When Wang Mu recognized the figure at the end of the Ice Prison, he froze.
Brother Qin... The Gu Witch of the Fengyue Sect? How could she be here? Wasn’t the Immortal Mansion’s gate opened by Mo Xilan? Could it be that she entered earlier?
Back at the Fengyue Sect, he had heard Mu Hongyuan ntion sending her to the Great Wilderness to sever feelings in a certain secret realm. Wang Mu’s mory wasn’t very clear. When he later returned to the Fengyue Sect, he hadn’t heard anything about where this Gu Witch had actually gone. He assud that probably only Mu Hongyuan had authority over her, and the other Elders couldn’t interfere.
Since I’ve encountered an acquaintance, then things should be easier, Wang Mu thought.
Judging from the geography of the various places in the Immortal Mansion, before Mo Xilan opened the Immortal Mansion’s gate, this peculiar little world must have been accessed by others as well. Moreover, since Mo Xilan could open the gate, Mu Hongyuan, whose strength was similar, could very likely do the sa, which wasn’t so surprising.
He just hadn’t expected to find Gu Yuqing here.
Was Mu Hongyuan the one who sent her here for severing feelings?
Reflecting on the past events on the Feeling Severing Bridge at the Fengyue Sect... Wang Mu hesitated for a mont, looking at her, and thought to himself, I wonder if she has severed them or not...
Rationally speaking, it would be better if she had. With my relationship with Mu Hongyuan, her being caught in the middle would definitely not be good.
Wang Mu thought for a mont and then decided to greet her first.
「On the other side.」
"Brother Wang, how did you co to be here?"
The Moon Wheel behind Gu Yuqing flickered faintly. As her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Dark Moon Wheel possessed an Artifact Spirit and could understand its master’s will, fluctuating with her mood. This revealed the considerable turmoil in her heart at that mont. Had she not stepped away from the ice pillar, the Moon Wheel would probably have vibrated even more frequently.
Could it be... he ca looking for ?
Gu Yuqing’s ice-sealed heart suddenly quivered.
Only in his presence had my Master ntioned that I must co here for severing feelings... Could it be... he had co here after going through imasurable hardships? He... he... does he still hold a place for in his heart? But would my Master allow him to co? My Master would never let him, but he still ca. Moreover, he didn’t even know where this place was or how dangerous it could be, yet he still entered...
At this thought, Gu Yuqing fell silent, her mind starting to tremble slightly.
"Huh?"
"What’s the matter with you? Your mind had just cald down from severing feelings, so why is there such a violent fluctuation now? You’ve been cultivating the Six Desires Treasure Book and have extinguished the six desires, which is a critical mont to condense your Heartless Dao. Logically, you shouldn’t be having such intense emotional surges..."
The strange voice clinging to Gu Yuqing seed to perceive this as well and sounded quite perplexed, "Could it be that you recognize Dongfang Mu? Well, that scoundrel was surrounded by countless won a thousand years ago. It’s no surprise that having reerged, he would also have won around him..."
"How so, has he also wronged you?"
"No." Gu Yuqing shook her head.
"What do you an no?"
"It’s not Dongfang Mu," Gu Yuqing said.
"If it’s not Dongfang Mu, then who?" The strange voice seed extrely surprised and imdiately denied, "Impossible. No one could make it here apart from Dongfang Mu. This is the Immortal Mansion she left behind, especially this final Ice Prison area. Aside from Dongfang Mu, no one else could have reached this place even if they entered."
"You must be mistaken."
"I am not mistaken."
"Then this is interesting..." the strange voice cackled. "With her calculations, there absolutely couldn’t be the slightest error... Soone who can walk through here and yet is not Dongfang Mu must be inextricably linked to Dongfang Mu in so way."
"Wait, that emotional surge... could it be the man you’ve been pining for in your heart?"
Gu Yuqing remained silent.
"It seems so..." the strange voice sounded amused. "Look at you, the Six Desires Treasure Book can’t even suppress the emotions in your heart. Could it be that you think he has co here for you?"
"Touched?"
"No," Gu Yuqing said. "I was just thinking... with his level of cultivation, it would’ve been incredibly arduous to reach this place. Or perhaps... he made so kind of deal with my Master. Otherwise, with his power alone, he shouldn’t have been able to arrive here."
"What’s his level of cultivation?"
"It seems... he seems to have ford his Golden Core."
Wang Mu had condensed his Golden Core during that one year with Mu Hongyuan. Her impression of Wang Mu was still from the ti he was at the Foundation Establishnt stage.
"What’s his na?"
"Why should I tell you?" Gu Yuqing said. "I only agreed to help you kill Dongfang Mu; I don’t want to discuss the rest."
"HAHAHAHA..." The strange voice suddenly burst into loud laughter. "What, are you afraid of ?"
Gu Yuqing gave a cold snort but did not reply. She had always been very wary of this mysterious and strange voice that clung to her.
"Then let ask you, do you truly wish for severing feelings?" the strange voice suddenly asked. "If you really don’t want to, I have a way to bring you two together here."
Gu Yuqing was slightly taken aback. ?
At this mont, Wang Mu also approached.
"Brother Qin... Fellow Taoist Gu, are you alright?" Wang Mu greeted.
He had intended to call her Brother Qin. However, he felt the current Gu Yuqing, with the cold gleam of Xuanbing in her eyes and an ethereal beauty, seed to have completed her severing feelings; her gaze toward him was no longer the sa as before.
"..." Gu Yuqing did not speak.
"What, are you considering it?" the strange voice drawled. "Although I don’t know the story between you two, if he truly ca here for you, it shows his sincerity."
"Your Master isn’t anything good, trying to separate two lovers. I can’t stand to watch that."
