Missed
Inside the misty forest, Shu Huixin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, a strong sense of foreboding.
Before dawn, she wheeled herself out of the house.
"No!"
Shui Buyun was pouring water into the water tank when he heard Shu Huixin calling him, so he immediately put down the bucket.
"Why are you up so early? It's not even dawn yet."
"Call Xiangxiang and the others awake."
"I?"
Shui Buyun was instantly overwhelmed. "Your good apprentice hasn't slept for days and nights trying to refine some needles, and now—"
"Go quickly!"
Shu Huixin's expression was solemn, not like she was joking.
Shui Buyun knew her too well. Seeing her suddenly become so nervous, he guessed that something might be about to happen and immediately ran to the backyard.
Bang--
Ren Xiangxiang, who was playing chess with the Duke of Zhou in her dreams, was startled awake and suddenly opened her eyes, only to hear a mournful roar outside.
"Ren Xiangxiang, get up right now—"
"Are you crazy?!"
Ren Xiangxiang threw on a coat, her hair disheveled, and suddenly pushed open the door.
To her surprise, her master, Shui Buyun, and Mo You were already standing neatly dressed in front of her door.
Her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she slammed the door shut.
"Hahahaha..." Shui Buyun laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, tears welling in her eyes as she explained to Mo You, "Little fox spirit, don't be angry, it's really not my fault. Look, you woke up as soon as I called you, she, she... hahaha... I almost smashed down her door to wake her up, she, hahaha..."
Mo You shook his head helplessly, "Xiangxiang has been too tired these days, it's not her fault."
"Tsk...so sour..." Shui Buyun suppressed his smile.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
Ren Xiangxiang glared fiercely at him, her cheeks still flushed.
"Master."
“Don’t blame him for not letting you get up. I asked him to wake you up.” Shu Huixin explained for Shui Buyun. “Xiangxiang, now that you have mastered the Gu-Slaying Needle, you should go find the remaining three items as soon as possible. Leave now.”
"Wh-what?" Shui Buyun was shocked.
Ren Xiangxiang also looked bewildered, "Now... but... but I still don't know where to look for it? But..."
"Leave now." Shu Huixin's almost commanding tone made Ren Xiangxiang feel a little afraid.
At this moment, Shui Buyun also looked at her, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
"Xiangxiang, don't blame your master, don't hate me, you should leave now! There's no time left."
"Master..."
Ren Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment, but still obediently nodded.
Just as dawn was breaking, Ren Xiangxiang and Mo You left the Liuwu Forest.
Shortly after the two left, the Gu woman suddenly appeared in the Liuwu Forest.
From the depths of the dark forest, a murderous intent descended from the sky. The Gu woman retreated, and the mute mantis slashed at nothing with a loud bang.
Birds took flight in fright, and a demonic aura surged forth.
The water in the yard should not be allowed to enter immediately.
Who is it?
Just as Shui was about to investigate, Shu Huixin beat him to it.
"You stay here, I'll go check on things."
"you--"
Shu Huixin didn't give him a chance to speak at all. She slid her wheelchair out of the courtyard gate, and the gate slammed shut behind her.
Shui hesitated, but then she heard Shu Huixin's icy voice again from outside the door.
"Don't come out, or you'll be gone forever."
Shui refused to suppress her dissatisfaction.
A silvery laugh echoed from within the misty forest. The Gu woman swayed gracefully as she approached, her large, watery eyes looking pitifully at the white-clad, white-haired woman in a wheelchair on the hillside.
A flash of shock crossed her eyes. The woman in front of her looked somewhat like the woman in white. If the woman in white hadn't been wearing a veil, she would have almost thought that the woman was right in front of her.
"Are you Shu Huixin, one of the Six Palace Immortals?" The Gu woman suppressed her smile and asked in a low voice.
Shu Huixin nodded slightly. "It's me. And who are you?"
"Gu woman." The answer that came out of her mouth startled even the Gu woman herself. For some reason, the killing intent in her heart vanished. She put away the dandelion and asked loudly, "I don't want to fight you. I came here only to find someone."
"Xiangxiang has already left." Shu Huixin smiled faintly. "If you don't believe me, you can go in and check. I won't stop you."
"Where did she go?" the Gu woman pressed.
Shu Huixin shook her head. "I don't know either, but I know she will definitely find a way to counteract the Gu."
"you--"
Enraged, the Gu woman suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, and the killing intent that had just been ignited was uncontrollably suppressed.
This is... the king's will...
"Who exactly are you?" the Gu woman roared at Shu Huixin.
Shu Huixin's expression was calm, with a slight smile on her lips. "My name is Shu Huixin."
Each word was like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing the Gu woman to experience a splitting headache.
Shu Huixin...
Who is Shu Huixin?
one……
A very, very important person.
"Ahhh—"
Shui Buyun in the courtyard felt a powerful demonic aura sweep across everything, and a shrill scream exploded in his ears.
Shui Buyun's heart leaped into her throat. No longer caring about Shu Huixin's warning, she transformed into a beam of light and flew away.
"Shu Huixin—"
On the hillside, the woman in white with white hair sat calmly in her wheelchair. Hearing Shui Buyun's voice, she turned her head slightly.
"Hey... why don't you listen to me at all?"
"Obey me? Obey what?" Shui Buyun asked warily. "Where is that thing from just now?"
"They've left," Shu Huixin said calmly. "They've probably gone to catch up with Xiangxiang."
"Chase... So that's why you wanted to drive them away? You knew all along that thing would come here?" Shui Buyun was astonished.
Shu Huixin shook her head. "I don't know, maybe..."
"Huh?" Shui Buyun was completely baffled. Seeing Shu Huixin turn and leave, he hurriedly chased after her. "What do you mean? Hey! Shu Huixin, explain yourself! What exactly is that thing?"
