Chapter 507 You're stalling for time
"Hahahaha... Those foolish women, even in their last moments before death, refused to believe that what they were carrying wasn't the fruit of love, but a freak! A bastard! A monstrous creature destined from birth to devour them completely, leaving not even a trace!"
Huo Yihan was still having a fit of madness.
Rong Shu had already sent a telepathic message to the commander of the Nightmare Suppression Army, Xuanhe, and Qingniao: [Immediately notify the Nightmare Suppression Division, the Divine Wind Dynasty, and the Jixia Academy! Search the city! Especially women who have been missing for a long time and are showing signs of pregnancy!]
[Even if the pregnancy isn't showing, all women should be thoroughly screened, as the incubation period of the Nightmare Clan's parasitic host has likely been extended!]
Back then, after 'killing' Huo Yihan, although it did not alarm the participants of the Heroes' Tournament, it could not be kept secret from the Divine Wind Dynasty.
Wu Hua secretly reported Huo Yihan's half-nightmare identity to the Shenfeng Dynasty. After that, the Shenfeng Dynasty sent a special envoy to the Danxian Sect to conduct a six-month investigation. They also focused on investigating Yan Youwei. Apart from her intense emotions due to Huo Yihan's sudden disappearance, she was otherwise normal.
The people of the Danxian Sect were completely unaware of this.
The fact that a half-nightmare infiltrated the capital of the Divine Wind Dynasty and brazenly participated in the Heroes' Gathering without being detected is a blow to the dynasty's prestige, given that it possesses the divine artifact, the Sun-Chasing Bow. It will also cause the people of Zhongzhou to wonder if the divine power of the national treasure has once again diminished...
The great demonic tide in Buzhou Domain saw the stunning appearance of two national treasures, turning the tide of the battle and reassuring the cultivators of Zhongzhou.
The radiance of the divine artifact still protects Zhongzhou, and protects every person in Zhongzhou who guards their homeland.
Rong Shu immediately informed Leng Mingjing, who was far away at Zhanming Mountain, and Leng Mingjing replied immediately upon receiving the message:
[I will inform the academy and the aristocratic families; keep him calm.]
[The Nightmare Clan is cunning; their deception is only one part truth and nine parts falsehood. Don't be fooled.]
[If possible, find a way to bring 'Yan Youwei' back to her senses. As the parasitic host that Huo Yihan chose to 'resurrect,' she certainly didn't choose it randomly; she is the key to resolving the situation.]
Is it crucial?
Rong Shu looked at Yan Youwei. At this moment, she had been locked inside by the Nightmare Suppression Team's array, but a newborn Nightmare Infant would still wriggle out from beneath her from time to time.
The Nightmare Infant had barely emerged and hadn't even had a chance to bite off a piece of Yan Youwei's flesh when it was swiftly killed by the Nightmare Suppression Team.
only……
Seeing that Senior Brother Sunset's nascent soul was almost swallowed by Yan Youwei, the golden light was about to go out, and nightmare energy was continuously gushing out of Yan Youwei's body.
These nightmare energies are far from ordinary nightmare energies and cannot be neutralized by temporary spiritual energy protection.
Soldiers from the Nightmare Suppression Squad attempted to retrieve Sunset's Nascent Soul, but were nearly injured by the backlash of Nightmare Qi.
But now, with Huo Yihan's threat looming, they cannot directly kill Yan Youwei, the parasitic mother.
Xuanhe also rushed over, trying to take out his Nascent Soul: "Luo Ri, hang in there, we're coming to save you..."
"...Why aren't you attacking? Just kill me already! You're not worried about those pregnant women being drained of their lifeblood and essence by the bastards in their wombs, are you? And then you'll just burst out of their bellies, hahaha!!"
Huo Yihan's laughter was sharp and piercing, as if he were completely immersed in his own fantasy world, his expression revealing a hint of madness.
Rong Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of doubt arising in his heart.
Something is wrong!
Given Huo Yihan's deep cunning, he shouldn't be acting so strangely and erratically.
