47. Hidden worries
"Hmph, it's just a dying struggle." The holy woman didn't take Gu Ziyan in her eyes from the beginning, and when she saw him stabbing with a sword at this time, she just snorted, waved her sleeves and retreated sharply, turning around to avoid the edge of the sword.
But when she thought she was dodging, the sword was still no more than three inches from the heart of her chest. And Gu Ziyan, who was holding the sword, had an even more aura on his body, and in an instant, the saint could no longer see the depth of his cultivation! She was shocked in her heart, and immediately put away her heart of contempt for the enemy, and several black ayaluo flew out of her sleeve and twisted towards Gu Ziyan.
These black ayara seem to be soft, but they are a magic weapon that she has been refining for many years. Not to mention the human body, even if it is a hundred steels, if it is entangled in this thing, it will be twisted into pieces. But only hearing a slight sound, Gu Ziyan opened an umbrella with his left hand. As soon as the umbrella was opened, it glowed with soft starlight, and the light veil that adorned the side of the umbrella unfolded layer by layer, and the menacing black ayara was kept out of the umbrella.
The moment the black ayara hit the light yarn, it collapsed as if it had lost its support, and it fell to the ground softly, looking no different from ordinary strips of cloth.
The saint was shocked, and only then did she realize that something was wrong, but it was too late to escape at this timeβthe sword, which looked translucent and was not very conspicuous, instantly shone brightly, and the red flame almost pierced people's eyes. The saintess wanted to escape, but her body didn't have time to react, and the ancient fierce sword she had never seen before had already pierced deep into her heart.
A large amount of blood remained along the blade of the sword, and the holy woman lowered her head blankly, looking at the blood stains on her chest, as if she still couldn't believe the fact that it had happened. When the sharp pain in her chest hit, she spat out a mouthful of blood. But she didn't die immediately, the anger of the Red Lotus was devouring her Yuan Soul, but it deliberately slowed down the process, as if a powerful beast was playing with its prey.
"Where's the antidote?" Gu Ziyan stepped on the saint's right hand and slowly rotated the Red Lotus that ran through her body twice.
The red flame of the sword wound was scorching hotter than any flame, frantically scorching the Holy Maiden's primordial soul, but it did not leave a single actual wound. Just such a slight movement can elicit her miserable wail.
"You want to save people...... Hahahaha, no need to ask, there is no antidote to holy water at all. Even if you kill me, you won't save your foolish companions. The holy woman reluctantly raised her head and stared at Gu Ziyan hatefully.
However, Gu Ziyan laughed, not because he was angry, but with a mocking expression: "Oh, if you don't have it, forget it." β
"Y-you don't want an antidote?" Seeing him so indifferent, the expression on the saint's face stiffened.
Gu Ziyan: "I'll just ask by the way, some words are better, and it doesn't matter if you don't." More than that, I want you to enjoy the baptism of the flame, remember what you did ten years ago? β
"Ten years ago...... Ahh Before she could come up with the result, Gu Ziyan had already pulled out the Chixiao Red Lotus and drew a circle around her position that could only accommodate one person. When they met from end to end, a blue flame rose into the air, enveloping the saint like a wall. As long as it touched a little, the flames quickly boiled on her, and no matter how much they pounced, they could not be extinguished. After a few times, these movements hit more flames, and soon she was really burned into a sea of fire, and even her screams were swallowed up by the flames.
"That's ...... It's over? Yin Li, who had not moved since entering the tent, was stunned by the series of progress. She knew that Gu Ziyan was powerful, but she didn't expect him to be able to directly kill this holy woman who should at least be one of the leaders of the Black Heaven Sect in such a quick time.
Gu Ziyan put away the Chixiao Red Lotus and the Xinghe Umbrella, and said indifferently: "It's just lucky, it just so happens that I have a piece of soul jade on my body, otherwise it would be very troublesome to kill her." β
As he spoke, the effect of the soul jade slowly dissipated, and Gu Ziyan's face turned a little paler. After all, if he forcibly raised his cultivation to a whole realm, there would always be some side effects, but nothing big would happen for the time being, so he wasn't worried.
Gu Ziyan waved his hand towards the already empty fire ring, and those flames returned to the Red Lotus Sword Body with his movements. In the original circle of fire, in addition to the ashes after burning, there was also a milky white light. Naguang watched Gu Ziyan walk over, and shrank back in fear, but he couldn't get out of the circle no matter what, so he could only be caught by Gu Ziyan in his hands.
Not long after a person died, the original soul did not have the protection of the body, and it was the weakest time, and it was also the best time to search for the soul. Gu Ziyan didn't intend to ask anything from this holy woman's mouth at the beginning, because even if she asked, she wouldn't necessarily say it, and what she said might not necessarily be true. Anyway, he wanted to kill her to take revenge, so he simply waited for her soul to leave her body and search for her soul directly, which came faster than anything else.
The spirit tried to struggle in his hands, but the power was too weak, like pinching a little chick in his hands. He ignited a few clusters of dark blue flames in his fingertips, and slowly embedded them towards the trembling Yuan Soul.
