Chapter 129 My Immortal Life is Missing (3)
However, it does not.
After the demonic energy entered Gu Shijiu's body, it not only didn't make her uncomfortable, but it also disappeared immediately.
Immediately, Gu Shijiu felt her body brimming with power, almost as if she had experienced the same feeling when she killed a ghost.
She pressed her knee against the shark monster's neck, forcefully pulling out its sharp horn and throwing it aside.
The more the demonic energy leaked out, the stronger it became, and Gu Shijiu grew more and more courageous in battle...
The shark monster was really starting to get scared. It had finally escaped from its cage and couldn't afford to die here.
So it risked exposure and revealed its true demonic form.
A massive shark, three zhang long with ten-zhang-long fins on its back, floated in the air: "I'm going to kill you—"
Before it could finish speaking, Gu Shijiu had already used the momentum to leap up, jump onto its back, and tear off its fleshy wing with her bare hands.
The shark monster, which had just taken off, plummeted straight down, smashing a large crater into the ground.
Gu Shijiu remained firmly on its back, punching its back with her fists, and no matter how the shark monster twisted and turned, she was not thrown off.
Finally, the shark monster's spine was broken, its head drooped limply, and it was clear that it was about to die.
Gu Shijiu recalled the cultivation novels she had read, which all said that these demonic beasts were treasures from head to toe, so she thought of putting the corpses into a sachet.
But won't putting this foul-smelling thing in contaminate the other treasures?
While Gu Shijiu was hesitating, he suddenly felt dizzy, his body went limp, and he collapsed next to the shark monster.
As she closed her eyes, she saw a celestial being dressed in white robes waving a sword in the sky.
With each movement, a monster's corpse was severed.
"So amazing..." Gu Shijiu, filled with envy, gradually drifted off to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in bed.
The bed is carved from warm, smooth jade, exuding a gentle aura. The edges of the bed are carved with patterns such as swirling clouds and blooming flowers.
Gu Shijiu lay on it, feeling spiritual energy slowly seeping into her body.
I was surrounded by all sorts of unfamiliar flower petals, which seemed to have undergone special treatment.
Not only is it fragrant, but its aroma also has healing and calming effects.
Golden curtains hung from the ceiling of the bed, embroidered with lifelike butterflies and a sea of flowers.
"Hmm..." Gu Shijiu moved slightly and felt someone scraping her limbs with a knife.
A series of fine, intermittent pains emanated from my internal organs and head.
I hope he didn't hurt his brain again...
Gu Shijiu felt that her already low IQ had been further reduced by the repeated injuries she sustained in the small world.
"Junior sister, you're awake?" A voice suddenly came from beside her ear.
Gu Shijiu then noticed that there were actually three people in the room.
A young boy pounding medicine, dressed in coarse cloth; a young man in a blue disciple's robe; and a young woman.
Upon seeing this, the woman quickly ran over, chattering incessantly: "Sister Ye Yao, you're finally awake."
I went to your practice room to look for you a few days ago, but you weren't there.
Later I heard that you were injured by demons, but were rescued by the Sword Master Qingyun. He said that demonic energy had entered your body and you were also poisoned.
The woman spoke and cried, while Gu Shijiu stared blankly at her.
"Junior sister, is this one or four?" The man in blue held up two fingers.
Gu Shijiu was even more puzzled. This... was it because the mathematics in the small world was different from what she had learned?
"Is it...one?" She could only guess.
The man in blue was shocked, and the woman burst into tears.
The young apprentice also looked worried: "It seems that this demonic energy is swirling in the brain and has a significant impact."
The man in blue muttered to himself, "After the demonic energy entered my junior sister's body, it disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea."
It seems that demons have undergone a new evolution, enabling them to conceal their demonic energy here.
My junior sister's golden core shattered, her meridians severed, and she was invaded by demonic energy. Her injuries require further consideration.
Junior sister, do you recognize the three of us?
Gu Shijiu didn't know how to make up a story, so she could only honestly reply, "I don't know him."
The woman looked like the sky had fallen: "Waaah, Sister Ye Yao, you don't even recognize me anymore."
The man in blue busied himself for a while longer, leaving Gu Shijiu several bottles of medicine and instructions for taking it.
"Junior sister, you eat first. When the elders of my Dan Ding Peak come out of seclusion, they may be able to help your injuries."
"Okay, okay." Gu Shijiu nodded. "Thank you, senior brother."
After the man in blue left, only the person who had been calling Gu Shijiu "sister" remained, staring at her blankly.
"Sister Ye Yao, don't worry, you'll definitely get better." The woman clenched her fist to encourage Gu Shijiu.
"So, what is your name...?" Gu Shijiu asked with a look of eager curiosity.
"I'm Ye Ling, sister, you really don't recognize me?" Ye Ling blinked, looking like she was about to cry again.
Gu Shijiu stopped her: "Tell me about the Demon Tower."
Ye Ling did not stop crying.
Fortunately, like several other girls Gu Shijiu had met, crying didn't affect her ability to speak.
"It is said that Liu Changdong, a traitor of the sect, secretly sneaked back and opened the Demon Tower."
It wasn't just on the day a large number of demons were causing trouble; before that, a small number of demons capable of transforming into human form had secretly poisoned the lone disciples.
Not only the elder sister, but many disciples were also affected, and some even... perished.
After that day, most of the demons were killed, and some powerful demons were captured and taken back.
Some cunning and treacherous individuals even managed to steal the disciples' travel tokens and escape.
The sect leader has issued an arrest warrant; we will strive to capture or kill them as soon as possible.
"Who is Liu Changdong?" This was the second time Gu Shijiu had heard this name.
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment: "Sister, it's better not to ask. This person used to be your master and also the peak master of Yixian Peak."
If people knew you still cared about him, it wouldn't be good.
"Then why did he betray us?" Gu Shijiu added, "Tell me, and I won't need to ask anyone else."
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It is said that he claimed to have divined destiny and was conducting some strange experiments in private."
She knew nothing more.
Just then, someone else came to see Gu Shijiu; it was the sect leader.
Golden Core cultivators hold a relatively high position within the sect, so it's only natural for the sect leader to show concern for them.
"Master Liyang, don't worry too much. Focus on recovering from your injuries. There may still be hope for the future."
The sect leader was also somewhat troubled by Gu Shijiu's appearance.
It's already unlikely that he could rebuild his cultivation after his core was shattered, and his body is filled with poison and demonic energy; he even seems to be mentally unstable.
From now on, I'm afraid I'll only be able to live out my days as an ordinary mortal within the sect.
However, in the world of cultivation, strength is paramount. A former Golden Core cultivator who suddenly falls into the mortal realm due to unforeseen circumstances may not be able to accept it.
The sect leader sighed inwardly.
It took Gu Shijiu a while to realize that Li Yang Zhenren was her Daoist name: "Oh, okay, but I don't remember anything."
Take this opportunity to make the matter of amnesia public, so as to avoid being discovered and burned at the stake.
Gu Shijiu felt that he was unusually clever for once.
