The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 156
Chapter 8 Negotiation
Gu Yin’s face certainly wasn’t one of joy or happiness, merely a calm state of mind.
“With the heroic deeds of Netherfire and Yin Dong before us, and the schemes of Mr. Baigui behind us, what’s the point of a single misstep?”
She praised the others but left You Li aside. Then she looked at Li Xun and shook her head slightly: “I’ve always been reluctant to be your enemy, but I didn’t expect it to go my way… What a Soul-Breaking Shuttle! When I received the Blood Kiss from Shui Dielan, I never imagined this day would come.”
She said no more, took Wuyou’s hand, and turned around.
The breath of the demon phoenix behind them faded away. Only Yu Sanren stepped forward and gently embraced Gu Yin’s waist with a very considerate gesture. At first glance, they didn’t look like a puppet and master, nor did they look like an uncle and niece.
Even though he knew it was a preparation for passing the outer seal, Li Xun’s hair stood on end.
The intense discomfort made him feel even more uneasy. Was Zhan Yin really giving in? After losing such a powerful force, she was so fragile?
Perhaps echoing his thoughts, Gu Yin suddenly turned and smiled. “Everything in the world has its gains and losses, and today I’ve personally witnessed it. It’s the Master or the Divine Lord who should consider this carefully.”
Before Li Xun could savor the taste, Gu Yin, held by the puppet, soared into the gray sky.
Is it over?
On the island in the middle of the lake, the cat continued to feed, the Nether Transformation technique still circling in mid-air. Yet, the scene suddenly lost its power to move people. It was as if the scenery and the music were still there, but the female role had left the stage. It was indescribably absurd and bizarre.
Li Xun looked at You Li, who was staring back at him.
It was just so strange. Two people who had both separated from the Ghostly Shadow Devouring Sect had done the most. They had the most scenes.
Their eyes met, but they didn’t know what to say, so they looked away.
Li Xun looked across the lake at the situation. You Li first checked the progress of the Nether Transformation technique, then his gaze wandered, taking in the dilapidated Ghost Gate Lake.
Across the lake. Madam Yan was looking at him with a complicated expression. Li Xun nodded slightly and leaped across the nearly dried-up lake. He reached the island in the middle of the lake to check on the cat.
As soon as he landed, Youli suddenly spoke, “What are your plans?”
Li Xun was startled for a moment before realizing Youli was talking to him. He turned around and smiled, “What do I do? It’s none of your business.”
He was still resentful of Netherfire Yama’s feigned trust in Youli while secretly colluding with him, and his tone was unkind.
Youli, unfazed, smiled faintly. “The little fellow is quite good, not much worse than Ghost Third back then. Now that Ghost Gate Lake is in trouble, why don’t you join me? I promise you the position of elder. With your abilities, the position of Sect Master will be within your grasp.”
Youli’s tone was playful. Li Xun glanced at him and sneered, “God Lord, you should think about how to handle Gu Yin’s next move. The Ghost Gate Lake cocoon may be broken, but it’s still more of a shield than Lihentian.” Youli
laughed heartily, then raised his head to gaze at the aura emanating from the Nether Transformation Divine Art and said, “There might be another Yin Shi in the Ghost-Eating Sect… I think I’m even stronger than that Nether Fire fellow.”
He laughed again, and without further ado with Madam Yan and the others, he soared into the air, piercing through the sky barrier and escaping.
Li Xun snorted, truly impressed by Youli’s demeanor.
He had no idea what the deal and schemes between Youli and Nether Fire were, but it was no easy task for a single sect to withstand the onslaught of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Shaking his head, Li Xun approached the remains of Moruohou. With a quick mouth like a cat, this demonic carcass could only be described as a wreck.
Kicking away the remains of the little creature, Li Xunshi noticed that the cat’s belly was already swollen and round, evidently well-replenished by the vast amount of vital energy and blood from Moruohou’s limbs.
