Chapter 1362 - Jiang Xiaohan's Farewell 

The entire battlefield seemed to become sealed by this mysterious power. 

Ye Qingyu looked in shock at Jiang Xiaohan.

"The double sealing of time and space, this kind of power..." He was somewhat puzzled about how Jiang Xiaohan came to possess such power, for it was certainly not something she should have. It must be known that although his power was also sufficient to seal time and space, he would not have been able to simultaneously seal the three King of Sovereigns-level experts of this space-time dimension. 

This was verging on Eternal power already. 

Jiang Xiaohan certainly hasn't attained the Eternity Realm, so how is she able to do this? 

Without the arousal of the guzheng music of the Wisp God of Consciousness, Ye Qingyu's divine consciousness finally became clear again. With his will as firm as divine steel, he operated a cultivation technique to dispel all of the black inner demon fog that he had been beleaguered by. At the same time, he suppressed all of the inner demon power within himself. 

He could finally muster his power once again. 

However, he knew full well that the inner demons were only suppressed for the time being.

As soon as the Wisp God of Consciousness broke though the sealing of time and space and played the guzheng music to stir up the power of the inner demons once more, the inner demons would burst out, with no possibility of him offering any resistance. He would then become plagued by those inner demons even faster than the first time he heard the music. 

There was a gleam sparkling in his eyes. 

He tried taking this opportunity to kill the sealed King of Destruction, Abandoned Fiendgod, and Wisp God of Consciousness, but quickly realized that this was impossible, for the area they were in was completely sealed, and the space-time dimension was in a state of quiescence, such that any form of power that entered this area would also become sealed. 

There was no way he could enter this area. 

"Can you still refuse now?" With a ghastly pale countenance, Jiang Xiaohan's figure shook, resembling a sorrowful and drunken person as she looked at Ye Qingyu with a victorious expression in her eyes. "Can you refuse my help? Hahaha, come, say that you refuse one more time."

Ye Qingyu looked back at her. 

He finally felt that Jiang Xiaohan's vitality was gradually diminishing. 

With every moment of time that passed, a layer of Jiang Xiaohan's origin source dissipated. 

This kind of dissipation was not just a diminishing of vitality but more so of the soul. 

When all of her foundation and soul had completely dissipated and depleted, it would mean that she would truly depart from her body and disappear entirely from this world, with no possibility of ever reincarnating or resurrecting. 

She was using the life soul foundation of the All Energy-Absorption Body to enable the sealing of the three King of Sovereigns-level experts. 

The seals were temporary. 

"Why do you have to do this?" Ye Qingyu's heart suddenly quivered a little. 

Ever since that betrayal and abandonment during his youth, he had never properly understood this childhood playmate again. Ignoring the fact that Jiang Xiaohan had secretly plotted against him and committed despicable deeds time after time, Ye Qingyu suddenly realized that there was an instinctive aversion and detest toward her in the depths of his heart. 

"Why?" With a ghastly-pale face and a trembling figure, Jiang Xiaohan looked like she would collapse at any time. Smiling wanly, she replied, "Killing you will only prove that I'm a little stronger than you, but rescuing you will prove that I'm much, much stronger than you. Hoho, don't you think that leaving you with no choice but to accept my kindness would imply that you've finally yielded to me?" 

Ye Qingyu let out a sigh. 

Wobbling, Jiang Xiaohan staggered forward and continued, "Look, I've done everything I wished to. I've put you in a killing ploy, and can kill you or dismantle the ploy at any time. Now that I intend to rescue you, you have no choice but to accept it. Hohoho, I've ultimately won. Ye Qingyu, I've beaten you in the end. Do you admit defeat? Yes or no?" 

Ye Qingyu nodded his head, sighing. 

"That's right, you've won." 

These words came from within. 

He had to admit that, unlike the previous two occasions, he could not refuse Jiang Xiaohan's kindness this time. 

"Hahaha, hahahahaha..." Hearing this, Jiang Xiaohan guffawed maniacally. 

While staggering in the void, she laughed so hard that tears fell. 

"You've finally admitted..." Pointing at Ye Qingyu, she laughed while wiping away the tears. However, the sound of her laughter began to deteriorate until it turned hoarse and became a sobbing sound, and eventually a grieving, painful wail. 

The grief contained in this wail caused anyone who heard it to shed tears. 

Beneath the [Cloud Top Cauldron] in the distance, Song Xiaojun, Wen Wan, and the others watched this scene with astonishment. 

Even the people who had hated this woman previously were greatly moved by this wailing noise. Everyone felt an ache in their heart as they looked at this woman in a red dress, who brought to mind a ball of flame among wild winds that could extinguish at any time. 

Her breath became ever weaker as she cried. 

Like duckweed floating on water, she staggered until she could no longer support her own body and collapsed toward Ye Qingyu, feeble like never before. 

After a brief hesitation, Ye Qingyu reached out a hand to hold her. 

