Chapter 400: Mei Wu: This Divine Soul is Too Spicy

Chapter 400: Mei Wu: This Divine Soul is Too Spicy

The battle didn't last long. After Xu Yan successfully controlled one of the True King Celestial Lords, he ordered his captive to sneak attack the one trying to escape.

In just a few breaths, the True King Celestial Lord was injured and his divine soul was torn apart by Xu Yan's Xun Wind Sword Intent.

Once the divine soul was injured and weakened, it was easy for Tian Yi to subdue and control it.

"Talk," Xu Yan instructed after controlling the two. "Confess everything."

Compared to Mei Wu's allure, Tian Yi's soul-subduing technique was evidently more extraordinary. The two True King Celestial Lords couldn't resist the heavenly might imposed on their souls.

Moreover, even under Xu Yan's control, the allure cast by Mei Wu remained unaffected, continuing to exist within them.

Even Mei Wu herself couldn't detect that the people she controlled were now also under Xu Yan's command, truly obeying his will.

This was Xu Yan's intention in controlling these two—at a critical moment, they could catch Mei Wu off guard and create trouble for her.

The two True King Celestial Lords revealed all of Mei Wu's plans in detail.

Xu Yan rejoiced inwardly. The Seven Wonders Divine Flower was real, and Mei Wu had gone to great lengths to lure him, indeed.

Now that he had confirmed the existence of the flower, he was even more eager to meet Mei Wu.

"That Witch Demon Heavenly Cave won't accommodate outsiders as powerful as the Undying Celestial Lords, so even if Mei Wu is strong, her strength shouldn't have reached the level of an Undying Celestial Lord.

"However, Mei Wu's power is somewhat unique and can't be underestimated. Even a typical Undying Celestial Lord might fall prey to her tricks if they're not careful."

Xu Yan pondered, silently assessing the situation.

Mei Wu's power was rather unique, and the most terrifying aspect was her ability to devour divine souls.

"A divine soul is just a divine soul. My martial arts primal soul is far beyond the reach of a mere divine soul. For Mei Wu, who isn't even an Undying Celestial Lord, the thought of devouring my primal soul is nothing but a pipe dream."

Xu Yan didn't worry much about Mei Wu's soul-devouring ability.

After all, even with her talent, it wouldn't be easy for her to devour the soul of someone at the same cultivation level.

As for his primal soul, it was definitely out of Mei Wu's reach.

"My primal soul has defensive capabilities, so I'm not afraid. If I catch her off guard and transform my Xun Wind Sword Intent to mimic a divine soul, letting her devour it..."

Xu Yan's eyes lit up as he contemplated how to disguise his sword intent as a divine soul to trick Mei Wu into consuming it.

"There's always a way..."

After some deliberation, Xu Yan formulated a plan.

"Gather all your people," Xu Yan instructed the two True King Celestial Lords.

"Yes!"

The two True King Celestial Lords hastily replied, their voices filled with reverence.

Deep in their consciousness, they remained lucid, their scalps tingling. Xu Yan's methods were truly unfathomable.

Their instincts told them that the beauty in the Witch Demon Heavenly Cave would likely suffer a great loss this time.

Xu Yan didn't rush to the Heavenly Cave. Instead, he took control of the True King Celestial Lords that Mei Wu had sent out to find him, subduing them one by one with the Tian Yi soul-subduing technique.

These True King Celestial Lords never expected that their comrades would betray them, and they were completely unprepared. They were easily ambushed and controlled by Xu Yan.

After taking control of them, Xu Yan's next step was to find out the secrets of the Witch Demon Heavenly Cave and whether it was truly impossible for an external powerhouse at the Undying Celestial Lord level to enter.

After a thorough investigation, it was finally confirmed that Mei Wu's strength within the Heavenly Cave had not reached the level of an Undying Celestial Lord.

Her power was just peculiar and unusual, making it difficult for the Great Martial Artists to defend against.

However, this wasn't a problem for Xu Yan.

"You are now in great danger, as your souls can be devoured at any time. I have a method that may protect your souls in a critical moment."

Xu Yan spoke to the group of True King Celestial Lords under his control.

Mei Wu would not let these souls go, and she would eventually devour them.

Since that was the case, he could make some plans.

Subsequently, Xu Yan infused a strand of Xun Wind Sword Intent into the soul of each True King Celestial Lord, merging it with their souls so that they became one.

As the Xun Wind Sword Intent was specifically designed to target souls, it could naturally merge with them. Moreover, since these True King Celestial Lords willingly allowed the infusion, the sword intent remained undetected.

At the same time, Xu Yan swallowed several pills and merged the Xun Wind Sword Intent into them, hiding it within his body.

