Chapter 1225: The Best Candidate For Possession

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Lu Xinlan stood up with a smile.

"Everyone."

"Mr. Yi is of a calm disposition and does not enjoy such occasions. When our Wanbao Tower won the grand competition, he was the same. Xinlan does not know where Mr. Yi is, but I presume he is currently in a quiet place, seeking solitude."

Hearing this.

The guests showed no signs of disappointment; instead, their faces were filled with even more reverence.

Shi Tianchuan and several other magnates also sighed with admiration.

"Mr. Yi's demeanor is something we can hardly match."

"To leave quietly after accomplishing great deeds, hiding one's fame and identity. Mr. Yi's actions should be a model for all of us cultivators!"

"Indeed, indeed. If we could learn even a fraction of such a calm mindset, it would be immensely beneficial in the future!"

"To Mr. Yi!"

In everyone's minds, the image of a serene figure who remained indifferent to worldly affairs was etched deeply. They all raised their cups in unison!

Whether it was the three great magnates, the people from Sunshine Island who had once known Yi Feng, or even the Black Island magnates who had been in constant conflict, these previously unrelated elites now felt a growing closeness, their eyes filled with the same longing and reverence.

Laughing and looking at each other, they felt a sense of relief as past grievances dissipated. After experiencing the trials of a great battle and witnessing Mr. Yi's extraordinary demeanor, many had significantly elevated their state of mind.

Even Lu Shuyao seemed like a different person.

She stood up gracefully, her beautiful eyes misty with emotion.

Sitting back down, she no longer harbored any reservations. Hearing everyone praise Yi Feng brought her more joy than anything else, and she reveled in the unprecedented sense of closeness, feeling as though she had become much more open-minded.

This Mr. Yi had single-handedly shattered the chains of fate that bound the 72 islands of the East Sea, accomplishing what no one dared to imagine, yet he remained as calm and composed as ever.

Such demeanor was truly that of a cultivator.

Fame and fortune were like passing clouds, and grievances and emotions were but a laugh.

Lu Shuyao sipped her wine and pushed her cup forward, feeling increasingly at ease. It was as if she had completely let go of everything, and she had never realized before how fragrant aged wine could be.

The continuous stream of reverent praises in her ears made her heart race like a startled deer.

Once.

As the high and mighty young lady of Wanbao Tower, she had only thought about power. It was both the result of her fate and her struggle against the oppression of the Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan.

She had thought that with power, she could escape the fate of being a celestial maiden, but she had never imagined that such a tragic destiny could be changed.

Until now.

The terrifying Heavenly Dragon Mermaid Clan had been utterly defeated by Mr. Yi Feng, and the unimaginable fate had disintegrated in an instant!

Such a miraculous feat could be likened to a deity of the East Sea!

Mr. Yi, truly a god descended from heaven.

The more she thought about it, the more reverence she felt, and the more her heart raced. The image of his heroic and resolute face kept appearing in her mind, filling her with an indescribable sweetness.

Even after the banquet ended.

She stayed alone in her simple courtyard, her heart filled with more joy than ever before.

As she gazed dreamily at the moonlight.

Lu Shuyao suddenly felt her mind become incredibly clear, her entire being purified, as if she had reached an extremely profound state. Unconsciously, her spiritual consciousness was able to manifest and leave her body!

Her spiritual consciousness floated in mid-air, looking down at her own body in astonishment, feeling the warmth of her jade-like hands, her beautiful eyes trembling with surprise.

"The Great Perfection of the Heavenly Soul Technique!"

"I never thought that achieving mental clarity would bring such enlightenment!"

Her spiritual consciousness soared in the air, and her heart was filled with even more excitement.

"Meeting Mr. Yi Feng is truly a great blessing…"

As she was moved by these thoughts.

Lu Shuyao missed Yi Feng even more, and her spiritual consciousness couldn't help but fly into the clouds, standing under the bright moon, searching for Mr. Yi Feng's figure.

The night scenery of the entire island was within her view.

This new perspective was clearly different from before. Not only could she clearly see what she usually saw, but she could also sense the presence of different spiritual souls.

Flying freely through the clouds, Lu Shuyao felt an overwhelming sense of novelty.

Unfortunately.

After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find any trace of Mr. Yi Feng.

Even after flying over the Black Island's main hall, there was still no sign of him.

"If I send a message using my spiritual power, would Mr. Yi dislike it…"

Just as she murmured these words, her body stiffened.

The magnificent hall beneath her feet showed no abnormalities, but the small side hall of the Saintess not far away exuded a chilling coldness, unlike any human spiritual soul she had ever encountered.

It was a cold, dark sensation!

Looking down at the smallest side hall, Lu Shuyao's spiritual body frowned in surprise.

"The person residing here should be the Fourth Saintess, Lu Caiwei…"

"This foreign Saintess, who was once from the righteous path, shouldn't have such a dark spiritual power, right?"

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became.

Lu Shuyao's spiritual body quietly descended, her nearly transparent figure standing silently outside the carved railings, slowly making her way towards the lit boudoir.

Before she could take more than a few steps, she heard a hoarse, sinister laugh.

"Hehe…"

"I told you before, Shi Tianchuan is not the best candidate. His cultivation is indeed impressive, but far from the peak. Such a second-rate figure is not worth possessing!"

"Now, you should believe my words, right?"

Possessing the Island Lord?!

Hearing such shocking words, Lu Shuyao's spiritual body froze in place!

What was even more bizarre was that this voice was filled with a dark, sinister aura. The closer she got, the colder she felt, completely different from the spiritual souls of the tens of thousands of humans on the island!

Why was there such a spiritual power in Saintess Lu's room?!

With trepidation, she quietly approached.

Peering through the carved wooden bed, Lu Shuyao looked inside.

After a thorough search.

She discovered that the beautifully decorated boudoir was empty, except for Lu Caiwei sitting alone in front of the dressing table, a sinister smile on her face.

That hoarse voice was actually coming from within Lu Caiwei's body!

"Back then, I told you to wait because your cultivation was awakening rapidly. A trash like Shi Tianchuan was no longer worth possessing!"

"Now, it seems my intuition was correct. A more suitable candidate has appeared!"

Lu Caiwei smiled as she combed her hair, cold light flickering in her eyes.

"Indeed!"

"You are right."

"Shi Tianchuan's cultivation is indeed lacking. That Yi Feng is truly unfathomable, the most suitable candidate for possession!"

The hoarse laughter rang out again, filled with a cold, insatiable hunger!

"Hehe…"

"You are indeed clever, and your judgment has greatly improved. I am very satisfied!"

"Don't worry, the demonic possession technique of our demon race is incredibly profound, far beyond what mere humans can resist. We share one body, and once the possession is successful, both of us will greatly increase our cultivation, but you will benefit more. I will never harm you!"

Hearing this.

Lu Shuyao's spiritual body turned pale with shock!

Having mastered the Heavenly Soul Technique, she naturally understood that the conversation she was hearing was between two spiritual consciousnesses.

The presence within Lu Caiwei's body was actually a demon?

As a human cultivator, she had actually allowed a demon to inhabit her body and was conspiring with it to possess Mr. Yi Feng?!

Discovering such a shocking secret by accident.

Lu Shuyao was too frightened to make any sound and immediately fled into the sky, rushing back to her own body!

"Who's there?"

However, just as she began to flee, a sharp voice rang out.

Clearly.

She had been discovered.

Lu Shuyao panicked and hurriedly fled.

But behind her, a black hand emerged from the shadows, rapidly closing the distance, now only a few feet away!
