Chapter 138: Chapter 137-PEI Ling died?
Translator: 549690339
In the ancient well, Tang Nanzhai’s expression changed drastically.
After a moment, he finally made his choice. No matter what, he, Tang Nanzhai, would never become a slave just to survive!
He would rather die in battle than be a sword slave.
After thinking it through, Tang Nanzhai was about to take a gamble when han sigu’s expression suddenly changed.
“That kid is dead!” A rare look of shock appeared on han sigu’s cold face.
The Supreme-grade bone essence, the blood ghost escape technique, the blood Fiend saber technique, the high-grade talisman tools, the life-loathing saber, and the protective sword Qi given by the Blood River ... Were actually killed by the cursed ghost?
More importantly, the cursed ghost actually dared to kill PEI Ling?
Once PEI Ling died, Tang Nanzhai, who had come to his place, was still alive. Wasn’t this clearly telling the Blood River that the him in the ancestral hall was a fake?
“Master.” &Quot; what’s going on? ” Madam Xue asked hurriedly when she noticed his odd expression.
“The soul thread of suppression I put on that kid’s body broke.” Han sigu’s face was as dark as water. &Quot; there’s only one possibility for this. He lost all his vitality and died on the spot. &Quot;
“Could it be a fake death?” Madam Xue muttered. I remember that when I was with master in glory sect, there were several similar techniques in the various arts Pavilion.”
“Impossible!” Han sigu shook his head resolutely. &Quot; the so-called fake death technique, in the end, is to conceal one’s life force and pretend to be dead. However, no matter how much life force is concealed, as long as the person is not truly dead, there will always be a trace of life. Otherwise, once the technique is removed, how can one recover? So if he used the feign death technique, a few of the soul strings would break, but not all!”
“Most importantly, his cultivation level is only at Qi disciple Level 7. How could he possibly restrain his life force to such an extreme?”
&Quot; the reason why the outer sect’s fake death technique is so cheap is that it’s not very practical. It can only be used to deceive those demonic beasts or ghosts with low intelligence. Not to mention my life-suppressing soul thread, it can’t even deceive ordinary cultivators! &Quot;
Life-suppressing soul thread ... Tang Nanzhai glanced at the blood-colored thread on his arm without a change in expression. His eyes flickered, and he suddenly probed, ” “Is it possible that he has escaped?”
“Escape?” Han sigu sneered. &Quot; although the soul thread can’t take his life directly, it has restricted his range of movement to the entire Han’s Villa. Once he leaves, all his life Providence and soul will be instantly extracted ... Now that the soul thread is broken, and nothing has been brought back, it’s obvious that the kid is dead. &Quot;
Han sigu’s expression was uncertain. He then looked at Tang Nanzhai and said, ” “Go and find the Blood River immediately. I don’t care what method you use, but you must bring it to the ancient well! Otherwise, I can still choose to be your sword slave, but the cursed ghost will only drain you of your cultivation base and flesh! You should understand the principle that those who are not of our race must have a different heart.”
Tang Nanzhai sat on the ground and raised the price,”I want the heavenly Dao Foundation establishment technique!” I want it now!”
Han sigu’s expression changed, and he coldly said,”I’ll give you half at most!”
“Alright!” Tang Nanzhai didn’t pester him.
Time was of the essence for both parties. Han sigu needed Tang Nanzhai to head to the Lotus pond immediately and inform the Blood River of PEI Ling’s death so that the Blood River could distinguish the truth from the lies in time. Otherwise, once the cursed ghost had free hands, it would definitely use Tang Nanzhai to make a fuss and once again cause the Blood River sword to be lost.
At that time, if he lost this opportunity, when would he be able to retrieve his life source flying sword?
Even if Tang Nanzhai agreed on the surface but went against it on the inside, as long as this person did not side with the cursed ghost, han sigu would have the absolute upper hand.
And to Tang Nanzhai, PEI Ling was already dead, who knew if han sigu would suddenly attack him?
Thus, han sigu immediately took out a Jade slip, held it in his hand, closed his eyes, and focused for a moment. He then threw it to Tang Nanzhai. &Quot; just take a look. Don’t waste time! &Quot;
Tang Nanzhai took the Jade slip and skimmed through it quickly. Seeing that it was indeed describing the process of building the foundation, he didn’t have time to distinguish whether it was true or false, so he turned and left.
