Chapter 383 The Crystal Coffin Under the Cold Pond

Instantly, Gu Sheng was pulled by two old women and his whole body was checked.

Then, the two old women showed surprise.

"It can be used as a holy weapon."

One of the old women replied.

"Yes, it is unparalleled in the history of time."

Another old woman also echoed.

Yan Ruyu nodded with satisfaction.

Bai Yiyi also smiled.

"It seems that I have chosen the right person."

Yan Ruyu said, and said softly: "Mr. Zhou, if you have any needs or dissatisfaction, you can tell Yiyi, she will fulfill all your requirements, but the premise is that you have to stay here and don't do anything else."

"Hey! Did I hear it wrong? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Gu Sheng was a little impatient.

But Yan Ruyu didn't seem to want to explain so much, and was ready to turn around and leave.

"Hey! Yan Ruyu! Hey!"

Gu Sheng called twice, but Yan Ruyu ignored him and left with the two old women who were checking the body.

Bai Yiyi stood there and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are the first person to talk to His Highness like this."

"Tsk, I don't care so much, but what do you mean? Can you tell me?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look.

Bai Yiyi looked at Gu Sheng's curious and hesitant look and couldn't help laughing.

She walked slowly to Gu Sheng, her tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable firmness, and said: "Mr. Gu, you may not know that what we want is for you to become the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart."

"Ah?"

Gu Sheng frowned when he heard this, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

He almost subconsciously took a step back, with a tremor in his voice: "Demon Emperor's Heart? Did I hear it right?"

Bai Yiyi shook her head gently, as if she had expected Gu Sheng's reaction.

She patiently explained: "The Demon Emperor's Heart contains infinite power and wisdom. Ordinary cultivators on the other side or beyond the other side can't get close at all!"

"Well, I know this."

Gu Sheng nodded.

Seeing Gu Sheng answer so easily, Bai Yiyi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why? Have you seen it?"

"Yes."

"What does it feel like?"

"Two words, terrifying!"

Gu Sheng let out a sigh of relief, as if he had returned to the scene when he saw the Demon Emperor's Heart.

Bai Yiyi smiled and continued: "When you become the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart, the power of the Demon Emperor's Heart will also nourish your body. It will complement each other, isn't it perfect?"

Gu Sheng frowned again and replied firmly: "No, I can't agree. Although the power is good, I would rather not have it at the cost of losing myself."

Bai Yiyi did not show disappointment, but just sighed softly.

"Mr. Gu, do you know that becoming the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart will not only gain the power, but also Her Highness Yan Ruyu will marry you and spend the rest of your life with you."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng's heartbeat accelerated suddenly.

In Gu Sheng's eyes, Yan Ruyu's beauty, wisdom and power are what he dreams of.

However, becoming the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart means that he will lose himself, which makes him feel scared.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then his voice trembled: "Is His Highness Yan Ruyu really willing to marry me?"

Bai Yiyi nodded, and her eyes revealed a trace of seriousness: "Of course, His Highness will keep her word. Her appreciation and trust in you are unquestionable."

Gu Sheng was silent, and his heart was struggling between divine power and freedom, beauty and self.

He knew that Yan Ruyu's marriage was a huge temptation for him.

But at the same time, once he became the host of the Demon Emperor's Heart, he would no longer be himself.

After a long time, Gu Sheng finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Bai Yiyi, I need time, I can't make a hasty decision like this."

"Mr. Gu, I understand your concerns, but please remember that His Highness's patience is also limited. If you think clearly, you can come to me at any time."

Bai Yiyi nodded in understanding and said.

Watching Bai Yiyi leave, Gu Sheng began to fall into ideological struggle.

After two days of thinking, although Yan Ruyu is unparalleled in beauty, it is not a good idea to stay here.

When thinking of the freedom outside, Gu Sheng decided to make a great escape.

As night fell, Gu Sheng's heart was as bright as day.

That was the burning desire for freedom in Gu Sheng's heart.

He slipped out of the hut that had bound him lightly, with only one thought in his mind-escape from this peach blossom forest and regain freedom.

