"Your master and Azu..."
As she was speaking, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the statue beside her, and a phantom image of a woman slowly rose up from it.
The two then realized that the phantom looked exactly like the stone sculpture, with a dignified and peaceful expression on its face and a sense of compassion for all living beings in its eyes.
"Whose blood awakened me?"
The two women looked down and realized that they had just been fighting off sleep, and their weapons were stuck in their thighs. Blood was still flowing on the ground, and there seemed to be an imperceptible inclination between the ground and the wall. The blood had unknowingly flowed to the feet of the statue on the stone wall.
"Who is this senior?" The two women were taken aback and asked subconsciously.
"Everyone calls me Aunt Bao. This is a wisp of my divine will that I left behind. Your bloodline seems to have some mystical properties, which is why it activated me," the phantom replied, as if waiting for them to exclaim in amazement.
The two women were filled with doubt. They were not from this world and had never heard of the name. They had heard of King Oyster Mushroom, but they were afraid that if they mentioned it, the other party would get angry.
The woman's illusory figure visibly froze, and could only say, "Have you ever heard of the Immortal Lord Baopu?"
The two women nodded: "We've heard of it."
The Immortal Lord Baopu is a household name in this world, after all, he is the only person in thousands of years to ascend to immortality.
The woman's illusory figure looked visibly displeased before saying, "He is my husband."
The two women looked completely bewildered: "???"
"Even immortal lords have wives?"
The female phantom replied irritably, "He wasn't born an immortal, so naturally he has a wife."
"So you are the wife of an immortal lord. Greetings, senior." The two women bowed again. The wife of an immortal was practically a legendary figure.
"Do you think I want him to become an immortal?" The woman's illusory figure looked rather unpleasant, especially when she thought that the other party only knew her because of her husband, which made her even more frustrated.
She was displeased and was about to leave in a huff, but then she noticed the two women's condition. "Oh, you two seem to be injured."
The two women gave a wry smile: "The injuries on our bodies are minor. The main problem is that we were hit by a strange ray from the Ghost King. We are extremely tired and are only holding on with our last bit of willpower. We could fall asleep at any moment."
The two women exchanged a glance, each seeing a glimmer of hope in the other's eyes. They knew that although the person before them only had a wisp of a will left, she had been the wife of an immortal in her previous life, and perhaps she could save them.
"Ghost King?" The phantom frowned, whether because it hadn't heard of him or because it remembered something, "Judging from your condition, you seem to have been hit by the ultimate technique of the Yin-Yang realm, Eternal Slumber Gaze. Once hit by this move, you will be in eternal slumber, never to wake up again, until you become a pile of bones."
Pei Mianman and Chu Chuyan's hearts sank; it was indeed the worst-case scenario.
"I wonder if you have a way to save us, senior?" Pei Mianman asked hurriedly, and Chu Chuyan's eyes also showed a hint of expectation.
The illusory female figure shook her head: "If you had come to me back then, I would have been able to save you. But now I only have a wisp of remnant spirit left, and I have no power left. I am powerless to help you."
Upon hearing her say this, the two women were immediately plunged into despair.
"How pitiful, how lamentable." The illusory woman shook her head and was about to turn and leave.
Seeing that she was walking out of the cave, Chu Chuyan suddenly asked, "Senior, are you able to get out?"
The illusory female figure nodded: "Indeed, I can sense that the great tomb has reopened, and some unfinished worldly ties must eventually be settled."
Hearing that she seemed to be going to the great tomb, Chu Chuyan's heart stirred: "I wonder if I could ask you a favor, senior?"
