In the entire Dazhu Peak, there are only two women: one is Su Ru, the wife of Tian Buyi, the chief of Dazhu Peak, and the other is their daughter, Tian Ling'er.
Therefore, the little girl in front of me must be Tian Ling'er.
At this time, Tian Ling'er was about thirteen years old, two years older than Zhang Xiaofan.
The Dazhufeng lineage has a rule that for the first three years after joining, one must cut black bamboo every day.
Tian Ling'er's presence here now must mean she's going to the back mountain to cut black bamboo.
A smile appeared on Li Yao's face. He never expected to run into the little girl Tian Ling'er here.
Now that we've run into each other, shouldn't we go up and say hello, and maybe copy the Amber Crimson Silk over as well?
So he called out, "Junior sister in front, please wait a moment."
Hearing someone speaking behind her, Tian Ling'er put away the Amber Crimson Silk and fell from the air. The Amber Crimson Silk seemed to have a spirit and automatically wrapped around Tian Ling'er's waist.
Tian Ling'er turned around and saw a strange young man. She frowned and asked, "Who are you? Did you call me?"
Li Yao also landed on the Overlord Divine Spear, reached out and put the spear away, casually saying, "Junior Sister must be Tian Ling'er, right? I am Li Er, a disciple of Tongtian Peak."
"Li Er of Tongtian Peak?"
Tian Ling'er thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "How come I've never heard of you?"
Li Yao said without changing his expression, "I only recently joined the Qingyun Sect, so you may not have heard of me."
Tian Ling'er carefully examined Li Yao, then shook her head and said, "You're lying to me. The clothes you're wearing aren't the attire of our Qingyun Sect at all."
Li Yao thought to himself, "This little girl is quite clever; she's not easy to fool."
However, he remained calm and said, "The Qingyun Sect's clothes are dirty. These are the clothes I brought before I joined the sect."
Tian Ling'er rolled her eyes and shook her head again, saying, "It's still not right. I just saw you fly by manipulating objects. In our Qingyun Sect, even the most talented disciples need more than a year to learn how to fly by manipulating objects. But you just said that you joined the Qingyun Sect not long ago, which is obviously a lie."
Li Yao was speechless. Was this still the innocent and carefree Tian Ling'er? How could she have so many ulterior motives!
Tian Ling'er's face turned cold, and she shouted, "Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do by sneaking into Dazhu Peak? Tell me the truth now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Li Yao chuckled and said leisurely, "I'd like to see how you're going to treat me rudely."
Tian Ling'er's beautiful eyes widened, and with a flick of her arms, her red dress fluttered as she slowly rose into the air. She crossed her arms over her chest, making a delicate gesture with her fingers, and shouted, "Binding God!"
Before she finished speaking, a burst of light appeared, and the amber silk ribbon that had been wrapped around her waist suddenly flew out and stopped in front of Tian Ling'er.
After a crisp sound, the rosy light shone brightly, growing rapidly with the wind, multiplying many times over in an instant, filling the entire mountain forest to the brim.
Immediately, the rosy light transformed into countless ribbons that rushed towards Li Yao, surrounding him completely.
"This is Amber Crimson Silk?"
"That's interesting!"
Li Yao watched quietly as Tian Ling'er used her magic weapon, the Amber Crimson Silk.
When Tian Ling'er saw Li Yao standing still as if he were dumbfounded, she was overjoyed. She never expected that her first fight with someone would scare him so badly.
Unfortunately, her joy was short-lived. She soon noticed that the rosy glow had dimmed, and the thousands of fiery red ribbons had, in the blink of an eye, returned to their original state, transforming into an amber ribbon.
However, the Amber and Crimson Silk had already fallen into the hands of the other party.
Tian Ling'er was extremely anxious and immediately shouted, "Give me back my Amber Crimson Silk!"
"OK!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, then pointed his finger at Tian Ling'er and shouted, "Bind the God!"
Immediately, the amber silk ribbon burst forth with light, transforming into countless crimson ribbons that rushed towards Tian Ling'er.
Tian Ling'er was dumbfounded, and even more surprised and suspicious. How could the other party also use her magic weapon?
Chapter 316 Soul Capture
Tian Ling'er never expected that Li Yao could also use her magic weapon, the Amber Crimson Silk.
In fact, the moment Li Yao held the Amber Crimson Silk in his hand, he copied it.
At the same time, he also learned how to use this magical artifact.
Therefore, he also knew how to control the amber and crimson silk.
Soon, Tian Ling'er was firmly bound by her amber cinnabar ribbon.
This is called being trapped by one's own actions!
However, since Amber Silk is Tian Ling'er's magic weapon, she naturally knows how to retrieve it.
Immediately, with a thought, the amber silk ribbon, as if possessing a spirit, automatically released itself from her, circled around her, and wrapped itself around her waist.
Just as she was still in shock, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and the other person instantly appeared in front of her, only a foot away.
At the same time, before she could react, she felt that the other person's gaze was like an abyss, drawing her in and making it impossible for her to extricate herself.
