Chapter 99: 99

Chapter 99 – Meet The Same End

“The Seven Kill Sect’s trump cards are those people, I suppose.” Gu Suihan smiled sinisterly when he thought about the 200 odd other disciples who remained as bystanders during the fight earlier.

Meanwhile, Disciplinarian Zhang’s expression was grim as he looked silently in the direction in which Mo Yuluo had carried Gu Suihan off. He realized that he had underestimated Gu Suihan after all. This young man was much more formidable than he had expected.

“So what? I’m sure you won’t be able to escape their attacks forever.” A malicious smile appeared on his sullen face.

“Am I really in love?” Mo Yuluo had a conflicted look on her pretty face after she observed the surge of emotions in her heart.

This uncontrollable wave of emotions did sound like various scenarios that Yun Lianyi described to her as part of falling in love.

For some reason, whenever Gu Suihan’s handsome face appeared in her mind, her usually fair cheeks would start to redden, like the way young ladies in love would blush bashfully. Her shy expression would become alluring and make one’s heart skip a beat.

“Argh! Gu Suihan, what in the world did you do?” Mo Yuluo felt an uncontrollable increase in her heart rate, and her eyes were glazed over, but she was angry on the inside.

She was angry inside because she could tell that none of this was normal behavior. Falling in love was something that slowly and quietly crept into one’s heart. Worrying about another person or thinking about them all the time was normal, but she now felt weak and was unable to control her own body, as though she had been poisoned.

This time, however, it was really not Gu Suihan’s fault at all. He had been so badly injured that he nearly fainted. Also, he had noticed how Disciplinarian Zhang had refused to fight, so he had been afraid that Disciplinarian Zhang might do something to sabotage the fight. He didn’t have the time to give her an aphrodisiac, for crying out loud.

Meanwhile, Mo Yuluo’s situation was only getting worse. Her entire body was covered in sweat as she lay weakly in the room next to Gu Suihan’s. Her clear eyes were clouded over, and she craved physical intimacy as her fair skin began to turn pinkish.

As she tried her best to cling to whatever was left of her rationality, she trembled as she retrieved a bottle from her storage ring. It took all her strength to finally pull the lid off, and she poured all the pills inside into her mouth desperately, ignoring the drop of saliva that slowly made its way from her lips, down her neck, and into her cleavage.

Some of the pills landed on the floor, and they began to give off a sour smell. But Mo Yuluo didn’t care and forced the domineering mara energy within her body to circulate, purging all the pink Qi spread through her body. A sinister and hateful glare suddenly shot out from her eyes, causing the intricately carved wooden table in front of her to crumble instantly as though it had been left to rot for decades.

“Who did this?” Mo Yuluo slowed down the energy circulating within her body and opened her mouth to exhale the last of the sweet pink Qi in her body.

She had no idea who could have managed to do such a despicable thing to her without her noticing anything.

“It’s not Gu Suihan. He has no reason to do that.” After she calmed down, she immediately eliminated the possibility that he would have done something like that. He was someone who only cared about cultivating and was unable to develop any emotions for others. She couldn’t think of any reason why Gu Suihan would have chosen such a time to drug her or if doing this would benefit him in any way.

Fang Suyu and Wang Aolin crossed her mind as well, but she quickly eliminated them too. Doing something like this would only ruin the Seven Kill Sect’s plans.

“No, wait!” Mo Yuluo suddenly paled as she pulled her perspiration-soaked clothes off her body and looked down at the blooming black rose on her lower abdomen.

“Didn’t you say you were going to choose someone else?” she uttered softly but hatefully through clenched teeth as her fingertips gently touched the quietly blooming rose. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Mo Yuluo remembered very clearly that this flower marking on her body had looked like a bud all this time. Yet, it was blooming so beautifully right now.

Many years ago, when Yun Lianyi took her in as a disciple, Yun Lianyi left this mark on her, saying that it was for her safety. This mark was supposed to carry a portion of her master’s energy.

This trump card had saved Mo Yuluo from danger countless times. She trusted Yun Lianyi wholeheartedly and treated her master like her family. Yet, the master who seemed to care so dearly for her turned out to be just like Xiexin zhenren. Yun Lianyi had tried to turn her into a vessel for her partial soul.

