Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 147: Soul Fusion, Heart in Tandem

Under the moonlight, Lin Fengmian and Elder Xie stood facing each other in the empty square, dust swirling around them.

Lin Fengmian’s tall and slender figure was clad in a white robe that fluttered in the night breeze.

He supported Wen Qinlin with one hand and held his sword with the other, looking remarkably distinguished.

Across from him, Elder Xie’s white hair danced in the wind, wrinkles were etched on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, and his black gold long sword radiated intense flames.

He suddenly burst into laughter, “You are truly formidable, young man. I did not expect you to hide such depth, a true sword master.”

Lin Fengmian’s eyes shone like stars, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile.

“Elder Xie, you are flattering me. I’m not a sword master, just a little stronger than the trash behind you.”

Qin Haoxuan stared at the formidable Lin Fengmian in shock, unable to comprehend how he could suddenly become so powerful.

He suddenly remembered what Lin Fengmian had said to him on the boat, and a chill ran down his spine.

He wanted to kill him, and no one could save him.

Lin Fengmian noticed his expression and smiled, “Qin Haoxuan, give me the Demon Core and the Little Fox, and I won’t give you any trouble.”

Qin Haoxuan hesitated and looked at Elder Xie.

Elder Xie smiled slightly, “Young master, you go first. I’ll take care of this.”

Seeing this, Qin Haoxuan didn’t dare to linger and quickly said, “Don’t forget to come back when you’re done!”

Elder Xie didn’t turn his head, just grunted in acknowledgement, his black gold long sword emitting a searing light.

Seeing Qin Haoxuan flee with his minions and the little fox, Lin Fengmian took a step forward.

However, Elder Xie stood his ground, his eyes like lightning, his gaze filled with fighting intent, “Your opponent is me!”

Lin Fengmian slowly raised his long sword, his voice cold, “You want to stop me?”

Elder Xie laughed heartily, “Young man, although I don’t know what secret technique you used to gain such power, it must have taken a toll on you. You can’t control that power for long.”

“I admire you. Dispel the secret technique, stay and chat with me, and I’ll let you go.”

Lin Fengmian’s heart sank as he could not help but admire the old man’s keen insight.

Elder Xie’s words were true. Lin Fengmian’s current situation was indeed dire.

He had violently used the Demon Emperor Technique to absorb Wen Qinlin’s power, but he couldn’t control it properly.

His meridians could only handle the spiritual energy of the Foundation Realm, and he couldn’t bear the spiritual energy of the Core Formation Realm in Wen Qinlin.

Every thread of spiritual energy that flowed through him felt like it was being cut by a knife, causing immense damage to his internal meridians.

In addition, due to the self-destruction of the fox demon, Wen Qinlin’s spiritual energy had become extremely chaotic, which was why he had fallen unconscious.

This chaotic spiritual energy surged wildly within him, tearing apart his fragile meridians.

He couldn’t control this spiritual energy like Luo Xue could, it was like a child wielding a knife.

If he continued to absorb Wen Qinlin’s power, it would only harm him first, like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Lin Fengmian calmly asked, “Luo Xue, do you have any ideas? Otherwise, I might have to give up on the little fox.”

Wen Qinlin was already saved, and Xia Yunxi was safe. He felt satisfied.

Although he wanted to help the little fox, his main concern was to protect the people around him.

If he continued to fight Elder Xie, he would definitely fall before Elder Xie, and he might suffer irreparable injuries.

He had done his best. If there was no other choice, he would protect the people he cared about.

Life is about making choices. Trying to protect everything would lead to losing everything.

Luo Xue said firmly, “No, we have to take the little fox back. Without it, we can’t stop so many beasts.”

Lin Fengmian knew that Luo Xue was right. Now that the fox demon was dead, these beasts who only followed dead orders would continue to massacre the city.

They really couldn’t handle everything. By the time they killed all the beasts, most of the townspeople would be dead as well.

That is, unless a new higher demon gave these beasts new orders, like the little fox demon in Qin Haoxuan’s hands.

Lin Fengmian nodded but remained calm, asking, “So, do you have a way to deal with it?”

“If there is a way, I don’t mind going crazy with you once. Otherwise, I can only save as many as I can.”

After a moment’s thought, Luo Xue said, “The twin fish pendant contains one of my sword energy. Releasing it can kill him, but there’s only one chance. You must trap him.”

“In the process, you might suffer serious damage to your essence, but I have a way to help you recover. Are you willing to take that risk?”

Lin Fengmian silently took out a rope from his storage ring and tied Wen Qinlin to his back.

He carried Wen Qinlin and walked forward step by step, his steps firm and his voice calm.

“Since there is a way, what is there to fear?”

Luo Xue smiled and asked, “Aren’t you very afraid of death?”

Lin Fengmian laughed, “I am very afraid of death, but I trust you. And I promised Brother Wen and the others to protect the townspeople.”

“I promised Yun Xi to bring the little fox back to her. Since I can’t die, what is there to fear?”

Although he spoke the truth, it wasn’t his entire thought.

As Zhao Yazhi had said, Lin Fengmian and she were the same kind of people, full of pride and unable to tolerate failure.

He couldn’t tolerate the fact that he had worked so hard for so long, only to fail in the end and have the gains taken away by that loser Qin Haoxuan.

He couldn’t swallow that.

But he couldn’t tell this to Luo Xue, who knew if she would accept it.

He didn’t want Luo Xue to be angry with him again.

Luo Xue clearly found his answer satisfactory and calmly said, “It is not easy for you to deal with a Core Formation Realm cultivator alone.”

“I will open my mind and fully resonate with you. We will control your body together, and only then will there be a small chance.”

“You must not hide anything. If you hide anything from me, we won’t be able to achieve soul resonance, and you will surely fail.”

Luo Xue immediately opened her mind completely and resonated with Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian immediately felt a cool yet gentle soul embrace him and share everything with him.

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to respond, revealing everything to her.

For outsiders, this act was simply unimaginable, like a fairy tale.

First, there had to be two souls in one body, which was similar to soul snatching.

If you didn’t resist the soul-snatching, and instead opened yourself completely to accept the other, it would be easy for the other to take over.

But this bizarre scene was actually happening.

At this moment, the twin fish pendant on Lin Fengmian’s chest began to glow, and the red and blue carp began to move and intertwine.

As their resonance deepened, the carp moved faster and faster until they became indistinguishable.