“Hello, cat, long time no see,”
Li Xun extended his hand in greeting. The cat glared at Shi, but after confirming his identity, it ignored its greedy mouth and gently touched Li Xun’s palm with its nose, still stained with Moruohou’s fluids, in a gesture of affection.
Long-lost memories flooded back, and Li Xun chuckled softly.
“Okay, we should go too…” He put his fingers together, attempting to pick the little creature up. To his surprise, the cat tilted its head back, staring at him, then shook its head and shrank back.
Li Xun initially thought the little creature hadn’t had enough, but after repeated attempts, he suddenly understood: after nearly a century of confinement, this free-spirited creature no longer allowed anyone to interfere with its life. Even if she was once a friend and now a benefactor, it wouldn’t do.
Her attitude was so resolute that Li Xun couldn’t force her. He muttered “ungrateful” but finally smiled bitterly, patted the cat’s head, and stood up straight.
Li Xun thought back to how he was really a fool in this chaotic battle, fulfilling his role under the drive of complex factors. He might be the only winner who didn’t get any benefits and truly sacrificed himself for others.
With the thought of this deserted shop, Li Xun decided to leave. He didn’t expect to gain anything from this ruin, as long as he didn’t get into any more trouble.
Madam Yan on the other side of the lake clearly wanted to speak, but Li Xun glanced at her coldly and wiped out all her words.
Not wanting to stay any longer, Li Xun greeted the cat and confirmed that the little guy had the ability to break the Kaifeng realm. He said no more and flew into the air, just as he touched the seal. He felt something in his heart and looked down from above.
The once desolate Ghost Gate Lake lay dotted with sunken pits, vast tracts of jungle flattened. Only the lingering glow of “Earth Qi Pillars” offered a glimmer of hope.
But how many of the people he knew could have survived?
Mingli? Guiji? Or Ye Ru, Yan Caier?
No matter how much affection he had for them, it would be unkind for Li Xun to suddenly find himself forced to break with them without mercy. Furthermore, there were still those hateful… yet respectable old creatures, Netherfire Yanluo and Yin Cui.
Madam Yan’s gaze darted towards him again.
Li Xun’s lips twitched as he waved, “I’ll return the Netherworld Record to you soon… Madam. See you later.”
Without waiting for Madam to speak, he charged forward, completely plunging himself into the scorching confinement.
With his Blood Shadow Demonic Body’s speed, dodging the turbulent currents within the confinement was easy. Li Xun had flown perhaps a few hundred feet when the pressure suddenly eased. Then, the cool morning air permeated his pores, washing away the scent of fire from his body.
He closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and began to breathe in the long-lost air. His mood gradually relaxed, and after
a while, he remembered to observe the situation below. From high above, the entire Ghost Gate Lake was shrouded in a gray-black cloud, its edge invisible. If one were to force a comparison, it was roughly similar to the rainy season.
However, reflecting the rising sun, the outer layer of the cloud swirled and expanded, forming a faint halo. The stronger the light, the more pronounced the halo. It felt like a layer of glass, with a textured feel.
Li Xun thought for a moment and lowered his altitude. He reached out to touch the outer layer of the halo. As soon as his finger inserted it, a faint “weiwei” sound was heard.
A burning, numb, and painful sensation quickly shot up his fingers. Startled, he quickly withdrew his hand, but in that instant, his fingers were already coated in a charred black.
This minor injury wasn’t a big deal, of course, as the Blood Shadow Demon Body quickly repaired it on its own. But the changes within were beyond his expectations.
“The Yin Fire seals layer upon layer, each one connected to the Nine Netherworld. The flow of earth energy drawn in is actually directional. From the inside out, only the Yin energy contained in the seal itself hinders it; from the outside in, every step affects the Nine Netherworld. Attraction and repulsion, positive and negative, the transformation of Yin and Yang… Breaking out of a one-way seal is already difficult; getting back in would be a hundred times more difficult!”
