Chapter 596 - 575 First Update
The group’s pace remained slow as it marched toward Bu Er Temple. The slanting western sun cast a golden glow, and there was a warmth in the chill wind as if tender grass was peeking through the snow.
Ju Nanyi followed quietly, feeling unusually calm. Though reason told him the path ahead would be tough, devoid of the advantages he had in his past life, he had at least exchanged it for one truth.
Without Zheng Congyuan, Zheng Nianru had no desire to live, even seated in high status, clothed in silk, and revered by thousands, nothing could deter her pursuit of death.
Ju Nanyi was well aware that Zheng Congyuan could not be touched, at least not for now. At the very least, he now knew better what he needed to do than in his previous life.
As for the Young Master Yin He of Ghoul Ravine, Ju Nanyi didn’t take him seriously; even the way Zheng Nianru looked at him revealed nothing more than a source of amusement—Ju Nanyi had seen plenty like him in his last life.
"They’re here—" Gui San and Gui Si quickly opened the temple gates, with the disciples of Ghoul Ravine standing respectfully behind them, their expressions also quite unnatural.
It was only now that Zong Yunqian had the opportunity to closely observe these disciples of Ghoul Ravine. At a glance, he realized something was off. They seemed to be like lost souls; it was not just one or two, but the majority of the Ghoul Ravine disciples had this appearance.
But Zong Yunqian also immediately sensed that these people were not weak, as if there was a tremendous energy hidden within their bodies. This power not only made them formidable in combat but also seemed to be eroding their spirits step by step.
Zong Yunqian dared not reveal more, his heart becoming even more certain of his speculation.
While the spellcraft was bizarre, it was not completely without a trace. In particular, having seen the strange spells employed by Yin He, he had already begun to have some suspicions.
Ju Nanyi walked into Bu Er Temple without deviating his gaze, leading the people step by step.
Elder Can and Elder Su stayed at the entrance, waiting until everyone was inside. It seemed that everything was "going smoothly," and only then did they relax a little.
