Banshee Family Training Record

Page 432

To be precise, it was a crimson-gold lightning bolt, accompanied by a deadly blade capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, that slashed toward her body!

In an instant, the woman in green felt a chill run down her spine. She was certain that the power of that strike was enough to kill her!

How could it possess such formidable power?

In an instant, her expression changed drastically. In a panic, she had no choice but to turn around and leap away to dodge.

But just as she was dodging, the endless evil spirits, under the command of the two women who were clearly evil cultivators, rushed forward fearlessly, roaring ferociously, determined to leave her there forever.

At this moment, the woman in green was absolutely certain that this secret realm, teeming with evil spirits, was a trap that the other fragment of the soul had prepared specifically for her.

She cursed the other party inwardly for being despicable and shameless. In order to capture her, they actually joined forces with such evil cultivators. They had no bottom line at all!

Left with no other choice, she wielded her weapon, the blade of spiritual energy swirling around her to repel the evil spirits, allowing her to catch her breath.

But the next moment, the man wielding a Guan Dao and radiating lightning swooped down and attacked her!

"hateful!"

She cursed angrily, not daring to take the blow head-on, and could only retreat hastily. As she retreated, her mind raced. Seeing that her opponent could use lightning magic of such high quality, he didn't seem to be a heretical or demonic cultivator. Her eyes lit up, and a plan immediately came to mind.

The next moment, she suddenly looked up, her tongue like a thunderclap, and roared at the man holding the Guan Dao: "You wield the golden divine thunder, you should be a model of righteousness, why do you associate with these evil demon cultivators who play with ghosts?"

"I believe you would rather walk the righteous path, so why don't we join forces and eliminate them both? No matter how much dirt they have on you, I'm willing to help you clear your name and clear your name afterward!"

She tried to turn the other party against her, but upon hearing this, the woman in the cheongsam sneered: "You think you can turn the master against him?"

"Today, the master's ultimate goal is to capture you on the spot!" (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the main topic.)

Hearing this, the woman in green felt a chill run down her spine. She retreated, staring at the man wielding the guandao (a type of halberd), never imagining that he was the mastermind!

A chill ran through her, and she vaguely realized that she might not be able to get through this hurdle.

As soon as this thought arose in her mind, the man in front of her, who was holding a Guan Dao, exhaled a breath of fresh air. Instantly, three avatars identical to him appeared and surrounded her from all sides, leaving her no chance to turn the tide!

The woman in green desperately summoned all her magical treasures, attempting to fight him with all her might. However, under the mysterious methods of the two evil cultivators beside her, she could only retreat step by step.

Finally, as the man fell from the sky once more, his halberd struck her weapon, and endless divine lightning pierced through her body. Instantly, she let out a mournful cry, and her body gradually became ethereal, on the verge of disintegration.

But then, You Wensi took out a specially made soul banner that was completely blank inside, and used magic to sway it. Instantly, fragments of her soul were absorbed into it and reformed.

Apart from being completely unable to resist, at this moment, she seemed no different from when she was outside.

Thus, the task can be considered complete.

"call……"

Yun Chu'an let out a long breath, silently recited a spell, and put away his three avatars. Then, he glanced around, looked at You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Rong Jieyu also put away her magical artifacts, leaped to his side, smiled, and then pressed her cheek against his shoulder: "It wasn't tiring at all. Ah, the process of subduing this time can be described as quite relaxed and effortless..."

Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and put his arm around You Wensi. Upon hearing this, the latter felt somewhat embarrassed and explained, "There was nothing we could do. Last time, neither of us had any experience fighting against Yan Yao's soul fragments, so it was understandable that an accident occurred."

Just as the woman in green had predicted, this hilltop was now Yun Chu'an's trap for fishing.

Previously, he had already devised a plan to help You Wensi and Rong Jieyu create their own secret realms.

However, this is a long-term project that will take decades to complete. And leaving this half-finished product lying around would be a waste, so Yun Chu'an chose this place so that it could at least contribute something.

These are the fragments of Yin Yanyao's soul.

He needed to lure Yan Yao's soul fragments here, and the cultural environment along the banks of the Wei River was naturally perfect. After all, many years ago, when he still lived here and was cooperating with the Wenren family to develop copper mines, refined copper essence often flowed out.

Although the Wenren family did not know the truth, they could guess that a master craftsman who was proficient in metallurgy lived on Huai Mountain.

There are many rumors and gossip about this master, but Yun Chuan has not deliberately intervened or refuted them.

So now, when he needs to fish, he only needs to spread the word and lead the other party here. After a little inquiry, the other party can be quite certain that Yan Yao's fragments live on this mountain.

Then, they will fall into his trap.

The woman in green was actually the second one. Three months earlier, a woman in yellow had also arrived here with the intention of murdering Yan Yao.

