Chapter 328 Crystal Ball
Gu Zhifei's question was abrupt, but Hua Wuya didn't think too much and answered her directly: "Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator? I haven't heard of it."
Could it be a new demon that was just released?
Gu Zhifei turned around to ask Xing Mu, but found that the latter had disappeared. However, Gu Zhifei was not worried about his safety.
The demon cultivator immediately withdrew his attack after the first strike and did not make any other moves, and the people who were fleeing also stopped.
It seemed that the demon cultivator only had the strength to attack once, and did not continue to attack. The red glow in the sky also quickly faded away, as if nothing had happened.
If the Bai family had not lost three elders.
The Bai family suffered the most in this battle. The head of the Bai family looked very unhappy, and for a moment he could not care about continuing the battle with Hua Wuya, and left in a hurry with the remaining cultivators.
After Hua Wuya pointed out the people, he took Gu Zhifei back to Wunian Tower, and Gu Zhifei also found Xing Mu.
The latter looked somewhat disheveled, with his hair torn apart and even his clothes belt cut by some damn guy's magical weapon.
Gu Zhifei stood aside and gloated.
"You run really fast." Xing Mu said unhappily, "Aren't you afraid that I'll fall behind and become fertilizer?"
Gu Zhifei raised his eyebrows: "Who said before that you can just outrun me? This is a tit-for-tat."
Xing Mu was choked by this and was speechless immediately.
So Gu Zhifei asked him if he knew the identity of this demon cultivator. After all, Xing Mu was known as a know-it-all, which made sense.
He should know some news more or less.
Xing Mu certainly knew, and he even knew more than Gu Zhifei imagined:
"This demon cultivator is called Wuming."
Xing Mu's first words left Gu Zhifei stunned.
She had heard of this name when she absorbed the scroll given to her by Master Qingming. Strictly speaking, Wuming could be considered her great-grandmaster.
"And then?" Seeing that Xing Mu didn't speak for a long time after saying this, Gu Zhifei couldn't help but ask.
Who knew that Xing Mu stopped talking and spread his hands in front of Gu Zhifei: "If you want to know what happens next, please pay 500 spirit stones."
Gu Zhifei had become accustomed to his style of doing things by now, and had no choice but to take out her storage bag. Hua Wuya, who was busy with the government affairs of the ghost town, held her shoulder.
Watching Hua Wuya throwing the falling dagger, Xing Mu swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly: "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
Xing Mu continued, "Three hundred years ago, Wuming was a well-known upright cultivator. Unfortunately, he developed a demon in his heart and became a demon leader. He slaughtered tens of thousands of people and was finally sealed in Xunmo Mountain."
Gu Zhifei nodded, feeling that something was wrong. She thought about it carefully and finally remembered that the skeleton man she met when she first came to this world was Wuming? But if the demon cultivator was Wuming? Then who was the skeleton man? "How many heroes died and were injured in that war?" Xing Mu sighed, "Even so, everyone just sealed Wuming in the Demon-Seeking Mountain and did not kill him completely. Now it seems that in just three hundred years, he will be born again!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, there will be another bloody storm.
Gu Zhifei asked his question in a roundabout way: "That demon cultivator is Wuming? But I heard that his descendants buried his body."
This was not a lie. Although Gu Zhifei had left a few neat teeth marks on his great master, at least he had returned to dust and was buried in peace, which could barely be considered a burial.
"It's just a corpse. It's not important anymore." Xing Mu said, "People only know that demon cultivators kill people, but they don't know that demon cultivators have another trick: to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of righteousness."
A demon cultivator who is too powerful will draw the wrath of Heaven, and the heavenly calamity that comes down will also be equally destructive.
The only way for a demon cultivator to successfully form a baby is to give up his own body. The corpse that Gu Zhifei saw was nothing more than the body that Wuming gave up.
I see.
Gu Zhifei understood what was going on and nodded in praise.
After being praised by Gu Zhifei, Xing Mu was very proud and couldn't help showing off: "The last move of the magic cultivator is to kill himself. He completely abandons his humanity and becomes a monster. I have heard rumors that only magic cultivators and ruthless cultivators can eventually achieve the great way, but what's the point of living without yourself?"
Hua Wuya couldn't bear to see Xing Mu's appearance of spreading his wings, and sarcastically said to him: "Then it's like you, ending your 200-year lifespan as soon as possible and becoming a snake soup is the right path."
Xing Mu paused, feeling that she was choking him, and asked back: "Like you, living alone is happy?"
The fact that Hua Wuya is a lonely widower in Ghost Town is recognized by the entire cultivation world, but Xing Mu is really slow in updating information.
