After waking up, Pei Shurou felt even more confused. The recognition of the two "Chu Xuans" clashed in her mind.
One was the long-dead Celestial Evil Demon Venerable, the other a disciple of the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace. How could they look identical and even have the sa na?
Moreover, why didn’t she recognize him at first?
Could it be that he was the reincarnation of that person?
No, no, no, reincarnation couldn’t be that simple. How could anyone reincarnate with the sa appearance and na?
This Chu Xuan must have a significant connection with the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable of the past...
Facing Pei Shurou’s complex gaze, Chu Xuan could only try to appear sincere, even though inside he cursed his own shalessness.
She watched him for a while, then closed her eyes again, silently shedding tears, which left Chu Xuan at a loss for what to do.
After a while, he cautiously said, "Fairy Pei, your injuries are serious. Do you need to help you up so you can channel your energy to heal?"
"Don’t touch !" Pei Shurou suddenly opened her eyes and shouted. Her look was more of fear than a warning.
Chu Xuan sighed internally, lanting how a righteous fairy like her had been ruined like this.
He raised his hands and said, "I won’t touch, I promise not to."
"But your current physical state isn’t good. If you drag it out any longer, your life might be in danger."
Pei Shurou closed her eyes and remained silent for a while, then tried to sit up with difficulty. But as soon as she moved her injured left shoulder, she fell back in pain.
Chu Xuan wanted to help her up, but didn’t dare, leaving him awkwardly standing there.
Suddenly, he had a bright idea, "Fairy Pei, I won’t touch you directly. Can I help you up from a distance?"
Pei Shurou bit her lip and finally nodded.
Thus, Chu Xuan used the "Move the Sun and Moon" technique, gradually lifting the lady from the ground into a posture with her five hearts upward.
During this process, for so reason, Pei Shurou’s breathing beca a little erratic.
And she kept her eyes closed. After sitting up, she struggled to take out a bottle of pills from her storage treasure, even trembling as she uncorked it.
Seeing her take the pills and begin channeling energy, Chu Xuan finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as she was conscious, things would be easier. Once recovered to a certain degree, he could take Pei Shurou back to the surface to et up with the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion side.
Even if they encountered the Blood Robe Old Monster, Pei Shurou would have the strength to contend, ensuring that both wouldn’t perish here.
As for her recognizing that he was most likely the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable... Chu Xuan still thought he had to find an opportunity to "correct" her perception.
His level of suspicion was so high that there was little chance to completely clear his na; he could only steer Pei Shurou towards the "reincarnation" misunderstanding.
This way, Chu Xuan would be "innocent," and if Pei Shurou rembered his life-saving grace, she probably wouldn’t spread the word.
Of course, if her hatred for Celestial Evil reached the extent of "hating even the house and its crow," seeking revenge no matter what, then Chu Xuan would be in real trouble.
While Chu Xuan was painstakingly contemplating how to handle this without leaving any hidden dangers, Pei Shurou suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell again, her injuries seemingly worse than before.
Startled, Chu Xuan no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly went to support her, "Fairy Pei, what’s wrong?"
Pei Shurou struggled to breathe and still said, "Don’t, don’t touch ."
However, Chu Xuan no longer allowed her to be willful, carefully channeling magical power into her body and using Divine Sense to investigate. He quickly found out that the culprit was still that bloody handprint.
It was absorbing Pei Shurou’s vital blood and continuously enhancing its blood-attribute magical power.
Previously, when Pei Shurou didn’t channel energy, it was fine. But when she did, it caused the two magical powers within her to clash, worsening her injuries.
This "Blood Spirit Scripture" was indeed both sinister and terrifying, worthy of being a top-tier Celestial Tier cultivation technique among the evil paths.
So what should he do now? Chu Xuan tapped his head, desperately hoping to recall sothing. He should have seen this cultivation technique before.
Suddenly! A rumbling vibration ca from above the ground, causing the underground cave to tremble slightly.
Chu Xuan’s face changed. So related information flickered in his mind:
The blood-attribute magical power cultivated by the Blood Spirit Scripture, once it invaded the enemy’s body, if there was any disturbance, could be sensed by the original owner within a certain range.
That ant the one causing the disturbance now was precisely the Blood Robe Old Monster!
Most likely, he had been lurking nearby, unwilling to give up. The recent magical power disturbance had given that old creature a location to focus on. He was currently digging fervently, trying to unearth them.
This relentless pursuit wasn’t just to capture Pei Shurou. It’s also because Chu Xuan’s precious relic had aroused greed in that creature.
Chu Xuan imdiately lifted Pei Shurou and left again using earth escape techniques.
Fortunately, for safety’s sake, he had escaped particularly deep before, over a hundred miles from the surface, so that Blood Robe Old Monster couldn’t easily reach them here.
Moreover, afterward, as long as Pei Shurou didn’t channel energy to resist, the blood-attribute magical power wouldn’t stir, and the opponent couldn’t locate them again.
If truly pushed to the limit, Chu Xuan could take her and drill directly into the underground realm. Let’s see how you’d chase us then.
Of course, given Pei Shurou’s current physical condition, it’s not suitable to venture into such ghostly places like the Eight Hot Hells or Eight Cold Hells. These would only be options as a last resort.
