Chapter 327: Lure the
Tiger Away from the Mountain Gu Zhifei didn’t mind Xing Mu following her to Fuyaoya.
She was not so stupid as to think that Xing Mu and she met by chance and the latter felt like they had known each other for a long time, so he decided to go through fire and water with her and share life and death with her.
This guy probably saw a business opportunity and planned to do something shady.
Since he is after profit, why not take advantage of him?
However, Gu Zhifei kindly reminded him: "That person can stir up strange phenomena in heaven and earth, most likely he has reached the Nascent Soul stage. Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess with me?"
The Nascent Soul of a demon cultivator is different from that of an ordinary cultivator.
Demonic cultivators are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. They enter the Dao by killing and pave the way with corpses. Their path of cultivation is covered in blood, and the heavenly tribulations they will suffer will be stronger than those of ordinary people.
For ordinary cultivators, the emphasis is on the word "crossing" when overcoming tribulation; for demon cultivators, the emphasis is on the word "tribulation".
Therefore, Nascent Soul cultivators are not uncommon, but Nascent Soul Demon cultivators are very rare.
All the demonic cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are a disaster to the world of immortal cultivation.
Even Yan Jue, who was called the devil, was only at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
Xing Mu didn't really care. He sneered, "So what? If I can't beat you, I can always run. I don't need to run too fast. I just need to be stronger than you."
What he said makes sense, but he is so blatantly talking about betraying me, isn't he afraid that I will cheat him later?
He didn't seem to be too scared. He picked up a grass stalk from the roadside, held it in his mouth, and looked at Gu Zhifei: "What are we going to do now?"
The caravan could no longer go, and the flying tools were no longer possible. If the two of them flew over such a large target, they would probably be crushed into pieces by the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator in a matter of minutes.
Gu Zhifei was also thinking about this issue.
It was good that she used the shapeshifting grass, but if it was exposed, it would mean that she and Xing Mu would be immediately exposed to the other side. However, if they did not follow the caravan, they would be in danger as well.
Unless Gu Zhifei turned around and looked at Xing Mu.
Xing Mu got goose bumps when he was looked at by her: "What are you looking at? Don't look at me, I don't like women."
Gu Zhifei still looked at him.
Xing Mu said seriously: "Of course, I don't like men either."
Gu Zhifei didn't care what he liked, he just liked a piece of stone, and it had nothing to do with him: "Xing Mu, do you have half the blood of a demon beast?"
Xingmu's face instantly darkened.
This is a pain he cannot mention.
Yes, he was a half-orc, the child of a human and a snake demon. No matter how hard he worked or how outstanding he was, he was still what others called a 'bastard'.
He had been avoiding this question all along, but Gu Zhifei easily exposed his scars.
"Why are you asking this?" Xing Mu's tone was extremely bad, and he even wanted to leave.
But he held back.
He was born a half-orc, but it wasn't his fault! He didn't come into this world voluntarily. If he could choose again, he wouldn't even want to be born into this world!
He originally thought that if Gu Zhifei laughed at him, he would beat her up and then proudly tell her: What's wrong with being a half-orc? Even if he is a bastard, he is much better than you monks who claim to be extraordinary!
But who would have thought that Gu Zhifei would say: "I thought about it and felt that only if you transform into a snake can we sneak into Fuyaoya."
Xingmu’s anger came to an abrupt end.
He never expected Gu Zhifei to say this.
He thought Gu Zhifei would exclude him or say something sarcastic, but he didn't expect that Gu Zhifei was only thinking about how to use his half-orc blood.
Gu Zhifei took out the demon pill that had not yet been warmed up from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Xing Mu: "Use this to conceal the aura on you and me, and try to pretend to be more realistic."
Xing Mu held the demon pill in his hand, not knowing what to say or feel for a moment.
But the atmosphere was a little weird, and he felt that he had to say something to calm himself down: "Why don't you ask me why I'm a half-orc? Or don't you have anything else that interests you?"
Gu Zhifei looked at him strangely: "What's so strange about that? Isn't it just that one of your parents is a demon? In the Legend of the White Snake, wasn't Xu Xian also a human, and wasn't Bai Suzhen also a snake demon? Their baby is also the Star of Literature."
Unlike people in the world of immortal cultivation, Gu Zhifei can accept any strange settings. After all, they are all written by her, so there is nothing she cannot accept.
Xingmu felt that he was comforted for the first time in his life.
