Chapter 1718 – Again
Translator: La0o9
A severed head flew into the sky.
In that instant, the surrounding scenery abruptly changed.
Gloomy grey clouds.
The sky was as dark as the deep abyss.
A dark mountain manifested in the darkness, winding on the banks of a faint yellow river.
Yellow fog drifted above the river as the water carried the dead into their reincarnation.
The Huang Quan realm had manifested!
Gu Qing Shan focused his vision and understood.
——this was the same as when the County Magistrate died.
Whenever a Chosen Saint dies, Huang Quan would manifest to receive the soul of the Chosen Saint.
The middle-aged man’s soul swiftly manifested from the void of space.
He stared deeply at the blade-wielding woman and declared full of grudge: “Damn you! Despicable! I’ve already awakened a Samsara Divine Skill, but you ruined my Saint Selection opportunity. Once I reincarnate, I will definitely not let this pass!”
Hearing that, the woman suddenly chuckled and let go of her blade.
The blade scattered in mid-air, turning into pieces of bones that each manifested into a number of skeletons, then further manifested into—–
Seven women in black palace clothing.
As the soul saw these seven women in black palace clothing, he seemed to have recalled something and exclaimed in shock: “The Tianma Blade of True Soul! Wait—– don’t kill——“
His voice was cut off.
The seven palace maids chanted in unison from the distance: 『 The path to Huang Quan is far and forgetful, reincarnation is full of suffering, let’s stop where you are 』
In that instant, the entire vision of Huang Quan seemed to have been frozen solid, not even the middle-aged man’s soul could move at all.
At this point, the woman on the horse finally leapt off and landed in front of Gu Qing Shan like a dancing heavenly figure.
She caught the severed head just as it fell from the air and muttered: 『 I’ve never been afraid of people getting revenge, but you won’t even have that opportunity 』
The woman closed her beautiful eyes and took a deep breath towards the middle-aged man’s severed head.
Something immediately changed——
The soul that was already heading into Huang Quan was sucked away from the vision of Huang Quan by the woman’s inhale.
The soul went back into the head, then turned into fine smoke as it entered the woman’s body through her nose before it disappeared.
Instantly, everything stopped.
The vision of Huang Quan became transparent and faded away from the world like a dream.
The world returned to normal.
The seven palace maids bowed towards the woman before turning back into bones and reforming into a blade, deeply stabbing itself into the ground.
The woman put the blade away and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
『 My bad, I bothered you during your scam 』 the woman sarcastically said.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: “Li An, you acted too quickly, I was originally going to dig more information from him”
The woman’s eyes lit up and hurriedly asked: 『 You remember me? 』
“Hm” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
『 What about your memories? 』
“I’ve recovered them all”
Li An sighed in relief and muttered: 『 I knew it, not even the two Unfathomable Apocalypses managed to do anything to you… of course… there is still hope 』
Gu Qing Shan looked at the body on the ground and regretfully said: “It took so much effort to find a lackey… this was someone who managed to awaken their Samsara Divine Skill, he would have been a lot of help but you killed him just like that, hah!”
Li An glanced at him a few times before laughing: 『 Why are you acting so petty for such a minor matter? I immediately came here from thousands of miles away to save you as soon as I found out about your situation——- fine, since I killed one person, I’ll give you back one person 』
She put the severed head back on top of the headless body, then leapt forward and vanished without a trace.
Li An had disappeared, but the body on the ground opened its eyes.
The middle-aged man slowly stood back up and told Gu Qing Shan: “I also need a body to conceal my movements, after all, the Heavenly Palace is after my head”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “Did you possess him?”
A transparent image of Li An appeared behind the middle-aged man.
The image slowly became opaque and turned back into Li An.
She put her hand on the middle-aged man’s shoulder and explained: 『 I’m now his master, I know everything he knows, I can use all of his abilities as well as being capable of controlling his body 』
She continued: 『 Now, you won’t need any subtleties or think of an excuse for him to work for you—– I’ll tell you whatever you wish to know and fight along your side 』
『 ——So? 』Li An lifted her chin and asked.
