Chapter 469: Not Every Path Has a Way Back
Lin Jiansheng strongly realized that as long as he completely refined Kong Qing’s power, his cultivation level would break through to Level 10!
Lin Jiansheng’s heart rate suddenly increased, but he instantly suppressed it.
Lin Jiansheng took a deep breath and turned around. He walked to Liuli Luoluo and bent down to pick her up. “Are you okay?”
Yu Huang smiled weakly at Lin Jiansheng and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that my scalp feels a little cold.”
Seeing that she could still joke, Lin Jiansheng was relieved.
At that moment, Sheng Lingfeng and Ji Linyuan returned with Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao had forcefully broken through his cultivation level and was seriously injured by Caro Zhengyang. He was unconscious now. Seeing that Yu Huang was worried about Sheng Xiao, Sheng Lingfeng smiled at her comfortingly and said, “He’s just too tired, so he fell unconscious. His life isn’t in danger.”
Sheng Xiao had obtained the inheritance of the Prime Master Tie Feng. His bones were as indestructible as the Prime Master’s. Sheng Xiao was unconscious not because of his serious injuries, but because he had exhausted his spiritual power and fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Huang was relieved when she heard this.
Seeing that Yu Huang was seriously injured, Sheng Lingfeng said, “Go back to Yufu City first. Your injury’s treatment can’t be delayed.”
“Okay.”
After Sheng Lingfeng and the others left, Caro Xiangfu and Liuli Xiangsi also brought their children home.
Mo Yelou and Beatrice stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
Soon, the news that the great fiendish cultivator Ouyang Luo’s soul had yet to dissipate, that Caro Zhengyang and Ouyang Luo had colluded and killed thousands of Beast Tamers over the past hundreds of years spread like wildfire.
Prime Emperor Zhengyang was dead!
Prime Emperor Zhengyang was a demonic cultivator!
The great fiendish cultivator Ouyang Luo was still alive!
The major events were exposed one after another. Today was another day of earthquake in the cultivation world.
* *
In the dark underground palace, Na Luo was lying on her side on a chaise longue made of polar bear fur. She was holding a white laptop in her arms and reading the information on the Beast Tamer Alliance’s website with interest.
“Tsk.” After reading the message, Na Luo closed her laptop and looked up at Su Xuanye. “Caro Zhengyang is dead.”
Su Xuanye was lying on a ma.s.sage chair with a hair wash function and washing his hair. When he heard this, he sneered. “His death isn’thing to cry over.”
“So the person behind Caro Zhengyang is actually Ouyang Luo.”
Su Xuanye was clearly shocked when he heard Ouyang Luo’s name. He tilted his head to look at Na Luo and asked with a frown, “Ouyang Luo? Which Ouyang Luo?”
“Demon Gathering Hand Ouyang Luo. Back then, Prime Master Jing An had clearly burned him to ashes. I wonder how he escaped.”
After knowing that Ouyang Luo hadn’t revived and had only left behind a remnant soul to cause trouble in the human world, Su Xuanye said coldly, “It’s just Ouyang Luo’s soul. It’s nothing powerful.”
At this moment, the ma.s.seuse asked Su Xuanye in a low voice, “Saint, do you still need me to ma.s.sage you for longer?”
Su Xuanye waved his hand. “No need, wash me clean.”
“Okay.”
The ma.s.seuse turned on the tap and washed away all the foam in Su Xuanye’s hair. Na Luo noticed that Su Xuanye had lost a large amount of hair. Her gaze focused slightly and she said with a serious expression, “You’ve been aging a little fast recently.”
Su Xuanye said in a low voice, “My cultivation has been stagnant. My lifespan is coming to an end. By the way, how’s the progress of the things I asked you to do for me?”
Na Luo smiled. “In the next two days. Wait for my good news.”
Thinking of something, Na Luo couldn’t help but say, “The Grand State Master of the Divine Moon Empire was already a Prime Master a thousand years ago. Why is he still alive?” Logically speaking, Mo Xiao should have died a long time ago.
Su Xuanye was puzzled when he heard this question. “I’m puzzled too.”
“Could this person be hiding some secret?”
Su Xuanye thought about it and shook his head. “I don’t think so. I’ve known him for a long time, but I didn’t discover any secrets.”
“That’s a little strange.”
At this moment, Na Luo heard footsteps approaching. She placed the notebook on the sofa, got up, and walked out.
Sheng Yang stood in the dark corridor outside the house. She was wearing a light blue dress, and her long hair was fixed at the back of her head with a unique hairpin. The light from the Night-Luminescent Pearl landed on the girl’s fair face, making her look even more youthful and beautiful.
Na Luo leaned against the wall and asked Sheng Yang, “Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?”
Sheng Yang snorted. “Who eavesdropped?!” She said to Na Luo, “I’m looking for you for something.”
This was the first time Sheng Yang had taken the initiative to look for her after being captured. Na Luo was very happy. Na Luo smiled and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
Sheng Yang blushed, as if she found it difficult to say out loud.
Na Luo frowned. Why was this girl so shy?
“What’s there to be embarra.s.sed about?”
Sheng Yang closed her eyes and said loudly, “I’m on my period. I can’t find tampons!”
Na Luo was speechless.
Na Luo stared at Sheng Yang’s body a few times, making Sheng Yang feel embarra.s.sed. Then, she said kindly, “I’ll go buy it.”
Sheng Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
Sheng Yang turned around and was about to return to her room when she heard Na Luo call her, “Yang Yang.”
Sheng Yang stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn back.
