Soul Trigger

Chapter 585 Everyone is a God
"Film?"

The pocket watch vibrated, sensing the warning message from the film, as Ji Li and Shu were rapidly retreating.

To be precise, Shu Zheng pulled him directly away through the space behind them, just like he had done with the Eye of Truth when he used it to see through the spiritual environment on the canal.

If Felin sends a warning, it's highly likely that the heritage lab she's currently in is at risk of exposure.

"I might not be able to get away right now. Can you stay in hiding?"

[I'm not sure. Tengjun, along with the Imperial Guards and the Tomb King, is besieging Ludwig in the Mirage. Their numbers are enormous, and the spiritual energy fluctuations they emit might affect the space I'm in.]

Ambush?

A flicker of surprise flashed in Ji Li's eyes—

Indeed, if there was anything more important than the gathering today, it was the life of the Grand Duke of White Island.

But why at Mirage University? What does Teng-kun's arrangement of my engagement mean in his plan?
Ji Li turned his head to look upwards. At this moment, the dark green spiritual matter was colliding wildly with the black lightning. Apart from Yu Ya Xun's maniacal laughter and the noise of the spiritual matter colliding, nothing could be seen.

He grabbed Shu, who was about to make her second jump, and the latter looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Not running anymore?
I'm not running anymore; I have other plans.

The eerie green spiritual energy permeating the entire environment instantly caught up with the two, and in their retreat, a short-haired figure named Hell Fang Xun materialized:
"Menis, where are you taking my Ji Li?"

Immediately afterwards, two more bursts of green light exploded, and from the billowing smoke emerged Hell Fang Xun, with different hairstyles and expressions—

Dissociative identity disorder.

At the same time, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and a muffled groan came from the group of eerie green spirits. Yan Xiyu was held firmly in mid-air by the ghost claws formed from the eerie green spirits.

In the midst of the struggle, Hell Fang's true form descended from the sky:

"Fun little toys, but that's not your power."

She glanced at the black lightning crackling on her arm and the Salvador she held in her hand, then casually tossed it aside, her eyes blazing with an eerie green light:

"The farce is over. You mummy over there, give me back my Ji Li. I'm going to continue my engagement ceremony."

The crimson gold burned in Shu's eyes:
He disagreed.

Yu Ya Xun revealed a smile, raised his hand in a gesture of grasping, and the ghostly claw that was holding Yan Xi Yu tightened its grip several times over:

"So, my only option is to crush this little bird?"

Ji Li's lips twitched, and he gestured to Yan Xiyu to calm down and not to mess around with this madman.

At the same time, looking at Kaoru:
"That's enough, get down first..."

But the cool girl roared:

"You're not allowed to agree to it even if she strangles me to death!!!"

The electronic music was so loud it shook hell, and he suddenly turned his head:

"as you wish……"

Ji Li immediately covered his face. The dragon fireflies multiplied and transformed into a rainbow torrent that directly slammed into the large hand on Yan Xiyu's body.

A flash of surprise crossed Yuya Xun's eyes, followed by a fleeting glint of anger:
You're going to hit me for another woman?

The shock quickly turned into a twisted smile on her face, and she withdrew her giant claw before Ji Li's spiritual attack could arrive.

Freed from the spiritual bondage, Yan Xiyu fell to the ground, clutching his neck and glaring angrily at Yu Ya Xun, black lightning crackling in his red eyes:
Very unwilling.

After receiving training from the Lonely Tomb King... how could he still be unable to defeat him in a single move?!

A fist clenched tighter and tighter, then slammed into the ground with a powerful punch.

Yu Ya Xun completely ignored her, her gaze fixed on Ji Li, though Shu blocked her view entirely.

"Step back, mortal. Your delusional ritual will not be blessed by anyone. Have you even asked for his opinion?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Li, meaning:
What are your plans?
Ji Li suddenly raised his hand:

"I am willing."

Shu Gang, expressionless, turned away from Ji Li's face, then abruptly turned back:

"?"