Immediately, she felt her eyelids getting heavy and she wanted to sleep, so she slumped backward.
Li Yao helped Tian Ling'er up and kept saying in her ear, "I didn't see anything just now..."
Tian Ling'er seemed to be under a spell, her eyes tightly closed, repeatedly saying Li Yao's words: "I didn't see anything just now..."
Li Yao used hypnosis to erase Tian Ling'er's memories of him.
He then laid Tian Ling'er flat on the ground, collected the attributes she had dropped, and then vanished in a flash.
Not long after, Tian Ling'er slowly woke up, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
She found herself lying on the ground and muttered to herself, "How did I end up on the ground?"
She looked around, her small brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "What... happened just now?"
After thinking hard for a while, she shook her head and said, "Could it be that I was too tired and fell asleep?"
Then, she looked up at the sun, suddenly slapped her forehead, and said, "Oh dear, it's so late, and I haven't cut any bamboo yet!"
As she spoke, she got up from the ground and rushed into the bamboo forest, quickly forgetting the doubts in her heart.
...
At this moment, Li Yao was riding the Overlord Divine Spear, flying towards the depths of the back mountain.
Soon, he noticed that the trees ahead were thinning out, and light was shining through, revealing a clearing with the sound of water.
After flying for a while, he suddenly found himself in a bright open space with pebbles on the ground and a small, clear pool in the middle, its water rippling and flowing westward.
Li Yao knew that the Soul-Capturing Staff should be in the Jade Pool.
Centered on a deep blue pool, within a radius of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), not a single blade of grass grew.
However, just three zhang away, there was a dense forest.
The reason for this strange phenomenon is that the Soul-Capturing Staff in the Jade Pool has the power to capture souls.
According to ancient records: There was a strange iron in the heavens that fell into the nine netherworlds. The ghost fire of the underworld burned the evil spirits and fierce souls to refine it. It took a thousand years to turn red, a thousand years to take shape, a thousand years to gather the evil spirits and fierce energy, and a thousand years to acquire the ability to capture souls.
When any living being gets close, their spirit will be affected, causing a feeling of nausea and vomiting. If this continues for a long time, their soul may even be taken away, putting their life in danger.
Therefore, nothing grows around the Soul-Capturing Staff.
Li Yao tried to get closer, but immediately felt nauseous and extremely uncomfortable.
He quickly retreated.
Unexpectedly, even with his powerful mental strength, he was still affected by the Soul-Capturing Staff.
This Soul-Capturing Staff is indeed not comparable to ordinary magic weapons!
It seems the only option is to let the Bloodthirsty Bead fight the Soul-Seizing Staff to suppress its magic.
So he took out the original Bloodthirsty Bead from his spatial storage.
Because the Bloodthirsty Bead was suppressed by Puzhi using Buddhist magic, its malevolent energy was restricted and it could no longer absorb human essence and blood.
Therefore, Li Yao was never affected by the Blood-Devouring Bead.
However, when he took the Bloodthirsty Bead out of the space, the Bloodthirsty Bead was affected by the Soul-Seizing Staff, and its original deep purple appearance had turned into light purple.
Moreover, the azure energy inside, stimulated by the Soul-Capturing Staff, swirled ten times faster, spinning incessantly and crashing against the bead's surface.
Because of the Buddhist mantra '卍' symbol blocking the outer layer of the bead, the azure energy could not break through the bead.
Li Yao wanted the Bloodthirsty Bead to subdue the Soul-Seizing Staff, so he threw the Bloodthirsty Bead toward the center of the Jade Pool.
At the same time, he pointed with his right hand, and a golden magical force struck the Bloodthirsty Bead precisely.
With a muffled thud, a faint golden light flashed, and the swastika on the Bloodthirsty Bead shattered instantly.
Immediately, the bead emitted a bright blue light, turning the entire bead blue, and a thick blue aura enveloped the entire space of the green pool.
At the same time, a rumbling sound arose from the green pool.
Suddenly, a storm arose, and pebbles in the pool shot out in all directions with a loud bang.
The emerald green pool suddenly surged with waves, swirling rapidly around the center to form a large whirlpool.
Within the swirling vortex, through the gaps in the water, a club slowly rose, billowing with black smoke.
It was a short, jet-black rod, about two feet long, neither gold nor iron, and exuded a fierce aura.
"This is the Soul-Capturing Staff!"
Li Yao was overjoyed.
He knew that these two magical treasures would only unleash their greatest power when they were fused together through blood refining.
So he bit his finger and pointed it at the Blood-Devouring Bead; a bright red line of blood shot towards the bead.
The Bloodthirsty Bead immediately emitted a bright blue light, which grew stronger and stronger.
At the same time, amidst a rapid splash of water, the dark Soul-Seizing Staff suddenly shot out, rushing towards the Blood-Devouring Bead that was radiating a bright blue light.
boom!
The Soul-Capturing Staff struck the Blood-Devouring Bead, and wisps of black energy continued to surge forward.
The Bloodthirsty Bead refused to back down and fought back with all its might, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
