This was what Li Xuanji had said.
When the words rang out from the Void Realm, the white cocoon of light in the gray mist gradually dimmed. Afterwards, like an eggshell, a web-like crack appeared in the middle. With a ripping sound, the crack split open, and a figure was clearly revealed before Long Chen.
Of course, it was only a glimpse. The black veil rolled up, and Li Xuanji's slender figure was already enveloped by her elegant, black dress. Only her arms and face could be seen.
A cold presence radiated from her body. Her long, dark green hair flowed down like a waterfall, filled with luster.
After being modified and nourished by the Saints' Fruit, not only had she recovered her previous appearance, but her body was even more perfect than before. The damage to her Nine Yin Absolute Meridian had completely healed as well, and it had even improved. The current Li Xuanji was completely unimaginable. She had actually aged in the past.
It could be said that all of this was because of Long Chen.
The woman surrounded by darkness possessed a strange, enchanting aura that was like a whirlpool. She attracted the attention of others. She was like a princess of the night. She was indifferent, and her dark green eyes were calm. However, they were filled with gentleness towards Long Chen.
When he was with Li Xuanji, Long Chen only needed to look into her eyes to feel peaceful inside.
This was a strange phenomenon.
The violet veil covered her black dress. All women loved to look beautiful, and Li Xuanji was no different. She spun around before Long Chen, causing her dress to flutter. She was like a beautiful rose in the night.
Lingxi, on the other hand, was like a pure-white lotus. She was just as quiet, but she was lovable. Compared to Lingxi, Li Xuanji had a few thorns. These thorns made her seem very cold, but only people who had truly entered her heart would be able to make her retract her thorns.
She was currently familiarizing herself with her current appearance. However, compared to her previous aging and yellowing appearance, she was now like a completely different person. She had never imagined that she would actually have the chance to be reborn, and all of this was bestowed upon her by Long Chen.
She understood the stubborn youth beside her, so she did not say any words of gratitude. Instead, she turned around and looked sweetly at Long Chen. She pursed her delicate pink lips and softly said, "I, was also someone who looked down on you in the past."
Seeing that she had fully recovered, Long Chen felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his heart. He looked at Li Xuanji for a while. After recovering her strength, she seemed to be shrouded in countless mysteries, and he could not see through her clearly.
He shook his head and said with a smile, "Those are words to intimidate others, not to you."
Li Xuanji looked around. Under Long Chen's will, she could also see the scene outside the Great Void Realm. The environment here made Li Xuanji frown slightly. She said with some displeasure, "This should be the Yang family."
Long Chen knew that she vaguely knew what was happening outside, but she was not too clear about it. As such, he told her everything that had happened recently.
As Yang Lingqing's fate was currently unknown, Long Chen stayed here.
"We'll think about it a little more. There will always be a way. She's my younger sister. No matter what, no one can have their way with her, unless I, Long Chen, lose my life." Long Chen clenched his fists slightly as he said that.
It seemed like he was boasting, but Li Xuanji knew that Long Chen had the right to say such bold words. There was no reason why he had the right. That was why he had even obtained the Saints' Fruit for Li Xuanji, and then faced the combined attacks of Su Zhe and Qin Shi.
"Yes, with you as her brother, she'll definitely be fine," Li Xuanji said.
She suddenly thought of when Li Xuanji had taken Yang Lingqing away in Baiyang Village. Back then, she would never have thought that a young girl from such a small place would be able to climb to such a position. If that was the case, was there anything that was impossible?
"You've already woken up. What do you plan to do next? The Yang family is extremely dangerous for you, so I'll find a chance to send you out. As for revenge, you already know that you're not the opponent of the Yang family no matter what. I'll send you out first. It's best if you leave the Demon World of Shadow." Long Chen put aside the matter of Yang Lingqing for now and said to the mysterious beauty.
Her eyes turned, and her face was pale to the extreme. Although there was no color, it did not affect her beauty. At this moment, she did not hesitate, as if she had already made up her mind. Now, she blurted out, "I'll stay and help you."
"Okay."
This was not Long Chen's plan. It would only be more dangerous for her to stay here. After all, the Yang family had even sent out Yang Dingtian to kill him. Their greatest enemies this time were the two ancestors of the Yang family, who were already Nirvana Tribulation experts. An additional Li Xuanji would not be of much use.
"Forget it. There's no need to die in vain. I'll send you out first." Long Chen decided and said.
