The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Sima Qiuyun waved her jade-like hand, her fingers moving like lightning.

It accurately struck the consciousness of the two maids.

Before they could even groan, their eyes glazed over, and they collapsed limply to the ground, dying instantly.

At this moment, all the pressure from the formation fell on Shangguan Yun alone.

A loud buzzing sound filled Shangguan Yun's mind, as if he had been hit by a hammer. His consciousness was in excruciating pain, and everything in front of him blurred.

"Oh no! There's an ambush..."

He was startled; his early Nascent Soul cultivation was about to erupt, but it was too late.

A ghostly figure appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of him.

It was Lin Yi!

Lin Yi raised two fingers together, his fingertips gathering lightning-type spiritual power and a strange soul-shaking force, and struck Shangguan Yun's brow with lightning speed!

"Forbidden God Finger!"

"puff!"

Shangguan Yun trembled violently, his spiritual power collapsed instantly, his pupils dilated, and his eyes were filled with fear.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. His consciousness plunged into darkness, his body went limp, and he fell backward.

Lin Yi caught him and patted him several times.

The violent spiritual energy, like chains, sealed off all his meridians and his nascent soul in his dantian.

Having done all this, Lin Yi had a thought: "Withdraw!"

Shangguan Yun vanished into thin air, having been tossed into a corner of the spiritual spring space.

"Done!"

Lin Yi clapped his hands. "Lock him in the spiritual spring space. No matter how powerful the Shangguan family is, they won't be able to sense where he is!"

From taking action to locking the person up, it only took two or three breaths.

The three of them worked together flawlessly.

Lin Yi smiled at the two girls. "Alright, the audience is ready. It's our turn to perform!"

He used the Thousand Faces Illusion Technique, and his figure and face changed in a series of movements.

In the blink of an eye, he became exactly like Shangguan Yun.

He even perfectly imitated that arrogant and ruthless demeanor.

Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun followed suit, and with a flash of light, they transformed into the appearances of the two maids.

"Walk!"

Lin Yi waved his hand and, with two fake maids in tow, headed straight for the Shangguan family.

We arrived at the gate of the Shangguan family's residence.

Unfortunately, they bumped into a woman who exuded a menacing aura.

Shangguan Xue was just about to leave!

Shangguan Xue saw her younger brother, paused, and glanced at him. "Shangguan Yun! Where did you run off to with your men? Did you find those remnants of Sima Liuying's gang?"

Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he immediately got into character, his face filled with exhaustion and impatience. "Ugh, sis! I'm exhausted!"

"I turned that mountain to the west upside down, but I didn't see a single soul!"

"If you ask me, the key issue lies with that old man!"

"Sis, let me try! I guarantee I can get him to talk!"

Shangguan Xue snorted coldly, "You? Give me a break! Father and several elders have taken turns trying to talk to him, but that old geezer is too stubborn!"

"Speaking of which, Sima Yan and Sima Ping were quite ruthless!"

"To avoid becoming a burden to their father, he actually self-destructed his Nascent Soul!"

"If Dad and Grandpa hadn't reacted quickly, they would have almost hurt us! They're both crazy!"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap, causing an uproar in the hearts of Lin Yi and the two women behind him!

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. "I'm too late! I didn't expect my father-in-law and his family to be so ruthless!"

Upon hearing the news of their loved one's death, Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun behind them trembled slightly, their breathing becoming erratic.

Shangguan Xue's eyes sharpened, and she was about to examine him closely.

At the critical moment.

Lin Yi reacted incredibly quickly, a sly smile still on his face, but he reached back and pinched both women's buttocks hard, cursing, "Useless things!"

"You get so scared by the slightest noise! ​​Go to the back!"

This interruption diverted Shangguan Xue's attention.

The two women shuddered, instantly snapping back to reality. They bit their lips hard, swallowing back their grief and tears.

"Tsk, so easily frightened."

Lin Yi muttered something to himself, then said with a grin, "Sis, you don't believe me? A direct confrontation won't work. Let me try something different—winning hearts and minds is the best strategy!"

Shangguan Xue's expression softened a bit. "Hmph, you finally know how to contribute to the family."

"Okay, I'll let you give it a try."

"Remember, finding out the whereabouts of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl is key!"

"If we can get the answer, our Shangguan family will achieve great merit and be highly valued by the alliance leader's faction!"

"A Boundary-Breaking Bead?!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately!

Isn't this the spatial treasure that Wei Xian has been talking about?

No wonder the Shangguan family made such a big fuss; it was all for this Boundary-Breaking Pearl!

Lin Yi immediately made up his mind that he had to rescue Sima Hao.

He forced a smile and said, "Come on, sis, come with me and I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

Shangguan Xue waved her hand, "No, the Alliance Leader's special envoy has arrived, and I have to go and greet him."

"This is your pass to the water dungeon. Take it with you."

After saying that, she tossed a black token to Lin Yi, "Remember, you only have one chance."

"If you can't get the answer, get back here and focus on finding your fiancée, Sima Liuying. She's Sima Hao's biggest weakness!"

"Don't worry, sis! I've got your back!"

Lin Yi patted his chest and gave his assurance.

Watching Shangguan Xue turn and walk away, Lin Yi sneered inwardly, "Finally, I've managed to fool this misogynistic woman!"

