The Cool and Aloof Immortal Master Has Fallen to the Demonic Path (Transmigration) - Chapter 14
Chapter 14
“Kill!” Following a chilling female voice, the wall piled high with white bones collapsed with a roar.
White bones scattered everywhere, and a woman in white walked out from the bone dust.
Yi Hu pointed at the woman: “Immortal Master, it’s Elder Feng!”
Exquisite features, ethereal and graceful—who else could it be but Feng Lingyuan?
At this moment, her eyes were crimson red, and her right hand seemed to be injured, the cuff stained with blood, which also had a faint golden hue. She no longer had her usual dignified and noble appearance.
After she walked out, the scattered white bones returned to their original positions, stacking up once again into a white wall.
Shen Yin looked serious: “She has fallen into the Affectionate Inducement Array. Hu-er, stand farther back.”
Before Yi Hu could move, she was lifted by a gentle force and placed in a distant location. She still held the Elder’s Command Token that Shen Yin gave her. After she retreated, Shen Yin immediately stepped forward and became entangled in a fight with Feng Lingyuan. Their figures flickered, dust flew up, and golden light flashed with sword shadows.
Yi Hu was dazzled. A battle between the two Elders of the Immortal Spirit Sect was a rare sight.
Wait.
Feng Lingyuan is a Holy Spirit Flower. Her blood should be gold. This means the blood staining her right sleeve is not hers, but… the blood of the person who set up the array.
No wonder that cultivator had to use sentiment to draw Feng Lingyuan into the array, and also wanted to draw the entire Urn City into the array. It must be that even with Feng Lingyuan caught in the array, he couldn’t defeat her. He was waiting for the entire Urn City to fall into the array, and then he would use the Affectionate Inducement Array to manipulate people’s minds, making them kill each other so he could reap the benefits.
Right now, Feng Lingyuan was fighting Shen Yin.
In-fighting.
Trapped in the Affectionate Inducement Array, Feng Lingyuan kept chanting “kill.” Given her constitution, it should be very difficult for her mind to be controlled.
Could the power of this array really be this great?
Yi Hu looked towards the pale white bones. The jade token in her palm suddenly emitted a blinding white light. Yi Hu felt a chill down her spine, and an icy cold sensation covered her entire back. She felt as if she had been injected with a paralyzing drug, her body stiffening.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her waist. She was lifted into the air and rushed toward a different direction.
“Immo—” Her voice was completely suppressed in a muffled sound. She seemed to have her lips covered by a pair of invisible hands. All sound was locked in her throat. She could only watch as she moved farther and farther away from Shen Yin.
If she had a chance to start over, she would definitely shamelessly burrow into Shen Yin’s sleeve.
She had only just begun cultivating and had achieved nothing. It was simply too dangerous to be outside.
Yi Hu’s breathing became increasingly difficult. The air she could inhale was diminishing. She struggled to circulate her cultivation technique. Threads of spiritual energy flowed within her body, and finally, her head could move. She successfully saw the person who had grabbed her.
It was also a woman.
She had snowy white skin but was dressed entirely in black. The corners of her eyes slanted upward, giving her a slightly frivolous look. Several spiders were crawling in her hair.
They were surprisingly living spiders, snow-white with black claws, crawling back and forth in her shiny black hair.
Yi Hu stared blankly at the scene before her. She felt her vision darken and her heart skip a beat: “Spi… Spider!”
The Spider Demon glanced at her lightly. Dark light flowed in her jet-black eyes, and disdain filled her gaze: “Why are you screaming? Aren’t you a demon too?”
Yes, yes.
I am also a demon.
Yi Hu rarely remembered that she was now a demon.
Over twenty years of ordinary human life had been deeply ingrained in her. She possessed all the habits of a human. Even if she tried to convince herself she was a demon, her past memories would surge out, reminding her that she was human.
Even if her body was that of a demon, her nature was still human at the core. It was normal to be afraid upon seeing a demon.
Yi Hu took a deep breath and looked down. Her fingers trembled violently. Why does everyone in this world, demon or cultivator, love to fly?
Her face was pale and unsightly from fear: “Miss, seeing as we are both of the same kind, can you let me go?”
The Spider Demon slowly landed on the ground with her, looking at her sideways: “I am saving you.”
Saving?
Following her is clearly the most dangerous thing.
Yi Hu had just landed, her body still unsteady. She frantically grabbed onto a tree to avoid falling. Her features were hidden in the dense shade. As light and shadows fell through the thick branches and leaves, Yi Hu took deep breaths, and her condition slowly improved.
“How dare a demon as weak as you follow such a powerful cultivator? Aren’t you afraid of having your spiritual essence sucked dry and your bones scattered?”
This Spider Demon truly seemed to be considering her well-being, which was why she brought her here.
But demons have good and bad, and humans have good and bad.
“The Immortal Master is a good person.”
“There is no cultivator who doesn’t want to ascend in one leap. They will use any means necessary to increase their cultivation.” The Spider Demon sounded as if she had heard a huge joke, and even the twitch of her lips was full of sarcasm: “Good person? Is there any such thing as a good person in this world?”
“As a demon, if you trust a cultivator, you are not far from death.”
She was too extreme, everything she said revolved around “us demons.”
Yi Hu understood the concept of putting herself in others’ shoes, but she had only been a demon for just over thirty days, while she had been a human for over twenty years. She didn’t have such a strong sense of belonging to the demon race.
