a Prison."

At the same time, a black mist appeared between Liu Lianxin's feet. This black mist was like a chain, imprisoning her legs.

"You are..." Chen Yu was startled. Liu Lianxin was imprisoned; she could only stay in place and could not escape.

And with her Green Lotus Jade Bone, the only person who could use Buddhist supernatural powers to imprison her on the spot was her master, Jingxi Jushi.

"My master imprisoned me; she has gone out now," Liu Lianxin said with a faint smile. "I sensed you were nearby, so I let Dali go find you. I didn't expect you to really be here. Chen Yu, long time no see."

"Long time no see... Let me break this imprisonment first." Lichen appeared in Chen Yu's hand. He gathered his Qi, intending to cut through this Drawing Ground as a Prison.

"Don't," Liu Lianxin hurriedly stopped Chen Yu. "This is a supernatural power condensed from my master's intent; you cannot break it."

"And as long as you move even a little, she will quickly discover it from the outside. My master has already turned into a Demon; you cannot beat her in a head-on fight," Liu Lianxin said.

"I don't believe it. Can she, Jingxi, really cover the sky with one hand?" Chen Yu was furious.

"She has already turned into a Demon, severing faith to verify the Dao; her strength is very great," Liu Lianxin said. "I want to talk to you for a while; please don't alert her, okay?"

"Then I must still save you," Chen Yu said.

"Her great limit is almost here," Liu Lianxin sighed and said. "If there are no accidents, this trip to the Cloud Void Realm will be her great limit."

"Her great limit has arrived?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. "How do you know?"

"Actually, she knows it herself," Liu Lianxin sighed and said. "Wanting to resurrect the Ghost Clan is in itself going against the Heavenly Dao."

"Her master, her grandmaster, the lineage's inheritance—they are all doing this thing. So even if she knows this might be her own great limit, she will still do it at all costs."

Liu Lianxin said, "The thing that generations of a lineage have been doing might be completed in her generation, so even if she knows she is inauspicious this time, she will still do it."

"She's crazy. Her cultivation has really gone to the dogs," Chen Yu sneered. "The Ghost Clan was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao. The ancient sages managed to seal them with great virtue and ability, causing them to sleep. Now she wants to foolishly dream of resurrecting them? Do you think the Heavenly Dao will agree?"

"It's impossible to reason with her," Liu Lianxin sighed and said. "These days, I have also been trying to persuade her, but the results are unsatisfactory. She simply cannot listen to anything you say."

"Obsessed and unrepentant, she has already gone mad," Chen Yu stood dazed for a long time before sighing slightly. "For a map of the Cloud Void Realm, she has killed many people, right?"

"Yes. She kills one person and then tries to absolve herself of her crimes, but she doesn't know that the more killing karma she commits, the heavier it becomes; there is simply no chance of liberation," Liu Lianxin said.

"So this time, you want her to stay here forever?" Chen Yu looked at Liu Lianxin.

Liu Lianxin's eyes were slightly red. She nodded slowly and spat out one word: "Yes."

"She is your master, after all," Chen Yu sighed slightly.

Liu Lianxin was an adopted daughter in the Liu Family, and the Liu Family had always been at odds with her. She viewed Jingxi as her master and her kin, but this time, she was forced to take action against her own master.