Na Luo asked with a smile, “Do you still drink papaya powder? If you want, I’ll bring you a can.”
Sheng Yang suddenly turned around and glared at Na Luo. “Shut up!”
Na Luo laughed happily before turning to leave.
Soon, Na Luo returned with a shopping bag. They had lived together for two years. Na Luo knew what brand Sheng Yang liked to use and what type she used. Not only did Na Luo buy her sanitary products, but she also bought some snacks and novels.
“It’s boring here. You can read novels to pa.s.s the time.”
Sheng Yang sneered. “Are you afraid that I’ll be bored? Just send me back then.”
Na Luo acted as if she didn’t hear her and walked straight to Sheng Yang’s bed to lie down. Sheng Yang went to the bathroom and when she returned, she saw Na Luo lying on her bed. She immediately frowned and said, “There’s a difference between men and women. Don’t sleep on my bed.”
Na Luo crossed her legs and swayed her fair and seductive long legs. She said indifferently, “If you like, I can spend the rest of my life with you as a woman.”
Sheng Yang cracked an egg and said expressionlessly, “I’m not gay.”
“Tsk.” Na Luo suddenly turned around and asked her, “You don’t like me being a woman, nor do you like me being a man. So you just don’t like me. Yang Yang, don’t tell me that you have someone you like.” Na Luo was still lying on the bed a second ago, but in the next second, she teleported in front of Sheng Yang.
Na Luo’s beautiful and flawless face suddenly moved closer to Sheng Yang. She asked in a cold tone, “Don’t tell me that you like Sheng Zhou.” Sheng Yang and Na Luo used to be very close. Sheng Yang naturally talked to Na Luo about her eldest senior brother, Sheng Zhou.
When Sheng Yang heard Na Luo mention Sheng Zhou’s name, her expression suddenly turned cold. “Na Luo, I’m warning you. Don’t touch the people around me.”
Na Luo covered her mouth and chuckled. “That depends on my mood.”
Sheng Yang couldn’t figure out Na Luo’s style of doing things, nor did she know if Na Luo was joking or serious. She stared at the egg in her hand and instantly lost her appet.i.te.
Seeing Sheng Yang suddenly put the egg down, Na Luo asked her, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Sheng Yang sat on the sofa dejectedly and replied gloomily, “I’m bored and have no appet.i.te.”
Na Luo stared at her speechlessly for a moment before suddenly saying, “Eat the egg. I’ll take you out for a walk.”
“I can go out?” Sheng Yang immediately looked up at Na Luo, her eyes shining.
She really didn’t know how to hide her thoughts. Her emotions were all displayed on her face.
Na Luo nodded. “Yes.”
Sheng Yang quickly ate the egg and urged Na Luo, “Let’s go out!”
However, Na Luo was in no hurry to leave. Instead, she walked towards Sheng Yang. Sheng Yang was worried that Na Luo would turn into a man and molest her again, and her eyes immediately revealed vigilance. However, Na Luo only raised her hand and took off a hairpin that Sheng Yang had inserted in her hair.
Sheng Yang’s expression changed.
Na Luo broke the hairpin and the positioning pearl hidden in it immediately rolled out. Na Luo picked up the pearl and the smile on her face disappeared. She told Sheng Yang, “Yang Yang, don’t play tricks in front of me. Your tricks are too childish.”
Sheng Yang felt a chill down her spine and subconsciously straightened her back.
Sheng Yang would always hide some small things on her body. Although Na Luo had taken away her interspatial ring, she still had some small things that Na Luo hadn’t discovered. Among them was this locator hairpin.
When the hairpin saw the sun, the locator bead would be awakened. Sheng Lingfeng would be able to sense Sheng Yang’s location and come to save her.
This was also the reason why Sheng Yang wanted Na Luo to bring her out for a walk.
But Na Luo easily saw through her tricks.
Na Luo crushed the locator bead and ordered someone to change Sheng Yang into a clean black dress. Then, she left the underground palace with Na Luo.
The underground palace was very large and filled with traps. Without Na Luo leading the way, Sheng Yang couldn’t get out at all. When she got out, Sheng Yang’s eyes were covered with a black cloth, so she couldn’t see anything.
She only knew that she had followed Na Luo for a long time before she sensed the light.
Na Luo helped Sheng Yang take off the cloth on her. Sheng Yang opened her eyes and realized that she was beside a cafe. Behind her, there was a three-story bookstore!
Who would dare to believe that the entrance to the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization was actually a bookstore?!
At this moment, Na Luo had already changed her clothes.
She was wearing a white collared sweater, tight black leggings, and white shoes. Her short blue hair was tied into a small ponytail and hidden under her cap. She looked as low-key as the female university students on the street. However, her fair and beautiful face made her the most eye-catching person wherever she went.
Sheng Yang looked at Na Luo and felt that her Na Luo had never changed. She was still that kind and cute mermaid girl.
However, she knew very well that that Na Luo was a facade.
Perhaps it was because she had been locked underground for too long, but when she finally saw the sunlight, Sheng Yang was mesmerized by the warm sunlight. She suddenly said, “Na Luo, don’t be a bad person with Su Xuanye anymore, okay?”
Na Luo’s smile froze on her face.
She tilted her head and looked at Sheng Yang. When she met her clear and caring gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Na Luo didn’t dare to look Sheng Yang in the eye.
She looked up at the piercing sunlight above her head and sighed. “Not every path has a way back.” Not everyone wanted to turn back.
She never regretted what she had done. She only regretted being on opposite sides with Sheng Yang.
