The purple-black thunder and lightning was not completely absorbed the moment it came into contact with the black mist. Instead, it wandered around the black air, wreaking unparalleled destructive power on Gui Ming's original body.
, Gui Ming still has no intention of giving in.
The thunder tribulation showed no signs of dissipating, and the first one was indeed absorbed by Guiming. However, the dense dark clouds in the sky and the lightning surging in them all showed that this was not the end, but the beginning of the real disaster.
After resisting the first sky thunder, Black Qi fell to the ground and turned into a human form. Indeed, no substantial damage could be seen on Gui Ming's body. The moment he landed on the ground, he spat out a large amount of blood. The thunder tribulation was to clear up karma.
Sanctions, and Gui Ming as a nightmare, in order to protect Dongfang Yaoyao, countless lives died in his hands, but he knew very well that if he did not resist this thunder, he would be alive in the memories of others.
Dongfang Yaoyao, who is weak in consciousness, will be chopped into powder by Zi Lei in an instant.
He was born for her, and as long as it was for her, even if he lost his life, it was not something worth hesitating about.
And Dongfang Yaoyao also ended the retrieval of memories after returning to the underworld. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and even filled with mist - as if he was crying.
She wasn't even sure whether she needed to continue pursuing it, but when she saw Gui Ming lying on the side, she rushed over immediately and slowly helped Gui Ming up. His body began to change uncontrollably.
It was very transparent, and a hazy black air was emanating from the body.
Bu Tianxuan also ran over. Gui Ming was now extremely weak. Dongfang Yaoyao's eyes were also rarely filled with confusion and panic. The arms holding Gui Ming were trembling slightly - she looked up to look at the still thundering lightning.
Sky--
"Is it a thunderstorm?"
Bu Tianxuan nodded and looked at the man who was still standing aside with some fear -
"We were about to succeed, but the thunder suddenly appeared and attacked you... Gui Mingjiu..."
As she spoke, the bloodshot eyes that appeared in Dongfang Yaoyao's eyes due to excessive sadness condensed into the result of anger. With an evil smile on her lips, she looked up at the sky where thunder snakes were surging, knowing that this chaos must be resolved in one direction.
After making a compromise, she raised her eyes and looked at the white-haired man. He was still so calm and content, as if the panic caused by the two people's cooperation just now never existed at all——
"Did you bring about the thunder?"
Outside Dongfang Yaoyao's clenched fist, his nails penetrated his palm, and blood flowed down.
She hurt her important people again and again, but she still had to compromise in the face of such power. How could she not be angry? How could she not be annoyed?!
But Dongfang Yaoyao also knows one thing. She cannot accept losing more. Rather than seeking revenge, what she needs to do now is to protect everyone around her!
"What you have done is against heaven. Even if I don't summon the thunder, heaven's punishment will come back to you sooner or later!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"
But Dongfang Yaoyao just wants to laugh, what kind of rebellion, what kind of sanctions? In the final analysis, it is just an excuse to exploit these inhuman things! It is just a high-sounding reason for them to squeeze their right to survive!
But even if she knows all this, she doesn't have the ability to break through this layer of window paper. So what if the truth comes out? In the face of absolute power, even if their position is not absolutely correct, how many people will stand up and resist?
The woman laughed wildly and wildly, but that laughter made the man quite afraid.
"Since this is retribution caused by me, and I have also touched a part of you that cannot be seen... why don't we make a deal!"
The man raised his eyebrows, and there was unquestionable determination in the woman's eyes. She turned to Bu Tianxuan and ordered——
"After I leave, you must take good care of yourselves."
And the moment the woman finished saying this, Bu Tianxuan could clearly feel that some kind of bond between them and her was unilaterally forcibly severed by the woman, and his body suddenly became full of energy.
The power also told him a cruel fact.
Dongfang Yaoyao took the initiative to terminate the blood contract between all the clerks and her!!!
As a heavenly soldier, Bu Tianxuan formed a blood contract with a monster, so her own power would naturally be suppressed. The return of her power also meant that the connection between her and him was completely severed.
In Xiangyou Xinsheng, Zuoqiu Shi, who was still cooking, also felt the severed connection. The kitchen knife in his hand slipped directly and fell on the chopping board.
Yan Cha was washing vegetables, and when he saw Zuo Qiu Shi's extremely pale face, he immediately felt that something bad must have happened.
"Brother Zuoqiu...what's wrong?"
Zuoqiu's lips were so frightened that they turned bloodless——
"Master...why...why..."
"You talk about a deal? The initiative of Lei Jie is in my hands. What capital do you have to negotiate a deal with me?"