"I have a sister."
Xing Mu only felt thunder rumbling above his head.
Hua Wuya has a sister? How come he doesn't know? When did this happen? Could it be that she just said it casually to fool him? Hua Wuya pointed a finger at Gu Zhifei: "She is sitting there, you can ask her if she is."
Xing Mu looked at Gu Zhifei as if he had seen a ghost.
Gu Zhifei had no choice but to explain: "It's a long story, a long story."
Seeing Gu Zhifei admit it, Xing Mu felt that he was going to die. Obviously, this little kid looked young and his cultivation was lower than his, so how could he have a Nascent Soul sister? After thinking it over, Xing Mu made a brave decision. He turned to Hua Wuya and asked, "Do you still need a brother? I volunteer..."
"roll!"
Xing Mu was thrown out of the door. Looking at the door that was slammed shut, Xing Mu decided that he should learn from Gu Zhifei how to become related to a Yuanying cultivator.
Inside, Hua Wuya discovered that Gu Zhifei's mood had not been good since Xing Mu talked about the past.
Now that Xing Mu was driven away by her, Gu Zhifei's face visibly fell.
Hua Wuya decided not to beat around the bush and asked her directly: "What is the connection between Wuming and you?"
Gu Zhifei did not hide it: "He is my great-grandmaster. I don't know what it will be like when I meet him in the future."
Would he consider himself his junior? Or would he kill himself?
What is his relationship with Leng Nuan? Gu Zhifei had a lot of questions in his mind but no answers.
"He is very strong. With my current strength, I am afraid I won't be able to defeat him. And he really doesn't have any human consciousness anymore." Hua Wuya said, "He won't acknowledge you as his disciple, so you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
Gu Zhifei was silent for a while, then said, "Actually, I know why Wuming became a demon, and I want to go back to Lingshan."
After taking care of Leng Nuan in the Wuyan Tomb, she was anxious to return to the sect, so she simply sealed the tomb again.
She had a feeling that she'd better go to the Tomb of the Silent One before meeting Wuming.
Regardless of anything else, she had to obtain the inheritance in the tomb in order to protect herself in the chaotic times to come.
Hua Wuya did not object: "Ghost City suffered heavy losses this time. I want to stay and take charge of the situation. By the way, I will keep an eye on Xing Mu, the troublemaker."
She was not worried about Gu Zhifei going to Lingshan alone. Lingshan had special restrictions, and she had not been able to find the location of Lingshan before. If there was any place that was safe now, Lingshan must be one of them.
Gu Zhifei had the same idea.
She was just about to say goodbye to Hua Wuya when Fa Li rushed in and shouted, "City Lord, something bad has happened!"
Hua Wuya glanced at him and told him not to panic: "What's the matter?"
Fa Li: "Ghost eyes appeared in various places at the same time, and the entire cultivation world is in chaos!"
This was something Gu Zhifei and others had never expected.
At the same time, Gu Zhifei also received a message. The content was very short, with only two words:
Come back soon!
It’s a message from Senior Sister Li Xiaobai.
I'm afraid that Qixingmen has also encountered some changes. Gu Zhifei no longer wants to go back to Lingshan first, and decides to rush back to Qixingmen. However, Hua Wuya is worried and orders Shen Xu to escort Gu Zhifei back.
During the special period, Gu Zhifei did not refuse Hua Wuya's kindness, and returned with Yu Qi and Shen Xu.
Shen Xu was dressed in red and looked like a lively person, but when he actually spoke to him for a few more words, Gu Zhifei felt very cold.
This guy and Fali have completely different personalities. In comparison, Fali is easier to get along with, even though he is sometimes more noisy.
After sending Gu Zhifei to the gate of Qixingmen, Shenxu said as if carrying out a mission, "Be careful," and quickly left the place, not wanting to stay any longer.
Gu Zhifei also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, showed his disciple card, and returned to the Seven Stars Gate.
Before she reached Xuejing Mountain, she smelled a scent of blood.
Looking along the road, all they could see were Seven Star Sect disciples carrying the wounded. They were not helping their own disciples, but civilians and independent cultivators in coarse cloth.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Zhifei breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that the blood eye would appear inside the Seven Stars Gate and cause huge losses to the Seven Stars Gate. If that was the case, she had to consider the possibility that she was a jinx.
On Xuejing Mountain, the trees are lush and green. Under a tree, Li Xiaobai is walking around the tree anxiously with his hands behind his back, while Bai Mengmeng is leaning on the stone table and sighing.
