Chapter 340 Yan Jue's Sister
Gu Zhifei wanted to listen more, but the person inside stopped talking.
They pushed the door as if they were going to go out, and Gu Zhifei followed them out.
Seeing them leave one by one, Gu Zhifei also left quietly, and before leaving, he also pulled away the nightmare beast tied to the door.
The nightmare beast was tied to the door near the kitchen, and someone inside was sharpening a knife.
The demon cultivators did not know how to cherish such a good nightmare beast, and they actually wanted to kill and eat it.
Since they don't know how to cherish, Gu Zhifei will cherish it on their behalf.
She took the Nightmare Beast with her, and used a formation to disguise a giant eight-clawed spider that she had collected from the Quicksand Desert as a Nightmare Beast, and left it in its place.
Demonic practitioners generally do not practice formations as a secondary skill. I hope that they can finally taste the difference between nightmare beast meat and spider meat!
After completing a series of aftermath, Gu Zhifei returned to his residence with a full load.
She looked around but didn't see Ling, so she went straight to the kitchen, and sure enough, she saw Ling sitting next to the cook.
The cook was rubbing his head and telling him a story.
Gu Zhifei inexplicably felt that this moment was somewhat warm, so she did not say anything to disturb them. However, when the cook saw her coming, she stopped talking, took a sweet potato out of the stove and handed it to her.
Gu Zhifei thanked him, took the sweet potato, and ate it in two or three bites, then took the nightmare beast out of the storage bag.
She originally felt that Ling was a little lonely, and wanted to give him this nightmare beast as a companion. However, after the nightmare beast came out, its four legs were trembling, and it looked extremely scared.
In desperation, she had to put the nightmare beast away:
"Ling, have you become stronger recently? This nightmare beast is like a mouse seeing a cat when it sees you."
Ling was also a little confused: "Really? But I haven't seen any monsters in these times."
He didn't continue, after all, there was a cook here.
Gu Zhifei also felt that something was not right. Ling probably had a special physique, and wherever he went, there would be a group of monsters watching him. It had never happened before that there were no monsters for several days.
After thinking about it, Gu Zhifei remembered that in the past few days, let alone monsters, she hadn't even seen an ant on the ground.
Could it be that the monsters in the ghost town also have to act with their tails down?
Gu Zhifei was still puzzled.
She said goodbye to Ling and the cook, and after returning to the room, she asked Ling, "Have you noticed anything wrong these days?"
Ling should be more sensitive than himself in perceiving matters concerning monsters.
Ling shook his head to indicate that there was nothing wrong.
At least he has the title of Little Demon King. If he doesn't know it, I think others will be even less clear about it.
Of course, maybe I was just overthinking it, Gu Zhifei comforted himself.
At night, after Ling fell asleep, Gu Zhifei contacted Hua Wuya through the water mirror technique and asked her if she knew any famous cultivator who had given birth to a child recently.
Gu Zhifei recalled what he had overheard and felt that the other party should be at least close to the Nascent Soul stage.
Since Hua Wuya has nothing to do with having children, it means there is a third-party force in the ghost town.
Gu Zhifei originally thought that Hua Wuya would know some information, but unexpectedly the latter was hesitant and couldn't explain anything.
Gu Zhifei felt more and more that something was wrong: "Wuya, what happened to you?"
The latter was silent for a while before saying, "Zhi Fei, I still advise you to leave here. Because... I no longer have the ability to protect you."
Gu Zhifei was stunned. He didn't expect to receive such an answer.
She remembered that when she saw Hua Wuya, he seemed to be full of vigor and ambition all the time. How could she say that she had no ability? What happened inside the ghost town? She put a protective array on the sleeping Ling and put him directly into the storage bag. Gu Zhifei disappeared on the spot.
In an instant, she arrived outside the Wuxiang Tower, and after confirming that it was Hua Wuya's aura inside, she rushed in directly.
But when she actually opened the door, she hesitated.
She saw a person sitting by the window under the moonlight, moving a water mirror in his hand, but his hair was full of silver.
Hua Wuya's black hair was very beautiful, like a waterfall, and Gu Zhifei often sighed in admiration when he saw it.
The moment he saw the old figure, Gu Zhifei didn't even know whether he should go in.
Maybe she didn't want him to see her.
"Come in."
Sensing Gu Zhifei's hesitation, the white-haired man inside made an old voice.
She coughed twice and turned to look at Gu Zhifei.
