Chapter 429: Chapter 429: The Soul Remains after Death, Rebuilding the Body (5)_1

"I can’t swim," Hao Pengyou said with a smile.

"Uh... then get inside the Refining Demon Pot, I’ll call you out when we get there," Dugu Qianye said.

"Okay."

Dugu Qianye took Hao Pengyou to the Refining Demon Pot, then she went into the water. Because of her contract with the Lan Yue baby, she could breathe freely underwater. So, she dived to the bottom and began to move slowly towards the opposite bank.

The South River was the deepest and widest river on the Fengwu Continent. Its depth was nearly the same as that of the South Sea, its width spanned thousands of kilometers, and it stretched nearly across the whole Fengwu Continent. There were many Spiritual Beasts within, but all had their own territories. They lived and rested within their domains, and the river was relatively peaceful.

Dugu Qianye swam toward the opposite bank, trying not to disturb the Spiritual Beasts in the water, hoping to reach the other side smoothly. But, when she had traveled more than halfway, she encountered a water snake swimming straight towards her. In a moment of urgency, she quickly darted into the Refining Demon Pot.

The water snake had been visiting a neighbor’s dwelling of a different Spiritual Beast and, on its return, it seemed to have spotted a human figure, but when it looked again, there was nothing there.

"Could it be that my eyes are deceiving me?" The water snake blinked its eyes and, shaking its body, it swam away.

After the water snake had left, Dugu Qianye came out from the Refining Demon Pot and let out a long sigh of relief. If a battle had broken out in the water, it would have been disastrous had the Phoenix Clan found out. She patted her chest and continued forward. Whenever she encountered a similar situation, she would dart into the Refining Demon Pot and only come out after the other had left.

Finally reaching the opposite bank, Dugu Qianye slowly made her way to the surface. Just as she emerged, a Spiritual Beast appeared behind her and called out, "Who are you? How come I have never seen you before?"

Upon hearing the voice from behind, Dugu Qianye turned around and put on a look of terror. She pointed behind it, pretending to see a monster there, and then, taking advantage of the Spiritual Beast looking backward, she quickly went ashore and used the Ethereal Step Technique to speed away. By the time the Spiritual Beast had turned its head back, she was long gone.

"Phew—" Dugu Qianye stopped under a Phoenix Tree. A true battle with them would definitely attract the attention of the Phoenixes.

She looked around and saw that this area was all Phoenix Tree Forest. From the opposite side, they had observed an undulating mountain range. If one were to fly over from above, they would only make it to the mountains. However, she didn’t know which mountains these were.

Suddenly, she noticed someone approaching her, and she quickly darted into the Refining Demon Pot. Through the pot, she saw two people dressed in golden-yellow clothes coming towards her.

"Why isn’t there anyone here?" one person sniffed around the spot where Dugu Qianye had just been and said.

"Indeed, we clearly smelled human scent, so why don’t we see anyone?" another person said.

"Could someone have sneaked in? We should quickly report to the captain and strengthen our defenses."

"Alright. Ouch..."

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a sachet fell from the tree, landing right on one of their heads.

"What’s this?" The person who was hit picked up the sachet from the ground, smelled it, and said, "This is the scent we were smelling."

"Why would there be a sachet here?"

"Hey, this sachet is cold; it must have been hanging on the tree for a long time. It’s surely brought back by those who went to the human world. Come on, let’s hurry up and patrol; otherwise, we will be scolded by the captain again." Having said this, the person turned around and walked back in the direction from which he had come.

Seeing that the person had walked away, the other man pocketed the sachet and said, "I’ll give it to Xiaomi later." He looked up to see the person still walking away, and shouted, "Hey, wait for me!" But he had only taken a few steps when his figure disappeared into the Phoenix Tree Forest.

Inside the Refining Demon Pot, the man who had just vanished from the forest looked around in horror at the people surrounding him, especially Xiaohuo and Dugu Qianye facing him directly, and Lan Mei beside them. Xiaohuo’s bloodline pressure made him somewhat afraid. However, he quickly recovered, stood up, hands on hips, and asked, "Who are you? How did you get into my Phoenix Tree Forest?"

He thought his demeanor was very domineering, but Dugu Qianye and the others did not pay him any attention and circled around him, discussing as they went, "Where should we start?"

Just after hearing them say they were going to report to their superiors, Dugu Qianye, in a moment of urgency, had made a sachet and threw it out, successfully deceiving them.

"Chop off his feet, how about that?" Xiaohuo said.

"No, I think chopping off both hands is better," Lan Mei offered her opinion.

"Just cut off his head!" Little Baiqiu, holding a Spirit Fruit and taking a bite, frightened the man into shrinking his neck.

"If you ask me, just chop it all off and make a person stick. Hmm, I wonder if he’ll revert to his original form? If he does, then he can’t be made into a person stick," Hao Pengyou said, stroking his chin, seemingly ready to give it a try.

"What, what do you want to do?" The man, frightened, lost all his earlier bravado and stuttered.

Dugu Qianye came up behind him, reached out and touched his neck, making him scream out loud.

"Ah—don’t kill me!"

Dugu Qianye smiled, changed her grip from his neck to grab his hair, and with her other hand, she conjured Spiritual Energy, waved it, and cut off the hair in her hand, which then turned into a cluster of golden feathers.

"Jiang Yu!" Dugu Qianye called out, and Jiang Yu emerged from the Skeleton Ring, looking at Dugu Qianye. "It’s up to you."

Dugu Qianye said to Jiang Yu and then went to the Alchemy Room. Meanwhile, Jiang Yu approached the man, didn’t say anything, and placed his hand on the man’s forehead. Milky-white Spiritual Mist flowed from his hand and entered the man’s head.

Dugu Qianye went to the Alchemy Room, took out the Pill Furnace, and, with Dudu’s help in retrieving some ingredients, refined several Elixirs with those feathers and the herbs. On her way out, she saw the man was still being frightened into unconsciousness by Xiaojiu and the others. She walked over, approached Jiang Yu, and asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Yu nodded and transferred the memory Spiritual Mist he had just extracted into Dugu Qianye’s mind, allowing her to fully acquire the man’s identity and memories. After reading through the man’s memories, she glanced at the person who was tortured to the brink of death and said, "Actually, you could have been a bit harsher."

Then she swallowed the Elixirs she had just made, and had Jiang Yu transform her appearance. Dugu Qianye then became the spitting image of the man; even her body size was exactly the same, and the Elixir she ingested made her smell like him.

Once everything was ready, Jiang Yu returned to the Skeleton Earring, and Dugu Qianye used the Ethereal Step Technique to leave the Refining Demon Pot.

Time within the Refining Demon Pot was extensive, but to the outside world, it was just the blink of an eye. The man walking ahead heard someone calling out and turned around. In this brief span of time, Dugu Qianye had already accomplished the deed of switching places.