He was able to get away with it so easily because he had searched the soul of the real Shangguan Yun in the Spirit Spring Space.

I've figured out exactly how this kid talks.

Behind them, Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun suppressed their grief over the murder of their loved ones.

He kept his head down, not daring to reveal the slightest flaw.

Lin Yi hissed, "You two, keep up!"

Holding the pass token, he swaggered toward the water dungeon with two women in tow.

Along the way, the guards saw the token in his hand and his face, but none of them dared to stop him.

Upon reaching the entrance to the water dungeon, the captain of the guards immediately bowed, "Young Master!"

Lin Yi, chin held high and an arrogant expression, pointed towards the gloomy water dungeon, "Take me to see that old bastard Sima Hao!"

The guard captain looked troubled. "Young Master... the Patriarch instructed that without his authorization, no one can..."

"Um?!"

Lin Yi's face darkened, and Shangguan Yun's arrogance resurfaced. He raised the black token, "Open your dog eyes and take a look! This token was given to me personally by my sister! You dare to stop me?!"

The guard captain was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly stepped aside, saying, "No, no! Young Master, please! Please!"

Lin Yi snorted coldly and strode into the water prison with the two women.

Seeing Lin Yi, disguised as Shangguan Yun, swagger into the water dungeon.

Suffering to the point of near death, Sima Hao didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. "You brat from the Shangguan family... what are you doing here?"

"Even your sister and your old, lazy grandfather couldn't get anything out of me, so what ability do you have?"

Seeing her grandfather in such a miserable state, Sima Liuying, who was disguised as a maid, felt her heart bleed, and Sima Qiuyun also had tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Yi's heart sank, and at the same time he sensed that old man Wei Xian's presence was hidden nearby.

"Kid! You finally decided to come!"

Wei Xian's voice transmission rang in Lin Yi's mind.

While maintaining Shangguan Yun's arrogant expression, Lin Yi retorted telepathically, "Old man Wei, this lousy restriction is enough to stump you?"

"You were just standing by and watching when my father-in-law and second uncle confessed?"

Wei Xian was so angry he almost jumped up and down. "Bullshit! It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering the consequences!"

"How powerful can this demon-slaying corpse be? The restrictions on the Shangguan family's water prison are incredibly sinister!"

"Besides, they confessed before I came in; I couldn't have stopped them in time!"

Lin Yi knew that now was not the time to argue.

He flicked out a small bottle of spiritual spring water, which landed precisely where Wei Xian was hiding.

"Alright, enough talk! Take this to restore your strength, hide it for now, and wait for my signal before you make your move!"

After transmitting the message, he finished speaking.

Lin Yi raised his hand and set up a soundproof barrier. Then, his figure blurred, revealing his true form. He rushed to Sima Hao in a few steps, "Grandmaster! It's me! Lin Yi!"

Sima Hao's cloudy old eyes widened suddenly. "It's...it's you?!"

"grandfather!"

"father!"

Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun rushed to the edge of the cage, crying so hard they couldn't speak.

Lin Yi took out a drop of spiritual spring water and gently fed it into Sima Hao's mouth.

The spiritual spring water melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and a surge of immense vitality and pure spiritual energy coursed through his entire body, instantly lifting Sima Hao's spirits!

He stared at Lin Yi in utter shock.

Just who is this kid?

The mysterious expert who rescued Ying'er and Qiu Yun last time seems to be under his command as well.

I don't have much time left... but Ying'er and Qiu Yun are still young.

This young man might be their only hope!

A ruthless thought settled in Sima Hao's mind.

"Lin Yi, you listen to me!"

"If you swear an oath today with your Dao heart that you will protect Liuying and Qiuyun for the rest of your life and never let them suffer the slightest injustice, then I will bestow upon you an immense fortune!"

"Grandpa! No!"

"Dad! Let's go together!"

The two women cried out.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Sima Hao coughed up several mouthfuls of black blood. "Liu Ying, Grandpa doesn't have many days left to live... It's time for me to join your father and your second uncle..."

His gaze was piercing, fixed intently on Lin Yi. "Quick! Swear an oath with your Dao heart! It'll be too late if you wait any longer!"

Lin Yi looked at the fierce determination in the old man's eyes, then glanced at the two women beside him who were crying their eyes out, and sighed inwardly.

He raised his right hand, his expression solemn, "Heaven above, I, Lin Yi, swear on my Dao heart!"

"I will dedicate my life to protecting Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun, and I will never let anyone bully them!"

"If you disobey, may my foundation be completely destroyed, and I be forever condemned to eternal damnation!"

boom!

An invisible shackle descended from the sky and was deeply imprinted into his heart!

Upon hearing the oath, Sima Hao smiled with relief. "Good...good lad...I can rest assured now..."

He suddenly raised his withered hand and, with his last bit of strength, slammed it hard against his dantian!

"Father! No!"

"grandfather!"

"puff!"

A muffled thud!

He forcefully tore open his dantian!

Blood instantly soaked through his robes, and with trembling hands, he pulled a bead the size of a longan from his dantian!

The bead emitted a hazy glow, distorting the surrounding space!

This is the Boundary-Breaking Pearl that caused the Shangguan family to make such a big fuss!
