Chapter 65 The Silly Crimson Cloud Immortal (4,000-word chapter)
Looking at the strange and powerful figure below who was playing with her magical artifact, Yu Zhao was extremely flustered. However, the more flustered she was, the colder her expression became.
He seemed as steady as a rock, fearless and undaunted.
"Senior sister, should we fight or not?"
Shen Yunshu asked quietly, seemingly already eager to try.
These words earned Yu Zhao rolling his eyes at her, thinking to himself that this little green tea was really stubborn. How could they, one at the Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Qi Refining stage, possibly fight against such an unknown and powerful expert?
"Let's go downstairs, be quick-witted."
Yu Zhao finally decided to go down and make contact with this strange man. This stalemate couldn't go on, and she couldn't just abandon the bronze coffin.
After giving Shen Yunshu a brief instruction, she descended from the sky with the Emperor's Banner on her head and a mourning staff in her hand. She arrived in front of the strange man, held the mourning staff upside down, clasped her hands in a salute, and said, "Junior Yu Zhao greets Senior. May I ask what Senior means by taking my magical artifact? If Senior finds this artifact interesting, I can lend it to you to play with for a few days, but only after I return, as I have important matters to attend to at the moment."
Originally, the strange man's attention was focused on the bronze coffin, but after hearing Yu Zhao's words, he looked up and saw the Emperor's Banner floating above Yu Zhao's head, and his eyes revealed a look of doubt.
He didn't speak, but his voice reached Yu Zhao's ears, "Little one, this banner of yours is the Demonic Treasure, the Myriad Souls Banner, isn't it? Why does it look like this?"
His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time. It was an unpleasant sound, but hearing it, Yu Zhao felt a sense of relief.
It's good that we can communicate; if we can communicate, it means we have something to talk about.
"I dare not deceive you, senior. This item is indeed the Myriad Souls Banner, a supreme treasure of the demonic path. I obtained it by chance, and I do not know why it has become like this."
After it recognized its junior as master, it became like this.
These words intensified the curiosity in the strange man's eyes. He scrutinized Yu Zhao carefully, and after a moment, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Interesting. You actually possess the auras of the demonic path, the Buddhist path, and the righteous path all at the same time. Cultivating all three simultaneously, I haven't seen anyone like this in many years — no, your foundation in the demonic path has been destroyed. You should have been an unparalleled genius in cultivating the demonic path, but someone forcibly transformed you from a demon to a righteous one."
What kind of being possesses such power? And why would it choose to strike a mere child like you?
Yu Zhao blinked blankly, looking as if she didn't understand what Yu Zhao was saying.
But in reality, she was not at peace. She had overestimated this strange and powerful being as much as possible, but she still underestimated his strength.
The other party was able to see through her biggest trump card at a glance. Although they did not see through the strange light screen cheat, their guess was almost correct.
This senior possesses extraordinary abilities, even surpassing the powerful senior with the big beard we encountered before!
"Baby, would you mind if I touched your bones?" The eerie man beckoned to Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao: "————" How could I dare to refuse?
She gave Shen Yunshu a wink, signaling her to run away if things went wrong.
Then she walked towards the strange man. When she got to him, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so Yu Zhao squatted down and reached out her hand.
The eerie man used his skeletal hand to grab Yu Zhao's wrist, not groping her, but simply squeezing it.
Yu Zhao only felt a cold touch, which was quite comfortable.
Just as she was enjoying the wrist massage, the strange man seemed to have noticed something. His expression changed drastically, and he leaped up and quickly retreated.
His expression was terrified, as if Yu Zhao were some kind of terrifying being.
"You—what exactly are you?"
He opened his mouth this time, his voice revealing an undisguised panic.
Yu Zhao: "???" That's so rude! I'm a human being!
Yu Zhao tilted her head, pretending to be obedient and innocent.
After a moment, the strange man seemed to calm down. Like a curious fool, he came closer again and reached out to pinch Yu Zhao's wrist once more.
Then fear struck again.
He spoke in a language that Yu Zhao could not understand.
"An immortal's body, with form but no soul, having no past and no future—how can such a being exist? Has the Great Dao gone mad? How can it allow such a being to live?"
"that----
Yu Zhao timidly raised her small hand, about to say something, but then she found that the other person was like a frightened bird, and was so frightened by her voice that they retreated a long distance.
She stood up and instinctively walked closer, only to hear the other person's hoarse voice: "Get away from me! Just stand there and don't move!"
Yu Zhao: (One-one)!!
Am I some kind of terrifying virus? Why is this guy acting so strangely?
