As Ye Yu’s divine power ran dry, the effects of All Beings Equal completely dissipated.
In order to make Duan Nianzhi settle down completely—
Ye Yu directly locked her into a chokehold.
His right arm wrapped around Duan Nianzhi’s neck while his body tightly pinned her down.
The posture perhaps was not especially elegant. It looked more like mortal close quarters combat.
But there was no helping it.
Ye Yu had already gone through one battle back at the Qi residence.
Then the divine robe drained away half his remaining divine power, and afterward he forcibly activated All Beings Equal once more.
The divine power within his body was practically empty.
Aside from physically restraining Duan Nianzhi, Ye Yu genuinely could not think of a better method for the moment.
And besides, the posture itself was not important.
What mattered was whether it worked.
As long as Ye Yu wished it, he could shatter Duan Nianzhi’s divine soul at any moment.
After all, without the protection of a divine body, a divine soul was extremely fragile.
Duan Nianzhi clearly understood this as well, so after recovering herself, she did not recklessly move immediately.
“What exactly do you want?”
“That’s the question I should be asking you. What are you trying to do? Why did you attack her?”
Ye Yu’s voice was ice cold as his right arm subconsciously tightened.
He intended to pressure Duan Nianzhi this way and force her to release Han Yuexi.
At that moment, however, a puzzled voice suddenly sounded nearby.
“What are the two of you doing?”
Ye Yu turned his head and saw that Han Yuexi had somehow already awakened from unconsciousness.
She was lying atop the cloud bed, curiously staring at the two of them.
Ye Yu was completely dumbfounded.
She woke up already?
Wasn’t this supposed to be some sort of possession or mind control situation?
One stick of incense later.
Ye Yu, Han Yuexi, and Duan Nianzhi sat together in a circle. The atmosphere no longer carried the same murderous tension as before.
“So what you’re saying is... Han Yuexi’s humanity and divine nature were colliding and merging, causing her to faint at the Qi residence. Since you happened to be nearby, you brought her back and helped her completely fuse her human side and divine side perfectly?”
Duan Nianzhi nodded vigorously and said unhappily, “That’s exactly what happened. Otherwise, what did you think was going on?
Honestly, when I saw you attack me earlier, I was completely stunned.
I helped save your friend, and you still wanted to kill me?
What kind of logic is that?”
Hearing those words, Ye Yu immediately felt extremely awkward and had no idea what to say.
But after thinking about it again, something still felt very wrong.
He immediately raised a hand and pointed toward Han Qianzhang, who remained unconscious nearby.
“You can explain away Han Yuexi’s situation, but what about Han Qianzhang? How are you going to explain that?”
Duan Nianzhi looked at Han Qianzhang in confusion.
“What? You know him too?”
Han Yuexi softly answered, “He’s my younger brother.”
Duan Nianzhi could not help laughing.
“The God Realm really is small.”
Afterward, she began explaining Han Qianzhang’s situation.
A few days earlier, while Duan Nianzhi had been searching through ancient texts inside the City Lord’s Manor, she suddenly sensed an unusual aura.
As a divine soul without a divine body, she was especially sensitive toward abnormal souls.
So she quickly tracked down Han Qianzhang.
At the time, beside him stood a burly Buddhist martial monk.
That monk was extraordinarily strange.
Not only did he lack even the slightest trace of the peaceful orthodox aura associated with Buddhism—
He instead radiated bloodlust and brutality.
At a glance, it was obvious he had absorbed a tremendous amount of ancient violent aura.
Duan Nianzhi quickly discovered that this monk had controlled Han Qianzhang’s mind and turned him into a vacant walking corpse.
Furthermore, the two of them had openly robbed a member of the God Clan inside Zhefengdu before fleeing Divine City.
As the lord of Divine City, Duan Nianzhi naturally could not simply ignore such a thing.
Thus, ten thousand li outside the city, she used a divine artifact to repel the monk.
That attack also severed the connection between the monk and Han Qianzhang.
Han Qianzhang immediately collapsed in front of Duan Nianzhi.
Seeing this pitiful member of the God Clan suffering under the torment of ancient violent aura, Duan Nianzhi wanted to help him.
Meeting was fate.
Which meant this fellow’s life was not meant to end yet.
But after Duan Nianzhi had her divine attendants bring Han Qianzhang back to Divine City, she discovered something else.
This man possessed an extremely special destiny.
He was extraordinary talent.
At this point in the story, Ye Yu could not help interrupting.
“You think everyone is extraordinary talent!”
Those words immediately earned him an angry glare from Duan Nianzhi.
Still, she did not argue with him further and simply continued.
Duan Nianzhi discovered that Han Qianzhang already contained multiple clusters of ancient violent aura within his body.
Combined with whatever secret technique that Buddhist martial monk had used on him, Han Qianzhang’s divine soul had become extraordinarily weak and incapable of controlling his own body.
And on top of that, the ancient violent aura inside him continuously wreaked havoc.
For all these reasons combined, Han Qianzhang had become an extremely easy body for others to control.
In truth, solving this problem and restoring his consciousness was not difficult.
As long as someone shattered the ancient violent aura within his body and then used a secret technique to repair his divine soul, he would recover himself completely.
Coincidentally, around that same time, the Qi family’s eldest young master, Qi Jiang, arrived alone at the City Lord’s Manor and sought out Duan Nianzhi.
The first thing he said was that he wanted to kill his own father.
Truthfully speaking, Duan Nianzhi was extremely supportive of such a crazy proposal.
After all, Qi Renjia was not a good person to begin with.
And in addition to openly disregarding Divine City’s laws and slaughtering his own clansmen, there was simply no justice in the heavens if someone like him did not die!
Moreover, he also happened to be an excellent tool.
He was perfectly suited to helping Han Qianzhang shatter the ancient violent aura within his body.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Han Qianzhang’s physique first needed to be properly adjusted. Otherwise, reaching the Ancient God Realm from the Golden God Realm would have looked too absurd.
Thus, in only a few short days, Duan Nianzhi helped Han Qianzhang rise from the Golden God Realm all the way to the Ancient God Realm!
According to her own words, nobody understood cultivation better than she did.
For those members of the God Clan who did not know how to cultivate properly, she could help them stimulate all of their latent potential and break through to entirely new limits in a short period of time.
That was the project Duan Nianzhi had painstakingly researched for years.
After hearing her explanation, both Ye Yu and Han Yuexi subconsciously nodded.
It seemed they really had wronged Duan Nianzhi.
She was actually a good person.
But then what exactly was going on with that fleeing Buddhist martial monk?
Why had he targeted Han Qianzhang?
Seeing that neither Han Yuexi nor Ye Yu spoke, Duan Nianzhi could not help asking, “What? You still don’t believe me? Perfect timing anyway. The ancient violent aura inside this kid has already been shattered. How about I restore his consciousness right now so he can personally explain everything to you?
Hm?
Where’s his divine soul?”
The moment he heard that final sentence, Ye Yu suddenly remembered something extremely important.
Han Qianzhang’s divine soul still seemed to be suffering horribly.
Thus he hurriedly took out the Great Thousand Soul Seizing Lamp and placed it in front of Duan Nianzhi.
“Han Qianzhang’s divine soul is inside here.”
Duan Nianzhi peered into the Great Thousand Soul Seizing Lamp for a single glance before immediately giving Ye Yu a thumbs up.
“You’re pretty ruthless toward your friend’s younger brother.
You truly are a cold hearted extraordinary talent!”