The woman grinned. She had now canceled all the blood contracts. If her sacrifice could buy their safety, she didn't care much whether it was life or death.
What's more... only in this way can she get closer to her goal of revenge.
"How much do you think I can know from the charred corpse just now?" The woman smiled brightly, "I bet you don't know the truth, so I will put it here. If you insist on using thunder to annihilate us,
, then the moment I die, gods, demons and monsters from all walks of life will know the true face of your heaven!"
The powerlessness and shock in Bu Tianxuan's heart were aroused at the same time. He supported Gui Ming and wanted to speak to persuade Dongfang Yaoyao to stay, but nothing could be said.
If Dongfang Yaoyao doesn't do this, all of them will die here - but is this the reason why she is willing to die alone?
He did not think that the woman could escape unscathed after falling into the hands of Heaven this time. If, as she said, she knew the dark side of Heaven through the memory retrieval of the soul, then they would not let her go easily. After all,
No one in the world can keep secrets better than a corpse.
The man frowned, and when he met the woman's burning eyes, he couldn't tell the depth of emotion in those scarlet eyes.
He only received an order to recover the rebellious monsters, but the specific content was beyond his authority.
If Dongfang Yaoyao really knew something ulterior from the soul remaining on the scorched corpse, then her threat would be enough to attract attention.
Moreover, he did not fully understand this woman's methods. If fatal information was really leaked, he would not be able to bear the consequences of being held accountable.
After a simple measurement, he still stared at Dongfang Yaoyao with extremely gloomy eyes——
"I can't guarantee your safety after going to heaven, no matter what happens."
"Of course, you only need to promise me to evacuate Lei Jie now and not to attack my people in the future. I will follow you obediently immediately. This will eliminate risks and reduce casualties. It's a beautiful thing~~"
The woman waved her hands as if she didn't care at all, as if she didn't care what would happen to her after this.
The man looked at the extremely evil and sycophantic woman and immediately didn't know what to say, but he just sighed——
"I will cancel the thunder tribulation. You come with me."
After saying that, the white-haired man raised his arms high, and the dense dark clouds in the sky dispersed instantly, and the surging thunder snake disappeared completely after the dark clouds dispersed.
"Let's go."
The man stretched out his hand towards Dongfang Yaoyao, and the woman also reached out to her in a dignified manner.
Bu Tianxuan was speechless until he saw the woman's figure disappearing in front of him together with the man.
"Brother Zuoqiu! What happened?!"
Yan Sha hugged Zuo Qiu Shi's waist, and the invisible wall made of mantras in front of him gradually melted and disintegrated as the breath disappeared.
"I have to find her! Master... Master... why is she..."
"So what happened to Yaoyao? You should explain it clearly!"
Zuoqiu Shi is an earth-bound spirit. Although he has been released from the bondage now, Yan Sha still has not forgotten the precautions that Dongfang Yaoyao inadvertently mentioned to him——
No matter what happens, don't let the Zuoqiu eclipse leave the door of rebirth, otherwise something irreversible will definitely happen.
Even though Yan Sha didn't know exactly what would happen, he had always followed Dongfang Yaoyao's teachings, and Yan Sha had some understanding of how serious the consequences would be once the Earthbound Spirit forcibly left the place it was besieging.
"Master...where are you going?"
In the chaos, Gui Ming couldn't even see the former's appearance, but with just a vague back figure, he could tell that the other party was Dongfang Yaoyao, whom he had been pursuing for many years.
Unprecedented panic arose in his heart, and he dragged his scarred body forward slowly. When he finally found the enchanting back in the thick fog, the person turned into countless fragments the moment he raised his hand, and was finally destroyed.
A gust of wind sent him to a place far beyond his reach.
"Master?! Where are you going?! Master——!!!!"
This nightmare almost deprived Gui Ming of all meaning of existence. He screamed and woke up from his dream, only to find himself in the familiar bedroom of Xianyou's new life.
Zuo Qiu Shi's pale face was finally stained with a little blood when Gui Ming woke up. Even if it couldn't be offset, it was still a blessing in misfortune - "It's the main thing! You finally woke up!"
As he spoke, he slowly supported Gui Ming, who was struggling to get out of bed. Zuoqiu Shi could understand his mood, but obviously now was not the time to allow him to act recklessly——
"I have already heard what happened from Bu Tianxuan. You have tried your best... Master, there must be her reasons for doing this!"
Gui Ming sneered——
"Zuoqiu, can you convince yourself of this?" Gui Ming looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, and the impact of the thunder disaster had not completely subsided. "She clearly knew that even if we shared the responsibility, we wouldn't be able to share the same responsibility.
Complaints and wavering, even so - she still chooses to face it alone!!!"