Under the moonlight, the peach blossom forest looked particularly enchanting, and each flower exuded an alluring fragrance.

"Huh..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and stepped into this seemingly gentle sea of ​​flowers.

What he didn't know was that he was stepping into a carefully laid trap.

"Chi chi chi!"

As soon as his footsteps landed, the peach blossoms around him seemed to be given life.

Countless branches spread rapidly like spirit snakes, weaving into invisible nets, trapping him firmly in them.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, and he began to try to find a way out.

But no matter how he ran or how he changed direction, he seemed to be wandering in the same place.

He thought the traps set during the day could be removed at night, but he didn't expect it to be even harder to escape.

Gradually, Gu Sheng's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and sweat soaked his clothes.

Unconsciously, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and illuminated the peach blossom forest.

Gu Sheng despaired and found that he had stepped out a circle around him.

All the efforts of the night were in vain.

At this moment, a light laugh broke the tranquility of the early morning.

"Hehe..."

Bai Yiyi's figure appeared in Gu Sheng's sight.

There was a playful smile on her face, as if she had already anticipated Gu Sheng's failure.

"Mr. Gu, why are you doing this? Don't you know that this peach blossom forest is carefully arranged by us?"

There was a hint of ridicule in Bai Yiyi's voice.

Gu Sheng leaned against a peach tree weakly, panting, and his heart was full of frustration.

He knew clearly that he had no way to escape and could only let Bai Yiyi deal with him.

"What kind of magic did you use? Let these peach forests listen to you?"

Gu Sheng asked angrily.

Bai Yiyi did not respond, but waved her hand gently.

Then, several maids came forward and tied Gu Sheng up.

She walked up to Gu Sheng, looked down at him, and said with a tone of command that could not be questioned: "Mr. Gu, you'd better accept the heart of the Demon Emperor obediently, otherwise, such an escape will only be in vain."

Gu Sheng raised his head, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

But he knew that he was powerless to change the situation.

"Hmph! I protest!"

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Alas..."

Bai Yiyi sighed slightly, and then said: "Take good care of Mr. Gu, I will tell His Highness about this."

After that, Gu Sheng was taken back to the hut.

As for Bai Yiyi, she walked out of the peach forest.

After returning to the hut, Gu Sheng's mood was a little depressed.

I don't know what I will face next.

After about a cup of tea, footsteps were heard outside.

"Tie him up and execute him today!"

The voice of an old woman came from outside.

Execution...

When Gu Sheng was wondering, the door of the hut was opened.

Several maids took Gu Sheng out.

As soon as Gu Sheng stepped out of the door, he saw more than a dozen old women standing next to Yan Ruyu and Bai Yiyi.

Through simple spiritual perception, these dozen old women also have certain divine power.

"Take him to the water tomb!"

An old woman with gray hair ordered.

Water tomb?

Gu Sheng instantly understood the meaning, and then angrily cursed.

But before he opened his mouth, a seal flew from the hands of the leading old woman and directly stuck on Gu Sheng's mouth.

At this time, he couldn't say anything.

Soon, Gu Sheng was taken to a cold pond deep in the peach forest.

Gu Sheng looked at everything in front of him and was secretly surprised.

I didn't expect there was such a deep and bottomless cold pond here.

If I had accidentally entered here last night, I would probably have been frozen.

Several old women stood beside the cold pond, chanting some spells.

Suddenly, the water in the cold pond seemed to be given life under the drive of the spell.

Hualala! ! !

The water in the pool was surging and splashing.

Gu Sheng was tied up and could only watch this scene with his eyes wide open, his heart full of shock and curiosity.

At this moment, the surface of the cold pool suddenly calmed down.

Then, a dazzling light shot out from the bottom of the pool, illuminating the entire peach forest.

As the light gradually increased, a huge crystal coffin slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.

Its appearance made everyone present feel an unprecedented strong breath.

Yan Ruyu knelt down immediately when she saw the coffin, her face full of piety and awe.

Others followed suit, only Gu Sheng stood still.