“Impressive, but I’ve been constantly changing the direction of my movement, so how did you find me?” Gu Qing Shan praised her and asked.
Li An emerged completely from the middle-aged man’s body, then walked around Gu Qing Shan while answering him: 『 I could sense the activated power of the Wraith realm emanating from your body… Since you’re the only Chosen Saint of the Wraith realm, you might have had some sort of unique opportunity that I didn’t know about, but the gist of it was that you activated the Wraith realm’s power and initiated the hidden secret of the Samsara 』
Gu Qing Shan was surprised: “How do you know that?”
——the Highest Sequence had informed me that when my Merit value reaches ‘3’, the Samsara would unlock the Five Element War Mode for me.
The Highest Sequence had especially mentioned that this was a secret of the Samsara, so it couldn’t be revealed or there would be disaster.
But Li An knew about it!
Li An looked straight at him and answered: 『 Of course I would know, we Tianma… are the only surviving race of the Wraith realm, it’s natural that we know a lot of secrets 』
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan felt a sense of silent pain from her tone.
The Wraith realm is already empty with nothing but the Tianma race left.
The Tianma race has always been extraordinary.
—–their perception of the Samsara is surely beyond that of the living beings of other realms.
Gu Qing Shan said: “I can’t go into details regarding this matter or there might be a disaster”
Li An nodded in understanding: 『 Indeed that is true, this is an unspeakable secret. For a certain while, I will remain by your side and fight with you 』
Gu Qing Shan looked straight at her and didn’t say anything.
Li An looked straight at him in return and asked: 『 Or do you wish to go back on your pledge? 』
—–when he fought against the two Unfathomable Apocalypses, Gu Qing Shan had made a vow that if the Tianma race came to his aid, he would lead them into the Samsara Clash for Supremacy, going through thick and thin together.
“This Gu Qing Shan had never gone back on a vow” Gu Qing Shan sternly answered her.
『 But you’re more of a fraud than any of us Tianma 』Li An said.
“—–So are you here to help, or to sabotage me?” Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
Li An scoffed, but let that matter slide.
Gu Qing Shan told her: “Right now, I need to kill an Elemental monster in order to initiate some sort of change”
『 Very well, I’ll come with you 』Li An replied.
She twirled her body and went back into the middle-aged man’s body, vanishing without a trace.
The middle-aged man then turned around and headed towards the horse.
“We’re going to take a ride, it’ll be faster” the middle-aged man said.
“But there’s only one horse, there’s not enough room for two people” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“We can ride together, don’t worry, this is a very good horse” the middle-aged man said.
Gu Qing Shan appeared hesitant.
The middle-aged man glared at him and shook his hip: “What? We’re both men here and you’re going to act embarrassed?”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t have the courage to offend this girl, so he could only take out the Gloom Orchid and gloss it over: “Wait a moment, let me summon a supporter”
Hearing him say that, Li An could only sit still and wait on one side.
Gu Qing Shan lifted the Gloom Orchid and activated [Moon Invitation]
Red threads manifested from the void of space and formed into a gate of light in front of the two of them.
Lines of text quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
[The method of summoning for Moon Invitation is currently random]
[Attention: As you have a common Title with a certain sleeping person, the chances of you summoning them would be increased]
[Through the name of the ‘Pure Love Gang’, you’ve once again awakened another member of this group]
The gate of light opened.
A shirtless man appeared.
He was wearing a white pair of pants, barefooted, but the pair of boney skeletal wings on his back was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as he appeared, he exclaimed in surprise: “Why me again!?”
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly said: “Don’t fly, definitely don’t fly!”
The man answered: “Of course, I wouldn’t waste another chance”
He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a cold metal can, boasting triumphantly:
“—–This time, I brought the highest quality healing beverages!”