After punching the wall, Gui Ming seemed to feel no pain at all.
"..." Zuo Qiushi naturally knew the facts, but he didn't dare to express his emotions as frankly as Gui Ming. How could he not be angry or annoyed? It's just that he always had a humble posture, and he didn't see it with his own eyes.
The master has left me, so I can only use these pale reasons to deceive myself.
He didn't want to be side by side with his master, but he was afraid... Apart from awe and worship, how could he taint such a noble and beautiful person with any unnecessary emotions, and how could he measure her from the perspective of his companions?
In the end, he just felt that he was not worthy.
"Zuoqiu, the blood contract between you and your master is the most closely established. When the blood contract was severed, were there any extra clues?"
Because his own existence can only be maintained by the aura of the store and the supply of Dongfang Yaoyao's blood contract, Zuoqiu Shi can always feel all the situations of Dongfang Yaoyao at the first time. Gui Ming looks at him with ardent hope.
, he closed his eyes silently and recalled, recalling everything he felt at the moment the blood contract was severed——
The picture he could see was broken and incomplete——
Flames, cries, grief and anger, howling... these were all things that Dongfang Yaoyao had truly felt before. The scene switched quickly until Zuo Qiu Shi found himself in a room with all kinds of ferocious masks hanging on the walls.
At this time, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. Such memories were very damaging to the Earthbound Spirit who had lost support. However, he did not show any signs of fatigue, but instead showed an expression of ecstasy.
"It's a mask!! The master left something in the mask!"
After Gui Ming got the clue provided by Zuoqiu Shi, she felt excited and staggered about to get up——
Zuoqiu Shi didn't intend to stop him. Even he couldn't wait now, let alone return to the underworld.
Getting new hints from the mask room is the top priority now, and it's worth the effort!
Seeing Gui Ming leaving the room and heading towards the inner room in a hurry, Bu Tianxuan followed him without saying anything.
No matter what decision they made, it was definitely for the good of that woman. In this case, he had nothing to hesitate.
Yan Sha also followed Bu Tianxuan and walked over. The four men just broke open the door of the mask room. This was also the first time that the four of them entered this room without Dongfang Yaoyao.
After Gui Ming entered the room, he raised his hand and waved, and black air came out of his sleeves, then filled the entire room. He gently held all the masks and fell to the ground, covering the ground in an instant.
Gui Ming looked at these masks with various faces and frowned——
Each mask carries the demon power of Dongfang Yaoyao, and as long as the soul of the contractor is immortal, the mask will not be damaged.
In this room alone, hundreds of masks have been placed, and the era when the contract was concluded and the identity of the contractor are completely different.
It would be a big project to find the demon power mask here that contains information about Dongfang Yaoyao's whereabouts.
Zuo Qiu Shi looked around and didn't feel any extra clues in the memory fragments, so he could only sigh helplessly——
"That's the end of the reminder. I'm afraid the next step will be..."
Gui Ming did not waver - "Then search one by one, you will always find it!"
As he spoke, he began to kneel on the ground and look through the masks one by one. He instilled power into each one and examined them carefully. He refused to let go of any possibility.
Each mask carries a story, depicts the true beauty of that era, and is an irreplaceable memory of her death together.
Entering a new memory, Gui Ming's eyes were also filled with mist, and there was nostalgia in his eyes - it would be great if we could go back to the days when we were together in the past, so swaying but still together!
Deep in the mountains, on a winding muddy path, a woman is dressed in green, and Gui Ming behind her is wearing a coarse short shirt, walking towards the village from the mist. It is strange to say that it has just rained, and entering from the outside world.
There is still some distance in the mountains, but there is still not a trace of mud on these two people.
The appearance of the woman emerging from the mortal world has attracted the attention of many people. Even if they know little about the mortal world, they can still enjoy the pleasing sight of Dongfang Yaoyao's features.
Dongfang Yaoyao also looked at everything in this small mountain village with approving eyes and a bright smile.
In such a time of war and chaos, it is indeed a rare comfort to be able to be as peaceful and contented as in a small mountain village.
"Master, what exactly are we here for..."
Dongfang Yaoyao stepped forward, and Gui Ming followed closely - the two of them strolled among the mountain trails
"Isn't this also because I heard rumors..." Dongfang Yaoyao put his hands behind his back, looking leisurely and contented.
"You...you mean you heard it in the market before..."
Two days ago——
"Hey! Have you heard about it?"
In the market, people were coming and going, but Dongfang Yaoyao and Gui Ming were each wearing veils and bamboo hats, sitting in the teahouse seats next to the road, listening to the rumors.
"I heard that in a mountain village not far away, someone saw a female ghost possessed by evil spirits with his own eyes!"
