Feng Chengyu's death was too sudden, too tragic, and even too strange. Everyone present, including Yan Li, could not react in time.
"Miss Yu!" Leng Yue started, and then let out a heart-wrenching scream. She struggled to run over, hugging the corpse and wailing. No matter how beautiful Feng Chengyu had been when she was alive, the scene now was just as shocking. Such a beauty was just a pile of minced meat in death. But who asked her to disrespect ghosts and immortals?
Ghosts and immortals?
All eyes focused on the little red-dressed female ghost. Yan Li supported the unconscious Gu Caiwei and retreated to the back. He observed the little female ghost closely, and found that while she looked like Yue Er, her demeanor was completely different. Even when the little girl was killing people, she still looked harmless. Moreover, the little girl had already grown into a big girl.
"Avenge Miss Yu!" The guards of the Sword God Villa, or rather, the swordsmen, were filled with grief and anger as they rushed towards the little female ghost. Feng Chengyu was a very contradictory person. She was jealous of Gu Caiwei, who was prettier than her, and even schemed to kill her. But to the weak, she was always full of sympathy. The five Leng Yue sisters were the same, and these swordsmen had received her kindness before. So even though they did not know whether their opponent was a human or a ghost, they still drew their swords without hesitation.
The first swordsman pounced, and swung his sword like lightning. The blade drew a cold arc in the air, and hit the little female ghost's neck. He was delighted, but the blade seemed to cut through the air. The little female ghost's body trembled like an illusion, and her small eyes were filled with anger. She reached out, and a sword appeared in her hand. Somehow, the swordsman's stomach was cut open, and he did not die immediately. He screamed and rolled on the ground.
Next was the second. He had learned his lesson, and knew that ordinary methods could not deal with ghosts and immortals. He pulled out all the qi in his Source Sea, and used the ultimate move he was most proud of. Once the ultimate move was used, there would be momentum. Because of the addition of qi, the ultimate move would not only affect the real world. Ghosts and immortals were ultimately amalgamations of energy. As long as they did not exceed the rules of the Jambu Realm, qi could deal with them. He was very confident in his own judgment. However, the Jambu Realm had never produced a ghostly immortal before, so he did not feel that his judgment was too hasty.
The second swordsman soon paid the price for his carelessness. The little ghost's sword was faster than his, and before he could even complete his' verification ', his head flew off. It could be seen that the little female ghost had a violent temper. Passively counterattacking was obviously not her style. After she killed the second swordsman, she turned into a phantom and pounced into the crowd. Her sword was fast, accurate, and ruthless. She didn't even use her ultimate skill. In just a few breaths, dozens of swordsmen were killed by her like she was cutting melons and vegetables.
Bang!
Leng Yue carried Feng Chengyu's mutilated corpse and smashed through the wall, rushing out. The little ghost girl chased after them, but stopped at the main entrance, as if there was an indescribable resistance that prevented her from stepping out. She had no choice but to give up. She turned around and stared coldly at Yan Li. Yan Li was a man of great skill and courage. He could see that although the little female ghost's swordcraft was superb, it was still much weaker than his. Naturally, he was not afraid.
"Who are you?" he asked calmly.
The little female ghost slowly pointed her sword at Yan Li, but when Yan Li put his fingers together, she seemed to sense something. She sheathed her sword and slowly floated towards the backyard.
"Wait, are you Feng Lin?"
The little female ghost stopped and glanced at Yan Li, but did not say a word. She floated away on her own. Just as the folklore said, her body could pass through walls and disappear in an instant.
Yan Li suppressed the urge to chase after her. He held the unconscious Gu Caiwei in his arms and waited. Gu Caiwei quickly regained consciousness. He was dazed for a while, then he asked in a trembling voice, "Ghost, where's the ghost?"
"Don't be afraid, she's gone."
"What, what happened?" Gu Caiwei saw the ground littered with corpses and could not help but ask.
Yan Li briefly told him what had happened. When Gu Caiwei learned that the little female ghost was an expert swordsman, his fear was immediately dispelled.
That was because if Su Beike's swordsmanship was only slightly more powerful, then there was really nothing to be afraid of. Otherwise, wouldn't Su Beike have fainted everywhere he went?
Yan Li said, "Weiwei, I suspect that she is Eldest Brother's sister, Feng Lin. She looks like a vengeful spirit, which means that something must have happened back then. Also, she seems to be cursed and cannot leave this old house. I plan to go to the back and take a look. If possible, I hope to find out what happened back then from her. You go back to the Celestial Residence first and wait for me. "
"No, I'll go too. I'm not afraid of her anymore." To prove his words, Gu Caiwei pushed Yan Li away and stood by himself. Sure enough, he was very stable.
"Then don't let go of my hand." Yan Li thought about it and did not insist. He grabbed her hand and clasped his fingers tightly, walking step by step to the backyard.
It was already late spring and summer was about to come. The backyard was also deserted, but it was unusually dark and cold.
Of course, Yan Li did not come to the backyard unprepared. He used his divine sense to track the little female ghost and sensed that she went under a locust tree in the backyard.
After passing through the dense weeds, a dead locust tree appeared in front of them. No one took care of the yard. The weeds had robbed the tree of its vitality, leaving only an empty shell.
Yan Li had carried the power of death and resentment for so many years, so he was very sensitive to similar auras. He could feel that the dark aura in the backyard came from under the locust tree. "There's something underneath. Let's dig it up and see." What he did not expect was that it took him less than a quarter of an hour to dig it up, which meant that it was buried very shallow. However, it was not Feng Lin's corpse as he had expected, but a rusty sword that was full of resentment and resentment.
