Chapter 342 Judgment Array
Gu Zhifei didn’t know what Ling did with the photo stone in the end.
But when he came back, he felt completely different from before.
He looked at Gu Zhifei, thanked her, and said, "I'm going back to the forbidden area."
Gu Zhifei was not surprised by this result, but she did not expect that this result would come from Ling's own mouth.
"Have you thought about it?" Gu Zhifei asked him.
Ling nodded, her eyes no longer filled with tears, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Gu Zhifei knew that no matter how much he advised, it would be useless. Some detours had to be taken, and some nails had to be hit. Instead of saying too much, it would be better to let him experience it himself.
"I'll go back with you after I finish dealing with things here."
Gu Zhifei said so.
But she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes again, she saw that the soul of Sister Yan Jue, who was supposed to be dead, had just dissipated.
But she was standing in front of the Demon-Seeking Mountain.
Elder Yinxing led everyone to seal Wuming again in Xunmo Mountain at the cost of burning his soul. Gu Zhifei stood at the foot of the mountain and saw only the stars in the sky.
The seven brightest stars among them form the Big Dipper formation, which are the souls of the elders and are sealed here.
Gu Zhifei stood under the power of the stars, his heart moved slightly, and he had some insights.
But before she could enter into meditation, she heard someone laughing next to her:
"I never thought that you would still be alive after all this."
The voice was so familiar that Gu Zhifei answered without turning around:
"I didn't expect you to be alive till now."
She turned around slowly and saw Leng Nuan's face full of resentment.
"But you will die today no matter what."
Leng Nuan laughed loudly, her body trembling slightly, and her hair on the side of her face scattered, causing Gu Zhifei to discover that there was a scar on the side of her face with frost patterns on it caused by extreme cold.
Gu Zhifei was very clear that this pattern was caused by Bai Yichen's sword energy.
Gu Zhifei understood something in his heart.
Leng Nuan saw her expression and became angry and said sarcastically: "Congratulations on getting what you wished for. We are broken up."
Gu Zhifei smiled: "I got what I wanted. What did I get to fulfill my wish?"
"You just want to sow discord between us so you can take advantage of the situation? I..."
Gu Zhifei stopped her from talking: "I'm sorry, I really have no interest in blind people."
Leng Nuan wanted to say something nice, but suddenly realized what Gu Zhifei meant and widened her eyes: "You are insulting me!"
Gu Zhifei sneered, "He betrayed the family's interests because of you and secretly stole the family's treasures. You used this to feed all the Bai family's Tianshangjing caravans to the demon cultivators, and also caused the Bai family to lose three or four elders above the Jindan level. What? Do you think it's natural?"
"That's what they owe me!" Leng Nuan said viciously, "Besides, none of the benefits went into your pocket? Why are you pretending to be so hypocritical!"
Gu Zhifei smiled: "But I didn't expect that Yanjue and Sister Yanjue are both yours."
If Gu Zhifei still couldn't figure it out before, what was there for her to not understand now? It was Sister Yanjue's spirit who brought her to Xunmo Mountain without anyone noticing, and the only one who instructed her to do so was Leng Nuan.
In this case, the reason why Yan Jue ended up like this was most likely because she was used by Leng Nuan. The reason why she was so eager to kill Yan Jue, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, was actually just to silence her.
Gu Zhifei suddenly felt some sympathy for the original owner of this body. To put it bluntly, she was just a pitiful, exploited demon cultivator.
"You are very smart." Leng Nuan sneered, "But what's the use? You should die now!"
Gu Zhifei didn't comment: "Then show us your skills."
She could see through Leng Nuan's strength which was only at the foundation-building stage, and after being tempered by the flesh and blood of the previous two Nascent Souls, Gu Zhifei had successfully entered the false pill stage.
She is only one step away from the golden elixir.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter what abilities Leng Nuan has, her abilities will be greatly reduced.
Leng Nuan sneered and activated some mechanism that drew down the star formation set up by Elder Yinxing in the sky. The starlight in the sky fell to the ground and formed a huge formation.
And Gu Zhifei happened to be familiar with this formation.
It is the fifth-ranked trial in the Green Book.
Leng Nuan's power was insufficient, so he brought Gu Zhifei here and tried to use the judgment formation to deal with Gu Zhifei.
The Judgment Formation is extremely lethal, and the reason it is ranked fifth is because its use is limited.
First, we need to use the purest source of power.
Elder Yinxing and others sacrificed themselves for justice, so it is not an exaggeration to describe them as the purest, so there is nothing wrong with borrowing the power of cold and warm.
