Chapter 642 The Most Reliable High-End Combat Power

Yi Riyue’s true spirit, sealed within the box, finally caught a glimpse of light.

Overjoyed, he was about to call out, “Teacher, Teacher, I have sincerely repented, please spare me…” His voice stopped abruptly as he saw the white-haired, yet still youthful-looking Nü Jiao before him. His pupils constricted.

Images of the gods descending, and Nü Jiao standing defiant in white robes, flashed through his mind.

Even though he had long been beheaded, a sense of panic and terror surged through his true spirit.

“Goddess…”

*Pa!*

Yi Riyue’s voice was cut short.

Nü Jiao slammed the box shut, directly suppressing his true spirit.

Her breathing became noticeably heavier.

After a long while, she seemed to barely regain her composure and looked at Wei Yuan:

“He, Yi Shi… Yuan, you…”

Wei Yuan said softly:

“He has abandoned the name I gave him. No, I took it back.”

“Now he is called Yi Riyue.”

“So you don’t need to consider me.”

Nü Jiao murmured, “Yi Riyue…”

She sighed and said, “So that’s it. I ‘like’ this gift very much.”

“Thank you, A-Yuan.”

The white-haired leader of the Tu Shan clan slightly rose on her toes and gently rubbed Wei Yuan's forehead. The expression in her eyes, the subtle nuances on her face, lacked the usual teasing and playful demeanor that Wei Yuan was so familiar with, the elder sister who would protect you in times of crisis.

Instead, they were filled with an indescribable complexity and sorrow.

Wei Yuan stood there quietly.

At that moment, he truly felt that even though their interactions were the same as they were five thousand years ago.

They had, after all, been separated for so long.

Nü Jiao didn’t know how many encounters and separations Wei Yuan had experienced in his five thousand years.

Wei Yuan also didn’t know how Nü Jiao, who had fought alongside him in life-and-death situations, had spent the five thousand years after losing Yu, Qi, and Yuan—he at least was constantly reincarnating, constantly forgetting, while Nü Jiao’s five thousand years were a constant accumulation of sorrow and loneliness.

Nü Jiao seemed to notice her rare lapse and withdrew her right hand, taking a half step back, and smiling, “Well, it’s rare for you to know how to give gifts. I’m very satisfied this time. Tell me, what do you want? I can promise you anything.”

Wei Yuan looked at her frankly, also concealing his true emotions.

He nodded ‘shyly’ and said:

“I do have something.”

He wouldn’t let a good opportunity go to waste.

“Hmm?!”

The fox girl’s expression froze: “You really do.”

“Alright, tell me?”

Wei Yuan nodded ‘shyly’.

Then he said, “I want to go to the forbidden area of Qingqiu Tu Shan to see where Chi You is sealed.”

The expression on Nü Jiao’s face slightly hardened.

Then she said, “That’s not possible!”

………………

Nü Jiao’s answer was swift and decisive, almost cutting off any possibility of discussion.

Wei Yuan’s mouth twitched, and he slammed the table, gritting his teeth, “A gentleman’s word is his bond!”

Nü Jiao answered matter-of-factly, “But I’m not a gentleman.”

“I’m just a little woman, and a fox spirit at that.”

“Lying is a habit of the Tu Shan clan, have you forgotten?”

Wei Yuan: “…………”

I’m so angry!

Wu Nü Jiao’s tone softened slightly, “The place where Chi You is sealed is too dangerous. Moreover, Chi You was killed and then sealed beneath Qingqiu. The Tu Shan tribe acts as the formation to barely suppress his baleful aura, but it’s only suppression.”

“Now, after such a long time.”

“Chi You must be filled with powerful resentment and baleful aura. Once a living being gets close, Chi You will definitely go mad, not recognizing anyone, and will instinctively launch an attack. You don’t think you’re stronger than Xuanyuan back then, do you?”

“Xuanyuan had to join forces with the Yan Emperor tribe and the Kunlun pantheon to defeat the Jiuli.”

Nü Jiao suspiciously sized Wei Yuan up:

“Or… do you have some trump cards?”

Cough, did she have to be so perceptive? Wei Yuan said, “I do have a little confidence.”

“I have a bit of connection with the Jiuli.”