He felt a frosty sensation, as if he was holding on to an ice statue. 

Taken aback, Jiang Xiaohan revealed a disbelieving expression on her face as she raised her head to look at Ye Qingyu. She had never been so near to him, such that she could clearly see his fine black eyelashes. 

"To think that the mistakes I made during my youth are so difficult to forgive..." She spoke in a faint voice. 

Had it not been for her abandonment back then, these pair of arms would certainly have been hers forever. 

As the saying went, one misstep can lead to eternal regret, and it would be too late by the time one realizes it. 

She laughed miserably. 

"I can only seal them for two hours. Good luck finding a solution during this time..." Jiang Xiaohan's voice became tender, in keeping with the saying that people are most honest and good willed on their deathbeds. 

Subsequently, before Ye Qingyu could say anything, she continued, "Actually, I didn't bring them here. Instead, it was they who came to find me. My All Energy-Absorption Body has a fatal attraction on the God of Consciousness... Hoho, I'm innately a woman of unsurpassed beauty and elegance. You're the only person in this world who would discard me like a pair of broken shoes. Except for you, who wouldn't be enchanted by me? Do you believe that?" 

She was at death's door as she spoke. 

The fire of her life was about to extinguish. 

Ye Qingyu nodded. "I believe you." 

Jiang Xiaohan's fate was not much different from that of the Sky Emperor back then. 

They were both the chosen ones, and were no match for their King of Sovereigns-level opponents. 

From the moment they were chosen, their fates were no longer up to themselves. 

This was their shared tragedy. 

The King of Destruction and the Abandoned Fiendgod had dreaded Jiang Xiaohan because of the Wisp God of Consciousness, which... Although the true form of the Wisp God of Consciousness was unknown, it had most evidently become enchanted by Jiang Xiaohan's beauty. Perhaps, the All Energy-Absorption Body had a natural attraction on such a life form. 

It took Ye Qingyu a mere instant to figure out a great deal. 

A heart-wrenching yet beautiful and pure smile appeared faintly on Jiang Xiaohan's pale and snow-white face. 

Getting on to her feet with a slight struggle, she leaned toward Ye Qingyu's ear and said in a feeble voice, "One more thing. Although I've used my beauty to seduce people so as to steal their cultivation techniques, make them serve me willingly, and perfect the All Energy-Absorption Body, I've never truly given of myself to anyone. That was all just a form of spiritual sorcery... Do you believe that?" 

There was a sadness in Ye Qingyu's heart as he nodded. "I believe you." 

The smile on Jiang Xiaohan's face grew. "You aren't lying, right?" 

Ye Qingyu shook his head. 

Jiang Xiaohan's smile gradually became fixed on her face. 

"Back then, I simply wanted to use my departure to provoke you into making progress. However, for some reason, I started to become envious of you when you truly advanced and gained prominence. I used all kinds of laughable and deplorable means to make you notice me, but they only pushed you further away... Hohoho, loving a person is really so difficult. I was never able to make out and comprehend this riddle and this bottleneck despite possessing the All Energy-Absorption Body. Love, what exactly is it? Farewell, my elder brother Qingyu!" 

Her final words lingered beside Ye Qingyu's ear. 

Every word she spoke pounded on Ye Qingyu's heart like a giant hammer. 

Past events in Deer City before he was fourteen years old suddenly swept across his vision at lightning speed, like the pages of a dust-covered book being flipped through by the wind. 

Those images that he thought he had completely forgotten reappeared and then dissipated. 

A teardrop fell from the corner of his eye and landed on Jiang Xiaohan's completely ice-cold body. 

The All Energy-Absorption Body had granted her a constitution of countless mysteries and possibilities, yet she ultimately burned everything for his sake. 

Patter! 

Tears fell. 

Amid a shifting silver glow, Jiang Xiaohan's body turned into a rain of light and dissipated among Ye Qingyu's embrace. 

Ye Qingyu's arms gave an instinctive hug but could not hold on to anything. 

The silver rain of light turned into the final energy that remained locked in the void to maintain the sealing of the three King of Sovereigns-level experts. As Jiang Xiaohan had said, this seal would last for two hours, after which its power would dissipate and the three King of Sovereigns would return, causing the resumption of danger. 

Loving a person is really so difficult. 

These emotional words, which Jiang Xiaohan had used her life to utter, resounded in everyone's heart. 

She had also used her life to prove these words. 

Fate had played a joke and set off a series of tragedies. 

Ye Qingyu could not describe his current feelings. 

I couldn't understand a girl's mind when I was young. Maybe I would be able to if it was now instead? 

Unfortunately, even if time could be reversed, Jiang Xiaohan could not be brought back to life, for her soul had completely burned up and dissipated among this world, turning into the greatest power without leaving any room for herself at all. 

"Destiny is making a fool of us..." 

All of his complicated feelings culminated in a sigh. 

He knew that the fight was not over.
