Chapter 135 My Immortal Life is Missing (9)
Gu Shijiu glanced at it and then turned her head away, focusing on giving the shadowy figure a massage with her spiked club.
Ye Ling was struggling to cope, so she had to take out the talisman given to her by Qingyun Sword Master to escape, feeling somewhat resentful.
Saving her was a simple matter, but expending a Nascent Soul cultivator's sword energy was a huge loss.
The shadowy figure asked incredulously, "You're not going to save your fellow disciples?"
Gu Shijiu silently thought to herself: It has nothing to do with you.
However, she was too lazy to talk to these demons and monsters.
Seeing her silence, the shadowy figure thought it had touched a nerve and continued to chatter.
"Oh, what a righteous and awe-inspiring cultivator! He doesn't even care about the lives of his fellow disciples. He is truly admirable."
"Poor fellow, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it wasn't easy for him to cultivate for so many years..."
Ye Ling took out the talisman and discovered that she couldn't activate it at all.
Upon seeing this, the shadowy figure laughed heartily: "So that's what happened, you have something to rely on."
"What, didn't the person who gave it to you tell you that your talismans can't be used in certain restricted areas?"
Gu Shijiu found it very noisy and became increasingly vicious.
The shadowy figure was starting to falter, so it turned its attention to Ye Ling.
At his signal, the pressure on Ye Ling suddenly increased, her body covered in bloodstains and her clothes torn into strips.
She then panicked: "Sister, save me—"
Gu Shijiu had already scattered the shadowy figure when she heard this and turned to look.
A group of demons were seen holding Ye Ling hostage and preparing to leave.
Gu Shijiu was about to step forward when she suddenly saw several villagers sitting in the corner behind the dark figure, who appeared to still be breathing.
Although she couldn't see their faces clearly, she recognized one of them – it was Shi Qi.
Without hesitation, Gu Shijiu gave up chasing Ye Ling and continued to knock on the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure begged for mercy repeatedly: "Please spare my life, sir! I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."
"I don't like keeping dogs, and I have a horse at home, so what would I need you for?"
Gu Shijiu remained unmoved, which was rather strange.
"Your prototype is quite interesting; can it be both a dog and a horse?"
If this demon hadn't also captured Shi Qi, she really would have liked to see it for herself.
Shadow: Damn it, illiterate.
After several screams, the dark figure breathed its last.
Gu Shijiu smashed the altar to pieces with his spiked club, and the demonic energy in the cave slowly dissipated, while the restrictions at the entrance also disappeared.
These villagers are currently unconscious and cannot be taken out together.
Gu Shijiu carried Shi Qi out of the village and back to the village chief to tell him about it.
"There are no more demons over there, but there are still a few people in the cave. Go get a vehicle and bring them back."
The village chief repeatedly expressed his gratitude, but encountered some problems when preparing to recruit people.
“Master, although the demons have left, no one in the village still dares to go into the cave.”
Gu Shijiu didn't quite understand: "Why are you telling me this?"
Village Chief: Of course we want you to go, don't you understand...?
“Sir, the Ye family has always been of great help to our village, and the village follows the Ye family’s lead.”
Only through the close ties between the two sides can the family prosper as it is today.
Today you rid our village of another great scourge and saved several villagers. We are truly grateful..."
The village chief hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Ignoring the idioms he didn't understand, Gu Shijiu roughly understood: "So, are you going to give me some money to express your gratitude?"
Village Chief: What I mean is, for the sake of the relationship between the two families, will you see this through to the end?
Speechless at Gu Shijiu's words, the village chief could not refuse: "Of course, please wait a moment, I will present the gift later."
"Then hurry up." All she wanted now was to leave as soon as possible to find someone to treat Shi Qi.
When they made physical contact just now, wisps of black energy were drawn away by Gu Shijiu along Shi Qi's body, but she is still unconscious.
Seeing that she was sitting there drinking tea and eating melon seeds, the village chief didn't think she could be persuaded, so he had no choice but to give up.
Meanwhile, inside Lingjian Peak of the Xuanqing Sect.
Suddenly, Qingyun Sword Master felt something in his heart, and his heart pounded.
He got up to go find Yixian Peak, only to realize that from the peak master to the eldest disciple, none of them could help him now.
Sword Master Qingyun had no choice but to calculate with his fingers and figured out that something had happened to Ye Ling, but further calculations only gave him a vague direction.
He was restless, but eventually flew in the direction he had calculated.
In the village, seeing that everyone had been rescued, Gu Shijiu told the Ye family that he needed to return to his sect ahead of schedule and left with Shi Qi.
Shi Qi was just the son of an ordinary villager, and he was even called Big Dog or Second Dog.
When his parents saw that a monk was willing to take him away, they were naturally very grateful and did not object in the slightest.
The village chief indeed gathered some gifts and sent them over, but Gu Shijiu felt a little embarrassed when she saw that they were all rural crops.
She was surprised to find the village's conditions so poor. She didn't refuse the gifts, but instead left them a way to increase their grain production.
If the villagers found such a treasure, they would practically kneel down and kowtow to her.
Gu Shijiu also found Shi Qi here, and both were very satisfied.
Since the holiday wasn't over yet, the other members of the Ye family decided to wait a few more days before returning, so Gu Shijiu took Shi Qi and headed back first.
Upon returning to the Xuanqing Sect, the sect leader nearly had his eyes pop out when he saw that Gu Shijiu had brought back such a large, living person, who was also a villager.
"Master Liyang, who is this?"
"I..." Gu Shijiu almost blurted out, but then felt it was inappropriate and simply shut up.
She ignored the sect leader and handed Shi Qi over to the peak master of Dan Ding Peak: "Do you think this can still be cured?"
The peak master examined it carefully: "The demonic energy has been removed, but the body is still a bit weak. It should be fine in a few days."
Gu Shijiu was finally relieved.
As the group was chatting, Sword Master Qingyun flew in angrily, carrying Ye Ling in his arms.
Ye Ling's current situation looks bad. Her whole body is covered by thick black mist, and her body is riddled with holes, with demonic energy raging everywhere.
The sect leader was somewhat surprised: "What's going on?"
Upon seeing Gu Shijiu, Qingyun Sword Master was furious: "Hurry up and get rid of this demonic energy!"
Although Gu Shijiu wasn't very smart, she could still tell that this person was angry with her, so she sat in her chair and pretended not to hear.
The sect leader was puzzled: "Why are you being so generous?"
It's normal for disciples to encounter demons when they go out to train.
"Ye Yao returned to her hometown with several members of the Ye family, only to have her fellow disciples suffer such a misfortune. What kind of logic is this?"
The Sword Master Qingyun spoke with conviction.
The elder of the Enforcement Hall frowned: "Although Li Yang's cultivation is not as high as yours, he is still a Golden Core cultivator. It is inappropriate to address him by his given name directly."
"Uh..." Qingyun Sword Master choked for a moment.
He listened to Ye Ling talk about Sister Ye Yao all day long, and in his heart he thought she was similar to Ye Ling, without remembering her identity as a Golden Core cultivator.
Gu Shijiu refused to take the blame and immediately retorted: "I said I would go by myself, but Ye Ling insisted on going. She even said she was responsible for her own safety."
She had been captured by demons, and I wanted to save her, but then I saw the villagers trapped there, so I thought I should save the mortals first.