"What?!" X2
The cool girl, who was lying on the ground feeling unwell, immediately jumped up:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shu's eyes blazed with crimson gold, and she tightened her grip on Ji Li's fingers.
I advise you to be careful with your words and actions.

Cha Chan-ho, who was in the corner, wanted to shout too, but was firmly held down by Colonel Kuangfeng, who was trying to sneak away:

Are you gay or what? Why are you so agitated? Why don't you go beat up the Demon Lord?

He never imagined that what was supposed to be a hunt for the Ascension Roulette would turn into a battleground for women vying for a husband.

What exactly is going on with this heir to the imperial tomb?
Willard, who had a gloomy expression and was about to take advantage of the chaos to rescue El Salvador, also froze in place.

Because of Ji Li's shout, Yu Ya Xun's twisted smile froze on the spot, then turned into pure joy, and the crazy thoughts in his mind were instantly thrown to the winds.

Even the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body dimmed, and the spiritual energy in the sky dissipated, indicating that the chaos was about to subside.
"Great! Let's get started right away!"

The madwoman landed on the spot, giggling as she opened her arms and ran towards Ji Li.

Yan Xiyu, huddled in the corner, was practically grinding his teeth to powder, while a pair of burning crimson-gold eyes blocked the madwoman's longing gaze:

"I disagree."

The Eye of Truth locked onto Hell Fang, who subtly stopped in his tracks.

"Oh?"

Ji Li, who was behind her, grabbed her and quickly communicated with her through their contractual link:
【What's wrong with you now? I don't know what Teng-jun and Ludwig are doing. We can't let her continue her madness at the rally right now. Let's stabilize the situation first, and we can deal with the rest later...】

"That won't do either." Shu's voice echoed in his mind, resolute and decisive, leaving Ji Li deeply puzzled.

He could understand the attitudes of Che Chan-ho and the cool girl, but his relationship with Shu wasn't that complicated.

The dark-skinned girl simply chose him as a collaborator; their relationship was just a little close, and today they were just teammates cooperating with each other.

But strictly speaking, whether he and Yuya Kaoru become a couple or not, it shouldn't hinder your grand plan to destroy all of humanity, right?

No, why are you in such a hurry?

Shu remained expressionless.
My mission today is to steal the bride.

But now you don't need to steal it anymore.

But the tooth-mark contract she wants you to sign is a ritual that will take away from the connection between us, so I disagree.

Ji Li was completely puzzled:

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Then the image of Shu frantically trying to pull him away flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized:
Is this why you were in such a hurry to pull me away?

Before the Madwoman appeared, and while the Illuminati and Willard were trying to forcibly tie up Ji Li, Shu was already eager to pull Ji Li away as soon as possible.

He wondered at the time, even if these three things could threaten him, could they threaten a Paradoxical being like him?

Now that the case is solved, what Shu saw from Willard was not the future of the three assassins, but the future of Yuya Xun with the "Tooth Mark Contract".

That's right, so I disagree.

Ji Li helplessly pressed her head down:
Okay, I said I agree, not that I agree now or immediately. I can agree tomorrow, the day after, or next year.

Shu suddenly looked puzzled, and the crimson gold in his eyes faded slightly.

I never expected you to be this kind of person.

"I didn't expect that either."

The sudden interruption of the voice made the two people who were secretly communicating pause and look at the smiling madwoman in front of them.

She gently held up one finger in front of her lips:
"Honey, please don't whisper to other women in front of me."

Old Ji was now sweating profusely.
"Wait a minute, Ludwig..."

"It's alright!" Yuya Xun slowly floated into the air, the dimension behind him cracking open to reveal a deep, eerie green spiritual substance, and the storm swept in once more:
"No matter who it is, no matter what their conspiracy is, I will not let anyone hurt you..."

Then, a giant claw shot out from the crack and slammed down on Ji Li and Shu's side, stirring up a terrifying aura.