Seeing that the other party was emotionally unstable, Yu Zhao did not dare to approach any further. She stood still, shrinking the bronze coffin that the other party had dropped out of fear and holding it in her hand, while reassuring the other party, "Senior, please don't be nervous. I mean no harm. Calm down and let's have a good talk."
As soon as he said this, Yu Zhao himself felt strange. The other party was clearly the stronger one, so how come it seems like the roles of offense and defense have been reversed now?
She remembered what the senior with the big beard had said before: the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the less likely they were to provoke her.
But judging from the strange man's reaction, it's not just that he's not to be provoked, it's downright terrifying.
"I have nothing to talk to you about. Get out, get out now!"
As the other person finished speaking, a streak of light landed at Yu Zhao's feet.
Yu Zhao: "————"
This senior colleague is quite kind; he even gave me a gift.
She didn't examine what it was closely, and simply put it into her storage bag, planning to look at it later when she had time.
"Since you do not welcome me, senior, then I will not disturb your meditation."
After bowing respectfully with clasped hands, Yu Zhao silently walked away, went to Shen Yunshu's side, grabbed her hand, and flew away into the air.
After a while, seeing that he hadn't returned, the strange man went back to the place.
After sitting down again, he let out a long breath and patted his left chest, which had turned into bones, where his heart could be heard beating violently.
"That was terrifying. That guy was practically a walking calamity. Luckily, I didn't form too deep a karmic bond with her, or I wouldn't even know how I died."
As the strange man touched Yu Zhao's bones, he noticed Yu Zhao's unusual nature and also "saw" the aura of calamity emanating from him.
He didn't understand why such a being existed; it completely contradicted the principles of cultivation. But he was certain that the woman was terrifying.
The more karma you accumulate, the more easily you will be affected by calamity. When calamity accumulates to a certain extent, you won't even know how you died.
He was already trying to avoid a calamity, and if he were to be entangled by the other party's calamity aura, then everything would truly be over.
"Thank goodness, that terrible guy is gone."
"Junior sister, we're lucky we met a senior who's not quite right in the head."
On the other side, Yu Zhao, who had flown far away, sighed with lingering fear to Shen Yunshu.
Facing such an old monster whose true strength is unknown is truly terrifying.
Shen Yunshu, however, didn't seem to notice anything amiss. After all, she had been observing the whole thing, and it was precisely because of this that she noticed many things were off. She whispered to Yu Zhao, "Senior sister, why do I feel like that senior is actually afraid of you?"
"That's why I said he's not mentally sound. What do I have that he should be afraid of? I'm the one who's afraid of him, okay?"
.
"Senior sister, is it possible that it's not that the other person is mentally unstable, but rather that there's something about you that they're afraid of? Or is it that you yourself are something that terrifies them?"
Do you think it's possible?
After thinking about it, Shen Yunshu also felt it was impossible. Although her senior sister was exceptionally talented and possessed a great treasure, even the most precious treasure would not be worth the fear of such a powerful being.
For a moment she was confused about what was going on, so she simply stopped thinking about it and started talking about something else, "Senior sister, senior sister, quickly see what that senior gave us."
She was more interested in the baby.
Yu Zhao looked around and, seeing nothing unusual, stopped to catch his breath and proceeded with the division of the spoils.
After landing, Yu Zhao glanced at the bronze coffin that had shrunk and was hanging at her waist. Although she knew that the people inside the coffin could not detect what was happening outside, she still used the Emperor's Banner to add another layer of isolation array just to be on the safe side.
After doing all this, Yu Zhao finally felt relieved enough to take out the things the strange man had given her.
This is something that looks like a cluster of flowers. It's called a cluster because it looks like a sphere.
It is entirely moon-white, with flowing light surrounding it, making it quite extraordinary.
Staring at the lump, Yu Zhao subconsciously poked it with his finger and asked Shen Yunshu beside him, "What is this thing?"
Even her junior sister, whom Yu Zhao always regarded as an encyclopedia, was at a loss this time.
Shen Yunshu scratched her head in confusion, "I don't know what this is either."
This surprised Yu Zhao quite a bit; there were things that the little green tea didn't know.
The two women squatted side by side, scratching their heads and cheeks as they stared at the lump in front of them.
It's really uncomfortable to have such a treasure right in front of you, but not knowing what to do because you don't recognize it.
In the end, the two women decided to put it away for now, thinking that as long as they had the treasure, they would figure it out someday.
After collecting the strange flower, the two women continued deeper into the mountains.
The journey was uneventful, which gave Yu Zhao the illusion that the Fallen Demon Valley was nothing special.
