"What exactly do you want to say?" Li ngnan looked up, curiously staring at the smiling divine statue.
She could feel that this guy wanted to express sothing, but Li ngnan didn’t have a Demon Soul, and without the other party speaking, she couldn’t receive any ssages.
Yiren was still nurturing her fetus. If she were here, she could help convey the thoughts.
Unconsciously, Li ngnan turned her head to look at Du Yu.
"Um..." Du Yu raised his hand, looking like he was about to answer a teacher’s question, "Golden friend, whatever you want to express, shall I convey it for you?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li ngnan nodded repeatedly, like a little chick pecking at rice, "Let him help translate it."
Seeing Li ngnan nod, the golden statue hesitated for a mont, and its head turned.
Its smiling face looked at Du Yu, while its sorrowful face naturally turned forward.
Li ngnan looked up at that compassionate, weeping face, gradually getting lost in it, her palm subconsciously holding the large golden hand.
The girl felt sowhat uneasy inside.
The expression of this divine sculpture was just too emotionally powerful!
Not to ntion Li ngnan who was observing closely, even Lin Shiwei at the back was sowhat stunned.
In contrast, Du Yu was greeted with a smiling face from the divine sculpture.
Without hesitation, the Demon Soul flew out of his body, reaching to grasp the golden statue’s hand.
Although the other party had only one head, it had three faces.
Beneath each face was a torso, but only the upper half.
The golden body was also clad in a layer of exquisite golden armor.
The only human-like feature of this being was its lower body, which had only two legs, identical to the Human Race.
That said, two legs with three upper bodies seed awkward no matter how you looked at it...
As the Demon Soul Du Yu’s hand touched the golden hand, a voice full of majesty shook Du Yu’s mind:
"The Demon Robe is seeking ."
Du Yu’s heart jolted: "Demon Robe?"
He suddenly understood. No wonder countless white-robed wandering souls were forcing Demon Beasts to search the city; they were looking for you?
While thinking, the Demon Soul Du Yu naturally sensed the energy fluctuations of the Golden Body Divine Statue.
This was also an Ancient Spiritual Artifact?!
Well, well~
Jihua Village truly was a place of great feng shui, with two Ancient Spiritual Artifacts resurfacing at the sa ti.
Du Yu asked: "May I ask your esteed na?"
"Spirit-Slaying Pestle."
Spirit-Slaying Pestle?
Such a na reminded Du Yu of many things.
Du Yu’s main body raised his hand, pressing on the invisible headphones, establishing contact with Yang Qingqing and others who were not present.
While inquiring, Du Yu tried to relay the information as thoroughly as possible: "Since you’re called Spirit-Slaying Pestle, are you an artifact ant for destroying Spiritual Artifacts?"
Several streets away, at the top of the towering building.
Yang Qingqing frowned slightly upon hearing the sudden voice in her ear, leaning closer to listen.
Inside the mall, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle, smiling, looked at Du Yu: "Human Race, you are very wise. Long, long ago, the Demon Robe and I fought fiercely here."
Li ngnan called out, full of curiosity: "Du Yu?"
"I’ll tell you," Du Yu imdiately spoke, conveying the intentions of the Spirit-Slaying Pestle to everyone.
Spirit-Slaying Pestle: "Alas, the enemy was too strong, and my forr master and I, along with the demonic being and the Demon Robe, ended up perishing together.
Although my forr master perished, I have been entangled with the Demon Robe to this day, now able to return to the mortal realm."
As the Spirit-Slaying Pestle spoke, Du Yu translated continuously.
Suddenly, the weeping face of the Spirit-Slaying Pestle opened its eyes.
It, eyes filled with tears, pointed at Li ngnan: "Only within a human can I unleash my full power. Are you willing to lend your strength to tear apart the Demon Robe?"
After Du Yu translated the words, Li ngnan was a bit dazed.
"Huh?" Li ngnan blinked, "But I... I’m not a Spirit Master, I can’t form a contract with you."
Saying that, Li ngnan pointed at Du Yu and Lin Shiwei: "Besides, I’m not strong, but Second Brother and Third Sister are Spirit Masters, and they’re quite powerful!"
You could tell, the big brother really considered Du Yu and Lin Shiwei as family.
