Chapter 1328: Husband and Wife Both Return Home
"Heh heh heh!"
"These two bodies are supreme grade!"
"Seems like they haven't been touched yet."
"And their physiques aren't bad either."
Baiyu stared at Gong Qingqiu and Li Wanqing, licking his lips uncontrollably as he stepped closer.
"My dear wife, you should possess Li Wanqing first, while I keep watch for you. At the same time, I'll 'take care' of Gong Qingqiu's body."
Baiyu snickered maliciously.
"You rascal, don't think I don't know what you're up to. But whatever, it doesn't matter now."
Hong Miao shook her head.
In the next moment,
Hong Miao took Gong Qingqiu and Li Wanqing deep underground, dug out a concealed chamber, and entered it.
Above ground.
Gong Qingqiu and Li Wanqing lay quietly.
Hong Miao lay beside them, preparing a meticulously arranged formation. Her Divine Soul left her body and hovered above Li Wanqing, ready to merge into her.
"My dear wife, I'll stand guard for you."
Baiyu gently shook his paper fan, his face full of smiles.
"Alright."
Hong Miao nodded.
In the next moment,
her Divine Soul accelerated suddenly, crashing toward Li Wanqing. But a radiant glow erupted from Li Wanqing's body surface and repelled her Divine Soul.
"What's going on?"
Hong Miao was stunned. "Is there a defensive Divine Skill or Sacred Arm on her?"
"I'm encountering an issue too."
Baiyu stood by Gong Qingqiu's side, attempting to unclothe her, but found a flash of light at her waist preventing his actions.
"Look, it's the Identity Token!"
Hong Miao pointed to the waists of Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu, discovering their Identity Tokens emitting light that thwarted them.
"This is the Misty Sect's Identity Token!"
"I've heard these tokens possess mysterious powers. If we destroy them, Ye Feng will surely find out, and we'll be doomed."
"Also, even if we successfully possess them, damaging the tokens will attract Ye Feng's attention in the future, ruining everything."
"What should we do then?"
"I have a Soul-Seizing Formation that circumvents restrictions but requires consuming our original bodies to activate."
"Really?"
"Yes, but our original bodies will be completely destroyed."
"Husband, in this situation, who cares about our original bodies? Once we possess Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu, we can infiltrate the Misty Sect and absorb the Spirit Vein's energy for growth."
"Alright then!"
Hong Miao and Baiyu deliberated for a moment before deciding to sacrifice their physical bodies.
Thus, the arrangement began.
Above ground.
Two jade stones appeared, each three meters in diameter and half a meter thick, with peculiar array patterns engraved on their surfaces.
"Boom!"
Hong Miao self-detonated, her body turning into countless streams of heat and pouring onto a formation's array patterns, filling it. Her soul then rose from the surface of the formation.
She was enveloped in crimson-golden light, her aura exuding an eerie charm.
"Boom!"
Baiyu self-detonated similarly, his body transforming into a rain of light that nourished another formation's array patterns, while his soul slowly ascended.
At this moment,
both of their souls were clad in a special energy capable of bypassing most restrictions and directly entering Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu's bodies to take possession.
"My dear wife, let's begin!"
"Alright."
Grinning sinisterly, their souls charged toward Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu, eager to invade their bodies.
"Boom!"
Yet, they were abruptly repelled by golden light, entirely unable to enter Gong Qingqiu and Li Wanqing's bodies.
"What's going on?"
Baiyu's face darkened.
"I don't know either. With this formation, we should be able to enter even Saint Manifestation or Heavenly Saint bodies. Why not theirs?"
Hong Miao was flustered.
"My dear wife, did we make some mistake?"
Baiyu asked grimly.
"Impossible!"
Hong Miao looked utterly perplexed.
At her words, Baiyu grew even more anxious.
The pair mulled over the problem for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was wrong or what to do next.
"My dear wife, our physical bodies have already self-detonated, leaving no retreat. This must not fail!"
"Husband, I don't know what went wrong either. Let me calculate again."
"Hurry up!"
Baiyu pressed her urgently.
Above the formation,
Hong Miao became increasingly frantic. As she tried to calculate, she discovered no issues with the array, as if some higher power was protecting Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu.
"Husband, I'm out of options."
In the end, Hong Miao shook her head incessantly, her spirit crushed.
"What?!"
Baiyu's eyes widened in disbelief. "We sacrificed our bodies, and now you're telling me it's impossible? Where am I supposed to find another body?!"
"Husband, please don't be angry, I..."
"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"
Baiyu was furious, stomping his feet in rage.
Hong Miao, standing awkwardly nearby, was helpless and embarrassed.
"Hehehe!"
"You two truly are complete fools!"
Suddenly, a playful yet scornful voice rang out behind them. The sound sent shivers deep into their souls, making them whip around in terror.
In the void,
two women hovered.
Their cold features were stunning, their skin gleaming pure gold, exuding an aura of unparalleled nobility.
One of them looked like an Empress,
while the other was a spear-wielding warrior, poised and valiant.
They hovered there calmly, their respective Supreme Saint Realm and Heavenly Saint Realm auras bursting forth, overwhelming Hong Miao and Baiyu's souls with dread.
"Sup… Supreme Saint!"
"And a Heavenly Saint!"
"These two seem familiar. Weren't they seen in Misty Sect? They're said to be the Empress of the Divine Spirit Ancient Country and the Goddess of War!"
Hong Miao and Baiyu were struck with disbelief.
"We're doomed!"
Recognizing the women, their hearts sank.
"Turns out the issue wasn't with the formation but that they had blocked us!"
Hong Miao belatedly realized.
"Correct!"
The Empress of the Divine Spirit Ancient Country nodded lightly. "We already noticed you sneaking about back in Whitefloat City. It was clear you were up to no good. Following you here only confirmed it."
"Yeah, you looked shady from the start."
The Goddess of War nodded as well.
Realizing they'd been watched the entire time, the two were filled with disbelief.
"You mean everything we did was visible to you? You even saw us self-destruct to set up the formation?"
Hong Miao's mouth twitched.
She suddenly felt like a complete fool.
"Indeed!"
"We witnessed everything."
The Empress of the Divine Spirit Ancient Country nodded, "To be honest, when you self-destructed, I nearly couldn't hold back from laughing."
"Hahaha!"
The Goddess of War had already burst out laughing, clutching her sides.
"Wake them up first."
The Empress released a breath of Spiritual Energy that entered Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu, causing them to open their eyes and glare furiously at Hong Miao and Baiyu.
"How dare you!"
"You actually tried to possess us!"
Li Wanqing and Gong Qingqiu trembled with rage.
Initially, their Divine Souls had fallen into slumber, but they woke soon enough and were able to sense everything happening outside.
If not for the intervention of the Empress and the Goddess of War, they would have been possessed by Hong Miao and Baiyu, these deranged attackers.
"What should we do with them now?"
The Empress of the Divine Spirit Ancient Country asked Gong Qingqiu.
"First, interrogate them to uncover their motives, then decide their fates... But no matter what, these two are destined to die!"
Gong Qingqiu's expression grew icy.
Though she was typically kind to others, the audacity of these two attempting to possess her warranted no mercy. They had to die.
"What?!"
"You're actually going to kill us? Then don't expect us to talk!"
Hong Miao and Baiyu's faces turned ashen.
