Zhu Yao met with a demonic beast, and then … she was eaten.
Although she was currently just a Foundation trash, after cultivating for so many years, her basic conditioned reflexes were still present. Hence, she immediately cast a protective barrier on herself. Raising her hand, she was about to cast an ice-type mystic art in retaliation.
That demonic beast suddenly loosened its mouth, and curiously looked at her with widened eyes. It even blinked a few times. Then, it moved closer and sniffed.
In an instant, as though it was frightened, it fiercely jumped a step back. Looking at her again, it then widened its mouth …
Ugh ~ ~
It began to vomit.
"…"
Just how disgusting was she? Was there a need to vomit to this extent?
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Yao shouted out with a darkened expression.
That demonic beast was shocked. The fur on its body stood up like a hedgehog, as though it wanted to retreat. However, it did not manage to step properly, causing its feet to slip, and it almost fell. Flustered, it jumped a few meters away.
Yo, it's rather timid. It seemed like it was a beast cub.
In an instant, the nervousness in the depths of her heart was completely swept away.
Recalling that she seemed to be able to understand demonic beasts' words earlier, she wondered if this ability was still there. She took a step forward. "Umm, little beastie, do you know where Ancient Azure Sect is?"
That demonic beast did not reply, and simply stared at her anxiously. Then, it moved its claws, and decisively took a step back.
Was she really that scary?
"Is Ancient Azure Sect nearby?" She took another step forward.
The demonic beast moved two steps back.
"How big is this forest?" She took another step forward.
It then took another three steps back.
"Is there a need for you to be so afraid of me?"
Another four steps back.
"Stop retreating!"
Five steps …
"There's a …"
Splat ~
A miserable cry pierced through the sky!
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, as she finished her unfinished words. "… A pit."
Where's your intelligence as a demonic beast?
Sighing, Zhu Yao immediately walked over.
That pit was very deep, and there were even ripples of formations in the surroundings. It should be a trap specially dug by a practitioner to capture demonic beasts.
That demonic beast with a low intelligence was currently struggling inside. From the initial panic, it turned into furious roars. In one moment, it was desperately clawing at the wall, and in the next moment, it was forcefully charging at the surrounding array formation. However, it was no use. It couldn't get out of the pit at all. Instead, its claws were rebounded by the array formation, and many wounds were left on it.
Next time, it would be tormented to death by him.
"Hey!" Zhu Yao could not help but cry out.
The demonic beast was stunned and raised its head abruptly. When it saw that it was her, it immediately quietened down as if someone had pressed the pause button. With a shake of his body, he stopped digging at the wall and stopped ramming into the formation. It started to shrink towards the wall weakly, as if it wanted to hide itself. However, it rubbed against the wall, causing dirt to fall down.
In the end, it found that it had nowhere to hide. Because it had curled itself into a ball of fur, it began to let out a low whine, and its huge body trembled.
"Uh …" Is it crying?
Awoo … Awoo …
Its voice was getting louder and louder, and its big black eyes were dripping with water, wetting its beautiful white fur.
"Don't cry!"
"Oh oh oh oh …"
"What are you crying for? I was the one who was almost eaten, wasn't I?"
"Oh oh oh oh oh …"
"Furthermore, you fell down yourself, didn't you?"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh …"
Its cries grew even sadder, and in the end, it actually began to roll around at the bottom of the hole.
Yo, it's even panting now. Zhu Yao's expression darkened. Haah, forget it, it's just a beast.
Casting a wind-type mystic art, she swept up a piece of withered wood at the side and dragged it into the hole. Coincidentally, it pressed down on the formation core at the bottom of the hole. A white light flashed, and the formation instantly lost its effects.
"Stop whining, come up!"
That fur ball was stunned for a moment. A moment later, it tilted its head to look at the withered wood that was used to build a bridge, and then looked at the formation that had lost its effects. Its eyes widened, and it happily jumped up. Its front paws stepped on the withered wood, and with two thuds, it climbed up. It happily flopped around on the ground a few times.
Raising its head, it glanced at her, and then, it ran into the depths of the forest, disappearing in an instant.
Well, this ungrateful little bastard.
It seemed like she shouldn't count on it to lead the way either. Raising her head to look at the night sky, Zhu Yao had no choice but to carry her miniature master, and head into the depths of the forest. Looking at the location of the market, Ancient Azure Sect shouldn't be far away.
Walking in the forest was different from flying on a sword. There were too many references in the surroundings, and it was very easy to lose one's sense of direction. She did want to fly, but unfortunately, she did not have any transportation tools! However, as long as it was a deity sect, they should be above spiritual veins. Walking towards a place with dense spiritual energy was always the right choice.
After walking for about two hours, she finally saw a place that looked like a mountain gate.
On a gigantic stone wall, the two large words "Ancient Azure" were written. Next to the stone wall was a vast ocean.
Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately walked towards the ocean. Just as she passed through the stone wall, the scenery in front of her distorted. The ocean suddenly disappeared, transforming into a blessed land of celestial mountains. Gigantic mountain peaks floated in midair, and the entire place was filled with dazzling lights, and auspicious clouds filled the sky.
"I wonder why this fellow daoist has come to my Ancient Azure Sect?" A male voice sounded from the left. A man in a light robe walked out from the teleportation formation, his face was filled with a courteous smile.
Zhu Yao guessed that he should be the sect's guardian disciple. However, she was still unable to see through his cultivation level. It seemed like he was above her as well.
"Fellow daoist." Because she was carrying him, she could only politely nod. "This humble one is Zhu Yao. I have come to your esteemed sect to look for an old friend."
That man still politely said. "I wonder who fellow daoist is looking for?"
"His surname is Wang, and his name is Xuzhi. I wonder if he can enter the sect now? "
The man was startled, and a strange expression flashed past his face. Sizing her up for a moment, his brows furrowed. His expression no longer had the courteousness from before, and carrying a hint of anger, he said. "I have seen many ladies like you. It's useless, go back! If you want to sneak into my Ancient Azure Sect, you have to see if your aptitude is sufficient! "
"Eh?" What did he mean?
However, he impatiently waved his hands. "Hurry, hurry and leave."
"Fellow daoist, I don't wish to enter Ancient Azure …"
"Scram scram scram!" He waved his hands with an impatient look. "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite." As he said that, he really reached out his hand and pushed her out.
Just as Zhu Yao was about to explain, a furious roar suddenly sounded from behind her.
A white figure darted out with a swoosh. In an instant, it smashed that guardian disciple onto the ground with a single claw, and then fiercely bared its fangs at him.
It was that cowardly demonic beast earlier. Why was it here?
"Heavenly Sovereign Bai Yuan." That disciple suddenly exclaimed. Looking at the ferocious beast, he then turned to look at Zhu Yao. In an instant, with a look of realization, he hurriedly crawled up and bowed towards that demonic beast. "This disciple's eyes are bad, I did not realize that this is the Heavenly Sovereign's esteemed guest. Heavenly Sovereign, please forgive me!"
That demonic beast puffed out a mouthful of air at him, as though it was extremely angry. It then turned its head and no longer looked at him, yet the disciple continued to apologize.
What was going on? Could it be that this stupid beast was raised by Ancient Azure Sect? And it seemed like its position was rather high, to the point that even human practitioner disciples did not dare to offend it?
Zhu Yao seemed to be sizing up this beast. That beast trembled from her gaze. Earlier, it was extremely domineering when it was bullying others, but the moment she looked at it, it immediately cowered. It timidly glanced at her, and as though it was frightened, with a swoosh, it once again disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yao: "…" Just how afraid of her was it?
"This esteemed guest, I did not know of your esteemed identity earlier, and have offended you greatly. I hope you will forgive me." The disciple changed his previous anger, and passionately welcomed her. "Esteemed guest, please follow me to the Main Mountain."
Zhu Yao nodded. Following him, she walked towards a teleportation formation. The formation light flashed, and she had already arrived in front of a towering great hall.
"Where's Wang Xuzhi?" She thought that he would directly bring her to little wimp's place, yet, unexpectedly, the guardian disciple politely invited her into the hall to have a seat.
That disciple explained. "Unfortunately, our sect's Sect Master is currently in closed-door training, and it isn't convenient for him to receive you. Currently, the matters in the sect are temporarily managed by the Grand Elder. Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. This lowly one will inform the Elder to come over. "
After saying that, he retreated out of the hall. Most likely, he had gone to inform that Elder. Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. If Wang Xuzhi was really a disciple of Ancient Azure Sect, then if she was looking for someone, it was still necessary for her to inform the manager.
Hence, she could only wait with peace of mind!
Her master had yet to wake up, and it wasn't good for her to carry him the entire time either. Hence, she pulled two chairs together, and placed him on the chair, allowing him to lie down more comfortably.
Only then did she begin to size up this great hall. The more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt.
No matter if it was the shape of the chair, the style of the table, the curtains hanging in the hall, or even the person who entered through the door …
"Junior-martial nephew Zi Mo!" Zhu Yao exclaimed.
When her words fell, the person who had just stepped into the hall, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
"Little … Little martial uncle!" Zi Mo suddenly widened his eyes. "You're still alive … No wait, you're already dead?"
"…" Why did these words sound a little strange?
"Why are you here?" His face was filled with disbelief.
"Not just me, my master is here as well." She pointed to the person who had fallen asleep on the chair.
"What? Ancestral-martial uncle is dead as well? "
"Uh …" Was there a need to curse him to death the moment she saw his face?
— —
Zhu Yao really did not expect that she would once again meet a familiar face. And he was even the former Sect Master of Ancient Hill Sect, Zi Mo.