For such an artifact to take the initiative to recognize a master, Li ngnan did not have the slightest greed, instead pushing Du Yu and Lin Shiwei forward?
As the Spirit-Slaying Pestle continued to communicate, Du Yu’s expression beca sowhat peculiar.
Lin Shiwei: "What did the Spirit-Slaying Pestle say?"
Du Yu pursed his lips: "He said, only Li ngnan possesses a heart for destroying Spiritual Artifacts. As for us two..."
Lin Shiwei: "What about us two?"
Du Yu shook his head helplessly: "We both want to subdue the Demon Robe, rather than tear it apart."
Lin Shiwei slightly raised her eyebrows, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle’s ability to observe was indeed strong?
The judgnt was surely accurate!
With the ergence of an Ancient Spiritual Artifact, she naturally wanted to conquer it, not destroy it.
Whoever in the team possessed the Heaven-covering Robe would greatly boost the squad’s strength.
As for Li ngnan...
Just now, the girl was genuinely angry, having witnessed the catastrophe the Demon Robe brought to the city firsthand.
At that mont, with her anger blazing, Li ngnan probably had a heart to tear the Demon Robe apart!
"What a pity, what a pity." The Spirit-Slaying Pestle sighed, withdrawing the golden hand.
Seeing this, Du Yu quickly took a step forward, grabbing the golden hand: "Don’t go, don’t go, we can negotiate, Brother Chu!"
Spirit-Slaying Pestle: "..."
At the sa ti, Yang Qingqing’s voice ca through the headphones: "We absolutely cannot allow two Ancient Spiritual Artifacts to duel in the city; it would be a catastrophic disaster."
"Hmm..." Du Yu’s mind raced, suddenly suggesting, "Brother Chu, why don’t you grant Li ngnan a share of Spiritual Qi!
I’ll provide protection for you, let her change professions to beco a Spirit Master right now, how about it?"
Yang Qingqing was surprised: "Hmm?"
She held back and held back, ultimately choosing to trust Du Yu’s decision.
Lin Shiwei’s heart was slightly stirred, as she herself was a product of Du Yu’s protection.
Each ti Spiritual Qi entered a Demon Tar’s body, it risked being extinguished by Demon Breath.
Back then, after conquering the Shadow Gu Tower, Lin Shiwei gained a share of Spiritual Qi.
Also, under the guidance and protection of Du Yu’s Fire Spiritual Qi, she found an independent acupoint for the pure Spiritual Qi.
Afterward, Lin Shiwei transitioned to beco a Spirit Master.
"This thod is feasible!" The Spirit-Slaying Pestle was clearly not soone willing to settle.
Likewise, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle was very persistent and focused.
As for the era this is and why demon beasts are rampant, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle paid no attention.
There was only one thought in its mind: tear apart the Heaven-covering Robe!
It makes sense; both the masters and spiritual artifacts perished simultaneously.
In these hundreds of years of darkness, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle and the Heaven-covering Robe must have been racing against ti.
Both were desperately seeking rebirth, trying to repair their bodies first to annihilate the other.
With such an obsession, it was only natural that the Spirit-Slaying Pestle ignored worldly affairs.
Presumably, the Heaven-covering Robe, sharing a similar mindset, didn’t care about the disaster its actions brought to the city.
For hundreds of years, being a step away from avenging its enemy, who would care about anything else?
The problem is...
The two ended up in a tie, both reerging today.
Or perhaps, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle erged an hour or two later than the Heaven-covering Robe?
Anyway, to gain a leading advantage now, it must choose a new master.
The Spirit-Slaying Pestle clearly stated that only in the hands of the Human Race could it showcase its true power.
Moreover, the Spirit-Slaying Pestle must ensure that its chosen new master intends to destroy the Heaven-covering Robe.
If it acknowledges soone like Du Yu who wants both spiritual artifacts...
What kind of master would that be?
A cunning and deceitful tycoon?
"Bah!" The Spirit-Slaying Pestle bellowed, causing Du Yu’s head to buzz.
It placed a large golden hand on Li ngnan’s celestial skull.
Du Yu hurried forward, calling out in his mind to Little Fen Yang, "Help out, Burning Sun."
"Sure~" Little Fen Yang responded charmingly, "I like Sister ngnan."
Du Yu: "Uh."
