The Cool and Aloof Immortal Master Has Fallen to the Demonic Path (Transmigration) - Chapter 27

Chapter 27

The petals seemed to be dusted with golden powder. As the petals floated down, the golden powder scattered everywhere, reaching every inch of the array. Those who were trapped in the Affectionate Inducement Array seemed to receive some kind of solace and gradually calmed down.

The fragrance grew richer, and the golden powder and petals became more and more numerous.

Yi Hu’s eyes were invaded by the gold, and even the petals were completely dyed golden.

With a “bang!”, a place on the originally intact ground suddenly exploded. Fresh blood splashed everywhere, staining a patch of gold.

A male corpse was actually blown out of that spot.

The male corpse’s clothes were torn, his hair was messy and covered in blood. The originally intact corpse broke inch by inch before their eyes, making a thunderous sound, until only a skeleton remained. Meanwhile, the eyes of the cultivators around him slowly regained clarity. When they saw the blood stains and minced flesh on their clothes, some of the weaker, more cleanliness-conscious cultivators wailed.

Shen Yin’s expression was somewhat stiff: “It seems the one from the Medicine Sect who came is Liu Changxi.”

Clearly, the two sect powers outside were jointly breaking the array. The Immortal Spirit Sect always advocated for saving the world and would never break an array in such a brutal manner. The Sect Master of the Medicine Sect also had a gentle disposition and would never act this way.

Only Liu Changxi remained.

Liu Changxi was unpredictable in temperament and casual in her actions.

To put it nicely, she was unrestrained. To put it harshly, she hovered on the verge of being demonized.

Yi Hu slightly opened her mouth, watching the scene of the exploding corpses, dumbfounded.

Shen Yin glanced at her: “Fox, close your eyes.”

What was meant by being afraid yet loving to watch, Yi Hu was exactly like that. After closing her eyes obediently, she couldn’t help but open them to see exactly how the array was being broken. A Bagua formation hung over their heads. The dim golden light revealed some ancient traces. More and more petals and golden powder poured in from the formation. The golden powder wrapped around the petals. The petals fell to the ground, and where they landed, pools of dark blood welled up, staining the soil. Where the golden powder landed, the ground cracked open, corpses flew out, and flesh and blood splattered.

Yi Hu had a rough understanding of this world. The petals were probably the work of Shen Yuehua, using the power of the Hundred Flowers Chain, and the golden powder was naturally Liu Changxi.

Liu Changxi actually directly reduced the cultivators who served as the array cores to ashes and bones.

That statement was slightly inaccurate, as the white bones remained.

Just from breaking the array, the personalities of the two were clearly revealed.

Shen Yuehua was gentle, and Liu Changxi was brutal.

Yi Hu saw more and more gold, which hurt her eyes from the glare. This time, she didn’t dare to look again and quickly covered her eyes.

When Yi Hu opened her eyes again, she was already outside the mansion. The elegant mansion had collapsed and shattered, leaving no trace of its existence. Only broken tiles and stones remained on the ground. The two stone lions at the entrance of the mansion had also toppled over, and the two girls inside had already died.

They still couldn’t save them.

All the evil here started because of Ku Mu and the Spider Demon, yet they were nowhere to be found. Let alone them, she didn’t even see Feng Lingyuan.

Apart from the cultivators and demons who had awakened from their deep dream, there were also a group of blue robes and a group of gray robes. She recognized the blue robes. The two green bamboo leaves embroidered on their lapels were the symbol of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

The blue robes were from the Immortal Spirit Sect, so the gray robes were naturally from the Medicine Sect.

Yi Hu looked toward the Medicine Sect she had been curious about for a long time. She only saw a woman leading the group, and she wasn’t wearing a gray robe.

She wore a light yellow silk dress, her waist was gracefully slender, and her skirt swayed in the breeze, showing a hint of fragility. A light veil covered her face, making her appearance unclear. A jade hairpin was tucked in her hair, looking quite elegant.

But this person was definitely not Liu Changxi.

Looking at the Immortal Spirit Sect side, she also didn’t see Shen Yuehua. Yi Hu looked at Shen Yin, who was standing with her hands behind her back, gazing at the sky, her eyebrows gradually furrowed.

