I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Chapter 394 Soul Cliff Imprint

Sunset.

As soon as the streetlights in Yonghe Community came on, Tong Shuling returned with her schoolbag on her back, bathed in a warm yellow glow.

She went straight to the sixth floor, stopped in front of Lin Yan's room, and then knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, no one opened the door.

Tong Shuling knocked a few more times and called out from close to the door, "Lin Yan, are you there?"

A silence.

She noticed light coming from under the door and asked in confusion, "The light's on. Where did you go?"

Tong Shuling walked into her house, turning back every few steps.

Night fell.

For Lin Yan, tonight should be a beautiful night with a clear moon and gentle breeze, just like any other.

But after sunset, she suddenly had a splitting headache when she switched to Lan Feiyu's body.

Her body fell to the ground uncontrollably, and whenever she had the thought of returning to her original form, her soul would suffer even greater torment, experiencing unbearable pain.

Lin Yan had long guessed that Lan Feiyu would leave some kind of skill in this body, but Lan Yu couldn't find it, and Lan Feiyu's control over her would be useless and would also expose her.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, as dawn broke, the pain subsided, and Lin Yan slowly got up, supporting herself on a chair. She took out her phone, asked Zhang Jinglue for a number, and dialed it.

"Hello, Teacher Wang, I'm Lin Yan. I'd like to ask how Lan Feiyu is doing at the academy?"

Wang Xianlin, his eyes still sleepy, glanced at the time—seven o'clock sharp—and sighed wearily, "She's been in the cage the whole time. Is there something you need?"

"fine."

Without a moment's hesitation, Wang Xianlin hung up the phone, put it down, and lay down for a nap.

"I'm so idle all day long. Sigh, it's a relief that I don't have to get up at 8 am today."

Lin Yan put down his phone, his eyes darkening.

This is not Lan Fei's language!

But besides Lan Feiyu, who else could possibly harm her?

Lin Yan rubbed his head, completely baffled.

She has reached level 72, but she has no means to defend against Lan Feiyu.

The ancient divine weapons and treasures in her storage container were too low-level for her to unleash even half their power.

The sound-clearing device with red-level star patterns inside the body can only prevent eavesdropping.

Lin Yan sat alone, lost in thought for a long time, and suddenly felt extremely lonely.

Before she knew it, she thought of Shi Jing again. Her eyes hardened, and she cleared her mind of all distractions.

I don't want to die.

He's still waiting for me.

At this moment, the bronze ring on his right hand emitted a ray of light, and Lin Yan realized that Bai Wen had put on the bronze ring.

A new idea immediately came to mind. Bai Wen's strength was unfathomable; perhaps he had a way to deal with Lan Feiyu. He immediately transmitted his voice to him: "Bai Wen, have you ever heard of the Sealed Void Realm?"

On the other side, Bai Wen seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Which immortal descendant did you meet in the Holy Land?"

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Blue Night Immortal Clan, her name is Lan Feiyu, she is at the second level of the Sealed Void Realm, and my immortal body belongs to her."

It was only during her previous encounter with the void that she realized there was something strange about her body.

The two discussed this matter, which led to their trip to the Pei family's sacred land.

So when Bai Wen heard that she was in trouble, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Fortunately, she survived.

Bai Wen knew about that immortal body, but he never imagined that the original owner's soul still existed.

This is truly unbelievable.

Lin Yan continued, "Lan Feiyu's soul is still in the city. Bai Wen, how much do you know about the powerful immortal cultivators in the Sealed Void Realm?"

Bai Wen paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I only know that the souls of those in the Sealed Void Realm can freely enter and exit the trial secret realms of their native cities, while the physical bodies with the imprint of the laws of heaven and earth are restricted because of their high level."

However, the soul body is easily prey for certain kinds of strange beasts outside the Great World. In my city, anyone who goes to the Lingjue Realm will go to the Trial Secret Realm and then leave.

