Zhao Yun slowly opened his eyes, only to meet Duobao's enthusiastic and excited gaze. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Senior Martial Brother, you're alright!" He remembered that he was tortured by the smelly toad's demonic power. He should've exploded and died, but somehow, he was perfectly fine. He asked, "What? I'm actually not dead?"
Duobao's tiger-like eyes flickered with tears. He grabbed Zhao Yun's hands and laughed heartily, "Junior Martial Brother, of course you're not dead. You won't die!"
"Eh?" Zhao Yun was stunned at first, then he said with ecstasy, "Senior Martial Brother, you can speak! Your face has changed too. "
Zhao Yun remembered what Grandmaster Zi Hui said to him that day. If Senior Martial Brother could speak, he would break through his innate mucosa and become a real Long Armed Demon Ape. He then saw the King Of Poisons's corpse lying paralyzed on the ground from afar. He said with surprise, "Senior Martial Brother, did you kill this toad? Your strength really amazes me. "
Duobao shook his head like a rattle-drum. He hurriedly explained, "No, I'm not sure what happened either. That fellow died when I punched it, but I know it definitely wasn't my fist that killed it. That's right, at that time, I saw a red light shining and there were seven strange blood-red words. "
"What blood-red words?"
Duobao spread his hands helplessly, "Junior Martial Brother, it's not like you don't know that I don't know any words."
Zhao Yun was in a good mood after surviving a disaster and seeing that Senior Martial Brother could speak again. He smiled knowingly, "Haha, I forgot about that."
He suddenly stood up, but he felt comfortable all over. He didn't have any signs of injury. He even felt that his divine sense was invigorated and his body was full of energy. He couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? I might as well check that monster's corpse. "
Zhao Yun walked towards the Thousand Poisons Toad King's corpse in large strides, only to see the Hu Sisters lying on the ground, unconscious. Hastily he ran over to them, his heart filled with tenderness. He repeatedly called out, "Qing 'er, Lan' er, how are you?"
Hu Qing and her sister closed their eyes as if they hadn't heard anything.
Zhao Yun stretched out her hand to check their breathing. Although she knew that their jade-like complexions were normal, their jade-like bodies were still warm, and their lives were not in danger, she could not help feeling uneasy. She was afraid the two of them would meet with some mishap, and was endlessly anxious.
Suddenly, Jiao Li sighed, "You don't have to call them. They must have been hit by the King Of Poisons's demonic breath, which is why they are unconscious. They will wake up in ten hours."
Zhao Yun looked up and met Luo Yihong's complicated gaze. Zhao Yun couldn't tell whether it was confusion or joy in her eyes. She couldn't help staring blankly and said, "Many thanks! Why aren't you leaving? "
Luo Yihong faintly said, "You risked your life to save mine, how can I ignore your life and death and just walk away like this? Who do you think I am? "
Zhao Yun said in his heart, "I saved you only because I don't want to owe you a favor. Besides, even if I didn't save you, it would still be difficult for me to escape from the King Of Poisons's evil hands. The result would still be the same." But he knew that most likely Luo Yihong already had a plan in mind; she was not someone he could persuade with words. Thereupon, he simply abandoned the idea of driving her away and asked, "You said that Qing 'er and the others were hit by the King Of Poisons's demonic breath, and that they only need to wait quietly. Is that true?"
Luo Yihong smiled gently and said, "If you believe me, why ask? If you don't believe me, even if my tongue is as bright as a lotus and I try my best to prove it, your heart will still be uneasy and you will be half-believing and half-doubting. Our Beast Hall has been studying the way of controlling beasts for generations, we have even more unique secrets regarding spiritual beasts and demonic creatures. But of course you won't take it to heart. Heh, it's up to you to believe it or not. "
Zhao Yun didn't have a clear understanding of Beast Hall, but Beast Hall was ranked among the top ten sects of Immortal Grove purely based on the way of controlling beasts, so there must be something about it that couldn't be underestimated. Luo Yihong's words could also represent Beast Hall's authority, so presumably she wouldn't speak empty words. Besides, there was no other way other than patiently waiting for the Shuang Shu to wake up.
He pushed his worries aside and walked straight to the King Of Poisons's corpse. He saw that this demonic creature's body had shrunk and shriveled up by a large margin, and its eyeballs were bulging out. Unexpectedly, all of its blood and qi had been sucked out, leaving only its skin and flesh. He couldn't help but be aghast. "What the hell is going on? The King Of Poisons must have suffered great fear before it died, but with its ability, how could this be? "
Luo Yihong was puzzled. "Could it be that you really don't remember what happened? All of this is thanks to you. "
Zhao Yun was horrified and faintly felt uneasy. Her tone became hurried as she said, "What did you say?"
Luo Yihong saw that Zhao Yun's expression didn't seem to be fake, and her heart couldn't help but thump. She was silent for a moment before she said, "At that time, when your body was about to explode, there was a strange aura that protected your body from being destroyed. After that, a strange dark stone tablet flew out from your chest, and seven large 'Kill' characters flew out from the stone tablet, instantly dyeing the world red. Those seven blood-red 'Kill' characters easily sucked the King Of Poisons's demonic power dry, causing him to die an unnatural death in an instant. This Seven Kills Stone Stele is really powerful. "
Stone tablet!
Seven Kill!
Luo Yihong said it lightly, but when she heard it in Zhao Yun's ears, it was no less than a thunderclap. In an instant, her soul throbbed, and she was so agitated that she was about to go crazy.
