Capítulo 1458: Chapter 1458: Life and Death Lies in a Single Thought
He seed impatient afterward; he detested threats more than anything in his life.
He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and whispered, “Let’s go.”
Gu Qiaoqiao also felt that talking to this person was a waste of ti, but her mind stirred, thinking Ouyang Wensheng surely knew who was behind all this.
He had just co to The land of Huaxia, so how did he know?
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t believe he had the ability to foresee the future. If he truly had that ability, he would have attained immortality, or he would have long expelled the death qi from his daughter. Why would he be standing by the roadside here, negotiating with her?
Then, how did he know?
Perhaps that person was related to him.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao recalled two familiar nas: Old Thief He and He Shan.
Gu Qiaoqiao lightly clenched her hand, her expression chilly. If it really were them, she didn’t understand what their motive was.
They were different from Gu Cheng; even if the Gu Family fell, they wouldn’t get any wealth.
Not even the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map would end up in their hands.
These thoughts ca and went in the blink of an eye. Gu Qiaoqiao nodded to Qin Yize and then looked at Ouyang Wensheng. “Mr. Ouyang, I advise you not to ddle in Gu Family affairs. It won’t benefit you.”
Ouyang Wensheng’s expression changed instantly.
These two youngsters really didn’t give him any face.
A sinister light glinted in his eyes, and he said, word by word, “What if I insist on ddling?”
“Ouyang Rong will never be able to rid of the death qi on her, and it will also affect those around her.” Gu Qiaoqiao continued before Ouyang Wensheng could get angry. “If you stop now, the death qi on Ouyang Rong will completely dissipate in about two years. But that’s assuming she stays quietly on the island, commits herself to doing good, and doesn’t go around eradicating entire families…”
“Gu Qiaoqiao, you’re insolent!” Ouyang Wensheng finally couldn’t contain his anger anymore. His brows furrowed, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Then his finger twitched, seeming to intend to do sothing, but Qin Yize coldly snorted and reached for the back of his waist.
There was a murderous gun there, which broke the illusion he had set with just a bullet earlier.
Although he wanted to kill Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize, he had to ensure a hit.
Otherwise, according to San Qi’s description of Gu Qiaoqiao, he definitely couldn’t leave with composure.
Not to ntion, there was also Qin Yize, full of a sharp aura.
Before he could weigh his options, Gu Qiaoqiao spoke sternly, “I finally figured out where Ouyang Rong’s words co from. I just don’t understand; as the world continuously develops and advances, why do so people still act as if having power makes them number one and want others to hand over what they desire on a silver platter? If refused, they want to wipe out their enemies’ families. Who granted them this authority?”
Gu Qiaoqiao spoke rapidly, giving Ouyang Wensheng no ti to react before her voice rang again, “The path to longevity is difficult; the skills granted by heaven are not ant for gratuitous squander. The lives of ordinary people are also lives and just as valuable. I imagine you know the saying, ‘People committing deeds, Heaven observing.’ The situation before you is the best depiction of this proverb. If you hadn’t sought to destroy my Gu Family’s Yubao Square back then, how would your daughter have returned ho with such death qi? Isn’t this Heaven punishing you?”
“Gu Qiaoqiao, shut up!” Ouyang Wensheng was truly enraged and humiliated.
Gu Qiaoqiao remained unafraid; she and Qin Yize weren’t pushovers, and she was no longer the Gu Qiaoqiao who could be easily bullied.
“Mr. Ouyang, I sincerely warn you, death qi is the greatest taboo for those practicing cultivation. What I said earlier is true, not a threat. Go back and tell your daughter, this death qi is the negative aura of the world. If she doesn’t devote herself to goodness and continues harboring evil thoughts, it will result in a terrifying vicious cycle. If you don’t believe , go ahead and test it. I, Gu Qiaoqiao, will always be here.”
“Gu Qiaoqiao!” The veins on Ouyang Wensheng’s forehead throbbed wildly. When had he ever been lectured this way, especially by a young girl?
His hand started to rise, forming the gesture of a spell command, but a pitch-black gun barrel aid at him.
Then, Gu Qiaoqiao flicked her fingers, and a chilling Ice Arrow Talisman stood suspended before her, restless, as if awaiting the owner’s command to attack.
Ouyang Wensheng’s hand froze in midair, his eyes widened in shock.
Even San Qi and Ba Jiao didn’t know Gu Qiaoqiao could draw talismans in the sky.
This was the thod of drawing talisman spells, one that every Mystic Sect mber yearned for.
He had a lot of talismans, but even they would run out eventually, and when they did, he would need to find a quiet place, using special pens and paper to concentrate and draw.
But sky-drawing talismans didn’t require that; once proficient, a re finger movent resulted in a spirit talisman, endlessly usable.
It truly made one’s heart shiver.
Ouyang Wensheng’s face turned pale and green while his chest heaved violently. Finally, he slowly lowered his hand, rembering what San Qi said before he left: Gu Qiaoqiao is unfathomable.
Capable of guiding the world’s death qi, capable of drawing talismans in the sky at will…
So, what else did she have that she hadn’t shown?
In this fight, he had no chance of winning; that pitch-black gun barrel was also chilling, and though Qin Yize was said to be a normal person, his aura definitely wasn’t ordinary.
That intimidating air was sothing only soone who had experienced life and death could have.
Ouyang Wensheng finally cald down, placing his hands behind his back.
That posture signified giving up the attack.
Qin Yize’s starry eyes flickered with a dark light and quickly lowered the gun.
Gu Qiaoqiao then flicked her fingers, and the Frost Sword swiftly turned into a vapor, disappearing into the air.
The atmosphere at the scene turned silent.
The expressions of the three were different, and none of them spoke.
After a mont, Ouyang Wensheng laughed heartily, though the gloom in his eyes and the deep-seated fear were unmistakable.
If this were the past, it wouldn’t take years for Gu Qiaoqiao to replace him as Sect Leader.
Then he would have to bow down to her.
In the world of the Mystic Sect, there’s another rule that Gu Qiaoqiao doesn’t know: the victor becos king!
If it were the past, Ouyang Wensheng’s failure today would be because he didn’t dare to make a move, so it’s fortunate no one knew, or he would lose his last bit of dignity.
Also fortunately, despite Gu Qiaoqiao’s astonishing talent, she was still ignorant.
That secured his full retreat.