He paused in mid-air, momentarily stunned. A seal of this magnitude, let alone him, would likely be swept into the Nine Netherworld like Qing Yan if
he tried to force his way through it. If a True One Grandmaster mastered the “Nine Netherworld Devouring Realm,” he would be able to enter and exit freely. But within this, if anyone harbored even the slightest ill intention, their ambitions to revive the sect would be a joke.
Li Xun, however, was completely unprepared. Now, thinking back, wouldn’t his earlier promise to return the “Netherworld Record” be a slap in the face?
“Why are you still trying to get in?”
Li Xun’s voice suddenly rang out, but he wasn’t surprised. He knew Youli, hiding nearby, didn’t mean any harm. He clapped his hands, turned, and faced Youli head-on. “I didn’t expect it to be so tightly sealed. Then again, wouldn’t the Lord God want to?”
Youli’s face sulked slightly as he shook his head. “Only trash like Netherfire and Mi Xuancang would treasure something so precious you can get out but not in. And yet there are a bunch of worthless bastards desperately trying to get in and see what’s inside. Treasure, treasure, treasure!”
At first, Youli’s tone was calm, but after a few words, it grew increasingly heated. He finally erupted in a rage.
Li Xunshi couldn’t help laughing, and glanced in a certain direction in the distance and said casually: “After what happened today, they may have given up.”
Youli glanced at him coldly and said: “You are a smart man, but there are not many people in the world with your mind. Even if there are people with your mind, they will never think the same as you.”
Li Xun knew what Youli meant. Both Ramash and Gu Yin were concerned about not the treasure of Xuanhai Youming City, but the shock of Tongxuan Realm caused by this treasure, and their ultimate goals were different.
The former was probably concerned with the sect’s interests, while the latter…
He sighed inwardly, only to hear Youli sneer: “The world is just a bunch of rats, intent on drilling holes through walls, thinking that houses are made of earth, stone, and clay. Little do they know that there are, after all, iron walls.”
His voice was so loud that it could be heard dozens of miles away. Li Xun was about to speak when a laugh echoed through the air: “Is there something untrue in your words, Lord?
The news that emerged from the Water Mirror Conference a month ago contradicts what you said.”
Both of them frowned.
This time, Li Xun was truly surprised. Could it be that Gu Yin had regretted her actions and returned to bring misfortune upon him and Youli?
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Yin, high up, gathered her skirts and walked in the air. Slowly descending. Perhaps it was the sunlight, her complexion was much better than before, looking rosy and healthy. The wind blew her clothes, and Jian Ying danced like a soaring star, unlike any other ordinary person.
Looking up at her radiant face, he was speechless. Unexpectedly, Gu Yin only spoke to You Li before her clear gaze fixed directly upon Li Xun, resting for a long moment.
Li Xun’s blood pulsed slightly beneath his skin, yet his demeanor remained rather cold.
The atmosphere suddenly took on an uneasy quality.
You Li, standing nearby, flickered his icy gaze between the two men, then chuckled, “Master Gu’s courage is remarkable. I wonder if you still have your life-saving devices with you?”
As he chuckled, the air around him suddenly stopped flowing, filled with murderous aura emanating from You Li. Li Xun had no doubt that if Gu Yin gave him even the slightest opportunity, You Li would strike and rid the world of this scourge.
Unfortunately, Gu Yin wouldn’t reveal such a flaw.
As You Li finished speaking, a clear flute note echoed in his ears. Though brief, its lingering sound was a clear warning.
You Li leaned forward slightly, seemingly oblivious to the moment. Gu Yin was only a few feet away. Given the difference in their cultivation and physical condition, it was entirely possible for him to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Yin. Even if he couldn’t, it wouldn’t be a big deal, right?
Gu Yin, unfazed by the Youli Sect’s murderous intent, remained calm. Her smile remained unchanged, and she simply raised one hand, drawing a circle in the air, creating a shimmering watery light.
“Water Mirror Technique… what’s this riddle?”
Li Xun was just beginning to wonder when figures flickered above the water mirror, clearly revealing over a dozen cultivators soaring high in the sky. Their Qi control techniques clearly belonged to the Youli Sect.