After a while, he left the back mountain with a livid face. He had no intention of going to the Lotus pond at all. Instead, he took a big detour and carefully hid in the front yard.
Just as Tang Nanzhai had carefully selected an unremarkable corner to hide in, he discovered PEI Ling’s corpse.
He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, shaking his head and sighing. Such a genius and such a young Alchemist, what a pity ...
Just as he was about to speed up and leave this place, in the next moment, a powerful life force suddenly burst out from PEI Ling’s heart and instantly spread throughout his body. PEI Ling sat up unscathed.”Senior brother Tang, you’re also fine?”
&Quot; I’ve confirmed that han sigu in the ancestral hall is a cursed ghost! &Quot;
“What?” Tang Nanzhai was shocked. He turned around and looked at PEI Ling from head to toe. &Quot; Junior Brother PEI, how did you hide from han sigu’s soul thread? ” he asked in surprise.
“I’ve bought the heart-withering technique from the various arts Pavilion. I can sell it to you if you need it, senior brother Tang.” PEI Ling said. Of course, this also includes the spirit stones as a punishment.”
“[ withered heart ]?” Tang Nanzhai frowned and shook his head. &Quot; “Impossible! This technique can only restrain one’s life force, but it can’t make one’s life force disappear completely. It can’t even fool ordinary cultivators, let alone han sigu’s life suppressing soul thread.”
&Quot; but I did use the [ heart-withering technique ] to get rid of the blood line, and that’s not important now. Senior brother Zhang Shuo is not dead, and your teammates, as well as your fellow disciples who went missing that night, have all become the cursed ghost’s puppets. &Quot; PEI Ling said in a deep voice, ” they were the ones who were chasing me just now, and they didn’t listen to any of my explanations. &Quot;
At first, Tang Nanzhai thought that PEI Ling was unwilling to reveal the secret of cutting off the soul line. However, when he heard what happened to his teammates, his expression changed and he no longer cared about anything else.”What? A puppet? Damn it!”
“Senior brother Tang, I wonder how you’ve been to the bottom of the ancient well?” PEI Ling asked, ” the news from both sides is very important to us now. &Quot;
Tang Nanzhai took a deep breath and said, ” the situation is not good. The one under the ancient well is very likely to be han sigu’s real body. &Quot; But it’s more likely that he won’t let us go! You said earlier that Junior Sister Lu was kept as a hostage in his hands? But when I went down, I didn’t see her at all.”
“The reason why he was willing to let me out was because the soul strings he placed on you suddenly broke. He thought you were killed by the cursed ghost. That’s why he wanted me to head to the Lotus pond immediately to retrieve the Blood River sword!”
&Quot; otherwise, I’ll either die on the spot or be refined into a sword slave by him. &Quot;
“I believe that even if he values you, Junior Brother PEI, the best outcome for you will be to become his sword slave!”
&Quot; I came here from the ancient well and went around the Lotus Pool to avoid being detected by the Blood River sword. &Quot;
“After all, the current situation is too unfavorable for us!”
&Quot; no matter who the Blood River sword recognizes as its master, the person who has it will not let us off. &Quot;
What? Senior Sister Lu had been killed?
PEI Ling’s heart sank and he immediately said,”Senior martial brother Tang, I suggest that we find a way to leave the Han family’s Manor immediately!”
Although there was also a problem with the pear Blossom forest outside the Han Manor, han sigu, the cursed ghost, and the Blood River sword were unable to leave the manor. The biggest problem there was not only being unable to leave, but also the bewitchment of the cursed ghost.
On top of that, PEI Ling still had quite a few bone-tempering pills on him. In addition to the many materials he had obtained from the Han clan’s treasure vault, he could keep cultivating under the system’s management. After a few years, he would be able to reach the foundation establishment stage!
&Quot; ... &Quot; Tang Nanzhai pondered for a moment, then shook his head. &Quot; if you have a way to leave, then you can go alone. &Quot; Lin Long and the rest are still in the hands of the cursed ghost. It’s fine if they’re dead, but since they’re still alive, I can’t just leave them behind.”
