The woman in red frowned and looked at Lin Ming, she had been born with an innate nobility and pride, which had reached her current level of cultivation and status. Her nobility had already been ingrained into her bones, it wasn't that she was being arrogant or anything, this was just a normal reaction for someone like her. Just like how one couldn't expect an empress to listen to a poor commoner, let alone when the words spoken by this commoner were unreliable to begin with.

  Lin Ming saw that the red-clothed woman didn't speak, so he took a few tentative steps forward and said, "Senior, if it's alright with you, may I use my spiritual power to examine your injury?"

  When Lin Ming's words came, the red-clothed woman's beautiful brows locked even tighter. Soul force could penetrate most things, such as human bodies or clothing. If she withdrew her True Essence shield from her body and allowed the opponent's soul force to scan her freely, then her clothes would be equivalent to not wearing any at all - it would be very easy for her to be seen through.

  How could she possibly agree to such a request, the red-clothed woman snorted and turned to leave. With her identity and status, she would normally never come into contact with such a young man. They were completely people from two different worlds, if it weren't for today's special circumstances, they wouldn't have said so many words.

  Lin Ming saw the red-clothed woman turn and leave, his eyes rolled around, and he shouted loudly: "Senior, you were hit by Lei Jiao's Thunder Spirit, right?!"

  The woman in red froze, turning her head back to look at Lin Ming in surprise, sizing up the young man before her. Although she had already known that Lin Ming was no ordinary person in the secular world, she hadn't expected him to have such keen eyesight, able to guess what injury she had sustained without even using his soul force to probe her.

  "How did you know?"

  "I'm guessing." Lin Ming said casually, his guesswork making up the majority, but the restless stirring of Lei Ling in the Evil God's seed also made Lin Ming more confident in his conjecture.

  The red-clothed woman hesitated. Lin Ming continued, "How about it? Anyway, you'll have a hard time suppressing the Lei Ling in your body for the time being. Why don't I give it a try? Desperate times call for desperate measures, and if not, you won't lose anything."

  When she heard the phrase "treating a dead horse as if it were alive", the red-clothed woman's eyebrows shot up, and an invisible aura of intimidation suddenly emanated from her body.

  Lin Ming shrunk his neck, knowing he had misspoken. In front of this kind of person, he was like a commoner before an empress. If a quack doctor were to tell the empress that a dead horse could be treated as if it were alive, the consequences would be imaginable. He hastily said, "Sorry, I spoke thoughtlessly for a moment."

  "Hmm?" Seeing Lin Ming not being affected by her pressure, the red-clothed woman was slightly surprised. As the Holy Maiden of Phoenix Island, she had the blood of the Vermilion Bird flowing through her body, and normally, if she didn't intentionally suppress it, she would emit a pressure that made people around her feel uncomfortable.

  This is a suppression from the depths of his bloodline, and yet this young man doesn't have even half a feeling about it. How strange! Could there be something special about his bloodline too?

  "How old are you?" the woman in red asked.

  Lin Ming hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully: "I'm one month shy of sixteen years old."

  He thought that his peak cultivation at this age would surprise the red-clothed woman, but unexpectedly, the red-clothed woman's eyelids only slightly raised, and she looked Lin Ming up and down again, without showing much expression.

  Lin Ming couldn't help but smile wryly to himself. It seemed that he had overestimated his own abilities. In the eyes of the red-clothed woman, his current cultivation was only considered not bad, far from being stunning. Indeed, it was true - Qin Xuan was half a year younger than him, yet had already reached the early stages of Bone Forging two months ago. By the time Qin Xuan was as old as Lin Ming, reaching the peak of Bone Forging wouldn't be surprising at all.

  The woman in red said: "Alright, I'll let you see it once, but when you use your soul power, be more restrained!"

  The red-clothed woman's voice was extremely severe, and she herself did not expect to actually agree to such an absurd request. A half-step Tian Dan expert would actually ask a Bone Forging stage child to treat his injuries. It was truly the greatest joke under heaven.

  "I understand."

  He borrowed Lin Ming a gallbladder, he didn't dare to use his soul force to scan wildly, otherwise the red-clothed woman in front of him might kill him in a fit of rage.

  Lin Ming walked up to the red-clothed woman, so close that he could clearly smell a faint scent of fragrance on her body. Although the scent was pleasant, Lin Ming didn't dare take a deep breath, fearing that the red-clothed woman would suddenly fly into a rage.

  "Uh... can you sit down first?"

  The woman in red looked at Lin Ming for a moment, and still sat down as she said, although she felt that there was some secret about this young man, but she didn't expect Lin Ming to be of any help with her injury.

  At the last strike of the Thunder Serpent, it injected its vital blood into the Thunder Spirit, and with the nourishment and refinement of the Thunder Serpent on the Thunder Spirit over thousands of years, it can be said that this Thunder Spirit has contained the Thunder Serpent's original will, equivalent to an unconscious split body of the Thunder Serpent!

  Such a powerful lightning spirit, even if it is a thunder cultivator who has reached the Xiantian realm, cannot absorb it.

  Adding Leiling's own undying properties, it would be impossible to get rid of it without harming oneself unless one were to invite the Rotating Elixir Elder from the sect!

  Lin Ming was not aware of the twists and turns in this, otherwise he would have considered whether to take the risk of exposing some secrets to absorb this thing. If it had aroused the interest of the red-clothed woman in herself, she would have been determined to investigate his secrets and that would have been the end of him.