The image’s appearance intensified the murderous intent in the air. Like a cheetah about to pounce, Youli’s pupils shone a pale green light. However, at the height of the murderous aura, Youli actually laughed, dissipating the murderous aura completely as if nothing had happened.
“We’ve been delayed for too long, so I’ll take my leave. If you have some free time, Baigui, you might as well visit Lihentian. I’ll treat you as a distinguished guest.”
Youli said briskly, and then she left. She glared at Gu Yin, and with a flicker of her eye, he vanished.
“That trick again…”
Li Xun was completely helpless.
Previously, Minghuo and Youli had conspired to remove the sect’s texts, presumably as a backup plan for the “Nine Nether Devouring Realm.” However, Gu Yin, lurking nearby, had already spotted this group.
It was understandable that Youli, fearing a calamity, withdrew.
However, this incident mirrored the incident with Yaofeng and her daughter. Didn’t Gu Yin tire of repeating the same thing over and over again?
Her expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had just happened. She smiled and said, “Sir, I’ve long admired your name. Now, within the sealed realm, I finally get to witness your methods.”
Li Xun’s eyelids twitched. Gu Yin dabbed her lips with honey. She must have a sword in her belly. He truly didn’t want to engage in a feint with this woman, so he said coldly, “Master Gu, I dare not boast at this moment. Besides, I don’t consider it a blessing to oppose you.”
“I feel the same way, Master,”
Gu Yin said, her self-proclaimed address being exceedingly polite. She smiled, “It is not my intention to oppose you, Master. Besides, you have your fair share of troubles in other areas.”
“When I came south, I heard that Tianyuan Weng had mobilized the entire sect to come all the way south to seek revenge on you, and at the same time, he had released the ‘Transformation of Stars Sword Scroll’ to warn all around. They were all working together to eliminate the Blood Demon. And there are many in this world eager to take action. Judging by their actions, I swear to eliminate you as soon as possible.”
“Oh, really?”
Li Xun said unconcerned at the information revealed by Gu Yin, but his mind raced.
The Xinggong Sword Sect’s body wasn’t a problem, as long as he was careful not to get trapped by its forbidden techniques. Even three Tianyuan Wengs combined wouldn’t be able to stop him. However, the ‘Transformation of Stars Sword Scroll’ was particularly annoying, insisting on his Blood Demon identity. Was it to make him a pariah in this world?
What was Gu Yin’s plan in sharing this news?
Li Xun studied Gu Yin, but as he had done before, he glanced off into the distance. Then, he chuckled and said, “Some people are truly annoying… If Baigui Guangsheng has some free time, could you please ride with me? I have something to ask.”
Seeing her humble attitude, Li Xun’s guard immediately increased. After a moment’s thought, he coldly refused, “Those with different beliefs cannot work together. After all, I still have a connection with the Ghostly Shadow Devouring Sect. The Ancient Sect Master orchestrated the Fire Sect’s actions. We are completely different people, so we can’t get along. Why bother to end up in a bad mood? “
“We have different paths… Sir, that’s the truth. However, if you say we are two different people, I beg to differ.”
Her face was full of smiles, but her eyes held a chilling coldness. Li Xun, undeterred, stared at her for a long moment, with no clear winner.
Finally, Gu Yin continued softly, “Sir, do you disagree? But you and I both live in hatred. Others may not understand your thoughts, but I understand them.”
Gu Yin’s tone was gentle, yet to Li Xun’s ears, it resonated like thunder. Fortunately, he was used to concealing his emotions, only a slight frown didn’t reveal much.
He gathered his composure and was about to form a retort when Gu Yin offered a second invitation: “There are too many people here, so it’s not the place for a long conversation. If you don’t mind, why don’t you get in the car and talk?”
Li Xun didn’t move, staring at Gu Yin’s face, trying to gauge her thoughts.
Gu Yin continued to smile at Li Xun’s impolite behavior, only making a gesture with her hand.
