Chapter 1072: Stripping Away the Cause and Effect

Wang Chongsong asked, "By the way, have you dealt with that girl's soul?"

Fang Chen's gaze sharpened upon hearing this. The "little girl" he referred to was most likely Fairy Yu.

"Her soul is playing hide and seek with me, but it's nothing. This body is already mine," Fairy Yu responded indifferently. "Once my cultivation increases a bit more, she won't have anywhere to hide."

"Leave her for now. She may be useful someday, or maybe not. We can't say for sure," Wang Chongsong remarked.

Fairy Yu frowned slightly. "What do you mean by that, Master?"

"The cause and effect surrounding her are not insignificant. One day, it might be useful, or it might not be. This matter is uncertain," Wang Chongsong said with a smile. "I'm going to the Thousand Dao Tower. Soon, I'll have someone deliver some Blood Spirit Pills to you so you can advance toward the Dao Union Realm."

Fairy Yu nodded. "Understood."

Fang Chen finally relaxed after hearing their conversation. It seemed that Fairy Yu hadn't changed because of the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, but rather, it had cultivated a new soul and taken over her body instead. This made things much simpler.

Once Fang Chen confirmed that Wang Chongsong had left Great Python City, he stepped out from the shadows.

As soon as Fang Chen appeared, Fairy Yu noticed his presence beside her. She immediately attacked without hesitation.

Fang Chen's gaze flashed, and an aura comparable to that of the Dao Union Realm surged outward. The terrifying spiritual pressure immobilized Fairy Yu, leaving her unable to move an inch.

"It's you," Fairy Yu's gaze flickered, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "I didn't realize it was you, my lord. Please forgive me."

Fang Chen shook his head and said, "You don't need to mimic her way of speaking. You're not her."

Fairy Yu looked confused. "Lord, what do you mean?"

"It seems that from the very beginning, you already had spiritual awareness and quietly took over Little Yu's body," Fang Chen said indifferently.

At this point, Fairy Yu no longer bothered to hide her true identity. Her gaze became indifferent.

"What do you want to do with me? Sleep with you? I'm not her."

"As if I would be interested in you. You're not even a... person," Fang Chen said with a smile.

A flicker of anger flashed in Fairy Yu's seemingly indifferent eyes. She remained silent for a few moments before saying, "So, what do you want? Fairy Yu is already dead. If you want to reminisce, you shouldn't be looking for me. I'm not her, and I have nothing to do with you."

"If Fairy Yu is truly dead, I'll personally send you on your way. But as long as there's even the slightest hope, I have to give it a try," Fang Chen replied.

Fairy Yu frowned. "This is her body. Can you bear to?"

Fang Chen did not answer. Instead, he used the Shadow Buddha Technique to take Fairy Yu and leave Great Python City.

In the desolate valley, with no cultivators nearby, Fang Chen turned to Stone Dragon.

"Lord Stone, with your cultivation, can you discern anything from her?"

Shi Long circled around Fairy Yu, who glared at him with a darkened expression, her heart filled with suspicion

What a powerful individual... Where could he have found himself such an ally?

Having been separated for many years, her memories were stuck in the past, and she knew nothing of Fang Chen's experiences during that time.

"I can't discern anything," Shi Long murmured after a brief pause, shaking his head.

Hearing that, Fang Chen remained silent for a long time. He then instructed Stone Dragon, "Stay nearby and keep watch. Don't let any cultivators wander in."

Once Stone Dragon left, a faint, mocking smile appeared on Fairy Yu's face. "It seems the expert by your side can't help resolve your problem."

"He truly can't. I just wanted him to see if there were other methods before I begin. After all, the method I plan to use is too gruesome. If possible, I don't want to apply it to Little Yu's body," Fang Chen replied.

Fairy Yu furrowed her brow. "What method?"

Fang Chen said nothing. He simply waved his sleeve, and a surge of green light rushed toward Fairy Yu.

The next moment, a piercing pain shot through her scalp, as if someone were ripping her head open. Blood-red light filled her eyes as she locked her gaze on Fang Chen. Sweat began to bead on her forehead as her expression twisted with pain and resentment.

"What are you doing to me?!" she hissed.

Fang Chen said nothing, his face calm as he continued to perform the Skin Peeling Technique.

A few moments later, Fairy Yu began to curse loudly, spewing various resentful words and curses.

Fang Chen ignored her.

Not long after, her entire skin was peeled off. The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo finally became fearful, attaching itself to the human skin, showing a look of terror as she begged for mercy.

Fang Chen kept his eyes fixed on Fairy Yu's until, after a few moments, Fairy Yu suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Fang Chen with immense surprise. "My lord!"

Hearing that familiar tone, Fang Chen sighed in relief. He smiled and nodded. "It's fine now. Just let the skin heal first."

A look of shock appeared on Fairy Yu's face as she realized her body's condition. She quickly enveloped herself with spiritual energy, and a brand-new layer of skin began to grow at a visible rate.

In a little over ten minutes, Fairy Yu returned to her original appearance.

Still shaken, she looked at Fang Chen and said, "Lord, I almost couldn't see you again."

"Everything is fine now. The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo in your body has been successfully dealt with," Fang Chen reassured her.

Fairy Yu looked at the human skin floating in the air, bound by some kind of force, and a flicker of anger appeared in her eyes. She huffed, "This thing is truly despicable. Not only did it occupy my body, but it also tried to refine my soul and steal my memories."

"It should be the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo. The fact that you formed this thing was no accident; it was part of Wang Chongsong's scheme," Fang Chen revealed.

After a conversation, Fang Chen learned that not long after Fairy Yu left, the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo took control of her body. At that time, she realized that Wang Chongsong, the Sect Master of the Void Immortal Sword Sect, had already orchestrated everything.

Subsequently, she was handed over to Huang Chan by Wang Chongsong and taken to Qiufeng.

However, by then, Fairy Yu's soul had already been unable to control her body. Like a rat in a drain, she was constantly evading the devouring power of the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo.

"I'll refine it right away and relieve your anger," Fang Chen said with a smile.

The Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo appeared terrified. It didn't want to be easily refined and continuously begged for mercy. When it saw that begging was futile, it began cursing.

"Wait," Fairy Yu said. "Young Master, it still has some use. While it was devouring my memories, I also learned a few things about it. I used to think that once I condensed the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, I would have to kill people and absorb their lifespan to survive. But that's not the case. It has a special cultivation method. Cultivating with this method is no different from regular cultivators. As long as I refine it, I can continue to practice this method."

Fang Chen looked at Fairy Yu. "Continue practicing this method?"

Fairy Yu nodded. "Wang Chongsong is scheming against me. How can we let him down? But simply destroying the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo isn't enough to quell the anger in my heart."

Fang Chen nodded. "I understand. A woman's desire for revenge can be quite strong. However... are you confident you can trick Wang Chongsong into think you're still the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo?"

He had already guessed what Fairy Yu intended to do.
