Chapter 330: Death of Ying Yan
The moment he saw the phoenix wings, Gu Zhifei's heart was already pounding.
But if I show it too obviously, Ying Yan might regret it.
Gu Zhifei rolled his eyes, as if looking down on Ying Yan's spiritual plant, and ran away.
Ying Yan was indeed anxious. She stood at the back and shouted, "Don't underestimate this red flame flower. It can refine the impurities in the body of a fire-attributed cultivator. Wait a minute!"
Gu Zhifei stopped as she was told. She was afraid that if she didn't pay attention to Ying Yan, she would really leave. It would not be easy for her to find another phoenix wing with such good appearance.
Seeing Gu Zhifei stop, Ying Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Gu Zhifei seriously and said, "I want to have a serious fight with you."
She could see that Gu Zhifei's cultivation had improved again this time, but she was not convinced and thought that Gu Zhifei might have taken drugs to improve her own cultivation.
Otherwise, how could she have been promoted again and again in such a short period of time? Such a cultivation level would be vulnerable in a real battle.
With this thought in mind, and the fact that Gu Zhifei's cultivation was not much different from hers, Ying Yan did not think she would lose, even though she had already lost once before.
Gu Zhifei saw through her thoughts at a glance and felt quite disdainful. However, he suppressed his anger from being plotted against by Ying Yan and decided to teach her a lesson.
She tilted her head and smiled: "Of course you can fight, but my training ground is a little special. Are you sure you want to join me?"
special?
At first, Ying Yan didn't take Gu Zhifei's words about being special to heart, until she stood at the door of Gu Zhifei's special training room. Looking at the five-attribute training puppets crowded inside, Ying Yan began to regret it.
Gu Zhifei did not give her a chance to regret: "I have been training here these days. These puppets are basically close to the foundation-building level in terms of cultivation and physique. You should not be afraid, right?"
"Of course not!" Ying Yan had just said this when she wanted to bite off her own tongue.
She had been to the martial arts field many times and was quite familiar with the puppets here.
The puppets here generally have only one attribute, which is to release spells of the corresponding level. Their joints are not flexible and their movements are not fast, but they are more durable than ordinary monks. Under the same cultivation level, it is difficult to defeat these puppets without attribute suppression.
According to Gu Zhifei, the puppets here have five attributes, which makes them more difficult to deal with.
"No, what does our fighting have to do with these puppets?" Ying Yan suddenly discovered a blind spot.
The one she wanted to fight was Gu Zhifei. Could it be that Gu Zhifei was planning to escape from the battlefield? "Of course it matters." Gu Zhifei smiled, "It's just to increase the difficulty. Don't you dare?"
Using provocation to deal with Ying Yan was always effective. Ying Yan agreed without even thinking about it.
Actually, Ying Yan is more like a spoiled kid.
However, if a naughty child makes a mistake, he will still be beaten.
Gu Zhifei had been fighting puppets for the past few days and was a little bored. Now she even missed fighting with humans. She walked lightly into the room.
Ying Yan was unwilling to be left behind and entered the house in an instant.
Her followers didn't dare to go forward, so they just watched from outside, not daring to make a sound.
Standing on the arm of an earth-type puppet, Gu Zhifei looked down at Ying Yan.
This feeling of being looked down upon made Ying Yan very unhappy. Without thinking too much, she also jumped onto the arm of a puppet. Then, she was electrocuted and almost suffocated.
Gu Zhifei was plotting against her! There was actually a puppet with thunder attributes here! Ying Yan was shaking like a sieve, and Gu Zhifei watched with great interest, commenting on it: "Your defense is not that good, how come you are like this before the puppet even made a move?"
Ying Yan couldn't stand hearing people say she couldn't do it. She looked at Gu Zhifei and said with gritted teeth, "You can do it, can you fall on this puppet?"
Gu Zhifei's eyebrows moved slightly, and he lightly tapped his toes and landed on the place where Ying Yan had landed before.
She was unharmed.
Ying Yan originally thought that she could achieve this level if she used spiritual power to isolate herself, but she saw that Gu Zhifei had not even used his spiritual power yet.
How could this be?
Can she withstand the damage from the thunder puppet of the foundation-building cultivator with her physical body alone?
If Gu Zhifei could hear what Ying Yan was thinking, he would probably tell her - this is the power of money.