Li Xun wanted to turn around and walk away from this woman, the farther she got from him, but the thought was extinguished the moment it formed. He now understood more and more that Zhan Yin might be one of the wisest men in the world, but she was also a unique lunatic.
If he disgraced her, who knew what she would do.
After a moment’s hesitation, Li Xun finally lowered his head. With a snort, he leaped into
the air and flew up to Gu Yin, who followed him silently without a word. As Li Xun ascended to the clouds, he immediately spotted Gu Yin’s cloud chariot, and also Lin Wuyou, swinging her feet in it. The girl’s bored expression was charming, but the memory of her imprisoned spirit, a walking corpse, sent a chill through Li Xun’s heart.
“Please, Mr. Baigui!”
Gu Yin extended her hand again, urging Li Xun to board.
Li Xun was about to step forward when he suddenly remembered that this cloud chariot might not be convenient… The cloud chariot before him was the same one he had shared with Gu Yin outside the Milky Way. It was already crowded enough for the two of them, let alone Lin Wuyou?
Despite thinking so, Li Xun couldn’t hesitate, lest he lose his composure. As he approached, Lin Wuyou sensed something, looked up, and seeing Gu Yin, she giggled, “Cousin, you’re back.”
The girl was incredibly lively, yet she seemed completely clueless about the breakup between Yao Feng and Gu Yin, and even less about Qing Ying’s death.
Gu Yin’s reaction was calm, simply saying, “Why haven’t you run away yet? Forget it, let’s squeeze in.”
As she spoke, the side panel of the cloud car opened. Li Xun frowned, but still climbed in and sat upright. Gu Yin followed suit, sitting beside him.
They both sat upright, yet their bodies still touched. Li Xun felt a chill run through their bodies, instantly realizing that Gu Yin’s condition was far from what she appeared.
“Hmm,”
the little girl Wuyou exhaled, leaping into the car and standing in front of them. The cloud car was long and narrow, but there was still room for footing, but the view ahead was completely blocked, making it quite cramped.
The cloud chariot trembled slightly and began to slowly build up air barriers around it, blocking the strong winds from high above. Li Xun tilted his head. He saw that the clouds on both sides were flowing backwards, but it was nothing compared to the speed of the trip between the Xinghe and the North Sea that day.
Back then, the cloud chariot was pulled by Mo Luohou. Now that Mo Luohou was dead, who was pulling the chariot?
Li Xun tapped the chariot board with his foot. Feeling the hidden compartment underneath, he felt a little curious.
“Hey, Taoist Hundred Ghosts, I heard that you and Ming Xinling Zhu are sworn enemies?”
Lin Wuyou’s carefree voice pulled him out of his distracted state. Li Xun looked up at her, trying to appear indifferent, but thinking of her misfortune, he couldn’t put on that cold face. He could only twitch his lips and respond lightly: “Just old enemies. It’s not a life-and-death battle.”
The pretty face of Gu Yin turned slightly outward, as if smiling. Li Xun glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said coldly, “Master Gu invited me to the carriage, so I am. Just say whatever you want to say.”
Gu Yin turned her head, half-smiled, and was about to speak when Lin Wuyou, in front of her, barked, “Cousin, wait a minute. I haven’t finished my questions yet!”
“Oh, I’m so sorry.” Gu Yin smiled gently, and just when Li Xun expected her to remain silent, she suddenly moved her slender fingers and touched Lin Wuyou’s forehead before she could react.
Under Li Xun’s surprised gaze, Wuyou’s bright eyes dimmed instantly, and her body slumped to her knees, leaning against Gu Yin’s lap.
To the uninitiated, she looked like a child in Cheng Huan’s arms, or a lazy, sleepy pet, all in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere. However, from Li Xun’s perspective, she saw Wuyou’s expressionless face, her eyes wide open, vacant and lifeless.
He pursed his lips, suppressing the turmoil within him. He shook his head, saying, “Master Gu, why bother arguing with her? She’s still a child.”
Gu Yin laughed out loud at this. “Although there’s no age in this world, the word ‘child’ is quite amusing when you say it, sir.” “
Do you know how old I am?”