Except for her eyes which were still bright, Gu Zhifei felt a little sad when he looked at her face which looked like dry tree bark.
Gu Zhifei couldn't help but complain, "How come you've been away for just over a year and you've become like this?"
Hua Wuya looked at her and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I fell into the trap of a demon cultivator and lost some vitality, but it's not a big deal."
Gu Zhifei had never heard anyone talk about dying in such a refreshing and refined way.
Hua Wuya twirled her snow-white hair and looked at Gu Zhifei with a wrinkled face: "You said they are looking for a woman who has given birth?"
Gu Zhifei couldn't discuss this matter in this atmosphere.
She turned her head and said, "Wuya, don't change the subject at this time."
Seeing Hua Wuya's old face made her unable to think. She suddenly remembered that Hua Wuya was actually more than 200 years old.
The life of a monk is very long, so long that she forgot for a moment that monks also have birth, aging, sickness and death, it’s just that their birth, aging, sickness and death come later than others.
The reason why immortal cultivators become more and more indifferent is that the longer they live, the fewer people there are around them, until the number drops to zero.
Gu Zhifei was lost in thought, and only looked up when she heard Hua Wuya calling her.
Hua Wuya laughed: "I look like this? Are you scared to death?"
This is both a joke and a test.
Gu Zhifei lowered his eyes and avoided answering: "It is said that cultivating immortals is to fight against heaven. If we don't fight, how can we fight against heaven for a longer life?"
There was no beginning or end to her words, and Hua Wuya didn't understand what she meant for a moment, so he just hummed lightly.
No matter what Gu Zhifei did, she agreed.
Gu Zhifei said: "I have just learned a new formation, one of which is called Reversing the Universe. It is very difficult, and I am not sure if I can succeed. If you fail, you may die immediately."
"Okay." Hua Wuya said gently.
Although this was a matter of life and death, she did not ask Gu Zhifei any further questions and just replied with a faint "OK".
Gu Zhifei lowered his head, tears in his eyes.
Reversing the Universe is the eighth-ranked formation in the Wuyan Formation Book. The difficulty of this formation is more than one level higher than the Tracing Origin Formation.
According to the book, this formation can reverse everything you can imagine, including cultivation and vitality.
Gu Zhifei wants to find the evil cultivator who stole Hua Wuya's life, and then bring her life back.
Hua Wuya did not object.
But this matter is a bit complicated, and she needs to think carefully and make long-term plans.
Compared to when Gu Zhifei first came in, the low pressure around Hua Wuya was much lighter, probably because he knew he still had a chance of survival, which rekindled his fighting spirit and hope.
While drawing the map, she casually said to Gu Zhifei: "The reason why I fell into that woman's trap is because she is somewhat similar to you."
When Gu Zhifei heard this, he felt the blood rushing up.
She turned around and asked Hua Wuya: "What did you say?"
Hua Wuya said: "The cultivation level of that female demon cultivator was not much different from mine, but for a moment I thought she looked a lot like you, so I accidentally fell into her trap."
Gu Zhifei felt disappointed.
She conjured up the image of Sister Yan Jue that she had seen before from her memory and asked Hua Wuya, "Does she look like her?"
Hua Wuya only took a glance and nodded: "It's her."
The other half of Gu Zhifei's heart also turned cold.
This is actually a real person, not one created by the Nightmare Beast itself.
So was the illusion real or fake? Or did Sister Yanjue learn something from this incident? Gu Zhifei's mind became more and more confused, and he finally decided to solve all the problems in front of him first.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The first thing is to find the woman they mentioned who had just given birth.
The second thing is to change Hua Wuya’s vitality.
The woman can be left to Hua Wuya's men, but in order to turn the tide, Yan Jue's sister must be found first.
Naturally, Gu Zhifei couldn't get any news from her, so this matter had to be left to Hua Wuya.
Hua Wuya's men were very efficient and they found out Sister Yanjue's whereabouts in just two hours.
She had left the ghost town the day before and went to the Demon Mountain.
It's Demon Mountain again.
This matter is indeed closely related to Wuming and Lengnuan.
Gu Zhifei had a rough idea in his mind and discussed with Hua Wuya: "Since she is not in the city now, the best time to snipe her is when she comes back."
When a person just reaches the end of the journey, that is when the person is most relaxed. At that time, the success rate of luring her into the formation is the highest.
Hua Wuya agreed: "I will naturally do my best to help Sister."
Gu Zhifei nodded, reviewed the entire process and possible accidents with Hua Wuya, and then prepared to get up and leave.
