Chapter 4 004 This python is probably about to take on a human form...

The spiritual power of everyone in the building was sealed, and the lobby suddenly became noisy. Someone asked in surprise:

"Did the banker do this on purpose?! The God Devouring Pearl's cage was broken at this very moment. Could it be that he wanted to keep all of us here..."

"Our spiritual power has been sealed, and we have all become ordinary people. If something happens, how should we deal with it?"

"Why are you so worried? You could just leave on your own...wouldn't it be better if you could just leave a mile away from here?"

"The treasure is still behind us, why should we leave?"

"That's not the case. Since we've all become ordinary people, even if someone really has the will, they'll be powerless. There's no need to be so nervous."

"That's easy for you to say! But you forgot that the Evil Ghost Disk was just bought by someone. How can a mortal with the Evil Ghost Disk be compared with others?"

Zhuang Rong'er heard the man in the elegant pavilion next to her suddenly speak up: "Don't throw dirty water when the dog is desperate. Your words have pushed me into the spotlight. Don't you know that the evil ghost disk also requires spiritual power to drive it?"

It seems that he was the one who took the photo of the evil ghost disk.

The evil ghost plate can summon ghosts from the underworld to work for it. Depending on the cinnabar and runes used to make the plate, the ghosts that can be summoned will also vary.

The sealing of spiritual power does not affect the activities of ghosts, so it is understandable that people around them are afraid of them.

But the man was not lying. The evil ghost disk requires spiritual power to nourish it, otherwise the user will be attacked by the evil ghosts. I think he will not use it.

This person and Wu Heng had teased her before. She could recognize Wu Heng, but she didn't know his true identity.

"Don't worry, my dear guests. The dealer has already sent someone to get a spare cage, and they will be back in an hour at most. The singing of treasures will be temporarily suspended, and you can take a short rest..." said the crying Buddha attendant as he came on stage.

However, before he could finish, something suddenly fell from above at an extremely fast speed, faster than the wind. It was even difficult to catch its afterimage, let alone stop its fall.

Blood flowed from the mask of the Laughing Buddha's attendant, and he fell to the ground twitching. The God-Devouring Pearl in his hand was suspended in the air in the millisecond when it was suddenly knocked to the ground by the sharp weapon.

By the time everyone reacted, the dust had already settled.

They could only barely keep their eyelids open, which were heavy under the illusion, and watched as a golden hairpin emerged like a thunderbolt sword, piercing into the God-Devouring Pearl without a second thought, nailing it to the ground.

As Zhuang Rong'er was dazed, she heard someone laboriously reciting, "Blood-Crying Quicksand Hairpin..."

——It fell to the ground and became a city, formed into a small world, and turned into a quicksand city.

An irresistible feeling of dizziness swept over me.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw yellow sand all over the sky.

…

_

“…Cough, cough, cough, what the hell…”

Shui Wu struggled to open her eyelids, and her voice sounded less domineering due to her weakness.

She struggled to get up with her aching body and felt her throat was completely blocked by sand.

She didn't understand how the situation suddenly turned out like this.

Being thrown out of Changbao Pavilion dozens of meters away by that rude waiter was the most humiliating thing she had ever experienced in her life.

She believed she had endured the humiliation and didn't immediately burst into tears. Instead, she waited until the singing party started and then used all her tricks to sneak in...

She thought that the annoying waiter was busy at the counter and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. However, as soon as she jumped in from the windowsill, she suddenly felt weak all over, then dizzy, and finally fell into the sand pile.

But where did the sand pile come from? Why is the entire Changbao Pavilion gone?!

The environment changed drastically in an instant.

The dim sky and earth formed a huge decayed web, the nostrils were filled with the smell of dry sand, and a huge city stood in the vast desert.

She was stuck on the sand pile at the edge of the city wall, and the hard gravel and rough yellow sand rubbed her so hard that her whole body hurt!

The most terrifying thing was that she found that she had lost her spiritual power.

Perhaps she had already been tricked when she stepped onto the window sill of Changbao Pavilion and felt completely powerless.

——Someone plotted against her.

Shui Wu's face turned pale. She grabbed the dark red pendant around her neck and raised her head to the sky, shouting, "Whatever your purpose is, let me go now, and I will ask my brother to spare your life—"

That person must be hiding in the dark, observing her embarrassment. Maybe he even captured her to threaten his brother?!

