Chapter 812: Washing the Brush and Cleansing the Heart (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Shu Wanjuan was struck by "Words are Firm and Certain" and was slashed several times by Li Qi for nothing.

He was very surprised by Li Qi's ability. Last time, his contract was snatched away silently, and Shu Wanjuan gritted his teeth in secret, vowing that next time he met Li Qi, he would never let him escape.

But this time, being repeatedly sneak-attacked by Li Qi, Shu Wanjuan still failed to notice.

Li Qi was also surprised by the Blood Tooth Monster's ability. She had been seriously injured by Murong Gui, with only a "shattered" character left on her neck, yet she could still recover, and after recovering, she could still discover Li Li Banfeng.

As for the reason, he would think about it later. Li Li Banfeng's figure disappeared, and Shu Wanjuan immediately prepared the Heavenly Harmony technique.

Murong Gui tore off the brush tip of his brush, and every single brush hair flew toward the Blood Tooth Monster.

The Blood Tooth Monster hurriedly dodged, muttering: "Why don't you scholars know how to cherish the fair sex? There's such a good Master Grandfather there, why don't you hit him, why do you only hit me—"

Bang!

The Blood Tooth Monster shuddered, and a hole exploded in her chest.

"You're using 'Flowers in the Mist' on me too?" The Blood Tooth Monster looked at Li Qi with a face full of resentment.

Li Li Banfeng comforted the Blood Tooth Monster: "Shu Wanjuan has the Heavenly Harmony technique, it doesn't hurt when used on him, so I can only use it on you.

I'm not intentionally targeting you."

Bang!

Before the words fell, the Blood Tooth Monster exploded again, and her heart, liver, intestines, and stomach flowed all over the ground.

The Blood Tooth Monster cried: "Second Great King, they are bullying me like this, and you don't even care. When Old Dan gets the contract, we'll keep the territory for ourselves and won't share it with you!"

Shu Wanjuan was stunned.

How could this woman say anything?

Li Li Banfeng looked at Murong Gui; Murong Gui's expression was indifferent, but sweat was streaming down.

He could perceive that his contract was in danger, but he didn't dare to reveal it. Shu Wanjuan and the Blood Tooth Monster were both formidable enemies; at this time, he absolutely could not be distracted.

Li Li Banfeng suddenly appeared and used "Five Horses Dividing the Corpse" on the Blood Tooth Monster: "Is what you just said true?"

The Blood Tooth Monster, from her right shoulder to her right leg, had been dismantled by Li Li Banfeng, and she said feebly: "Fake, everything I just said was nonsense,

you absolutely must not take it seriously.

Dan Chengjun didn't go to get the contract; he doesn't know the contract is hidden in the Willow Garden, and he doesn't know there is actually no Earth God there, only a brush with spirituality guarding it—"

Shu Wanjuan really wanted to lend a hand and just kill the Blood Tooth Monster.

Li Li Banfeng couldn't judge the Blood Tooth Monster's intention for a moment and prepared to send her into the Personal Residence to interrogate her properly.

A sense of danger suddenly struck. Whether it was an illusion or something else, Li Li Banfeng seemed to see the Blood Tooth Monster smile at him.

Her body was shattered like this, and she could still smile?

Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?

He couldn't take her into the Personal Residence, otherwise something big would happen. The safest way was to kill her directly.

Li Li Banfeng stepped on the "Wan Chuan" and trampled the Blood Tooth Monster into meat paste.

Shu Wanjuan watched the whole process without any intention of saving the Blood Tooth Monster.

Li Li Banfeng threw the sickle at Shu Wanjuan.

This move really had no significance; the sickle's combat power among magic treasures wasn't outstanding, so how could it hurt Shu Wanjuan?

Shu Wanjuan directly ignored the sickle and prepared to counterattack Li Li Banfeng.

Murong Gui held the Judge's Pen and waved it at Shu Wanjuan: "Flash!"