Just at this moment, there was a lot of noise in the storage bag.
Gu Zhifei then remembered that she had put Ling into the storage bag. Now it was almost dawn and this guy might have already woken up.
With a thought, he poured the feather out of the storage bag. The guy rolled over on the spot, hugging the little beast with a red face.
The storage bag was a bit stuffy, and he felt like he was about to die of the heat, which was why he made such a big noise.
"Nightmare beast?" Hua Wuya couldn't help but say as he stared at the little beast in Ling's arms.
Ling hugged the little beast tightly with caution and glared at Hua Wuya: "What? Old woman!"
Gu Zhifei didn't have time to blame the naughty boy for his disrespect. She came up with a good idea: "Maybe we can use this nightmare beast to deal with the female demon cultivator."
Hua Wuya knew what she was thinking, but he felt a little embarrassed: "I don't have any talent in beast control."
Taming beasts is expensive, and its actual use is not very high, so ordinary families rarely support beast tamers.
Besides, Hua Wuya herself is an expert at taming beasts, although the ones she tames are all poisonous snakes.
"That's fine. We have it here."
As he spoke, Gu Zhifei looked at Ling.
The latter looked confused. And Hua Wuya was completely bewildered.
One child, ok?
Gu Zhifei then remembered that he had not yet revealed Ling's identity.
She briefly introduced Ling, and Hua Wuya became more interested in him.
She is now lacking in vitality, but not in cultivation; she is still a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator.
This little guy's own strength is very low, but relying on the talent of his own bloodline, he made it impossible for Hua Wuya to realize that he was a monster.
She circled around Ling, making the latter's scalp tingle: "No, I'm saying, you stinky old woman, why are you looking at me? If you look at me again, I won't even look at you once."
To prove this, Ling raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"Are all the people in the Gongyu clan so hypocritical?" Hua Wuya turned to ask Gu Zhifei with interest, pointing at Ling's eyeball hidden between his fingers.
"Maybe he is the only one." Gu Zhifei smoothed the fur of the Nightmare Beast and surprisingly found that the Nightmare Beast stopped shaking.
"You got to know him very quickly."
It seems that Ling has become familiar with this nightmare beast, which will be more conducive to the implementation of their plan.
"Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind." Hua Wuya said, "Zhi Fei, it's not too late for you to regret now."
Being dragged into the battle between the demon cultivators, it is not so easy to escape. Hua Wuya is fighting for her own territory, so what is Gu Zhifei fighting for?
Hua Wuya no longer believed in that bullshit about fighting for justice.
"What's there to regret?" Gu Zhifei said nonchalantly, "Haven't you heard? That female demon cultivator has gone to the Demon Mountain. I've been fighting her leader to the death for a long time. Do you think I care about having a few more minions?"
Hua Wuya had also heard about Gu Zhifei's previous affairs, and seeing that Gu Zhifei was determined to do so, he did not dwell on it anymore.
Anyway, she owed Gu Zhifei countless debts, and Gu Zhifei also owed her a lot. Besides, they were already so familiar with each other, so what was there to talk about?
Thinking of this, Hua Wuya said: "Then I would like to thank you very much."
Gu Zhifei teased her for a few words before taking Ling to the seventh floor of Wunian Tower.
This place has not been used to detain people for a long time. Hua Wuya ordered people to renovate it and said that Gu Zhifei should live on this floor whenever he comes.
The reason why she was not arranged to live on the eighth floor was because there were too many foolish people who tried to assassinate Hua Wuya.
Although Hua Wuya is not afraid of them, it is impossible for him to know everything.
If Gu Zhifei lived on the eighth floor, she might die one day.
After staying for a few days, the female demon cultivator who took Hua Wuya's life appeared under everyone's eyes.
As Gu Zhifei thought, the first place she planned to return to was Hehuan Pavilion. It had nothing to do with romance, but because Hehuan Pavilion was their base.
He had imagined this many times in his mind before, but when he actually saw her, Gu Zhifei felt even more surprised.
She looked exactly like the woman she had seen in the nightmare beast. It seemed that Yan Jue really had a sister who was living outside.
My guesses are probably pretty close to the truth.
Sister Yanjue walked into the Hehuan Pavilion, intending to lie down and rest for a while, but she felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
Experts always have an inexplicable premonition of victory or defeat. As soon as Sister Yanjue entered the room, she felt a strong murderous intent.
"Not good." Sister Yanjue reacted and wanted to retreat immediately.
