Chapter 521 Who are you? What did you do to Miss Xu?
"I...I think I've messed up."
"Dig up our ancestors!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shuo almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
He suppressed the urge to rub his forehead, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
"Ancestor?"
Ling Shuo's voice changed tone.
"Miss Xu, did you perhaps dig up some Supreme Elder's tombstone and burn it for firewood?"
"No, it's not that bad luck."
Xu Wan waved her hand!
Then I realized that saying it that way didn't seem quite right!
then!
She quickly squatted down.
Carefully prying aside the pile of fluorescent fruit pits, a dark, root-like object was revealed at the bottom.
That thing was only the size of a palm, and its surface was pitted and bumpy!
It looked like a piece of rotten wood that had been rolling in the mud for eight hundred years, with no spiritual energy fluctuations and even a slightly musty smell.
"This is it."
Xu Wan said with a serious expression.
"When I was eating fruit just now, this thing suddenly moved and even crawled into my body."
"He even cursed at me."
Ling Shuo and Lan Youyou both widened their eyes at the same time.
He had a look on his face that said, "Did you eat something bad that damaged your brain?"
What did it say to you?
Ling Shuo asked tentatively.
“It called me a ‘good-for-nothing thief who even dared to steal my ‘Transformation Fruit’.”
Xu Wan imitated that tone perfectly.
Next breath...
Xu Wan's originally bright eyes suddenly became unfocused.
Next!
Her entire demeanor changed instantly.
His original carefree, cunning, and even somewhat silly demeanor had vanished without a trace, replaced only by indifference and authority.
She slowly straightened up, patted the dust off her body, and her movements were nothing like someone who had just been stealing wild fruit.
"Finally... out."
An aged male voice came from Xu Wan's mouth.
Ling Shuo was on high alert, his spiritual energy surging around him, and his pink robe fluttered even without wind.
He shielded Lan Youyou behind him and shouted sternly:
"Who are you? What have you done to Miss Xu?"
Xu Wan raised her head, a half-smile playing on her lips, her gaze fixed on Ling Shuo as if he were an ant.
"Ling Shuo? After all these years, you're still so impulsive."
"What, you can't even recognize my voice anymore?"
"The Earth Spirit Ancestor?"
Ling Shuo's pupils contracted sharply.
The legendary first guardian spirit of the Spirit Plant Garden, known for his capricious temper and ruthless methods?
But he immediately realized what was happening, his voice trembling:
"No...you are not the ancestor!"
"Our ancestor has long since passed away; you are merely a possessing evil spirit!"
"Possession? What a vulgar term."
The thing controlled Xu Wan's body, moved its limbs, and seemed very satisfied with this body!
“I am the inheritor, the continuation.”
"Although this body is a demon body, it is pure and has a very high affinity with spiritual plants. It is simply a vessel tailor-made for me."
Xu Wan's gaze shifted to Lan Youyou behind Ling Shuo, a greedy glint flashing in her eyes:
"And that child."
"A Soul Lamp Body? This is truly a stroke of luck."
"Hahahaha!"
"With this body, and after refining that child's soul, I, your ancestor, can not only reshape my physical body, but even break through the bottleneck I faced back then!"
"You're dreaming!"
Ling Shuo roared in fury!
He held the small knife pendant hanging around his neck in his right hand.
"A single thought becomes a blade, and all blades return to their origin!"
A flash of red light appeared, instantly transforming into a sky full of flying knives that hurtled towards Xu Wan.
"Oh! You overestimate your own abilities."
Xu Wan sneered and lightly tapped her finger.
A strange scene happened!
The withered vines on the ground suddenly came to life, instantly entangled the flying knives, and devoured them completely.
"Boy! I forgot to tell you, in this Spirit Plant Garden, I am a god!"
Xu Wan walked towards Ling Shuo step by step, her tone full of mockery.
"Why do you think Chen Xuan would let her stay in this spirit plant garden?"
"Because he had already sensed my existence. He was afraid that I would be revived, so he wanted to use this girl to lure me out and then completely eliminate me."
"What a pity, he overlooked one step."
"He underestimated the girl's resilience, and he also underestimated my desire for this body."
Xu Wan stretched out her hand, a red mushroom condensing at her fingertips, and gently tossed it towards Ling Shuo:
"Go, take your loyalty, and die."
Ling Shuo was forced to retreat repeatedly by the highly poisonous red mushroom.
The poisonous mist eroded his spiritual energy shield, causing a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, and his heart was filled with fear.
"Sister Master..."
Seeing this, Lan Youyou suddenly broke free from Ling Shuo's protection and ran barefoot towards Xu Wan.
Xu Wan stopped and looked down at the little girl, her eyes filled with contempt:
"What? Kid, you want to die too?"
Lan Youyou didn't speak, but simply raised her head, her clear eyes looking directly into Xu Wan's eyes.
Suddenly, she opened her arms and hugged Xu Wan's leg tightly, calling out in a childish voice:
"Sister Master, don't you want Youyou anymore?"
This call seemed to carry some kind of magic.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan's body stiffened abruptly, and a crack appeared in the coldness in her eyes.
Looking down at the unsuspecting little girl in his arms, the image of Xu Wan braiding her hair suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Get out..."
A faint but firm voice echoed in Xu Wan's mind.
"Get out!!!"
That was Xu Wan's consciousness, which launched a final counterattack in the desperate situation of her body being invaded, relying on her concern for Lan Youyou.
Xu Wan's body began to tremble violently, and her face showed a painful struggle.
Two opposing consciousnesses engaged in a fierce battle within this body.
Seeing this, Ling Shuo knew that his opportunity had come.
He suppressed his pain and pulled out a golden token from his pocket.
That was Chen Xuan's trump card to save his life.
"Miss Xu! Hang in there!"
"Spirit Protection Array!"
Ling Shuo shouted and threw the token into the air.
Golden light instantly enveloped them, transforming into a giant cage that trapped Xu Wan and Lan Youyou inside.
"Ah! Chenxuan, you brat! You were definitely up to no good!"
The thing let out a shrill scream, and under the scorching golden light, it could no longer maintain control.
A cloud of black mist was forcibly forced out from Xu Wan's crown, transforming into a hideous ghost face that tried to escape.
"Want to run?"
A clear, cold voice came from the horizon.
Chen Xuan's figure appeared out of thin air, his long sword unsheathed, a dazzling sword light slashed through the night sky, directly annihilating the black mist.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan landed on the ground, looking at the mess in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.
He walked up to Ling Shuo, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious Xu Wan, and then looking at Lan Youyou, who was terrified but trying to appear calm.
"metropolitan!"
When Ling Shuo saw Chen Xuan, it was as if she had seen her pillar of support. Her tense nerves relaxed, and she almost fell to the ground.
Chen Xuan nodded, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.
He stepped forward, extended his hand, and gently placed two fingers together on Xu Wan's wrist.
A gentle yet vast spiritual energy slowly flowed into her body, examining her injuries.
After a while!
Chen Xuan withdrew his hand, his expression softening slightly:
"She was injured at her core, but fortunately the evil spirit was forced out in time, and her soul was not damaged."
"He will wake up after a period of rest."
Ling Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.
"Thank you, Master."
Chen Xuan said no more, turned around and looked ahead, his eyes becoming deep and distant.
With a flick of his sleeve, he sent a burst of spiritual energy into the ground, instantly calming the restless spiritual plants as if nothing had happened.
“Deep within the earth’s veins of this desolate orchard lies the malevolent intent of the previous guardian spirit.”