Of all those present, only Rong Shu had ever dealt with Huo Yihan; the others' impression of the Nightmare Clan was limited to their utter madness and insanity.
Rong Shu reached out and stopped Xuanhe from taking back his nascent soul: "Senior Brother Xuanhe, wait a moment."
"Junior sister, what are we waiting for? Sunset's Nascent Soul is right in front of us!" Xuanhe said urgently.
"The Nightmare Qi on Yan Youwei's body is too corrosive. If you act rashly, Senior Brother Xuanhe, you will get hurt."
Rong Shu understood that Xuanhe wanted to use supernatural powers to forcibly take back Luo Ri's nascent soul, but Xuanhe's supernatural powers were not defensive ones. Even though he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was still easily affected by the backlash from the nightmare energy.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"Senior Brother Xuanhe, let me handle this. I have a way." Rong Shu gathered pure white primordial spiritual energy in his hands, enveloping his entire body down to every strand of hair. Then, he reached out and pried open Yan Youwei's tightly clenched teeth.
Yan Youwei's eyes were bloodshot, and she instinctively tried to resist, but the nightmare energy that surged out was completely devoured by the primordial spiritual energy as soon as it touched it.
Rong Shu held the unconscious Luoyuan infant in his hands and quickly withdrew from the range of the sealing formation.
"Sunset!"
"Sunset, wake up..."
Just as Xuanhe and Qingniao were about to surround him, Rong Shu suddenly threw the 'Nascent Soul' in his hand outwards! At the same time, a purer stream of mixed primordial spiritual energy condensed in his palm and struck the 'Nascent Soul'.
The change happened so suddenly that even Huo Yihan's laughter seemed to have disappeared.
"Jie..."
The next second, a wailing scream, like that of a ghost, came from within the 'Nascent Soul'.
The faint golden light faded, and there was no longer any nascent soul inside, only a deformed nightmare infant that looked like a newly formed embryo.
"Where is Sunset's Nascent Soul?!"
"Impossible! I was clearly watching it the whole time..."
Sunset and Bluebird were both shocked.
Rong Shu's face was grim. She turned to look at Huo Yihan again: "Where exactly is Senior Brother Luo Ri's Nascent Soul?"
Yes.
The nascent soul of the setting sun was constantly emitting light, and its escape in the darkness was undoubtedly a blatant warning to its pursuers of its location.
Huo Yihan couldn't possibly have been unaware of this.
He deliberately pretended to be in a state of broken defense and manic laughter in order to distract everyone's attention. As long as Xuanhe and the others took the fake Nascent Soul without being on guard, he could easily injure another Nascent Soul cultivator.
The parasitic mother body, which devoured most of the flesh and essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, created the Nightmare Infant at such an astonishing speed. What if it devoured another Nascent Soul cultivator?
"...Heh heh, it's a pity he was seen through." Huo Yihan's gaze lingered greedily on Xuanhe's strong body, and he unconsciously licked his lips.
"Just a little bit more, and I could have gotten another piece of flesh and blood from a Nascent Soul cultivator for free. Rong Shu, you really are a menace! I should have poisoned you earlier back in the Heavenly Evolution Sect and killed you!"
Xuanhe was disgusted by that look. "Demon! Where did you hide Sunset's Nascent Soul?!"
Huo Yihan burst into laughter, his tone incredibly irritating: "Guess?"
"The nascent soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator is a great tonic! Of course, I ate it, hahaha! You'll never find your companion's nascent soul again!"
"Oh, I see." Rong Shu suddenly realized, his voice rising: "It was swallowed by Yan Youwei, wasn't it?"
Huo Yihan's laughter stopped abruptly: "..."
Rong Shu continued, "Senior Brother Sunset's supernatural power is [Afterglow Protection], which is a defensive supernatural power. It seems that the parasitic mother body has not yet completely digested Senior Brother Sunset's nascent soul."
"Huo Yihan, why aren't you running away? Why are you staying with the parasitic mother? You've already been resurrected. As long as I don't see you, no one will know you're still alive... So, you're just stalling for time!"