As the immense hellish spiritual energy rapidly dissipated, it revealed Hell Fangs's smiling face:
"I'll break your limbs first, then carefully preserve you and take you back to Black Sun Mansion. That way, absolutely no one will be able to harm you!"

Billions of hellish beams erupted, wrapping around Ji Li like tentacles.

Ji Li cursed inwardly; this was the first time in hundreds of years he had encountered such a troublesome lunatic.

In an instant, rainbows burst forth, and the crimson-gold color in Shu's eyes also erupted simultaneously.

Amidst Yu Ya Xun's maniacal laughter, a series of explosions erupted in the exhibition hall, causing chaos as the crowd scattered. Colonel Storm grabbed Cha Chan-ho and ran.

Sir Willard secretly created a white light under his feet, intending to cross to the giant cherry blossom tree and rescue El Salvador.

But a jet-black spiritual energy suddenly slashed down, transforming into a wave that startled the two sneaky old men back, while instantly piercing through Yu Ya Xun's hellish spiritual energy—

The Lonely Prince?!

The two felt a chill run down their spines instantly, but then they realized it didn't seem like it:

"It's the spell of the Lonely Tomb King, but this spiritual quality... it's malevolent spiritual quality?!"

Colonel Storm was shocked and enraged:
"Wait, the dragon vein's warning mechanism has been triggered. The scene is fluctuating, and Hell Fang Xun's hellish spiritual essence is being suppressed by the dragon vein..."

The electricity crackled, and with a dragon's roar that had been triggered, the black and red single wing swept across the entire area.

With a torrent of black electricity, it instantly destroyed all spiritual matter at the center of the chaos, finally tearing apart layers of hellish aura before rushing towards the green-haired woman.

Yuya Xun exclaimed in surprise and turned around abruptly.

All that could be seen was Yan Xiyu, a figure in a mixture of dragon armor and demonic form, with most of his face covered by a spiritual substance combining feathers and dragon armor, revealing only a scarlet left eye.

Within that deep left eye, a dark lightning bolt surged and raged:
"You bastard, don't ignore me!!!"

Sensing the extremely strong emotions within that spiritual essence and the lethal techniques far exceeding the opponent's realm, Yu Ya Xun's lips curled into an extreme grin:
"interesting……"

He immediately raised his hand, and a dark green hellish spiritual energy enveloped it, ready to collide with Yan Xiyu.

But as soon as the cool girl spread her single wing, her entire body vanished instantly.

The next moment, he appeared beside Yuya Xun and, amidst countless astonished gazes, delivered a punch that slammed into her face:

"This is a return gift for you! Get lost!!"

In an instant, Yuya Xun spun backward and flew out, grinding a huge trench in the ground, and then crashed into the foot of the cherry blossom tree, bypassing Colonel Storm.

Instantly, Colonel Storm and Sir Willard, who had just reached the vicinity of the cherry blossom tree, were drenched in cold sweat.

He almost died.

Ji Li, who had already transformed into the Death Star, lowered his arms and looked at Yan Xiyu, who was dressed in dragon attire and had become a mixture of evil spirits.

At this moment, the cool girl's eyes flashed with brilliance, and her aura was constantly expanding under the influence of the Law of Desire:

Under the yandere declaration of Kaoru Gokuga, her "righteous" aura finally couldn't be contained.

But don't forget, her sense of justice is for Ji Li's sake.

But the next moment, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the scene.

Yan Xiyu's figure blurred as a dragon claw slammed down towards her body—

The Dragon Vein of China.

Theoretically speaking, any awakened system that is not recognized by the Divine Dragon Vein will be suppressed. If one rashly uses spiritual matter, one will end up like Yan Xiyu is now.

Yuya Xun is a foreign guest. Each foreign guest must have a special spiritual circuit engraved upon entering the country. As long as the use of spiritual energy is below a certain level, it will not trigger the suppression mechanism of the Divine Dragon Vein.

Otherwise, given Yu Ya Xun's madness on the high seas, none of them here would survive if he tried to take Ji Li away.

