CH 353

Li Huowang turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw some faint characters between the cracks in the wall covered with thorns and ivy.

The copper coin sword turned into a long whip and quickly flew a few times, instantly clearing the front wall.

"What am I, and what am I to become? Strange."

"I don't want to kill it! I just want to observe it!"

"I can't see me sideways, I want to go all the way!"

"It looks like it was written by someone with a troubled mind, but this notebook doesn't look like it was written by one person." Tuoba Danqing pondered carefully.

"Oh, Danqing, don't look at it. Give me some of your Gu, I want to take it with Yangshoudan."

Jixiang said as he took out the Yangshoudan from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. The visible white flesh on his head decreased a lot.

"Master Jixiang, you're almost at the limit. It will be troublesome if you take Yangshoudan again."

"Ah, can't our family know? Let's finish this first, otherwise, I won't live to become a person-shapeshifting creature."

Li Huowang was too lazy to listen to Jixiang's chatter, and remained alert to everything around him, enduring the pain.

He had temporarily controlled the situation in front of him, but he hoped it would end quickly. He didn't want any more unexpected situations.

"Hehe." Li Huowang heard a voice and looked up, suddenly facing a dirty woman with long hair and a pretty face who was hanging upside down in front of him. She was excitedly staring at him.

In a moment of instinct, a thought appeared in Li Huowang's mind, "She's Xinzhuo!"

Without hesitation, Li Huowang raised his sword and stabbed her in the abdomen.

Xinzhuo coughed up blood and fell to the ground, looking at Li Huowang with extreme shock. She kept repeating, "Are you okay? You're actually okay?"

Li Huowang, who was emotionally excited, was about to scoop out her eyes, which could make people disappear, with a spoon in his hand.

"Erjiu! Leave her eyes! Don't take them off even if you kill her!"

Li Huowang quickly dislocated all Xinzhuo's joints, leaving only her eyes able to move. Although he didn't understand what was going on, since Xinzhuo came to him, there was no reason to let her go.

He tore off a red ribbon from his own red Dao robe and was about to wrap Xinzhuo's eyes.

However, at this moment, Xinzhuo showed no sign of struggling. Instead, she stared at the large and small characters on the wall with a terrified expression.

"No! I didn't kill them, I don't know! But I didn't kill them!"

After wrapping all her eyes, Li Huowang finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the ground panting heavily.

After a while, Li Huowang and the others looked at each other with strange expressions. This was completely different from what they had guessed.

"Erxian younger brother? How did you manage to avoid being hidden by Xinzhuo? And how did you catch her right in front of you?"Upon hearing Tuoba Danqing's words, Li Huowang lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering, "Maybe it's just good luck."

He speculated that it might be related to his identity as a heart element, but this was something he couldn't tell them.

With this said, Tuoba Danqing furrowed his brows and stopped asking. He thought to himself, "What do you mean by good luck?"

But at that moment, Xin Zhuo shouted again, "No! I didn't kill them, I don't know! But I didn't kill them!"

When Li Huowang turned his head, his pupils shrank to the smallest size.

He saw that the cloth covering Xin Zhuo's eyes had disappeared at some point, and she was staring at the words on the wall again.

"No, dead things can't cover Xin Zhuo's eyes, we need a living thing. Li Sui, come help!"

As two wriggling tentacles emerged from Li Huowang's abdominal wound and wrapped around Xin Zhuo's eyes, she finally quieted down.

Seeing that Xin Zhuo was really caught, Ji Xiang became excited and walked over, grabbing Li Huowang's hands and shaking them continuously, saying gratefully, "Ear Jiu! You've done us a great favor! Just come to our house if you need anything in the future!"

"Ji Xiang is too kind." Li Huowang could tell what the other person meant by their words, and that they owed him a favor.

Although the process was unexpected, since the goal was achieved, everything was okay.

"Let's go, we need to hurry to the capital," Ji Xiang seemed more anxious than anyone else.

Li Huowang nodded and picked up Xin Zhuo, carrying her on his back as they walked outside. Before leaving, Li Huowang couldn't help but glance at the wall.

"When a wife dies, the husband abandons her in the corner. Why are there so many deaths in the corner?"

When he saw this, Li Huowang's expression became surprised. He walked to the corner of the wall and pulled the straw with his hand, revealing terrifying and gruesome corpses in front of him.

"Why are there so many dead people? And they're all women." Even Shentu Gang, who was usually calm, showed a hint of surprise.

This unexpected discovery made everyone stop in their tracks.

"It's written on the wall," Tuoba Danqing looked at the words on the wall and said slowly, "These are all Xin Zhuo's wives, and there are even more that he made disappear."

"It's really strange. Xin Zhuo is clearly a woman, how could she have wives?"

"Let's go, it doesn't matter if she has them or not."

Ji Xiang seemed a bit impatient. As long as they could bring Xin Zhuo back safely, he didn't care if Xin Zhuo was a man or a woman.

But this statement immediately raised Li Huowang's vigilance. His heart suddenly skipped a beat as he looked at the others and said, "Could there be another Xin Zhuo?"

This statement made the atmosphere in the room become somewhat oppressive.

"Damn it, what are you afraid of? Am I afraid of this damn Xin Zhuo? If it weren't for this thing being as hard to find as a mouse playing hide-and-seek, I could take on three of them!" Shentu Gang's words quickly made everyone's faces warm up.

"He's right. If all else fails, we still have Ear Jiu, who is of no use to Xin Zhuo." Tuoba Danqing smiled and patted Li Huowang's shoulder affectionately.The group continued to walk towards the outside of the village, and nothing unexpected happened until they were almost at the edge of the village. This gave Li Huowang time to care about Hong Da, who had been quiet all along.

"What's the matter, Brother Hong? We've escaped death, but there's not even a hint of a smile on your face?"

If it weren't for Hong Da being used as a human shield earlier, he might not have made it back.

Hong Da, with pale lips, seemed to want to crack a smile, but he just couldn't do it.

"So many people, there are so many people in there," he finally said with a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean by so many people?"

Hong Da stared straight at the Xin Zhuo on Li Huowang's back, "Xin Zhuo's inner demons affect not only others but also herself."

"Many people inside are Xin Zhuo's enemies, but there are also many who are her family and friends. They told me that when Xin Zhuo encountered danger before, she hid these people away, hiding them within her own inner demons."

"She originally planned to release them when it was safe, but Xin Zhuo forgot, completely forgot."

"At first, Xin Zhuo could control it, but as time went on, she would uncontrollably hide her own memories, her age, and even her gender."

"It can even be said that Xin Zhuo in one moment and the next are completely different people!"

Tomorrow, three more updates.
