Chapter 1326: Question
Tsing!
Chu Liuyue slammed the Chi Xiao Sword into the ground. “He escaped again!”
“Don’t worry. This soul is destroyed. Even if he hasn’t died, he will be greatly affected,” Shangguan Jing comforted. “Now that you’ve managed to retaliate once, you have at least taken a bit of revenge.”
Chu Liuyue calmed herself down, summoned the Heavenly Square Cauldron, paused, and said, “Thank you Ancestor. I understand this as well.”
In actual fact, it was already very hard for her to win today’s battle.
The other party was much stronger than her, but it was a pity that he didn’t have a physical body and could only live in other people’s bodies. This greatly affected his skills.
Besides, the thing inside that physical body wasn’t his complete soul.
“It seems like this person is very meticulous, and he has tested you multiple times. He does have great patience!”
Chu Liuyue sneered. “But it’s not bad if he keeps doing this. If he comes a few more times, I’ll definitely be able to completely destroy him bit by bit.”
Shangguan Jing knew that she was frustrated. Whoever met with this incident wouldn’t be able to tolerate it either. “Girlie, ignore all of that first. You also used up quite a bit of your energy during your fight just now. It won’t be late if you rest properly and think of another way to solve this when you go back later.”
...
Chu Liuyue nodded. I have left Fangzhou City for a while. Zhuo Sheng and the others might already be looking for me. Although I had the upper hand just now, I have used up quite a bit of my force. If they see my current state, it would be even harder to explain it.
Chu Liuyue put away the Chi Xiao Sword, swallowed two pills, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
After about 15 minutes, she recovered a bit of her strength, and her face didn’t look that pale anymore.
After that, she got up, thought of something, and walked to the corpse. She then took out a jade bottle and poured something out.
Transparent liquid flowed out and landed on that man.
That man’s physical body quickly turned into a puddle of blood water before it rapidly seeped into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Other than messy bloodstains on the ground, nobody could see anything else. And as the floor was a dark-brown color... If one didn’t take a closer look, those bloodstains were rather hard to discover.
In the deserted land of the God Residence Realm, all kinds of battles would happen anywhere.
This bit of bloodstain wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.
But after some thought, Chu Liuyue still waved her bare hands and burned the remaining bloodstains cleanly.
She took out that wooden plaque and was about to crush it when she suddenly stopped in her actions and kept it properly. “Ancestor, you know where Black Demon Hole is, right?”
Shangguan Jing paused for a moment before giving an affirmative answer. “I know the rough location, but it has been a thousand years. Now that such a long time has passed, I don’t know if they’re still there.”
“This is simple. We can’t just ask around.” Chu Liuyue was nonchalant about it. Now that she was also at the God Residence Realm, it wasn’t that hard to find Black Demon Hole.
Shangguan Jing said hesitantly, “Yue’er, it’s fine if you want to go there, but with your current abilities... I’m afraid—”
“Ancestor, don’t worry. Without absolute confidence, I won’t act rashly. Besides... didn’t that person say that he’s no longer part of Black Demon Hole? Perhaps I might be able to find some clues through other means in the future.”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue’s thought process was clear and that she was calm, Shangguan Jing then relaxed. “As long as you know what you’re doing.”
Chu Liuyue then turned around to leave.
...
After a while, Chu Liuyue went back to the city alone as if nothing had happened, walking toward the place she agreed to meet Zhuo Sheng and the rest.
Just as she turned around a street corner, she heard a familiar voice coming from the front. “Chu Yue?!”
She looked over and saw that it was Luo Yanming.
“Chu Yue, where did you go just now?” Luo Yanming hurriedly rushed over and sized Chu Liuyue up nervously.
Chu Liuyue laughed bitterly and helplessly. “It’s a long story.”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue looked exhausted, Luo Yanming swallowed his mouthful of words. “Go back with me first. I’ll tell the elders and Zhuo Sheng about the news.”
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. “Elders?”
“Yeah! After we realized you were gone earlier, Zhuo Sheng and I looked around the city to find you for quite some time but couldn’t. We panicked, so we decided to ask the elders for help. Now, they’re looking for you everywhere.”
Chu Liuyue revealed an apologetic look. “I’m really sorry for causing all this trouble. Nobody else knows about this, right?”
“No. Other than Zhuo Sheng and I, only the two elders on duty currently know about this. Originally, we were still thinking of asking more people to look for you if you hadn’t come back by dark.”
There were quite a few Ling Xiao Academy students in Fangzhou City. As long as the elders gave a command, they would take action immediately.
Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great, that’s great... If I troubled so many people, I would feel even more apologetic. Where are the elders now? I’ll go over and apologize to them personally.”
Luo Yanming didn’t doubt anything else as he brought Chu Liuyue to find Zhuo Sheng and the rest.
...
Luo Yanming initially had a lot of questions, but there were many people coming to and fro, so he didn’t ask much. He just kept looking toward Chu Liuyue from time to time.
His eyes had hints of shock, curiosity, intrigue, and confusion.
Chu Liuyue could only pretend not to notice it first.
Luckily, not long later, they bumped into Zhuo Sheng and the elders who were anxiously looking for her.
Seeing Chu Liuyue come back, they were first surprised before they had many questions.
The few of them swiftly returned to the house that the elders on duty were staying at.
After entering the room, Zhuo Sheng couldn’t hold himself back and asked first, “Chu Yue, what exactly is going on?”
