Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way

Chapter 181: Who Said You Could Leave?

Ive got to do it NOW! That was the thought that arose in the Huangquan Evil Ghosts heart when it looked at the furious You Hantian glaring at Gu Suihan with bulging eyes.

It then turned to look at Gu Suihan, who was smiling in the wind with his black hair flapping wildly and surrounded by enough violent qi to fill an ocean. Its heart skipped a beat in fear. But after struggling internally for a moment, it decided that it was going to get out of You Hantians grasp, even if that meant Gu Suihan might sell him out.

Gu Suihan might betray it, but You Hantian was definitely going to hand it over to the empire. Thatwould be a life worse than death!

Flaming Blood Imaginary Heavenly Shield! The Evil Ghost bit its tongue and spat out blood while You Hantians attention was still focused on Gu Suihan, and a blood rune appeared. The rune instantly enveloped it and opened a crack in front of it. It squeezed into the crack without even turning back.

Theres even the presence of Buddhism? Gu Suihan was shocked as he looked at the numerous glittering runes of the formation in front of him. He rotated his dao moves, and the aura around him changed drastically. He was now like a bodhisattva who was merciful to all living creatures and saved the world from its suffering. His eyes were shut slightly, and there was a kind expression on his face. He thrust a palm out, and thousands of words started spinning. The majestic aura that filled the air shocked the other sect leaders.

Is this fellowa monk from the Pure Land Temple side? murmured Zhan Wuchang absentmindedly in shock.

No idea The rest shook their heads as their lips twitched.

Damn it, these bunch of monks must be tired of living. Zhan Wuchangs eyes lit up with a tinge of slyness in them as he shouted these words angrily while silently retrieving a jade slip that could record what was going on.

Since none of them knew where Gu Suihan had come from and he was about to destroy the seal over the Devils Abyss, thenthere was now someone to be the scapegoat for this mess.

All the leaders instinctively looked at one another, then turned away almost immediately after that.

In that instant, they had clearly reached an agreement.

Once I hand this ghostly creature over You Hantian looked down, and his expression froze. He sent out his spiritual sense and instantly saw the Huangquan Evil Ghost just 30 meters away from the pavilion.

We must capture that thing! You Hantians expression darkened. He raised his hand, and a sword shot out from his sleeve toward the Evil Ghost.

Zhou Lingfeng and the other sect leaders made their move as well. They drew their swords and cast spells, creating enough murderous qi to fill an abyss as they directed all their attacks at the Evil Ghost.

Save me The Evil Ghost turned around to look and nearly collapsed in terror on the ground. It yelled with all its might at Gu Suihan, I know whats going on with the Devil Abyss!!!

Gu Suihan brought his palm down, causing the runes of the seal over the well to shake violently. The golden light whooshed, and the runes began to fly. Wisps of Buddhist aura spread through the air, and the seal looked like it was about to break.

But when he heard the yelling of the Evil Ghost, he couldnt help but pause. He immediately leaped onto the seal, used that momentum to spin himself around, and drew his saber at the same time.

Six Slashes of Mara Obliterate the Heavens!

A reddish-black glow shot out from the blade, and the murderous qi in the sky hardened into a layer, shattering all the laws of nature before it. The attacks from the sect leaders were broken, except for You Hantians sword, which was rife with murderous qi. It stopped for a while before continuing on its path toward the Evil Ghost.

I tried my best! Gu Suihan fell to the ground weakly and leaned against the well.

Damn it! The Evil Ghosts expression hardened and looked frightening now. It was sure that You Hantian wanted to capture it alive, so he wouldnt launch a fatal attack unless he had no choice.

Bam! Its lower half was blasted to bits. A bloodied mist filled the air, and the broken chunks of flesh could make a wall. The Evil Ghost had met with that terrifying sword head-on even as it swooshed toward the pavilion like a rocket.

Annihilate the Stars Twist Heaven and Earth! Gu Suihan used yet another secret technique, and blood seeped from his pores. His face was deathly pale, but his eyes shone brightly like the stars, flickering with an eye-catching glow.

Kaboom! Lightning flashed, and thunder boomed overhead. A whirlwind that covered 300 meters slowly came down from above, then a giant eyeball appeared. There was a tinge of fury in its pupil as it glared fiercely at Gu Suihan.

That secret technique had deflected its sneak attack once more.

You piece of trash, how dare you try and stop me! bellowed Gu Suihan as he proceeded to pop pills from several bottles into his mouth. Energy filled his body rapidly and nourished his insides. Dao runes appeared on his bones, and its golden glow was dim. His blade was as red as blood yet black as ink. Blood-colored flames arose, and murderous qi solidified. He swung his saber down with a shocking burst of energy.

Shuanger and Jingjing watched this oddly familiar scene unfold before their eyes as they stood at a distance and couldnt help but feel a terrible pain in their head.