Mo Yuluo laughed hollowly at herself as a despairing look covered her beautiful face. Her storage ring flickered, and two translucent reddish fruit the size of walnuts appeared in her palm.

“These joined hearts fruits. Falling in love. Gu Suihan.” Mo Yuluo’s laughter was filled with despair.

This was also part of Yun Lianyi’s plan. Yun Lianyi had told Mo Yuluo that these fruits could help her to avoid having to spend too much time and energy on love relationships because as long as she and the man she loved ate one fruit each, they would be bound together for life. They would become inseparable, and if one died, the other would too.

If Mo Yuluo’s guess was right, Yun Lianyi had hoped to control her body when she was distracted and make her swallow one of the fruits. She would then make Mo Yuluo enter Gu Suihan’s room, use her body to distract Gu Suihan, and make him eat the other fruit.

That way, not only would Yun Lianyi be able to control a ticking timebomb like Gu Suihan, but she could also wipe out Mo Yuluo’s consciousness and take over her body fully once Mo Yuluo’s will was broken by what she had done against her own will.

Yun Lianyi had taken the risk to take over Mo Yuluo’s body now instead of waiting until they were inside the secret realm firstly because this was a good chance, and secondly because Mo Yuluo’s rank of aptitude was the same as Yun Lianyi’s. They both possessed Eight Water Spiritual Roots, and it was impossible for anybody to tell that Mo Yuluo wasn’t Mo Yuluo anymore.

Mo Yuluo sank into despair. There was no hope for her now. She was only at Mid Foundation Establishment. There was no way she could stop Yun Lianyi’s partial soul from taking over her body.

“Li Rong must be feeling the same sort of despair,” murmured Mo Yuluo. She gave up trying to run away from her inevitable fate and just lay on the floor with a bitter smile on her face.

Time flew by quickly, even as the martial cultivators and the Seven Kill Sect disciples continued to be on guard against each other.

After Gu Suihan’s injuries had healed up, he did not leave his room at all. He lay on his bed with his eyes shut as though he were dead. But his consciousness was working very hard. Countless inspirations and thoughts were analyzed and enacted inside his head. His focused mind was able to quickly patch the missing later parts of the Geng Gold Sword Mantra.

At the same time, this cultivation technique was moving through his Spiritual Meridians like it was second nature to him. Wisps of Qi were refined and added to his dantian, slowly filling it up.

The faint shield around the flying ship enabled the cultivators who were only at Foundation Establishment to walk on the deck without fear of getting blown away. They could look at the endless clouds around them as well as the fiendish Qi that seemed almost solid.

One day, as everything onboard was peaceful, the stable flying ship suddenly shook violently. A wave of slightly terrified greetings filled the air.

“Greetings, Great Elder.”

“Greetings, Sect Leader.”

When the Great Elder of Fenglin heard the weak and tired greetings of the martial cultivators, he immediately scanned each one of them, and his expression instantly darkened. He could see that the martial cultivators who used to walk around confidently and arrogantly, with their heads high and their chests puffed out, now averted their gaze whenever they spotted a disciple from the Seven Kill Sect. They even had a bitter and helpless look on their faces from time to time.

“What happened?” The Great Elder caught hold of a young man near to him to ask.

“It’s…it’s those Seven Kill Sect disciples…they’re all awful bullies…” The young man felt like he finally found someone who could save them from this situation. He sniffled, and his eyes were actually teary as he glared at Seven Kill Sect disciples walking around complacently. He gritted his teeth and said, “You weren’t around, so they bullied us just because they’ve got more people than we do.”

“You Hantian, did you put them up to this?” The Great Elder’s eyes glinted frostily as a red dragon made from flames appeared behind him, its eyes staring straight at the amused You Hantian as it emanated a domineering aura.

“Oh no, I didn’t do anything like that. In fact, it’s like that those little bastards on your side tried to attack first,” said You Hantian with a shrug as he chuckled. He sounded so smug.

The Great Elder immediately shouted back, “That’s bullshit!”
