Chapter 57 You're not a mistress!
"So... what are you going to do with me?"
Nana's voice pulled Ye Chenxing back from his reverie.
Ye Chenxing didn't speak. After a surge of mental energy, Nana suddenly realized that she could regain control of her body. She quickly stood up, took a few steps back to the corner, and hugged her chest tightly with both hands.
The feeling of being completely controlled by someone else was extremely uncomfortable, especially given her past experiences, which instilled in her an even stronger, instinctive fear of this experience.
Ye Chenxing looked at Nana, who was huddled in the corner trembling, speechless, and sighed: "Get up first. If someone comes in and sees you, they'll think I did something to you. There are no unspoken rules in our Star Tower."
Nana's voice still trembled slightly, but she couldn't hide her confusion: "Why did you let me go? You knew I was an undercover agent for the Holy Spirit Cult..."
"Who said I let you go?" Ye Chenxing interrupted her.
Nana was taken aback: "Then what is this...?"
Ye Chenxing casually slapped a form onto the table.
"If I keep controlling you like this, how will you fill out the forms? Didn't we just agree that you are now a core member of my Star Tower?"
Nana was completely stunned and didn't come to her senses for a long time. She never expected things to unfold this way.
"What, you've changed your mind?"
Seeing that she was still standing there, Ye Chenxing raised an eyebrow: "You should know that core members of the Star Tower are not allowed to join other organizations."
"So, go contact your supervisor and pick a date. I'll personally take you there to properly 'discuss' your issue of leaving the church."
--------
three days later
A tall, slender figure slowly walked towards the entrance of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Her long black hair was styled into a neat ponytail, and her alluring black outfit concealed much of her graceful figure in the evening light.
She reached the academy gate, whereupon the guard on duty stopped her. Nana, however, remained calm, simply pulling a badge from her pocket. The guard glanced at it, his serious expression instantly transforming into a smile, and stepped aside to let her pass.
It's not easy for ordinary students to freely enter and leave the academy; they need special permission from a headmaster-level teacher. But the dean had already given instructions that members of the Star Tower should be treated specially—especially those whose badges have a large tree printed on them.
That's right. During these three months, Ye Chenxing specially made exclusive badges for core members. Ordinary members wear his three-stroke Command Seal symbol; while the core members' badges are printed with the Imaginary Tree.
Nana walked briskly with ease, her height of over 1.7 meters giving her exceptionally long legs. Although she was just walking, her light steps still gave the feeling of lightning speed.
Even at her pace, it took her a full half hour to slow down. Looking at an inconspicuous building in the distance, she stopped and murmured to herself:
"Just as the Tower Master predicted, after I told them I had successfully infiltrated, they asked me to meet them immediately. But... where is the Tower Master?"
What happened to your promise to personally guide me to leave the church?!
"Missing me?"
A voice suddenly rang in her mind, and Nana shuddered. She subconsciously looked around, but couldn't see a single person.
"Stop looking, I'm talking to you using my soul skill."
Nana finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and unconsciously added a hint of reproach in her voice, "Tower Master! What are you doing! You scared me to death..."
"Isn't your martial soul a ghost? What are you afraid of?"
"That's different!" Nana's ears burned slightly, and she quickly retorted.
"Here it is? It's really dark. At least they've chosen a place that suits their status."
"Go in, don't worry, I have a way to follow you."
The voice beside her was clear and confident. Hearing his voice, Nana felt a sense of security well up in her heart, so she nodded without hesitation.
She did not show herself directly, but first took out a white hood from her bosom and carefully put it on, then put on a bamboo hat with a black veil hanging down, completely covering her face.
After doing all this, she took a deep breath and quickly walked towards the location she had already identified.
The courtyard was inconspicuous among the surrounding buildings. Nana raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, knocking five times in total, three long and two short.
The door quietly opened a crack, and Nana slipped through it in a flash.
The person who opened the door was a man dressed entirely in white.
The courtyard is a hidden gem, with winding paths and various plants growing throughout.
The courtyard was much larger inside than it appeared from the outside. Tall trellises were covered with various plants, which also blocked the view from above. This was a common arrangement in Mingdu, given the many tall buildings there were and the fact that no one wanted to expose their privacy, so they planted these plants to block the view from the high-rise buildings.
