Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chu Xuexin took a shy half-step back and said, "Brother Chang, you should take the White Crane Soul Cleansing Pill now. It's the Heavenly Soul Sect Master's birthday banquet in three days. Try to recover before then."

"Xuexin is so thoughtful. Then I shall humbly comply," Chang Shiyang replied.

Chang Shiyang opened the Dan Bottle and swallowed the fragrant elixir inside, then sat cross-legged to absorb the pill power.

As the pill power circulated through his limbs and bones, Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit emerged above his head, and the cracks and wounds on it slowly began to heal.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, a luminous spirit light shone from the jade pendant worn by Chu Xuexin, and an inexplicable sense of being spied on surged into her heart.

Her bright eyes fluttering, Chu Xuexin sharply turned towards Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit, her pretty face slightly changing color, "Something's wrong, Brother Chang, there's something wrong with your Primordial Spirit."

Chu Xuexin's fair and graceful wrist suddenly flipped over, and a purple luminescence burst forth from her palm, shining through Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit.

The sudden change left Chang Shiyang and Uncle Di in the quiet room utterly baffled.

Boom!

The next second, a ghastly centipede phantom emerged from within Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit, a creation of pure spiritual power, roaring at Chu Xuexin.

"Primordial Spirit Demon Seed, Su Jie has tampered with the young master's Primordial Spirit," Uncle Di was the first to react, his face a mix of shock and fury.

The Primordial Spirit Demon Seed is a manipulative technique used by those at the fusion level of Primordial Spirit, transforming the Divine Soul into a seed and merging it within another's Primordial Spirit, serving a surveillance function.

Those proficient in this technique can even absorb the Soul Power of the host's Primordial Spirit. Once enough power accumulates, it will violently explode.

It's like a ticking time bomb; no one knows when the Primordial Spirit Demon Seed might detonate.

"Damn it!"

Chang Shiyang himself was furious, for he had not felt the slightest awareness of the centipede phantom in his Primordial Spirit.

This could only mean one thing: Su Jie's level of Primordial Spirit was far above his own. Su Jie had tampered with his Primordial Spirit, and he hadn't felt a thing.

"Go!"

Chu Xuexin struck with her jade hand, unleashing blue Spiritual Power accompanied by rippling waves and the cries of a crane, transforming into a beautiful immortal crane that dashed into Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit to clash with the centipede phantom.

Chang Shiyang's recently healed Primordial Spirit cracked open once again, causing him so much pain that his facial features contorted and his face turned ashen.

"Hang in there, Brother Chang, I'll help you pull out this centipede Demon Seed," Xuexin said.

Chu Xuexin's long sleeves fluttered as the immortal crane soared within the Primordial Spirit, soon subduing the centipede phantom.

The centipede phantom, like a rootless duckweed and although high in level, lacked support. If not for concern over the damage to Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit, the battle would have ended even quicker.

But just as the centipede phantom was about to dissipate, it suddenly expanded, radiating dazzling brilliance and transforming into the image of a young man with a cold face—it was Su Jie.

"Dare to spoil my plans!"

With a cold snort, his presence heavy as a mountain, the air turned oppressively dense, cracks appeared on the ground, and a deeper solemnity filled Chu Xuexin's eyes, whereas Chang Shiyang found it hard to breathe.

"Holy Daughter!"

Outside the room, disciples of the Desire Sect who were waiting, hearing the commotion, rushed in and saw Su Jie's Divine Soul phantom.

Although this was only a partial manifestation of Su Jie's Soul Power, the oppressive air it brought was as heavy as a mountain, making it difficult for those at the Yunling Realm to approach without their blood surging and feeling as if their souls – which they lacked – were being scorched, leaving them pale and collapsing with blood vomiting.

"That's... Su Jie, he's grown too strong too quickly," said Yu Wenxian, who was among the females who had rushed in. The sheer might of Su Jie's phantom, a mere fraction of his Soul Power, made her soul tremble and her limbs go weak.

"Hmm, it's you, you're here too... I see," Su Jie's phantom noticed Yu Wenxian, his intense killing intent sending a chill through her.

Fortunately, the remaining Soul Power was limited. Just as Yu Wenxian felt like her heart was about to burst, the Soul Power ran out, and Su Jie's Demon Seed phantom could no longer sustain its existence.

When Su Jie's Demon Seed phantom completely vanished, the previously freezing atmosphere also ended, and everyone present gasped for breath.

In the mere ten or so seconds under the pressure of Su Jie, those female disciples of the Desire Sect felt every second was an eternity, as if the next moment they would be crushed to death by that Demon Seed phantom.

Fortunately, it was not Su Jie's true body, otherwise, their souls would have surely been obliterated by Su Jie's spirit pressure.

"Su Jie!"

Chang Shiyang clenched his teeth tightly, shaking uncontrollably, though it was unclear if he was shaking from anger or pain. His hatred for Su Jie had reached its peak.

"Thank goodness Miss Chu noticed. Otherwise, allowing Su Jie's Demon Seed to lurk in the young master's Primordial Spirit, the consequences would be unimaginable," said Uncle Di, breathing a sigh of relief and looking gratefully towards Chu Xuexin.

He had failed to detect the problem himself. If not for Chu Xuexin's discovery, Uncle Di didn't want to imagine what it would mean to be targeted by someone as ruthless as Su Jie—the outcome would surely be disastrous.

"Not at all, I discovered the anomaly thanks to this Blue Soul Dragon Jade," Chu Xuexin shook her head. Gazing at the still furious Chang Shiyang, with a wistful look, she commented, "It seems the methods of the local Demon Sect in Qingzhou are too cruel. It's just a minor grudge, and yet they readily aim to take lives. Uncle Di, Brother Chang, for safety's sake, you should move to another place soon. Although this is under the dominion of the Heavenly Soul Sect, if Su Jie loses his restraint and acts without care, it could be dangerous for you."

"That madman! After taking our five million Spirit Stones he still pulls a stunt, utterly disregarding our Blood Demon Cave. His audacity knows no bounds," Uncle Di added in outrage.
