"Phoenix Fla · Suppression!"
Without wasting any words, Gu Xiaoqi attacked with her phoenix flas while throwing the Exorcism Talisman. The combination of the two attacks effectively locked down all possible escape routes for the old man.
"Little brat!"
"That won't hurt !"
"Heh heh!"
The old man faced the phoenix flas with his usual sneering grin, becoming transparent and disappearing just as the attack was about to hit him. Soon, he reappeared in another location.
"Tsk tsk!"
"The sll of this Soul-Nurturing Liquor hasn't changed much. The Dark Palace's craftsmanship is still as good as it was back then!"
"Eh... What's the Dark Palace? Sothing unsavory seems to co to mind, but never mind, I don't have ti to think about it now. That little phoenix is too fierce; escaping is the priority!"
The old man floated in the air, opened the Soul-Nurturing Liquor, and poured it into his mouth. After a sip, he put away the jade bottle and vanished once again.
At this mont, Gu Xiaoqi had arrived at the previous location. She was one step behind.
The old man reappeared elsewhere, and Gu Xiaoqi chased him again. The two figures continued to chase and evade in the air with no results after a long ti.
Seeing the old man vanish repeatedly, Gu Xiaoqi's face turned red with anger.
"Sister Qiqi, don't be mad. I can help find that bad old man!"
"The bad old man seems to be unable to leave Feng City. We have a good chance of catching him!"
At Gu Xiaoqi's doubtful glance, Gu Simu smiled and rode up to her on little Suan Ni. While speaking, she took out a jade bottle and opened it.
"What is this!"
"This sll!"
"This is top-grade Soul-Nurturing Liquor!"
As soon as the jade bottle was opened, the old man, who had been fleeing nonstop, imdiately stopped in his tracks. He landed next to a broken statue, eyeing the jade bottle in Gu Simu's hand with greedy eyes.
"Indeed, it's effective!"
"The bad old man really likes the sll of this Spirit Liquor!"
Seeing the old man's expression, Gu Simu imdiately understood that her guess was correct. The Spirit Liquor she had taken out was also a kind of soul-nurturing liquor, comparable to Saint Stage quality. This was the kind she had consud in her childhood, while she now drank a higher-quality version.
The old man was extrely eager upon seeing the Spirit Liquor in Gu Simu's hand.
My goodness!
Where did this child co from?
He had seen such rare items only a few tis in his long life!
He attempted to use his earlier technique again but found that the space around Gu Simu seed to be sealed by so kind of treasure, completely blocking his technique's effect.
What's going on?
The old man was montarily stunned. His innate abilities had failed against a re child, which was hard for him to believe.
"Little brat!"
"Would you give the Spirit Liquor in your hand? I can promise you anything!"
The old man imdiately dropped his sly grin and showed a kind, elderly smile.
Seeing that the situation was not working out, the old man prepared to use his old trick again. After all, among these little brats, Gu Simu seed the easiest to deceive.
"No way!"
"You tricked Uncle Zhe Liang and teased Sister Qiqi. You're a bad old man!"
Gu Simu rejected firmly. She had always used her wits against Su Hua, Zhang Qingwei Master, and the top Confucian and Taoist masters in the human realm. She wouldn't be deceived by these tactics.
By taking out the Spirit Liquor, Gu Simu only wanted to test how much the old man desired it and thus gain an additional way to control him.
At this mont, Gu Simu's Supre Iris began to shine.
"This is bad!"
Seeing this, the old man, though not sure what would happen, had an ominous premonition and imdiately chose to flee.
"Sister Qiqi, attack in that direction!"
As soon as the old man's figure disappeared, Gu Simu had already used her Supre Iris to locate his soon-to-be appearance.
Gu Xiaoqi, hearing this, acted quickly and threw another Exorcism Talisman.
The Exorcism Talisman glowed with golden light in the air.
"Ah!"
"My butt!"
Amidst the explosion, the old man's disheveled figure reappeared. At this ti, there was a hole in his buttocks, blown out by the Exorcism Talisman. He had taken a direct hit, causing significant damage to his spiritual body.
"I'm not running anymore!"
"I'm not escaping anymore!"
"I'm seriously wounded! The hole in my butt won't be fixed even with that bottle of Soul-Nurturing Liquor!"
Clutching his rear, the old man tore off a piece of yellowed cloth from his body and raised the white flag in surrender.
Such shaless behavior left Gu Xiaoqi stunned.
She was preparing to throw the second Exorcism Talisman, but seeing the old man's surrender, she hesitated whether it would be inappropriate to throw another one.
At this mont, Gu Simu jumped down from little Suan Ni and walked to Gu Xiaoqi's side.
"Sister Qiqi, don't attack yet. The inheritance here should still be..."
"When we were catching the old man just now, I sensed so activity related to the inheritance in that direction!"
Gu Simu's Supre Iris radiated golden light as she pointed to the northernmost direction of Feng City. That direction was pitch black, with nothing visible. The old man had been avoiding that direction, clearly evading it intentionally.
"Bad old man, is that where the inheritance is?"
"Do you know how to open the inheritance?"
"If you don't tell the truth and keep lying, I'll let Sister Qiqi throw the Exorcism Talisman at you!"
Gu Simu looked at the old man, feigning a fierce deanor.
At this point, the old man looked at Gu Simu with a dazed expression.
Supre Iris!
Breaking Void Physique!
Qiankun Holy Body!
True Dragon Aura, Divine Phoenix Aura... This child's physique is too terrifying!
Upon getting closer, the old man used his advanced vengeful spirit's strong perception to explore Gu Simu's talents and physique, beginning to question his life.
If he had observed carefully from the start and known about Gu Simu's freakish talents and physique, he would have never attempted to deceive her.
Suddenly, a muffled voice echoed in his mind: "It's the master's aura!"
"No, it's the young master's aura!"
...
"What is this?"
"What's talking?"
The old man was puzzled by the voice. Soon, forgotten mories in the depths of his mind began to awaken. He rembered who the voice belonged to. It was the Immortal Realm's Guardian of the Tomb, the Vengeful Spirit King. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Big fool!"
"You've awakened too? Who is the master you spoke of?"
The old man began to communicate with the Vengeful Spirit King.
This was a way for guardians to exchange ssages. As ancient vengeful spirits, they could even sense each other's experiences.
The Vengeful Spirit King did not speak but transmitted mories of encounters with Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan.
"I see now. That person is indeed your destined master!"
The old man instantly understood. His gaze toward Gu Simu beca even more shocked. The Vengeful Spirit King's mories included Gu Lan's presence, and the old man felt it was astonishing.