If she had known this, she would never have rashly sneaked out of the Demon Realm just for a bet and came to this damn Ghost Market singing show.

It turned out that what the slave who was executed for secretly discussing her congenital deficiency said was true. Even though she was born into a noble family, she did not have any talent for cultivation.

Any waiter out there is better than her.

"This is really too much..."

Shui Wu wiped her tears and jumped off the sand pile, but her feet stumbled and she fell to the ground again.

"Ah! Even you, a dead thing, are trying to tease me!"

She slapped the sand beneath her fiercely with her hands, her palms reddening as she grabbed a handful of sand and threw it out in anger...

A corner of the mask suddenly appeared in the sand that was dug out by his subordinate.

Shui Wu was stunned for a moment and stopped crying.

She pulled out the mask completely and saw the pattern painted on it.

While crying for Buddha.

"...What a pair of beautiful hands! I can't help but want to hide them, hide them in my stomach..."

A short, pale man walked towards her silently from the blowing sand, staring at her hand holding the mask and swallowing.

Shui Wu was startled. She put the mask into her pocket and quickly stood up. She looked at the person and shouted, "Who are you?! You trapped me here?"

The man didn't answer immediately, but sniffed as if he was smelling her.

He looked very young, like a boy of twelve or thirteen, but his demeanor, behavior and voice were not like that. Instead, they were filled with an uncomfortable stickiness.

"I'm sorry... I don't have such great abilities right now, but... if such a day really does come, it would be so exciting!"

His unscrupulous gaze roamed all over Shui Wu's body, making Shui Wu so angry that she immediately wanted to poke out his eyes.

She then rushed forward, but she forgot that she had no spiritual power, and the man grabbed her arm with one hand.

"Girl, you really want to fight me in flesh and blood?" The man narrowed his eyes and said, "In this city of sealed spiritual power... there aren't many people as brave as you."

This person's words were really struggling, but Shui Wu also understood the implicit message - spiritual power was sealed! Quicksand City!

She wasn't a completely ignorant three-year-old. She had come to the Treasure Singing Contest precisely for the God-Devouring Pearl. She had even brought the Void-Breaking Eye, a gift from her brother, with her, hoping to trade it for the Pearl. How could she not understand the God-Devouring Pearl's effects...

As for what Quicksand City was, she had no idea. She could only guess that it was a spatial magic that had moved everyone in the Changbao Club there—only a terrifyingly powerful person could accomplish this?!

It's her fault for not being smart enough to think of this.

Shui Wu nervously tried to pull her hand back.

Her fear was seen by the man, who stared at her and smiled with great pleasure and satisfaction.

Although he also has no spiritual power, the confident and frivolous look on him is very intimidating.

Shui Wu really felt the danger, but the man let her go the next second.

"In Liusha City, there is a sandstorm every ten hours... It's almost time, girl, you should... follow me into the city and take shelter." He said.

Is what he said true? Could this person be so kind?

When Shui Wu was trembling with fear, she suddenly saw the man staring at her back and his expression suddenly changed.

Then he quickly said, "If you don't leave, I will," and jumped lightly onto the city wall and climbed up. The three or five-meter-high wall was like flat ground for him.

Even with his spiritual power sealed, he was still able to achieve this, which shows his outstanding physical skills.

But the city gate was not far away, but he did this in vain, as if he was fleeing in panic.

Shui Wu turned around in surprise and saw a giant white python crawling out of the city gate.

The giant python's body was as thick as two people, and it was fortunate that the city gate was wide enough to get out.

Its scales were as lustrous and radiant as the finest jade, their elegance unobstructed even by the dust. This python was probably on the verge of taking on a human form...

No wonder the man didn’t dare to go through the city gate!

Shui Wu was too frightened to go over, and then she saw a woman sitting on the giant python, calm and composed.

She was holding a person in a cloak in her arms, and from her direction she could only see the top of the person's head.

Shui Wu couldn't help but be stunned, staring blankly at the woman she had just met, and couldn't help but sigh that her brother's vision was indeed impeccable.

In such a short time, her sister-in-law had changed her clothes. She was wearing a goose yellow bamboo-patterned dress with white feathers hanging down, and a set of amber glass hairpins on her head. She had red lips, white teeth, and eyes like cold stars, and she was extremely beautiful.