The reason why Yan Xiyu was able to destroy Yu Yaxun's hellish spiritual essence was not only due to his own burst of spiritual light and the spell he received from Gu Lingwang's special training, but also because he actively activated his evil spirit transformation, attracting the dragon veins of the Divine Land.

Unlike the eccentric woman, Yan Xiyu, as an international student of the Dragon Vein Convention Bureau, was not monitored by the Dragon Vein because she voluntarily accepted the Dragon Armor System.

However, this does not mean that her demonic transformation will disappear. If she rashly unleashes her demonic transformation, it will also attract the suppression of the Divine Dragon Vein.

And this is precisely why it became the key to her tearing apart the Prison Fang's spiritual essence—

Ji Li's figure instantly appeared in mid-air above her, and he fiercely raised his hand to block the dragon's claw.

The aura emanating from the ancient spirit core swept over us, overwhelming us.

"Hey, aren't you pushing yourself a little too hard?"

Seeing that Ji Li had blocked the suppression of the Divine Dragon Vein, Yan Xiyu felt a sudden release, completely reverting to his human form. The flashing spiritual light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and as he clenched his fists, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I... am no worse than anyone else."

She raised her head, staring intently at Ji Li, wiping the blood from her lips, her demonic aura still emanating from her:

"No worse than a rabbit, no worse than a pear, no worse than that paradox next to you, and certainly no worse than that madman!"

Ji Li was speechless:

"I know, I know, you love me the most, so for my sake, please hurry up and control your breathing, okay? Your beloved can't take it anymore."

Yan Xiyu's eyes widened in shock, her face flushed crimson, and she collapsed to the ground, gritting her teeth as she turned her head away.
"What are you saying? There are so many people..."

"Yes, what are you talking about?"

Wild green hair, hellish spiritual energy bursting forth—

Yuya Kaoru grinned, slowly rising from under the cherry blossom tree, his white teeth already transformed into sharp spikes.

On her arm, the "whitelist" circuit engraved from the dragon veins of China was flashing wildly, repeatedly threatening to explode at any moment:
"Honey, I think I was hallucinating just now, so you were actually talking to me, right?"

Silence fell over the scene. Anyone could see that the madwoman's state at that moment was like the calm before a storm.

Ji Li remained silent for half a second upon hearing this:

"Yes."

boom! ! !
Yuya Xun's lower face split open, the ground collapsed and exploded, even the magnificent cherry blossom tree turned into a crooked tree, and the spiritual circuits on the ground were instantly destroyed.

In the instant that the earthquake had occurred, a furious roar of hellish spiritual energy surged towards Ji Li:

“Liar!!!”

Bang!
The pitch-black energy burst forth, exploding together with the aura of hell, mixing into a chaotic black and green hue that transformed into a shield of energy, before exploding in all directions, creating a blinding white light.

After a few breaths, the white light gradually faded away.

Seeing the figure appear in his field of vision from the side, Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief:
"If you watch the show a little longer, she'll tear down the entire tomb down there."

The Way of the Lonely Tomb King:

"In order for Yan Xiyu to break free from her inner demons and karmic obstacles, she should face them alone. However, I have also come to realize your importance."

The Lonely Prince, whose long hair obscured his entire face, seemed to glance at Ji Li through the strands of hair, and even pointed a finger at Ji Li:

"However, we'll talk about your matter later."

You sound a little dissatisfied, you brat.

Ji Li glanced at Yan Xiyu beside him, who sensed Ji Li's gaze and met his eyes.

This naturally aroused Yuya Xun's dissatisfaction to the next level, but it was all blocked by the destructive spiritual energy emitted by Guling Wang:
"That's enough, Lord Huojin. Making such a fuss over matters of love has embarrassed you and Shulong. Let's stop here."

Yuya Kaoru's face immediately lit up with a smile, and then he burst into laughter:

"...King Guling, you actually think this is just a matter of love?"

She looked at Ji Li, her eyes filled with longing:

"Idiot. The entire Shulong is seriously underestimating him..."
