Chapter 355: Hidden

Li Huowang turned around and saw there were indeed some words written on the wall covered by the ivy vines. As he looked at the wall, he used his bronze coin sword like a whip and cleared off the vines.

Why me? And when will it end? Such a bizarre fate.

I dont want to kill! I want to look people straight in the eyes!

They couldnt see me the moment they turned around. I hate that!

These things seem to have been written by the Muddled One. But it doesnt seem to have been written by just one person, spoke Tuoba Danqing as he looked carefully.

Danqing, stop looking. Also, give me some of your Gu poison. I need to use it with some of my lifespan pills. Ji Xiang took out some lifespan pills and ate them. At the same time, Li Huowang saw the white hair on Ji Xiangs head reduce significantly.

Lord Ji Xiang, youve already used so many lifespan pills. Any more and it would be dangerous. said Tuoba Danqing.

Sigh~ Do you think I dont know that? For now, lets finish the mission or I wont even have the chance to live long enough to become a Human Xiao, replied Ji Xiang.

Li Huowang ignored their bickering as he surveyed his environment while enduring the pain from the wounds he had inflicted on himself.

Now that the situation was under control, he wanted it to end as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Hehe.

Hearing the sudden laughter, Li Huowang raised his head. At that moment, he was eye to eye with a woman with a dirty face!

Her hair was long and her face looked pretty even though it was caked in filth. As she appeared in front of him, she looked into his eyes excitedly.

Shes the Muddled One!

Li Huowang suddenly realized who it was didnt hesitate in the slightest as he stabbed the womans abdomen!

The Muddled One coughed up blood and fell onto the ground. She looked at Li Huowang with shock as she muttered to herself, You are fine? Nothings happening to you?

However, Li Huowang was too excited and shocked to care about such details. He quickly approached her and raised a metal spoon, ready to gouge out her eyes that were capable of making people disappear.

Er Jiu! Dont gouge out her eyes! Even if you kill her you must not gouge out her eyes.

Hearing this, Li Huowang dropped the spoon and immediately snapped all of her joints. By the time he was done with her, she could do nothing but move her eyes.

Even though Li Huowang wasnt sure what was happening, since the Muddled One appeared in front of him just like that, there was no way he was going to let her go.

My wife died. I threw her to the edge of the wall. Why are there so many corpses there?

As he read this, Li Huowang was puzzled and moved the pile of straw near the corner of the wall, only to reveal numerous corpses underneath the pile of straw.

Why are there so many corpses? And all of them are women. Even Shen Tugang was put off by what he saw.

Faced with this new discovery, everyone stopped.

There are more texts on the wall, said Tuoba Danqing as he read the texts aloud.

These These are all the Muddled Ones wives. There are more of them, but most of them were hidden away by him.

Wait, the Muddled One is a woman, so how could she have wives?

Lets go, who cares if she had a wife or a husband, said Ji Xiang, itching to go. Only when the Muddled One was delivered back to the capital would he be able to calm down. He couldnt be bothered with figuring out whether the Muddled One was a guy or a girl.

But at that moment, Li Huowang, whose awareness was heightened, suddenly had a thought that caused his heart to drop. Wait, what if theres more than one Muddled One?

As soon as he said that, everyone felt the atmosphere suddenly become heavier.

Fuck! Why should we be afraid? Do you think Im afraid of them? If it werent for the fact that they are very hard to find, I would've fought three of them at once! Shen Tugangs bellows snapped all of them back to reality.

Thats right! Even if we cant fight anymore, we still have junior Er Jiu. The Muddled Ones power is useless against him! Tuoba Danqing chuckled and patted Li Huowangs shoulder.

Soon, they made their way out of the village. However, even as they passed through the entrance, the other Muddled One still didnt make an appearance.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang took notice of Hong Da and realized that the man had been very quiet after he reappeared. Whats wrong, Hong Da? Youve barely escaped death so why arent you smiling?

If it werent for the fact that the Muddled One wanted to use him as a meat shield, Hong Da mightve really been hidden away until the end of time.

Hong Das lips were white as he tried to smile, but couldnt.

There were so many people So many of them His voice was hoarse.

What do you mean a lot of people? asked Li Huowang.

Hong Da stared at the Muddled One on Li Huowangs back and said, A Muddled Ones karmic obstacle affect themselves even more than it affects the others. When I was hidden away by the Muddled One, I saw many of her enemies, but also a lot of her friends and family. They all told me that the Muddled One had hidden them away when they were facing danger. She hid all of them within her karmic obstacle.[1] The Muddled One wanted to let them all out once it was safe, but she forgot. She forgot everything. At first the Muddled One could still control her powers, but the older she got, the more she lost control of it. She hid her memories, her age, and even her gender. You could say that the Muddled One could become someone entirely different in just the next hour!

1. It seems that Muddled Ones can hide people within a pocket dimension of their karmic obstacle.
