Because of this, Ye Lingyuan no longer resisted and calmly walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
He walked through the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion and into the main hall.
Seated on the main seat of the hall was a woman in black.
That familiar face, that familiar pressure, made Ye Lingyuan feel much more at ease.
He calmly said, "Why are you here?"
The woman slowly raised her head and said coldly, "Long time no see!"
Ye Lingyuan nodded and said, "It has indeed been a long time since we parted at the Ghost Altar!"
The aura of the woman suddenly became sharp, and her powerful Divine Lord pressure inexorably crushed down upon Ye Lingyuan.
"Hmph! Boy, I entrusted my granddaughter to you with such peace of mind back then, and this is how you protect her?"
Ye Lingyuan's expression tensed, and his late-stage Divine King cultivation poured out, meeting the Divine Lord's pressure.
Divine King versus Divine Lord!
Even with Ye Lingyuan's monstrous talent, it was difficult to ignore the gap in cultivation realms.
"Pfft!"
Ye Lingyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Chi Mo Yue Hua only knows how to bully the weak!"
That's right! The woman before him was none other than Chi Mo Yue Hua.
After she broke free from the Underworld, she searched high and low for the whereabouts of Chan Xin City.
Fortunately, heaven did not fail the determined. After countless changes, she finally found Chan Xin City.
She sat in her former seat, recalling the most painful and happiest moments of her life.
She sat there for several years.
Yue Hua smiled coldly, withdrew her pressure, and said, "Boy, do you want to save Lin'er?"
Ye Lingyuan said resolutely, "Yes!"
Yue Hua nodded with satisfaction and said, "To answer without any hesitation, not bad!"
Ye Lingyuan said indifferently, "If Senior has nothing else, then I will take Lin'er and leave!"
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
"Stop!"
Yue Hua's voice was sharp.
Ye Lingyuan stopped, waiting for Yue Hua to continue.
Yue Hua sighed and said in a softer tone, "Are you taking Lin'er to the Demon Clan?"
Ye Lingyuan nodded. "Lin'er is severely injured, and her soul is trapped in the Other Shore Space. Therefore, I must take her to the Demon Clan to find a way to save her."
As he spoke, he was about to leave again.
"Who told you that the method to unlock the Other Shore Space is in the Demon Clan?"
Yue Hua's words made Ye Lingyuan retract his step, which he was about to take. Su Dan Novel Network
He looked at Yue Hua in surprise and said, "You mean..."
Yue Hua nodded. "The Other Shore Space is the internal space of the Other Shore Tear. It can indeed heal injuries absolutely, but the prerequisite is that one must pass the test of the Other Shore Space."
Ye Lingyuan was greatly shocked and said, "A test? What kind of test?"
Yue Hua stood up from her seat and said, "The Other Shore Tear is a tear of extreme emotion. Therefore, the test of the Other Shore Space is also a test of extreme emotion."
"Oh!"
Ye Lingyuan let out a soft hum but did not interrupt.
He knew that Yue Hua had not finished speaking.
As expected, Yue Hua continued, "Therefore, there is only one way to unlock the Other Shore Space."
"What way?"
Ye Lingyuan asked quickly.
"Love!"
Yue Hua slowly uttered a single word.
"Love? What do you mean?" Ye Lingyuan asked, confused.
"Only a love profound enough can open the Other Shore Space."
Yue Hua said this, and her sharp gaze fell on Ye Lingyuan, saying, "I can help you save Lin'er, but..."
"But what?"
Ye Lingyuan's eyes lit up.
Yue Hua smiled coldly and said, "But before we gather three drops of Tears of Extreme Emotion, it can only be a soul exchange!"
"Three drops of Tears of Extreme Emotion? What are they?" Ye Lingyuan asked with a frown.
Yue Hua said, "A tear of familial love, a tear of friendship, and a tear of romantic love."
Ye Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What is a soul exchange?"
"It means... sealing your soul into the Other Shore Space and swapping it with Lin'er's soul,"
Yue Hua said mockingly, looking at Ye Lingyuan.
She did not believe that Ye Lingyuan would risk his life to save Zi Linling's life.
"After the exchange, can Lin'er wake up?" Ye Lingyuan asked.
Yue Hua said, "One sleeps, one awakens!"
"Alright! Then let's exchange,"
Ye Lingyuan said, carrying Zi Linling out of "Chong'er".
Yue Hua was astonished and said, "Are you sure? Do you know that after the exchange, you will have to complete the test of extreme emotion in her place, or you will never wake up!"
Ye Lingyuan nodded and said, "Exchange it!"
Yue Hua confirmed again, "After the exchange, only by gathering three drops of Tears of Extreme Emotion will your test of extreme emotion be considered passed. Have you really thought it through?"
Ye Lingyuan nodded and said, "As long as Lin'er can wake up, it doesn't matter if I never wake up! Exchange it!"
"Good!"
Yue Hua nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I will begin!"
Ye Lingyuan nodded.
With a wave of her hand, Yue Hua summoned the Other Shore Tear that was hidden within Zi Linling's eyes.
She looked at the Other Shore Tear, recalling the bits and pieces of her time with Chi Mingyan, and tears involuntarily slid from the corners of her eyes.
She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Boy, I'm starting now!"
Then, she took a drop of tears from the corner of her eye and dripped it onto the Other Shore Tear, forming seals with her hands.
The Other Shore Tear shone brightly, and faint crying sounds seemed to emanate from within.
Subsequently, Ye Lingyuan and Zi Linling were simultaneously enveloped by the light, and a large cocoon quickly formed.
Inside the cocoon, Ye Lingyuan looked at the unconscious Zi Linling, a gentle smile curving his lips.
Soon, Ye Lingyuan felt his soul being pulled by a force, separating from his body.
Then, a suction force pulled him into a certain place.
This place was cold and devoid of warmth; besides coldness, there was only coldness.
Ye Lingyuan smiled faintly and said, "This must be the Other Shore Space? A space that requires three drops of Tears of Extreme Emotion to open, yet it has not a trace of warmth."
The moment his soul was pulled into the Other Shore Space, Zi Linling's soul returned to her body.
She slowly opened her eyes, gradually adapting to the light.
This is...
Zi Linling's eyes showed a hint of joy. She was sure that she had returned to reality.
She suddenly sat up and saw Yue Hua, who was panting heavily.
Exchanging souls was a strain, even for Yue Hua, a Divine Lord.
"Grandmother!"
A hoarse voice, completely natural, came from Zi Linling's mouth.
Yue Hua's body trembled slightly.
With a swift grab, she pulled Zi Linling to her.
Yue Hua's voice trembled as she asked, "Lin'er, what did you just call me?"
Zi Linling smiled and said, "You are Mother's mother, so of course I should call you Grandmother!"
