chapter 26

Can it be that you can’t see him??

He’s standing right next to you while eavesdropping on your conversation!

Ji Yan looked at the group of people like she had seen a ghost.

The elders of the sect had formed a circle to discuss their plan. Ji Yan noticed that only Taoist Dao Yun and one other elder had their backs facing Yin Xuezhuo. Besides Taoist Dao Yun and the one other elder, the remaining group of elders was facing Yin Xuezhuo as he materialized. However, the strange matter was they didn’t move at all.

Are they…?

Ji Yan’s eyes widened in shock as she just realized something. While Yin Xuezhuo fiddled with his long black nails, one of the female elders that were facing Yin Xuezhuo began to talk. Although Ji Yan couldn’t hear what she had said, she could see the smile on Yin Xuezhuo’s face turning brighter and brighter as she spoke.

They were being controlled.

Ji Yan was certain. She didn’t know how he managed to do it, but she realized that he was truly too strong.

She was no longer afraid of Yin Xuezhuo after their short time together, but at this moment, her blood ran cold when she realized how powerful he truly was.

Ji Yan suddenly inhaled an icy cold breath of air. The cold air filled her lungs and soon, her lungs became heavy and it was hard to breathe.

Her mind was in a chaotic mess as she thought: he really is terrifying.

It was one thing watching him kill living people like cutting grass, but it was a whole another matter watching him control a living person like a puppet. It suddenly dawned on her that Yin Xuezhuo was a bad person.

He may have a pitiful past, but he had also committed many evil deeds. It was impossible to wash away the blood on his hand.

Ji Yan remembered hearing him tell her that he will “make them into his puppets”. He used the same exact tone when he said that as when he said he will step her on her neck and break it.

He was a man of his words. No matter how ridiculous his idea was, he will always do as he promised.

As if he had noticed Ji Yan’s terrified gaze on him Yin Xuezhuo suddenly turned around and looked at her. He smiled like he was a crazy person and blinked his eyes innocently at Ji Yan.

He seemed to be saying: Look, I did everything that I said I would do.

Ji Yan’s mood was very complicated.

She was later imprisoned by the elders.

Three of the five elders were being controlled by Yin Xuezhuo. Taoist Dao Yun had no idea yet, and he was still trying to come up with a method to deal with Yin Xuezhuo. Ji Yan was placed under house arrest in a courtyard full of enchantments. She was sitting on the bed while she faced the wall in a trance.

Yin Xuezhuo seemed to be in a great mood. He was lying lazily next to her as he poked her cheek with his long nails, “What are you thinking?”

When he leaned towards her, Ji Yan noticed that even the breath he exhaled was cold, just like his body temperature.

Ji Yan curled up and whispered, “I’m wondering why you haven’t destroyed the world yet considering how powerful you are.”

Yin Xuezhuo seemed to be amused by her question. He pinched her chin and suddenly leaned toward Ji Yan’s face, “I’ve noticed that you seemed to be somewhat afraid of me today.”

Ji Yan’s body was trembling.

She didn’t know why she was shaking. After all, he couldn’t kill her.

But she was still trembling. Perhaps it was because she had seen how easily he could turn a living person into his puppet. When Yin Xuezhuo approached her, she shivered because the air was gradually turning colder.

Yin Xuezhuo narrowed his eyes and the corners of his lips were slightly curled upward. He rubbed her face with his fingers, “Everyone is afraid of me. The more they are afraid of me, the more I want to kill them. I love watching the fear in people’s eyes as I kill them.”

This insane man was really hopeless.

Ji Yan lowered her gaze and tilted her head to avoid his ice-cold fingers. She pondered over something for a moment before she said slowly, “It’s okay as long as you’re happy.”

She can’t control him anyway.

“…” Yin Xuezhuo stared at her calmly for a while before he suddenly released his grip on her face. He appeared bored.

He thought she was going to cry and beg him not to kill him.

Yin Xuezhuo got up and walked to the window. He looked at the faint blue light that the spiritual vein was emitting in the distance. The spiritual vein looked like a beautiful blue jewel that had fallen from the sky, leaving a faint trail of blue light as it made descent downwards.

The light in that area was slowly getting brighter and brighter as if it had detected something.