Secondly, the trial is only for the guilty, and the innocent will not be harmed in any way.
This is also very reassuring.
A few hours ago, because of the battle between Gu Zhifei and the demon cultivator, more than a thousand people were affected. How could this sin not be counted as her karma? As long as it is counted as her karma, she must bear this blow of judgment! Leng Nuan stood on a high place, holding the stars in her hands, her eyes were cold, like a god descending to earth, bathing in the starlight. She pushed gently, detonating the entire formation, and shattered fireworks exploded everywhere, rushing straight towards Gu Zhifei.
Gu Zhifei seemed to be stunned, and did not dodge. Leng Nuan sneered. What's the use of dodging? She must kill Gu Zhifei this time. She is the real son of heaven. She is worthy of standing at the top of this world and looking down on everyone! The next moment, her smile froze on her face.
Because Gu Zhifei was not hurt at all. The formation didn't even cut a strand of her hair.
How is this possible? How could this be! At the same time, Gu Zhifei also raised his hand.
She actually used the same judgment formation as Leng Nuan.
Leng Nuan smiled: "You actually triggered my formation. Do you know what it is? My hands have never been stained with blood, so I am not afraid of this formation at all. Moreover, this formation is useless. You are so sinful and have killed so many people, but you are still unscathed. This formation is called the Immortal Killing Formation, but it turns out to be just like this!"
"Then let's give it a try." Gu Zhifei casually returned the Judgment Array to Leng Nuan.
In an instant, the stars shone everywhere, and Leng Nuan disappeared into the formation without even making a sound. She would never understand why a man as evil as Gu Zhifei could escape unscathed, while she was in the hell? Heaven is unfair! Heaven is blind! This was Leng Nuan's last thought.
Gu Zhifei swept the hem of her clothes to avoid any bad luck from the cold or heat. She looked at the stars in the sky and saw that they were not damaged at all, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Leng Nuan's hands were covered in blood but he was unaware of it. He deserved to be attacked by the formation he had set up.
Watching her disappear without a trace, Gu Zhifei didn't know if she was dead this time. But even if she wasn't dead, it didn't matter. If she could kill her once or twice, she could kill her three or four times.
After leaving this place, Gu Zhifei flew towards the ghost town.
Unexpectedly, I met Hua Wuya halfway.
She discovered something was wrong in the middle of the night, so she got up and saw that Gu Zhifei was indeed missing. She hurriedly chased after him but could not find any trace of him. She was using her spiritual power to track him within a radius of ten miles.
Seeing her face turn pale with fear, Gu Zhifei couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you worried about? I am no longer an ordinary person."
After saying this, Gu Zhifei's heart moved slightly, and he felt: Yes, she is no longer the weak mortal a few years ago.
In the blink of an eye, she had become a cultivator who could summon clouds and rain with a wave of her hand, and she would no longer be afraid of angering anyone or causing any trouble.
She has the ability to stand on her own and the confidence to overcome everything.
Hua Wuya didn't care about her confidence. When she saw Gu Zhifei, she frowned immediately: "Why do I smell a foul odor? Have you met that haunting woman again?"
Gu Zhifei still smiled: "You are a dog nose, yes, I did meet her. But she used my strengths to attack me, which was a mistake."
Gu Zhifei briefly told Hua Wuya about how Leng Nuan used the Judgment Array to judge her, but suffered backlash. After they laughed, Hua Wuya asked:
"So what method did you use to make her suffer?"
Gu Zhifei said: "It is a mirror formation. I don't have the strength to use a large formation like Judgment without relying on others."
The Mirror Formation is the ninth formation ranked in the Green Book, only slightly higher than the Origin-Tracing Formation, and is also a formation with little offensive power.
But its advantage is that it can return the formation intact.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Your success presupposes that you remain unscathed." Hua Wuya concluded, "If it is really as Leng Nuan said, and you are injured by the Judgment Formation, you will not be able to use this mirror move."
Gu Zhifei nodded without objection.
The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the Ghost Town Inn.
Perhaps Hua Wuya had startled Ling before, and the latter was leaning on the window, looking out with wet eyes. When he saw Gu Zhifei, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately closed the window and ran away.
"Huh?" Hua Wuya turned to look at Gu Zhifei, "Are all birds such weird species? Can they really reproduce like this?"
Gu Zhifei looked at Hua Wuya and was speechless.
Because of the recovery of vitality, Hua Wuya's skin shed a layer and pink flesh just grew out. It was not good-looking, but it was much better than the ugly appearance before.
