After learning about the background information of the man in blue, everyone at the Yunlai Inn was taken aback.

Why?

As Kuafu said, this man in blue was the same blind old man he had seen in his youth.

His name is Guo Liu.

He was originally an ordinary mortal in the Heavenly Spirit Kingdom, but after his father died, he joined a very small immortal cultivation sect on his own.

He enjoys making puppets in his spare time, and it is this hobby that led him to create the art of puppetry.

Using one's own soul as a guide, it is imprinted on the puppet, whether good or evil, all determined by one's own heart.

These puppets possess extraordinary offensive power, especially in their soul attacks, which are similar to the Dao of the Primordial Spirit.

Life would have continued leisurely and comfortably.

but.

The arrival of a woman shattered this peaceful life.

Guo Liu fell in love with the woman, and their love was so intense that he was willing to die for her. Even though the woman was a member of the demonic path, he disregarded the contempt of the righteous path and continued to do as he pleased.

final.

Righteous people felt that this outcast was affecting their reputation!

Finally, someone issued a bounty, and the high reward was enough to tempt any cultivator.

Even though some people had previously sympathized with the ill-fated couple, they immediately began to hunt down Guo Liu and his wife after the bounty was issued.

Guo Liu and his wife fled to a rural area in the Heavenly Spirit Kingdom, intending to live a carefree and happy life there under assumed names.

However, things didn't go as planned!

That night.

On Fengling Mountain, a fierce wind raged, and dark clouds covered the sky!

One by one, monks dressed in Taoist robes surrounded the home of Guo Liu and his wife.

These people accused Guo Liu of defying the heavens, but in their hearts, they were always thinking about the high reward.

Upon witnessing this scene, Guo Liu felt utterly hopeless!

What's wrong with just wanting to be with the person he loves?

The demonic woman following him was filled with anger and sorrow. Was it really a mistake to be born a demon in this world?

That's right.

This demonic woman is not someone who cultivates demonic energy in the traditional sense; rather, she has been a member of the demon race since birth.

This race is not tolerated by the righteous forces in the entire chaotic starry sky.

Because the cultivation method used is extremely brutal.

In addition, most demons are solitary, which makes their reputation in the eyes of the people a complete mess.

That night.

Guo Liu and his wife were no match for the crowd and were nearly killed. At that critical moment, Guo Liu burned his life essence and used all his trump cards to send his wife away from the void rift.

And him!

He was captured.

I originally thought...

His wife escaped into the void rift, where a bright future awaited her; even without him by her side, she would still have a chance to live.

However.

There are many people in this world who are consistently greedy and cruel!

The bounty notice clearly stated that the only reward was to kill Guo Liu and his wife, or capture them alive and hand them over to the person who issued the reward.

Only then is the mission complete.

In other words, if it's just Guo Liu alone, no one can get this reward.

For this enormous bounty!

People's eyes turned red with rage, and powerful figures from all sides mobilized. Some even tore through the void to find Guo Liu's wife and beheaded her.

When Guo Liu was surrounded by a group of people, he was still laughing, because he felt that it wouldn't matter if he died, as the person he loved was still alive in this world.

He swept his disdainful gaze across the assembled heroes, a look as sharp as a knife, which only made them feel their own baseness and shamelessness.

However, when those cultivators dressed in righteous robes and with holy faces appeared before Guo Liu...

Guo Liu was completely stunned.

Because within his sight, he saw the head of his beloved wife.

At that moment, he was heartbroken. He was pinned to the ground and could not get up. He could only keep pounding the earth with his hands.

In just a few breaths, his arms were already a bloody mess!

Blood and flesh can blur the arms, and tears can blur the eyes.

"That's terrible! How could Guo Liu's situation be so dire?"

Yunlai Inn.

Many cultivators looked at Guo Liu kneeling on the ground with pity. Seeing his unbearable pain made countless people's hearts clench.

Is the so-called right path truly the right path?

"These Guo Liu and his wife just wanted to survive, what did they do wrong?"

"Did they deserve to die at the hands of these so-called righteous people?"

"What the hell kind of world is this?"

"His wife, although nominally a member of the demon race, judging from the previous scene, she couldn't even bear to kill a rabbit!"

Why do kind people always receive vicious retribution?

At this moment, the crowd was filled with indignation.

"By the way, how did Guo Liu survive in the end?"

"Also, who was that puppet he was holding earlier?"

"Fellow Daoist, please continue to show us. We want to know how Guo Liu will finally take his revenge!"

The innkeeper said with a solemn expression.

As he had seen before, Guo Liu was holding a stunningly beautiful wooden puppet. At that time, he was a young man, but by the time he was being chased, he had become a middle-aged man.

This means that Guo Liu only began to study the art of puppetry after his wife's death.

So, how did he survive?