"Female ghost? What kind of thing? Our generation is also very peaceful. Are you lying?"
"Oh, I haven't heard that! It is said that the female ghost lives in the village in the mountain village, and she has an evil spirit that moves on her face! It's very scary!"
As they spoke, the two woodcutters walking side by side walked away, while Dongfang Yaoyao stood up, with a playful smile on his face covered by a veil.
The hunting intensity of the Demon Hunting Guild has also become more intense, and it is now becoming more and more difficult to find a suitable shelter.
But Dongfang Yaoyao didn't care at all, and acted as before. Although it was not a big fanfare, he also began to pay attention to the temporary residence to hide from the world. Nowadays, the days are not scary, but the restraint has also increased a lot——
Just when Gui Ming was about to ask a question, Dongfang Yaoyao had already turned around and followed the two woodcutters.
"Owner?"
While he was surprised, Dongfang Yaoyao turned around and reached into his arms. He rummaged for a while, took out some knives and coins, and then followed the two woodcutters who were still discussing.
"You two, stay here!" Dongfang Yaoyao said and walked up to the two people, "Can you tell me in detail the rumors about that woman just now?"
After saying that, he put the knife coins in his hands into the hands of the two of them. The denominations given were not small, and the attitude of the two woodcutter suddenly became attentive.
After getting detailed rumors about the "female ghost", Dongfang Yaoyao sent the two of them away with money, and then they hurried to this mountain village together.
The two of them were relatively speechless on the road, but after all, Gui Ming couldn't help but be curious——
"Master...what is the origin of that female ghost? And why do you..."
The two of them disguised themselves as farmers collecting herbs in the mountains, carrying baskets on their backs and walking on the rugged mountain road. Mountain flowers were everywhere, and walking among them was quite interesting.
"Do you know the legend of the Dragon Saliva Girl?"
"Daughter of Ambergris?"
Gui Ming seems to have some vague impressions, but are they very clear? Dongfang Yaoyao raised his index finger and explained——
"There is an ambergris box in the palace that was passed down from the Xia Dynasty. It is said that it was a treasure left by the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty when they prayed to heaven. After three dynasties, no one dared to open it. In the last years of Zhou Li, King Li opened it and looked at it. The saliva flowed into the palace.
, could not be removed. King Zhou Li ordered the women to get naked and shout loudly at it, and the saliva turned into a black lizard and rushed to King Zhou Li's harem. There was a maid in the harem who was just seven or eight years old and encountered it. Zhou
During the reign of King Xuan, this maid became pregnant when she came of age and gave birth to a child without a husband. She was very afraid and abandoned the child."
"Amber...lizard..."
Gui Ming suddenly remembered that when he asked the two woodcutter for information, the evil spirit on the female ghost's face that they mentioned was also a black lizard!
Dongfang Yaoyao then added——
"The girl was abandoned on the roadside and her whereabouts are still unknown..."
"Do you suspect... that the rumored female ghost is the child abandoned by the maid?"
Dongfang Yaoyao nodded——
"Yes, and the age is also right. If it is really the rumored dragon-saliva girl, we can get a lot of benefits from her!"
Gui Ming looked at Dongfang Yaoyao rubbing his chin and thinking loudly in his mind, and suddenly felt his heart lighten.
Seeing how confident she was, there was no need to worry.
Zuoqiu Shi almost used all his spiritual power to attack the formation that was usually used to protect the store and himself——
However, the barrier reinforced by Dongfang Yaoyao was not something he could break through on his own. He was so hard that his body became unreal, but he still had no intention of giving in.
"Brother Zuoqiu! You should tell me what happened!!!"
Yan Cha also knew that something had happened to Dongfang Yaoyao, and he was worried about Zuo Qiu Shi's condition. The fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body tended to become turbid, which was quite ominous.
Zuo Qiu Shi also regained his consciousness under Yan Sha's efforts to stop him. He leaned on the wall made of incantations with his hands into fists and slowly slid down, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
"Master...Master...she is no longer in this world..."
Yan Cha just had the strength to fight, but he fell to the ground after hearing Zuo Qiu Shi's words.
"What do you mean...what do you mean?!"
Rushing forward and grabbing Zuo Qiu Shi's clothes, Yan Sha's eyes turned red instantly——
"Impossible! You are lying to me, right? Nothing happened to her...how could something happen to her?!"
The young man's eyes turned completely scarlet, but Zuo Qiushi's eyes were even more desperate than his -
"The master took the initiative to cut off the connection with the blood contract. Not only that..."
Zuoqiu Shi raised his hand and pointed at the rapidly dissolving formation——
"If she were still in the human world, the formation wouldn't be like this..."