Shu Wanjuan's feet left the ground, dodging the sickle.

This leaving the ground was bad; it was equivalent to accepting Murong Gui's help.

Murong Gui shouted: "Return my capital!"

Shu Wanjuan's eyes became lax, feeling somewhat lazy.

Li Li Banfeng rushed to close range and wanted to use "Five Horses Dividing the Household," but discovered Shu Wanjuan had turned into ink, scattering on the ground.

The ink flowed lazily on the ground. Shu Wanjuan shook off the Lazy Cultivator technique and continued to watch quietly from the side.

Today's Shu Wanjuan was very different from the past; the serious injuries he had previously suffered seemed to have healed.

He didn't strike easily; he was buying time for Dan Chengjun.

Li Qi approached rapidly. Shu Wanjuan's body was covered in characters. No matter what technique Li Qi used, his tactics remained the same: defend first, then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

As long as the Heavenly Harmony technique was still there, Shu Wanjuan could ensure his life was worry-free. As for whether the counterattack would succeed, that depended on luck.

Li Li Banfeng's figure suddenly disappeared. Shu Wanjuan stood still.

He judged that Li Qi was about to use "Flowers in the Mist."

Li Qi's "Flowers in the Mist" was indeed different. One strike, two hits, the interval long or short, one had to be carefully prepared and could not relax.

After waiting for a moment, Shu Wanjuan didn't explode.

He mobilized the characters to perceive carefully; Li Qi didn't seem to be nearby.

Did he leave?

Where did he go?

Could he have gone to the Willow Garden?

Dan Chengjun was looking for the contract in the Willow Garden of the Ink Fragrance Shop. If Li Qi went there, it would ruin Dan Chengjun's business.

The Blood Tooth Monster shouted: "Why don't you chase him quickly?"

Why wasn't this woman dead yet?

Wasn't she trampled into meat paste by Li Qi?

Shu Wanjuan was furious; it was all the Blood Tooth Monster's fault for ruining things.

With no time to argue with her, Shu Wanjuan was about to chase Li Qi when he suddenly saw someone appear before him, flashing past with a scent of rouge.

Bang!

Shu Wanjuan exploded.

This was "Flowers in the Mist."

Li Qi came back?

No, the quality of this "Flowers in the Mist" was different. Although it only exploded once, Shu Wanjuan's character substitute was blown into a mass of foam, and not even a complete ink mark could be seen.

Whose technique was so fierce?

Was he hit by the Old Train just now?

Shu Wanjuan was still pondering when that person appeared before him again. This time, Shu Wanjuan saw the other person's face clearly.

This was a woman, her figure vigorous, her cheeks thin, her features exquisite and distinct, her hair bun high on top of her head,

looking somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Shu Wanjuan couldn't think about it either; the person opposite stepped on the "Wan Chuan" and trampled over.

Rumble!

Shu Wanjuan's body shattered, and he stood up relying on the Heavenly Harmony technique.

Rumble!

The person opposite stepped out again. Shu Wanjuan barely blocked it. After getting up, he was covered in blood; the opponent's strike was too fast, and the Heavenly Harmony technique didn't convert in time.

Rumble!

The person opposite stepped out again. Shu Wanjuan threw out two books, pushing the Heavenly Harmony technique to the limit, and blocked it with difficulty.

Shu Wanjuan stumbled and knelt to stand up, not expecting the remaining power of the "Wan Chuan" to still be there. He didn't stand steady and fell to the ground again.

Not only did he not stand steady, but the Blood Tooth Monster also fell to the ground.

Murong Gui, far away on the pavilion, was also affected and almost fell off the pavilion.

Could "Wan Chuan" be used like this?

The Blood Tooth Monster exclaimed: "What kind of monster is this!"

"Monster?" The woman turned to look at the Blood Tooth Monster.

