Chapter 1035: The Petrified Lan Xiaoni

Lan Xiaoni had absolute confidence.

She was a powerful being at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage with a superb aptitude and top-tier cultivation methods. She had also mastered too many mystic techniques to count and possessed many trump cards given to her by her seniors. Who would be a match for her in battle?

Furthermore, she had that as well…

With this in mind, her confident smile grew even wider.

Lan Xiaoni sat on her seashell, patiently waiting for her unlucky enemy.

After a short while.

Crack…

A crisp crack sounded in mid-air.

The space nearby began to crack open.

A huge spatial passageway appeared not far away from Lan Xiaoni.

A massive turtle slowly made its way out of the spatial passageway. Even though it had subdued its aura, Lan Xiaoni’s body still tightened up at the sight of it for some reason.

After getting a clear view of the turtle, Lan Xiaoni drew a sharp intake of breath, and her body tensed up even further. This turtle was the High Priest of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe, Gu Yu!

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t dare to say anything in the face of such a legendary figure.

However, she had the High Priest of the Spirit Fish Clan, Yu Feiyu, with her today.

Yu Feiyu was comparable to Gu Yu in power, so she was not scared.

“Hehe, who would have thought that the key would end up in the hands of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe again after all this time.” Lan Xiaoni chuckled lightly with a dismissive glint in her eyes. “But there is no one in your Heavenly Turtle Tribe that is a match for me!”

That’s right, the battle was going to be decided in the Fallen God Seabed Tomb, not here!

All she would have to do was to pummel the crap out of the living being that would enter the tomb with her.

The Spirit Fish Clan’s victory was assured.

All of a sudden, a voice sounded from within the spatial passageway.

“Oh? Is she my opponent?

“My God! This is my lucky day!”

A figure emerged from the spatial passageway with excitement on his face.

Lan Xiaoni turned toward the spatial gate, and her pupils contracted as her mouth gaped open in shock. A series of traumatizing memories began to surface in her mind.

She almost fell off her seashell from fear as she let loose a high-pitched shriek. “Ah…!”

“An Lin! How could it be you?” Lan Xiaoni was scared sh*tless. Never would she have thought that her opponent would be this man!

With her strength and aptitude, she had absolute confidence against any Soul Formation Stage cultivator. Not even Chen Nan was a match for her. No matter who she encountered, they would be mere cannon fodder in her eyes.

Or at least… that was the case…

Until she encountered this living hack…

At the sight of Lan Xiaoni’s terrified expression, An Lin patted Gu Yu’s head with a smile. “Senior Turtle, do you see that? My so-called biggest enemy from the Spirit Fish Clan has already lost.”

Gu Yu: “…”

Gu Yu was feeling quite depressed. Couldn’t the Spirit Fish Clan representative have just a little more backbone?

Gu Yu was now seriously doubting whether there had been a problem with its divination!

An Lin felt like Gu Yu was a fake High Priest. Prior to coming here, Gu Yu had been warning him about how bad*ss and powerful his opponent would be, but after actually coming here, he discovered that his opponent was a piece of trash.

Tears welled up in Lan Xiaoni’s eyes. That’s right, fear had driven her to the point of tears!

At that moment, she appeared extremely vulnerable and helpless…

She raised her head with an aggrieved and fearful expression to look at Yu Feiyu. “High Priest… This is the opponent that I’m supposed to have a chance at defeating?”

“My divination won’t be wrong. You have a very good chance of winning. Trust me,” Yu Feiyu reassured in an expressionless voice.

Lan Xiaoni: “…”

For the first time, Lan Xiaoni’s thoughts mirrored An Lin’s.

She felt like the High Priest beside her was a fake High Priest! What the f*ck was this about her having a good chance at winning? How the f*ck was she supposed to win?!

Was this a competition to see who had the biggest breasts?!

“Lan Xiaoni, don’t forget that you have the most regal bloodline of the Spirit Fish Clan. You will be acknowledged by our ancestors when you enter the tomb, while your opponent is only a human…”

“There’s no time to waste. Your father and brothers have made painstaking efforts to get you here. Remember that you are carrying the hopes of the entire Spirit Fish Clan on your shoulders,” Yu Feiyu continued in an expressionless voice.

Lan Xiaoni gritted her teeth and looked up An Lin before mustering up what appeared to be more courage than what she was capable of. “An… An Lin, don’t think that I’m scared of you! We’ll… we’ll see who gets the last laugh!”

The poor girl was stuttering from fear.

Can you please wipe the tears from your face and ensure that your voice isn’t trembling before you say something like that?

A wicked smile appeared on An Lin’s face. “Hehehe…”

Lan Xiaoni trembled upon seeing An Lin’s smile, and her features turned deathly pale.

Gu Yu couldn’t help but take Lan Xiaoni’s side. “Princess of the Spirit Fish Clan, don’t forget that the Fallen God Seabed Tomb can only be accessed when the two keys are together. If one of the owners of the keys perishes in the Fallen God Seabed Tomb, the owner of the other key will be attacked by the restrictions within the tomb. As such, your life is not in any danger.”

Upon hearing this, Lan Xiaoni faltered before turning to Gu Yu with a grateful expression.

That was indeed the case. She had absolutely sh*t herself at the sight of An Lin and completely forgotten about this detail.

With this in mind, Lan Xiaoni puffed out her chest and immediately felt a lot more confident.

An Lin turned to Gu Yu with an expression of shock.

Why the hell was this turtle boosting the morale of his enemy?

Had it gone insane?!

Gu Yu raised its head and looked up into the sky with a mysterious and profound expression.

The enemy was simply too weak and cowardly for Gu Yu to stand aside and do nothing. It couldn’t allow its reputation to be ruined by this sniveling Spirit Fish Clan princess!

It looked at Lan Xiaoni with a meaningful expression. With encouragement glowing from its eyes, it tried to instill her with the confidence to oppose An Lin!

Lan Xiaoni took a deep breath before pulling a map out of her storage ring and turning to An Lin. “Come here! We have to put our maps together to open the passageway into the tomb!”

An Lin had heard about this process from Gu Yu.

When the two halves of the map combined together, the owners of the map would be able to enter the tomb.

An Lin flew toward Lan Xiaoni.

Lan Xiaoni looked at the man flying toward her and silently swallowed. Even her breathing had become a lot fainter. This was an instinctive response to danger, and she wasn’t even aware of it herself.

Gu Yu was befuddled. It had clearly predicted that An Lin’s opponent would pose quite a big threat to him. Why did that not appear to be the case at all?

Furthermore, it didn’t appear as if Lan Xiaoni was putting on an act.

“You uh… You go on the bottom, I’ll go on top!”

Lan Xiaoni splayed open her map and instructed in a feeble voice.

An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.

Lan Xiaoni’s body trembled upon seeing this. “Or… you can go on top and I can go on the bottom.”

Gu Yu: “…”

Yu Feiyu: “…”

An Lin was indeed very powerful, but did she have to be this spineless?

You’re the representative of the younger generation of the Spirit Fish Clan! Have more backbone!

“Alright, I’ll go on top, you go on the bottom,” An Lin decided in a cold voice.

Lan Xiaoni nodded obediently, more so out of a self-preservation instinct than anything else.

She was a mermaid that could give up everything, including her own life, for love, but under normal circumstances, she was actually quite cowardly.

After all, she was a princess who had been pampered all her life, so how could she be expected to have the courage to stand up to a living hack who could even thrash Return to Void Stage mighty figures.

An Lin placed his map on top of Lan Xiaoni’s.

The two maps came together to form a complete map.

After the maps combined as one, heaven and earth suddenly fell silent.
