Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 139 No Rules or Regulations!

Shi Chuan's spiritual power only managed to pierce Jing Shu's skin before a cold spiritual power suddenly appeared, blocking Shi Chuan's sword strike. Shi Chuan had already prepared for this, and used this spiritual power to withdraw his own spiritual power, then retreated several meters away.

Lu Yunqi and Ji Chen also stopped what they were doing. It was done!

A miniature version of Immortal Venerable Hanluo emerged from the magic array, transforming into the size of an adult. He stood before Jing Shu, and upon recognizing the person he had repelled, a hint of doubt appeared in his previously indifferent eyes.

Before the divine consciousness could speak, Jing Shu suddenly embraced it from behind. The divine consciousness had no physical form, but for some reason, it was held tightly by Jing Shu.

Hanluo's divine sense: "?"

"Master... I'm sorry." Jing Shu said softly, but his feet moved without hesitation. Seeing Han Luo's bewildered expression, he put his arm around Han Luo's waist and they jumped into the abyss together.

Shi Chuan and the other two rushed forward to see what was happening. They saw that as soon as Jing Shu's body touched the entrance to the abyss, a powerful surge of spiritual energy swept over him and pressed down on him.

Jing Shu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but then he laughed.

Unlike before, the spiritual energy impact did not directly repel him, but gradually merged into it. However, the more of his body entered, the stronger the spiritual energy impact became.

"Little junior brother!"

"Brother Jing!"

The three of them immediately understood: Jing Shu had been lying to them! How could he possibly not be injured?!

Han Luo, protected in Jing Shu's arms, sighed softly. Then, her figure gradually faded, transforming into spiritual energy that enveloped Jing Shu. The spiritual energy impact at the entrance instantly disappeared, and Jing Shu vanished from the three's sight.

Within the abyss, Hanluo's divine sense protected Jing Shu, and only after Jing Shu had regained his footing did Hanluo's divine sense re-condense and stand before him.

"Master..." Jing Shu looked at Han Luo in front of him, unsure if this wisp of divine consciousness had any later memories. At this moment, he felt uneasy.

Han Luo flicked Jing Shu's forehead with her finger without any hesitation, and the sound was exceptionally clear in the silent space.

"Impulsive and thoughtless, she instigated her senior brother to hurt herself..."

With each sentence, Hanluo's divine sense would flick Jing Shu's forehead. After three flicks, Hanluo's divine sense remembered Jing Shu's tight embrace around his waist earlier and couldn't help but flick it again.

"No rules or regulations!"

After playing that note, Han Luo's consciousness shrank again and entered the magic array. The magic array quietly disappeared, leaving Jing Shu alone in this pitch-black space.

Jing Shu touched his forehead, which was burning hot from being flicked, a faint smile playing on his lips. This master's divine sense, without any later memories, instantly knew what they had just been doing, and...

He only said "no manners" when he realized his own offensive behavior.

Jing Shu's tense mood eased considerably after those four flicks on the forehead.

Jing Shu raised his hand and released his light spiritual power, trying to illuminate the space, but the spiritual power would quickly dissipate once it went more than half a meter away from him.

"Jing Shu, let me do it."

The nascent soul within the ancient jade spoke, and when Jing Shu opened his eyes again, the energy emanating from his body transformed into dark spiritual power. This dark spiritual power merged into the space, allowing Jing Shu to see it clearly without opening his eyes.

Jing Shu ran towards the end of the darkness, shouting, "Master, Aran, wait for me!"

----------------

Time rewinds to the moment the secret realm ended.

The artifact, having returned to its original form, released wisps of spiritual energy, transporting Jing Ran's body to another space, and muttered to itself.

"That person, he actually managed to kill me inside the secret realm, but I threw him so far away, so why was he still able to come back! And save Han Luo! He shouldn't remember him! He shouldn't even know me!"

The artifact's voice grew increasingly frantic until it suddenly stopped, letting out a cold laugh, "However, it's useless! He did help me end that secret realm ahead of schedule. Han Luo, thank you for the person you brought!"

Before the divine artifact stood a massive block of ice. Upon closer inspection, a figure could be seen inside it.

The figure was elusive and not a physical entity; it was Han Luo's missing divine consciousness. However, red lines were slowly wriggling on the face of that divine consciousness, covering half of its face, making it look exceptionally eerie.

The artifact transformed into a black adult figure, its hand gently caressing the ice, its face seemingly filled with infatuation. "Han Luo, this time, I won't let you escape again. Your body is ultimately mine..."

The artifact placed the unconscious Jing Ran in front of the ice. The divine sense within the ice seemed to sense the presence of the original body, and a crack suddenly appeared on the ice. Then, several more cracks appeared.

"Click——"

The ice has broken.

The artifact was not surprised at all; this was a seal left by Han Luo to guard against it.

Back then, it took advantage of Han Luo's unguarded moment to launch a sneak attack on him, using the pretense of recognizing a master to corrupt his soul and prepare to possess his body.

Unfortunately, just as success was within reach, Han Luo discovered it. It should have been flawless, but who would have thought that Han Luo would refuse to form a contract with him! She didn't want this divine artifact!

Seeing that success was within reach, it became even bolder. But what it didn't expect was that Han Luo, in order to prevent it from succeeding, forcibly tore apart its own soul, causing the contract process to be interrupted!

Afterwards, Han Luo left a small portion of his uncorrupted divine consciousness sealed inside his main body, and then drew a teleportation array to send his main body away.

Because the process was interrupted, it suffered a backlash and took several years to recover. After waking up, it considered destroying the divine consciousness left behind by Han Luo, but Han Luo had told it before the divine consciousness went into slumber that he was the key to the seal, and if he disappeared, the seal left in its body would cause the body to die along with the divine consciousness, advising it not to touch its own divine consciousness.

The artifact was furious, but it dared not move. It had a half-contract with Han Luo, and unless Han Luo took the initiative to break the contract, it would be a half-mastered artifact and could not seek out anyone else, even if Han Luo died.

Now, it only needs to wait for Han Luo's consciousness to return to its place before it can continue the contract, completely infiltrating Han Luo's consciousness and taking over his body.

It no longer wanted to shatter Han Luo's consciousness; it wanted to seal Han Luo's consciousness within its own divine artifact body, to be used by itself! It also wanted to use this new body to tear the person who killed it in the secret realm to pieces!
