Chapter 528: I Misjudged You!
At this moment, Lin Fengmian was hiding inside the Double Fish Pendant within his dantian, having voluntarily vacated his consciousness and spiritual platform. He wasn’t the least bit worried.
Without the reincarnation mark, Jun Chengye could only follow the standard possession process and couldn’t directly occupy his spiritual platform.
What Lin Fengmian had just activated under the blood pool was the method to trigger the Samsara Seal.
As long as he could endure the time it took for the Samsara Seal to reform, the old man would be dragged back and severely weakened.
If the Samsara Seal reformed too soon, Jun Chengye wouldn’t be able to possess him, but Lin Fengmian’s identity might be revealed.
Even if it wasn’t, Jun Chengye could still pose a fatal threat in his rage.
Lin Fengmian didn’t just want to avoid possession, he wanted to kill this lingering old ghost.
To achieve this, he was willing to take a risky approach, deliberately luring Jun Chengye into attempting possession so that he would suffer a double backlash.
At this moment, Lin Fengmian was deliberately stalling for time, wanting to understand the full story behind all of this.
“Master, what are you doing? Are you trying to possess me?”
Jun Chengye wanted to lure Lin Fengmian into speaking so that he could locate his soul and devour it.
Both sides had their own ulterior motives and allowed this conversation to continue.
Jun Chengye lied through his teeth. “Wuxie, I don’t want to possess you. I just want to fuse our souls together.”
“Once that happens, I will be you and you will be me. Together, we’ll rule the world! Doesn’t that sound wonderful?”
Lin Fengmian wasn’t buying it. “Master, of all people, why do you have to possess me?”
Jun Chengye was deliberately provoking him, hoping to cause a fluctuation in his soul. He sneered, “What do you mean, ‘why you’?”
“Your very existence was prepared for me. I’ve been raising you for years, just for this day!”
Lin Fengmian feigned confusion. “Prepared for you?”
Jun Chengye laughed coldly. “Did you really think that you just happened to look exactly like that person?”
“You are the result of nearly eight hundred years of effort, using the Fetal Heart Demon Seed Technique to create this body!”
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise. “The Fetal Heart Demon Seed Technique? So this face was really created by a secret art.”
“Master, what exactly are you trying to do? What do you want from Empress Fengyao?”
Jun Chengye frowned. He could clearly sense the fluctuations in Lin Fengmian’s soul.
But no matter how he searched within the consciousness, he couldn’t find where Lin Fengmian’s soul was hiding.
It never occurred to him that someone’s soul could hide outside of their consciousness. The mystical nature of the Double Fish Pendant was beyond his comprehension.
At the same time, Jun Chengye was horrified to find that the shattered fragments of the Samsara Seal were reforming within his soul.
“Why is the Samsara Seal reforming so quickly this time? It’s impossible!”
In the past, the Samsara Seal would only reform after he had successfully possessed a new body, transforming it into his original form.
But this time, with Lin Fengmian’s activation and the delay caused by their conversation, the Samsara Seal had caught him red-handed.
Jun Chengye roared in anger, “Jun Wuxie, come out! Come out now!”
He frantically slammed into Lin Fengmian’s spiritual platform, trying to force his way in, but was repelled each time.
Soon, the Samsara Seal fully reformed, and a powerful force pulled Jun Chengye out of Lin Fengmian’s body.
“No! Let me go! I don’t want to go back!”
Like an enraged lion, Jun Chengye howled in desperation.
He had made so many preparations, thinking that this time he could buy at least a hundred years.
But now, barely having left his body, the Samsara Seal was already dragging him back before he could even complete the possession.
Jun Chengye’s resistance was pathetic and futile. He was dragged back into his old, decrepit body.
He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, looking as if he had aged countless years, his body now emaciated and skeletal.
This was the backlash from the failed possession, compounded by the punishment of the Samsara Seal, severely damaging his soul.
The frail Jun Chengye struggled to his feet, glaring at Lin Fengmian with unwilling eyes, trying to approach him.
But after stumbling a few steps, he collapsed in front of the blood pool, mumbling weakly, “It was so close… so close…”
Lin Fengmian noticed this but didn’t react, continuing to lie motionless in the pool of blood like a corpse.
An hour later, Jun Chengye suddenly let out a bitter laugh. “You’re really something, you bastard!”
He had hoped to lure Lin Fengmian closer to try to possess him again, or at least kill him.
But who would have thought that this kid would stay completely still, outlasting even his own act of playing dead.
He had underestimated this child!
Lin Fengmian remained motionless, sticking to the principle of “If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move either.”
Another hour passed. Once Lin Fengmian was sure that Jun Chengye was truly incapacitated, he returned to consciousness and regained control of his body.
He knew that Jun Chengye wasn’t dead-his soul was just severely injured and in a dormant state.
So Lin Fengmian jumped up and immediately began to bind Jun Chengye with various spirit-sealing ropes and locks from a distance.
He bit his finger and used all the soul destroying techniques he had learned from the Heavenly Deception Sect, giving Jun Chengye the full treatment.
From a distance, he controlled his flying sword, slashing at Jun Chengye relentlessly, wishing he could chop him into mincemeat.
But Jun Chengye’s body seemed to have been tempered to an extraordinary degree, much tougher than Lin Fengmian had expected.
Even with his full strength, Lin Fengmian only managed to create sparks as he hacked at the desiccated corpse, unable to inflict any real damage.
The few remaining strands of hair on Jun Chengye’s head were all cut off, leaving his scalp shiny and bald.
A thousand years ago, Lin Fengmian had helped Jun Chengye achieve spiritual purity. This time, he had even given him a monk’s tonsure. This was truly a full-service experience!
But even the “tonsured monk” Lin Fengmian, who couldn’t break through Jun Chengye’s defenses, was starting to lose his cool.
“Damn it, aren’t you a sword cultivator? What kind of perverse body is this?”
He was somewhat helpless. Was this a cultivator’s body?
Really perverse!
What kind of perverted things had Jun Chengye been doing all these years?
This was the first time Lin Fengmian had encountered a situation where someone was lying defenseless in front of him, and he still couldn’t finish them off.
“Screw it, I’m going to refine my body too. With this kind of toughness, I’ll be unstoppable!”
Lin Fengmian refused to believe that he couldn’t kill Jun Chengye. He searched the cave dwelling for tools and planned to increase the intensity.
In a hidden chamber, he discovered a large blood-red formation.
The formation glowed with a sinister light and emitted a terrifying aura of evil energy.
Lin Fengmian was no longer the naive kid he used to be. With one glance at the formation’s pattern, he recognized it as a blood sacrifice altar!
This was clearly something Jun Chengye had prepared to use after possessing him, sacrificing his old body to rapidly increase his strength.
The corners of Lin Fengmian’s lips curled into a sinister smile as he gave a thumbs up. “Impressive!”
“You’ve already planned your own death, Jun Chengye. I misjudged you!”
“Selflessly sacrificing yourself for others – you are truly a great man! I won’t disappoint you!”
He was so moved that drool almost dripped from the corner of his mouth.
What a good man!
What a great tonic!
Lin Fengmian placed Jun Chengye into the ready-made blood sacrifice altar, only to be struck by a sudden realization.
He had no idea how to use this thing!
He kicked Jun Chengye.
“Old man, where is the instruction manual for this altar?”