Little Fen Yang: "When I reshape my body, I’ll co out to play with her."
All along, Little Fen Yang had noticed how Li ngnan cared for Du Yu’s demon pet.
Which demon pet wouldn’t like such a kind and caring beautiful sister?
"Steady your mind, try to disperse the demon breath along the way." Du Yu placed a hand on Li ngnan’s shoulder.
"Got it." Li ngnan felt a wave of fire spiritual qi enter her body, paving the way and guiding the pure spiritual qi of the Spirit-Slaying Pestle.
"That’s it, the Spirit Ruins Acupoint!" Du Yu said in a deep voice.
Little Fen Yang gently gathered the fire spiritual qi, centered in the left side of Li ngnan’s chest, where a rich spiritual qi was contained.
Li ngnan held fast to the Spirit Ruins Acupoint and asked, "What’s next?"
Du Yu: "Leave it to fate!"
Li ngnan: "Eh?"
Du Yu: "Master Qing, Senior Brother Fu, and Shiwei all awakened on their own. They are naturally gifted and don’t need the enlightennt of the Twin Trees."
second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds...
Li ngnan looked a bit disheartened and whispered, "I think I need to undergo the enlightennt ceremony under the Twin Trees."
Du Yu’s expression was not pleasant, quickly retracting his demon soul, fearing the other would notice his emotions.
Indeed, his thoughts were the opposite: Not awakening? That’s good!
Are we supposed to be exceptionally gifted!
How can we compare to those three saviors?
We must go under the Twin Trees to awaken!
The compassionate face of the Demon-Subduing Pestle suddenly turned, rage transferring to the front, glaring at Du Yu with bulging eyes!
Are you kidding ?
Du Yu quickly raised his hand to make a stopping gesture, "The enlightennt ceremony is quick.
You and Li ngnan go to the nearest Twin Tree Demon Spirit Realm, it’ll be done in just a few minutes!"
The Spirit-Slaying Pestle hesitated, "Hmm..."
Du Yu continued to persuade, "Hide for now, leave the city with ngnan to find the Twin Trees, then return swiftly to catch the Heaven-covering Robe off guard!"
The Spirit-Slaying Pestle was silent for a mont, then suddenly shrank.
Instead of hiding underground as Du Yu suggested, it transford into a Vajra Pestle.
The middle slightly thinner, with concentric arcs, resembling a grip.
Its legs turned into the pestle’s tip.
Its head turned into the round ball at the pestle’s end, with three faces surrounding it: a smile, a frown, and sadness.
The Spirit-Slaying Pestle was entirely golden, about 23 centiters long, quite exquisite!
"Go, Shiwei, take ngnan to find the Twin Tree Realm." Du Yu instructed.
The clever Lin Shiwei had already understood Du Yu’s intention!
Master Qing said, under no circumstances should two ancient spiritual artifacts duel in the city.
And Du Yu was using this thod to try to have the Spirit-Slaying Pestle hide and leave the city!
Li ngnan held the Spirit-Slaying Pestle, wanting to say sothing, but Du Yu stopped her, "Listen, go quickly!"
"Oh." Li ngnan opened her clothes, hid the Spirit-Slaying Pestle under her abdon, and the two swiftly flew out of the mall.
Watching their departing figures, Du Yu shouted, "Have Bai Lu find out the full abilities of both sides, the more detailed the better!"
Lin Shiwei did not look back, just waved her hand.
Du Yu sighed in relief, pressing the invisible headphones, "Master Qing, they’ve left with the Spirit-Slaying Pestle."
Atop the Faraway Building, Yang Qingqing looked up at the sky-covering white robe, her fingers pressing her ear, "Good!"
Yang Qingqing was full of praise for Du Yu’s quick thinking.
The disciple usually behaved too well and was too kind to those around him.
She almost forgot, after the rookie training camp ended, Instructor Gong had rated Du Yu as "cunning"...
Next, before Li ngnan transfers her profession, should we subdue the Heaven-covering Robe?
Or quickly mitigate the damage, have Li ngnan head to the wilderness, and lure the Heaven-covering Robe there to restore peace to the city...?
Regardless of the choice, our side was much more proactive.
Yang Qingqing said, "Co back."
Du Yu: "Yes."
