A glow descended from afar, and Song Weiyu walked out from it, quickly approaching Gu Lan. She looked at Chai Zhi lying on the ground and imdiately frowned, "Did sothing happen?"
Gu Lan briefly explained the situation.
Song Weiyu was so angry that her face trembled, "This beast actually had the audacity to bully my disciple! Lan’Er, restore him quickly; I’ll kill him again. No! I’ll kill him a hundred tis!"
Gu Lan shook her head, "Master, you’re too extre."
Song Weiyu looked aggrieved, "Lan’Er, you’re just too kind! This beast, he must have bullied others often, relying on his cultivation to act lawlessly. There are too many people like that in the world. You, too, when encountering such people, should just destroy them directly, instead of troubling yourself with conversation and dirtying your ears."
"How could I know what kind of person he was before saving him?" Gu Lan said, "I only knew soone was injured."
"That’s why I say you should stay in the fields forever. With your temperant, you’d definitely get bullied in the Jianghu."
Gu Lan muttered, "I’m not so dumb. Can’t I tell good from bad... It’s clearly you who always drives away those who want to talk to , regardless of good or evil."
"I was just afraid you’d be bullied."
"Sigh." Gu Lan didn’t want to say more. She looked at Chai Zhi on the ground, frowning slightly.
Song Weiyu asked, "What is it?"
Gu Lan said, "This man’s death is strange. There’s no trace of anything else on him, yet he didn’t die from his own problems. I want to know how he died."
Song Weiyu sighed helplessly. She knew her beloved disciple’s occupational habit had resurfaced. It was the sa when farming; she had to find the root cause of any problem.
Subsequently, Gu Lan began using the Evolutionary Dao, attempting to trace the incident back from Chai Zhi’s sudden death.
Noticing this, Fan Wubing imdiately asked, "We won’t be restored to the past, will we?"
Jiang Sha smiled without answering.
Soon, Gu Lan frowned, "Hmm?"
"What is it?" Song Weiyu asked.
Gu Lan said in a deep voice, "I actually can’t restore it. His state is fixed."
"What do you an?"
"That is..." Gu Lan thought for a mont, "’Sudden death’ has beco his only state, even his purpose for existing in this world." Finding this explanation inadequate, she added, "In other words, all his paths of change have turned into that mont of ’sudden death.’"
Song Weiyu, not as skilled as her disciple, was confused, "So, is he completely dead?"
"Hmm, maybe." Gu Lan frowned, her blue eyes flickering brightly, "What kind of power killed him, that even the Evolutionary Dao cannot intervene?"
Song Weiyu exhaled, "Alright, let’s not worry about this. There’s work to do."
"Hmm." Though Gu Lan was puzzled, she knew what was urgent.
The two of them floated away.
Fan Wubing watched Gu Lan’s direction in a daze for a long ti.
Jiang Sha waited patiently for him to co back to his senses, then smiled and asked, "Is she really that beautiful?"
Fan Wubing sniffed, quite frankly, "Beautiful. But unfortunately, I can’t reunite with her now."
"It’s alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Fan Wubing was stunned, am I being comforted? He looked at Jiang Sha, whose eyes remained unfazed and indifferent, uninterested in anything. He asked:
"What Senior Sister Gu Lan said earlier, is it true?"
Jiang Sha looked at him, "Yes."
Fan Wubing pressed on, "Doesn’t that an that Mahayana, Tribulation Immortals can also be killed? As long as they are fixed at the mont of death, no matter what ans of resurrection they have, they can’t use it!"
"Hmm. That’s why they’re so afraid of , wishing they could eat my flesh alive." Jiang Sha’s voice was light.
Not just them, even Fan Wubing started feeling afraid.
With such an exaggerated ability, who wouldn’t be scared! Killing silently, without a trace or distance, and not allowing any chance of resurrection.
"But how did Senior Sister Gu Lan save him earlier?"
Jiang Sha laughed, "Because I wanted her to save him."