Some fragments of memories began to appear in Gu Ziyan's mind one after another, and sure enough, it was not bad from what he had guessed before, the Black Heaven Sect had been researching the "holy water" that could control people a long time ago, and had been testing the medicine with various people in the past few decades to improve the effect of the medicine. Su Yao's batch should be regarded as the late stage of the test medicine, and in the end, the Black Heaven Sect finally developed a "holy water" that is colorless and tasteless, and can also work on monks. However, if the medicine is directly medicated, it is easy to arouse suspicion, so they do not hesitate to find someone to set up a game in advance - first summon a large number of resentful ghosts, use the power of the Seven Killing Monuments to guide them to kill, make a sacrifice to refine a plague, and spread the plague to the vicinity of Biluo City. Later, when the plague spread and the other parties were helpless, the Black Heaven Sect stepped forward: they mixed the antidote to the plague with "holy water" and distributed it to those infected with the plague under the pretext of helping the victims. Some of the people who had died due to the side effects of the "holy water" were treated as infected with the plague and the corpses were quickly disposed of, so no one would find out the secret. And the survivors are grateful to the Black Heaven Sect, some of them were slowly accused after drinking the "holy water", and the other part of them were not yet accused, and they were also brainwashed by the Black Heaven Sect and spontaneously joined them.
Of course, this is only the first step.
After the Black Heaven Sect gains trust and establishes a certain prestige, this plague will not end. They will continue to spread the epidemic to Biluo City and even the entire Cangtian State, and when the time comes, the Black Heaven Sect will be able to spread its power throughout the Great State. And because of the positive image they have established from the beginning, there is no legitimate reason for other sects to target them.
It's really a good calculation, but it's a pity that Gu Ziyan hit it right.
When he spoke again, Gu Ziyan's voice was a little vain: "I know about the conspiracy of the Black Heaven Sect, but there is no way to eliminate them with a few of us." This matter must be reported to the head of the Taihua Immortal Sect, and we will go back to the Su family first. β
Baizhu nodded: "We killed a saintess of the Black Heaven Sect, presumably they won't give up, it's safer to go back to Su Mansion first." β
"Wait...... Senior Brother Ziyan, is there really no antidote to the so-called 'holy water'? Yin Li's expression looked a little worried, after all, they were all the same family, and if something happened to the person who had drunk the medicine, she couldn't bear it.
"It's really not, when I searched for the soul just now......" Gu Ziyan was halfway through his words, and suddenly fell silent.
Soul searching is a technique that will cause irreversible damage to people's souls, ranging from amnesia to heart, and even some people can't bear soul searching and die directly. Therefore, at least in the Immortal Dao, soul searching has always been a forbidden technique that is rarely used, and if this technique is used in ordinary times, it is easy to be considered a demonic crooked way. But Gu Ziyan didn't have so many restrictions in the Cangming Sect before, and this trick was not used less because of convenience, and he didn't realize it for a while. It wasn't until I blurted it out that I felt that there was something wrong with what I said.
"Soul search?" When Yin Li heard these two words, he was obviously stunned.
Baizhu didn't expect Gu Ziyan to suddenly say these two words, but he and Gu Ziyan had known each other for a long time, so although he had doubts, he still came out to solve the siege: "Let's go back first, as soon as the saint dies, the barrier she set up on the tent will disappear immediately, and it will be troublesome to attract people outside." β
Yin Li hesitated, but nodded anyway.
A few people found an unguarded location, and took advantage of the darkness of the night at this time to leave the village where the Black Sky Sect was entrenched.
As soon as they returned to Su Mansion, before they had time to rest, as soon as they entered the courtyard of the guest room, Gu Ziyan and they found something strange in it. Lin Chuxia had a few people's holidays at this time, and the door was wide open, and it seemed that it was directly broken by something, and sawdust flew everywhere.
Rushing into the room in two steps, Gu Ziyan looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Master? β
Mo Yong was standing in the center of the room, and in front of him were four ice prisons, and the four people who had drunk the Black Heaven Sect's so-called plague prevention medicine before, were all locked in the ice prisons. Their eyes glazed over, and even though their limbs were locked in the ice, they struggled desperately to attack.
"Coming back?" Seeing Gu Ziyan coming in, Mo Yong asked lightly, no different from usual.
Gu Ziyan walked in front of him, and Mo Yong saw that his face was a little pale, so he raised his hand to put Gu Ziyan on his back. A pure spiritual power with a cool feeling passed down the palm of his hand, driving away the discomfort in his body little by little, and when the spiritual energy turned in his body for a little week, Gu Ziyan's face also returned to normal.
"How are they doing now?" Yin Li asked.
However, Mo Yong did not speak, but Luo Nianjin, who was the only one who survived standing behind him, stood up, and there was still a little palpitation when he spoke: "Not long after you left, I heard a strange sound in the next room. I wanted to see what was going on, but as soon as I pushed the door, they came at me like this. Fortunately, Uncle Mo Yong ...... He arrived just in time to lock them in an ice prison. β
When she said these words, Luo Nianjin's expression was a little strange, a little shy and a little annoyed, like a girl in love.
Gu Ziyan looked at her, his eyebrows jumped, it seems that this Luo Nianjin, who said that he hated Qianhan Peak, couldn't resist the charm of his master after all. It was only a long time before she immediately put herself in it.
I don't know what Elder Xuanruo of Jade Dragon Peak, who is far away in the Taihua Immortal Sect, will think after knowing this.