"Why is it a stone tablet again? Why is there a stone tablet hidden in my body? The King Of Poisons is so difficult to deal with, yet he couldn't block the stone tablet. What's with the blood-red 'Kill' characters? "
A series of questions surged in Zhao Yun's heart, and the scene of the stone tablet easily smashing Song Langyun to death appeared in her mind. The terrifying power of the Demon Stone Tablet had already made her fearful. At this moment, it was as if there was a large piece of dark cloud enveloping her as she walked towards the cliff. Taking a step forward was a bottomless abyss, and there was no turning back.
"There is no free meal in this world, and such a powerful stone tablet wouldn't reside in my body for no reason. But I completely don't know where it came from, and what is its purpose? Since I was born, it has only been a short twenty years, but I'm like a lone star. Everyone close to me is implicated by me. Could it be because of this stone tablet? "
The fog was thick, and the shadows were gloomy. It was as if there was a huge net waiting for its prey to be captured. And that prey was him!
His previous feelings were firm, and he didn't want anyone to suffer because of him. He already had too many attachments, and had set the great ambition of climbing to the peak of the sword path. He didn't want his life to be controlled by a Demon Stone Tablet.
But, could he really change the destiny decided by the heavens?
The more Zhao Yun thought, the more afraid he became. His hands couldn't help but tremble. He wasn't afraid of Han Xiushui. He wasn't afraid of the King Of Poisons. But he had a deep fear of the Seven Kill Demon Stone that had helped him several times in his body. He was afraid that this stone tablet would push the people he loved into the abyss again.
Duobao came closer and found that Zhao Yun's forehead was constantly sweating. He asked in puzzlement, "Shidi, what's wrong?"
"Oh, right!" In a daze, purple lightning flashed. Zhao Yun suddenly understood. He turned his head and stared blankly at Luo Yihong. He said urgently, "You must know something, right!"
Even if Luo Yihong was extremely courageous and could calmly watch the Demon Stone Tablet in his body kill the King Of Poisons, but strange things were happening. Her gaze towards him must be strange. But Luo Yihong acted as if nothing had happened. There was only one possibility, she must know some secrets!
Her burning gaze revealed Zhao Yun's urgent and anxious feelings. Seeing this, Luo Yihong's heart moved, but her expression didn't change. Man Yu said with a light laugh, "What are you talking about? What do I know?"
"You saw the stone tablet fly out of my body and kill the King Of Poisons. Don't you find it strange and not afraid? You wouldn't be so calm unless you already knew the reason. "
Luo Yihong's jade-like hand lightly brushed her hair and smiled again, "Do you think I'm a weak little girl? I've traveled the Immortal Grove since I was young and have seen the boundless world. I've experienced things a hundred times more bizarre than this. Why make a fuss about this little bit of strangeness? "
Zhao Yun knew that Luo Yihong wasn't telling the truth. She thought to herself, Although she didn't say it, she definitely followed me because of the stone tablet in my body. That's right. This time, the Tenshidō, Mount Shu, and the Hidden Slaughter Road assassins probably came for this. That day in the dream of the Great Wasteland, the Seven Mad Emperors clearly meant something. The Three Year Promise had a different meaning. At that time, although everyone present didn't show anything strange, they must have connected me to the Seven Mad Emperors.
No wonder Yang Xugu said that the road in Jianghu was urgent and told me to hide in the Valley of End Ruins if something happened. Big Brother Ye Feng stopped me from traveling alone and even sent Senior North Gate Chuixue to protect me in secret. I'm afraid they already saw that the situation was critical. The more they wanted me to hide, the more I wanted to travel to Tiger Mountain. Hmph, since I've already decided to climb the peak alone, why should I be afraid? Could it be that I'm hesitating because I'm afraid? Although the stone tablet is strange and mysterious, I still have to rely on the power in my hands to sweep away all the evil aura. "
"Shidi, you're sweating and you haven't spoken for so long. What's wrong?" Duobao saw that his shidi was ignoring him and couldn't help but become anxious. He patted his bald face and said, "Is it because I don't have any hair on my face and I'm more handsome than shidi? So you feel that I'm much more handsome and that's why you're unhappy?"
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Shidi is right. You've become much more handsome. I can't get used to it all of a sudden."
He knew that Duobao was deliberately joking to relieve his boredom. Although the joke wasn't funny, he felt his shidi's deep affection for him and became more open-minded. He raised his eyes to look at Luo Yihong and saw that her eyes were clear and bright and her jade face was flushed red. She was truly gorgeous beyond compare. He thought to himself, "Since you must follow me, then you can ride a donkey and read a songbook. The secret that you don't want to talk about will come to light one day."
Thus, Zhao Yun temporarily put aside his doubts about the Demon Stele and carefully asked about Duobao's battle with the King Of Poisons, as well as his physical condition after his mutation. The two of them talked and quietly waited for Hu Qing and her sister to wake up, leaving Luo Yihong to the side.
Luo Yihong didn't mind. She picked up some leaves and spread them on the ground. She gently sat down cross-legged, revealing her charming curves. She gently stroked Little Guobao's soft hair and suddenly shook her head. Then, she burst out laughing, but even she didn't know why she was laughing.
Although Little Guobao was small, it had miraculously sucked all the blood from the King Of Poisons. Now that it had eaten its fill, it had already fallen asleep. Otherwise, with its familiarity with Luo Yihong, it might be able to guess what she was thinking.
The ghost fog had completely dispersed, but the sky was gradually darkening. After holding on for a long time, Duobao didn't feel tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Now that his mucous membrane was gone, his breathing was no different from that of a normal person. There was no longer any frightening snoring.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and secretly said, "Finally, I don't have to listen to the thunder. Speaking of which, I really miss that snoring sound. "
A cool breeze drifted and the stars shone faintly. It was a rare tranquility.
After a series of bitter battles and surviving a calamity, they finally had a moment of peace.