She subconsciously still felt that she was not a demon.
The one who attacked Si Furou was a Spider Demon. Is it this one?
I’ve been gone for so long, I wonder how Shen Yin and Feng Lingyuan’s fight is going? It would be bad if Shen Yin got distracted because I was abducted.
The Spider Demon saw through her thoughts, and her expression suddenly turned cold: “Are you worried about that human cultivator?”
Yi Hu was quite observant. Seeing the Spider Demon’s expression change, she dared not make a sound. She unconsciously squeezed the jade token in her hand tighter and tighter, so much so that the string attached to the token scratched her fingertip.
A faint drop of blood rolled down from her fingertip, the crimson color falling onto the translucent white jade, which was very conspicuous.
A subtle fragrance spread in the air.
The Spider Demon’s eyes instantly became greedy and frenzied: “You are clearly a demon, yet your blood is red. Are you a Vessel Body?”
This was the umpteenth time Yi Hu had heard this term. What exactly is a Vessel Body?
Was it the result of her not reading the book completely, or did the author simply not write it?
However, it sounded like it belonged to the same system as spiritual medicine.
The Spider Demon’s eyes became increasingly abnormal. Yi Hu turned to run but was quickly caught up to. Eight black legs suddenly grew out from behind the Spider Demon. She used the eight legs to pin Yi Hu against a tree, wrapping around her. Her gaze slightly lowered: “I thought something was off just now. Your cultivation is so weak, yet I actually couldn’t see through your true form.”
“Miss, weren’t you saving me?”
She clearly saw that this Spider Demon was trying to harm her!
The Spider Demon paused, gently pinching Yi Hu’s finger: “If you weren’t a Vessel Body, I would definitely save you.”
Last time, Zi Ying wanted to eat her flesh and blood, and Shen Yin had said those strange things to her. She had long suspected that her constitution might have some issues, so how could she dare let the Spider Demon test it?
Yi Hu struggled to pull her finger back, but she was no match for the Spider Demon’s immense strength.
The Spider Demon squeezed Yi Hu’s finger even harder, forcing out two drops of blood from the broken skin of her fingertip. The blood drops flew up and landed on the Spider Demon’s lips. The vibrant red color invaded her lips, followed by a rush of rich spiritual energy.
The Spider Demon’s eyes became even more frantic, and tears of joy streamed from her eye sockets: “Vessel Body! You truly are a Vessel Body! I finally found the second Vessel Body! A’Ruan is saved.”
After realizing that she was a Vessel Body, the Spider Demon’s eyes were no longer friendly.
She stared at Yi Hu: “Don’t blame me, don’t blame me. If you don’t die, A’Ruan will die.”
The Spider Demon’s eyes suddenly turned blood red. The red light filled her somewhat pretty eyes, but it was abnormally red, as if drops of blood could roll down at any moment. The spiders on her head also turned red, a dark, crimson hue that was very bizarre.
“D-don’t kill me.” Yi Hu trembled uncontrollably due to fear. Even her tongue was slightly tied.
Just at this critical moment, the jade token in her hand suddenly flashed with golden light. By the time Yi Hu recovered, she had already transformed into her tiny mayfly form and escaped from the Spider Demon’s grasp. The Spider Demon, having lost her trace, was enraged and even chopped down the tree.
Being small does have some advantages.
She didn’t know where the jade token went, but Yi Hu couldn’t worry about it right now. She could only desperately flap her two wings. She had to leave this place. She wouldn’t feel safe until she was out of the Spider Demon’s sight.
How miserable. I’ve been transmigrated for so long, and yet it’s still so difficult to save my own life.
If she had Shen Yin’s strength, let alone a Spider Demon, she would directly start fighting even a celestial demon. There would be no need for a hasty escape.
But the truth was, besides escaping, she had no other choice.
An indescribable sense of desolation surged into her heart, and even the flapping of her wings slowed down. At this moment, she felt lost.
What is she waiting for, living so weakly? But if she were to completely disappear, how would she ever have counted as having come here?
A powerful will to survive ignited, making her wings flap quickly again.
One day, she will become powerful.
She had never flown so fast, but the direction she was flying was increasingly off course.
So dark, so dark.
Yi Hu couldn’t see anything in front of her. She could only rely on instinct to flap her wings continuously, flying farther and farther away.
Finally, she saw a flicker of light.
Her wings beat faster, flying toward the light source.
When the area before her was illuminated by torchlight, Yi Hu first smelled an overwhelmingly pungent scent of blood. The overly strong腥 smell made her instinctively want to cover her nose and mouth. She slightly raised her front foot, and her body lost balance, causing her to fall.
She felt herself falling onto a very hot place and cried out uncontrollably: “Ah!”
She scrambled away from that spot, feeling slightly more comfortable.
She finally saw where she was. This looked like a prison. There were iron cages everywhere, stacked one upon another. In the confined space, only a few dim candles emitted weak light. She had just fallen onto one of the candelabra.
No wonder. She felt like she was being cooked alive just now.
“Who, who is here?” A voice came from the deeper, darker part, sounding like a ghost.
Yi Hu glanced inside. There was only endless darkness and dim candlelight. The intense smell of blood also seemed to drift from within. Yi Hu was somewhat panicked. She flapped her wings, intending to leave this place, but then heard footsteps approaching from behind her.
She was extremely terrified and could only fly toward the deeper, darker part of the area.
