Chapter 217: Disguised as a Cultivator
Su Jinxi still remembers that thousands of years ago, when she was just a little demon, the human side launched the "war to exterminate evil".
They launched a joint operation to crush the notorious "Great Alliance of Evil Cultivators," a coalition of numerous unorthodox and heretical cultivation practitioners and renowned evil cultivators!
At that time, the Demon King had just ascended to the throne, and he did not intend to expose his "grand plans" to humans too early.
Therefore, at that time, humans spent a lot of money to ask certain powerful demon clans in the demon realm to help them wipe out the evil cultivators.
The Demon King readily agreed.
Since they could kill humans and get paid, why not go? The patriarch of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan even went. It is said that the battle was fierce, with the sky darkening and day and night indistinguishable. Two powerful cultivators at the Saint level even perished, but in the end, the Evil Cultivator Alliance was completely wiped out.
Of course, the "righteous" forces also suffered considerable losses.
It is said that some powerful beings at the Saintly Realm suffer severe injuries that are difficult to heal, and they completely lose the opportunity to advance further in this life; some even experience a regression in their cultivation.
The Hall of Evil Souls is one of them.
Anyway, Su Jinxi heard from the old demons in her clan that almost everyone in the Evil Soul Hall, from the hall master down to the ordinary members, had been buried.
But that happened a long time ago.
The "war to exterminate evil" happened when she was two hundred years old. She must be over four thousand years old now. So much time has passed, and given that humans have the advantage of having many offspring, it's not surprising that the Evil Soul Palace has risen again after all these years.
In any case, the Evil Cultivator Alliance can never reappear. "But what are these evil cultivators trying to do, kidnapping ordinary people and low-level cultivators here?"
Su Jinxi observed the mountain range.
Could there be some kind of treasure here that would interest evil cultivators?
Yes, that's fine too.
These evil cultivators probably don't know that Gu Heng could kill them all with just a flick of his finger.
She should just continue being a silent cat.
Su Jinxi took her short legs and slowly followed behind the evil cultivator.
……
The evil cultivators imprisoned all the captured people in a large stone cave at the deepest part of the valley.
"I beg you! Please let me go! Please let me go!"
"Kill us if you want, why lock us up?!" After being locked up, the room immediately filled with extremely pessimistic wails and pleas for mercy, as well as curses, but without a doubt, these words had no effect whatsoever.
But Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao remained quiet.
Even if she were alone, Qin Yiyao would have dared to charge out by herself with her sword, after all, she was not an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, and the sword in her hand was a Saint-grade divine weapon.
These people can't stop themselves.
But Qin Yiyao was very curious about what Gu Heng wanted to do, because as soon as he came in, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
If even her master is so unhurried, what does she, as his disciple, have to worry about?
"How to do how to do……"
Gu Heng remained silent.
He was trying to figure out a way to break the deadlock.
How to escape, which direction to go after escaping, and what to do if these people catch up... A bunch of questions were swirling in his mind.
The system is useless now and can't help him.
There was nothing in the system shop that could help him, and he didn't need to look at the bow and arrows in his backpack; poison might not be effective.
But Gu Heng was always prepared. If these guys tried to harm Qin Yiyao, he would just release the poison and explode himself with them!
About half an hour later.
Two men in black robes arrived, and with a flick of their black whips, they coiled around the ten people like venomous snakes, rendering them unable to move, and then dragged them away from the cave.
Unable to resist.
These cultivators could manipulate them at will.
"What do you want to do?!"
The people being dragged away screamed. "Hmph...you'll find out soon enough."
The man in black robes grinned maliciously: "I advise you not to struggle, or you won't be able to die a quick death."
This threat is very effective.
It wasn't that they stopped struggling, but rather that they knew their fate was certain death, and their faces turned ashen, so they stopped resisting.
Gu Heng became anxious.
Damn it, these guys took away ten people at once. The people in this cave can only be taken away in four trips at most. Next time, it might be his and the little girl's turn!
No, I have to try!
Take action!
Gu Heng suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up.
Got it!
There really was such a useless treasure, which might save the two of them. Gu Heng looked at the dull golden disc in the corner of the system's inventory and took a deep breath.
This is it.
This is the last item the system gave away, because Gu Heng only got this golden disc in his inventory after he had maxed out all his skill proficiency.
At the time, I thought that since I had finally mastered all the skills, the system would give me time to train, but that wasn't the case.
Gu Heng has only discovered one function of this thing called the "Heaven-Mending Divine Disc".
That means he can "disguise" himself as a cultivator.
Or rather, to "disguise" the aura of cultivators at various levels.
When Gu Heng first got the plate, he already knew that, given the nature of systems, the name would always be the most appealing, while the function would always be the most useless.
But to my utter surprise, the system was this vicious! It denied him any chance to cultivate, crushed his hope, and then proceeded to give him something like this…
The only reason Gu Heng didn't throw the plate away was that there was only one of it. Although the system was being quite unreasonable to him, he couldn't just throw things away carelessly.
Now, this thing can come in handy!
Gu Heng quietly took out the golden disc. Qin Yiyao saw it and wondered what it was for.
then.
As a faint starlight emanated from the disc, she suddenly realized that she could sense a Dao power emanating from her master that she had never been able to perceive before!
She was somewhat bewildered. After all, even if her master wasn't in the Immortal Realm, he must at least be at the Ascension Stage. To see through his cultivation level, one would probably need to be at least a Saint.
Now, for the first time, he sensed Gu Heng's cultivation level from his aura. But, it was only equivalent to the first level of the Integration Stage?
What's happening here?
