Chapter 146: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian

"...The success or failure of the Xiantian Sect's millennium plan depends on this one move. Please don't let me down."

The leader turned his back to Luo Nan and spoke such harsh words, but there was a hint of a vague smile at the end of his words.

Luo Nan lowered her head, a few strands of scattered hair obscuring her hazy expression. She simply replied indifferently, "Yes, Master."

After waiting for a few more seconds, seeing that the leader had no intention of continuing to speak, Luo Nan asked for instructions and then slowly left the hall.

As daylight fell, she placed a finger on her own pulse, listening to the faint beat, her expression growing colder.

Can't do it yet, have to keep it...

In the following months, the actions of the Xiantian Sect became more frequent and blatant, and the conflicts and fights with other forces continued to escalate. If it were not for the inexplicable emergence of many powerful people working for the Xiantian Sect, the other forces would have attacked it long ago.

It's a puppet, and it's the most advanced puppet technique.

Luo Nan, who knew part of the truth, lowered her eyes. Even if she let a few of them go, it would be of no avail, but this was the only thing she could do.

From Luo Nan's eyes, she could tell that these puppets must have been geniuses in their lifetime. They controlled amazing magic skills and had unparalleled combat power. They could easily defeat two at once. What was even more terrifying was that these puppets had their own thoughts, and fighting against them was just like fighting a real person.

This terrifying puppetry, as well as the origins of these puppets, I'm afraid the Xiantian Sect's backup plan is terrifying.

...can they really succeed?

Even someone as determined as Luo Nan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt at this moment, but she quickly put it behind her. After all, in the end it was just a matter of death, and the leader would not let them go. After all... people are not as reliable as puppets.

Watching the disciples of the sect become familiar yet unfamiliar one by one, Luo Nan still remembered how some of her junior brothers and sisters had laughed and chatted with her before. Now, they had all become puppets with empty eyes. She closed her eyes, unable to tell whether she felt sadness or guilt in her heart.

Even if she was not protected by the top-level fire, the True Sun Fire, it would be hard to say how much of this body was under her control.

Hint, hint, the poisonous insect that was planted in the body at some point is real.

"Senior Sister Aruo, are you... sure?" Gu Jingyao asked again and again, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Aruo nodded without hesitation: "No need to say more, come." She could not accept herself becoming a puppet driven by the Xiantian Sect.

Jie Xinyan stood by and looked over worriedly.

"Okay, senior sister." Gu Jingyao sighed lightly and finally followed Aruo's wishes. He raised his index finger, and a charming red flame jumped and ignited. It had a very beautiful name - Red Lotus Karma Fire.

This was the gift Gu Jingyao received after he reshaped his body.

No matter what it was, it couldn't withstand the scorching heat of the Ten Divine Fires, and the larvae of the Nameless Gu planted by the Xiantian Sect were no exception. However, the Ten Divine Fires were so elusive and elusive that few could subdue them.

The Suzaku carrying the Nanming Lihuo, the Golden Crow carrying the Sun's True Fire, and the True Phoenix carrying the Nirvana Fire have long been extinct, and the other seven divine fires have only been heard of in legends for tens of thousands of years. This makes it even more apparent that Gu Jingyao, who possesses the Red Lotus Karma Fire, one of the ten divine fires, has an incredible opportunity.

Looking at the small flame flickering on Gu Jingyao's finger, it would be a lie to say that Aruo felt no fear. The crimson lotus fire refined her soul, burning away the fruits of her sins. Aruo knew that she was not a pure person, untouched by karma and untainted by dust. The fire would surely burn her soul.

If she couldn't withstand the burning of the karmic fire before killing the larvae in her body, there would be only one outcome. Aruo was already prepared: "Come on."

Gu Jingyao's mind moved, and the flame on his fingertips flew up slowly, leaped into Aruo's body, and suddenly exploded.

"ah!"

At the moment the flame entered her body, even though she was mentally prepared, Aruo still couldn't help but scream out in pain, but it was only this first cry, and she didn't make any other sound.

The crimson lotus-shaped flame enveloped Aruo. Aruo bit his lips tightly, his face showing pain. This kind of pain was a hundred times more severe than the torture. The flame did not touch the flesh, but only refined the soul. The pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow and bones.

Xie Xinyan was extremely distressed and wished she could take her place. Aruru was their junior sister, and everyone in the sect doted on her. Aruru had never suffered any hardship since she was a child, but Xie Xinyan knew that if Aruru could not withstand the karmic fire and was controlled by the poisonous insect in her body, she would rather die.

Jie Xinyan couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she looked away, her face tense, and she hated the Xiantian Sect leader to the extreme.

The flames grew brighter and brighter, the crimson of the lotus heart became more and more brilliant, the lotus petals stretched out, and the red lotus blossomed gorgeously.

Gu Jingyao remained silent. As the master of the Red Lotus, he knew better than anyone how powerful the fire was. Even though he had deliberately suppressed the outbreak of the karmic fire, the pain was not something he could easily endure.

After a full hour, the karmic fire still showed no signs of burning out. Aruo only felt her soul floating in the flames, and the pain could not be numbed. She could only hypnotize herself again and again, persist, persist, and persist... She didn't know how long she had been in a daze.

Suddenly, Gu Jingyao's brows relaxed and he thought to himself, it's done.

The red lotus fire suddenly shrank and turned into a dot that came out from between Aruo's eyebrows and re-entered Gu Jingyao's body. Aruo suddenly opened his eyes, a fishy taste in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. In the black blood, a larva that was roasted to the color of charcoal twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Xie Xinyan was overjoyed when she saw this. She hugged Aruo and almost burst into tears.