The thought lingered in Li Xun’s chest for a few moments before he suppressed it.
Seeing his stern expression, Gu Yin smiled silently, reaching out and caressing Wuyou’s soft curves like a beloved pet.
This happened several times, and just when Li Xun thought she was distracted, Gu Yin whispered, “A useless move, at the very end, suddenly becomes a brilliant one, saving the entire board… It’s not often I encounter such a thing.”
Li Xun knew she was referring to Lin Wuyou and initially thought she was bragging, but judging by her expression, he didn’t think so. He could only respond, “Master Gu’s foresight is incredible. I’m ashamed of myself.”
His expression, unconcerned, couldn’t be hidden. Gu Yin’s lips curled slightly. “Is that so? I don’t believe it.” “Sir, you should have experienced this feeling. Watching the clues you’ve laid sink deeper and deeper, to a place you can’t even reach, and then suddenly, one day, you have the opportunity to pull them, and in the blink of an eye, everything changes.”
Li Xun’s brows were almost knotted. He had a strong feeling that Gu Yin wasn’t speaking to him at this moment, but rather, through him, to another, untouchable shadow.
The rhythmic movement of the words was almost dreamlike…
Feeling uneasy, he coughed, interrupting the eerie atmosphere, and said calmly, “Gu Zong Bian wants to confide in someone else, but I can’t handle it.”
Gu Yin didn’t get angry, but instead laughed, “Confide in someone else? I guess so. But having said that, I really want you to guess what’s really going on in my mind?”
Li Xun just sneered and didn’t respond.
Gu Yin, unable to wait for his answer, continued with an unchanging expression, “I’ve been wondering what I can do after extracting this clue. Qixia hates me to the core, but she can’t do anything to me and even has to be under my control. There are things I’ve been thinking about for a long time, but I’ve never had the chance to do them. I wonder if I can do them now.” For example…”
She paused for a moment, her clear eyes shining on Li Xun’s face before she smiled brightly: “For example, if I use Wuyou as a hostage to ask Qixia to sleep with you, do you think she would agree?”
Before she finished her words, a scorching murderous aura suddenly appeared from the clouds in the sky, piercing his flesh and bones.
Only then did Li Xun realize that the demon phoenix had been following him.
It was only after Duanzhu’s loss of consciousness that he truly understood the meaning of the ancient words. It was a hundred times more shocking than the murderous aura of the demon wind.
Li Xun had no doubt that if he said anything frivolous, the ashamed and angry demon above him would kill him without mercy.
He instantly made the most rational decision: “A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated. Qixia Yuanjun is, after all, a master of her generation. Even if Sect Master Gu has a deep grudge against her, it’s not right to humiliate her like this…”
“Really?”
Gu Yin’s gaze pierced deep into Li Xun’s eyes.
Reflected by her mirror-like gaze, Li Xun suddenly realized that his movements were far from as calm as he appeared. For a moment, he was overwhelmed by Gu Yin’s words, which seemed both a question and a confirmation.
However, before Li Xun could express himself again, Gu Yin averted her gaze, pursed her lips, and smiled: “It seems that sir still has concerns.”
She seemed to want to change the subject, but the next moment, her finger gently pressed against the back of Lin Wuyou’s head. The air within the cloud chariot suddenly became cold. At this moment, she opened her chin slightly and whispered: “Qixia, please stay away from us.”
The searing murderous aura from the sky could have overturned the cloud chariot. The surrounding clouds even took on a fiery red hue. But before the final burst of energy, it retreated helplessly.
Li Xun looked up and saw a streak of rainbow light drifting a hundred miles away, finally disappearing.
A beloved friend died. Revenge was unrequited: his daughter was controlled by someone, a peerless demon meeting such a fate.
Li Xun didn’t pity her; he felt truly sad for her. He also shared Gu Yin’s audacity, or perhaps even madness. (
She was mad herself, of course, but she really wanted to push Yao Feng down with her. If that were to happen, what would the mad Yao Feng look like?)
