As the newcomer drew closer, he could see that it was a man dressed in a yellow ancient martial outfit. His long hair was tied behind his head, and he wore a custom-made metal mask. The mask was black in color, as if a layer of black iron had been plastered over his face. It was hideous, but it covered his face well.
On the man's back was a large sack. From the shape of the sack, one could tell that there was a person in it!
"A Dark Water Stage cultivator …" Yang Cheng could tell the man's cultivation at a glance.
What surprised Yang Cheng even more was that the person in the sack was also a Connate Perfected stage cultivator.
"Good, you're eager to save your daughter." The man in the iron mask looked at Yang Cheng and sneered. "You must be Yang Cheng. Have you brought the 'Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture'?"
Yang Cheng muttered to himself. Why was it that he kept running into masked men? The masked man in Arnhem, then the black-robed man in the iron mask, and now this yellow-robed man in the iron mask.
"It's me. I've brought the 'Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture'. Is that Wang Shu in your sack? "
"That's right. If you want to see it, I'll show you. But you'll have to show me the scripture."
Yang Cheng took out the scripture and waved it in his hand.
The man in the iron mask did not ask for it to be shown to him. He seemed to be very confident. He shook the sack in his hand, and a petite woman fell out onto the muddy ground.
The woman was dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt and light-colored cropped pants. Her hair was short, and her oval face was very similar to Tang Luyi's. There was light makeup on her face, and even though she was covered in dirt, one could tell that she was a natural beauty.
Her attire was contemporary, which was understandable. After all, people in the fantasy realm had changed with the times, and not everyone liked to wear ancient clothes.
However, the woman was currently in a state of unconsciousness, as if she was suffering from some great pain. Even though she was unconscious, her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her body was curled up.
"She has been poisoned by my Heart Loss Insect. This kind of insect is connected to the caster's body. If I want her to die, she can die at any time. And if I accidentally die, the insect in her body will instantly sense the death of the mother insect in my body and explode in her heart. She will definitely die.
Moreover, you don't need to think about using any means to remove the Mind Disoriented Parasite from her body, because there are only two ways to remove this parasite. One is for me to summon it with the Insect Queen, and the other is for her to die naturally after 49 days.
It has already been thirty days. In less than twenty days, she will be safe and sound. "The iron masked man laughed coldly.
"What an insidious insect poison." Cai Ning reprimanded coldly, "She is unconscious and in so much pain. How can we believe your words?"
"Hehe, little girl, I didn't ask you to believe me. I didn't come here today to argue with you, nor did I come here to fight you to the death. I just want to use Wang Shu to exchange for the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture in your hands," the iron masked man said confidently.
Tang Luyi's eyes reddened the moment she laid eyes on Wang Shu, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ning Er … That … That child … Does he look a lot like Master?" Tang Luyi's mind was in a whirl. She could not help but ask a silly question.
Tang Luyi knew better than anyone else whether they looked alike or not.
"Hmm …" Cai Ning could not deny it. "Indeed, the shape of the face, nose, and mouth are very similar to master's."
After Tang Luyi confirmed it, she was overwhelmed with emotions, and could not help but want to run forward to have a closer look.
However, before she could do so, the iron masked man waved his hand, and a surge of Ethereal Core pushed her back.
Cai Ning caught Tang Luyi in her arms, and glared at the iron masked man. "Why did you touch my master? Can't she get a closer look?! "
"Hmph, if you want to look, then look. Don't push your luck. I'm not even asking for the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture. Why are you so impatient?"
Tang Luyi was not angry, or rather, she did not dare to be angry, for fear that she would cause Wang Shu to suffer.
Tang Luyi turned to Yang Cheng, and begged, "Childe Yang, please save that child."
Yang Cheng knew that Tang Luyi had already regarded this girl as her own daughter. Indeed, this girl bore a striking resemblance to her.
Having lost her daughter for almost twenty years, Tang Luyi could not help but feel a surge of motherly love when she found a girl who looked so much like her.
