Chapter 144 An Unexpected Visitor

In the dark space.

The girl, covered in wounds and tattered clothes, sat on the ground, leaning against a pillar.

In front of her was an open broken wooden window. With the bright moonlight outside the window, she tried to absorb the mysterious power of the moon to repair her broken body.

"Puff!"

Suddenly, the girl spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it! It was so difficult to get a chance to live again! God, I will not admit defeat!"

The extremely weak girl's eyes were full of unwillingness, and she was Yu Liyan who escaped by teleportation.

At this moment, the reincarnated demon king was unprecedentedly fragile, so fragile that an ordinary person could capture her.

Xiahou Ling and Wen Qiu did hurt the girl, but they did not seriously injure her.

Yu Liyan's injury was the price she paid. In order to exchange for the innate power she had in her previous life as a demon king and to exert the power of the Dharma, she burned all her skills.

At this moment, both the profound skills and soul power have returned to their initial state. She is already a "wasteful person". Unless she spends more than ten years to practice hard again, it will be difficult to return to the peak.

And there is another very bad news for Yu Liyan. She just escaped a disaster, not survived it.

So the special attention of the heaven to her continues.

In the near future, the girl will encounter Xia Houling and his party again. This is the inevitability of fate.

Unless she dies before this, the disaster will come again.

However, it is very likely that Yu Liyan will die early, because she is already a dead person in a sense.

In order to use the power of her previous life, she not only burned all her skills, but also shattered her soul and temporarily reorganized it into a demon soul.

So now her human soul is like a vase that was broken and glued again, which will break at the touch.

Yu Liyan has less than a month left, about 27 days. If she can't find a way to repair her soul, she will die.

Even if she finds a way to repair her soul, she still has to face Xia Houling and others.

Speaking of which, Yu Liyan did have the opportunity to pass the tribulation before, but if she used the innate power to kill Xiahou Ling and the others, she would not be able to leave the battlefield.

A Xuanliu warrior, or an ordinary person with a second-grade weapon could easily kill her.

Even if Gu Xia came as a guard, as long as there was another warrior in the Zang realm, both of them would be finished.

So Yu Liyan finally chose to teleport and escape, and she could delay for a few days.

"As long as we can enter that tomb, there is still hope..."

Yu Liyan closed her eyes again.

Her soul power was completely wasted, and her soul was broken, and she could not repair it for the time being.

She could only rely on Xuan Gong to heal her body, at least to restore some mobility.

...

Time went by in a blink of an eye and it was three days later.

What happened a few days ago is now known to the whole city.

People everywhere in the inn, teahouse, and roadside were discussing the battle to subdue the demon three days ago and the cruelty and viciousness of the demon woman.

At noon, several people were eating in a restaurant.

"Do you know? There is a witch causing chaos in the city, causing countless casualties! Even the captain of the city defense army was killed!

Luckily, several disciples of Jiuming Sect arrived in time and defeated the witch."

"I heard about it a long time ago! I also know that the witch escaped!"

"Please, what you are talking about is all old news! Who doesn't know? There is a wanted poster with a bounty next to us."

"Are you interested in this bounty?"

"Don't want to live anymore! Captain Hong, as a master of entering the internal organs, couldn't survive a few moves at the hands of the witch.

We, the enlightened warriors, are planning to take advantage of her. ? You want to take the money of a dead person! "

"Is it not possible to think about it? Besides, the witch was seriously injured by the disciples of Jiuming Sect! Now we may not be able to capture her..."

"Then go ahead, I will burn more for you next Qingming Festival."

"Ah! How can you talk like that?"

"You two should be quiet. I thought you could find the witch if you went there."

"That's right. It's been three days and nothing has been found. Maybe the witch has already escaped from the city."

"..."

There was a table in the corner next to the few people. Gu Xia sat alone, listening to the conversation and picking up food.

He glanced at the wanted poster on the wall.

"A reward of 2,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver and 20 black crystals! Ha! It's really generous. I want to turn myself in."

There are also portraits of two people on it, one man and one woman.

The woman is naturally Yu Liyan.

The man was someone Gu Xia had never seen before, but judging from the words "evil servant Gu Mou" marked below, it should be Gu Xia.

I don't know how the painter who drew the wanted poster drew it. Yu Liyan's portrait is very lifelike, but Gu Xia's portrait doesn't look like him at all.

Thanks to this wanted poster, and Yu Liyan's fox fire that blew up the inn where he stayed before into ruins.

Now that almost all the people who knew about Gu Xia and Yu Liyan's relationship are dead, he can walk around the city in the past few days.

However, Gu Xia still modified his face, his skin became darker, and he also wore a fake beard.

"I don't know what the vixen is like? It would be great if she died of serious injuries."

Gu Xia was looking forward to it in his heart. He didn't want to get too close to the vixen and make himself look dirty.

What if Xia Houling found out that he had a relationship with Yu Liyan, how should he explain it?

Even if he said that he was controlled by the evil spirit, he couldn't escape suspicion.

Moreover, the mysterious power in his body has been locked by the master-servant contract these days and cannot be mobilized.

As soon as he moves closer to the city gate, the mysterious energy that makes up the beast-control talisman will explode, and it seems that there is a possibility of being detonated at any time.

There is no doubt that Yu Liyan is remotely warning Gu Xia not to abandon her.

But Gu Xia couldn't find the girl now, so she could only wander around the city every day.

In his heart, he was always darkly cursing Yu Liyan to die early.

Just when Gu Xia stood up and wanted to pay the bill, a sudden change occurred, and the beast-control talisman in his body began to riot again.

"What's going on?"

Gu Xia tried a few times, but no matter which direction he went, the beast-controlling talisman kept rioting, and gradually the profound energy in his meridians became disordered.

"What is this vixen doing? She's not going to die. She wants to use me as a backstop!"

He was so panicked that he couldn't help but close his eyes and wanted Xingchen to see if there was any way to temporarily stabilize the beast-control talisman.

But as soon as Gu Xia stopped, the beast-controlling talisman stopped rioting.

"Um?"

Gu Xia sat back down, and the beast control talisman continued to remain calm.

"The vixen wants me to stay still here? But why is that?"

He was suspicious.

After a long wait and a stick of incense.

A young man hurriedly walked in outside the restaurant. After entering, he glanced left and right, seemingly unintentionally, looking for someone.

He looked at Gu Xia several times before sitting down.

Asked in a low voice: "Are you the ancient guard?"

Gu Xia looked at the young man with a serious face and said nothing.

The young man said tentatively: "It was Miss Yu who asked me to come to you. She also said that after seeing me, you can move freely."

Gu Xia still said nothing, but stood up and went to the counter to pay.

But the beast control talisman did not riot again.

After coming back, he sat down and looked at the young man: "Master Dugu, we can talk now."

The young man in front of him was Dugu Shang, the son of Dugu Bo.