Beneath the Liuwu Forest, something seemed to be rushing back towards Yanshi Ridge.
Inside the underground cave, the beating heart suddenly stopped, as if it saw the white-clad, white-haired woman take out the faded sachet and be utterly shocked.
Gu Ao remained silent, but a deep, cold male voice echoed in her mind.
"From now on, you will all obey the orders of the Queen of Gu."
Queen of Gu?
Gu Ao looked up at the white-clad, white-haired woman wearing a veil. The woman's eyes were closed, revealing no emotion, yet she exuded an invisible pressure.
Undeniable, and irresistible.
"Yes, madam!" Gu Ao replied.
At the same time, Gu Ye also sensed the king's consciousness and was secretly alarmed.
After Gu Lang's death, he took charge of the remaining forces near Tun Ning Bay.
He searched for the remnants of the Night Red Clan for a while before discovering that Houxia and Xiaofeilian were secretly advancing towards the vicinity of the Dangerous Peaks with the remaining clansmen for some unknown reason.
It seems the demon race is planning to join forces with the demon master.
As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed several demonic auras approaching from not far away.
Shu Zhuo and the others, who were rushing back, also sensed the presence of Gu Ye.
Just as the two sides were about to meet, Gu Ye suddenly sensed an aura among them that made him feel a chill run down his spine.
For the dead, it is the ability to control the breath of life, making it their nemesis.
"This is--"
The old woman who was trying to prolong life took the lead, and she didn't look like an old woman at all. She casually pulled a willow branch from her hair and lashed it forward.
With a snap.
The willow leaves burst forth, carrying with them a vibrant and flourishing life.
Master Gu was terrified. He suddenly raised his cane and shouted.
"This illusion is not a lie!"
In an instant, the scenery around the three of them changed, and Ye Honglanzhi and Shuzhuo simultaneously prepared to fight.
But the old woman who was trying to prolong life just smiled coldly and waved the willow branch in her hand again.
"break!"
With a bang, the white mist exploded in front of Gu Ye, rushing towards him as if it were alive.
"not good!"
Startled, Gu Ye quickly drew the Illusion Tree to cover his entire body and began to retreat rapidly. Then, three more loud bangs rang out, and the surrounding white mist grew thicker and thicker, sweeping towards Gu Ye from all directions.
Once the white mist touches the Illusion Tree, the Illusion Tree immediately reverts to an ordinary tree.
The scenery around Ye Honglanzhi and Shu Zhuo suddenly changed, and the two could clearly feel that the sinister aura was rapidly moving away.
The life-extending grandmother is truly extraordinary...
Ye Honglanzhi was secretly alarmed. She exchanged a glance with Shuzhuo and they each put away their weapons.
Unexpectedly, the Life-Extending Granny seemed to see through the two of them and snorted, "It's not that I'm powerful, it's that my abilities are just right to counter him. That old bastard, the Six Palace Immortal Descendant of your Qiling Mountain, almost killed me. You two, if you encounter him next time, remember to avenge me!"
"Who is Li Yi...?" Ye Honglanzhi asked Shu Zhuo.
As one of the Six Immortals, Shu Zhuo replied with a strange expression, "He is a demon tamer, but he does not follow the righteous path and acts strangely. No one who offends him has a good ending. Apart from that half-demon Yu Ziyuan, everyone in Qiling Mountain wants to get rid of him, but it is not so easy."
"You old bastard, why don't those vile Gu go after him?" Granny Life-Extending couldn't help but grit her teeth whenever she mentioned Li Yi.
Shu Zhuo gave a wry smile and said, "Even if we look for him, we might not be able to find him."
To avoid spoiling their mood, the life-saving old woman didn't mention that unlucky thing again and followed the two smoothly into the dangerous mountain range.
Two days later, there was only one lifeline left on Le Qing's body. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the Life-Extending Granny arrived.
"Let me make this clear first: once I cast the spell, there's no turning back. If you regret it later, there's nothing I can do." Granny Life-Extending glanced at the book, then turned her gaze to the woman on the bed.
Shu Zhuo didn't take it seriously; instead, he seemed relieved. "Please, Granny, perform the ritual. To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Waiting to die?" The Life-Extending Granny chuckled, then shook her head to herself, "That's true... who doesn't go crazy for coming to me to extend their life!"
Only the life-saving old woman and the book-chopping remained in the house.
In the courtyard, Mie Chenhuan never expected that they would actually bring the Life-Extending Granny. Luckily, he reacted quickly and hid in time. Otherwise, if she had seen him and a group of people were begging her to save him, he might have been beaten up by the mob.
"How exactly did you offend her?" Xiao Cangdao asked curiously.
Behind her followed Kou Huai, who was always eager to watch the drama unfold.
During this time together, Mie Chenhuan had come to realize that there were always more despicable people out there, especially this demon tamer. He didn't know what kind of evil magic this demon tamer used, but fighting him was like cutting cotton. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't kill the demon tamer, which made him very frustrated.
"Get out of here, what are you doing here?" Mie Chenhuan shooed Kou Huai away with disdain.
Kou Huai grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and cracked them open as he said, "If I leave, aren't you afraid I'll expose you?"
"You—" Mie Chenhuan gritted her teeth, "You just wait, one day I'll kill you!"
"Don't interrupt, don't interrupt! How did you offend her?" Xiao Cangdao stopped the two in time.
Mie Chenhuan glared fiercely at Kou Huai, who then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Xiao Cangdao's hand.
“I…” Mie Chenhuan sighed heavily, “She has a lover named Gui Zhe Ku Tong, who has the ability to see the heavens. I asked him some questions, but he wouldn’t tell me, so I took action, and that’s how it happened.”
