Phoenix Destiny - Chapter 327 - Fake

Jiang Yuan looked gentle and seemed to be genuine, so the five of them didn’t suspect anything. They exchanged glances before walking over to her filled with smiles. Who would be ignorant about how great Prince Jiang’s reputation was? Lady Luck must have been with them to allow them to form a connection with Prince Jiang.

The leader of the group walked up to her full of smiles and reached out his hand. “You must be Prince Jiang, right? What favor do you need from us?”

Jiang Yuan smiled thinly in return before staring at him like a tiger staring at her prey. “Your soul energy!” she shouted coldly.

Before he could react, the temperature of the surroundings dropped drastically. The wind howled, and snowflakes fell rapidly from the sky alongside many icicles.

Being too close to Jiang Yuan, the leader had no time to react, and an icicle pierced through his skull. The last sound he made in his life was a blood-curdling screech.

The other four guys jumped up and turned to escape immediately.

A light shone in Jiang Yuan’s eyes as she turned the icicles into small ice needles, forming an ice needle wall and blocking their way.

“Jiang Yuan, what do you want from us!?” one of them yelled.

“Your lives, of course.”

“But we have no grudges with you….”

“Sure you do. Didn’t you want to kill me a moment ago?” She sneered.

“What utter bull crap…!”

Indeed, they were planning to gang up on her when they found someone who was alone. However, they immediately dispelled that thought when they realized who the person was. If Prince Jiang was talking about that, it was just nitpicking.

But it was a pity for them that Jiang Yuan seemed to have no interest in their explanation. “If you want to kill, then you must be prepared to be killed.”

As soon as she finished, the ice needle wall broke apart and disappeared.

Seeing what she did to their leader, the other four had already mentally prepared as they joined forces to strike back.

Seeing her ice needle being broken into pieces, she furrowed her eyebrows and yelled, “What are you waiting for? Help out.”

The four of them looked at each other nervously. Prince Jiang was already difficult to deal with, but now, he had an alliance…?

But a sword light descended from the sky and cut off their train of thought.

Icicles raised up from the ground and sped toward them.

Lu Mingshu took out her sword and blocked one from running away.

The next minute, the icicles turn into ice needles and pierced through the person.

“Ah!” Another blood-curdling screech could be heard.

Lu Mingshu turned around, looking at Jiang Yuan in disapproval.

But Jiang Yuan ignored her glance and continued her killing spree, taking down another one with an icicle.

Not long later, five corpses could be seen on the floor.

Jiang Yuan wiped her hands and started searching for badges on their bodies.

Seeing Lu Mingshu rooted to the ground with fear in her eyes, Jiang Yuan smiled thinly. “Miss Ji, I hope you are not going to tell me things like, ‘It’s not right to kill.’”

Lu Mingshu said nothing and shook her head. She wasn’t a saint, and that was what the world was like. As Jiang Yuan mentioned, if you want to kill, then you must be prepared to be killed. It was how vicious and merciless Jiang Yuan was that made her feel fear.

The three of them quietly shared the spirit fire they gained. Jiang Yuan smiled in content seeing how much she earned. “Lady Luck is on our side. They earned so much that it will be enough for us to go through to the second round.”

“Great, we don’t need to kill anymore….” Yan Wugui grabbed his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. “So, can you please tell us how we can solve our issue now?”

“Drag these over.” Jiang Yuan pointed at the corpses.

Yan Wugui looked over to Lu Mingshu. They nodded and started to drag the corpses, pilling them up by the side.

Jiang Yuan walked over and pressed her finger to the seal on a corpse’s forehead. Not long later, blood was sucked out of his forehead. Jiang Yuan exerted more energy, and it turned into a drop of blood, rolling around on her palm.

After she was done, she kicked the corpse away and repeated her actions on the next corpse.

“What are you doing?” Yan Wugui blinked.

Jiang Yuan didn’t reply, she just continued to work on what she was doing. After some time, she managed to get five drops of blood out, and she combined them into one big drop.

Seeing her sweating profusely, Lu Mingshu was aware of how much soul energy she had exerted, and her heart felt warm. No matter how vicious and merciless she is, she still treats us genuinely since we are her allies now.

After resting for a while, Jiang Yuan stood up and walked toward them. “If a person has just died, their soul energy will still be intact. We can get this soul blood out of them with secret methods, and with it, we can imitate a seal that even Freezing Spirt elders can’t see through.”

So she killed them for us?

“It’s their blood though, will the seal come out wrong?” Yan Wugui looked at her worriedly.

“At most, it would look like you have heterogenous soul energy. But you’re from a small place, so it’s common.”

“That’s it?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan snickered and laughed. “Suspicious much, are you? Why the hell would I waste so much energy to scheme against you guys? Not worth it.”

“….” Yan Wugui glared at Lu Mingshu. Why is she so much like you? So unpleasant!

Lu Mingshu pretended she saw nothing.

“Hurry up. After some time, the soul energy will disappear, and this will all be in vain.” Jiang Yuan rushed them.

“Okay.” Since he had always been single, he stepped out immediately. “I’ll go first.”

“Sure, why not?” Jiang Yuan looked at Lu Mingshu, smirking.

Of course, Jiang Yuan could tell why Yan Wugui went first. Whatever, let him be happy.

Jiang Yuan moved her hands slowly, dragging the drop into a long line of blood before pressing it into the seal on Yan Wugui’s forehead. “Don’t resist it,” she said gently. “You won’t feel good when someone else’s soul blood enters your body. It will take some time for you to get used to it.”

Yan Wugui focused on her words, and soon, the seal that Yan Wugui drew was slowly covered by blood and turned red, shining in the light.

After the drop of blood was half gone, Jiang Yuan took her hand back.

Yan Wugui’s body shook.

Lu Mingshu ran over and grabbed him. “How are you feeling now?”

After a while, Yan Wugui managed to stand back up and nodded. “Not feeling so well. It feels very hot, but it’s fine.”

Lu Mingshu nodded and allowed Jiang Yuan to perform it on her.

Like Yan Wugui said, the fake seal felt extremely hot, as if she had a fever.

When the blood drop was all used up, Jiang Yuan stopped. “We are in a rush, so this is all I can do. We do not have much soul blood, so it should only be able to last for a few days, but that should be enough for this debate.”

When Lu Mingshu felt better, she saw that Yan Wugui’s seal had disappeared and looked at Jiang Yuan in shock. “It’s gone!”

“That’s normal, it will arise when you fight.”

Arise when I fight? A rumor ran through Lu Mingshu’s head, and she blurted out, “Is the Floating Cloud young master’s seal fake too?”
