1076. Someone intervened.
Then, Yan Xiwen, who had already been controlled, appeared leisurely, hovering in mid-air with his hands behind his back. He looked at the group of people in front of him and said casually, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to bully children. I keep my word, so your actions against me are considered a favor. Besides, you guys did a great service by rescuing me. Once I find my ideal body, I will set this person free."
Although he said those words, the other six people on the trip all looked extremely grim. They had come together seeking opportunities, but not only had they gained nothing they expected, they had also had their bodies possessed by this man. While his words sounded plausible, these men dared not believe him at all; they absolutely could not gamble with their friend's life. Yan Xiwen's status within Guiyuan Prefecture was not simple; if he left like that, they would have no way to explain it to their sect.
Just as Yan Xiwen released the soul suppression, freeing the group, Tang Meng subtly activated her storage ring and retrieved a jade talisman.
To ensure the safety of its disciples, Guiyuan Prefecture issues teleportation jade talismans to those who reach higher ranks. However, activating these talismans requires an extremely high amount of contribution points. Although their lives are not currently in danger, allowing Yan Xiwen to be taken away like this would be completely unacceptable within the sect.
Just as Tang Meng was about to use the teleportation jade talisman, Yan Xiwen smiled slightly. He had completely taken control of the body he was in, and with a flick of his right hand, his soul power, like tree branches, instantly trapped and tightened around Tang Meng, who was about to move.
Even the jade talisman was taken by Yan Xiwen. After playing with it for a while, he murmured, "Little ones, it's best not to do anything unnecessary. Although I am mild-mannered, I can't tolerate everything."
Now that Yan Xiwen was under someone else's control, he didn't rush to leave after doing everything. With a slight movement of his fingers, he pulled Yan Yu in front of him.
"Judging from your appearance, you are the leader of this team. Tell me, what is the current situation on the mainland?"
Yan Yu's movements were now restricted; he no longer even had the ability to crush spatial jade talismans, and his companions were all in this person's hands, leaving him no choice but to cooperate. He began to explain the current situation on the continent in detail. When he mentioned Guiyuan Prefecture, Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, but then still revealed the general strength of Guiyuan Prefecture, and also mentioned that Yan Xiwen was a descendant of the Yan Clan. His purpose was simple: he hoped that the person before him would not make things difficult for Yan Xiwen out of respect for Guiyuan Prefecture.
"This little guy is actually a descendant of a Dou Di. No wonder he is the most suitable one for me to possess in my perception."
Seeing this, Yan Yu persisted, unwilling to give up, saying, "Senior, we will do our best to resolve your possession issue. Guiyuan Mansion certainly has the capability. If you are truly unwilling, the experts of Guiyuan Mansion will definitely investigate to the end!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiwen burst into laughter: "Little fellow, you have quite the nerve to threaten this old man."
"Don't think that just a few of you here are enough to prove anything. Even if the real descendant of a Dou Di came, I wouldn't give him any face!"
Having said that, Yan Xiwen had a pretty good grasp of the information he wanted. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice ring out in his ear, extremely strange and unpredictable.
"Oh? I'm right in front of you now. Let's see if you'll give me that face."
Yan Xiwen's expression changed upon hearing this. He activated his soul perception to its fullest extent, but before he could even detect the strange presence, a very eerie aura appeared beside him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a tiny bolt of lightning.
He sensed no danger from the lightning; it seemed to be just an ordinary bolt of lightning. Yet, precisely because of this, he became extremely vigilant—if it were truly ordinary lightning, how could it have reached him so silently?
He swiftly flicked his sleeves, unleashing his soul power to envelop the lightning, while his physical body retreated behind him without a care. But immediately, that voice, like a leech clinging to bone, rang in his ears again.
"Trying to run? Can you outrun lightning?"
In fact, Yan Xiwen's speed was already quite fast. In just a breath or two, he had already retreated several miles. The spatial vortex had even opened in front of him, and with just a little distance, he could leave this place completely.
Unfortunately, a streak of blue-black lightning became the most eye-catching element of the entire event!
The lightning seemed to come from the distant horizon, its origin and destination impossible to discern. In a mere instant, the lightning crossed the limits of what was visible, striking Yan Xiwen's body firmly just before he entered the spatial vortex.
The terrifying power of the lightning piercing his heart instantly rendered Yan Xiwen powerless to resist, causing him to faint. All his soul defenses were as fragile as paper before this bolt of lightning, leaving him no choice but to collapse helplessly.
His last thought before he fainted was: How could I be so unlucky?
This turn of events was unexpected by everyone. Yan Yu and the others were not unconscious, and only then did they see who had unleashed this attack.
It was a huge figure, wearing a specially made oversized robe. If it weren't for the mocking smile on his lips, they wouldn't have believed that this person had so calmly subdued Yan Xiwen, who was possessed by such a bizarre soul.
They had just tried their best, but they were still being manipulated!
The burly man held a blue-purple thumb ring in his right hand, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked in the direction where Yan Xiwen had fallen. With a surge of his fighting spirit, he immediately pulled Yan Xiwen to his side.
Looking at Yan Xiwen, who had already fainted and was powerless to resist, he gently blew on the blue-purple ring on his right hand and said casually, "Looking down on the descendants of the imperial family, you have quite the big mouth. It's a pity that you're just a soul clinging to life. You should be proud that I personally took action against you."
"Thank you for your help, senior. I am Yan Yu from Guiyuan Prefecture. May I ask your honorable name?"
The burly man waved his hand casually, then put on an approachable smile and said, "I am Lei Qingyue of the Lei Clan. I know who you are, after all, there are very few Yan Clan members left on the continent these days."
The name of the Lei Clan, and the awe-inspiring scene of this person's attack, left the members of this small team astonished by their good fortune. Currently, the relationship between Guiyuan Prefecture and the Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Shi Clan is fairly good. Furthermore, because of Lei Jingxiao, they naturally feel a sense of kinship towards the Lei Clan.
