Time Travel: The Tsundere Junior Sister Goes Crazy

The shrill cry of the Nether Bird tore through the night sky. The soles of Shen Yue's boots made a crunching sound as they ground against the moss-covered cliff wall. His eyes were fixed on Jun Yi who was fleeing in front of him.

The black blood oozing from his shoulder glowed with a strange phosphorescence in the moonlight. It was obvious that he had been forced to use his internal energy after being poisoned by the Soul-Eroding Powder, and his meridians had begun to retaliate.

Behind him came the clear dragon roar of the unsheathed Chixiao Sword, and Jun Jiuchen's dark figure, wrapped in cold sword energy, broke through the air.

The sword tip flew past her ear, and the vines cut by the sword energy fell like a green waterfall, leaving charred sword marks on the rock wall.

“Left!”

A scent of pine suddenly enveloped her head, and Jun Jiuchen's bony fingers had already clasped her slender wrist.

Shen Yue screamed and rushed into the bloody embrace, and caught a glimpse of the place where she had just stood.

Three poisoned bone nails were deeply embedded in the stone. The purple feathers wrapped around the tails of the nails trembled in the wind. They were the tail feathers of the Nether Bird.

She slapped the talisman on Jun Jiuchen's chest with her backhand, but he grabbed her wrist faster.

A barely perceptible cold light flashed in her eyes: "Junior Sister Shen's way of thanking you is quite unique."

Shen Yue broke free from his restraints and took a half step back, his fingertips stroking the broken jade hidden in his sleeve without leaving a trace - this piece of jade pendant that was torn off from Jun Jiuchen's waist was slightly hot at this moment.

She noticed that Jun Jiuchen paused in wiping the blade of the sword, and his forearm was exposed by his sleeve.

The scratch marks that should have existed disappeared, replaced by a fresh sword wound. Dark purple poison could be vaguely seen spreading under the rolled-up flesh at the edge of the wound.

Suddenly, a subtle mechanical sound came from the rock wall, and a secret door appeared where Jun Yi disappeared.

A foul smell hit me in the face.

Shen Yue used the moonlight to clearly see the runes on the door frame - it was exactly the mutated form of the Soul Locking Array recorded in the "Record of Forbidden Techniques". Every stroke of cinnabar was like a living centipede, twisting and wriggling on the blue bricks.

Jun Jiuchen's fingers rubbed the groove, and half of the bronze token slipped out of his sleeve, fitting perfectly into the groove.

The Taotie pattern on the surface of the token suddenly glowed with golden light, and the secret room behind the secret door instantly lit up with a faint blue candlelight.

"The Jun family's secret treasure?" Shen Yue raised his eyebrows, his amber pupils reflecting the flickering candlelight.

She took a half step back without leaving a trace and slipped the talisman quietly into the palm of her hand.

But Jun Jiuchen's pupils shrank slightly, obviously he didn't expect that she could recognize the origin of the token at a glance.

The broken jade she hid in her sleeve was resonating with the faint spiritual fluctuations coming from the secret room.

The hot touch spread along the meridians, as if countless tiny vines were growing in the blood vessels.

The moment he stepped into the secret room, the blue flames on the twelve candlesticks suddenly lit up.

The stone walls are densely engraved with portraits of monks whose souls have been locked up throughout the ages. Each pair of eyes is blinded by cinnabar, but there is a strange smile on the corner of their mouth.

On the altar in the center, a jade coffin emitting black mist was suspended. The coffin lid was engraved with reliefs of upside-down human faces. Dark red liquid oozed out of every gap, gathering into a winding stream on the ground.

Jun Yi was pressing his bloody palm on the coffin lid, and when he turned around, he showed a sinister smile: "You are finally here."

The dragon roar of the unsheathed Chixiao Sword and Shen Yue's talisman attacked Jun Yi at the same time.

However, the jade coffin suddenly burst out with a dazzling black light, and countless chains broke out of the ground and wrapped around the ankles of the two men.

Shen Yue's talisman shattered into pieces in the black light, and the golden talisman turned into a butterfly and dissipated in the air.

Jun Jiuchen swung his sword to cut the chains, but the moment the sword touched the jade coffin, he was blown away by an invisible force, and his back hit the stone wall engraved with talismans. The blood he coughed up bloomed into strange purple flowers on the blue bricks.