When he vaguely saw what was inside the coffin, he knew that it should be the legendary Demon Emperor's Heart!

Then, the crystal coffin slowly rose to the surface of the water.

Its light intertwined with the cold air of the cold pool, forming a strange scene.

Although Gu Sheng's voice was sealed, his heart was surging.

He could feel the power contained in the coffin, a power that could shake the world.

The old women stopped chanting, and the entire peach forest fell into silence.

Only Gu Sheng's heartbeat sounded particularly clear in the silence.

He knew that what he was about to face might change his life.

Yan Ruyu slowly stood up, stretched out his arms to the left and right, and then put his hands together.

After the others stood up, they also imitated his movements.

"Yan Ruyu! Yan Ruyu!"

Gu Sheng urged his divine power and wanted to use his divine sense to transmit the sound.

But Yan Ruyu pretended not to hear it, and instead offered a jade plate.

The jade plate floated up from Yan Ruyu's hand, emitting bursts of dazzling light.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to use his divine sense to transmit the sound again, the dozen old women rushed forward and surrounded Gu Sheng in the middle.

Gu Sheng's heartbeat accelerated, and the oppressive feeling emanating from the old women around him made him a little uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw their eyes, there was a power that should not be underestimated.

Then, Gu Sheng planned to withdraw his consciousness and prepare to face whatever might happen next.

One of the old women suddenly spoke with a hint of surprise and admiration in her voice: "Young man, your consciousness is really powerful. Even in this situation, you can still maintain such clear consciousness transmission."

"Huh?"

Gu Sheng was stunned.

He didn't expect that he could get praise from the old woman in such a tense atmosphere.

On the other side, Yan Ruyu didn't seem to be disturbed by Gu Sheng's telepathic transmission.

She was concentrating on controlling the jasper plate suspended in the air.

The light of the jasper plate became brighter and brighter, as if absorbing the spiritual energy around it, preparing for some important ceremony.

The old women surrounded Gu Sheng in the middle, and different lights began to flash in everyone's hands, obviously preparing some powerful spells.

Gu Sheng felt unprecedented pressure, but he couldn't get out of it at all, and seemed very helpless.

"Ding!"

At this moment, the jasper plate suddenly made a crisp sound.

Then a beam of light shot out from the plate, pointing directly at the crystal coffin.

The coffin began to slowly open under the irradiation of the beam.

An ancient and powerful breath escaped from it, making everyone present feel a deep awe.

Although Gu Sheng was bound, his spiritual consciousness was extremely sharp.

He could feel the power contained in that breath, which was far beyond his comprehension.

He knew that the awakening of the Demon Emperor's heart would bring unpredictable changes.

The old women's spells were ready, and their eyes were focused on the crystal coffin.

"Your Highness, please step back first, we are going to cast a spell."

An old woman said softly.

As the old woman's words fell, more than a dozen old women formed seals with their hands at the same time, chanting something.

In an instant, the ancient spell echoed in the air, as if awakening the long-dormant power.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Countless rays of light shot out from their fingertips, converging into a dazzling beam of light, hitting Gu Sheng's body.

At that moment, Gu Sheng felt a warm and powerful force penetrate his restraints.

The countless rays of light were like flowing water, forming a vortex of light around his body.

"Ah..."

Gu Sheng couldn't help but scream.

At the same time, his body began to tremble slightly.

But this was not because of fear, but because the power was so huge that his body could hardly bear it.

In the beam, Gu Sheng's skin began to reveal a faint golden luster, and every pore seemed to be breathing this mysterious power.

As the spell deepened, strange phenomena appeared around Gu Sheng's body.

His skin was cracked, as if it was about to crack, and rays of light radiated from his body to the outside.

But as the spell continued, the cracked skin closed again and was as good as before.

The eyes of the old women were full of awe and admiration, especially the old woman who mastered the highest spell, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She looked at Gu Sheng and exclaimed: "Your Highness, the power contained in his body is really incredible. This is not only a strong internal manifestation of divine power, but also a sign of the purity of the holy body." (End of this chapter)