The man in white nodded slightly to Nana and stepped aside to let her pass. Nana returned the gesture, but before she had gone far, she suddenly realized that he had been silently following behind her.
Her heart tightened suddenly. This person was an elder of this stronghold, codenamed "Three Holy Spirits". Normally, he would only question a few people coming and going, but today he was unusually following her personally, which was too abnormal.
Nana took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat. No matter what, she couldn't show any weakness at this moment. Besides, the tower master was protecting her in the dark, so she should be fine.
She pretended not to care and walked briskly along a path toward the building with a black dome in the center of the courtyard.
Once inside, she encountered no one else. The Holy Spirit Cult was far less numerous and powerful than it had been in the original timeline. Nana skillfully activated several hidden mechanisms, then turned and arrived at a spacious hall.
In stark contrast to the cramped courtyard on the ground, this place, spanning approximately 300 square meters, felt unusually gloomy and empty, even the air seemed a bit chilly. At the innermost part of the room was a long table, with a person sitting on each side, also dressed in white and wearing a mask, except that their robes had some silver decorative patterns that gleamed coldly in the dim light.
Upon seeing Nana, the two men suddenly stood up from their seats, their eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.
The two men walked up to her in a few steps.
"Holy Servant Number Six pays respects to the Great Holy Spirit and the Two Holy Spirits," Nana said, bowing deeply and very respectfully.
The two exchanged a glance, then eagerly pressed, "So? Did you see that kid?"
Nana reached into her bosom and held the badge in her palm: "Your subordinate has successfully infiltrated the Star Tower."
The two were overjoyed and were about to say something when the two Holy Spirits glanced around and noticed that the three Holy Spirits who had brought Nana had not left, but were instead strolling leisurely around the room.
The Second Holy Spirit's face darkened, and he shouted, "Third Brother, why aren't you guarding the door? What are you dawdling around here for? When did I give you permission to come in? Get back here!"
Nana's heart skipped a beat. The Three Holy Spirits following her weren't arranged by the Great Holy Spirit and the others? Could it be...?
The woman being called "the mistress" seemed oblivious, continuing to wander around the room, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
The two Holy Spirits were utterly enraged, their voices suddenly rising: "Three Holy Spirits! Can't you hear me? Get out of here right now!"
The "other woman" paused, as if just coming to her senses, and muttered something under her breath:
"What? This guy's name is Xiao San? How could he choose such a name? Isn't he afraid of divine retribution...?"
He looked up, a hint of innocent amusement in his voice: "Sorry, I was so engrossed in watching that I started thinking I'd check if anyone was still hiding in your hideout. It wouldn't be fun if a couple escaped."
The Great Holy Spirit's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted sharply, "You're not a mistress! Who are you?"
The Three Holy Spirits smiled slightly. A strange light flowed over his body, and the figure beneath the hood and white clothes rapidly transformed, turning in the blink of an eye into a white-haired youth with burning red eyes and a half-smile on his lips.
"Why are you so serious? Cheer up! Didn't you want to see me?"
"White hair...red eyes...you are Ye Chenxing!"
"You got it right."
Without uttering a single wasted word, Ye Chenxing's two halos suddenly shone brightly beneath his feet—one yellow and one black, yet both exuding a chilling sense of oppression.
A golden light condensed in his palm, and a holy sword materialized, its blade pointing directly at the two holy spirits before shooting out.
The two Holy Spirits' pupils contracted, and they dared not be negligent any longer, immediately releasing their martial spirits.
Six spirit rings rose up—two yellow, two purple, and two black—revealing his cultivation as a Soul Emperor.
He let out a sudden low roar, and all six of his spirit rings simultaneously took on a bizarre, burning appearance, transforming into rolling black flames that engulfed his entire body.
Amidst the black flames, his body suddenly jerked, his robes shattering inch by inch, and his figure abruptly rose to over three meters tall—but all his flesh melted away in the flames, transforming into a gigantic black skeleton.
Green flames flickered in the skull's eye sockets, its aura rising wildly as it prepared to meet the attack. But just then, an invisible force suddenly spread out from Ye Chenxing, with holy light sweeping down and enveloping the entire hall.