Aruo only felt her body and mind lighten, as if she was floating in the air. She had never felt so light before, as if her soul was walking on the clouds.

"This proves that it is indeed possible to use karmic fire to force out the poisonous insects!" Aruo could not hide his joy.

Gu Jingyao poured a bucket of cold water on her: "Others don't have your perseverance to withstand the burning of karma."

"No problem, if there is one, there will be two. With me as a current witness, other forces will definitely lean towards us. What the Xiantian Sect did this time is really too ruthless." It was so ruthless that other sects would definitely join them as long as they saw the hope of resistance.

However, this also shows that the Xiantian Sect is determined to carry out this mission.

"I remember Anan also possessed a strange fire..."

Gu Jingyao shook his head, denying her expectations: "Sister's Sun True Fire is too overbearing and cannot be contained. It will only burn people and insects to ashes."

There was a hint of regret in Aruo's eyes, and he thought of another thing.

I don’t know what’s going on with Qinghuang now.

"Look, how many suns are there in the sky now?"

The former emperor in green asked his attendant, who bowed his head in fear and trepidation and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there only one sun in the sky?"

"If you don't look up, how do you know there is only one sun in the sky?"

There was no emotion in the Qing Emperor's words. The attendant mustered up the courage to look up, but his legs instantly gave way and he knelt on the ground, muttering, "How can there be two suns in the sky?"

Qing Huang did not care about his rudeness. He looked up at the sky solemnly. At this moment, two big suns were hanging in the cloudless sky. One was brighter and the other was slightly darker, and its outline was a little vague.

The two suns appeared at the same time, which just meant that the nine heavens and ten earths hanging high in the sky were slowly overlapping with the lower world, and a catastrophe was about to come.

Inside the Immortal Palace, Old Wen caressed his whisk, which he never left behind, as if it were his lover, and murmured, "Old buddy, I never thought we'd see the day we fought side by side. I thought that after that day, you'd never again unsheathe your whisk."

The whisk trembled slightly, a flash of light passed by, and it turned into a snow-white scabbard. Under the candlelight, Old Wen's figure slowly lengthened.

The silver light appeared, the candlelight went out, and the room fell into silence again.

The shadows of the two people were reflected on the screen of the adjacent room.

Fu Xingchi smiled gently: "Junior sister, an informant reported that Junior Brother Ye Luoying seems to have some ulterior motives."

Luo Nan raised his eyes, calm and collected.

Fu Xingchi's smile remained unchanged: "Junior Brother Ye seems to have some objections to the leader's approach. Although Junior Brother Ye is extremely talented, the Xiantian Sect does not need disobedient children. Junior Sister, what do you think?"

At this moment, he was just like discussing the issue of educating younger siblings with his adult brothers and sisters, asking for their opinions in a gentle tone, without any murderous intent or coercion hidden in his words.

Luo Nan replied calmly: "I understand, I will take care of it."

Fu Xingchi praised: "Good boy."

He turned and left. Luo Nan watched his back and suddenly asked, "Are you the Fu Xingchi I know now?"

Fu Xingchi stopped walking, still with his back to her, and said with a smile: "I can be, right, my dear child."

When was...

Luo Nan was rarely anxious. She rubbed her left wrist, her thoughts turning over and over, but she decided to stay put.

The white-haired leader who was sitting in the main hall at this time sensed that several poisonous insects had died, but there was no surprise on his face.

The world is so big and there are so many strange people. It is normal to be able to remove a few of his ordinary poisons. As long as the final few chess pieces are not in trouble, the matter is still under control.

The leader fiddled with the silk thread in front of him with one hand, thinking absentmindedly.

The Gu is just the first step, the silk thread connecting to the Gu is his real goal.

If someone blessed by heaven opened their third eye, they would be able to see that in front of the Xiantian Sect leader's body, there was a huge ball with countless silk threads wrapped around it. Above the golden light, endless luck was flowing into his body along the silk threads.

Enjoying this treatment that even immortals have never had, the leader of the Xiantian Sect was calm and composed, and did not take those autumn grasshoppers seriously at all.

Thinking of the new body he was about to obtain, he felt even happier. Once he devoured the Son of Destiny, even if the Dark Chaos came early, it would not necessarily be able to defeat him, and he would definitely not be able to follow his original fate.

Only the winner takes all.

"elder sister!"

Gu Jingyao saw Luo Nan from afar and waved to her happily.

Luo Nan walked in slowly and asked calmly, "I heard that you are quite dissatisfied with the recent actions of the church."

Gu Jingyao hesitated a bit, but thinking that this was the Saint Sister, he answered honestly: "Yes, Sister, I think..."

He said slowly but firmly, "It is wrong for the church to do this. We are not qualified to make choices for other living beings."

"I see..."

Luo Nan half-turned her face to look into the distance. She didn't see the hopeful look on Gu Jingyao's face. "Ye Luoying... No, perhaps I should call you the Human Emperor of the Lower Realm, Gu Jingyao."

Her hand holding the knife was quick, accurate and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation and extremely steady.

Gu Jingyao's pupils shrank and he lowered his head in disbelief. Blood dyed the snow-white blade red and flowed down.

The tip of the knife went straight into the heart.

Luo Nan waited for a long time, but didn't hear the question of why, so she couldn't help but turn her head.

Gu Jingyao grinned and said, "Sister, if it were you, you could take this life anytime you wanted."