The Blood Tooth Monster trembled all over: "Girl, I didn't say anything; I said Shu Wanjuan was a monster. Look at how much that old thing looks like a monster; I was really talking about him—"

Though she yielded with her mouth, the Blood Tooth Monster didn't move her feet; she knew the person in front of her was a top-tier traveling cultivator, and running away wouldn't be easy.

Shu Wanjuan also saw the clues. "Wan Chuan" consumed physical strength extremely heavily; ordinary people would need to rest for a long time after using it once.

And now this woman had used it three times in a row. In Shu Wanjuan's impression, there was only one person who could use "Wan Chuan" like this.

Xiang Xiang Hongying!

How many years had she been dead? When did she come back to life?

Why did she come to Group Hero Mountain?

Xiang Xiang Hongying flashed to the Blood Tooth Monster's side. The Blood Tooth Monster still wanted to argue, but Xiang Xiang Hongying used "Breaking the Path" to open the way and tore the Blood Tooth Monster into two halves.

Xiang Xiang Hongying succeeded in one strike, but it gave Shu Wanjuan a chance to counterattack. The ink that had been scattered on the ground rose into the air and rushed toward Xiang Xiang Hongying from all directions.

Continuously using the Heavenly Harmony technique consumed Shu Wanjuan a lot too. These scattered ink fragments could be considered a bit of compensation Shu Wanjuan accumulated for himself.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was the chief of traveling cultivators. Shu Wanjuan considered that she would use "Carefree and Unfettered," so he didn't gather the ink into one place.

Some ink was fast, some slow, some moved in a straight line, some circled around. Attacking in such a chaotic way, let's see how Xiang Xiang Hongying dodges.

Xiang Xiang Hongying perceived the danger and planned to use "Smooth Sailing" to deal with it, but the ink was too dense, and "Smooth Sailing" would inevitably have omissions. As long as any ink landed on her, she could suffer heavy injuries.

Using steps and "Carefree and Unfettered" wasn't stable. Using "Breaking the Path" to separate all the ink seemed to be the best choice.

If she really used "Breaking the Path," it would be equivalent to letting Shu Wanjuan see through her path of movement, and Shu Wanjuan would have very vicious methods waiting for Xiang Xiang Hongying next.

Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't think too much and was about to use "Breaking the Path" when she suddenly heard a low moan. The ink flying in mid-air vibrated violently, and in the blink of an eye, it all lost control.

Someone had helped Xiang Xiang Hongying resolve the ink formation.

The low moan continued. Shu Wanjuan felt a sharp pain in his heart and remembered a famous general who made people tremble at the sound of her name back then.

"General Zhao, you are here too!" Shu Wanjuan looked around; the characters on the ground kept shifting with his line of sight.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't appear, but her voice echoed in Shu Wanjuan's ears: "Old Senior Shu, long time no see, hope you've been well."

Xiang Xiang Hongying lifted the long spear in her hand and pointed at Shu Wanjuan: "Old thief, do you intend for me to take your life, or will you surrender?"

Shu Wanjuan smiled: "General Hong, these words are somewhat arrogant. Back then, we fought repeatedly, and the two of you racked your brains trying to kill me, but you never took this old man's life. Let's talk about the Battle of Gray Grass Valley—"

*Chirp chirp chirp*—!

"Don't mention old matters," Zhao Zhao Xiaowan interrupted Shu Wanjuan. "Xue Yingying, chat a few more sentences with Old Senior Shu;

they have already set up their military formation."

Shu Wanjuan was indeed secretly setting up a magic formation and had already set up thirty percent.

Xiang Xiang Hongying lifted her long spear and charged toward Shu Wanjuan. Shu Wanjuan shouted angrily: "Bullying the few with the many, winning is not honorable!"

Shu Wanjuan used "Same Text, Common Rules."

Li Li Banfeng's previous speculation was correct. After recuperating on Blood Yashan for so long, Shu Wanjuan's injuries had healed. In a one-on-one battle with Xiang Xiang Hongying, he indeed had the certainty of winning.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't rush to resolve "Same Text, Common Rules." Shu Wanjuan's strength was right there; forcibly resolving his technique would require paying a not-so-small price.