Following Shen Yin’s gaze, she saw two figures floating in the air above their heads, one in gray and one in blue.

She couldn’t tell what they were talking about; they were too far away.

Suddenly, the blue robe flew down and landed in front of them.

She also had a light veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of eyes. Yi Hu was stared at by those eyes for less than half a second, and a thin layer of cold sweat seeped from her back.

Shen Yin stepped in front of her: “Sect Master.”

This person was Shen Yuehua.

The book once wrote that because Shen Yuehua borrowed bones, she possessed flesh and blood that didn’t belong to her, turning her into a false Spirit Cultivating Flower. Her constitution was Yin-cold. Although she was a cultivator, she often showed a sickly appearance, which was why she used the light veil to cover her face somewhat.

Upon seeing Shen Yin, Shen Yuehua ignored Yi Hu. Her nose lightly sniffed. A faint smell of blood emanated from Shen Yin. Her gentle gaze landed on Shen Yin’s hands, which were hidden behind her back. She reached out and grabbed Shen Yin’s arm: “Did Senior Sister get hurt?”

“Let me see quickly.” She wanted to pull out Shen Yin’s hands.

Shen Yin was awkward and refused to show her hands, secretly competing with Shen Yuehua in strength.

“Cough, cough…” Shen Yuehua coughed lightly twice.

Shen Yin no longer dared to exert force, allowing Shen Yuehua to pull her hand out.

For all these years, there was one thing she couldn’t figure out: Shen Yuehua was clearly a cultivator and wasn’t suffering from a serious illness, yet her body grew weaker day by day. That weakness wasn’t faked; sometimes even her breath was cold.

Yet, her cultivation was improving every day.

She had seen Shen Yuehua without a veil a few times. Shen Yuehua wasn’t necessarily less powerful than her, but Shen Yin truly didn’t dare to be persistent with her.

She always felt that even the wind could blow her away.

There was a clear wound on the wrist that Shen Yuehua pulled out. The blood stains hadn’t dried yet. Shen Yuehua gently formed a hand seal, about to heal her wound.

Shen Yin opened her mouth. Before she could speak, a white porcelain bottle was thrown over. Seeing that it was about to hit Shen Yuehua, Shen Yin used her other hand to catch the white porcelain bottle.

Yi Hu looked at the person who threw the white porcelain bottle, and it was Liu Changxi, who had descended with Shen Yuehua.

Her hand was resting on the light yellow-robed woman’s waist. She said lightly: “Why is Sect Master Shen bothering with this? Is the Immortal Spirit Sect even stingy with wound-healing elixirs?”

“No, I have some.” Although the Immortal Spirit Sect was not as rich in elixirs as the Medicine Sect, it was still the former number one major sect in the world. Even if the alchemists were not as good as before, they still had a lot of inventory.

But…

Shen Yin’s constitution couldn’t absorb elixirs. No matter how good the elixir, it would only nourish her flesh and blood and have no effect on herself.

Shen Yuehua knew she was a Vessel Body, but she still accepted the elixir: “Thank you for your kindness, Young Sect Master.”

Everyone knew that the Medicine Sect was founded on elixirs. Even with the same formula and the same cultivation level of the refining cultivator, the elixirs refined by the Medicine Sect would be stronger than others. Liu Changxi had the highest talent in the Medicine Sect now and was renowned. The elixir she gave was naturally a high-grade one.

Although it was useless to Shen Yin, a blunt refusal would inevitably lead to speculation.

Shen Yuehua accepted the elixir, fed one to Shen Yin, but her palm reached into Shen Yin’s sleeve, secretly healing her with spiritual power.

Shen Yin was somewhat awkward. She could do all this herself. She was bothering her with the effort.

Yi Hu saw everything. This was somewhat different from what she saw in the Heart Demon Dream. Shen Yuehua’s concern for Shen Yin was definitely not faked.

It seemed… that Shen Yin herself was somewhat awkward about Shen Yuehua’s care for her.

Just at this moment, Feng Lingyuan arrived, dragging Ku Mu.