Why had he never thought of this? Aren't the children of the human and the white snake also considered half-orcs? But they even have immortal status, so why should he be inferior? Xing Mu was so excited that he obediently became Gu Zhifei's mount before he could come to his senses.
When he came to his senses, he had turned into a giant snake and crawled for two kilometers.
No? He was deceived, wasn't he?
The deceived person had no empathy at all. He knocked on his snake head with a magic weapon, shook his head and sighed: "Your transformation is not very sophisticated. Have you ever seen a snake with hair on its head? It's obvious that it doesn't often transform into animal form."
Xing Mu felt that Gu Zhifei's focus was simply outrageous.
Others care about the purity of their bloodline, but she cares about not turning into a monster often.
No, he is a good human being, why should he be a monster instead of a human being?
Xingmu was angry and climbed another two kilometers.
With the cover of the monster's aura, Gu Zhifei and Xing Mu's trip went very smoothly.
Along the way, they saw many caravans, all heading to Fuyaoya. All this indicated that Fuyaoya was in great danger, and Gu Zhifei's heart was lifted little by little.
If Guang Shubai and Hua Xixia are really in Fuyaoya, then how to pick them up becomes a big problem.
Two kilometers away from Fuyaoya, Xingmu regained his human form.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go on, but the bloody sky was ominous and there was basically no life within a two-kilometer radius of Fuyaoya.
We don’t know what’s ahead, and rushing in would only lead to our death. It would be better to discuss countermeasures first and then decide what to do next.
However, some people no longer wanted to discuss countermeasures.
Xing Mu looked at the clouds in the sky that were so dense that it almost rained blood, and turned back to ask Gu Zhifei: "Are you sure there are living people in there? Your friend might have already..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but both of them understood what he meant.
Gu Zhifei didn't know whether he should continue to move forward. According to Fuyaoya's situation, they might be strangled as soon as they reached the periphery. Such recklessness would not be worth the loss.
After a few thoughts, Gu Zhifei made up her mind. She said to Xing Mu, "Let's observe from the side first, and then decide what to do."
Xing Mu was eager to hear her say this, so he quickly changed into beast form and dragged Gu Zhifei away.
They stopped at the inn closest to Fuyaoya.
In order to avoid panic, Xing Mu transformed into a human form, paid the money, and went to Gu Zhifei's room to discuss what to do next.
"If your two friends really came here, either they haven't gone deep into Fuyaoya, or they are in the lair of that Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator."
Gu Zhifei told Xing Mu the truth, half true and half false. The latter made his own judgment on the matter: "Since they are used to threaten you, they should at least be alive."
Gu Zhifei nodded, she had thought of this as well.
Xing Mu added: "There are two possibilities now. One is that your friends are also victims of deception. They are waiting and watching like us. Then how can we inform them? The best thing to do is to leave here."
"The other possibility is that they are in the demon cultivator's lair, and Leng Nuan is waiting for me to fall into their trap." Gu Zhifei said, looking at Xing Mu, "I prefer the latter."
Because if it was the former, Guang Shubai's sound transmission paper crane would not fly to the Seven Star Gate. If Leng Nuan could control Guang Shubai's sound transmission paper crane, what was the difference between that and controlling Guang Shubai? "Daoyou, you are too concerned."
Xing Mu obviously disagreed with Gu Zhifei's statement: "You only thought that the thousand paper cranes were sent from your friend, but you didn't think about what if they were intercepted by someone else? You know, in the vast world of immortal cultivation, it is very difficult to find two beginner cultivators, a man and a woman, but it is much easier to intercept a thousand paper cranes that can transmit sound in front of the Seven Star Gate."
What he said made sense, but Gu Zhifei couldn't bet on this possibility.
After thinking about it, Gu Zhifei came up with an idea.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"According to what you said, if Leng Nuan really didn't catch them, then what she wants to do most now is to make the fake one real."
Xingmu's ominous premonition came back to him again.
"I have an idea." Gu Zhifei leaned over and whispered in Xing Mu's ear.
Xing Mu's face changed drastically and he took two steps back: "No, I have the fire attribute. It's fine if I'm a snake, but you actually want me to pretend to be someone else!"
Gu Zhifei knew Xing Mu's weakness and said calmly, "You don't have to help me. I will then display your portrait in front of all the caravans until everyone knows you."
If the caravan recognized his face, how could he live a peaceful life in the future?
Faced with the choice between peace of mind and personal dignity, Xing Mu decisively chose the former.
In Fu County, 20 kilometers away from Fuyaoya, a man and a woman attracted attention.
