The Most Powerful Bodyguard

Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: Three Conditions

How is that possible?

He actually knows this kind of Secret Technique too!

Then why did he need me to help him chant the Spell...

For a moment, countless question marks popped up in the Grand Elder’s heart.

Unfortunately, at such a critical juncture, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and didn’t dare disturb Yang Yan.

Instead, the peerless beauty at the side lightly parted her pearly teeth and told him the reason.

"What’s so strange about it? This guy just has a very strong capacity for learning. He probably learned part of it when you used it earlier."

This time, the Grand Elder was even more stunned.

He knew very clearly just how difficult the Divine Reading Technique was.

Even for someone like him, who specialized in research on Arrays and Spell arts, he didn’t even know how many days and nights of bitter cultivation he’d spent just to be able to use this high-level technique.

But Yang Yan, on the other hand, without any deliberate study, merely experienced it once and was actually able to use it to a certain extent. It was truly unbelievable.

After half an incense stick’s time, Yang Yan finally opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I’ve found the coordinates."

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed that on the woman’s face, which was usually as cold as an iceberg, there actually appeared a trace of delight...

Yang Yan’s heart sank, suddenly realizing that she was very likely heading for Earth.

For a split second, Yang Yan actually gave rise to a thought—of not going back to Earth.

With such a terrifying existence, once she truly harbored any designs on Earth, they probably wouldn’t have even the slightest chance.

But the moment this thought flashed through his mind, it seemed to be immediately perceived by this terrifying woman.

Her blazing gaze suddenly locked onto Yang Yan, and she smiled lightly. "Don’t hesitate. If I want to go, I can do it even without coordinates!"

Before her voice had even fallen, she suddenly waved her hand, and a cultivator of the Celestial Demon Race was forcibly dragged out of the Void by her.

Bang!

A mist of blood blossomed, and in her hand there was now a black soul.

This is...

Yang Yan’s pupils shrank as he suddenly realized that this woman merely wanted to tell him that she likewise knew how to use the Soul Searching Technique.

In the end, that black soul had all of its memories read amidst agony, then vanished without a trace.

Yang Yan bit down hard on his lip and said to the Grand Elder, "There’s no time to lose, let’s go now!"

The Grand Elder, however, pulled out a jade token. "The Teleportation Array is right here."

After saying that, he directly crushed the jade token. Instantly, brilliant light burst forth, and an Array with a coverage of less than three zhang suddenly emerged before everyone.

Yang Yan did not hesitate. With a flip of his left hand, golden light flashed, turning into a streak of flowing light that shot into the sky. A huge coordinate appeared in midair and was reflected into the Array.

"Is this the coordinate for returning to Earth?" the woman asked as she watched, her tone carrying palpable excitement.

Yang Yan bowed slightly, increasingly wanting to figure out what this woman actually wanted to do on Earth.

The woman cast him a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes, as if she could see into his heart, and casually explained, "Relax. I won’t be detrimental to Earth. If this seat wanted to destroy Earth, would I have waited until now?"

Yang Yan did not speak, only nodded lightly.

But inwardly, he still felt extremely ill at ease.

Though the woman’s words were partly reasonable, Yang Yan still couldn’t set aside his vigilance.

On the Ghost Ship, he had essentially formed a deep and irreconcilable enmity with her.

Yet now she was acting as if nothing had happened, not only keeping silent about that, but even helping him. Judging by this posture, if she wasn’t planning to return to Earth together with him, she must have a great purpose in mind.

Others naturally couldn’t understand the relationship between this woman and Yang Yan.

Even though the Grand Elder could sense the fear of this woman emanating from Yang Yan, he still felt grateful toward her for taking action at a critical moment and saving them, as well as for wiping out those remaining Celestial Demons.

He cupped his fists respectfully toward the woman. "Many thanks, honored one, for saving our lives and also for eliminating these remnants of the Celestial Demons. May I ask how we should address you, honored one?"

"Nie Suyuan!"

The woman lightly spat out three syllables, then fell silent, her gaze once again shifting to Yang Yan.

The Grand Elder originally wanted to say more, but Yang Yan hurriedly stopped him.

"Grand Elder, it’s getting late. Let’s set off."

"Mm!" Seeing Yang Yan speak, the Grand Elder no longer asked questions. With a sweep of his sleeve, the Teleportation Array suddenly shone with resplendent light, and a door appeared.

Nie Suyuan looked at the Teleportation Array before her with open disdain. "This thing is far too unstable. If you run into a space-time storm, who knows where you’ll be flung."

Bang!

As her words fell, she flipped her fair hand, and a Teleportation Altar forged from black Profound Jade was directly summoned out.

Seeing the woman’s altar, the Grand Elder’s eyes widened.

This is... a Space-Time Altar!

Rumor had it that this kind of altar could not only break open the Void, it could even traverse time itself!

Yang Yan evidently also recognized the origin of this altar; his brows couldn’t help but twitch.

However, when he thought of the woman’s identity, Yang Yan immediately felt at ease again.

To be the master of the Ghost Ship—naturally it was only reasonable for her to possess such treasures.

He waved a hand at the Grand Elder, who was nearly in a daze, then focused his mind and directly projected the Earth coordinates he’d locked with his soul memory onto the Space-Time Altar.

The Gate of Space slowly opened, but Yang Yan did not move.

Nie Suyuan looked at Yang Yan slowly. "What now, weren’t you in a hurry to return to Earth? Why aren’t you going?"

Though Yang Yan knew full well he couldn’t possibly stop her, he still took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I can take you to Earth, but I need to lay down three terms."

"You still have demands? You trying to die?" Nie Suyuan’s eyes widened. "Hmph! You dare to give orders to this seat! I haven’t even settled the score from last time with you!"

"If you don’t agree, then I’d rather not go back. Even if you read my soul memory, I still refuse to watch Earth’s living beings plunged into misery and suffering!" Yang Yan gritted his teeth, simply putting everything on the line.

Though he couldn’t stop this woman, he could not bring trouble to Earth, much less become an accomplice.

He could not bear to see his hometown turned into a human Purgatory, and he was even less willing to see his family members dying one by one or becoming slaves.

Otherwise, he would rather die!

"Go on then, let’s hear it. I want to see what kind of bold demands you can still make at a time like this." Seeing the resolve in Yang Yan’s eyes, Nie Suyuan suddenly laughed, asking with keen interest.

Yang Yan met her gaze calmly, eyes firm, and extended one finger. "First, in Earth’s present world, you must obey me in all things, and in particular, you must not slaughter the innocent at will."

After stating the first condition, Yang Yan immediately shut his mouth, waiting for her response.

"Present world? So that means Earth is split in two, with two different worlds existing?" Nie Suyuan asked.

Yang Yan shot her a slightly surprised look, then immediately told her about Earth’s current situation.

After listening, Nie Suyuan nodded lightly and said offhandedly, "Don’t take this seat for some bloodthirsty demoness. As long as they don’t provoke this seat, I can’t be bothered to bicker with ants!"
