Chapter 103 Unexpectedly Reveals the Masked Man's Identity

Seeing that the Gu worms in Mo Hannian's body had all fallen into a deep sleep, Shaluo's eyes became extremely terrifying. "Want to die? Fine, then I'll have my darlings tear your flesh apart and turn you into a pile of mud!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shaluo raised his finger and whistled. In an instant, countless man-eating termites gathered from all directions.

Seeing this, Ye Li knew things were going badly; if this continued, Jiang Li's health would also suffer.

She wants to return to Jiang Li's body!

Seeing that the termites were about to attack Jiang Li's body, Ye Li immediately used her spiritual magic to protect Jiang Li's corpse.

When Shaluo saw this, he was utterly astonished. "Who! Who's here!"

Now that she had revealed herself, Ye Li took the initiative and immediately attacked Sha Luoru.

With the keen senses of an insect, Shaluo not only dodged the attack but also unleashed a black mist towards Ye Li.

The two then began to fight.

Then Ye Li discovered that although Sha Luoru was skilled in Gu techniques, he was actually very fragile.

Before long, Shaluoru's face was slashed by Ye Li's sword wind.

He touched the blood on his face, and his white, pupil-less eyes instantly turned mad.

He let out an angry, grotesque laugh, "Hurt me? Someone actually dared to hurt me, hahahaha-"

He was shouting and laughing, acting like a madman.

Just as Ye Li was wondering if he had gone mad, a chill ran down her spine.

Slowly turning his head, his pupils dilated instantly. What was that?!

On the ground, countless insects surged and gathered like a tide, forming a huge black vortex in the blink of an eye.

The vortexes spun rapidly like a tornado, climbing and squeezing each other, making a chilling rustling sound.

As Shaluo muttered incantations, the vortex gradually rose, lengthened, and tightened, slowly outlining a human figure that attacked her directly.

The scene was extremely bizarre, and Ye Li was stunned for two seconds before she remembered to dodge.

She swung her sword backhand, but the insects only separated briefly before gathering together again and attacking once more.

Unless she can wipe them all out, they can always come back again.

The most terrifying thing is that they can actually sense her presence and follow her around like a shadow.

Amidst the chilling buzzing of the black insects, Xie Sixing continued to cheer for Ye Li, "Go for it, Daoist!"

"The Taoist priest is truly a force to be reckoned with."

"This sword strike is so powerful it could swallow mountains and rivers."

"..."

If there had been time, Ye Li would have loved to cover his mouth!

What's the point of saying all this?! What's the point?!

With the arrival of the "insect people," the situation was reversed.

As Shaluo reconfirmed Ye Li's location, a strange smile appeared on her lips. Just as Ye Li swung her sword again, a crimson rope covered in eyes wrapped around her waist.

At the same time, her body seemed to be paralyzed, unable to move, and even the sword in her hand fell to the ground.

With a loud clang.

Xie Sixing said regretfully, "It's alright, Daoist Master. One win or loss doesn't mean anything. Try harder next time."

Ye Li: Will she do it again?!

At the same time, Shaluo walked towards Ye Li with strange steps. His feet seemed to be suspended above the ground, and every "movement" left no trace of his feet touching the ground.

He floated around Ye Li's soul once, then brought his nose close and sniffed.

Suddenly, he took two steps back. "Soul cultivator? There are actually soul cultivators in this world? Who are you?!"

His expression was as if he had seen a ghost; amidst the shock, there was even a hint of panic.

This surprised Ye Li. Sha Luoru was clearly somewhat insane, but at this moment, he actually had the expression of a normal person on his face.

Is he afraid of soul cultivators, or something else?

Ye Li didn't answer, instead engaging him in conversation, "And who are you, and why are you in the territory of the Wuqi Clan?"

Mentioning this, Shaluo Ru seemed to have forgotten everything. Her gray-white eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out, and she was furious. "It's all because of that person! He tricked me into coming here and made me work like a slave for him!"

That person?

Ye Li's heart skipped a beat. "You mean that masked man?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her waist tightened, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"You know him? Tell me! Where is he?!"