Fan Wubing stared blankly at Jiang Sha, "Why?"
Jiang Sha squinted, "Yes, I just wanted to see you show the expression you’re showing now."
Fan Wubing’s heart raced.
He felt like Jiang Sha was a puppet master, and everyone here, including him, was her puppet. Unknowingly, they beca the characters in her play.
This woman is terrifying!
And soone with such power, reduced to needing care in daily life.
So, is the real terror the Heavenly Dao?
Fan Wubing thought of the senior sister who wanted to "kill the Heavenly Dao," and suddenly felt gloomy.
Jiang Sha faced the sea, her voice seed to waver in the wind, ethereal and illusory, "Don’t think too much. Many things are like this; the more you focus on them, the less you’ll find answers. A person who can handle things at hand well will surpass all."
Fan Wubing asked, "Where do you want to go next?"
Jiang Sha’s gaze was distant, "Go feel the sea breeze."
Fan Wubing took Jiang Sha to the seaside.
The waves crashed into the void, the sea breeze howled, ruffling Jiang Sha’s long hair.
In the distant sky, nurous cargo flying ships were constantly flying from the north to Taiping Continent, dark and dense like rapidly moving clouds. They brought hope, yet also seed to herald so kind of crisis.
Fan Wubing’s thoughts were chaotic, thinking of many things.
Until dusk fell, he finally ca back to his senses, "We should head back."
Jiang Sha didn’t respond; she tilted her head in the wheelchair, motionless, her chest still as if she were a corpse.
Fan Wubing hastily grabbed her left hand, feeling its cold decay, his heart tightened imdiately, injecting vitality into her body, and began pressing her fingertips, palms, tiger’s mouth, forearm, and elbow as Liu Qingqing taught him.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.
Fan Wubing felt deeply guilty, "I’m sorry, I got distracted and didn’t notice your condition in ti."
Jiang Sha softly said, "It’s okay, it’s normal to make mistakes the first ti. Let’s go back; it’s ti to prepare for rest."
Fan Wubing felt complex; he realized Jiang Sha is truly fragile, and any neglect might cause her to remain forever asleep.
"It was my negligence, I’ll be careful in the future, always keeping my attention on you." To not fulfill a promise made him feel guilty.
"Hmm."
"Also, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell imdiately." Fan Wubing said very earnestly.
"Hmm, okay." Jiang Sha lowered her eyelids, thinking everything is accelerating...
Fan Wubing led Jiang Sha back to Slaughter Hall.
Accompanying her for a while reading books, he started preparing for bed. To prevent any issues, he kept her close at all tis, never leaving her side.
Even though Jiang Sha said not to be so anxious, he did so anyway. He wouldn’t make the sa mistake twice.
After preparing everything, lighting incense and bathing, Fan Wubing opened the coffin lid, laid down the mattress, and carried Jiang Sha into the coffin. After massaging her left hand, he sighed and said:
"Alright, you can sleep now."
Lying in the coffin, Jiang Sha said to Fan Wubing, "Lower your head, co closer to ."
Fan Wubing obeyed.
Jiang Sha raised her left hand, gently touched Fan Wubing’s forehead with her index finger.
Fan Wubing felt an energy seed hovering within the Purple Mansion, "What is this?"
Jiang Sha said, "A gift for you."
"A gift?"
"Hmm, a comndation for you."
"For what?"
Jiang Sha laughed, "For successfully completing today’s work."
Fan Wubing was paused, softly saying, "Where was it successful."
But Jiang Sha didn’t speak anymore, her life force quickly receding, bright eyes turning leaden gray, slowly closing, as if covered by dust, decayed and silent, indistinguishable from a corpse.
After watching for a while, Fan Wubing closed the coffin, activated restraints, then activated the array in the room, and left.
The entire palace beca deathly still.
Only then did Fan Wubing touch the gift that Jiang Sha praised him for.
The mont he touched it, a notification popped up before his eyes —