The 'female cultivator' had a strong demonic aura, which was intertwined with the human aura and was very disharmonious. The 'male cultivator' tied up his long hair with a grape vine and followed behind the 'female cultivator'.
The 'female cultivator' had low strength, but she had an air of pride that did not match her strength. She walked with her head held high and asked the 'male cultivator' who was following behind her: "Gu Zhifei! How long do I have to walk like this? No? Does your friend really walk like this? My neck hurts so much!"
"She doesn't walk like that." Gu Zhifei tried to hold back his laughter. "But aren't we here to attract attention? I'm sorry to bother you for a moment."
Xingmu felt that this was more than just a slight grievance. He had been climbing all day with his neck held high and he wasn't this tired!
The two of them went to the shops and bought a lot of clothes, and then went to the best restaurant.
The moment his butt hit the stool, Xingmu felt like he was alive again.
He ate everything in swift and wiped his mouth gracefully when he realized that everyone was looking at him.
That's right, the girl doesn't act like a girl. Xing Mu didn't care about these looks, after all, it wasn't his face that was embarrassed.
Gu Zhifei didn't care about these either. She just saw a wisp of black gas escaping from the window and going away into the distance.
Sure enough, someone tipped off.
Gu Zhifei's solemn promise gradually faded as he heard no news from him day after day.
She began to fidget.
Logically speaking, Leng Nuan or the people behind her should have caught up with her long ago, but there is no news now. Could something have happened? No, it's impossible! I must have made a mistake somewhere.
Gu Zhifei thought about it for a long time and thought of a possibility. His heart skipped a beat.
She stood up suddenly, scaring Xingmu.
"Her target was never me from the beginning to the end!" Gu Zhifei gritted his teeth, "Her target was Hua Wuya, I was careless!"
Leng Nuan used a tactic of feinting to the east and attacking in the west to separate Gu Zhifei and Hua Wuya. Gu Zhifei thought that she would attack him who was in a weak position, but he didn't know that Leng Nuan wanted to get rid of Hua Wuya first.
That's right, Hua Wuya had come to kill her after all, how could she easily swallow this breath? Gu Zhifei did not suppress his cultivation anymore, took out the Tianji disk, and flew straight to the ghost town.
She didn't care whether the Tianji Disk would be exposed in front of Xing Mu. The most urgent thing was that she had to go back to save people!
Eager to save people, Gu Zhifei arrived at the ghost town in less than a day, just in time to witness a shocking battle.
The sky was dyed red with blood, Hua Wuya was facing the three elders of the Bai family alone, and below him were the shouts of the monks rushing together.
It turns out that the battles between monks are not much different from those between mortals, with the same flying blood and flesh, and the same brutality and cruelty.
In mid-air, Hua Wuya spat out a mouthful of blood foam and laughed loudly:
"Are you the senior elders of the Bai family? A bunch of rubbish! To be honest, you are not as strong as that brat of the Bai family. Where is he? Call him out!"
Behind Gu Zhifei, Xing Mu was excited: "Guicheng and the Bai family are fighting? Interesting! Very interesting!"
Gu Zhifei didn't find it interesting.
She saw a huge eye slowly opening beside Hua Wuya, evil and killing were pouring out, and black air was surrounding everyone.
Gu Zhifei didn't care about anything else. He mobilized his spiritual power and used all his strength to shout, "Wu Ya! Run!"
Hua Wuya didn't expect to hear Gu Zhifei's voice here. Just as he was happy, he heard the word "run".
Out of trust in Gu Zhifei, she didn't think about anything, just raised her leg and stepped back, taking a hundred feet in one step.
At the moment she moved, a blood eye bloomed where she was before. The elders who were affected did not have time to make a sound before they were annihilated in the blood eye.
The three elders who were close to the Nascent Soul stage were all killed in such an encounter!
What kind of evil power is that? What kind of terrifying power is that!
Hua Wuya was still frightened. If Gu Zhifei had not reminded her in time, she would have died here today.
"flesh!"
A desolate and hoarse voice rang out in the air, and no living creatures survived wherever it reached. Those who ran fast escaped from the battle circle, while those who ran slowly were trampled underfoot and turned into minced meat to commemorate the bloody eye.
Gu Zhifei and Xing Mu were separated by the crowd and could only run forward on their own. She had not run far when someone grabbed her collar and rushed to the front of the team.
"Why are you here?" Hua Wuya's face was covered in blood and his clothes were torn in several places.
"We'll talk about this later. Wuya, which Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators do you know?" Gu Zhifei asked her.