"Long Chen." Li Xuanji stared at him with a sincere gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Her bold gaze made Long Chen a little confused. Long Chen could not explain the relationship between him and Li Xuanji. He always felt that it was a little strange, but he did not want to change it. So let it be like this for now.
Li Xuanji said word by word, "You've said it before. We're friends, so we should go through thick and thin together. You've helped me before, so I naturally can't retreat this time. Otherwise, you'll look down on me. Besides, you definitely need me. No one can save Yang Lingqing other than me. This is the real reason why the Yang family didn't hesitate to spend so much effort to kill me."
Looking at this peerless beauty being so serious, Long Chen was a little helpless at first. He did not want her to take the risk. After all, it wasn't easy for him to save her.
However, Xiao Chen's final words allowed the depressed Long Chen to see a glimmer of hope.
"What?"
Long Chen looked at Li Xuanji excitedly. His eyes lit up and said, "You said, only you can save her. You have a way."
Long Chen's reaction made her very satisfied. From his excited look, Li Xuanji knew that she did not misjudge him. The most important thing for a man was not his appearance, or even his strength, but his responsibility. No matter how strong he was, without responsibility and responsibility, he was trash. Long Chen could not see the gap between him and the Yang family. He only saw that Yang Lingqing was his sister. He must save her. This was his responsibility.
For him, Li Xuanji certainly would not neglect. She smiled, which was rare. In the dark night, she had a soul-stirring beauty.
Li Xuanji became serious and said, "In fact, this is a secret of my Li family. Not many people know about it. Of course, the Yang family has been in contact with my Li family for many years, so they know about it. As far as I know, it seems that in the Three Regions and Nine Realms, the only way to separate two Divine Martial Realms that have merged together should be the secret magic of my Li family. Maybe you have guessed it …"
Speaking of this, a word indeed came to Long Chen's mind. He laughed and said excitedly, "It turned out to be the Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil. It must be the ultimate Soul Devouring Technique."
He had been thinking hard about the method, but he did not expect that the method was on him.
Li Xuanji nodded and said, "It is the Soul Devouring Technique."
Long Chen thought for a while and said, "Doesn't that mean, if there is a chance, maybe I can solve this matter by myself?"
Not only Li Xuanji knew the Soul Devouring Technique, but Long Chen had also practiced it, but he had never used it.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Xuanji shook her head and said, "It is not as simple as you think. The opponent is a Divine Martial Realm warrior of the Nirvana Tribulation Realm. That is a God Martial Soul that has resisted the Nirvana Tribulation. It is so easy to separate and kill them. Because the opponent is not occupying his original body, the degree of compatibility is not high. That is why the Soul Devouring Technique has the opportunity to separate their souls. But you better be mentally prepared."
"Tell me more details." Long Chen held his breath. This was his only hope.
Li Xuanji looked solemn and said, "First, for the Soul Fusion Technique, as long as it is not completely successful, there will be competition between the two. If Ling Qing can devour the opponent's God Martial Soul, it will be the best, but this is basically impossible. The only possibility is that after a period of time, Ling Qing will be completely assimilated by her and become a part of her God Martial Soul."
This was the worst result, which meant that Yang Lingqing had basically disappeared from this world.
Long Chen did not speak and responded in silence.
"And before the opponent succeeds, the two will use the body interchangeably. Presumably, at this time, Ling Qing will not have the advantage. Our Soul Devouring Technique can only be used when the opponent controls the body. Otherwise, it is very likely that Ling Qing's soul will also be devoured. This is the first danger."
Saying these words, Li Xuanji was also not relaxed, because it was a blow to Long Chen's hope.
However, she had to make it clear.
This was fate, he had to resist, but the hope was slim.
The elegant woman in front of him gently stared into Long Chen's eyes, this was a force of encouragement.
"Continue, I remember it all." Long Chen squeezed out a smile and said reluctantly.
Li Xuanji understood him, her eyes were mixed with a trace of sadness, heartache, and other complicated emotions. After a moment of silence, she continued: "Second, there is also a risk of failure. If I fail, there will be a few results. Maybe I will be fine, maybe my eyes will be injured, or maybe the opponent's two God Martial Souls will be devoured by me, or maybe Ling Qing will be gone. All these can happen."
In short, even if they used the Soul Devouring Technique, it would be very troublesome.
"But this is really the only method I know."
Li Xuanji closed her eyes, then slowly opened them. She did not dare to face Long Chen who was upset at this time.