"Xue Yingying, you just fight him one-on-one; we won't bully him."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan knew what she was doing. They would fight under the rules first; as long as they ensured they didn't suffer a big loss, they would soon wait for an opportunity. "Same Text, Common Rules" had a time limit. Shu Wanjuan was dealing with Xiang Xiang Hongying while having to maintain the technique; he definitely couldn't hold on for too long.

Shu Wanjuan threw out two books. The book pages scattered in mid-air, flipping and flying around Xiang Xiang Hongying.

Xiang Xiang Hongying used "Breaking the Path" to separate the book pages to both sides and continued to charge toward Shu Wanjuan.

Shu Wanjuan was waiting for this move. Characters detached from the book pages and, following the path of "Breaking the Path," lined up densely on both sides.

Xiang Xiang Hongying increased the intensity of "Breaking the Path" to keep these characters from approaching, but after charging for a while, Xiang Xiang Hongying felt her legs somewhat weak.

The consumption of the technique was somewhat large, which was extremely rare for Xiang Xiang Hongying, but her face was full of sweat, proving her physical strength was indeed running low.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan saw clearly in the dark: thirty percent of the characters surrounding them were the character "Seize," fifty percent were the character "Take," and twenty percent were the character "Borrow."

Shu Wanjuan had grasped Xiang Xiang Hongying's weakness. Xiang Xiang Hongying thought little; she only treated characters as blades and never cared about the content of the characters,

and these characters were seizing power within Xiang Xiang Hongying's technique.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was also someone who didn't know how to retreat; her legs were weak, yet she still charged forward.

Shu Wanjuan was confident. He calculated that Xiang Xiang Hongying would exhaust her physical strength before reaching close range. By then, he would kill Xiang Xiang Hongying and then focus on dealing with Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and Murong Gui.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shouted loudly: "Stand still and don't move!"

Whoosh! A gust of wind blew, and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan sucked all the characters attacking Xiang Xiang Hongying into the horn.

In this way, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's position was exposed.

Shu Wanjuan shouted toward the courtyard: "You are bullying the few with the many!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, who was hiding in the courtyard, appeared directly: "Old Senior Shu, Xiang Xiang Hongying fighting you counts as one-on-one, and me fighting you also counts as one-on-one. When I strike, Xiang Xiang Hongying stands still; how can that count as bullying the few with the many?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying indeed stood still. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan told her not to move, so she didn't move; military orders could not be disobeyed.

Shu Wanjuan sneered: "General Zhao, you have traversed the battlefield and rarely tasted defeat, yet now you use such despicable means; aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan also smiled: "Senior, you overpraise me; that little reputation of mine was all exchanged for by these despicable means."

Shu Wanjuan nodded: "General Zhao, fighting one-on-one is fine too; General Hong shouldn't intervene again, right?"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan shook her head: "That's hard to say. Xue Yingying, rest well; when I'm tired, you go up again.

Pen, don't be idle either; gather your strength and send your Grandmaster a big gift!"

"This is not appropriate—" Shu Wanjuan still wanted to use "Same Text, Common Rules" to set new rules, but Zhao Zhao Xiaowan played the "Xipi Liushui" and sang first.

"Banners fluttering block the sunlight, suspicious birds do not land in the forest; this mountain shape is dangerous like a tiger's den, that stream is deep like a dragon's pool,

bright blades and spears shine in the grass, thieves are lying in ambush on the mountain ridge!"

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's singing was mournful and full of killing intent, yet it covered Shu Wanjuan's voice.

Between the changes in tone, the soldiers lying in ambush on the hillside and in the forest lost control one after another, lining up in military formation and charging toward Zhao Zhao Xiaowan.

These soldiers were all characters arranged by Shu Wanjuan, with blades, axes, bows, arrows, spears, and chariots.

