Heavenly Maiden Ling Xin rode the 100-feet-long Light Dust and flew into the sky, heading straight for the lake in the south of the Udumbara Pure Sect.
The Venerable of Dao Will Sickness had brought the Bitterness and Sorrow Envoys to release the Gu Poison while the Youtan Pure Sect was heading to Sichuan. Once the Gu Poison spread, the Youtan Pure Sect would suffer a great disaster. Furthermore, Ying Feiyang in the Alert Tower might have been infected by the Gu Poison. The Red String Gu Poison would lay a large number of eggs in his body. Once they hatched, he would be the first victim of the Youtan Pure Sect.
At the thought of this, Ling Xin's heart was burning. However, she knew that the more urgent the situation was, the calmer she should be. She chanted the Tranquil Heart Sutra a few times and forcefully suppressed her surging emotions. The dust flew across the sky silently and did not cause any movement.
The Human Path should not have known that the matter had been exposed. They were most likely still in the reeds on the south side of the Youtan Pure Sect. The Goddess did not inform the others and only went alone to avoid alerting them. Otherwise, if the three of them noticed the commotion and hid in the lake, it would be difficult to find them. However, she felt pressured if she was the only one taking action.
If I want to get rid of the Red String Gu Poison, I have to kill the Gu Mother first. The Gu Mother is most likely on the Venerable of Sickness, but it might also do the opposite. I can use the Venerable of Sickness to attract attention and place the Gu Poison on the Sorrow Envoy or the Hardship Envoy. Therefore, I can't let any of them escape …
"The position of the Four Venerable Ones in the Human Realm is second only to Daoist Master Yan Shiyuan. The Hardship Emissary and the Sorrow Emissary aren't weak either. Even though I can defeat any one of them, if I want to kill all of them in a one-versus-three situation, I'll need to restrain the Venerable Sick first … I only have one chance."
As the Goddess weighed the pros and cons, she had already arrived near the reeds.
To prevent herself from being discovered, Ling Xin floated down from the sky. She remained still and hid her aura, becoming one with the scenery in front of her.
The water in front of her was sparkling and misty. The dense reeds danced gracefully, the tides rose and fell, and the water birds danced. It was a wild and unrestrained natural scenery. Who would have thought that a vicious Red Calamity was brewing in the depths of the reeds …
"Hmm? This is … blood? " Holy Daughter Ling Xin's heart suddenly palpitated. Through the layers of reed stems and leaves, she discovered that there was an inconspicuous pink color in the lake water, and there was a faint smell of blood in the fragrance of the reeds.
"Not good, a disciple must have passed by and ended up being killed by them." Goddess Ling Xin gritted her teeth and forced her emotions to remain calm. At the same time, she closed her eyes and focused her spiritual sense to the extreme. The 100-foot-long Light Dust silently split into several strands and inserted itself into the water like a spider web, capturing any trembling sound waves in the water …
Although Goddess Ling Xin's eyes were closed, she was like a spider in the center of a spider's web. She could hear the wind blowing, the grass moving, the birds flying, and the fish diving. Every single movement, big and small, entered her ears …
If he wanted to stop this disaster, the best way was to catch the enemy off guard, find them among the reeds, and subdue them in an instant.
Success or failure depends on the moment you make your move.
A gentle breeze blew, and the water flowed between the reeds. It was as if they were intimately attached to each other. The sound of the flowing water and the rustling of the reeds were like the whispers of love. A battle between the hunter and the hunted unfolded without a sound …
As the range of the "spider web" expanded, finally …
"Over there!"
Goddess Ling Xin's eyes opened, and they were as bright as stars. At the same time, the 100-foot-long Light Dust quickly spread out, moving silently under the water and surrounding a direction!
Just now, a faint cough that was almost inaudible came from the water and traveled through the 100-foot-long Light Dust into Goddess Ling Xin's ears. This cough was the signature of Venerable Sickly Fan Qubing.
The prey had revealed itself, and it was the hunter's victory!
In a place where Goddess Ling Xin could not see, the 100-foot-long Light Dust rose from the water and surrounded the source of the cough!
"Caught you!"
Goddess Ling Xin felt that the 100-foot-long Light Dust had trapped someone. Her fingers moved like lightning, and she quickly formed a spell. Before Venerable Sickly Fan could react, she wanted to quickly retract the 100-foot-long Light Dust.
Like a snake returning to its nest, the white Light Dust broke through the layers of reeds at an indescribable speed. In front of it was a figure. Although Goddess Ling Xin had never seen him before, she could tell from his sickly face that it was Venerable Sickly Fan Qubing.
"Success!" Seeing that her surprise attack had worked, Goddess Ling Xin was excited. She had captured Fan Qubing before he could resist, and the remaining two messengers were not a threat.
However, just as Fan Qubing was being dragged to the shore …
"Dong!"
His head fell off.
A straight line of blood appeared on his neck, and his head slid off. Blood spurted out from the smooth cut, and his head rolled a few times on the wetland before rolling into the river.
At the same time …
"Whoosh!"
Large patches of reeds were neatly cut in the middle along a straight line. Their stems slid into the water, but the reed flowers danced in the air.
The pure white reed flowers and the bright red blood mist formed a beautiful killing scene. The sound of a sword being sheathed was the last note of this killing scene.
The reeds were cut in the middle, and her field of vision was empty. In front of her, there was a figure standing on the smooth surface of the water with two floating corpses.
Seeing that the person on the surface of the water sheathed his sword, Goddess Ling Xin's eyes widened, and a beautiful expression bloomed. "How can it be you?"
The person standing on the surface of the water had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he had an outstanding bearing. Although he had lost a lot of weight, Goddess Ling Xin could still recognize him at a glance. It was Ying Feiyang!
Ying Feiyang saw her too. He tapped on the ground and glided across the water like a water bird. He landed in front of Goddess Ling Xin and said with a faint smile, "Hey, Goddess, long time no see. You're still in Youtan Pure Sect. It seems like you've made it in time for the Battle of the Heavenly Book."
The person that she had been worried about had now appeared in front of her alive and well. The Goddess was surprised and delighted. However, when she saw his indifferent and nonchalant look and recalled how she was worried for him just now, she heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. She put on a stern face and said, "Why are you here?"
Ying Feiyang was slightly at a loss and said, "I came out of the Vigilance Tower a few hours ago. I felt that after staying in the tower for half a year, I became a savage and couldn't meet anyone. I thought that I still had some time, so I came to the lake to wash and trim my hair. I met people from the Human Realm and killed them."
Ying Feiyang said calmly as if killing people and trimming their hair were the same. It was something that he did casually and insignificant. He then blinked innocently and asked, "Why are people from the Human Realm here? Did something happen?"
Goddess Ling Xin almost could not help but stomp her feet. She resisted and said, "I'm asking, how did you get out of the Vigilance Tower?"
Thinking about this, Goddess Ling Xin suddenly felt a chill in her heart. If a cultivator in the Vigilance Tower got rid of his inner demon, there would be a Brahma bell ringing and a strange phenomenon of flowers falling from the sky to congratulate the cultivator's success. According to what she heard, there was no strange phenomenon in the Vigilance Tower, which meant that Ying Feiyang should still be in the tower. Then the person in front of her …