These pills were refined by Su Lingxiu and were called Fake Soul Pills. They possessed the aura of a soul and could transform into the shape of a soul to deceive others.

Of course, they also had the effect of nourishing one's primal soul.

Xu Yan wanted to use the Xun Wind Sword Intent to impersonate a soul and deceive Mei Wu, so he thought of the Fake Soul Pills, which could now come in handy.

"What a peculiar pill," Xu Yan mused. "Sometimes, these odd pills can indeed come in handy."

He marveled at the variety of pills his junior sister had refined, including many with unique and special effects. Now, the Fake Soul Pill was about to be put to use.

"What will happen when Mei Wu consumes the Xun Wind Sword Intent disguised as a soul?"

Xu Yan was filled with anticipation.

With everything prepared, it was time to meet Mei Wu!

Qian Die Mountain, Witch Demon Heavenly Cave.

At this moment, the Heavenly Cave resembled a beautiful woman's boudoir, elegantly decorated and filled with a captivating fragrance. Pink flowers were arranged in a regular pattern, creating a mystical atmosphere.

In front of a small building was a blooming seven-colored flower, its glow ethereal and adding to the sense of wonder.

"Where is he?"

Mei Wu lay lazily on a bed in the elegant small building, with several beautiful attendants serving her.

However, these attendants were no longer the same people they used to be.

Several True Kings knelt outside the small building, their bodies trembling as they appeared anxious and uneasy.

"We have discovered his traces and are thinking of ways to lure him here. I believe he will enter soon," one of the True King Celestial Lords said, his voice shaking.

"I hope so, or else there will be no point in keeping you useless beings around," Mei Wu said, licking her red lips as she stared at the True Kings, as if they were delicious food.

"He's coming! Xu Yan is about to enter the Heavenly Cave!"

Two True King Celestial Lords rushed in from outside, their faces filled with delight.

"Good, very good!"

Mei Wu was overjoyed, and a cold glint flashed in her alluring eyes.

"I thought Xu Yan was on his way here?" Mei Wu asked angrily a day later.

"Xu Yan is cautious and is currently investigating the area. We dare not approach him for fear of arousing his suspicion. But we believe he will enter the Heavenly Cave in the next few days," a True King Celestial Lord replied, his voice shaking.

"Let's hope so!"

Mei Wu took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a cold light as her thoughts wandered.

Another day passed.

Mei Wu was growing impatient. A True King Celestial Lord hurried back from outside.

"Xu Yan is here!"

"Good. Block all exits to the Heavenly Cave!" Mei Wu ordered immediately.

Pink light permeated the Heavenly Cave as the True King Celestial Lords hid within it, their figures obscured by the glowing mist.

"Now that I have your disciple, let's see if you'll come to rescue him and how you'll do it!" Mei Wu muttered through gritted teeth.

Xu Yan arrived at the entrance of the Witch Demon Heavenly Cave, his aura fluctuating as he lowered his strength to resemble that of someone who had just entered the Shentong Realm.

"The Seven Wonders Divine Flower is mine now."

Xu Yan stepped into the Heavenly Cave, pretending not to notice the True King Celestial Lords hiding their presence. He cautiously made his way deeper into the cave, feigning wariness.

Upon reaching the elegant small building, he spotted the Seven Wonders Divine Flower.

Initially, he had feigned caution, but now he abruptly increased his speed, rushing towards the flower in an instant and plucking it with his outstretched hand.

"Boy, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

Mei Wu emerged from the small building.

"It's you?"

Xu Yan pretended to be startled, his figure retreating as if he intended to flee.

"Giggle, am I that scary? Now that you've seen me, do you want to leave already? You already have the Seven Wonders Divine Flower, so why not stay and play with me?" Mei Wu said coquettishly, her enchanting smile accompanied by a pink glow that filled the entire Heavenly Cave.

The True King Celestial Lords at the entrance revealed themselves, their figures shrouded by the glowing mist as they moved to block Xu Yan's escape route.

"What do you want?" Xu Yan asked, his expression grave as he brandished his sword, his aura erupting with the intent to fight to the death.

However, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With the Seven Wonders Divine Flower safely in his possession, the next step would be much easier. From the moment he entered the Heavenly Cave, he had pretended to be cautious to mislead Mei Wu, all for the sake of plucking the flower.

Now that everything had gone according to plan, it was time to turn the tables on Mei Wu.

The pink glow permeated the cave, and Mei Wu exuded an allure that seemed to stir one's most primitive desires.

This was especially true for young men like Xu Yan, who were more susceptible to her bewitching charm.

"What kind of allure is this?" Xu Yan wondered inwardly, impressed by the strength of Mei Wu's allure, which could even ensnare the True King Celestial Lords.