I know what you're worried about, and it's true that we need to be careful. Lan Feiyu's Sealed Void Realm Immortal Body is something a human soul can't withstand, and you certainly can't cultivate with such an immortal body, unless..."

Lin Yan frowned, his expression grave, and asked, "Unless what?"

"She used the legendary Soul Cliff Seal."

"Is it... a very powerful mark?"

Bai Wen replied, "Yes, that's a kind of magical seal from a strange beast called the Cliff Dream Demon. This beast's magic is mysterious, strange, and extremely powerful."

The Soul Cliff Seal first appeared in the world carved on a mountain rock, constantly overflowing with attribute power. The ancients mistook it for a celestial law, but they could never comprehend it until a master cultivator at the Lingjue Realm tried to carve it on his body.

It then paid a heavy price; none of the six clones survived, and even the separation of their souls from their bodies could not be avoided. The damage it caused was similar to the process of a human's attribute ring shattering.

However, the Soul Cliff Seal's attribute power slowly dissipates over the years. Lan Feiyu gradually lowers her level until the attribute power is exhausted. When the Soul Cliff Seal dissipates, she seals the bloodline inheritance of the Lan Ye Clan on the verge of death.

In this state, the immortal body is almost identical to a human body, undetectable even by the laws of heaven and earth.

Even God couldn't notice?!

Lin Yan was shocked and remained speechless for a long time after hearing this.

Bai Wen continued, "Last time when we dealt with the Holy Rainbow Beast, I taught you to use the Immortal Clan's secret technique. You were able to use it normally, which means that Lan Feiyu's seal has been broken. You need to suppress the inheritance seal as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy for her to turn against you and control you."

It turns out I was backfired by the Inheritance Seal yesterday!

Lin Yan suddenly understood, and then asked eagerly, "What does the Inheritance Seal look like?"

“The golden silk imprint on the ankle is a spiritual mark that doesn’t appear often.”

Lin Yan immediately checked and found that it was indeed not there.

Does it have a spirit?

Wait a minute, the reason Kongwu and Hongdeng knelt down so inexplicably was probably because they saw the Immortal Clan's inheritance seal and were pressured by it.

This thing is too weird.

She quickly asked, "Then how can I suppress it? Uh... can I seal it like Lan Feiyu did? Or is there no way to remove it? It feels like there will be endless trouble if I leave it."

Bai Wen's mind went blank after being bombarded with her questions, and he was speechless for a long time.

Remove?

Is she asking about removing the ancestral mark?

Bai Wen couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yan's mood suddenly brightened, and she asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Bai Wen composed himself and said, "There may be a way to remove the inheritance seal in the world, but I don't have one here. I've only heard of suppression with magic. As for sealing, don't even think about it. You need to be at the Sealing Void Realm like Lan Feiyu."

Lin Yan sighed, "Then what should we do?"

"The inheritance of the immortal race is something that countless humans dream of."

"That thing wants me dead, why would it beg for my life?"

Bai Wen could sense her current depressed and complicated emotions, so he didn't change the subject and replied, "Lin Yan, if you want to suppress the inheritance seal, you must first know that in this world, one's birth may determine the level of one's talent."

But the strongest are not the immortals with their extraordinary talent, nor the dragons with their powerful physiques, but those who persevere in climbing higher and higher.

Lin Yan was confused: "So..."

“Every race has its own heritage, with varying degrees of strength. If you can’t find a magic to suppress it, the simplest way is to find a more powerful heritage to counter it.”

"I understand." In other words, the method to deal with the inheritance seal is to choose between magic and inheritance.

The two stopped communicating telepathically.

Bai Wen removed the copper ring.

Actually, there was one selfish thought he didn't say: he hoped Lin Yan could become very strong, strong enough to leave Tianluo City.

Someday in the future, they may meet in a city far away from each other.

He had no friends before, and never thought he would have any in his life, but then Lin Yan appeared.

From then on, he began to look forward to the future every day.

I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her face to face, and then meet the clever Xiaoye, the book-keeping-loving Xiaolan, and the crybaby Huanhuan...
