As Zhou Yuanyuan expected, Cha Rui took action as soon as he arrived at the Nawa tribe’s headquarters.
Seeing Cha Rui trying to escape, Zhou Yuanyuan's hand suddenly swelled up, and her five fingers formed a claw, grabbing Cha Rui.
Cha Rui turned his body into mist and avoided Zhou Yuanyuan's grab.
Zhou Yuanyuan was furious. With a flick of her fingers, a blue flame the size of a bean flew towards the black mist that Cha Rui had transformed into. Since she and Cha Rui had already fallen out, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't mind showing him some strength. Back in Kyoto, Zhou Yuanyuan had already proven that the flames from the "Fierce Sun Technique" were harmful to Cha Rui.
When the black fog landed, it was caught up by the blue flame.
"Ah~!" After a heart-wrenching scream, the black fog squirmed into the ruins.
The blue flame lost its target and gradually went out.
Zhou Yuanyuan controlled the flying sword and wanted to go to the collapsed temple to see what was going on.
The flying sword stopped about ten meters from the temple ruins. Zhou Yuanyuan increased the spiritual energy input, but the flying sword retreated instead of advancing, emitting a mournful "buzzing" sound.
Inertia caused Zhou Yuanyuan to stagger and she almost fell off the flying sword.
"Master, something seems to be wrong here. How about letting Zhuzhu go and check if there is anything unusual first, and then you come down?" Seeing that the flying sword was retreating instead of advancing, Chaos Zhu quickly volunteered to go ahead.
"It's okay, let's go together!" Zhou Yuanyuan put away her flying sword and floated down from mid-air. Standing on the flying sword, Zhou Yuanyuan had already explored the place with her spiritual sense. Apart from this half-collapsed temple, there was nothing else here. Seeing the answer right in front of her, she couldn't just give up, right?
"Okay, Master. Please be careful." Chaos Pearl glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan worriedly. Somehow, Chaos Pearl felt that something was strange here, but she couldn't explain why.
Perhaps, all this stems from the fact that Cha Rui is not as incompetent as he appears, and he actually escaped from Zhou Yuanyuan, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Zhou Yuanyuan said nothing. As her feet were about to step onto the ruins of the temple, a warning suddenly struck her heart: Could this Cha Rui have deliberately lured her master here?
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuanyuan's realization was too late. As soon as her feet touched the ground, the black mist that had been "flowing" on the ground suddenly swept towards her, enveloping her tightly within seconds. Disgust, anger, resentment... waves of negative information surged like a tide, creating a huge wave in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness.
"Wow, what the hell is this?" Xiaoyu, who was searching for a jade slip on the Rainbow Bridge, opened her mouth wide and looked at the originally blue sky and blue sea scenery. It seemed as if a filter was installed and it turned gray in an instant.
Boundless coldness swept over Zhou Yuanyuan, and pictures kept flashing through her mind:
Zhou Yuanyuan saw herself standing on the eighteen-story rooftop of a commercial building in City N, and leaped down. Half a minute later, Zhou Yuanyuan's body lay like a rag doll, unrecognizable, sprawled beneath the building. Crimson blood continuously flowed from her body, soaking the ground around her. A faint gray spirit floated out of her rag-like body, floating in mid-air, gazing blankly at the surroundings.
No! How could I have jumped to my death? Didn't I already control my own destiny in this life?
"Chatter, chatter... You have been dead for a long time. Cultivating immortality is just a beautiful dream of yours." A gloomy voice echoed above the soul.
No, it wasn't a dream! Zhou Yuanyuan had truly embarked on the path to immortality. What was the big deal about jumping off a building? As long as she wanted to, she could travel a thousand miles in one step.
"Chatter chatter... Stop dreaming. You are just a soul, a soul that is about to enter the underworld." The eerie voice continued to refute Zhou Yuanyuan.
A beautiful dream? Could such a beautiful dream ever be so real? She clearly remembered that in this life, she had a perfect family: her parents, her brother, her grandfather, her uncle, and even a great-grandfather who loved her. And her brother, Ziqing, who cherished her dearly... If all this was a beautiful dream, what was the reality? Could it be what was happening right now?
The pale grey soul floated beside the shopping mall, watching "itself" being sent to the crematorium, and watching the "relatives" from the previous life fighting over the compensation from the mall...
No, it’s not like that, it’s fake, all of this is fake!
In a rage, the spirit pounced on those people who were annoying. They fell to the ground and fainted. A moment later, the sound of an ambulance approached from afar, dragging the unconscious people straight to the hospital.
It's not fake? Her soul was spinning in circles anxiously. She felt so angry! She had clearly started a new and beautiful life, why was it fake? After all the good things were gone, what should she do with the rest of her life?
As the hatred in the soul grew, the color of the soul changed from gray to black, and it tended to get darker.
The dark soul floated and floated, floating forward. She heard a call from afar. She saw many souls like her in front of her, gathering from all directions, forming a dark stream, "flowing" forward.
A black "stream" composed of countless souls flew over the mountains, over the sea, and flew over the temple where the Nawa tribe was stationed.
Most of the roof of the temple had been lifted off, like a monster with its mouth wide open.
The "streams" of souls poured continuously into the temple's "big mouth." It was unknown how long it took, but after the "big mouth" had devoured each "stream," countless black mists rose from the ruins of the temple and rushed towards the surrounding area.
Shrouded in black fog, the green mountains turned into black stone mountains, and the clear green water turned into foul-smelling sewage. Countless ordinary people died painfully under the surging black fog, and finally turned into dry bones. Among these ordinary people who died, there were many familiar faces to Zhou Yuanyuan, and her brother Ziqing...
No! Impossible! Her brother Ziqing had been a brilliant man in both his lives. How could he have died so quietly?
Ah~! Zhou Yuanyuan raised her head to the sky and let out a silent cry.
"Master, wake up!" Xiaoyu shouted.
Zhou Yuanyuan's body flashed with brilliant light, and the black mist that enveloped her body melted silently like white snow hitting the scorching sun.
This was the power of the exorcist jade talisman Xiaoyu had just carved. Xiaoyu immediately noticed the changes in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness and quickly mobilized her innate spiritual energy to carve an exorcist jade talisman. As the golden rune took shape, it emitted rays of golden light, illuminating Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness.
