Chapter 392 Spare my life, and I will repay that calamity.
First known information:
1. The mysterious woman had a past relationship with Wu Guihong. The reason Wu Guihong used the Pinghe Cauldron to collect the souls of cultivators was to offer them as a sacrifice to this woman.
2. The Seven Illusions Sect of Star Pointing, who are chivalrous and fearless of death, are not living people because they are controlled by a mysterious woman.
3. The Blood Erosion Curse reappears in the far south. Those controlled by the curse to the deepest point will inevitably be reduced to nothing but an empty shell.
4. Ruan Ayao and others were defeated in the far south.
All the clues point to one possibility—
She was lured into the lair of the Blood Curse, and now... she is facing the mastermind behind the curse!
Zhu Wuyao felt that although he seemed to be alive, he was actually half dead.
She forced a smile, ignoring the wooden puppet, and looked around, asking the void:
"Fellow Daoist, do I look like a living person or a dead person?"
The spiritual energy circulated within the body for a week, and no abnormalities were detected.
But she couldn't rest easy.
After all, Zhu Wuyao knew very little about the Blood Erosion Curse. This mysterious woman was able to take him away right under Gu Yiguan's nose, so her cultivation level must be much higher than his.
Even if someone has already tampered with her, she might not be able to tell.
The sword-wielding cultivator in short clothes was still bowing to her with clasped hands. Perhaps because the mysterious woman and Wu Guihong were acquaintances, she was even unwilling to properly control the puppet and just go through the motions with Zhu Wuyao!
The mysterious woman chuckled softly.
Life and death are impermanent, and their own destiny is predetermined.
“If you spare my life, I will repay that calamity.”
"Fellow Daoist Wu, why care about life or death? What does it matter if you live or die? It's just the endless cycle of cause and effect."
Mysterious fellow Daoist, I think you're talking nonsense...
Zhu Wuyao thought to himself, "I'm so angry."
But I didn't dare say it out loud.
Just then, the Pinghe Cauldron in her hand suddenly began to vibrate, as if it were about to slip from her grasp.
Zhu Wuyao activated his spiritual power to secretly resist.
Acceptance means death, resistance also means death, so at least we should struggle. Zhu Wuyao controlled the vibrations of the Pinghe Cauldron and said:
"Among them is the divine soul of a cultivator who has reached the Golden Core stage, which can help you stabilize your true spirit."
“Fellow Daoist, I can give you this cauldron, but you must let me leave.”
The soul inside this cauldron isn't that of the Daoist Wuyan, but clearly that of Wu Guihong. If the mysterious woman had just been curious to see what the tonic looked like before taking it, Zhu Wuyao would have become the second dish.
Therefore, one must first hand over the tripod and then run away.
Whether or not the Blood Erosion Curse has affected us, let's get out of this Star Seven Illusion Sect first.
Senior Sister Gu has arrived in Tongzhou.
She probably still has a chance to live.
Fortunately, Wu Guihong was a selfish and arrogant person, so it is not surprising that he did such a thing.
Zhu Wuyao pretended to protect the Pinghe Cauldron with his life, as if he would perish together with the cauldron and self-destruct his soul if the mysterious woman tried to snatch it, so that the woman would get nothing.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides is an insurmountable chasm.
She suddenly felt that her limbs were no longer under her control.
Zhu Wuyao cursed under his breath, unsure whether he should worry about being cursed or not, and could only watch helplessly as the Pinghe Cauldron flew into the air.
after all--
Her identity was in grave danger; if someone was about to die, there was no need to worry about whether they had been cursed.
It's others who should be worried.
The one who cast the spell will probably have another powerful general under his command.
With her spiritual energy barely functioning, Zhu Wuyao had already activated her sword energy, ready to use her secret technique to steal the heavens and change the earth at any moment. She was just waiting for the mysterious woman to digest her soul and make her move against her before she would fight to the death.
The bladeless sword cannot be locked, which can give her an opportunity to move around.
Perhaps I can take this opportunity to transfer the connection between the spell and myself, through the Heaven-Stealing Seal, to this seemingly polite gentleman next to me.
The Pinghe Ding rose into the air.
Under the pale blue sky of dawn, spiritual patterns spread outwards, rippling with golden light, only to vanish and dissipate continuously.
A wisp of soul was pulled out of the cauldron like a piece of dough being ripped apart.
A ferocious expression was faintly visible, as if he wanted to shout something, to reveal his identity.
But the real Wu Guihong's shouts in front of Gu Yiguan went unheard, and now his shouts in front of the mysterious woman are also unheard.
He practiced the "Tao" he believed in through his own life and death.
In the presence of the strong, the weak are resources that can be freely exploited.
This applies to ordinary people as well as to him.
I wish you an invitation to participate in the event.
She calmed herself and waited for the mysterious woman to make her move.
Unexpectedly, even after Wu Guihong's soul disappeared, the mysterious woman did not attack her. Her tone was calm and somewhat satisfied as she said:
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I need to go into seclusion for a while."
"You shall stay in the mountains for now. Once I break through my cultivation barrier, I will grant you the opportunity to advance your cultivation level as promised."
Zhu Wuyao was taken aback.
He then offered his own explanation—
Perhaps the bat demon had poor eyesight and couldn't see in the dark.
Of course, there is another possibility, such as this bat demon or butterfly demon wanting to eat fresh food, so it raises her to digest the previous meal before eating her.
She had no choice but to fight.
Since this mysterious woman had not shown any murderous intent, Zhu Wuyao did not want to take the risk and gamble on a less than one percent chance.
It's better to preserve ourselves first and save the resources for later.
Zhu Wuyao found that she could move again. She caught the Pinghe Cauldron that flew back, suppressed the urge to attack, nodded, and said:
"Once you break through your seclusion, we will share in this prosperous era."
The puppet beside him, who was still bowing with clasped hands, finally changed its posture.
He stiffly raised his arm, making a "please" gesture, and led the way.
The reason why Zhu Wuyao mistook the Seven Illusions Gate of Stars for a deep mountain forest is because, apart from the mountain gate, the internal architecture is really perfunctory.
It's bad enough that the single-story house leaks when it rains.
It's still empty inside.
Looking at the desolate and eccentric decorating style before him, Zhu Wuyao was highly suspicious that, apart from the main hall of the sect, the residences on the back mountain were probably all like this.
She tentatively tried to communicate with the puppet:
"Fellow Daoist, where are you usually placed?"
Fellow Daoist remained silent.
He then turned and left, refusing to communicate.
Looking at his fellow Daoist's silent back, Zhu Wuyao felt a kind of loneliness, like no one would visit his grave after he died.
But then again——
Who knows, after I die, I might not be able to be buried and might even become a puppet?
Zhu Wuyao peeked around and then retreated back into Chajifeng's room. He raised his hand to set up a barrier, and after fussing around for a while, he set up array flags, talismans, and other items.
Only then did they respectfully bring out the wooden box.
Now, this is the only thing that allows us to communicate without anyone noticing any spiritual energy fluctuations.
She prayed sincerely before opening the wooden box.
Sure enough, there was a note inside!
When unfolded, it revealed Senior Sister Gu's handwriting.
"You probably won't die, so behave yourself and wait for me."
Zhu Wuyao remained silent for a moment.
When Gu Yiguan stands opposite you, plotting against you, it is indeed something to be wary of; but if you are in danger and Gu Yiguan is nearby, it gives you a glimmer of hope.
It is unknown whether the Blood Corrosion Curse can be broken.
If the problem cannot be solved, will Senior Sister Gu kill her as well to prevent future troubles?