As the first merchant in the fairy world, the owner of the Fairy Weaving Pavilion got the first-hand information faster than anyone else. After she knew that the major sects and families had chosen Gu Zhifei as their "sword", she immediately sent a message to Gu Zhifei, saying that she was willing to make a "scabbard" for him free of charge.
The pair of soft-soled cloud boots on Gu Zhifei's feet came from Xianzhige.
This pair of boots is very light, fireproof and lightning-resistant, making it a great choice for melee combat. After being electrocuted for two consecutive days, Gu Zhifei chose to wear this pair of shoes to fight the puppets.
From then on, she was never electrocuted and turned into a bee again.
After Ying Yan came to her senses, she immediately mobilized her spiritual power to fight Gu Zhifei. However, as she was of the gold attribute, it was extremely difficult for her to fight in this room full of lightning attribute puppets.
Every time she used her golden body, the sinister Gu Zhifei would bring lightning to her body. It always happened like this, causing her great pain.
By the time her followers came out to greet her, Ying Yan had been electrocuted into charcoal.
She looked naive on the outside but naive on the inside and screamed loudly when she saw her little friend.
Gu Zhifei was sensible and knew that Ying Yan didn't have any serious physical problems, but she might have suffered a severe psychological trauma. However, she was not Ying Yan's parents, so there was no need for her to worry about her mental health. She was more concerned about the phoenix wing flower that Ying Yan had promised to give her.
Seeing that these tails were about to carry Ying Yan away, Gu Zhifei still "kindly" reminded them:
"Ying Yan, you won't forget what you said, right? Going back on your words is not a good thing to do."
Ying Yan, who was so shocked that she was smoking, was furious when she heard this, but it was a pity that now was not the time to settle the score with her. She felt depressed and threw the jade box containing the phoenix wings to Gu Zhifei, and left with the others.
After receiving the jade box and confirming that it contained indeed the phoenix wings, Gu Zhifei returned to his martial arts training room.
Just as she was about to continue practicing, a red fairy paper crane flew in from outside.
After taking the fairy paper crane, Hua Wuya's voice came from it: "Sister, your brothers and sisters have been found. They are now at sea and are safe. Don't worry."
In his haste to find Hua Wuya, and knowing that Leng Nuan had not found any trace of Guang Shubai and the others, Gu Zhifei did not have time to look for them.
Later, the Seven Stars Gate urgently summoned him back, and Gu Zhifei had even less time to look for their whereabouts.
So she entrusted this matter to Hua Wuya, hoping that she could help her find the whereabouts of Guang Shubai. Unexpectedly, she would be so fast in doing things.
Knowing that they were safe for the time being, Gu Zhifei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He simply replied to Hua Wuya and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
She was alone against ten puppets with ten different attributes. What was even more rare was that these puppets cooperated with each other and could produce an effect where one plus one was greater than two.
At the beginning, Gu Zhifei was not used to this training mode and was often beaten to the ground by the puppets. Later, after being beaten more often, he was gradually able to get up and fight against them.
Now, she can move among the ten puppets smoothly without being affected by any spiritual power.
If you want to jump from the beginner class to the intermediate level, in addition to practicing magic, you must also have a good enough physique.
Gu Zhifei was not too worried about the last item.
Before she started practicing, Yan Jue's body was already extremely strong. Now, she would not die even if she fell off a cliff. At most, she would just get some scratches.
Obviously, those plots that say falling off a cliff will give you martial arts secrets are all lies. For example, if she fell off a high slope, she would only damage her brain, not have a sudden inspiration.
Gu Zhifei spent the day thinking angrily and practicing basic moves with the puppet.
The dance performance hall of Qixingmen was indeed efficient. Gu Zhifei had only been here for two short months, but he already felt like he had made some breakthroughs.
Perhaps, as Elder Xingyin said at the end, she is a little genius with extraordinary talent!
Gu Zhifei thought so and continued to practice intensively for about three days. Suddenly, someone came to him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She was just about to continue to the martial arts arena when Elder Chen blocked her door for some reason.
"Elder Chen?"
Gu Zhifei saw the anger faintly revealed between his brows and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Could it be that Ying Yan came to him to complain, saying that he had cheated her of the Phoenix Wing Flower? Wasn't she too petty?
People who dare to take it out but can't afford to lose are simply wasting casino resources.