They both shrieked in pain as the memories that Gu Suihan had banished to the back of their minds slowly came back together. Tiny green sparkles kept flowing bit by bit out from their consciousness and disappeared, replaced by those memories that had been hidden away.

It was you The two of them collapsed to the ground weakly and had conflicted looks on their faces as they stared back at Gu Suihan and uttered these words at the same time.

Lets go! Gu Suihan grabbed hold of the Evil Ghost and flew up, breaking through all the devilish qi in the sky as well as the evil qi that kept spreading all around them. Without hesitation, he leaped into the well even as the Evil Ghost shrieked in horror.

Immediately after the two of them fell into the well, the entire place seemed to stop. It was as if everything had been in slow motion for a second before suddenly moving at a hundred times the usual speed.

HUMPH! A scoffing sound boomed as loudly as thunder, and all the disciples from the major sects instantly bled from every orifice. They all collapsed onto the ground and were barely breathing. The sect leaders stumbled several steps backward and spewed fountains of blood from their mouths repeatedly.

You Hantian and Great Elder Lu, the only two Nascent Change cultivators, quickly sat down to meditate. Their faces were as pale as a sheet.

Did I sayyou could leave? A powerful voice came crashing down from above, making Gu Suihan literally bounce back to where he had come from.

Whowho are you? The giant eye in the sky moved slowly and fixed its gaze on the flying ship that was flying closer and closer to it. Its gaze was solemn, andit seemed a little afraid as well.

Youre just a puppet! Get lost! The person in white on the flying ship snorted as he glanced disdainfully at the giant eye. The laws of nature instantly exploded, and everything fell silent. The giant eye was actually forced back into hiding inside the whirlwind.

Hes at Divine Soul! Gu Suihan coughed several mouthfuls of blood out. His nearly translucent complexion had a tinge of bitterness in it.

Shuanger! The middle-aged man in white on the flying ship ignored the various gazes staring at him and raised his hand, causing Shuanger to fly onto the deck of his ship.

He had a fatherly yet guilty expression on his face as he looked at her closely, then sighed. He didnt do anything, but Shunager could feel the sharp pain in her head slowly disappear, replaced by a refreshing feeling of relief.

The middle-aged man was relieved to see that Shuanger was alright. He took a step out of the ship and walked down as though there were invisible stairs in the sky. Youare too bold, he said quietly as he looked straight at Gu Suihan.

His voice was soft, but it resounded like thunder in Gu Suihans ears.

The soundwaves shook his barely recovered spiritual meridians so hard that they fell apart again.

Im not really that bold, said Gu Suihan quietly. His cheeks slowly reddened slightly as though he were very shy.

You wiped out my partial soul, gobbled up Qingming, and used his body to solidify your own. Then you massacred thousands and evenand even attempted to break the seal over the Devil Abyss, which would unleash a great catastrophe on the world. And you say youre not really that bold? The middle-aged man was smiling, but that was a smile that carried no happy emotions whatsoever.

Gu Suihans gentle features slowly calmed down. An indifferent gaze that seemed able to pierce through infinity and looked like it had seen much more of the world than anybody else was in his eyes as he raised his head slowly and stared straight at the middle-aged man. Make a wild guess. Would you be able to stop this catastrophe?

Humph! The middle-aged man scoffed and opened his mouth to speak when the ground suddenly started shaking violently.

The deep, intersecting trenches in the ground instantly exploded with a thick layer of black, devilish qi.

Ba-thump! Ba-thump! A sound that resembled the sound of a heart beating became clearer and clearer.

Each time the earth shook, the barely breathing cultivators lying on the ground would spew blood and groan in pain as they clutched their hearts.

HAHA! Do you know how many living creatures Ive slayed? said Gu Suihan as he laughed loudly, ignoring the blood dribbling out his mouth and staining his clothes. Instead of calling me a human, it might be more appropriate to say that Ima devil.

Immediately after he uttered those words, fiendish qi appeared and transformed into a blood-red long robe around his body. He had a disturbing smile as he looked at the cultivators in front of him.

In that instant, he had transformed into a devil.

Everyone knows that a cultivator at the Origin Core stage will refine fiendish qi and store it inside the body. Yet, nobody seems to realize that fiendish qi is a type of devilish qi. So, tell me now. Do you think those creatures will see me as a foreign creature? Gu Suihan stabbed his saber into the ground and straightened his bent body. He carried the almost unconscious Evil Ghost on his shoulders and had a mocking smile on his face that seemed somewhat maniacal at the same time.

Then, as they all looked on in horror, he jumped right into the well.

The middle-aged man did not stop him from doing so. Or rather, he didnt dare to stop Gu Suihan from doing that.

Becauseeven more terrifying things lay beneath the surface of the ground. Something that could threaten his own life.