However, compared to the woman in green, the woman in yellow was more cautious. You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, lacking experience in fighting Yan Yao's soul fragments, made numerous mistakes during their ambush, resulting in them being severely injured and nearly allowing their opponents to escape.

In the end, Yun Chu'an was more skilled and managed to subdue her, trapping her in another soul banner for later disposal.

However, after that battle, everyone reflected on and summarized their experiences. That's why imprisoning this woman in blue was so easy today.

Yun Chuan comforted You Wensi and encouraged her. Then he took the Soul Banner, probed into her consciousness, and saw that the woman in green was not unconscious and her spirit had already awakened in the space of the Soul Banner.

When he approached, the woman looked at him coldly, showing no kindness even though she was imprisoned.

Yun Chu'an already knew that, apart from Xiao Yanyao, almost all of her soul fragments had bad tempers and stubbornness, and she didn't know where these bad habits came from.

The woman in yellow had done the same thing, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated. In contrast, the woman in blue from the beginning was actually the easiest to communicate with.

Looking at the woman in green, he tentatively asked, "We have no enmity between us. If you are willing to cooperate, perhaps I can help you find a new and unprecedented path in the future."

The woman in green looked at him coldly and scoffed, "A frog in a well."

Well, that's just his personality again.

Yun Chu'an knew that the communication was unlikely to continue. He simply gave up and stopped talking to the other party, instead taking out another soul banner and probing his consciousness into it.

Here, the woman in blue, whom he had initially captured, was waiting quietly. Seeing him approach, she pursed her lips slightly, her expression somewhat complicated.

Yun Chu'an looked at her and said softly, "You should already know everything that's happened outside, right?"

Sometimes, he himself would find it strange that when facing the woman in blue, he would unconsciously be more patient than the other fragments of Yan Yao's soul.

It seemed that, subconsciously, he still harbored some unrealistic fantasies about her.

The woman in blue knew, of course, since Yun Chu'an hadn't blocked her senses. She pursed her lips, raised her head to look at him, her throat bobbing, but then suddenly turned her face away, saying, "What do you want me to do?"

Yun Chuan said, "I want to know everything about Yan Yao from you."

The woman in blue said, "That means I will dissipate, and the 'self' that I, this fragment, have painstakingly grown will disappear forever."

"Yun Chu'an, you're a smart man. Do you think I'd just agree to this so easily?"

Chapter 844 Fusion Strategy

Without hesitation, Yun Chu'an replied, "I will find a way to help you."

The woman in blue turned her face away, leaving him with only her profile, but she was still pretty and cute: "Then come and tell me when you've thought of a solution."

She seemed to be sulking, but her tone also carried an air of expectation, as if she were waiting for that future where Yun Chu'an would bring a completely new solution and give her a new life.

Yun Chu'an remained silent for a moment, then withdrew his divine sense from the soul banner and returned outside.

Outside, You Wensi cautiously inquired, "Is this new one also refusing to be hired?"

Yun Chu'an nodded slightly. Seeing this, Rong Jieyu beside him said with murderous intent, "Ignorant and arrogant, Master. Since she's so shameless, let me handle this..."

Yun Chu'an shook his head and stopped him, saying, "It's not that time yet, and Yan Yao hasn't grown up yet, so there's no need for it for now."

"Alright, go do what you need to do. I should go back and continue practicing my combination techniques with my third sister."

After his arrangement and his words, Consort Rong could no longer say anything.

The three parted ways, each going about their own business. Yun Chu'an also turned and left, speeding towards the deep mountains, where Nie Ningshuang was still waiting for him.

Before the woman in green was caught, he was in the deep mountains experimenting with different elements in combat with Nie Ningshuang.

That was a secret technique that Su Youling had taught at the Nascent Soul cultivators' exchange conference at the Qingyun Sect. In fact, it wasn't just hers; all the other teachings were recorded by Yun Chuan on jade slips and brought home for circulation.

Among them, Nie Ningshuang was the most proactive and willing to cooperate with him to achieve a method where the power of "one plus one is greater than two".

In simple terms, their combination involves using ultra-low temperatures in conjunction with his lightning magic to weaken the enemy's resistance to lightning, or to make lightning more penetrating.

The two had been experimenting for quite some time, and today was supposed to be just another ordinary day. However, the woman in green suddenly appeared halfway through and called him over, forcing them to stop.

Here, beside the mirror-like lake, Nie Ningshuang was engrossed in reading a jade slip. Her long, pale pink hair looked quite beautiful reflected in the lake's light.

Sensing the movement of his return, she turned her head and asked nervously, "Was it all right?"

She was aware of Yan Yao's situation, and out of familial instinct, she paid close attention to the developments there.

However, with her cultivation level only at the late Golden Core stage, she was hardly able to offer any help on the battlefield.

Yun Chuan landed beside her and nodded: "Successfully, it has been captured."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, then her face fell: "Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help."

