Chapter 81 Don't you find it ridiculous?
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo immediately felt a little nervous.
What if this thing reveals that she's not actually the real person? Wouldn't that immediately make it impossible for her to explain herself, and she'd be considered as being in cahoots with the man in black?
But she came after the original owner died, so it can't be considered that she took over someone else's body!
Seeing that Ma Jian had begun to investigate one by one and had identified the green-clad cultivators, they all breathed a sigh of relief and stood on the other side.
The three members of the Shadow Moon Sect no longer stood back to back, but stared at each person being inspected.
Oh no, Ma Jian was already walking towards them with his things. Gao Huohuo's face didn't change, but the hand tightly gripping the whip betrayed her inner tension.
"Ma Jian, you go check on the others first. The three of us will keep an eye on things here to prevent anyone from sneaking away."
As soon as Lou Chongxiao finished speaking, Ma Jian thought it made sense and turned to walk towards the others.
Gao Huohuo subconsciously relaxed a little. Lou Chongxiao and Ye Lingyu's eyes met in the air, and they both shook their heads slightly at the same time.
But as the number of people being checked decreased, Gao Huohuo's heart began to race again.
At this moment, she desperately hoped that the man in black robes could be found out, or that he could break out on his own.
Gao Huohuo was still lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice that Cheng Peng, who had been silent all along, suddenly walked quietly toward her.
"Die, White Rose!"
Upon seeing a spirit sword piercing her chest, Gao Huohuo quickly realized what was happening and asked Xiao Lingzi to create an illusion of her being severely injured. She then dramatically collapsed to the ground.
Then Cheng Peng was also killed by Ye Lingyu with a sword to the throat. Seeing that the soul was about to escape, Gao Huohuo whipped it and wrapped it up.
After quickly finishing these tasks, Gao Huohuo clutched her chest and lay on the ground with a pained expression.
"Little junior sister!"
"White Rose!"
Surrounded by a group of people, Gao Huohuo had already had pills stuffed into his mouth several times.
This made her a little out of control, wondering when she should make her injury look better.
"Bai Qiang, you can't die! My senior brother Cheng Peng was possessed by a spirit, which is why he tried to kill you."
Ye Lingyu snorted and said, "If he had no intention of killing Junior Sister, how could he have been controlled so quickly?"
Killing him with a single sword strike was too lenient on him.
"If my junior sister is alright, then everything is fine. But if anything happens to her, none of you from the Wind and Thunder Sect will escape."
Lou Chongxiao also stared coldly and angrily at the people from the Fenglei Sect, excluding Ma Jian as well.
Only Ma Ruiyu had a slight doubt after examining Cheng Peng's body: when was the wound on his chest inflicted? It looked like he had just been stabbed.
If Ma Ruiyu were to examine Cheng Peng's spirit sword more closely, he would discover that the shape of the wound on his chest was exactly the same as that on his own spirit sword.
Fortunately, Gao Huohuo was in good physical condition and recovered quickly, although her face was still a little pale.
"Bai Qiang, let's take everything we can out of here, and burn the rest!"
I have a junior brother from the Lingyi Sect waiting for me outside; I'm worried he'll worry.
Gao Huohuo nodded weakly, and after a thorough inspection, the group found nothing useful and left.
The group from the Wind and Thunder Sect carried Cheng Peng's body at the very back. They had once been popular disciples of a major sect, but in the blink of an eye, they had become universally despised.
Only Ma Jian remained carefree, staying close to Gao Huohuo and showering her with concern.
He was afraid that Gao Huohuo would ignore him because of Cheng Peng's matter, but fortunately Gao Huohuo did not blame him.
When they came in, someone led the way, and they went in together. Now that they're coming out, there are forks in the road everywhere in the cave, and they have no idea which way to go.
Gao Huohuo used his supernatural powers to find the historical route she had secretly recorded when she came in, and thus led everyone out.
When they finally emerged from the cave, they found that the fog had dissipated and they were greeted by the long-awaited sunlight.
Everyone felt like they had been reborn; they almost became one of those hanging on the wall in that cave.
Unfortunately, the mist monster has disappeared; we must find him.
Otherwise, with him around, he will continue to hurt people, and once infected by him, even more Mist Monsters will likely appear.
After resting for a while, the group split into groups to search for the Mist Monster.
Ma Ruiyu led a group of people away first, including Gao Huohuo and his two companions, Ma Jian and Li Kaide, and the remaining cultivators and the remaining disciples of the Fenglei Sect.
Gao Huohuo originally wanted Li Kaide to stay, after all, he was just a mortal and his power came from the mist.
Now that the fog has dissipated, and he himself has been suppressed by the suppression talisman, he is no different from an ordinary person.
But Li Kaide was adamant and insisted on going with them to find the Mist Monster.
Ye Lingyu and Lou Chongxiao glanced at him with some surprise, after all, Li Kaide's presence had been very low-key throughout the journey.
They were somewhat surprised that he rarely expressed his thoughts so strongly.
However, Gao Huohuo didn't say anything, so they didn't pay any attention to it.
The four of them set off in one direction, and along the way, Li Kaide reverted to his usual taciturn self.
Unfortunately, after visiting many places, I still couldn't find any trace of the Mist Monster.
Gao Huohuo said somewhat angrily, "Where did that mist monster go? We can't find it anywhere."
Li Kaide casually suggested, "Why don't we go take a look over there?"
Gao Huohuo seemed oblivious to his unusual behavior and followed him in that direction, leaving only Ma Jian feeling somewhat puzzled.
I wanted to ask Gao Huohuo, but unfortunately Gao Huohuo walked very fast, and Lou Chongxiao and Ye Lingyu followed suit.
Ma Jian could only follow behind them with a puzzled look on his face.
Before long, Gao Huohuo, led by Li Kaide, arrived at a cliff after many twists and turns.
"Bai Qiang, you're so stupid. Did you really think you could catch me so easily?"
Li Kaide's voice clearly contained two people, one of whom was the man in black robes.
"Oh, you think you've hidden it perfectly?"
Gao Huohuo took out the long whip and shook it twice; the soul inside had already disappeared.
"Do you think I don't know about your little tricks?"
Why don't you try again and see if you can get out of Li Kaide's body?
Upon hearing Gao Huohuo's words, the man in black robes immediately tried it and indeed found himself trapped inside Li Kaide's body.
"Didn't you want to save this mortal's life? Now that I'm trapped inside him, how are you going to save him?"
I see you people spouting platitudes about benevolence and morality, but you're all just selfish and self-serving.
Hearing the shameless words of the man in black, Gao Huohuo laughed in anger.
"We should be more careful around someone like you."
"And you come out of your mouth talking about benevolence and morality? Don't you find it ridiculous?"