After all, he had been ganged up on in the dream trial.

“I also have some understanding of Chi You.”

He had been killed by him dozens of times.

“So I want to give it a try.”

“Besides…” Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, “As Xi Wangmu said, Chongli and the human race, and Gonggong, all have grudges. If I’m not mistaken, since He has come to the mortal world, then He will definitely do something…”

“If it were me, I would definitely choose to open Gonggong’s seal.”

“Let Gonggong and the human race fight each other, while They watch from the sidelines.”

“What’s more, the matter of the Twelve Yuanchen appearing in the mortal world and ambushing me and Gengchen, I still haven’t been able to figure out why. In the current situation, I want to try. If I can awaken Chi You, or even just get some help from Him.”

“The situation might be very different.”

“We can also have high-end combat power comparable to or even surpassing Gonggong and Chongli. Of course, the most direct effect is that if Chi You appears, even just Chi You’s aura, the predicament I’m currently facing will be instantly resolved.”

“Faced with the possibility of Chi You’s revival, the Kunlun gods will temporarily have no time to trouble me.”

Nü Jiao was silent for a long time, and Wei Yuan looked at her calmly and frankly.

Finally, she sighed, as if she had been persuaded, and gently chopped Wei Yuan on the forehead with her hand, muttering, “Then… I’ll just have to give it a try.”

“Chi You’s sealed place is in the forbidden area of Qingqiu Kingdom, and ordinary people can’t get close to it.”

Wei Yuan thoughtfully said, “Doesn’t that mean only Nü Jiao can enter?”

“That’s safe.”

“Only me? No…”

The white-haired fox girl looked at the Kunlun Mountain God in front of her and smiled:

“You are also qualified.”

“Hmm?”

“Didn’t I say? Tu Shanyuan, your authority in Qingqiu Kingdom is only below mine.”

Wei Yuan was stunned.

Nü Jiao pinched her brow and thought for a while:

“After all, I secretly wrote your name into the clan records, and even had a fight with Grandpa and them. Of course, the authority wasn’t high at that time, but now time has passed, and the Tu Shan clan members of our generation and the older generation have all withered and died.”

“In that case, your seniority in Qingqiu Kingdom is only below mine now.”

“Of course, if you are willing to marry Su Yu’er and Hu Mei, then…”

“It wouldn’t be impossible for the Qingqiu Kingdom Lord to give them away as dowry.”

Nü Jiao smiled brightly.

Wei Yuan answered swiftly and decisively:

“No need! You’re too kind! Not interested!”

“Also… Nü Jiao, can you turn off the recording pen in your hand?”

The white-haired fox girl clicked her tongue: “Tsk.”

“You’ve become smarter.”

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and said with a smile, “Same to you.”

“Besides, I deeply suspect that the purpose of introducing those three fox clans to me at the time was to throw Qingqiu Kingdom to me and run away to slack off yourself.”

The white-haired beauty’s gaze shifted to the lower left, and then she pursed her lips and smiled:

“Well…”

“Of course… not.”

“Ahem, let’s not talk about this. After you finish the things at hand, come to Qingqiu Kingdom, and I’ll take you to the forbidden area.”

Wei Yuan nodded.

He stood up, but Wu Nü Jiao reached out and pressed on his shoulder, pressing him back down:

“Besides, there is one more thing.”

Nü Jiao said, “I will also go with you at that time. Although only one person is allowed to enter the seal, I can wait in a part of the area outside. After all, Chi You has been sealed for such a long time. Even if his own consciousness is strong, even if he dies, his body will not become a zombie.”

“We must also guard against his body attacking you out of instinctive anger and killing intent.”

Nü Jiao shook her hand slightly, and the Shennong Whip on her wrist lit up.

“I will guard outside to guard against accidents.”

“With the Shennong Whip, there shouldn’t be too many problems, but you only have one chance.”

“I will not allow you to take a second risk. If you fail, go back obediently.”

Wei Yuan nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, he was also a little scared of going to find Chi You, but now that Nü Jiao’s Shennong Whip was there, he had a guarantee. Wei Yuan had seen the power of this magical weapon, as long as he was not beaten into Wei Yuan paste by Chi You, the Shennong Whip could pull him back.