Yun Chu'an patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It doesn't necessarily have to be on the front lines. My third sister has already helped me a lot in other areas."

Nie Ningshuang pouted, remaining noncommittal.

She didn't continue on that topic, but instead said, "I studied your jade slip for a long time. Besides the idea of ​​combining ice and lightning magic, there's also a technique in it that allows you to tame elemental spirits and combine them when necessary to launch an attack."

Yun Chu'an nodded: "There is such a method, so I am also making plans to see if I can capture a lightning elemental creature as a pet in the future, and transform it into my elemental lightning armor when necessary to cooperate in battle."

"Of course, its strength must be commensurate with mine."

Nie Ningshuang's expression was subtle as she looked at him: "Does a creature have to be a lightning elemental being to fuse with you and become your partner?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "No, it doesn't necessarily have to be a Thunder Spirit. Perhaps capturing a Fire Spirit or an Ice Spirit, so they can merge with me in crucial moments, could also create an amazing synergy..."

The explosion resulting from the fusion of flames and lightning is also a good strategy for dealing with the enemy. However, it can be quite loud, and the risk of friendly fire can be significant.

He murmured to himself, then Nie Ningshuang's expression tightened slightly: "Um, did you... forget something?"

Yun Chu'an looked up, staring at her in astonishment: "What?"

Nie Ningshuang's pretty face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "That elemental creature, you should actually already know one..."

Yun Chu'an frowned upon hearing this, unaware that he had fallen into a mental rut: "Are you referring to the Xuanhuang Mother Beast? But I've already promised to give it to the Gu family in the desert, and it doesn't seem appropriate to bring it back now."

"Besides, even if it comes back, there's no real cooperation between us. At most, it can use the power of earth element to help me block some damage, which I can do with a few more talismans and magical artifacts. Ultimately, there's no fundamental change..."

His analysis left Nie Ningshuang speechless: "Um, do you remember who I am?"

Yun Chu'an was taken aback: "My third sister, what else?"

Nie Ningshuang sighed, "What's wrong with you? That's not what I meant. I meant... I, I!" (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the initial statement.)

Yun Chu'an was taken aback: "You?"

"That's right, me!" Nie Ningshuang stomped her foot angrily, "I was just a piece of Xuanbing ice, and I only became a spirit after I accidentally awakened my intelligence!"

Yun Chu'an was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh my god... right, you are Xuanbing."

Over the years, as Nie Ningshuang's cultivation level has increased, she has become more and more able to control her instincts, conserve every bit of spiritual energy, and prevent it from being released outwards.

As they spent more time together, he gradually forgot about her flaws and didn't even realize that she was actually a creature born from pure ice elemental essence.

Nie Ningshuang pouted, seemingly a little annoyed: "This is my business, how could you forget about it so easily..."

She muttered something, to which Yun Chu'an gave an awkward laugh and murmured, "I was just thinking about taming elemental pets. My third sister is so noble, how could I dare to think about that?"

Treating my third sister like a pet... Oh dear, what a sin!

He muttered to himself, but fortunately, Nie Ningshuang hadn't noticed this problem yet.

After hearing his explanation, she was no longer upset and continued, "If you have this idea, I can cooperate with you."

"In this way, I can be considered to be able to assist you in your battle."

She said this from the bottom of her heart, genuinely considering his feelings.

Like other members of the family, Nie Ningshuang harbored a certain anxiety. The family's business was developing too fast, because Yun Chuan's cultivation progressed so rapidly that they could hardly keep up with his pace.

Even though her progress has been rapid, the threats her family faces now are all major events that could affect the future of the entire Central Plains.

Asking her to take on responsibilities independently is simply beyond her capabilities. Therefore, she is somewhat anxious and doesn't want to be someone useless to the family.

She wanted to help him too.

Since it's probably impossible for him to stand alone now, she's thinking about whether she can help him achieve greater combat power through support.

This time, the method of joint operation seems to be an opportunity.

For her, it was an opportunity to have the ability to help him.

Her gaze was firm as she looked at Yun Chu'an. The latter was slightly taken aback, then said, "But in that case, you'll have to adapt to my fighting style and rhythm as much as possible, and you'll have to abandon your own autonomy."

Simply put, it means losing her original fighting personality and style, completely losing her ability to stand on her own, and becoming Yun Chu'an's assistant.

However, Nie Ningshuang's gaze remained firm: "I don't care."

This was also her honest opinion, after all, everyone's pursuits are different. Nie Ningshuang had no interest in improving her personal combat power or becoming capable of independently ruling a region.

She only wanted to be a part of the family and to play a beneficial and positive role for the current pillar of the family, namely Yun Chu'an, when she was on the battlefield.

To put it simply, all she wanted was to win. Whether she was the core pillar carrying the main load or a supporting character destined to sacrifice herself was completely irrelevant to her.