Shu Wanjuan had been wrestling with Zhao Zhao Xiaowan just now. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan wanted to use opera lyrics to make these soldiers collapse directly, while Shu Wanjuan controlled these soldiers to wait for an opportunity.

As a result, neither of them achieved their goal. The soldiers didn't collapse, but they didn't strike at the right time either. Fortunately, they could distinguish between friend and foe and knew how to fight Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to the death. For Shu Wanjuan, this result was still acceptable.

Facing the siege of troops, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was unhurried, first using "Hundred Flavors Baiwei Linglong" to smell the scent.

These soldiers emitted a strong smell of ink, proving these characters were newly written.

In the Thirteen New Lands, Shu Wanjuan had arranged a large number of books; those characters had been settled for many years and could be used for battle as soon as they were taken out.

Upon arriving at Group Hero Mountain, Shu Wanjuan didn't have time to make such sufficient preparations. The books were all kept on his body for self-preservation, and these soldiers were the ink he had left on mountain rocks and tree bark not long ago.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan spat out the big horn, played the "Xipi Xipi Erliu" beat, and continued to sing: "You have set up a net of heaven and earth, I am determined to break through! Look at me, horses trampling the camp, rolling over the flat ridge, the snake spear picking at the setting sun!

Thieves, die! Wah-ya-ya-ya!"

The singing spread in all directions with the steam. Under the shroud of thick fog, every word and every sentence made people tremble with fear.

Shu Wanjuan carefully guarded against every line of Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's opera lyrics. In several battles back then, Shu Wanjuan had suffered too many losses.

Not only did he have to guard against the changes in singing, but he also had to guard against the content of the lyrics. Shu Wanjuan was a storyteller by trade and often listened to operas; why had he never heard this opera before?

What was she going to sing next? Could it be that this opera was written by herself?

She really guessed it right; this opera was indeed written by Zhao Zhao Xiaowan herself. Shu Wanjuan feared this the most, fearing that Zhao Zhao Xiaowan would suddenly sing some tricks and catch him off guard.

After waiting for a moment, Shu Wanjuan felt the situation wasn't right. Although this opera was sung in a soul-shaking way, it didn't seem to have much lethality.

Then why was she singing?

Shu Wanjuan discovered that the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, to the point where he couldn't see Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's location, nor could he see the soldiers charging to surround her.

He took out a folding fan and threw it into mid-air.

The folding fan flew back and forth, dispersing some of the fog. Seeing the troops charging toward Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, Shu Wanjuan's expression was solemn.

The chariots were moving slowly in the fog because the wheels had deformed.

The archers pulled their bowstrings, and the arrows on the strings were dripping water.

The shield soldiers were still walking forward holding their shields, but below their knees, they had turned into ink, dragging two long marks on the ground.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's method wasn't in the opera lyrics; the opera lyrics were just used to intimidate Shu Wanjuan.

The real method was in the steam. The newly written characters were slowly turning into ink under the steaming of the steam.

These soldiers couldn't be relied upon. Shu Wanjuan had to strike personally. He used characters to protect his body and stepped forward to take Zhao Zhao Xiaowan directly.

He knew clearly in his heart that when fighting Zhao Zhao Xiaowan, he couldn't just defend, otherwise he would be toyed with by Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to death.

But this strike missed. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan used the fog to hide elsewhere.

Shu Wanjuan released characters to search for Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's location everywhere. After circling for a moment, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan perceived the loosening of the technique.

Under the dual interference of the singing and the steam, Shu Wanjuan's "Same Text, Common Rules" technique was about to be unable to maintain itself.

At this moment, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was beside Xiang Xiang Hongying, holding Xiang Xiang Hongying's wrist and making some sketches on her palm.

She was drawing military secret codes. Xiang Xiang Hongying quickly understood Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's intention.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan opened "Insightful Dongxi Lingyin" and judged Shu Wanjuan's state from his breathing. Determining the timing was appropriate, Xiang Xiang Hongying carried Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and charged toward Shu Wanjuan together.

