Chapter 914: 9% sure?
Ximen Lie placed his large hand on his daughter's shoulder and consoled her, "Shuang'er, don't worry. Your father has already invited Elder Mo from Medicine King Valley to personally handle this matter."
"Elder Mo promised personally that the 'Blood Transfer and Body Replacement Method' has reached perfection. He solemnly guaranteed that as long as we proceed according to the plan, the chance of success will be as high as 99%."
Sima Lan in the corner of the dark room suddenly chuckled, and the twelve jade bracelets on her wrists jingled.
She twisted a yellowed parchment scroll with her fingertips. The meridian map painted in cinnabar on it was glowing with a strange bloody light.
"Shuang'er, look at this 'Heaven-stealing Creation Formation'." She pressed her nail polish on a certain acupuncture point, and the blood began to wriggle like a living thing. "Back then, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect used this formation to take other people's immortal spirits for herself."
"Ninety-nine percent sure?" Ximen Yinshuang suddenly interrupted her mother, a dark light flashing in the depths of her pupils.
She slowly closed her five fingers in her sleeves, and the jade pendant on her waist moved automatically without any wind.
This reaction made Sima Lan smile even more deeply. He raised his hand and tucked a strand of silver hair behind his daughter's ear.
"Silly girl, the path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven." Sima Lan exhaled like orchids, and the fragrance floated in the air from her sleeves. "When you have mastered the Taiyin Xuanming Jue, not to mention the Yueya Continent..."
She suddenly lowered her voice and drew a strange rune on her daughter's heart with her fingertips, "Even those hypocritical old guys in the upper realm will kneel down and beg you to give them a Taiyin Xuandan."
Ximen Lie echoed from the side: "Yes, Shuang'er, just go and prepare without any worries."
"Once you successfully possess a pure Yin body, you will be able to practice the Taiyin Xuanming Jue, and you will also be able to practice many of the family's top techniques. This is an opportunity that countless people dream of!"
"By then, who will dare to look down on you? Everyone will be in awe of you and worship you."
His words were full of expectations for Ximen Yinshuang, as if he had already seen her glorious moment of dominating Yueya Continent.
And the Ximen family will surely become famous and glorious because of her rise.
The stone chamber suddenly fell into silence.
Only the bronze clepsydra in the corner made a dripping sound, and every drop of water turned into frost flowers on the black ice jade bricks.
Ximen Yinshuang lowered her eyes and stared at the palm of her hand - there was a faint, almost invisible golden line, flickering with her breathing.
"My daughter understands." She suddenly raised her head, with a poisonous smile in the dimples on her lips.
Lying on the bed, the extremely weak Ji Lier closed her eyes.
She seemed unconscious, but her sensitive spiritual perception captured the malice around her without missing a single detail.
These malicious thoughts were like countless cold needles that mercilessly pierced the depths of her soul, bringing her waves of severe pain and making her heart ache.
Her heart was filled with fear and despair. Why was her father so cruel to her?
Now, her fate is firmly controlled by these people, allowing them to manipulate her at will.
And she, like a lamb without any ability to resist, could only wait for her fate of being slaughtered.
Tears quietly slid down her tightly closed eyes and flowed slowly along her pale and bloodless cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.
These tears not only wet her clothes, but also were like sharp blades, deeply hurting her already broken heart.
Just when she felt hopeless and helpless——
suddenly!
A chilly and biting wind quietly came in through the narrow gap in the dark room like a ghost.
The wind came with great force, yet silently, making it impossible to guard against it.
Although the wind was not strong, it brought a chilling chill that made people's hair stand on end, as if it came from the Netherworld.
This chill was like a cold current that quickly penetrated people's skin and reached their bones, making people shiver all over.
The originally weak candlelight suddenly swayed violently under the blowing of the cold wind, like a frightened child.
The candle flame jumped and made crackling sounds, as if it was telling the endless sins hidden in the dark room with tears and sobs.
Ximen Yinshuang was frightened by the sudden cold wind and shivered slightly. She hugged her arms involuntarily, trying to use the temperature of her body to resist the chill.
However, the chill followed her like a shadow, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of it.
Her pale face became even more bloodless, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on her forehead.
Her voice was trembling slightly, with a hint of tears in it: "Mom and Dad, I... I'm a little scared."
"This dark room is eerie. It feels like something is always watching us, making us feel uncomfortable."
Her eyes were filled with panic and she looked around, as if trying to find the source of her fear.
However, the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except the flickering candlelight.
This unknown fear was like a giant beast hidden in the darkness, which could jump out from a corner at any time and devour her.
Ximen Lie frowned, his sharp eyes were instantly filled with vigilance, and he glanced around vigilantly.
However, after a careful inspection, nothing unusual was found.
The furnishings in the room were still neatly arranged, and there were no suspicious marks on the walls and the floor.
He felt a little relieved, but still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Ximen Lie turned around, looked at the pale Ximen Yinshuang, and comforted her: "Shuang'er, don't be afraid, your parents are here."
"These are just some common rumors. There is nothing strange about them. You are just too nervous."
Although Ximen Lie tried his best to comfort Ximen Yinshuang, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The atmosphere in this dark room was indeed indescribably weird, making people feel a little creepy.
Ximen Yinshuang was trembling slightly, obviously not yet fully recovered from the fear.
She tightly grasped the corner of Ximen Lie's clothes, as if it was her only support.
Ximen Lie felt distressed when he saw this.
Sima Lan also hurried forward, gently hugged Ximen Yinshuang, and gently stroked her hair, trying to use his warmth to dispel the fear in his daughter's heart.
She said gently, "Don't be afraid, dear child. Mother is here. This is just a small dark room. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Silly Shuang'er, don't let your imagination run wild. This cold and gloomy place can't trap the phoenix of our Ximen family." Sima Lan's fingertips brushed across his daughter's pale cheek.
"When you recover, your parents will take you away from this hellhole and take you to a sunny place where there will be no worries, only endless happiness and peace."
Sima Lan said this, looking at Ximen Yinshuang with eyes full of pampering and expectation.
Her eyes seemed to have seen the scene of her daughter laughing in that beautiful place after recovering.
Her wide sleeves fluttered lightly, and her twelve-piece gold-painted skirt spread out on the blue brick floor like a blooming peony.
A mirror made of ice crystals slid out from his sleeve, and what was reflected in the mirror was the blue sea and clear sky.
The pavilions and towers covered with glazed tiles float in the clouds, and the bronze wind chimes hanging under the red corridors are ringing.
"Shuang'er, do you see it? It's so beautiful here." Sima Lan tapped the mirror with her fingertips, and ripples spread out, revealing a garden full of bright peach blossoms.
"After Elder Mo uses that girl's pure Yin body to cleanse your meridians and marrow, and your condition is completely healed, we will go to the Blue Sea Island."
She suddenly lowered her voice and whispered in her daughter's ear: "Your father has arranged everything. He even prepared three pots of Yaochi's 'Nine Transformations Jade Liquid'."