Li Xun’s thoughts inevitably drifted off again. Finally, it was Gu Yin’s voice that jolted him back to life: “A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated… What do you consider a gentleman?”
Li Xun sensed his current state of mind, seemingly a bit disoriented, and casually said, “Those who are capable will do it.”
This vague response was meant to distract Gu Yin.
Gu Yin seemed genuinely fooled, lost in thought for a moment. Li Xun sighed, using this opportunity to regain his composure. Just as he felt his mind returning to normal, he heard Gu Yin whisper, “Can Lin Ge be a gentleman?”
The words pierced Li Xun’s mind like a long chain of lightning.
At this moment, Li Xun’s muscles tensed up, and every hair on his body stood up, sharp as a needle. However, his consciousness was flowing at the same time, driving his lips to move up and down, muttering: “Lin Ge?”
Gu Yin’s tone did not change at all, as if discussing the issue normally: “Yes, Lin Ge. He was once the first disciple of the second generation of Mingxin Sword Sect of Lianxia’s Seven Swords and Qixia’s former husband. Can he be the best?”
The same question was put to Li Xun for the second time. He lowered his eyes and unconsciously looked at Gu Yin’s white skirt below. After a moment of silence, he said: “Probably.”
“Then Lin Ge was hung upside down by Qixia in front of Shuijing Cave for three days, n*ked for public display. The onlookers were so crowded that it could be said that “a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated”? “
Gu Yin’s tone finally revealed a hint of mockery.
Li Xun finally looked up at her with eyes as cold as snow, but his tone was unusually calm: “It turns out that Gu Zongtu also believes in cause and effect.”
“No, at most he just believes in “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” Gu Yin answered in a leisurely voice and laughed again, “That was a long time ago. The ancients said: “Once, how can you do it again?” But I say it is too much. It doesn’t matter if you do it again… What do you think, sir?”
The previous emotional fluctuations finally settled. Li Xun was not sure whether Gu Yin mentioned Lin Ge intentionally or unintentionally. He really didn’t feel like forcing Gu Yin’s jumping thoughts to avoid impulsiveness. He strangled the woman to death, so he said angrily, “Master Gu, please speak frankly.”
“Sir, don’t you understand? I just told you that you and I are of the same kind. My thoughts and actions should be yours, that’s all.”
“How unreasonable.” Li Xun instinctively rejected this statement. Regardless of whether Gu Yin was deliberately trying to get close or had other ulterior motives, he said, “Master Gu, your words are even more bizarre. Could it be that you have cultivated telepathy and can read people’s hearts?”
Gu Yin ignored his harsh words and smiled, “Sir, why are you so angry? I have a reason for what I say. Just the other day, someone went missing in my Yama Heaven. I’m really confused.”
Listening to Gu Yin’s lingering thoughts, Li Xun wanted to leave, but the lingering voice in his ears seemed to have a kind of enchanting power that kept him fixed in his seat.
Gu Yin also noticed his restlessness, and a smile flickered between his brows. A slight tilt of his face seemed to reveal itself. In this small space. This small action broke the reasonable distance between the two.
Her plump lips were almost touching Li Xun’s earlobes. The cool body fragrance accompanied by the slight breath caressed Li Xun’s senses, making his restless heart tense again.
At this moment. Gu Yin continued softly: “That man is a prisoner. I clearly used the technique of exhausting breath and exhausting essence. His cultivation level is restricted. As long as there is no external essence injected, he can’t gather a single bit of true energy even if he practices for another 100,000 years…
“But just five days ago, this man actually broke free of the black gold chain and rushed out of the cold room to escape from the North Sea Eye. It’s really infuriating. Mr. Baigui is also a master of the world.
I wonder if he can help me solve my doubts?”
The voice faded away slowly. Gu Yin smiled and looked at the man beside him. He was as stiff as a stone statue, both in body and mind.
Please continue to look forward to the exciting sequel of the second part of the Netherworld Immortal Journey