Shu Wanjuan perceived someone approaching and immediately used the Heavenly Harmony technique to defend.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's singing changed, shifting over a dozen keys. Every shift was a fierce attack, and Shu Wanjuan had to use the Heavenly Harmony technique to block.

After blocking, Shu Wanjuan wasn't easy to recover. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was very close to him, and the steam kept scalding him, not giving Shu Wanjuan a chance to adjust the technique.

At the same time, Xiang Xiang Hongying struck repeatedly, specifically hitting the conversion gaps of the Heavenly Harmony technique.

Shu Wanjuan was hit by one "Wan Chuan" and one "Breaking the Path."

He wanted to distance himself from Xiang Xiang Hongying, but failed to guard against Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and was scalded half-cooked by the steam.

While resisting the steam, his will relaxed slightly, and Zhao Zhao Xiaowan roared, the sound wave cracking Shu Wanjuan's skull.

Shu Wanjuan was in a trance and was stabbed over a dozen times by Xiang Xiang Hongying.

"Cannot, bully the few with the many—" The injured Shu Wanjuan felt he had no strength even when speaking, let alone maintaining "Same Text, Common Rules."

He still had a life-saving book in his hand and originally wanted to take it out now, but Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't give him the chance.

Her singing changed faster and faster, and following the singing, Xiang Xiang Hongying's strikes also became faster and faster.

Shu Wanjuan took out the book several times, but couldn't flip to the page he wanted to find.

After finally flipping to it once, he didn't have the chance to display the technique, and the book was knocked to the ground by Xiang Xiang Hongying.

This was the most difficult part of Zhao Zhao Xiaowan to deal with. Once she occupied the upper hand, the offensive wouldn't stop, and the opponent would have no chance to fight back.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan wrote on Xiang Xiang Hongying's back, signaling her to use "Wan Chuan" to directly end Shu Wanjuan.

This couldn't blame her for being anxious. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan discovered that the Blood Tooth Monster was a very special opponent. If she and Shu Wanjuan attacked from both sides,

what the trend of the battle would be was really hard to judge.

She continuously increased the intensity of the sound cultivation technique, forcing Shu Wanjuan to switch the Heavenly Harmony technique.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was waiting for the opportunity. As long as Shu Wanjuan switched the Heavenly Harmony technique, "Wan Chuan" would arrive immediately.

Shu Wanjuan, who had almost fallen into a desperate situation, threw a brush washer from his sleeve.

The brush washer was filled with black water stained with ink, which happened to splash onto Xiang Xiang Hongying's body.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was furious: "So disgusting!"

Shu Wanjuan's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Xiang Xiang Hongying stepped forward, but didn't use "Wan Chuan," instead throwing Zhao Zhao Xiaowan out.

After throwing Zhao Zhao Xiaowan away, Xiang Xiang Hongying herself retreated rapidly and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Shu Wanjuan sat on the ground panting for a long time and smiled.

Literary cultivation technique, "Washing the Brush and Cleansing the Heart."

Although the consumption was extremely large, the effect of the technique was astonishing.

The water in the brush washer was used to wash brushes. Water that had washed brushes could wash away the opponent's mind in an instant.

Xiang Xiang Hongying wanted to use "Wan Chuan" to kill Shu Wanjuan, but under Shu Wanjuan's interference, she used "Farewell Ten Thousand Miles," sending both Zhao Zhao Xiaowan and herself away.

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan had no defense at all because she had never seen this technique.

Not only had she not seen it, but no one in this world had seen it, including Dan Chengjun.

This was the formidable aspect of the Star Cultivator. Because this was a technique created by Shu Wanjuan himself, this technique was created by Shu Wanjuan during his recuperation on Blood Yashan, tested only on the character people he created, and never used on living people.