The raging black flames around the Second Holy Spirit seemed to have been doused with cold water, suddenly dimming. His wildly rising aura began to plummet, and even his bones made cracking sounds as if they could not bear the weight.
The realm of angels unfolds.
The Great Holy Spirit's expression changed drastically. Almost at the same moment, he felt the soul power within his body melting away like snow under the scorching sun.
The other party actually has a domain!
He gritted his teeth and activated his martial spirit, and six spirit rings lit up on his body, causing six skeletons to crawl out from the ground.
But before he could command the skeletons to pounce, Ye Chenxing suddenly turned her head, her red eyes coldly sweeping over him.
The Great Holy Spirit's mind went blank, as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the six skeletons crumbled and fell to the ground, turning into white bones. As an evil soul master who manipulated souls, a second-ring soul master was able to severely injure his soul with a single glance!
The Second Holy Spirit caught a glimpse of the Great Holy Spirit's instant injury out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat. Seeing no hope of rescue, he steeled himself and cursed, "Damn it! Do you think I'm afraid of a mere Great Soul Master like you? So what if it's the Ultimate Light? Die!"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt an unknown sense of terror rising in his heart. Ye Chenxing's fate-stripping had already been activated. Under the combined effect of the angelic realm, the two holy spirits were more vulnerable than ever before.
But he had no time to think it through; Ye Chenxing's holy sword was already upon him.
He hastily swung his arm to block, and two skeletal arms formed from black flames met the sword's edge—but at the moment of contact, he finally realized how utterly wrong he had been.
The holy sword struck, and the skeletal arm melted away like paper in an instant. The sword light swept across his body, and half of the skeletal form vanished in golden light.
The two Holy Spirits let out a hysterical scream and dragged their broken bodies backward at high speed.
Ye Chenxing gave him no chance to catch his breath. The six-winged angel martial spirit behind him was no longer concealed. Three pairs of pure white wings suddenly unfolded, and with a flap in mid-air, his figure suddenly accelerated, like a white lightning bolt. He waved his left hand, and the dark golden claws shot out. Five dark golden rays cut through the air and accurately swept across the necks of the two holy spirits.
Bone fragments flew everywhere as the skull of the Second Holy Spirit spun and flew up, the green flames in its eye sockets slowly dying out as it fell.
Feeling the evil soul power on the other party being purified and absorbed by his angelic martial soul, Ye Chenxing took a deep breath, slowly turned his head, and focused his gaze on the Great Holy Spirit.
Nana was completely dumbfounded. She had thought that Ye Chenxing would ask her teacher or a high-level soul master from the Star Tower to come with him today, but she never expected that he would come alone. A great soul master had actually killed a soul emperor-level evil soul master in the blink of an eye.
Is this the ultimate light? Can the difference between martial souls really bring such a terrifying improvement? But what about those wings?
Could it be an externally attached soul bone?
Before Nana could figure it out, the Great Holy Spirit beside her had recovered from the excruciating pain of his soul injury. He immediately saw that the Second Holy Spirit, whose cultivation was similar to his own, was already decapitated. Fear instantly climbed up his spine, and without thinking, he turned and ran.
Ye Chenxing raised an eyebrow. This Great Saint Spirit was quite self-aware, but unfortunately, he had no intention of letting go of this Soul Emperor-level experience pack. With another flap of his wings, he drew his sword and gave chase.
As he drew ever closer, the Great Holy Spirit finally broke down and cried out in a hoarse voice:
"Two seniors!!! Help me!!"
Nana's heart skipped a beat—the other side actually had a master!?
However, the expected savior did not appear. Ye Chenxing activated the mental link again, and the Great Saint Spirit felt his sea of consciousness tremble violently, almost shattering. The intense pain lasted only a moment; the next second, he clearly saw his body moving further and further away from him.
Another sword strike, and the head is severed.
Ye Chenxing felt the evil soul power within the other party being drawn out and slowly merging into his first soul ring, and nodded in satisfaction. Right now, all the evil soul masters are lying low; if this opportunity is missed, it will likely be a long time before a second batch is found in Mingdu.
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity today.