The fox fur cloak spread out in her arms, as if she were holding a wounded snow-white little animal, like a fairy who saved all living beings.

——From her appearance, you would never guess that this beautiful woman is a ruthless person who keeps company with poisonous snakes, scorpions and insects.

Shui Wu discovered that her sister-in-law was wearing thicker and more gorgeous clothes than before, as if she had changed them specifically for the desert. She was truly a particular person.

She rubbed her arms and realized belatedly that she felt a little cold. At dusk, without her spiritual power, it was difficult for her to maintain a constant body temperature.

After being stunned for a moment, she quickly called out, "Sister-in-law!"

The gloomy man had jumped onto the city wall and disappeared. Shui Wu ignored him and ran towards Zhuang Rong'er.

Zhuang Rong'er noticed Shui Wu when she was leaving the city.

If time permits, she might ask why this person always calls her sister-in-law, but now the sandstorm is about to come, she must quickly verify her guess -

The Liusha City is not the small world created by illusion as rumored, but a space magic. The place where she is now is the ancient Liusha City that disappeared a hundred years ago.

It is both easy and difficult to verify this conjecture.

In her early years, she and Guilao had once visited the ancient city of Liusha, which had not yet been destroyed.

At that time, she was separated from the Ghost Lady and was trapped outside the city in a sandstorm. She spent half her life manipulating the sandworms and sandworms in the desert to work for her and help her dig a simple cave for temporary shelter.

Just two years later, news of the disaster in Liusha Ancient City began to spread.

The city lord's daughter You Xueqi was rescued by a powerful person and was the only survivor.

She was proficient in illusion, and later integrated the land that gave birth to her into her life-saving magic weapon, creating the Blood-Crying Quicksand Hairpin.

If the city view here was an illusion, then she would definitely not have seen the cave that even You Xueqi herself didn't know about.

But if she found the cave, she could verify her guess and survive in it for a while...

She appeared as the master of Cuihuan Valley, and brought Ah Huai and Xiaoshe with her. She was too high-profile and easily targeted. She didn't plan to stay in the city, as it would be too easy to get into trouble.

Ah Huai's condition is not good now. The effect of the Life-Restoring Pill has become very limited under the dual suppression of the two magic weapons, the God-Devouring Pearl and the Blood-Crying Quicksand Hairpin, and his body cannot fully recover.

Being in the desert, the temperature difference is huge and the climate is harsh. When she touched Ah Huai's forehead just now, she felt a faint sign of fever. She had to find a place to settle him down and take care of him as soon as possible.

She believed that the person behind the scenes would be happy to see her "seclude herself from the world" in this way.

Since he was not targeting her, he would never want her to interfere.

Shui Wu's running speed naturally couldn't keep up with the python, and soon she was left behind because Zhuang Rong'er ignored her.

But she didn't feel ignored and kept shouting: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait for me!"

Thick clouds were brewing in the distant sky.

Zhuang Rong'er frowned and asked the giant python to stop.

If Shui Wu still followed after the wind started to whirlwind, he would definitely be buried in the desert.

"...A sandstorm is coming. You'd better go into the city now." Zhuang Rong'er lowered her eyes and looked at Shui Wu. "Also, I'm not your sister-in-law. I'm Zhuang Rong'er."

"Is there really going to be a sandstorm?! Sister-in-law, why are you leaving the city?" Shui Wu didn't hear anything and continued shouting, "Sister-in-law, whatever you want to do, I'll follow you..."

The person in her arms suddenly moved slightly, and Zhuang Rong'er's mind was completely drawn to him. She saw that Ah Huai's eyelashes were trembling uneasily, as if he was suffering from a nightmare.

She wrapped her cloak tighter and patted the giant python beneath her wordlessly.

The giant python twitched its tail, and amid Shui Wu's screams, it wrapped around her waist and swung her hard—

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Shui Wu slid down an arc in the air and was thrown directly into the Quicksand City.

As a cultivator, even if he has no spiritual power, he is still tough and strong. It is better to fall than to die in a sandstorm.

They were obviously siblings, but Shui Wu was so difficult to communicate with. Unlike Shui Jue, who could always guess what she was thinking, like a worm in her stomach...

Shui Jue's figure flashed in Zhuang Rong'er's mind for a moment and then disappeared immediately.

Because Ah Huai in his arms suddenly opened his eyes.
