Chapter 139 A Trip to Penglai (32)
Chapter 139 A Trip to Penglai (32)
Dead silence—
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Su Wusi felt the temperature of the inner core in his hand, and the pungent smell of blood made him want to vomit.
I'm alive.
She chuckled, thinking how fortunate she was.
"Hehehe..."
A warm, slightly fishy-smelling liquid flowed back into her nasal cavity, causing her to choke a few times as she struggled to stand up.
Consciousness returned.
"Senior Brother Ye..."
"Senior Sister Nie..."
She didn't dare approach the bloodied figure lying at her feet to see who it was.
She wanted to laugh, but at the same time, she was crying.
What's going on here?
She deserved to starve to death by the roadside and be torn apart by wild dogs; why did she have to go through all that?
Senior sister, take me with you.
Overwhelmed by grief, she drowned in it, unable to breathe.
"Hehehe, you all deserve to die..."
Wen Lian miraculously survived. He held a broken sword in his hand and plunged it into the bones beside him.
"Die, all of you die! You ants, you all deserve to die!"
"Ho ho..."
With all her might, Su Wusi pierced the man's chest with her sword. Blood trickled into his eyes, and covered in blood, she looked like a demon from hell.
"From now on, we're family."
"It's alright, don't be afraid, your senior sister is here."
"Wusi, why are you alone? Come on, your senior sister bought some osmanthus cake, have a taste."
"Junior sister, look! This sword strike of mine can definitely defeat senior brother!"
"Junior sister, slow down, don't fall."
"Junior sister, let me teach you how to draw talismans."
"My good disciple, don't worry, your master will cover for you."
……
If it weren't for the Wen family, she would probably be on Xianyun Peak with her senior sisters and the others right now.
It's all their fault.
He raised and lowered his sword tirelessly, his men's corpses long since chopped into a pulp.
"Junior Sister Su..."
Ye Xiao's hand trembled slightly as he held hers, but he still pulled her into a strong embrace: "It's alright, it's alright, he's dead, it's alright..."
Su Wusi wouldn't listen to reason, so Ye Xiao had no choice but to snatch the sword from her hand.
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Ignoring his own wounds, Ye Xiao gently patted Su Wusi's back, trying to comfort her like Luo Zai Shui did.
"It's alright, it's over..."
Su Wusi regained consciousness, saw the person's face clearly, but before she could say anything, she fainted.
At this moment, Luo Zai Shui was in tears. She had witnessed firsthand how cruel the battle was and how lucky Su Wu Si was to have survived.
A tremendous gravitational force suddenly pulled her, and the world plunged into darkness once more.
"I am Feng Ling."
A huge phoenix stood before Su Wusi, its outstretched golden wings displaying its majesty.
Su Wusi was clearly somewhat bewildered by the current situation, and Luo Zaishui was also somewhat confused.
"I didn't expect that the one who came would be a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Su Wusi opened his palm, and there stood a glowing inner core.
Feng Ling arrogantly raised her chin: "This is your proof that you came to see me."
"Oh."
Su Wusi sneered: "I didn't come here to see you. The fact that you're still alive makes our trip worthwhile. Just stay hidden and don't let them find you again."
Feng Ling asked, puzzled, "But what happened outside?"
Although Feng Ling has been in a deep sleep for many years, it is still aware of the changes in the ancient spiritual energy in the outside world.
Su Wusi was silent for a moment: "Someone wants ancient spiritual power. They came to the secret realm this time with their eyes on you."
Feng Ling fell into an eerie silence: "Is there really someone who wants to take a shortcut to immortality?"
“I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but I know I’ve already lost too much because of this.”
Feng Ling flapped her wings: "Human, I can help you."
What can you do to help me?
Feng Ling tilted her head and carefully examined her for a moment: "Are you in a lot of pain?"
Su Wusi shrugged: "Maybe, I don't even know what kind of expression I have right now."
Feng Ling folded her wings and moved closer: "Human, you taste so bitter. The source of all human suffering is insufficient strength. I can help you become stronger, but there is one condition, which is what you humans often call a deal."
Su Wusi asked without hesitation, "What are your requirements?"
"Kill those who covet the ancient spiritual power for me."
Su Wusi said coldly, "Killing one Wen family member will only lead to the Qi family and the Wang family. As long as the secret of ancient spiritual power is leaked, these things will never end."
Phoenix Spirit clearly hadn't considered this. It lowered its head and pondered for a moment: "Then let this ancient spiritual power return to heaven and earth. Do you know about the Snow Spirit bloodline? Find the successor of the Snow Spirit bloodline, use her blood to return this spiritual power to heaven and earth, and all of this will end."
Su Wusi's eyes dimmed for a moment: "She is dead."
"Dead? It's alright, Xue Ling should have left behind many descendants..."
“They’re all dead.” Su Wusi interrupted it. “The person I knew, the only one with the Snow Spirit bloodline, is already dead…”
Feng Ling was silent for a moment: "She is very important to you? Your aura seems to be more painful."
Su Wusi slowly squatted down, holding her head in her hands: "What should I do?"
Feng Ling tilted her head: "She's right here."
Suddenly, Luo Zai Shui and Feng Ling's eyes met.
"She's gone..."
"She's there."
"Gone..."
Feng Ling tilted her head and suddenly understood: "You can't see her, but I can."
Su Wusi looked up, somewhat suspiciously: "Is she there?"
She stood up awkwardly: "Senior sister... Senior sister..."
Luo stepped forward and tried to take her hand, but it slipped through her palm.
"She is right beside you."
“How about this, we’ll change the deal.” Feng Ling looked at Luo Zai Shui. “I’ll give you a chance to go back and save people, but on the condition that you deal with the Wen family you mentioned.”
Su Wusi's voice trembled as she asked, "Really?"
Feng Ling nodded: "I never lie, but after you go back, you will forget everything we talked about today, and you... may not succeed, but this is the will of Heaven."
The meaning of "Heaven's Way" was spoken to Luo Zai Shui.
This already counts as cheating.
Although Su Wusi had forgotten some things, Luo Zai Shui returned with her sealed memories. Once her memories were regained, she knew exactly what to do.
"I agree."
"As long as it can save my senior sister..."
"As long as we can save everyone..."
"As long as we can still get together, I will do anything."
"Senior sister, please watch me break all of this."
Through her teary eyes, she seemed to see the person from her dream, laughing with her.
"Junior sister, we'll be waiting for you in the future."
……
When she woke up, Luo Zai Shui raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
Pushing open the door, you're greeted by dazzling yet warm sunlight.
"Senior sister! Thank goodness! You're alright!"
Xue Xin, standing outside the door, had red eyes. It was unclear whether he had stayed up several nights or secretly wiped away tears.
"I am fine."
Xie Jing looked much more haggard: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Luo Zai Shui resolutely knelt on the ground. Xie Jing subconsciously tried to stop her, but Luo Zai Shui kowtowed three times.
“Master, the fact that Xianyun Peak is still safe and sound is thanks to my junior sister’s efforts. I am an unfilial disciple, and I cannot let my junior sister bear this burden alone. I must go and save them.”
Xie Jing helped her up, knowing she had made her decision: "If that's the case, then go ahead. Take good care of yourself. Don't worry, your master will take care of everything."
Luo Zai Shui drew his sword and prepared to leave.
Xue Xin caught up with her: "Senior sister, don't leave me behind."
Xie Jing nodded, indicating that he had agreed.
Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "Let's go pick them up and take them home."