"However, it has no effect on me!"

On the surface, Xu Yan appeared to be struggling to resist the allure, his brow furrowed in concentration as he seemed to be barely holding on to his senses. In truth, he was as calm as ever.

Whether it was the mystical nature of the Huijian Realm, which made him immune to illusions, or the insight of the Small Heavenly Dao Eye, which saw through all illusions, Mei Wu's allure had no effect on him.

"What do you think of your sister?" Mei Wu asked, her eyes sparkling. Her aura was fragrant and captivating, and no matter what type of woman Xu Yan preferred, in his eyes, she became that type.

Such exquisite beauty—how could anyone resist?

Especially someone as young as Xu Yan.

"Don't even think about bewitching me!" Xu Yan shouted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he roared and swung his sword.

The sword glowed with a fierce light, its might unmatched.

Mei Wu lifted her delicate finger, and with a flick, she deflected the attack.

"Boy, you're indeed extraordinary, being the disciple of that detestable man. You managed to hold on until now; I'll see how much longer you can last!" Mei Wu sneered.

Xu Yan's ability to maintain his senses up to this point impressed her, proving that he was indeed an exceptional genius, far superior to the True King Celestial Lords.

"Hmph!"

Xu Yan snorted, his veins popping out as he roared and unleashed layers of sword glow, each layer resembling a tidal wave that surrounded his body, defending against the allure.

At the same time, he shifted his position, instantly changing his direction as if attempting to flee.

"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. Let's see if your master will come to your rescue." Mei Wu commented, regarding Xu Yan's movement technique with newfound respect.

"You can't keep me here!" Xu Yan said as he shifted his position once more. This time, he managed to slip through the blockade of the True King Celestial Lords and dashed towards the entrance of the Heavenly Cave.

"You're all useless!" Mei Wu said, her eyebrows arched as she glared at the True King Celestial Lords. Now that Xu Yan had arrived, these men were of no use to her.

"Be a good boy and listen to me; you won't get away!" Mei Wu extended her slender jade-like hand.

Xu Yan swung his sword to strike, but her hand wrapped around his, capturing him and his sword.

"What a handsome young man!" Mei Wu exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Xu Yan. Her eyes seemed to possess a beauty that could enthrall anyone.

Xu Yan gritted his teeth, pretending to be struggling to maintain his senses, as if he were on the verge of succumbing to her allure.

"How interesting!" Mei Wu's smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower.

"Go and spread the word. Tell them that Xu Yan is in my hands, and let's see how his master will rescue him!" Mei Wu pointed at one of the True King Celestial Lords and instructed.

"Yes!"

The True King Celestial Lord hurriedly bowed and retreated, quickly leaving the Heavenly Cave.

The other True King Celestial Lords' faces changed slightly as they realized something was amiss, but they were unable to struggle or resist.

"Come one by one, and don't resist." Mei Wu smiled as she spoke.

One by one, the True King Celestial Lords stepped forward, and Mei Wu opened her small mouth, sucking out their souls and swallowing them.

Plop!

The True King Celestial Lords were left as empty shells, their bodies devoid of their souls.

After consuming the souls of all the True King Celestial Lords, Mei Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She felt that there was something unusual about these souls.

They seemed to have a strange... almost spicy flavor?

"You've managed to hold on until now? Impressive. I shall keep your souls, and let's see how your master will rescue you!

"If he wants to get your souls back, he'll have to offer something worthy in exchange.

"Remember this, little boy. The rarer the treasure, the harder it is to obtain, and there are always risks involved.

"Of course, that's assuming you'll have another chance." Mei Wu smiled brilliantly, her delicate hand caressing Xu Yan's cheek as she exclaimed, "What a handsome young man! I can play with this body for many years!"

She opened her small mouth, ready to consume Xu Yan's soul.

At this moment, Xu Yan felt a peculiar force attempting to envelop and bind his primal soul, as if it were about to be sucked out of his body.

However, due to his cultivation of the martial arts, which was not the same as the True King Celestial Lords' cultivation, his primal soul was not affected by this force. The power of his spiritual platform could easily repel it.

"Here it comes!"

Xu Yan had anticipated this, and he quickly infused the Fake Soul Pill and the Xun Wind Sword Intent into a fake soul, channeling it into the suction force to be swallowed by Mei Wu.

Mei Wu paused for a moment after sucking in his soul, surprised by its overwhelming power. But then she realized that it was only natural for the disciple of such a formidable opponent to possess an exceptional soul.

"What's wrong with this boy's soul? It's so spicy! What kind of soul is this? I've devoured countless souls, but never one as spicy as this!" Mei Wu was perplexed. The soul's spiciness had taken her by surprise!