She grabbed Ku Mu by the collar and threw him onto the ground. Seeing Shen Yuehua, she stepped forward: “Senior Sister.”

Her attention was drawn to Shen Yuehua putting her hand into Shen Yin’s sleeve. She ignored Ku Mu and stared at Shen Yuehua non-stop.

Shen Yuehua was a little embarrassed. She slowly withdrew her hand: “Yuan’er, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine. But Senior Sister Shen was injured to save me from the array.” She stared at Shen Yin, her expression somewhat complex.

Shen Yin felt inexplicable under her gaze.

She was somewhat surprised that Feng Lingyuan actually remembered the kindness of her saving her and getting injured.

She moved the corner of her mouth lightly: “It’s nothing.”

Something felt off!

Yi Hu felt like she saw something, yet it was as if she saw nothing at all.

She reached out and lifted Shen Yin’s sleeve. The wound there was indeed healed, leaving only a patch of white jade-like skin and residual bloodstains.

Yi Hu found it curious.

It was also because she was much closer to Shen Yin that she dared to poke Shen Yin’s wrist so recklessly. The knife mark had actually disappeared without a trace, making her marvel at the miraculous nature of immortal cultivation.

Shen Yin pulled her hand back: “Don’t mess around.”

She sounded slightly chastising but didn’t blame Yi Hu for her offense.

Feng Lingyuan saw it, and the corner of her mouth subconsciously curled up slightly. She then pointed to Ku Mu, who was half-dead from her beating, and said: “This is the person who set up the array. I only caught him. His accomplice ran away.”

That Spider Demon still ran away.

Now that they had left the array, it should be possible to try the Immortal Spirit Sect’s guiding method again.

Yi Hu looked at Shen Yin. Shen Yin had already thought of it. She took out the stone again. A drop of blood flew out of her jade token. The red light just appeared and then disappeared without a trace.

Shen Yin shook her head.

That Spider Demon was indeed clever enough. She concealed her aura as soon as she left the array. Even the Immortal Spirit Sect’s guiding method couldn’t help them.

The biggest drawback of the Immortal Spirit Sect’s guiding method was distance. Once she escaped the range, even if she revealed her aura, she couldn’t be found.

Shen Yuehua and the others didn’t ask what Shen Yin was doing. Feng Lingyuan kicked Ku Mu: “He has the aura of Senior Sister Bai’s spiritual essence on him.”

Sure enough, otherwise Feng Lingyuan wouldn’t have been able to find the same place as them.

Hearing the aura of Bai Ruxue’s spiritual essence, Shen Yin, Shen Yuehua, and even the blue robes all changed their expressions. Shen Yuehua’s steps were heavy. She walked to Ku Mu’s side, and her palm hovered gently over Ku Mu’s head. Spiritual light shone above Ku Mu’s head, gradually condensing into a fragment of jade-colored spiritual essence.

Shen Yuehua held the spiritual essence fragment, and asked coldly: “I ask you, where did this spiritual essence fragment come from?”

Ku Mu opened his mouth, and Shen Yuehua realized that he no longer had a tongue. She looked back at Feng Lingyuan. Feng Lingyuan opened her mouth with a wronged expression, but closed it before making a sound.

Shen Yuehua withdrew her gaze and stared at Ku Mu: “Write it down.”

Ku Mu naturally refused.

Shen Yuehua’s cold questioning fell into Liu Changxi’s ears. She actually laughed out loud: “The Immortal Spirit Sect won’t get any answers with such questioning.”

Shen Yuehua slightly tensed her body and looked straight at Liu Changxi: “Does the Young Sect Master have any brilliant suggestions?”

“Then I’ll be kind for once.” Liu Changxi’s smile grew richer. Her appearance was considered glamorous, and her smile was even more charming, yet it looked somewhat cold.

She walked forward, pinched Ku Mu’s chin, and fed him an elixir.

Ku Mu suddenly widened his eyes, staring intently at Liu Changxi.

Liu Changxi smiled: “You should have heard of the Bone Corrosion Elixir. Your bones will slowly crack, be crushed, your meridians will break inch by inch, and your flesh and blood will all be devoured. Not bad, right?”
