What the hell is going on?
At this moment, Li Xuan, still trembling, looked at Tuoba Yan who had gone limp on the ground. Although the experience had only lasted for a few breaths, Li Xuan felt as though he had never been so close to death before.
What puzzled Li Xuan even more was that he, who possessed the strength of the Karma Realm, was utterly powerless to resist!
Tuoba Yan, in that state, was unbelievably powerful, incredibly strong!
"Young Master, why don't we kill her while we have the chance?" the Heavenly Dao Brush suggested.
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment. Looking at Tuoba Yan on the ground, he finally shook his head. Li Xuan knew that if it weren't for that voice just now, he would probably be dead by now. Moreover, Li Xuan now understood that there was a powerful being residing within Tuoba Yan.
The one in charge now was the timid Tuoba Yan that Li Xuan had seen before.
Although Li Xuan had a high probability of killing her at this moment, who knew if the powerful Tuoba Yan had any backup plans? Besides, Li Xuan truly couldn't bring himself to betray a kindness shown to him.
"Are you alright?" Li Xuan asked, looking at Tuoba Yan.
"N-no problem." Tuoba Yan struggled to sit up, her gaze towards Li Xuan somewhat evasive.
Li Xuan sighed helplessly and said, "Now, can you tell me what's going on?"
Tuoba Yan fell silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan finally understood after Tuoba Yan's explanation.
Just as Li Xuan had guessed, there was indeed a powerful being within Tuoba Yan. And this terrifyingly strong being was Tuoba Yan's elder sister. To Li Xuan's surprise, they actually shared one body.
"Young Master, based on what she said, I'm reminded of a rather peculiar physique. Dual soul bodies, I didn't expect them to actually exist," the Heavenly Dao Brush remarked.
"Dual soul bodies?" Li Xuan asked in his mind with some surprise.
The Heavenly Dao Brush replied, "To put it plainly, it's two soul bodies in one body. This is quite different from those with split personalities, as most people with multiple personalities suffer from delusions, creating problems for themselves.
"But dual soul bodies are two genuinely existing soul bodies. Generally, both can control the body. However, on the other hand, there are always distinctions between individuals. Her sister has taken all the good talents and potential. Therefore, the younger sister, Tuoba Yan, can only be an ordinary mortal."
Li Xuan began to understand, but if that were the case, wouldn't the younger sister, Tuoba Yan, not live long? After all, the lifespan of an ordinary mortal was at most a hundred years, which was considered old age.
"Young Master, your thought is good, but from what I observed just now, the relationship between the sisters seems very harmonious. Otherwise, if the younger sister had spoken, the elder sister could have simply ignored her. It's somewhat beyond my expectation that two soul bodies could be so affectionate," the Heavenly Dao Brush commented.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with the Heavenly Dao Brush. If that weren't the case, he would have been dead by now.
"Can I speak with your sister?" Li Xuan asked, after some thought, looking at Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan fell silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
After Tuoba Yan finished speaking, she closed her eyes. The next moment, a terrifying aura instantly permeated the air. Li Xuan felt a bit intimidated seeing this, but he still looked directly at Tuoba Yan. Li Xuan knew that his earlier conversation with the sister must have been overheard.
"Speak, what do you want to discuss with me?" As expected, Tuoba Yan, in her sister's persona, opened her eyes and looked at Li Xuan coldly.
Li Xuan immediately replied, "With your strength, why are you here? Furthermore, what are your plans next?"
The Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "My situation is rather unique. This body cannot withstand it. Leaving this place is also impossible for this body. As for my next plan, it's to follow you."
Li Xuan was stunned. Follow him? Why? Li Xuan didn't want such a ticking time bomb around him at all times. After all, based on their two encounters, the Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona was not at all easy to deal with.
However, Li Xuan quickly realized that if he didn't agree, would the Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona let him go?
"Don't worry, even if you don't agree, I won't kill you," the Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona said with a smile, as if she had read Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan let out a bitter smile. Was this a warning? But considering that the younger sister, Tuoba Yan, had pleaded for him just now, and that she was mortal, it would be truly difficult for her to survive in this chaotic land without anyone to look after her.
"Fine, I agree," Li Xuan said with a sigh.
The Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona immediately nodded with a smile and said, "You agreed to this yourself. Also, you can place me in your space. I can sense that the flow of time there is very slow. It would be very suitable for my sister."
Li Xuan felt a headache coming on. Even his greatest secret had been discovered. However, since it had come to this, Li Xuan didn't have any reservations and nodded. Moreover, Li Xuan had his own small ambitions. Within the Demon Prison, he was the one in charge.
"Given how cooperative you are, if we encounter any danger, I can spare your life. The premise is that you can take good care of my sister," the Tuoba Yan in her sister's persona stated.
Li Xuan smiled. After talking for so long, he finally received a not-so-bad promise.
"Are you done talking?" Tuoba Yan asked again when Li Xuan nodded. Li Xuan immediately understood that this was the younger sister's persona.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "We're done. From now on, you'll follow me. However, for your safety, I plan to house you in the place you entered before."
Tuoba Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Li Xuan willed it, and brought Tuoba Yan into the first level of the Demon Prison.
"You have a mortal body, unlike your sister. Therefore, living here is most suitable for you. The flow of time here is different from the outside world, so you don't need to worry about anything. As for your meals, I will arrange them for you," Li Xuan said.
"Can I still go out?" Tuoba Yan asked, looking up at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Of course, you can. If you want to go out for some fresh air, you can find me anytime. Also, once I leave this chaotic land, you can go wherever you wish."
"Okay." Tuoba Yan's expression relaxed, and she nodded in agreement.
Li Xuan felt a lot more at ease. The bamboo house he had taken from the deep mountains earlier would be perfect for Tuoba Yan to live in. Then, with a thought, the Prison Spirit also appeared before Li Xuan. After giving some simple instructions, Li Xuan left the Demon Prison.
Returning to his room, Li Xuan sat down and began to ponder.
Should he stay in this Heavenly Chasm City, or leave?