Gu Zhifei was just about to tell Elder Chen clearly that she had eaten the flowers and turned them into medicinal dregs, with not even a drop of water left, but she didn't know that he was talking about something else.
"You had a fight with Ying Yan some time ago?"
Gu Zhifei thought, is he coming to me to get back some face because he thinks he has been too harsh? No, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for him, a dignified Jindan-stage elder, to come to me to argue about such a problem? However, Elder Chen's next words were like a bolt from the blue exploding over Gu Zhifei's head:
"Then you know, she's dead."
Gu Zhifei didn't react to what he said. After a pause, he asked, "What did you say? What happened to her?"
"She's dead." Elder Chen's face was numb, as if the missing person was not her descendant.
Gu Zhifei never expected this to be the outcome. Ying Yan was still young and had a lot of time left, but now her life came to an abrupt end and she stayed at this moment forever.
Gu Zhifei's face was full of silence. She originally wanted to say some polite words to comfort Elder Chen, but then she remembered that Elder Chen didn't need her comfort at all - he came here to call her to task.
He suspected that Ying Yan's death had something to do with him.
Gu Zhifei felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he remembered that Elder Chen was also anxious. Ying Yan passed away suddenly, and he was also feeling very uncomfortable. After all, the two of them had depended on each other for so long, so they could be considered as a grandparent-grandchild relationship.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei's voice became gentler: "Elder Chen, I'm very sorry, but have you reported this to the Sect Master and asked him to investigate it thoroughly?"
She did not directly ask about the cause of Ying Yan's death. This was an extremely impolite way of asking and would easily irritate Elder Chen, which would not be worth the effort.
"The headmaster is still investigating, but shouldn't you know the whole story?"
Gu Zhifei said helplessly: "I did have some friction with Ying Yan that day. It was indeed my fault that we had a private fight, but she left the gate of the martial arts arena safely. Someone saw it."
"All of her good friends are dead." Elder Chen said expressionlessly, looking at Gu Zhifei.
In order to protect the secrets of the monks themselves, the martial arts hall did not install the Sky Eye inside, so Gu Zhifei had no physical evidence to prove that Ying Yan left with his companions.
All those who could testify for her are dead.
What could that person's purpose be? Why did he want to pin the blame on her?
Gu Zhifei's mind raced, but she didn't get an answer. She looked at Elder Chen and said frankly, "No matter what you think, I didn't do anything to Ying Yan.
You also know that she was the first person to poison me. When she was trying to kill me, I hadn't killed her yet. Now that this matter is almost over, why do you suspect me?"
Elder Chen did not refute what she said, but his eyes were full of distrust.
Gu Zhifei had no choice but to give up his plan to go to the martial arts field for training, and went to meet Tiantong Daozun with Elder Chen.
Tiantong Daozun had known about this matter for a long time and told Elder Chen that he would definitely give him an explanation on this matter, and only then did the latter leave Xuejing Mountain.
Gu Zhifei was still puzzled: "Master, have you seen the clues?"
Tiantong Daozun shook his head: "No."
Gu Zhifei frowned: "Then why did you agree to his request so readily?"
"Because you won't do it." Before Tiantong Daozun could answer, Li Xiaobai walked in. She sat down on a chair near Gu Zhifei, "Master and I both believe you won't do it."
Tiantong Daozun nodded slightly, indicating that he also agreed with Li Xiaobai's statement.
It is comforting to believe in someone, but Gu Zhifei cannot feel comforted now.
Including Ying Yan, this time the Seven Stars Sect had five youngsters die in one go. This had never happened before, and it caused panic within the Seven Stars Sect in a short period of time.
It is said that Ying Yan and her friends were attacked by monsters and died. Their deaths were very cruel, with their lungs hollowed out by the monsters, leaving only an empty shell.
The problem is that the bodies of Ying Yan and others were found inside the Seven Stars Gate.
If they were outside the Seven Stars Gate, they could be said to be outing or having a picnic. But they were killed quietly inside the Seven Stars Gate, so it was not just a simple monster causing trouble.
After all, the ferocious species in the Seven Stars Gate have long been domesticated into cute little creatures, and would never commit such brutal murders.
But, if it is not a ferocious beast, then it can only be a human.
Ying Yan has no grudges against anyone recently, and the only person worthy of suspicion is Gu Zhifei. It does make sense for Elder Chen to suspect himself.
