When Tian Yi was possessed, his eyes were also inhumane.
No, unlike the oppressive aura felt at that time, she might be of a higher rank than the one who possessed Tian Yi!
The previous one hadn't been dealt with, and now another more powerful one appeared. Was Heaven really trying to destroy them?!
The person in green ignored Gu Junshi, who was closest to him. His hair was disheveled, his neck had a strange, forward-bent, swaying posture, and his limbs were noticeably stiff and slow. He walked without touching the ground, his toes pointed downwards.
Coupled with the rotten, foul corpse energy emanating from him, it was enough to prove that he was no longer alive but had transformed into a Jiangshi.
Before, he had only been incessantly banging on the iron chains, creating a sense of urgency, without any intention of chasing. It was unclear if he had reservations or wanted to watch them struggle a bit longer.
Actually, neither was true.
He was evolving.
Evidently, its evolution was now complete.
At this moment, the green-clothed figure floated up, rising several zhang in an instant. Its dry, black hair unfurled like a snake, revealing a face as pale as paper, with red eyes and black lips, resembling a Jiangshi ghost that ate raw meat, killed without blinking.
"This, this evil creature... is it a Fei Jiang?"
Good heavens!
Elder Jiu Li finally saw its true form and couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing that it had made a move, Chen Daoshan, willing to endure the howling ghosts and monsters tearing at him, stubbornly pushed forward, blocking with his arms, and urged them loudly, "Hurry!"
But it was clearly too late. The black armor on the green-clothed Fei Jiang's hands suddenly lengthened, shooting forward. The disciples of the Void Gate behind Chen Daoshan naturally bore the brunt. They felt an ominous cold wind blow behind them, their bodies trembled, and a scream in their throats was almost suppressed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over...
This sentence kept looping uncontrollably in their minds, and they couldn't think of anything else.
Bang—
A dull thud of a body being hit echoed. The expected danger, however, did not arrive. Shaking their legs, they looked back and saw the ordinary person in plain white with red eyes actually grabbing the green-clothed Fei Jiang's messy hair, forcefully and domineeringly dragging him back across the cliff.
"..."
Because this scene was too bizarre and incredible, they were momentarily at a loss for how to react.
Roar—
"Let go of me—"
The green-clothed Fei Jiang felt no pain. He was pulled backward, his entire body arched, his sharp claws dangling without actively attacking. He instinctively felt that this person was very dangerous.
He wanted to avoid her, but he could never get past her.
Gu Junshi, with a blank expression, yanked him. Elder Jiu Li and the others couldn't die yet. If they died, who would take the little pampered husband to the "Newcomer Ranking"?
Her eyes changed, returning to human black. She looked at the people on the suspension bridge, her expression showing struggle and forbearance. She said, "You all go quickly, I can't hold on much longer."
After speaking, the color of her eyeballs abruptly shifted back to a sinister red, cold and indifferent.
This series of changes, coupled with her words, made it seem as though she was using all her willpower to fight against the evil energy within her, seeking a path of survival for them.
This also explained why she, possessed and turned into an evil spirit, would instead help them by restraining the green-clothed Fei Jiang.
At such a time, true feelings were indeed revealed in adversity.
The people of the Great Yan Sect immediately lost their previous disdain and aversion towards her. Instead, they were deeply moved by the resilience and determination of an ordinary mortal fighting against an evil spirit.
Except for Ghost Infant.
...You are probably unaware of her true strength, which is why you naively believe she is truly controlled by an evil spirit.
Sigh.
Ghost Infant truly couldn't understand what she intended to do.
She kills, she saves, with no logic or reason.
Both righteous and evil.
The disciples of the Void Gate, seeing the two evil spirits fighting each other, were overjoyed. They no longer cared about the reason and hastily turned around to continue crossing the bridge.
Tan Ya was pulled up by Fang Rui, but he stubbornly stood on the iron chain bridge, refusing to leave. His jade-green eyes stared coldly at Gu Yi. Seeing his expression, Fang Rui felt both estranged and alarmed.
But seeing Elder Jiu Li and the others approaching, she had no choice but to persuade him, "Senior Brother, Gu Yi is now an evil spirit. Even that green-clothed Fei Jiang can't do anything to her. She just attacked you, clearly not recognizing you. It's possible that in the next second, she might lose control and kill all of us."
At this moment, Elder Jiu Li, seeing that they hadn't moved, felt his head buzzing with anxiety and roared, "Hurry and cross the bridge!"
That palm strike was not light. Tan Ya felt his internal organs twisting in pain. He pursed his pale lips, took one last look at Gu Yi, but had no choice but to turn around and return with them to their starting point.
The light portal for teleportation was shifted by the Fei Jiang. This world seemed to possess a mysterious force that suppressed spirit realm cultivators, instead nourishing and strengthening the ghosts and monsters.
If they wanted to leave this realm, they had to find another way.
After everyone on the "Heart's Reflection" bridge had crossed, on the lonely and empty cliff peaks, a suspension bridge, and a group of malevolent spirits fueled by blood karma, only Gu Junshi and the green-clothed figure who had become a Fei Jiang remained.
The green-clothed Fei Jiang had little intelligence. Realizing he couldn't break free no matter how much he struggled, he stomped his legs and sat down on the ground, waiting for her to let go.
Gu Junshi lowered her gaze.
Is this the Han Ba, who centuries later would emerge from "Du Sheng Guan" and create a torrential sea of karma?
She pulled up his stiff face.
Ugly, and simple-minded.
She had heard every word of the chaotic conversation of the Void Gate disciples earlier.
It was someone named Tian Yi who killed Gu Chuhao.
And it was also this same Tian Yi who underwent a mutation and became the current green-clothed Fei Jiang.
Gu Chuhao.
Gu Er.
A name similar to Gu Yi's younger brother.
If it was indeed him, then like his sister, he truly had the fate of a cannon fodder who died young.
Gu Junshi dragged the unwilling, sharp-toothed green-clothed Fei Jiang along. Following the strong scent of blood, she walked to a desolate stone forest behind the cliff, where a young man lay dead, his abdomen ripped open, a tragic sight.
Although his face was distorted with pain from before death, Gu Junshi recognized him at a glance.
This was because Gu Er and Gu Yi looked like a pair of siblings.
Blood relations could indeed be subtle.
"Gu Er..."
Considering he was related to the original body, she decided to forgo the troublesome matter of resurrection. Treating it as a way to sever karma, Gu Junshi could reopen the "Gate of the Yellow Springs" to send her brother to reincarnate.
When she became stronger, if he had requests, she could also arrange a better family background for him, such as a prince or a noble son in the mortal realm.
She reached her hand towards the corpse, intending to summon the soul...
Huh?
The next second, Gu Junshi's expression turned cold.
Why was only an empty shell left?
Where was Gu Er's soul?
