Chapter 374 [The Saint’s Plan]
The first instant Chen Yan saw the Saintess Ghost, he felt his scalp tingle!
This being who had been confined in the villa and couldn’t leave was actually here?!
She can leave the villa now!
·
Standing at the door, startled, Chen Yan could feel the gaze on him as if it were tangible, making him feel uncomfortable all over. His divine sense was frantically warning him, his primordial spirit was vibrating and his divine sense was unstable, leaving Chen Yan indecisive, as if he were being watched by some extremely dangerous presence!
The feeling was akin to being pressed onto the execution ground, under the executioner’s blade, the opponent’s blade could fall at any moment, claiming his head!
It’s a feeling brought about by a crushing superiority!
A few seconds later, Chen Yan walked silently into the hall.
He noticed the little girl sitting aside had cast him a helpless gaze, seemingly with a hint of apology.
"Sorry, I...can’t help it."
Chen Yan frowned. At this moment, he couldn’t blame the Yunqiao Great Demon—he had been to the Domain Realm, seen firsthand the power of the Saint Venerable, and he knew that the Yunqiao Great Demon, in the face of a Saint, was probably also powerless.
But couldn’t he even give a heads up?
What is this little girl afraid of?
Finally standing before the Saintess Ghost, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly bowed deeply as he had learned in the Domain Realm, and said in a solemn voice, "Before the Saint, disciple cultivator Chen Yan pays respects!"
After a moment of silence, the Saintess Ghost spoke again, "Chen Yan, are you aware of your sin?"
Going to question me?
Chen Yan’s heart sank slightly.
Indeed, it was to blame him for ruining her reincarnation tribulation?!
Shall I try to explain?
Suddenly, a surge of impulse rose in Chen Yan’s heart. He didn’t want to explain!
There’s nothing worth explaining!
When this thought arose, he didn’t want to suppress it anymore and simply stood straight, looking calmly at the Saintess Ghost.
The face and features of the other were almost identical to Lu Sisi, yet her expression and demeanor were vastly different, possessing a cold and indifferent aura, an attitude of looking down on all things from above...
Chen Yan suddenly laughed.
"Hmm, if the Saint wants to question me...fine, but I wonder what the Saint plans to do with me? Abolish my cultivation? Take my life? Behead me or give me a thousand cuts? Or perhaps skin me and extract my tendons, refining my divine soul?"
Saying this, the smile on Chen Yan’s face carried a hint of mild mockery: "Whatever punishment the Saint has, I will just stand here and take it."
"..."
The Saintess Ghost said nothing, but her gaze at Chen Yan revealed a complex deeper meaning.
Chen Yan instead felt a certainty in his heart!
Come on! Do it!
What means do you have?
This isn’t the Domain Realm!
The Saint cannot transcend the World Wall!
Here, you cannot display any divine might! The higher the cultivation, the more severely suppressed you are in this world!
Even the old lady at home is a Saint Venerable, having stayed in this world for decades without being able to exhibit any mana, merely being a normal person at best, helping people read their life charts like a kind of fortune-teller.
Primordial Qi? Spell? Divine Techniques? Magical Treasure?
Let’s see you try!
The Saintess Ghost sighed softly, "You still believe in some reliance at this moment, thinking that in this world, even a Saint Venerable cannot exercise divine might, hence can do nothing to you, right?"
Chen Yan said nothing, just quietly looked at her.
Though silent, the meaning was clear...come on then.
He understood.
He had indeed always tried to thwart her plan for reincarnation tribulation.
Stopping someone’s cultivation path is akin to killing their parents; in cultivation matters, thwarting someone’s cultivation plan is a deep hatred.
At this time, lowering his posture and pleading, hoping for forgiveness? What use is that?
At this moment, the Yunqiao Great Demon, who had been quietly sitting like a chicken, slowly stood up, her face hesitated for a moment, and then she whispered, "Chen Yan...bow your head."
Chen Yan frowned, looking at the little girl, "What...are you afraid of?"
The little girl said nothing.
Chen Yan sighed, "This isn’t the Domain Realm, she...", he said, pointing at the Saintess Ghost, "she can’t do anything to us here."
The little girl surprisingly also sighed, "Chen Yan, the power of the Saint is not as simple as you think."
Chen Yan shook his head, "I’d truly like to see what is ’not simple’ about it."
Since he figured it out in his heart that pleading would be useless, Chen Yan truly didn’t want to lower his head now.
Moreover...
He had a vague suspicion!
If this Saintess Ghost truly resented him trying to thwart her plan...then upon entering the door, she would have directly captured him.
Why bother with this nonsense?
A Saint Venerable isn’t a chatterbox.
Nor are they like those mindless antagonists in short dramas, who need to say mountains of nonsense, demanding humble apologies?
Unless, she can’t act herself!
The Saintess Ghost glanced at the Yunqiao Great Demon, "Little Que’Er, not taking action yet?"
Saying this, Chen Yan’s expression shifted slightly, but then it instead reinforced his suspicion.
She cannot act herself!
Upon hearing the Saintess Ghost’s command, the little girl’s face hesitated and struggled even more.