What they didn't notice was that in the forest below, there were skeletons buried. They were only thinking about flying away from this mountain range as soon as possible and getting to another place indicated on the map.
They were completely unaware of the unusual activity in the forest below.
Leaving aside the two women's journey, on the other side, the other four people locked in the bronze coffin stared at each other with distinct expressions.
Zhang Yanqiu, Qingxuan, and Master Chixia sat on one side, while the mad monk sat on the other.
At this moment, none of the four were in good condition. Although the bronze coffin could slow down the rate at which their cultivation levels dropped, it could only slow it down.
So much time has passed, and the Mad Monk's cultivation level has plummeted to the Foundation Establishment stage, while True Person Crimson Cloud is in a better position, still at the Golden Core stage.
As for Zhang Yanqiu and Qingxuan, they have already reached the first level of Qi Refining.
So the atmosphere inside the coffin became somewhat strange.
The mad monk was worried that the Crimson Cloud Immortal would attack him, so he kept his distance from her, and the Crimson Cloud Immortal did indeed have the intention to make a move.
She sized up the mad monk with an unfriendly gaze.
Finally, the mad monk couldn't bear the gaze any longer and angrily shouted, "Chixia, I'll say it again: I didn't kill your daughter. If you continue to press this, then we'll die together!"
As he spoke, his breathing became labored, giving the impression that he was about to self-destruct.
The mad monk's cultivation level had only dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage, but his Nascent Soul had not dissipated. If he were to directly self-destruct his Nascent Soul, no one present would survive.
Seeing this, Qingxuan couldn't sit still any longer and quickly said, "Seniors, please calm down. We are both in danger now, and we really shouldn't kill each other. Why don't we take this opportunity to clear up any grudges between us and see if there is any misunderstanding?"
True Immortal Chixia really gave Qingxuan face; upon hearing him speak, the murderous intent in her eyes dissipated.
Seeing this, the mad monk also dissipated his aura and sat there with a cold face, not saying a word.
Having convinced the two, Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. She decided to strike while the iron was hot and asked Master Chixia, "Master, why do you believe that Senior Mad killed your daughter?"
"That's what others said," True Man Chixia murmured.
"Who said that?" Qingxuan didn't realize what was wrong with what Master Chixia said, but Zhang Yanqiu did.
Didn't Master Chixia think that my junior uncle Yu Zhao was her daughter?
Is he awake again?
Zhang Yanqiu was puzzled, but he dared not say anything and silently hugged himself.
"Who told you that, Master?" Qingxuan pressed.
The Crimson Cloud Immortal looked thoughtful, and after a moment, she pointed at Zhang Yanqiu.
Zhang Yanqiu was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. "Senior, please don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing to you?"
This can kill people!
He had already noticed the mad monk's unfriendly gaze.
"When did I say it was you? I mean, it was your third grandmaster who said it."
Hearing this, Zhang Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. At least they weren't trying to pin the blame on me—wait a minute? Who was she talking about?
My third grandmaster?
Zhang Yanqiu was stunned. His grandmaster was the Celestial Master Lingxiao, and his third grandmaster was the Celestial Master Lingxiao's third senior brother. But the problem was, the other party had been dead for a thousand years.
As far as he knew, the daughter of the Crimson Cloud Immortal had disappeared two hundred years ago. How could this be related to his third master?
"Senior Chixia, my third grandmaster perished a thousand years ago. Are you sure it was he who told you this?"
Master Chixia nodded: "It's him. As for your claim that he died a thousand years ago, that's pure nonsense. I saw him two hundred years ago!"
Master Chixia's condition changed again, and his killing intent surged once more. Qingxuan quickly reassured him, "Senior, calm down. Today, we will definitely settle your score for killing your daughter."
"Avenging the murder of your daughter? What are you talking about? My daughter is clearly outside."
Master Chixia looked at Qingxuan blankly, thinking that this person seemed to be a little mentally unstable.
Qingxuan:
'
I'm fucking patient, I'm patient. This is a powerful figure from a wealthy and influential family. I can't curse him, I can't curse him.
With immense patience, Qingxuan suppressed the urge to curse and smiled at True Person Chixia. "Senior is right. I was out of my mind. Since there is no grudge, please don't attack Senior Crazy."
Upon hearing the words "Crazy Senior," True Immortal Chixia paused for a moment, then drew his sword upon seeing the man. "Hey! You fiend, how dare you appear before me? Do you think my sword is useless?"
Kiyohiro: (One by one)!!
Mad Monk: "————" Destroy it, I'm truly exhausted.