  Lin Ming carefully extended his Soul Force into the red-clothed woman's body, avoiding all sensitive areas with care. Soon, he discovered the source of the Thunderbolt Force, which was located at the position of the red-clothed woman's heart. Without a doubt, that was where Lei Ling was hiding.

  The heart is one of human weaknesses, hidden in the heart, and it's a big trouble to deal with.

  Lin Ming infused his Soul Force into her heart, and a small purple dragon was seen roaring with its teeth bared inside the red-clothed woman's heart. Purple lightning bolts were emitted from its body, continuously seeping into the red-clothed woman's body.

  "Is this really Leling?"

  Lin Ming clearly felt the excitement of the evil spirit seed in his body, it wanted to swallow this Lei Ling!

  "Hmm? This Lei Ling seems to contain a violent soul, as if it has self-awareness... Is it the soul of the Lei Ling itself or the soul of the Lei Jiao?"

  Lin Ming hesitated slightly, and at this time, he also discovered that around the purple little dragon, there was a faint flame cage. It had been firmly trapped inside, and the Thunder Dragon continuously launched attacks on the flame cage, biting and tearing at the flame grid, trying to rip it open.

  It's clear that the Flame Prison is the seal on the Red Robed Woman's True Yuan. If it weren't for this seal, Lei Ling would have probably burst into the Red Robed Woman's body and started wreaking havoc long ago.

  Withdraw the soul force. Lin Ming walked behind the red-clothed woman and sat down in a cross-legged position, stretching out his hand to press against the back of her heart.

  This action caused the red-clothed woman's body to stiffen suddenly, she didn't know how many years it had been since a man dared to touch her like this. "What are you doing?"

  Lin Ming said with a puzzled expression: "Of course it's about absorbing the Thunder Spirit, my true yuan happens to have some thunder attributes, and I might be able to absorb this Thunder Spirit."

  The woman in red said displeased: "With your cultivation, you also want to absorb the Thunder Spirit? Even if it's the most ordinary Thunder Spirit, it will burst your meridians! Not to mention that this Thunder Spirit contains the original intention of the Thunder Python, even the top masters of the Thunder System are powerless. Are you done yet? If you're done, leave quickly, I don't have time for you..."

  The red-clothed woman's voice suddenly stopped as she was shocked to discover that the purple dragon in her heart, which had released its thunderous power, seemed to be pulled by an invisible force towards her back and then absorbed into the boy's palm.

  The palm of the young man also became extremely hot because of this, and it felt strange when stuck to his own back.

  This is...

  The red-clothed woman's heart skipped a beat. Although it was just Lei Ling releasing his Thunderbolt power, it wasn't that easy to absorb. How did this young man manage to do it?

  At this time, something even more astonishing happened to the red-clothed girl. She found that the Thunder Serpent in her heart began to become violent and restless, as if there was something approaching that made it fearful. It no longer released its thunder power, but instead desperately bit at the Flame Cage, trying to break free.

  Why is this? What is the soul of Lei Jiao afraid of?

  The woman in red was stunned, could it be because of the young man behind her?

  The purple little thunder snake struggled desperately, but there was always an invisible force that locked it in. This force was not strong, but it contained a huge and overwhelming pressure.

  This pressure not only affects the soul of Lei Jiao, but also acts on Lei Ling itself!

  It works on the Lei Jiao's soul because of the true dragon blood's suppression of the Lei Jiao bloodline!

  It is acting on Liling itself, because of the suppression of evil god seeds on Liling!

  Under double oppression, Lei Jiao began to feel fearful.

  Lin Ming's true essence was indeed not worth mentioning compared to Lei Jiao, but some suppressions had nothing to do with cultivation. That was a suppression close to the law, and it didn't allow any resistance at all!

  "Hahaha..."

  The power of thunder and lightning was being continuously drawn out from the purple little thunder serpent's body, making it increasingly restless and fearful. It desperately collided with the flame prison, which also made the red-clothed woman bite her lip tightly, her face becoming even paler. She had almost used up all her true yuan to maintain the flame prison, and her body was weakened to the extreme.

  However, Lin Ming was also in a difficult situation at this time. Although the True Dragon's Blood and the Evil God's Seed both had a suppressing effect on Lei Ling, Lin Ming's own cultivation was too weak. This was like a child holding two peerless treasured swords to deal with a fierce tiger.

  The absorbed power of thunder, although it only accounted for a negligible part of the Thunder Spirit, was extremely enormous for Lin Ming, and he could hardly suppress it.

  "Ah!"

  Lin Ming severed the Soul Force, his right hand moved away from the back of the red-clothed woman, panting heavily, at this time, his right palm was already full of sweat.

  The woman in red turned around, her beautiful eyes staring at Lin Ming without blinking, her lovely face filled with an expression of incredulity.

  She never thought that this young man could mobilize the power of Lei Ling, and even shock the original consciousness of Lei Jiao left in Lei Ling! This young man is only at the Bone Forging stage of cultivation, which is truly unbelievable.

  Of course, if the red-clothed woman knew that when she was on top of Leifeng Mountain, Lei Jiao suddenly became distracted and was severely injured by her sword because of the strange dragon roar emitted by the young man in front of her, she would probably be shocked speechless.