As soon as Gu Zhifei appeared, they jumped up immediately as if the brakes had been pulled.
From a distance, Li Xiaobai asked, "Zhifei! Did you get into trouble this time when you went out?"
Gu Zhifei thinks not.
But Li Xiaobai felt that she had: "You'd better go to the Lundao Hall as soon as possible. The headmaster and the others are already waiting."
If Gu Zhifei still can't see the seriousness of the situation, he would have lived all these years in vain.
Without saying anything, she went straight to the Discussion Hall.
The Discussion Hall is where the Seven Stars Sect discusses important events. It is not far from the Sect Leader’s residence and is rarely open.
Most disciples are not allowed to approach here, but Gu Zhifei is the first to come here.
There are two large pillars at the entrance, which immediately give people a sense of oppression. The gatekeeper beasts standing on both sides of the door also add to the solemnity.
Gu Zhifei showed his disciple card, and the gate-guarding spirit beast let him in. He walked along the corridor inside, and the uneasiness in his heart strangely decreased.
There is a strong water element here, which has a calming effect on the mind. If Gu Zhifei was not uneasy about what happened later, he would have wanted to stop and feel the breath of the water element here.
She walked forward and opened a door as instructed by the headmaster.
She originally thought that she would see Tiantong Daozun and a few others including the Sect Leader, but she did not expect that there were more than a dozen people standing densely here.
And among these people, there are some familiar faces.
The head of Kunlun smiled and nodded slightly at her as a greeting, but Gu Zhifei didn't want to pay attention to him.
So she followed her own temper, just nodded slightly as a greeting, and no longer looked at him.
The head of Kunlun knew that she was holding a grudge and touched his nose awkwardly.
"Master?" Gu Zhifei stood next to Tiantong Daozun, still not understanding what was going on.
Tiantong Daozun shook his head without further explanation, and motioned for Gu Zhifei to look at it himself.
There is a huge sand table in the middle of the room, with many locations marked in the center. There is a water mirror map at the key place where the flag is planted, and the map records what happened in the past.
Gu Zhifei casually looked inside a water mirror and saw a huge blood eye standing upright in the air.
It is similar to the one that appeared in the ghost town, but not as imposing.
After she looked at the water mirror, an old man with a strong aura beside her stroked his snow-white beard and asked Gu Zhifei: "What did you see?"
The old man's hair and beard were all white, and he looked very old. In the world of immortal cultivation, if one was not nearing the end of his life or encountered a bottleneck, few people would fail to maintain their appearance. However, some practitioners of the Seven Stars Sect were exceptions.
What they are spying on is the way of heaven, which is detrimental to their lifespan. The stronger the divination ability of a cultivator is, the older they appear.
The old man that Gu Zhifei saw before him could probably be considered the founder of the Seven Stars Sect.
"I saw a bloody eye." Gu Zhifei answered honestly and did not lie.
She had a feeling that even if she was lying, the person in front of her would be able to see through it at a glance.
The old man nodded, very satisfied with Gu Zhifei's answer, but the others gasped.
Listening to their whispers, Gu Zhifei realized that everyone present was a big shot from various parties.
The eight major sects and four major families have all sent people here. It can be said that if the ghost eye appears here, it can destroy most of the cultivation world.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he can win.
The old man didn't pay attention to the others, but took out a crystal ball from his storage bag and said to Gu Zhifei kindly:
"Put your hands up, kid."
Gu Zhifei didn't understand why.
She slowly raised her hand and placed it on the crystal ball. What appeared before her eyes was the magic dice in her body.
Countless images flashed through her mind.
The Divine Dice was what Wuming wanted to refine to save Wuyan. Unfortunately, the latter died before he could see the light of day.
In order to cultivate the Chaos Five Spirit Lotus in the divine dice, Wuming slaughtered tens of thousands of cultivators, committed unforgivable sins, committed murder, and even turned into a demon and died a martyr, just to create such a divine dice.
Even so, he was unable to change his fate and save the people he wanted to save.
Before he knew it, Gu Zhifei was in tears.
Others didn't know what Gu Zhifei was feeling at the moment. They only saw the crystal ball shining brightly, lighting up the whole room! The Buddhist elder chanted a few Buddhist verses, and a rare smile appeared on his face, which was neither happy nor sad.
The eyes of others were also focused on Gu Zhifei, with a hint of anticipation.
Only Elder Kunlun was a little disappointed, because the last person who could light up the crystal ball was Leng Nuan.
He looked at Gu Zhifei, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.
"My friend."
Gu Zhifei was awakened by the old man, but she was still a little confused. She tilted her head and waited for the old man to speak.
