Chapter 409: No Hands Allowed

At this moment, Jiang Yun had no idea that Fang Yuxuan and Gui Li had already teamed up to deal with him.

All his focus was on the middle-aged man in front of him, not daring to be distracted at all.

In his mind, Bai Ze kept emitting piercing screams that could shatter eardrums.

"Heavens, heavens, there’s actually a spirit from the Sky Blessed Realm. Kid, why aren’t you running yet? What are you standing there foolishly for!"

"Run, run as far as you can, you are no match for the Sky Blessed Realm now, hurry, run!"

Bai Ze’s screams made Jiang Yun smile bitterly, facing the Sky Blessed Realm, he had no chance of escaping.

Moreover, it seemed that the other party had always been by his side, but he was completely unaware of it.

If he hadn’t intentionally deceived the other party earlier, he would probably still be silently following him.

Although Jiang Yun had previously suspected that the other party belonged to this world and was a powerful being from the Sky Blessed Realm, he never expected that it would be a spirit!

Of course, he was different from the usual shadow spirits, as he still had his own consciousness!

But Jiang Yun wasn’t too surprised by this, it must be because of the other person’s high level.

Bai Ze once said that the Sky Blessed Realm is a realm protected by the heavens.

In simple terms, the other person is very likely the strongest being in this world, able to harness the power of this land.

Even though this world had been swallowed by the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast, he managed to retain his consciousness due to his strong power, or some other unknown reason.

The two of them stared at each other, not saying a word. Jiang Yun could clearly feel that the other person’s gaze held a scrutinizing meaning.

After a moment passed and the shadow spirit still remained silent, Jiang Yun had to speak first, asking directly, "I have no grudges with you, why do you keep sending people to kill me?"

Hearing Jiang Yun’s question, the shadow spirit’s strange smile grew even stronger, and he directly replied, "Because your body is very suitable for me!"

As the shadow spirit spoke with that hoarse voice, Jiang Yun could confirm even more that he was the one who had spoken before.

However, Jiang Yun furrowed his brow in concern.

To possess their own body, one could only do so by taking over someone else’s body in the form of a soul body, like a spirit returning to a body, in order to continue living.

Although Yin spirits are not the same as souls, they do have similarities, which is why Jiang Yun could understand the idea of possessing another body.

Jiang Yun couldn’t understand why someone would want to possess a living person’s body, only to try and kill him.

Moreover, with the power of the other person from the Sky Blessed Realm, it seemed unnecessary to involve Yin spirits and manipulate Mountain-Sea World cultivators to try and kill him.

Unexpectedly, the Yin spirit voluntarily provided an answer, "Once I make a move, these mists will invade my body, causing me to lose my last bit of consciousness and become a complete Yin spirit!"

While Jiang Yun still didn’t fully comprehend, he was beginning to grasp the situation.

In this world, including the bodies of Yin spirits, everything is actually made up of ubiquitous grey mists.

And these mists are likely the key to how Shadow Spirit Realm Beasts give birth to Yin spirits!

The Sky Blessed Realm cultivator was able to keep their consciousness by preventing the mist from fully entering their body, even though they were also affected by the dark spirits.

But if he intervened, he would be vulnerable to the mist!

That’s why he could only control the dark spirits and needed to rely on others to try to kill himself!

The dark spirit spoke again, "I can only possess the bodies of the dead, and among the people who came here, I have chosen your body!"

Jiang Yun finally understood, but he was cautious and didn’t fully believe what the other said, so he remained vigilant, asking, "Since you can’t act directly and can’t use others to kill me, what are your plans now?"

The dark spirit chuckled strangely and replied with a question, "Don’t play tricks with me. You called me out, so what’s your plan?"

To reach the Sky Blessed Realm, one must have lived for at least a thousand years, all of them are clever and cunning monsters. Even though he had become a dark spirit, he could easily see through Jiang Yun’s intentions.

Indeed, this was the case!

Jiang Yun had a purpose in asking the other to reveal himself, even going as far as intentionally driving away all the others.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun calmly said, "I originally wanted to make a deal with the senior, hoping that the senior could allow me and my fellow disciples to leave this realm!"

The dark spirit smirked and said, "Now, that can still be done!"

Jiang Yun squinted slightly, staring firmly at the other person and asked, "Are you suggesting that I sacrifice myself to save my fellow disciples?"

"It’s not exactly a sacrifice!" The dark spirit blinked and said, "Apart from one person in this realm who can kill you, nobody else can harm you. And I cannot control that person either, so I’ve changed my mind!"

These words stirred something in Jiang Yun’s heart again. Among the thousand cultivators in the Mountain-Sea World, someone being able to kill him was not uncommon. But for the other person to be so certain, even unable to control them, meant that this person must be extremely powerful.

However, Jiang Yun also knew that the other party probably wouldn’t tell him who that person is, and he currently had no interest in other matters.

The dark spirit continued, "You must have noticed that this realm has been heavily corrupted. To leave, I have to personally create an exit."

"But once I make a move, I will completely turn into a dark spirit, and the one who will be sacrificed then will be me, not you!"

Jiang Yun, puzzled, asked, "Senior, what exactly do you mean? Please be direct!"

"Let me enter your soul!"

"Don’t worry, as long as you’re alive, I cannot possess you. I can only enter your soul, using the cover of your strong life force to block the gray mist, so that I can act and find a way out."

"By then, you and your fellow disciples can leave, but you must take me with you. Promise me that after leaving this realm, you will help me find a suitable body!"

"Enter my soul?" Jiang Yun squinted his eyes slightly. "I wonder if it will have any effect on me."

"At most, it will just make you slightly weaker."

Jiang Yun didn’t respond immediately. He lowered his head, pretending to be in thought, but in reality, his mind was racing.

Up to this point, he could at least be certain of the other party’s intentions – to seize his body and leave this realm.

But the fact that they couldn’t act meant they were definitely hiding something.

Not being able to act should simply mean not being able to use spirit energy. Yet the other party was constantly concealed in the void. This couldn’t be an innate ability; it must also consume spirit energy.

However, the other person must have certain unknown limits on their actions, which is why they appeared and wanted to make a deal with him.

But at least one thing the other person should not have lied about was that he really needed to rely on him if he wanted to leave this world with all his fellow practitioners.

However, letting the other person enter his soul would definitely not be as simple as he claimed, it wouldn’t just make him slightly weaker.

He might even truly take over his body and replace him!

Bai Ze also yelled frantically, "Kid, you must not agree to him, he definitely has ulterior motives. Letting him enter your soul would be like inviting a wolf into your home, getting rid of him would be difficult!"

Just when Jiang Yun was about to ask Bai Ze how powerful the Sky Blessed Realm really was, he suddenly looked up and found that the shadow of that sinister spirit had disappeared from in front of him.

This made Jiang Yun’s heart skip a beat, and then a sense of life and death crisis arose.

Jiang Yun suddenly turned around and saw two figures and a golden sword aura in his line of sight!
