Chapter 89: What a coincidence
“Brother, you…”
Jiang Huai stood far away, glancing at Lin Ji, who was ridden by Hong Shao. After her death, Lin Ji’s body trembled, and he quickly withered away. Jiang Huai had killed many evil cultivators and knew a little about them.
Lin Ji must have been controlled by Hong Shao’s gu, so he had to obey her. Now that the gu’s master was dead, he couldn’t survive either. Jiang Huai wanted to save him but it was too late. Lin Ji was dead the moment Hong Shao died.
He sighed deeply, watching the main gu insect crawl out of Hong Shao’s neck. Considering Hong Shao could play like this with late-stage Nascent Soul techniques, this gu must be a good item in the evil cultivator circles.
The methods of evil cultivators are particularly strange, and Jiang Huai had no intention of studying this gu. Previously, many cultivators in the Eastern Region killed evil cultivators and obtained their gu. Out of curiosity, they were overwhelmed by greed and became new evil cultivators. Jiang Huai took out a Fire Dragon Talisman, infused it with a weak spiritual energy, and in an instant, flames engulfed the entire cave.
He walked out of the cave, Bai Li sensed the heat behind her and looked at him puzzled.
“That woman was Lin Ji’s master, an evil cultivator who cultivated with gu. She just killed those fat and thin monks and wanted to kill me, but I killed her. After she died, Lin Ji also died,” Jiang Huai summarized briefly, and Bai Li nodded.
She trusted Jiang Huai completely. Now the two waited outside the cave, letting the fire consume everything. After a stick of incense had burned, the fire brought by the Fire Dragon Talisman finally extinguished. Jiang Huai and Bai Li re-entered the cave, which was now only ashes. They found the storage rings in the ashes.
Generally, high-level storage rings can only be opened by their owners, but lower-level storage rings can be pried open by Jiang Huai. He took out a Lock Opening Talisman he carried, stuck it on the four storage rings, and in an instant, all the treasures burst out.
Jiang Huai briefly counted them. There were more than twenty thousand spirit stones and some low-level spiritual treasures that he didn’t need, so he didn’t take them. Selling them would be too much trouble if someone recognized them as belonging to their friends or relatives, and they weren’t worth much anyway.
Besides, the two of them also got a total of seven golden scale fruits.