But this doesn't mean Hua Wuya is not ugly.
Gu Zhifei hesitated for a moment before saying, "But they are beautiful."
Before Hua Wuya could figure out what Gu Zhifei wanted to say, the latter had already run away, quickly closed the door, took off his clothes and lay down in one go, refusing to see the guest.
Hua Wuya stood at the door, rubbing his hands ready to go.
Very good, when Gu Zhifei's strength is similar to hers, I will fight her sooner or later! After the dispute in the ghost town came to an end, Gu Zhifei said goodbye to Hua Wuya and left the ghost town with Ling.
In just half a day, Gu Zhifei and Ling returned to Xuejing Mountain of Qixingmen.
Senior Sister Li Xiaobai had gone into seclusion, and when they came back, Taoist Tiantong was watering the trees in the yard.
Seeing Gu Zhifei, he waved for them to come over, and after taking a look around, he was very satisfied.
"Not bad. In less than two months, you have already reached the level of a fake elixir, and this child has also reached the peak of the first level. Not bad, very good."
It's more than good.
Gu Zhifei was only at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building before he came down the mountain two months ago, but now he is almost at the golden elixir stage. Although it is related to the spiritual power infused by two Yuanying-level cultivators, it is still a gratifying breakthrough.
Before Tiantong Daozun could continue to praise him, he saw Ling, who had just reached his waist, bowed to him and said in a deep voice: "Dao Zun, please send me back to the forbidden area."
Tiantong Daozun was stunned for a moment before he agreed to his request.
Ling urged them to go, so they only arrived at the Seven Stars Gate in the morning. In the evening, Tiantong Daozun took Ling to the forbidden area.
Before entering the forbidden area, Ling suddenly turned around and asked Gu Zhifei: "Sister, if I'm really bored in there, can you come and play with me?"
Tiantong Daozun nodded to Gu Zhifei.
Gu Zhifei then agreed and said, "Okay."
She waved her hand, and a white paper crane appeared out of thin air in Ling's hand.
"If you want me to find you, use it to contact me."
Ling didn't look back and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
"What happened when you went out this time?" Tiantong Daozun saw Ling walking away, closed the restriction of the forbidden area, and asked Gu Zhifei.
Gu Zhifei briefly told Tiantong Daozun what happened during this trip, and then said, "Maybe I shouldn't have gone on this trip."
For a child, seeing a loved one die tragically may be a lifelong nightmare.
Tiantong Daozun shook his head: "Gong Yu is a monster with special talents. The next generation can inherit the memory of the previous generation. Even if you don't take him with you, he will know the truth."
At that time, he didn't even have the chance to see her. Wouldn't that be even more regrettable? At least they still had a few days to spend together as mother and son.
"Speaking of which, Gong Yu and his mother are also pitiful people."
Taoist Tiantong slowly told the story of the relationship between Ling's mother and the Seven Stars Sect.
It turns out that Ling's mother is not the out-of-control monster imprisoned in the forbidden area.
She is the demon king, managing the controllable demon beasts outside and reaching a consensus with the monks. She controls the powerful demons to prevent them from causing trouble, and the monks can punish the demon beasts that violate the rules, but they cannot destroy the demon beasts' territories.
Over the years, they have kept each other in check and no major trouble has occurred.
Until a few years ago, a group of demon cultivators disrupted everything. They took advantage of the demon king's upcoming birth, kidnapped her husband, and took the opportunity to kill him.
The demon king was so grief-stricken and angry that she laid a premature egg, hoping to avenge her husband, but she didn't know who her enemy was.
Her husband's strength was not very high, and the evil cultivator did not even leave him his soul. The Demon King had no clues and could only explore bit by bit relying on his own strength.
But there is no way to accomplish all this with just one egg.
So Ling's mother discussed with the leader of the Seven Stars Sect and decided to keep Ling in the forbidden area of the Seven Stars Sect.
With the protection of the head, although the forbidden area is dangerous, no blind monster would risk annihilation to touch the monster king's eggs. The hundreds of beasts that Gu Zhifei saw before were just real onlookers.
They really just want to watch the fun.
To be honest, Gu Zhifei misunderstood what they meant.
"Master, then why did you say that his cultivation was too low and he couldn't return to the forbidden area?"
Since the forbidden area is safer, wouldn't it be better to let Ling stay in the forbidden area?
Tiantong Daozun shook his head and said, "If you don't go out for a walk, you won't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. How can you be reborn and soar into the sky?"
