Ming Shu had been guarding against him so when Zhao Desheng took the thing out, she quickly blocked it.
The thing knocked into her wrist. Ming Shu felt a shudder run through her body. She looked curiously at the thing that had dropped to the floor.
It was a piece of ancient jade. It was carved with the same symbol on the coffin. This was an object from Xi Chu.
Zhao Desheng looked at Ming Shu, who was staring at the ancient jade. She was perfectly fine. His expression turned ugly. How can it be…
Even if it was not supposed to be directed against her, she shouldn’t be safe and sound now.
Kacha!
“Ahhhhh—!”
Zhao Desheng’s wrist was broken by Ling Yan. There was a murderous aura in his eyes. He raised his leg and kicked Zhao Desheng.
Zhao Desheng fell to the ground. He grimaced in pain and took out symbol papers from his clothes. He released them and a gold light appeared, forming a shield in front of him.
Zhao Desheng got up from the ground. He held onto his injured wrist and stepped back.
However, at this moment, a tall figure passed through the golden shield and struck toward him lightning fast.
How could it be…
“You underestimated my power.” Ling Yan moved toward him step by step. His tone was so cold it seemed as though it came from Hell. “You think that those things are used to seal my power?”
“Are they not?” Zhao Desheng instinctively stepped back.
He had been researching for so many years. Weren’t those things used to seal him?
Ling Yan didn’t reply to him. He gave a cruel smile and grabbed Zhao Desheng’s neck again. “Where is Gu Yi?”
Zhao Desheng’s face turned red from the lack of air. “Why are you looking for him?”
“You gave him my power. I have to take it back.”
“Your power?” Zhao Desheng was confused. “What about your… power.”
Gu Yi was awakened by him. At the start, Su Tong was supposed to be a tribute to Gu Yi, but things happened. Luckily, he didn’t fail. Gu Yi still appeared.
However, Zhao Desheng was not satisfied with Gu Yi. He was very hard to manage. This time when they came to Anfeng County, he felt that Gu Yi had other intentions even though he was listening to him.
Gu Yi was dangerous. However, the two 2000-year-old spirits in front of him were even more dangerous.
“I… I don’t know…” Zhao Desheng had difficulty talking. “When we came up the mountain, he… disappeared.”
Ling Yan didn’t care if Zhao Desheng was speaking the truth or not. “He will come.”
With such an attractive power, how could Gu Yi not come?
Ling Yan threw Zhao Desheng into the golden shield, which had not disappeared. He landed right in the middle of the Taoist master team.
“An Ge!”
Xie Hui’s anxious scream stunned Ling Yan. He dashed out of the golden shield. The shield broke into sparks and disappeared into the air.
“What are you shouting at?” Ming Shu’s lazy voice sounded. “Who are you trying to scare?”
Xie Hui: “…”
Ling Yan saw Ming Shu standing there all safe and sound and strode over. “What happened.”
Ming Shu opened her hand. The ancient jade was broken in two.
“I just pinched it and it broke.” Ming Shu was puzzled. “So brittle.”
Xie Hui had a lingering fear. Just now, the light that the ancient jade emitted almost seemed to suck her away. However, when Ling Yan appeared, the light disappeared and she stood there safe and sound, as though nothing had happened.
“Can it still be used?” Ming Shu asked.
If she didn’t break the ancient jade just now, she might have gotten into trouble.
“It’s okay,” Ling Yan consoled her.
However. Ming Shu and Ling Yan knew that something big was going to happen.
When the ancient jade wasn’t broken, his body already had such a reaction. Now that the jade was broken, no one knew what would happen.
Ming Shu held Ling Yan’s hand tightly and smiled at him.
Ling Yan had a warm feeling in his heart.
Nevermind, I will go back to the 19th level and stay there for some time.
…
Zhao Desheng was caught. He still didn’t know why he failed. He had calculated every step precisely and that was why he dared to come today. How did he land in such a situation?
“Wait, I have something to ask him.”
Zhao Desheng didn’t want to leave. He stared straight at Ling Yan.
“If the ancient jade is not used to seal your power, what is it used for?”
Ling Yan said coldly, “To keep me conscious.”
It was meant to make sure that those things would not be able to control him. However, he never mentioned before that when those things didn’t control him, his powers would decrease. They used the same body. The strength of the body would never change. It only depended on who was in charge of it.
Something flashed past Zhao Desheng’s mind. After a long time, he laughed. “No wonder, no wonder…”
Zhao Desheng didn’t want to give up. However, there was a mistake in his plan. He couldn’t blame anyone.
He shouldn’t have been so impatient.
It was all because of Gu Yi…
He kept urging him.
If he had more time, he would discover all this.
Gu Yi…
Zhao Desheng understood everything now. Gu Yi was using him. He thought that he could make use of Gu Yi but in the end, he got used by him.
Such irony.
When he first heard of Xi Chu, he was still very young. As he grew up, he started to forget about the story of Xi Chu. However, one day, he suddenly saw Xi Chu again.
At that time, he was not satisfied with the mundane cultivation of a Taoist master. He wanted to look for something more exciting.
Xi Chu was like a sun that lit up a path in front of him.
The priest that was buried alive. The Xi Chu where demons raged.
After that, he started finding evidence that Xi Chu existed and it made him confirm his hypothesis. It was not a legend made up by people.
But, the information that he had was too lacking. He couldn’t get any more information. Hence, he started looking for other ways.
Some of these methods used were forbidden in the Taoist master world. That time, he wanted to drag a 2000-year-old ghost from Hell but failed.
The people from the Taoist master world thought that he was practicing some sorcery. Actually, it was sorcery. He thought that he must be crazy to snatch a ghost from Hell.
He ran away. He heard that something big happened in Hell that time and he was pleased. He could even wreak havoc in Hell.
He wanted more power.
Zhao Desheng was unwilling to accept defeat. He muttered dejectedly, “Just a little bit… just a little bit.”
The Taoist masters had their own rules. Hence, Zhao Desheng was taken away by them.
“An Ge…” Zhao Desheng suddenly turned his head. A sinister smile formed in his eyes. “He will come and find you. Hahahaha.”
Ling Yan’s Yin Qi started to get uncontrollable. The Taoist masters were frightened. They didn’t know how Zhao Desheng’s words provoked him and immediately dragged Zhao Desheng out.
“He is coming to find you… he is coming to find you… hahahahahahaha…”
Zhao Desheng’s carried came from outside the stone temple. It was shrill and piercing to the ear.
