At Famous Sword Villa, you were lucky to find out. So, you killed Murong Nan and launched a plan against .
"I really underestimated you."
The woman gritted her teeth.
At this mont, the flesh on her face began to rot and fall off, gradually turning into a pinkish skull that glowed coldly.
Jiang Shouzhong sighed at the endless varieties of demons and continued:
"You didn’t dare to co for directly because I had ngniang with , so you could only watch from the shadows.
Later, you noticed that ngniang hadn’t shown up for a long ti. You started to suspect that ngniang wasn’t actually by my side.
To verify your suspicion, you threw realgar powder at after I killed Qin Shier.
The reason you didn’t appear and kill directly is that your cultivation is too weak now, not a match for at all. Even when I was seriously injured, you didn’t dare to take the risk. So, you decided to impersonate ngniang to get close to .
After all, on the altar that ti, I was entangled with ngniang for so long, it was easiest for you to imitate her.
When I entered the room just now, you were actually gambling, betting on whether you could fool . If I had shown even the slightest sign of sothing amiss, you would have fled.
So, to deceive you, I played dumb..."
The pink skull said coldly, "If you knew I was a fake since you entered the room, then you were fully capable of killing while I was taking a bath. Why waste those paper n to trick into bed, doing all these useless things?"
Do you think I don’t care about those paper n?
Jiang Shouzhong thought to himself, if it didn’t require recreating the Water Moon Dream Mirror scenario, he would have taken care of her long ago.
Jiang Shouzhong, not bothering to reply, took out the Seven Kills Blade and said:
"The reason I’ve talked so much nonsense with you is because I’m curious about a demon like you, wondering if you could be of any use to . So now, I’ll give you a chance to figure out a way to beco my...uh, pet."
"Do you think that’s possible?" the pink skull glared at him, full of hatred.
"Then goodbye."
Jiang Shouzhong did not hesitate to raise the blade.
"Wait!"
The pink skull hurriedly spoke, "My cultivation is with that Cow Demon, and the Cow Demon is inside your Zodiac Dharma Seal, so you can use the Zodiac Dharma Seal to subdue ."
Jiang Shouzhong looked at her, curled the corner of his mouth, "If you enter the Zodiac Dharma Seal and then take back the cultivation from the Cow Demon, can my Zodiac Dharma Seal still hold you? Do you really think I have no brains?"
"I’m...I’m telling the truth, I didn’t lie to you." The pink skull tried to argue.
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong swing his blade, it cried out in panic: "Paper n!"
The blade’s edge stopped less than an inch from the skull’s throat.
"Speak."
Jiang Shouzhong’s gaze was ice-cold.
The pink skull said helplessly, "If you have more of those paper n like before, you can attach to them. Just drop a drop of your blood on the paper man, and I will...I will have to recognize you as my master."
Jiang Shouzhong thought for a long ti and finally said, "Forget it, I’d rather not take the risk."
The blade swept across.
The skull was sent flying stiffly.
A mass of black mist spread, and the whole skeleton collapsed into a bed of powdered bone. Soon after, an irregularly shaped bone bead appeared.
What is this?
Jiang Shouzhong picked up the bead and, feeling it might be useful, kept it.
After tidying up the room briefly, Jiang Shouzhong lay exhausted on the bed, took a light breath, and muttered silently, "I finally got past the second trial of the Water Moon Dream Mirror, thank goodness I didn’t listen to the Demon Venerable’s words and let the dreams happen, or I would have truly been done for."
Honestly, Jiang Shouzhong was beginning to doubt the reliability of this white-haired white tiger cake sovereign more and more.
The first ti, it almost set him up.
The second ti, it nearly did again.
Jiang Shouzhong even suspected that the white hair was doing it on purpose.
Suddenly, the candlelight in the room flickered slightly, Jiang Shouzhong’s nerves tensed, and he abruptly sat up, instinctively drawing his sword.
"Yo, not bad reflexes."
The candlelight in the room brightened a bit, casting the silhouette of a woman.
The woman, dressed in a long golden gown, was the picture of opulence, with the candlelight creating layered golden shadows and an elegant figure.
"Xie?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked baffled.
So, this woman really did co to Qingzhou.
"Kid, co with for Dual Cultivation," the woman said directly, without any preamble.
What?
Jiang Shouzhong thought his ears deceived him.
Before he could react, a fragrant breeze hit his nostrils, and then a cool sensation at his brow, Jiang Shouzhong lost consciousness.
----
Ancient Brahma Temple.
The moonlight was bright, casting silver radiance everywhere.
On the majestic sutra platform above, three thousand monks were ditating, simultaneously hitting wooden fish and chanting sutras.
The sound of the wooden fish was clear and prolonged, with the rhythm of the chanting creating layers of ripples of imasurable golden light in the void.
The sutra being chanted was a forbidden Buddhist scripture—the "Great Compassion Suffering Desire Mantra."
Occasionally, a crimson aura appeared amongst them, like a trial by the flas of karma.
Under the moonlight, the scene was solemn yet eerie.
...
When Jiang Shouzhong woke up again, he found himself bound to an ice and jade platform like a "wood" character.
All his powers were sealed, and he couldn’t struggle.
Looking around, Jiang Shouzhong was stunned.
He found himself in a strange stone chamber, its walls etched with ancient Brahmi characters, complicated and obscure talismans interwoven throughout.
And above the ice and jade platform, there was a churning sea of flas.
Scarlet flas reached sky-high, a blast of heat hitting him like the fierce fires of Avici Hell, raging incessantly and painting the entire space in an eerie red hue.
"This is the forbidden area of the Ancient Brahma Temple, called the Bitter Fire Hell." Luo Wanqing appeared before Jiang Shouzhong, standing with hands behind her, "They say, ’When the fire lotus of Avici blooms, one thought of purity leads out of this world.’ Today, you and I will undertake Dual Cultivation here, using the Great Compassion Suffering Desire Mantra, and the karma fire to purify us both, let’s see if we can step into the Heavenly Human Realm."
