Chapter 112: Chapter 112: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 26)
The light dissipated quickly, as if it had never existed at all.
Zhao Ximing dared not conceal anything and immediately paid a visit to the Celestial Master Teacher.
“Are you telling the truth?” Celestial Master Xing He suddenly stood up from his seat.
The little uncle-grandmaster was a key figure being nurtured by the Astrolabe Sword Sect; they could not afford any mistake.
Zhao Ximing shook his head, “Disciple only received this strange message, whether it is true or not was unable to be verified in such haste, hence I rushed to seek an audience with the Celestial Master Teacher.”
Celestial Master Xing He glanced at him, “You did well, I will handle this matter as quickly as possible.”
Celestial Master Xing He swept his Divine Sense outward, issuing several orders.
Soon, the feedback he received furrowed his brow.
Venerable Ling Xiao was in seclusion, Venerable Ling Yun was not at the sect, and the little uncle-grandmaster was likewise not within the sect.
“Notify Celestial Masters Xing Yue, Xing Yun, and Xing Feng to come to Astrolabe Peak!”
Zhao Ximing did not know what decision the Celestial Master Teacher had made. After coming down from Astrolabe Peak, he used a few Godspeed Talismans, hurrying towards Linquan Villa.
Gu Shengyin felt very cold.
The feeling of her essence blood being forcibly extracted was truly unbearable, and even though the system had shielded her from the pain, the dizziness and the progressively chilling sensation caused by the excessive blood loss wouldn’t go away.
“Will I actually die here?” she jumbled speech with the system, struggling to maintain consciousness.
It seemed the system responded with something, but Gu Shengyin didn’t hear it; she fell into a deep, murky sleep.
“Young master, we’ve extracted far more than half of the essence blood from her heart; it’s more than enough to treat the Fire Poison,” one reported.
Xi Liufeng nodded in satisfaction, “You did well, take care of this person for me. Remember, leave no trace.”
He left with the Jade Vial filled with Gu Shengyin’s blood.
The remaining man approached the bed, preparing to act. Observing Gu Shengyin’s face, grown pale and somewhat translucent from excessive blood loss, he hesitated.
With a greedy gaze upon Gu Shengyin’s flawless white visage, the man felt his throat become dry, murmuring, “Such unparalleled beauty, it truly is a pity to dispatch her in this fashion, perhaps…”
Of course, he couldn’t do it here, or the young master would surely blame him.
The man picked up the unconscious Gu Shengyin and left through a hidden passage.
He carried her to an uninhabited place.
Suddenly, his body shook, as if he was hit by some invisible attack, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
The system paid him no mind; given it was a system’s product, the man wouldn’t wake up for a good ten days or half a month.
“Host… host, please wake up quickly!” The system looked at the increasingly pallid face of the host with some urgency.
It had never been so frustrated with itself for being merely a guiding system, unlike some of its peers that could provide physical assistance to their hosts.
The system sensed the approach of someone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
