Chapter 46 No one can stop me from waking up Li'er

Night falls, at Ziyu Residence.

As soon as Mo Hannian entered the room, his straight back instantly hunched over, and he coughed violently while leaning on the table.

At the same time, he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing that the marks of the Gu poison on his chest had spread to his shoulders.

Ye Li's brows twitched; she hadn't expected Mo Hannian's Gu poison to flare up so badly.

That's right. Since she left, Mo Hannian believed Su Ying'er's theory that "eating more sweets will improve your mood and cure the Gu poison." He not only stopped taking medicine but also stopped avoiding certain foods. It's already quite remarkable that he has managed to hold on until now before the poison flares up.

Mo Hannian sat cross-legged on the bed, struggling to regulate his breathing. Before long, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained his Taoist robe. He clutched his chest, his expression one of extreme pain.

He trembled as he took out a bottle of medicine. Ye Li recognized it at a glance; it was the antidote pill she had previously prepared for him.

Mo Hannian poured out a pill with difficulty, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly remembered something and slammed the pill to the ground.

The pills rolled all over the floor.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I won't take your charity!"

Ah, I've been receiving charity from her for years, even if I don't want it.

For so many years, she has searched all over the country just to find a way to cure his poison.

Finally, her hard work paid off, and she found the deadly poisonous herb, the Heartbreak Grass.

But for Su Ying'er's sake, he poured out her bitter medicine.

He felt that Su Ying'er was the one who truly cared about him, and he loathed her, his senior sister.

But what if he knew that it was Su Ying'er who had brought him to his knees?

Thinking of that scene, Ye Li couldn't wait any longer.

However, how to let him know is the problem.

She thought of something, but she didn't know if Bai Xiaosheng had taken it away.

Late at night, Ye Li returned to the nameless cottage and searched through it.

Bai Xiaosheng had ransacked the place; the cabinets and drawers were all empty.

Ye Li remembered that the book was placed on her bedside table.

This place was also in disarray, and my gaze swept around it.

She picked up a booklet from the ground. The pages were worn and looked unremarkable, so Bai Xiaosheng didn't notice it, and she survived.

Ye Li smiled upon seeing the notebook.

Mo Hannian will soon find out what he missed.

When Ye Li returned to Ziyu Residence, Mo Hannian had already gone to sleep.

She placed the notebook on the table.

He will see it as soon as he opens his eyes tomorrow.

However, Ye Li didn't have time to watch the show. The next day at daybreak, she quietly went to the Mist Camphor Forest with the Grand Elder.

Accompanying them were two sect leaders and several Golden Core stage disciples, including Nie Hongye.

As soon as Ye Li stepped into the misty camphor forest, she sensed that this place was different from before.

The white mist that once enveloped the camphor forest turned gray and hazy, and a putrid smell permeated the air.

Many disciples perished inside, and the Grand Elder was on high alert, distributing an antidote pill to each of them.

"This fog is a bit strange. Everyone stay together and don't get separated."

Thick fog obscured their vision, making it impossible to see their way. They cautiously made marks as they moved forward.

Suddenly, Nie Hongye pointed to the mark on the tree, "We're back!"

The elder went over and took a look, confirming that it was a mark they had left behind, and his heart sank.

The elder of Shuiyun Sect asked in surprise, "We followed the compass, how could we get lost?"

The elder put down the compass. "We've been bewitched."

The Grand Elder was at the peak of the Integration Stage, the two Sect Master Elders were both at the Nascent Soul Stage, and even the several personal disciples were at the Golden Core Stage. How could such a group of people fall for the spell without even realizing it?

Just as the elder had said before, the Mist Camphor Forest has come back to life.

Seeing that everyone had been going around in circles all morning, Ye Li decided to use the advantages of her soul form to check her surroundings.

Relying on her memories from previous visits, she tried to find the entrance to the cave.

An hour passed, and nothing was found.

Ye Li stopped her aimless search, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to concentrate.

Her body lay in the cave, and she tried to feel her own breath.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and found it!

The gray mist dissipated, revealing the cave, and the dark entrance was suddenly emitting a red glow.

Not only that, she also smelled a strong stench of blood, silently exuding a dangerous aura.

Ye Li drew her sword and slowly walked down the steps.

The deeper you go, the stronger the stench of blood becomes.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Ye Li's pupils still dilated when she saw the scene inside the stone chamber; the horrifying sight froze her in place.

how so……

The missing disciples were all suspended in mid-air by chains, thick blood dripping from their bodies and falling into the grooves on the altar.

Blood surged into the eerie totem, flowing towards its center.

At the center of the totem lay her corpse!

Ye Li looked at this horrifying scene, at the disciples whose faces were turning blue and purple, feeling both angry and terrified.

What kind of evil magic is this, that it has taken so many lives!

"Your Excellency."

The sudden sound made Ye Li tense up instantly. She turned her head and saw Huang Guang.

The next second, the masked man stood up from beside the altar.

"Who's here?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Gate Sect. They are currently on the outskirts, and I am afraid they will find their way here."

"Hehehe-"

Laughter echoed in the stone chamber, rough and chilling.

The masked man looked at the corpse on the altar. "No one can find this place, and no one can stop me from waking up Li'er."

Li'er...

He was talking about her?

Ye Li couldn't understand why he would wake her up after killing her.

Who exactly is he, and what is his connection to her?

Everything around her filled her with dread, especially seeing the tragic deaths of her fellow disciples.

Some of the faces on the photos were ones she recognized, but now they had all perished, just like her.

Ye Li was furious. She stared intently at the masked man. Regardless of whether he was a member of the Wuqi clan or not, he deserved to die!

The masked man seemed to sense something; he raised his head and looked in Ye Li's direction.

Ye Li silently gripped her sword tighter.

Just as she thought the masked man had discovered her, he turned to Huang Guang.

"The Soul-Devouring Furnace can burn for seven days."

Huang Guang lowered his head and replied meekly, "Yes, there was no interruption during that time."

The masked man nodded, then looked back at the altar. He raised his hand and stroked the corpse's face. "Could it be that you couldn't wait any longer?"

"Don't worry, you'll wake up soon."

Even though Ye Li had no physical sensations, she still got goosebumps all over her body.

What exactly does he want to do with her body...?

What does his use of "wake up" mean?

...

When Ye Li left the cave, the Grand Elder and his party had already left the Misty Camphor Forest.

After this trip, the Grand Elder became even more certain of his conjecture.

She gazed at the camphor forest, slightly lost in thought. "It seems we must ask the sect leader for a decision."

Afterwards, the three elders worked together to reinforce the seal of the Mist Camphor Forest, preventing anyone from accidentally entering and also preventing anything inside from escaping.

However, looking at the dense fog-shrouded forest, Ye Li felt that the seal could not contain the masked man at all.

She is currently only at the Golden Core stage and cannot confront the masked man head-on. She needs to focus on her cultivation.

Not only for herself, but also to avenge the wronged souls who died tragically!

Lotus Gate

As soon as Ye Li returned, she heard arguing inside.

Lu Ziting hissed, "Xiao Wu! What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly pulling Ying'er along?"

Wen Yao advised, "Yes, Xiao Wu, you two talk slowly, don't scare your junior sister."
