Chapter 225 It’s more dangerous to follow you
Bai Rui heard her inner voice and said, "Some cultivators learn some crooked ways, but after death, they are unwilling to give up. They use some means to stay in the world of the living and cultivate a physical body. However, these cultivators' cultivation methods are similar to those of demons. They need to devour other cultivators and refine their spiritual energy to become their own."
Gu Yue listened quietly. Then she looked down at Bai Rui and said, "Why does Heaven allow such a thing to exist?"
Bai Rui spoke excitedly, and he was very happy that he could help Gu Yue: "There is good and evil in this world. Perhaps the way of heaven uses this to balance the world."
"Ah! Does existence mean it is reasonable?"
Bai Rui looked at Gu Yue and praised her with his eyes, saying, "So smart!"
"I've been contracted by that demon-subduing pestle. Its former owner asked me to carry on his legacy, to subdue demons and defend the Way. Since existence is justified, how can I fulfill this demon-subduing wish? I don't think it's possible!"
She felt that the passive contract had no benefits and instead restricted herself. She didn't know whether she could terminate the contract.
Bai Rui remembered that he was the one who suggested Gu Yue to use the Demon-Subduing Pestle, and it was he who caused this incident.
"Call it out so I can take a look."
Gu Yue moved his mind, and the demon-subduing pestle appeared in his hand. The two horns on Bai Rui's head emitted a beam of white light, shining on the demon-subduing pestle.
Gu Yue looked at it curiously. She felt that Bai Rui seemed to be scanning the demon-subduing pestle.
"Its previous owner was obsessed with conquering demons, which led to his death. He also added a spell to the magical weapon. Erasing this spell won't be difficult. I'll be able to do it once I advance one level."
"Before that, I will have to take on the responsibility of exorcising the demon, or see if I can terminate the contract."
"Breaking the contract will lead to a fall in realm."
"Ah? That's it for now. You should hurry up and practice. I'll wait for you to help me erase the spell."
She couldn't bear to fall in realm. Her realm was not good enough here. If she fell further, she would be easily crushed to death like an ant. She had to intensify her cultivation.
Bai Rui agreed obediently: "Okay, these evil spirits will hide in places with strong demonic energy. We should try not to go to such places. Wait for me."
Gu Yue nodded, picked up the jade slip she had gotten from Senior Qing Qian, and began to study it seriously. She had also learned the Lightning Induction Technique from it before.
The next morning, Gu Yue checked the situation in the space and found that there were some birds singing and animals calling around, as if the forest had returned to its original appearance.
She left the space and found herself in the forest. She saw that the hill from last night was still there, but the bones seemed to be gone. There was only a charred mark on the ground where the black energy had been struck by lightning. This proved that everything that happened last night was real.
She summoned [Green Light] and, with a flick of her body, she stood on it, controlling it to soar into the air. It reached a height of about twenty feet and then stopped rising. She could only look at it from twenty feet away. The entire forest seemed endless. As far as she could see, she couldn't see the edge.
She saw a high mountain dozens of miles away blocking her view and decided to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.
She released her spiritual sense and flew towards the mountain.
She was thinking, if this was just a small world, then how could she get out of this small world? Would other cultivators also fall into this small world?
After a while, she got the answer to this question. Her spiritual sense sensed that there were two cultivators in front of her, a man and a woman, who were attacking the monster, a fifth-level monster.
Gu Yue descended and slowly approached the two cultivators. The male cultivator made some hand gestures and pointed at the monster.
This is a monkey-like monster with two long fangs. It stands with its two strong arms. When it waves, the spiritual energy turns into spiritual energy blades and collides with the spiritual power thrown out by the male cultivator. With a crisp sound, the two spiritual energies cancel each other out, and a look of astonishment appears on the male cultivator's face.
When the ape demon saw the female cultivator holding a sword, it stabbed its chest and roared at the female cultivator. The roar turned into a spiritual blade and flew towards the female cultivator.
The female cultivator raised her sword to block, and the spiritual blade collided with the sword, making a "clang" sound like metal and stone. The female cultivator was shocked and took two steps back.
Seeing this, the ape demon proudly hit his chest with his forearm. He thought that it would be no good for these two to mess with him. The male cultivator did not look like he had a strong fighting ability. He had not seen him fight from the beginning.
The female cultivator steadied her body, gathered her strength, raised her sword and pounced on the ape monster, launching a fierce attack.
While the monster was fighting the female cultivator, the male cultivator set up a formation around the ape monster. The male cultivator seemed to place the formation stones casually, then used his spiritual power to cut his fingers and squatted on the ground to draw the formation pattern.
After a moment, the array pattern glowed red, and the array stones emitted thin golden lines that slowly connected. The formation was complete, and he beckoned the female cultivator to retreat.
This is a compound formation that combines a trapping array and a killing array.
Gu Yue had never seen formations that required drawing formation patterns in the Qingxuan Continent, and she felt strange. Could it be that the formation techniques in the Cangwu Realm were more diverse?
She suppressed her confusion and continued to observe them.
The moment the two monks retreated, thunder and lightning struck in the formation. The ape demon ran around at first, but could not get out of the formation. It had no choice but to resist the thunder and lightning in the formation until its demonic power was exhausted, and it was struck all over and charred, and fell to the ground.
The two monks then walked over, skillfully cut out the demon pill, peeled off the skin and took out the bones. After a while, only a pile of flesh was left on the ground, which they didn't want anymore.
Gu Yue waited until they had finished packing before coming out.
"My two fellow Taoists, do you know where this place is?"
The monk turned to look at her and found that she was a thin female monk. There were questions on their faces, as if they were curious about why a monk would appear here.
The female monk was pretty and charming, with her long hair tied into a simple bun and wearing a red robe. She turned her head, rolled her eyes, and smiled, saying, "My fellow Taoist, are you lost?"
Gu Yue answered truthfully: "After I entered the secret realm of Baiguang City, I was sucked in here by a suction force. I don't know where this place is, nor do I know how to get out."
The female cultivator then said, "I see. My name is Zhu Yan, and this is my senior brother, Cheng Lin. We also got in here without knowing how. We don't even know how to get out."
Zhu Yan invited, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Do you want to join us in the training?"
Gu Yue found it strange that the two of them didn't show any signs of nervousness from being dropped into a strange world. Instead, they seemed relaxed.
"No, my friends are outside. I want to get outside as soon as possible."
Cheng Lin's face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe that Gu Yue would reject their proposal.
"My fellow Daoist, it is very dangerous to be alone in the forest."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Cheng, for your reminder. I will pay more attention."
I thought it would be even more dangerous to follow you guys, not only would I have to be on guard against monsters but also people.
After saying that, Gu Yue flew away with [Green Light].