After he perished, he went to the Netherworld, awakened his intelligence, and became a spirit. Only then did he come to the Spirit World. After that, he joined this Ancient Azure Sect, cultivated step by step, and finally became the Sect Master. It was only a hundred years ago that he handed over the responsibility to his disciple and retired to the second line.
And his disciple was none other than little wimp Wang. Wang Xuzhi was currently the Sect Master of Ancient Azure Sect. It was no wonder that when she asked for his name, the others would look at her with that kind of expression. So he was actually a Sect Leader. They probably thought that she was trying to suck up to him.
"Where's little wimp?" Zhu Yao asked.
Zi Mo's expression sank, and a moment later, he said. "The last time he returned from the Underworld, he suffered a heavy injury for some unknown reason. Currently, he's in closed-door training to recuperate."
"He's injured?" Zhu Yao's heart clenched, but she quickly recalled. "That's not right. The injuries he suffered last time weren't serious, so why does he need to go into seclusion? "
"Little Martial Uncle, do you know how he got hurt?"
Zhu Yao told him about the matters in the Underworld, and even mentioned about resentment.
"But back then, when he returned, his injuries were indeed serious." Zi Mo said with a heavy expression. "Many parts of his meridians were damaged. I have tried to treat his injuries many times, but it was completely ineffective. It's basically impossible to repair. "
"How is that possible?" Her meridians had been shattered into smithereens several times, yet, she was still able to restore them. Could it be that only her meridians could be used in a cycle, while little wimp's meridians could only be used once?
Wait a minute, of course, the one who injured little wimp seemed to be that Ghost King.
No wonder …
"Where did little wimp place the talisman that sealed the Ghost King?"
"Talisman?" Zi Mo was startled, and his face was filled with confusion. "What talisman?"
The hell! As expected, he had yet to deal with it.
She grabbed onto his collar. "Bring me to see him. Immediately, immediately!"
Zi Mo could tell that this matter wasn't simple as well. Without any hesitation, he turned around and brought her out of the hall.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and shrill ghostly cries resounded. At the front right of the mountain, a black aura rose into the sky, breaking through the skies. That black aura slowly condensed, and a moment later, it condensed into a gigantic struggling human figure.
"Xuzhi!" Zi Mo was startled. Summoning his flying sword, he flew towards the direction of that black aura.
"The hell, wait for me!" She didn't have a transportation tool, hey!
Just as she was about to chase after him, her waist suddenly felt something, and when she turned around, she bumped into a cold embrace. "Master! You're awake! "Even his height had grown back.
"Mn." Yu Yan responded. Hugging his disciple, he flew towards Zi Mo's direction.
His figure flashed, and he had already arrived at the entrance of a cave residence. That place was right below that Ghost King in the sky. A little black aura floated within the residence as well. Compared to the ones in the sky, it was a little fainter, but the word 'bug' could still be clearly seen. This was the resentment left behind by that Ghost King.
Zhu Yao walked in, and the person sitting in the house was precisely little wimp. He seemed to have suffered extremely heavy injuries, as he puked out a mouthful of blood. His body was even shrouded by a black aura. His face was pale to the point where not a single hint of blood could be seen. Zi Mo was currently sitting behind him, borrowing him to treat his injuries. However, it did not seem to be of much use.
"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao's heart clenched. Why did things turn out like this?
Wang Xuzhi weakly raised his head. Seeing that it was her, his eyes shone, and with a smile, he said. "Big sis Zhu Yao, it's good that you're alright."
"The one who's not alright is you. Just what happened?"
He did not reply, as though he no longer had much strength left.
Though, Yu Yan took a step forward, pulled his hand, and checked his pulse. With a cold voice, he said. "Resentment has entered his body."
"What?" Zhu Yao was startled.
The terrifying cries outside grew even louder. Yu Yan frowned, and instructed. "Yu Yao, seal it."
Zhu Yao's eyes shone. Yu Yan's figure had already flashed, flying towards that Ghost King filled with resentment in the sky.
"Little martial aunt?" Zi Mo was confused. "What's ancestral-grand uncle trying to do?"
"Leave it to me!" Zhu Yao did not answer him directly, and immediately sat cross-legged behind Wang Xuzhi's back. The injuries on little wimp's body had yet to fully heal, and it should be because of resentment. There was basically no way to eliminate resentment, and if this continued, little wimp's injuries would only worsen, and the small injuries would turn into heavy injuries.
Resentment was actually the amalgamation of all negative emotions, and was rather similar to devillic energy. Hence, her master reminded her that she could try sealing arts.
Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and immediately sensed the location of the resentment in little wimp's body. Circulating her spiritual energy, she gathered all of the resentment in one spot, and then activated the sealing arts. In an instant, golden characters flashed, and then, they entered Wang Xuzhi's body, firmly locking down those few clouds of black aura.