This Ruthless Sword was obviously a precious weapon, but it had lost all its spirituality. It could not be washed properly even if it was put back into the Sword-cleansing Pool. It was a useless sword that could only sink into the sword mountain. The two looked at each other, both surprised by this result.
As soon as the Ruthless Sword was unearthed, the temperature in the backyard dropped to freezing point. However, it was exceptionally docile in Yan Li's hand. Perhaps it had sensed that he was a first-class sword master.
"She's not Fenglin. Then who left this sword behind? Why did it become a sword ghost? "Yan Li was full of doubts.
Once Gu Caiwei discovered the nature of things, he became calm. "Little b * tch, do you still remember what Chief Chen told us before he died? He said that Miss Fenglin was a second-class sword god. She stood out in the competition at the villa when she was only nine years old. I heard that after the owner of a second-class sword god dies, if there is a strong attachment, it will turn into a sword spirit and attach itself to the sword. Since this sword is in the Shuyu Residence, it is very likely to be Fenglin's sword. It has been buried for more than ten years and has not been nourished. It has absorbed the Earth Qi by instinct. After accumulating for a long time, it has inherited the resentment from when it was alive. Could it be that the sword that appeared just now was Fenglin's attachment? "
"Attachment? Does it refer to obsession? "
"You can think of it that way."
"If Fenglin died unwillingly and resentfully, then she must be a malicious spirit. However, from what I saw just now, rather than saying that it was revenge for what Feng Chengyu said, it was better to say that her peace was disturbed."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we can't count on the hidden story from back then. After all, it's only a sword spirit, and its intelligence is limited."
"That's right. However, this is Fenglin's sword spirit after all. I think it is very important to Eldest Senior Brother. Let's clean it up and bring it back to Eldest Senior Brother. "
After cleaning up the Ruthless Sword, they wrapped it in cloth and placed it in a box. Just as the two were about to leave, there was a shrill sound that pierced through the air. Yan Li's heart moved, and he reached out to catch it.
"Sword talisman."
"You know about it?"
"How could I not know? Our Lotus Constellation has also developed something similar. The cultivation world is like this. No matter where new things are created, as long as it is beneficial, everyone will know about it in no time."
Yan Li read the message.
His expression changed. "They want me to return immediately!"
"What happened?"
"They didn't say, only that there was a huge change …"
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the Sword Holding Association. That brother and sister have been obstructing us from finding out the truth. Could it be related to this? "
Yan Li thought of something, and his heart turned cold. "If we return empty handed, Eldest Senior Brother will be very passive."
Gu Caiwei said. "To them, you are an extremely important power. Why don't you leave first. I will stay behind to continue investigating. Once there are results, I will send it to you immediately."
"Idiot, why don't you think for me. I have already let you encounter danger once. Just now, my intestines almost turned green from regret. How can I let you stay behind and take the risk." Yan Li pinched Gu Caiwei's nose and said. The latter gently bit the back of his hand to show that he was not satisfied. He suddenly carried her by the waist and leaped onto the roof. He put her down again. "There is another way we can try. If it doesn't work, we will rush back through the night."
Gu Caiwei saw Yan Li taking out the Dragon God Ring from his chest. His face turned pale. Pressing down on his hand, he said. "You can't. Have you forgotten the price of using it?"
Yan Li laughed. He caressed Gu Caiwei's face. "A scholar will die for a bosom friend! If Eldest Senior Brother did not always trust and protect me, he would not be in such a situation. I must do something for him. Even if I have to pay a cruel price! "
Gu Caiwei said faintly. "Sometimes I really can't understand you." She was not an ordinary woman who liked to cry. Even though she was very worried, she still silently retreated to the side and watched.
What Yan Li wanted to do was very simple. He wanted to use the Dragon God Ring's ability to reverse time. He wanted to reverse the time in this courtyard and see if he could recreate the scene of that year. In fact, this was only his last unresigned 'struggle'. If the Sword God Villa and the Sword Holding Association's plan was really as he thought, then no matter how long he stayed in the Sword God Villa, he would not be able to find out the truth. However, the Dragon God Ring was activated by Fu 'er. He did not know the principle or how to use it. He could only inject a strong will into it to see if it worked.
After brewing for a long time, the Dragon God Ring did not move.
Another half an hour passed. Gu Caiwei suddenly could not help but giggle. "Little b * tch, your face is so red. You look like an unmarried woman." Yan Li rolled his eyes. She reminded him with a smile, "You always try to use it. Why did you become stupid at the critical moment? You little idiot."
Yan Li suddenly understood. He injected a bit of True Qi into the Dragon God Ring and imagined the scene of time reversing. The Dragon God Ring lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed. He sighed. "It seems that this supernatural power cannot be used by me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ruthless Sword, which had been stored in the Universe Ring, suddenly broke through the boundary of space and came to the present world. It slashed at the Dragon God Ring in Yan Li's hand. A huge crack appeared in the void. The runes on the Dragon God Ring flickered and produced countless black filaments, entangling Yan Li and dragging him into the crack.
"Little b * tch!" Gu Caiwei was shocked. She did not care about the danger and rushed into the crack in a hurry. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of hands hugging her. She smelled the familiar scent and calmed down. Then, she felt a strong sense of weightlessness and a dazzling light appeared in front of her.
When the two of them could finally see clearly, they saw the blue sky and white clouds, a warm wind blowing gently, and the sky was clear and bright. However, the feeling of falling immediately made them unable to enjoy the scenery anymore. It turned out that they were in a freefall in mid-air. Yan Li quickly glanced down and saw a huge lake. The smell of water that assaulted his face almost made him faint. Before he could think of a way to save himself, his body was suddenly suspended by an inexplicable force. He was relieved that he did not fall into the water. Then, he heard Gu Caiwei exclaim.
"Little b * tch, look. Isn't that Feng Chi-nen?"