"Since I'm here, I'll save her." Yang Cheng raised the scripture in his hand, and said to the iron masked man, "The scripture is right here. I can assure you that it's genuine. What do you want in exchange?"
"Hehe, good! Very good. " The iron masked man said confidently, "I'm not afraid that you're up to no good. From what I know, your cultivation level is quite high. But I can't detect any signs of it, so I'm guessing you're using some kind of method to hide it.
But that's fine, I'm prepared to die here. Worst comes to worst, I'll take Wang Shu down with me. Come over here, give me the scripture, and take Wang Shu with you. "
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes. This man seemed to know a lot about him, and this was all part of his plan. Yang Cheng wondered which hidden family this man came from, or was he from Hongmeng?
The enemy was in the dark, and he was out in the open. Yang Cheng felt helpless, but he had no choice but to approach.
As he approached the iron masked man, Yang Cheng felt that he had countless ways to kill him. But if Wang Shu were to die as well, he would not be able to answer to Cai Ning.
After giving the scripture to the iron masked man, Yang Cheng picked up Wang Shu from the ground and walked back.
As he walked, Yang Cheng used his divine sense to check the location of Wang Shu's heart.
Sure enough, there was a colorful and ugly Gu worm entrenched in her heart!
Yang Cheng gritted his teeth. It seemed that there was really a Gu worm, but he didn't have time to ask Hsiao Chih-ching about the Mind Loss Gu. He couldn't take the risk.
The iron masked man opened the Xuan paper and laughed. "Good, it seems to be the real Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture. I'll give Wang Shu to you, and I'll leave now. Wang Shu will wake up in an hour.
For the next 20 days, she'll be no different from a normal person, but don't even think about touching the Mind Loss Gu. Wang Shu is a Xiantian Full Circle cultivator, and she knows the power of this poison. If you try to remove it … I don't care if she lives or dies. "
With that, the iron masked man leaped up and shot straight into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
Yang Cheng didn't chase after him, but calmly handed Wang Shu over to Tang Luyi. "There's indeed a Gu worm in her body. I'll ask my Qing 'er about it."
Tang Luyi could not care less about that. She hugged Wang Shu and wept her heart out, calling her "Shu 'er" softly.
Cai Ning, who was watching from the side, wiped away her tears as well.
Yang Cheng waited for the two women to calm down before he brought Wang Shu back to Tang Luyi's bamboo hut.
The first thing Yang Cheng did was to call Hsiao Chih-ching to ask about the Mind Loss Gu. It was a vicious and insidious Gu worm. Usually, only when there was a large gap in cultivation between the two, would the Gu worm be able to be used. This was because the Mind Loss Gu worm had to be controlled before it could be used.
The solution was exactly as the iron masked man had said, which was to wait for the next 49 days to pass.
About an hour later, Wang Shu finally woke up. When she saw Tang Luyi by her bedside, the girl's eyes were filled with confusion.
Tang Luyi took out the Kunlun Jade Pendant and asked in a trembling voice, "Child, is this … is this jade pendant yours? Is your name Wang Shu? "
"Where … where am I? Madam … how did you get my jade pendant? "Wang Shu asked in a low voice.
Tang Lu couldn't control her emotions. She hugged her daughter tightly. "Shu 'er, I'm your mother!"
"Mother?" Wang Shu was confused. Her hands were stiff as she looked around the bamboo hut. It was as if she had just woken up from a dream.
When she saw Yang Cheng and Cai Ning standing behind her, Wang Shu was even more confused. She didn't know where to start.
Yang Cheng pulled Cai Ning's hand and gestured for her to speak outside. He wanted to give the mother and daughter some time to reunite. Cai Ning obediently agreed.
Outside the hut, Cai Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "It looks like this girl is really my Sifu's daughter. Hubby, it's all thanks to you."
"Well, she's my Ning 'er's Sifu." Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head.
"Hmm, but you're really something. To be able to come up with a Skill Manual in such a short time." Cai Ning smiled, "I was almost fooled by you."
