Chapter 307: Chapter 199: Qingcang Revival_3

Yu Hua’s voice was softer than usual, but by now no one dared make any dissenting sounds.

Wu Kong, the City Lord, also bowed his head and said,

"Yes."

The single word "Yes" already made the people present sense something unusual.

Gu Wen looked at Yu Hua. Sensing his gaze, she turned her head with a slight smile, the curve of her lips shallow, soft, and warm.

The affection in her eyes hadn’t lessened but had undergone a drastic change. It was once somewhat aggressive, but now it could only be described as gentle.

Like a mother.

-----------------

After Wu Kong, the City Lord left, the atmosphere remained silent.

Yu Hua usually gave them a sense of oppression that was not small, often even sarcastically biting at others, but she wasn’t difficult to get along with after prolonged contact. After all, she was also young, and there was no generation gap in communication.

Chi Yu Zi got along quite well with Yu Hua, usually only going to Gu Wen and Yu Hua to have her hair combed.

Now, although there didn’t seem to be any changes on the surface, a sense of inexplicable oppression rose in their hearts.

"Little Aotang."

Yu Hua beckoned, and Ao Tang, still somewhat skeptical, suddenly widened his eyes, then scampered over, wagging his donkey tail.

"Qingcang, you’ve really come back to life? Hahaha, with this, my Daoist Sect no longer needs to crash into Jianmu. My cave dwelling is like having mountains of gold and silver savings, and I haven’t even had the chance to spend them."

Qingcang shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you’re still the same as before, and it served you right to be beaten by Yu Hua."

From this, the people around confirmed that Qingcang had come back to life!

Could it really be that simple?

Their faces showed joy, but Gu Wen, after an initial burst of happiness, gradually calmed down.

He had hoped for Qingcang’s revival, but the known information indicated that there was a price to pay for such a revival. If it was so simple, there would have been no need to go through so much trouble.

My mentor promised me that Yu Hua wouldn’t die; now it might be a last burst of brightness before extinction.

At that moment, Jun Yan made his way through the crowd, knelt on both knees, and said, "I beg of Qingcang Immortal, help me expel the evil from my body."

Qingcang glanced at him, and with a slight motion of his hand, Jun Yan stood up involuntarily and said, "Child, I don’t have the extra strength to help you now. The Heavenly Demon’s method used Ten Thousand Demons as parasites, and the Heavenly Corpse is one of them. You’re the same as him."

Before he finished speaking, Jun Yan’s body surged with Demonic Qi, and his voice changed to a harsh tone, "Qingcang...don’t meddle, or else..."

"Silence."

With a flick of Qingcang’s fingers in the void, a breeze brushed past, extinguishing the black Qi continuously emerging from Jun Yan’s body.

It also created cracks in his flesh, his skin covered in fissures like that of porcelain.

"He is one with you; you can no longer distinguish between each other. Your compromise is also a thread of life."

Jun Yan, in pain, clutched at his chest, his fingernails digging into the flesh, and asked in a low voice, "Are you saying, I can replace it?"

"Perhaps. There’s a fifteen li difference between saving a life and taking one. To save a person, you need a warm house, enough food, the right herbs, attentive care, and even then there are no guarantees of survival, whereas to kill, you only need a fist."

Qingcang twirled a strand of hair around her slender jade finger and with a gentle pull, transformed the hair into a Spirit Pill.

"It contains a strand of True Qi, able to extinguish you and the Ten Thousand Demons inside you, but it can’t remove the rotten flesh all at once. There’s one chance in a thousand; fail, and you die."

Gentle yet heartless, a contradictory portrayal of the most realistic image of people from that wild and desolate era.

Choice is a luxury. The only concept Qingcang understood and practiced was struggle. No matter the situation or the enemy faced, there was only struggle.

The Human Race had no room for choice, only the path of resistance.

"Thank you, Immortal, for bestowing the Pill."

Jun Yan didn’t hesitate to kowtow three times, then took the Pill, giving a carefree smile, "At least it’ll ensure that I can take down the old man."

"Do you still need this?"

Gu Wen took out a wooden token engraved with the name Jun Yan, containing his Divine Soul.

Jun Yan shook his head and said, "Keep it as a memento. It’s also a rare Magic Treasure that can protect the Divine Soul; you might want to refine it a bit."

"That sounds rather creepy."

Gu Wen was a bit disdainful, but still put it back in his pouch.

Then he pushed Chi Yu Zi in front of Qingcang, saying cheerfully, "Ancestor Master, take a look at my friend too."

Qingcang smiled, shook her head, and spoke softly, "Her problem is for you to solve. That Golden Core is quite powerful and can be your future whetstone. You must understand, among Immortals, there are the strong and the weak, and you cannot stop at just becoming an Immortal."

She stood up, glanced outside at Luodu, and then reached out her hand to Gu Wen, suddenly changing her manner of address.

"Would you come out with me for a look?"

"Alright, Ancestor Master."

"Call me Master."

"Alright, Ancestor Master, Master."