Of course, if it was the genuine Shennong Clan, that is, Uncle Jiang, who made a move.

Even if he was beaten into a pile of Wei Yuan paste, he could save him.

The number one nanny of the Shenzhou Yanhuang clan.

Wei Yuan’s thoughts slightly condensed, and he suddenly fell into silence.

Nü Jiao holds the Shennong Whip…

Then, back then, Qi concealed the secrets of heaven, Yu went out to fight, and Nü Jiao was responsible for the internal order of the human race.

If, if in that battle, Wei Yuan himself was also there, if he also had a certain strength, and could live to the time of the human race’s great plan, replacing Nü Jiao’s responsibility, so that Nü Jiao and Yu could fight together… then could Yu, with the Shennong Whip, not have died…

And in these thousands of years, has Nü Jiao ever thought about this possibility?

If on that day, she hadn’t let Yu fight alone, would everything have been different?

He passed his home three times without entering, and this time he agreed that he would definitely come, but he never came back.

What returned was not a tall and laughing human king.

Only a bloody broken sword.

……………………

Wei Yuan used two minds, and the body of the Lord of Kunlun was in seclusion in Kunlun.

And the museum owner opened his eyes. After returning to the museum, he used the reason of going back to Qingqiu to recuperate, and rightfully returned to Qingqiu Kingdom, returned to Tu Shan. The Lord of Chongwu Mountain and the Mountain God of Qianlai wanted to escort Wei Yuan, but were rejected by Wei Yuan.

It wasn’t about being brave or stubborn.

The main thing was that he was worried that if these two mountain gods were drinking tea in Tu Shan, they would be caught off guard by Chi You’s aura, and they would be in danger of having a myocardial infarction on the spot. Although Xuanyuan had also beaten each mountain head, the outrageous reason like Chi You’s, ‘Xuanyuan can beat you, so why can’t I?’ was one of a kind.

The old fox of Qingqiu Kingdom who guarded the gate was still very polite to Wei Yuan.

Nü Jiao changed into a set of close-fitting clothes, and the Shennong Whip in her hand was already prepared.

She stuffed a bag of elixirs into Wei Yuan in advance.

Wei Yuan looked at the bag and his eyes twitched: “Enough, so many…”

Nü Jiao hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed all the elixirs in her hand into it without changing her expression.

She nodded:

“That’s about right.”

Nü Jiao, you are like an elder who thinks their child is hungry, Wei Yuan slandered in his heart. A wisp of the Shennong Whip’s aura entangled with Wei Yuan’s wrist, and then Wei Yuan stepped into the Qingqiu Kingdom’s forbidden area, which was suppressed by layers of seals.

Wei Yuan had also wanted to ask the ancient five great villains group in the lucid dream.

To ask them if they had any suggestions.

But these guys directly played dead.

Well, they were already dead…

But such a reaction itself represented a certain tendency.

Wei Yuan stepped into the seal. After passing through extremely complicated divine era seal spells, he finally saw the tall man, saw the various weapons stuck upside down on the ground, a total of ten kinds, stuck on the ground in different ways. Wei Yuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air—this is, from the looks of it, the existence most likely to become the mortal world’s highest combat power.

Ji Xuanyuan’s nemesis.

Even if he didn’t enter the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he was still worshiped by the Chinese generations, the Lord of Jiuli.

It was the origin of the word *Limin* (common people) among the *Limin* of the Yanhuang land.

As recorded in *The Dragon Fish River Diagram*: After Ling You died, the world was once again disturbed and restless.

The Yellow Emperor then drew Chi You’s image to awe the world. The world all said that Chi You was not dead, and all directions and nations were terrified.

Therefore, he was the Lord of War, the God of War. Even if he died, he still awed the eight wastelands and four seas.

Originally dead, Chi You, who was already a corpse but did not decay for thousands of years, raised his eyes.

Wei Yuan seemed to feel two cold gazes falling on him.

This Jiuli War God seemed to still have reason.

Wei Yuan wanted to greet him and say, “Chi You, I’m here to…”

But suddenly he heard a stiff and deep voice.

“Xuanyuan…?”

A baleful aura directly locked onto Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan’s expression was slightly sluggish: “Huh?!”

“Damn it, wait, you’ve mistaken…”

“DIE!!!!”