The "Washing the Brush and Cleansing the Heart" technique was not yet perfect. Shu Wanjuan could not perform "Washing the Brush and Cleansing the Heart" alone; he had to cooperate with the brush washer in his sleeve.

If the water in the brush washer had splashed on Zhao Zhao Xiaowan just now, the probability of the technique succeeding would be extremely low, because Zhao Zhao Xiaowan was too smart; the difficulty of washing away her mind was too great.

But Xiang Xiang Hongying's situation was different; changing her mind was much easier.

Shu Wanjuan rejoiced that he hadn't miscalculated a single step, hadn't done a single thing wrong, but there was still a thorny enemy waiting to be dealt with.

Murong Gui was still in the courtyard.

Shu Wanjuan picked up the life-saving book from the ground, stroked the illustration on the book, and a man and a woman walked out of the book.

The man was Ai Ai Yeqing, and the woman was Mu Yuejuan.

Both of them had numb expressions and empty eyes; they had already become Shu Wanjuan's tools.

The exhausted Shu Wanjuan drove Ai Ai Yeqing and Mu Yuejuan toward the Wise Scholar's courtyard, seeing Murong Gui gritting his teeth, still standing on the pavilion.

Murong Gui's soul had just returned to his body; his cultivation might still be there, but how much combat power could he have? Not to mention fighting Shu Wanjuan, could he even handle Ai Ai Yeqing and Mu Yuejuan in front of him?

Shu Wanjuan felt he couldn't: "Child, I'll ask you one more time, will you come with me?"

After waiting for a long time, Murong Gui didn't respond on the pavilion.

Ai Ai Yeqing grabbed a handful of copper coins and hit Murong Gui. The copper coins passed through Murong Gui's body, and surprisingly, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

Was this Murong Gui?

Mu Yuejuan turned her face and said expressionlessly: "This is a painting."

Shu Wanjuan was stunned for a long time.

He was a master of both calligraphy and painting, yet he hadn't been able to see that this was a painting.

When was this painted?

Murong Gui had been standing on the pavilion the whole time, and he hadn't seen him pick up a brush.

Mu Yuejuan took this painting over. Shu Wanjuan inspected it for a moment and slapped the "painting" onto Mu Yuejuan's face: "This is called a photograph; haven't you seen one?"

This was a photograph taken by the Projector for Murong Gui. The Murong Gui in the photograph was lifelike, could blink, and could open his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Shu Wanjuan was somewhat suspicious. Mu Yuejuan couldn't even distinguish a photograph? Had her mind degenerated to this step?

Now wasn't the time to investigate this matter. Where exactly had Murong Gui gone?

The two halves of the Blood Tooth Monster's corpse lay on the ground. Shu Wanjuan asked: "Can you stand up?"

The two halves of the corpse joined together, and the Blood Tooth Monster stood up: "Are you planning to find Murong Gui, or are you planning to go help Dan Chengjun?"

"Do you know where Murong Gui went?"

The Blood Tooth Monster said: "When that guy escaped, I saw his footsteps weren't too steady; he shouldn't have run far and must still be on Group Hero Mountain."

Shu Wanjuan nodded: "I'll take people to chase him right now."

The Blood Tooth Monster asked one more question: "Second Great King, are you capturing the Wise Scholar to negotiate business with Lan Qiao Yi, or to get yourself a good puppet?"

This wasn't Blood Yashan, so Shu Wanjuan naturally didn't have any scruples in his speech: "I am a very upright person in my work, and I don't have so much selfishness."

The Blood Tooth Monster said: "I trust you. Since you have no selfishness, let's not look for Murong Gui; let's go find Dan Chengjun instead."

Shu Wanjuan didn't respond; he asked a question in return: "What is your cultivation exactly? Why do I feel you are somewhat familiar?"

The Blood Tooth Monster smiled: "My cultivation is definitely not low; otherwise, would I dare to be Dan Chengjun's wife?"
