Chapter 465: Chapter 457: I Want to Help You Cultivate, Xiao Shenke’s Redemption
It wasn’t just the two Martial Saint masters; even the two Destiny Golden Dragons were behaving the same way. Yang Chan couldn’t make sense of it.
"Can’t this Magic Array be broken?"
Yang Chan glanced at the Taiyin Saintess, who was following him at a leisurely pace, and asked.
Now that he had another problem on his hands, he figured he might as well make this problem do something useful.
"It can be broken. From the inside, it would only take two Martial Saint masters attacking in unison. From the outside, it would require less power."
"This Magic Array is primarily meant to prevent the battle’s shockwaves from spreading too far."
"Neither the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty nor the Jin Meng Empire can accept the collateral damage, and the two Destiny Golden Dragons would be affected even more severely."
"If a Destiny Golden Dragon is destroyed, the nation’s destiny will perish along with it. At that point, the Imperial Dynasty is essentially beyond saving."
"Even a National Guardian Martial Saint would be impacted, and could very well perish completely as a result."
The Taiyin Saintess kept pace with Yang Chan, explaining all this while trying to gauge his Combat Power.
To be honest, she would much prefer it if Yang Chan were willing—or better yet, proactive. In the Dual Cultivation Method, the active partner gains far greater benefits.
The passive partner’s gains are mediocre, and they might even suffer a backlash.
Unless it was a last resort, she really didn’t want to force the issue.
She didn’t mind sharing this relatively worthless information with Yang Chan. Besides, with his current strength, he couldn’t break the Magic Array anyway.
"If you want to get away from the battlefield and avoid the fallout, I can take you somewhere you definitely won’t be affected."
"As for the condition... you already know what it is."
"I truly think highly of you. You have a limitless future, but you haven’t fully matured yet. With my help, you could certainly avoid a lot of trouble."
The Taiyin Saintess watched Yang Chan, her persuasive words flowing without end.
She was like a wealthy matron who owned dozens of buildings, offering Yang Chan all sorts of lavish conditions—houses, cars, you name it.
The only difference was, a matron would just want his body, whereas this woman wanted much, much more.
Going with her might mean temporary safety, but whether he could ever come back was another question entirely.
Yang Chan had no desire to experience a "redemption" like Xiao Shenke’s.
This woman clearly had malicious intentions and a bad reputation. Yang Chan could simply filter out everything she said.
Even if she were sincere and not lying, she would undoubtedly have numerous ways to control him. Once inside her lair, Yang Chan would have little to no power to resist. As long as he wasn’t a complete fool, he would never make such a choice.
"You certainly are persistent, Saintess. But I don’t have the physique you’re looking for, so I’m not nearly as valuable as you think!"
Yang Chan glanced back at the battlefield behind him. Still feeling unsafe, he continued moving forward.
At the same time, he silently circulated a Flying Needle, waiting for the right moment to land a vicious strike on the Taiyin Saintess.
He planned to replicate the same trick he had used on Baili Star of the Myriad Beasts Dao. That would certainly deepen the "connection" between them. Afterward, he would just need to clean up his tracks, find a suitable opportunity, and escape.
He refused to believe this battle could possibly rage on for three days and three nights. Once he got back, he would prepare to head for the Merak Sacred Land to avoid getting dragged into this mess again.
Of course, if the battle ended and peace returned to the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, he wouldn’t mind staying a while longer.
His Cultivation at the Inner Refining Five Viscera Level was still a bit weak, especially for a place like a Holy Land. Things would be much more secure if he reached the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster realm.
Furthermore, his Meditation and Breath Holding Technique, a Convergence Skill for Concealing Breath, still needed improvement; he felt it was no longer sufficient.
The Taiyin Saintess’s methods had been surprising, but the bigger issue was that his Convergence Skill was insufficient to completely conceal his aura. If it had been, he never would have run into her in the first place, and he wouldn’t be in this mess now.
"You’re worth spending a little more time on!"
"You can see for yourself. This battlefield is like an asset liquidation, sweeping through one place after another. In the end, the only places left might be a small corner of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty’s Jinyun City and a small patch of that city in the Jin Meng Empire."
"I can take you to that safe area within the Jin Meng Empire, where you won’t be affected by the battle here."
The Taiyin Saintess didn’t give up. She hadn’t sensed any danger yet, so she naturally continued to follow Yang Chan.
She had considered making a move, but the flaws he revealed felt like a deliberate trap, as if he were just waiting for her to attack. Thus, she refrained from acting rashly.
Just as she’d said, she was willing to spend a little more time on Yang Chan.
In the Taiyin Saintess’s eyes, Yang Chan was far stronger than Ji Boduan, a Direct Disciple of the Taiyin Holy Sect. The two of them weren’t even in the same league.
Ji Boduan had not only betrayed her, but his Cultivation progress with the Primordial Supreme Yang Scripture had been slow. He had yet to form the Primordial Supreme Yang Body and was now completely useless to her.
Even if he had managed to form the Primordial Supreme Yang Body, it would have been of little help to her after her Nine Nether Ancient Primordial Body had already been "broken" once. That was why she had killed him in the most brutal way imaginable.
BOOM!
The distant battlefield shifted erratically again, its position changing so unpredictably that it was impossible to see what was happening. Yang Chan wasn’t using his Soul Body to observe at this moment, because he was still planning on giving the Taiyin Saintess a little "gift."
’She’s been following me for this long... She’s really asking to die.’
’The information she gave me only bought her this much extra time.’
BOOM!
Another explosion echoed. Yang Chan’s brow furrowed. ’These people are fighting too frequently.’ But he soon realized something was wrong, because this sound seemed to come from a great distance away from the main battlefield.
A thought struck Yang Chan, and he quickly turned to look. What he saw was both surprising and exhilarating.
"Strange. Why would someone else join the battle at a time like this? Now is not a good time to get involved."
"Besides, the major Holy Lands shouldn’t be interfering. Don’t tell me another Imperial Dynasty has decided to intervene."
The Taiyin Saintess turned her head and saw ripples spreading across the Law itself. These were not the traces of the clash between the two Martial Saint masters and the Destiny Golden Dragons. To be precise, these marks didn’t originate from inside the Magic Array at all, but from the outside.
She had told Yang Chan earlier that it was easier to break the array from the outside, but she never thought someone would actually try it at a time like this. After all, participating in a war over an Imperial Dynasty’s national destiny was no small matter. One careless move, and you could be wounded by that very same national destiny.
Even if they were to gain something from it, it would be a huge hassle for anyone from the major Holy Lands. There was simply no need to get involved; it was far better to just wait and see how things played out.
