CH 73.2

No matter, control and detain the man in question first.

He couldn’t use Spiritual Energy, so he couldn’t use offensive devices. Now he decisively throws out a square plate, directly trapping Ren Jia within it.

Ren Jia’s expression greatly changes, “My Lord, what’s the meaning of this?”

Next to him, Ren Yi is stunned, looking dumbfounded.

“Stop this pretense, who are you?” Bai Su says coldly as he gets up.

Ren Jia’s expression slowly gets darker and darker, “It seems that my luck is too bad. You saw through it as soon as I appeared.

“Who am I?

“Hehe, I’m Gu Fengyang!” His manner of speaking has drastically changed, some malevolence seeping through it. Gu Fengyang, who in the past was brilliant and majestic, a name that had spread throughout all the lands under heaven. Now, he can only struggle at death’s door in someone else’s body.

……

He is Gu Fengyang.

A mighty Tribulation Transcendent cultivator, a character in the Wuliang Sect whose words were law. He never thought that he would fall in the hands of a Golden Core cultivator that he himself had raised.

That dog Su Lijiang had been hiding and restraining himself, causing Gu Fengyang to become careless. Who could have imagined that on the wedding night, when he was about to get intimate with Ruan Qingshuang, he not only regained control of his body, but also injured Ruan Qingshuang and escaped from Luminous Moon Sect.

After that, he’d been hiding and running everywhere, escaping the clutches of the cultivators from the Luminous Moon Sect again and again. But he also suffered serious injuries and got into the Devil Path.  Gu Fengyang wanted to seize control for all that time, but he discovered that the indecisive disciple from before has now gained a tenacious willpower. He is ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself, like a completely different person.

Although Su Lijiang couldn’t do anything about him, he couldn’t do anything to Su Lijiang either. Instead, he was threatened by Su Lijiang and had no choice but to help him.

Because he is nothing but a primordial spirit, there is no possibility of taking his body back again. If Su Lijiang gets ruthless to himself and commits suicide, Gu Fengyang would die with him. So he simply has no other option but to be threatened by him. All this can only be turned around if he regains control of the body.

When a strange tree appeared on the ocean, Su Lijiang went to Trial Island.

He said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, so he went straight to the location of the strange tree on the sea. Unexpectedly, after entering, he actually found a big opportunity.

Everyone else was searching on the Immortal Palace, but by chance, at the sea surface, he got into a cavern at the trunk of the gigantic tree, where he began to cultivate.

After that, the strength of his Primordial Spirit could no longer compete with Su Lijiang. Seeing that he was about to be swallowed up by the other party, Gu Fengyang could only give up the physical body and escape with a fluke. But without a tether, his Primordial Spirit quickly weakened, as if he was about to truly disappear into the skies and land, at the moment of despair…

He runs into a person in black, who placed his primordial spirit into a mystical device.

“If you do as I say, I will give you a body with great aptitudes. I will make you the greatest person in this realm, and you will someday follow me and ascend to the upper realm.” That person stated. The implication from that speech is clear, that the person came from the upper realm and has the ability to transcend these lands and skies.

Gu Fengyang didn’t believe the other party’s words at all, but the circumstances forced him to have no other option. The worst thing that could happen is that his soul dies.

After that, not only did his primordial spirit not weaken in the mystical device, but it somewhat recovered instead. It didn’t take long for him to once again enter a body with outstanding talents and high cultivation. He saw with his own eyes how the man in black threw down a binding array, ordered the Luminous Moon Sect cultivators to besiege Ren Jia, and sealed his primordial spirit in a silver doll. He was shocked to his core.

Even the members of the Luminous Moon Sect obeyed the orders of the man in black, addressing him with respect. He reckons they also reached some kind of agreement between them. So, no matter what, he had to work hard for him.

—

The man in black told him to lurk around Bai Su and be on standby. But he was discovered the moment he came here, what should he do now?! Thinking of this, Gu Fengyang feels his heart beat faster.  But he is currently trapped in the formation, and he can’t get out and deliver this information. The situation just gets more hopeless, he struggles to no avail, so he shouts sharply: “If you don’t want your subordinate’s soul to be destroyed, let me out!”

Spiritual energy rushes throughout Bai Su’s entire body.

Ren Yi, who’s been stunned in place  reacts, “M’Lord, you can’t use Spiritual Energy!”

As soon as he says that, there’s a sudden clap of thunder on the clear sky, Bai Su’s figure rushes forward. The next moment, he has extracted a bloody silver puppet from the flesh of the Ren Jia impersonator’s back.

“It turns out that the Bai family traitors have come.” He says with an icy expression, holding the bloody puppet.

“It’s just the Kunlun Divine Tree. How could they bear to refrain from the long-awaited secret realm, and take time to send someone here? Don’t tell me, there are still deeper secrets?”

The long-awaited secret realm appears every three thousand years. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was the Bai family that was in charge of leading. But after the split, those traitors took the lead instead, thanks to the Word Spirit that they stole. Now, his family has lost the qualifications to enter the secret realm.

Bai Su’s injects his divine sense into the bloody puppet in his hand. The next moment, it suddenly happens, the puppet immediately explodes, and there’s a direct backlash to his divine sense. At the critical moment, Bai Su had no choice but to unwillingly operate his Spiritual Energy to resist, and as a result, the heavenly punishment is instantaneous.

“My Lord!”

Ren Yi cries out in alarm and brandishes a mystical weapon to block it, but he’s immediately swept by the strong wind, and he crashes heavily against the big tree closest to him, breaking the tree itself.

The big tree snaps right in the middle, toppling down with a rolling sound, and lodges on the pond. Fortunately, the orchid tongue grass reacts very quickly, its two spread-out leaves slump down to the bottom of the pond, so it did not get crushed by the big tree.

Su Tingyun’s primordial spirit has been hiding in the jade bracelet, and she has received a lot of very shocking information. The silver doll that Bai Su extracted from the back of Gu Fengyang, who was impersonating Ren Jia, has made her understand that she may have misunderstood things.

The person he has trapped is Gu Fengyang.

It’s her turn to grit her teeth in hatred.

Su Tingyun’s primordial spirit returns to her body, then she takes out the dead skin that Big Bai had shed, and places it over her head. She shelters herself and Bai Su inside.

The thunder and lightning heavily strikes down, and Su Tingyun feels her arm go numb, and a weak electric current flows through her body. It doesn’t hurt at all, it’s actually quite nice. She bites her lip, but couldn’t stop a soft grunt.  At this time, she doesn’t notice that some of the power from that lightning is quietly absorbed by the plain ring on her finger.

Bai Su doesn’t move, silently rooted on the spot. In the darkness, his eyes are as bright as stars, but there‘s a heart-thumping chill within them.

The puppet in his hand had turned to ashes, slipping away little by little through his fingers.

Ren Jia’s soul lamp has been extinguished, completely gone.