"The one sealed in this jade coffin is the first generation patriarch of the Jun family."

Jun Yi laughed wildly, and blood-red lines appeared on the surface of the jade coffin. "In the past, in order to achieve eternal life, he refined himself into a soul-devouring body, but was suppressed here by his descendants. Now that he has your spiritual vein..."

Before he could finish his words, the jade coffin suddenly made a sound like a baby crying, and the coffin lid slowly opened. A hand covered with corpse spots stretched out from the black mist.

Shen Yue felt that his spiritual veins were being pulled by some force, and the spiritual power in his body flowed uncontrollably towards the jade coffin.

She bit her tongue, and the taste of blood spread in her mouth. She took the opportunity to take out the Soul-Eroding Powder and splashed it on the jade coffin.

However, the black mist suddenly turned into a giant hand that grabbed her wrist. The cold touch penetrated into her dantian along her meridians, and an illusion appeared before her eyes - Jun Jiuchen was standing in front of the burning Jun family mansion, holding a bloody sword in his hand, and she was lying at his feet, covered in blood.

At the critical moment, Jun Jiuchen hit her neck hard with the back of his sword: "I'm sorry!"

Before Shen Yue fell into darkness, he saw Jun Jiuchen stabbing the Chixiao Sword into his palm, and blood flowed along the sword into the jade coffin.

The black fog let out a sharp scream, cracks appeared on the surface of the jade coffin, and angry roars came from within the coffin.

Jun Yi's exclamation and the roar of the secret room collapsing sounded at the same time, rubble fell like rain, and Shen Yue woke up in severe pain.

Her fingertips touched some wet and sticky liquid.

With the moonlight shining through the gap, he could see clearly that what was held in his palm was actually half of an inner elixir - it was glowing with the unique purple light of the Nether Bird, but also had the golden pattern of the Jun family's spiritual power.

The sound of fighting could be heard in the distance, mixed with Jun Jiuchen's suppressed groans.

Shen Yue held the inner elixir tightly and walked towards the depths of darkness.

On the stone wall, the afterimages of Jun Jiuchen and Jun Yi intertwined in the dark blue flames.

A pale hand slowly stretched out from the crack of the jade coffin, with the Jun family's unique cloud pattern embedded in the nails.

"Junior Sister Shen, why don't you come out and help?"

Jun Jiuchen's voice was obviously trembling.

Shen Yue turned the corner and saw Jun Jiuchen kneeling on one knee, with the Chixiao Sword deeply inserted into the ground to support his body. His face was as pale as paper, and black blood was constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Jun Yi, holding a blood-stained dagger, was approaching step by step.

Shen Yue suddenly threw out three talismans, which turned into a fire net in the air and covered Jun Yi.

Jun Yi swung his sword to cut through the fire net, but he didn't notice that Shen Yue had already circled behind him and poured all the Erosion Spirit Powder on his back.

Jun Yi let out a shrill scream, and his body quickly shriveled up and turned into a pile of bones.

"You already knew... this Soul-Erosion Powder is useless to him."

Jun Jiuchen raised his head with difficulty, his eyes fell on the inner pill in her hand, "Why did you save me?"

Shen Yue squatted down and stroked the sword wound on his forearm with her fingertips. "Because I want to know why the young master of the Jun family was poisoned by the Nether Bird, and why he used his own blood to activate the Soul Locking Formation."

She placed the inner core against his lips and asked, "Also, why does this half inner core have the aura of the Jun family's spiritual power?"

Jun Jiuchen suddenly smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: "As smart as Junior Sister Shen, you should have guessed it."

He swallowed the inner elixir, and spiritual energy began to surge in his body. "But now, we have to leave here first - the thing in the jade coffin is about to wake up completely."

The vibrations in the secret room became more and more violent, and the talismans on the stone walls peeled off and turned into black flying insects that flew towards the two people.

Shen Yue and Jun Jiuchen stood back to back, one wielding a sword and the other casting a spell, cutting a bloody path through the swarm of insects.

When they finally rushed out of the secret room, a deafening explosion was heard behind them and the entire cliff began to collapse.

Under the moonlight, Shen Yue looked at the unconscious Jun Jiuchen in his arms and took out the half bronze token from his arms.

On the back of the token was engraved a line of small words: "The day the Soul Devouring Body revives will be the day the Jun family will be annihilated."
