Chapter 228 Instant Eternity
Who is she exactly?
...
"But, Your Highness, this guy must be a skilled demonic cultivator. He has definitely concealed his aura."
"Just think about it, how many Misty Cloud Sect cultivators did he kill, as well as soldiers from our friendly country?"
"Even if he's not a demonic cultivator, everything he has done is no different from one!"
"This person must be eliminated!"
An old man with a severed hand said, with only one arm remaining, holding a pagoda-shaped Law Weapon, ready to suppress Chu Qianqiu at any moment.
Chu Qianqiu found this guy annoying and planned to stab him with a spear.
But now, he held back.
He wanted to see what Gu Wanqing wanted to do.
If this guy still had some goodwill left, he would understand and eliminate the demonic spider in front of him first, and prevent the Gate of Reversal from fully opening.
He didn't mind letting bygones be bygones and dealing with this guy first.
The past could be considered the past.
Now, humanity faced a common problem and needed a united front. This was a matter of life and death.
"I will deal with him, but not now."
"He hasn't attacked us yet, has he?"
"In fact, just now, he could have taken my life, but he didn't."
A woman named Duan Corina stared at the long spear in Chu Qianqiu's hand, her gaze deep, and it took a long time for her to focus on his face.
Chu Qianqiu felt that his weapon had been exposed, and his eyes also flickered with sharpness. He couldn't believe that the other party had known everything all along.
"Exposed?" This was his first thought.
He began to admire this woman who used to be a beggar like him.
How did she see it?
In theory, the Heavenly Fire Spear was invisible and almost undetectable.
But his confidence, now revealed by Gu Wanqing, began to dissipate.
Well, he admitted that he might have underestimated this woman a bit. But since she arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect, her progress had been so exaggerated that it was unimaginable. He didn't know what kind of strange cultivation technique this woman had practiced in this damn sect. Not only could she see through his Heavenly Fire Spear, but she could also upgrade so quickly.
What he hated the most was that it seemed like this guy had really forgotten about him now. The way she looked at people was no different from looking at a passing bird. That curious indifference was the most annoying.
"Your Highness... Have you remembered something?"
Suddenly, while Duan Corina was speaking, a woman behind her interrupted.
This woman's attire was different from everyone else present. She wore a light veil and covered half of her face with a curtain, as if she was cautious about others seeing her appearance.
She lightly stepped on a golden banana leaf fan, swaying like a huge hibiscus flower delicately sewn into a fairy dress. The exposed half of her thigh under the long skirt presented a perfect curve, with a texture as white as jade, causing people to feel confused about her age for a moment. In reality, she was already thousands of years old, an old witch.
But she really knew how to dress herself up. Even without revealing her true face, in front of "Duan Corina," she only looked like a slightly older sister.
"Sister Wanqing, I have a terrible headache for some reason."
"But I... haven't remembered anything."
Corina saw her approaching and respectfully called her sister. Then she described her current Contest Condition.
The woman named "Wan Qing" frowned when she heard this, and the jade pendant on her wrist shimmered. She took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle and poured the liquid inside into Corina's mouth after removing the cork.
"Drink it, your old problem has recurred."
"Okay."
Corina swallowed the liquid made of gelatinous jade. At that moment, perhaps no one noticed, but Corina's eyes subconsciously glanced at Chu Qianqiu as the liquid flowed into her throat.
The speed was too fast, even the woman beside her didn't notice.
But Chu Qianqiu saw it.
He had never felt so strange before. He suddenly felt that he was hidden in a huge falsehood, and everything he had seen before was illusory.
What could it be?
He sensed a tremendous truth approaching. Just in the next second after the strange bottle appeared, just after she looked at him with that kind of gaze.
It was a gaze that was incredibly familiar, emerging from the endless yellow sand, yet like a child trying to catch a straw in a waterfall, unwilling to leave like this.
Those were her eyes. They were still very young at that time, and she often took him to the mountaintop cliff under the starry sky to see the moon.
At that time, she looked at him with that kind of gaze. She often used her small body to shield him, asking the moon and her eyes which one was more beautiful.
He remembered, this person was Gu Wanqing, the original Gu Wanqing from his memories.
But didn't she disappear a long time ago?
It was on Clear Pond Town, when she turned away from her sister.
He had always thought that this person was already dead, until today, when that familiar feeling once again penetrated into the cortex of his brain, seeping into the depths of his memory, she came back to life.
...
"Why did you call her name?"
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Chu Qianqiu finally spoke when he saw her eyes darken again.
At this moment, Chu Qianqiu no longer glanced at the Stephanie named "Corina" because he himself no longer recognized her.
He just wanted to figure out why the veiled woman in front of him used someone else's name so naturally.
And obviously, in the instant he asked, the veiled woman also noticed him. She understood that the reason the Saintess had another "hidden illness" was most likely caused by this young man who looked familiar.
"Who are you?"
She reluctantly said these words. Although a few seconds after speaking, the veiled woman had already guessed the other person's identity, she was hesitant to reveal it because the person in front of her was already a "demonic cultivator." If she recognized him, the other elders of the Misty Cloud Sect would surely understand that they had mistaken the person, which would be very disadvantageous for killing this kid.
She really recognized him, so when she said, "Who are you?" her expression inevitably showed a look of shock.
Yes, it was this guy!
That waste who didn't even have spiritual roots back then in Clear Pond Town!
Perhaps it was him who had been causing the Saintess to be unable to let go, begging to spare his life.
And back then, she had no intention of making a move at all. She even found this trash repulsive and didn't want to look at him for a second longer, let alone dirty her hands.
But now, this guy had become a monster in the Soul Formation stage, standing in front of her... She also had to be wary of him.
What had he experienced all these years...
He was clearly just a waste.