She guessed right.

Judging from Ksharu's tone, he wasn't with Ghost Face; it seemed more like he had been forcibly imprisoned here.

After figuring out the relationship between the two, Ye Li said, "If I knew where he was, I wouldn't be a wandering ghost."

Shaluo turned his strange pupils, "What do you mean?"

"I was killed by him."

Ye Li paused, "Besides, it was Su Ying'er who tricked me into coming down here. If I were with them, why would I be here?"

As she spoke, she kept an eye on Shaluo's expression. Sure enough, when she mentioned Su Ying'er, he showed no doubt whatsoever, clearly indicating that he knew Su Ying'er.

Just as Ye Li had guessed, Su Ying'er came to find Sha Luoru yesterday and brought Wen Yao's hair, saying that she wanted to help him leave.

He thought "Jiang Li" was just an ordinary Daoist cultivator, but now it seems that's not the case.

Moreover, he recalled the things she murmured when she was under the illusion; she seemed to have another name.

It wasn't Jiang Li, but Ye Li...

Ye Li...

Shaluo paused, as if something had disturbed his thoughts.

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Where had he heard this name before?

While Shaluo was reminiscing, Ye Li secretly cast a spell to break free from the shackles.

The moment the crimson snake eye rope fell, Shaluo Ru reacted, but it was too late; Ye Li's longsword was already across his neck.

Just as Shaluo was about to speak, the sword was raised higher, and Ye Li said coldly, "If you dare to make a sound, I'll cut off your head."

Shaluo dared not move again, "What do you want to do!"

"I'm asking you, who is the masked man, and what is your purpose here!"

With his life at stake, Shaluo became much more honest. "He is the high priest of the Wuqi tribe. He summoned me here to use Gu magic to revive the Wuqi people."

Ye Li frowned. "So how many did you revive?"

Shaluo suddenly gave a strange smile, "Why don't you take a look for yourself and see?"

Ye Li was startled and turned her head. There were more than a dozen dark figures on the walls and the ground around her.

Every shadow was moving closer to her.

The bizarre scene sent chills down Ye Li's spine, while Sha Luoru had already taken the opportunity to escape to the door. He chuckled, "They've been lonely for thousands of years, why don't you stay and keep them company!"

Ye Li wanted to chase after them, but she was surrounded by those black shadows, making it impossible for her to move an inch.

"What are all these?!"

Xie Sixing's voice was unusually serious, "These are Wuqi people who have not been fully revived. If they pull you into the stone wall, you will never be able to get out."

Ye Li tried to attack with her sword energy, but her attacks couldn't touch the shadows at all.

The next second, her ankle tightened, and a shadow swam up to her feet!

In the blink of an eye, her calves had sunk into the ground.

She was shocked and tried with all her might to get out, but she couldn't budge it an inch.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Li's legs disappeared into the hole, as if dragging her into an endless hell.

Xie Sixing suddenly said, "Call me by my name."

Before she could ask why, she cried out before she was completely dragged in.

"Thank you, Sixing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding golden light suddenly shone, and the dim space instantly became as bright as day.

A wild and domineering power surged out of Ye Li's body like a raging tide, instantly dispelling the deathly stillness that permeated the surroundings.

In that instant, Ye Li felt that her body was no longer hers; she felt a terrifying power capable of destroying the world surging around her.

The golden light was like a tangible blade; wherever it went, the dark figures were burned away one by one, emitting a "sizzling" sound, as if they were wailing in pain.

The surrounding alternate dimension began to twist and deform, and the originally indestructible space walls made a "creaking" sound, as if they could not bear the weight and would collapse in the next second.

As the earth shook violently, Ye Li finally succumbed to the force and lost consciousness.

The next second, "she" opened her eyes, one eye was gold and the other was black.

If Shaluo, who was watching the show, wanted to run away, it was too late; he was pinned to the wall and unable to move.

Ye Li smiled at him.

Do you remember me?

Karuoru's pupils widened from confusion to shock to fear, and his lips trembled as he stammered, "You are...it's you!"
