Not long after, Lin Yi arrived at the bottom of the Holy Spirit Spring, and there he saw a slender figure in the underwater area.
It was none other than Shangguan Xinyan.
At this moment, Shangguan Xinyan’s body was enveloped in a milky white light, which purified her of all evil aura, making her resemble a pure Holy Daughter.
Her body was wet and clung to her skin, fully displaying her perfect figure before Lin Yi’s eyes.
For a time, Lin Yi felt his blood surge.
He then remembered the passion of that night.
It seemed like an unnamed flame surged within Lin Yi.
He quickly suppressed the fire in his lower abdomen, slapped his head, cursed quietly about the seductive demoness, and then steadied his mind before approaching Shangguan Xinyan’s side.
After getting closer, Lin Yi could see clearly that the source of the milky white light enveloping Shangguan Xinyan was a skeleton as white as jade.
Though this skeleton had fallen who knows how many years ago, it still emitted a formidable pressure that was not at all weak!
"Could it be the skeleton of a Semi-Saint?"
A look of shock and doubt appeared on Lin Yi’s face. It wasn’t that he recognized the cultivation of the skeleton at a glance, but rather that a Semi-Saint was the strongest force he knew of. Even the Blood God Sect founder, the Blood Ancestor, was merely a Semi-Saint, and as for Saints, Lin Yi hadn’t dared to set his sights that high.
After all, Saints were legendary figures in any era, rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. How could the corpse of a Saint casually appear in such a place?
"Turns out to be a skeleton that might belong to a Semi-Saint."
Lin Yi’s face showed undisguised envy. "The luck of this Little Demon Girl is really something."
A Semi-Saint’s relic, even just a trace of inheritance from a Semi-Saint, would be of enormous benefit to Shangguan Xinyan.
However, just as Lin Yi was filled with envy,
Struggle appeared on the charming face of Shangguan Xinyan, her aura became extremely chaotic, as if she was being tormented by the inheritance of the skeleton.
Lin Yi’s expression grew solemn at her side, "With the Little Demon Girl’s power, it seems she can’t withstand this inheritance’s force?"
Could it be that by calling this a Semi-Saint’s inheritance, it had underestimated the owner of the skeleton, and could this possibly be a true Holy Corpse?
Even a remnant of the might of a Holy Corpse was something that ordinary people could scarcely bear.
Even if Shangguan Xinyan was the Blood God Sect Saintess.
Seeing Shangguan Xinyan now drenched in fragrant perspiration, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh, "Well then, let’s be a good Samaritan to the end, and I’ll give this demoness another free helping hand."
Lin Yi went behind Shangguan Xinyan, then sat down cross-legged and channeled True Yuan into her back.
The True Yuan flowed continuously from Lin Yi’s palms into Shangguan Xinyan.
At the same time, he also activated the Futu Sacred Tower, casting it over the skeleton, helping to suppress the pressure it emitted.
With these combined efforts, he barely managed to contend against the force of the skeleton.
Thus, after an hour had passed.
Lin Yi himself was spent, showing signs of struggle.
With a loud bang, Lin Yi’s body was shockingly flung away by the force.
Lin Yi’s expression changed, having not anticipated that the skeleton could still unleash such astonishing power; he quickly looked towards Shangguan Xinyan, only to see her also shaken dozens of meters away, even her Blood Robe shattered by the force.
And there, Shangguan Xinyan’s body, akin to white jade, was fully exposed before him without any reservation.
However, Lin Yi, at this moment, clearly had no mood to appreciate the view, and he hurried to Shangguan Xinyan’s side to hold her in his arms.
He quickly checked her meridians and, upon finding that she was only slightly injured and not seriously harmed, he finally relaxed.
At this very moment, the supposed Saint’s skeleton also collapsed thunderously, while a ancient seal appeared on Shangguan Xinyan’s forehead.
"Is this... a Holy Seal?"
Lin Yi’s pupils shrank slightly.
The Holy Seal was rumored to be a mark of a Saint’s inheritance, containing the legacy left behind by a Saint. Anyone able to bear the Holy Seal was without a doubt a Saint.
"You really struck it rich..."
Lin Yi murmured. He had only just finished speaking when he felt the beauty in his arms move slightly. As he lowered his head, he saw Shangguan Xinyan’s beautiful eyes open and meet his gaze.
The atmosphere underwater immediately became tense.
