Chapter 522 Hong Baizhu

“Dead?”

The young but experienced Wen Hun was totally shocked and goggled at it. Perhaps the respect of stone lions gave him great courage. Finally, he asked what he always wanted to know, “You ghosts will also die?”

“Ghosts are not included in the Five Elements and won’t be reincarnated, though, they will die. Just like us, weak ghosts, if we are not protected by strong backers, we will be swallowed by more powerful ghosts soon after we have consciousness.”

Wen Hun was surprised, and he continued to ask, “What kind of ghosts can be considered as backers?”

“They must be red-clothed seniors!”

“But you just said that the red-clothed seniors were all dead.”

“It should be a ghost who was stronger than the red-clothed seniors. And even those seniors can only be reduced to its food…”

As saying, the stone lion glanced at Su Li secretly. Since Su Li had no reaction, he sighed with relief.

If it could sweat, it would be bathed in perspiration at this moment.

Hearing this, Wen Hun felt anxious and frightened.

The ghost more powerful than ferocious ghosts in red… Was it the Immortal of Ghost enshrined by the Master?

Master left the Sect this time because of the Immortal of Ghost. However, it wreaked havoc in the Sect now. What did this mean?

Could the Master come back after one month?

Wen Hun was shocked, and his face changed. Su Li looked at him and felt a little helpless.

What was this silly boy thinking about?

“Fine, just leave along the third floor of book pavilion. The top priority now is to figure out the relationship between the book pavilion and the deep mountain. What’s more, there is still an indigestible ferocious ghost in red.”

Today, Su Li had nothing to do and followed Wen Hun to guard the hall. Wen Hun nagged her not to leave the yard at night.

After finishing dinner at dusk, Wen Hun left. When it was getting dark, Su Li closed the gate of the yard and returned to the adytum.

Plop!

After the shadow trembled for a while, a wet girl in red was thrown out. The girl in red, who lay on the ground, struggled for a while and then sat up. The bloody tears streamed from black eyes without pupils down her pale face, neck and body… and formed a pool of blood on the ground soon.

Su Li came face to face with her. Gradually, the atmosphere became gloomy and terrible against the candlelight.

“Don’t dirty my adytum.”

All of sudden, Su Li said softly and broke the silence.

The girl in red was stunned for a moment, and then her bloody tears flowed more quickly. However, she strove to suck it back when the bloody tears flowed to the feet. The blood on the ground gradually reduced and disappeared.

“Good girl.”

Su Li smiled sweetly. With soft eyes, she held her lovely face with two hands. The girl in red trembled more severely.

“What’s your name?”

The girl opened her small blood-red mouth and replied cautiously. Her voice seemed to come from countless men and women, which was sharp and garbled.

The gruesome voice was supposed to make people scared. But the girl begged for mercy in the voice.

“I…I am…Hong Baizhu… Don’t eat me…”

With a faint smile, Su Li moved her hands and said in a casual tone, “It depends on whether you will obey me. Your companions are so ugly that I can’t help destroying them. But you are different from them. Although there’s something wrong with your eyes, you have a pretty face.”

The girl blushed. She touched her own face bashfully and stammered, “Re…really? Those…those are not my companions. They always compete with me for food…”

Su Li squinted her eyes slightly, and asked in a gentle tone, “How many people have you eaten?”

The dark eyes of the girl were full of ignorance, “People… What’s that?”

Su Li chuckled and pointed to the outside, “They are living creature that move around outside, and they read books in the book pavilion during the day.”

The girl understood and shook her head while touching her empty stomach. A hint of curiosity appeared in her pitch-black eyes, “I…I didn’t eat people before. Are they delicious?”

“You didn’t eat them?”

With cold eyes, Su Li thought that this girl was lying.

The girl was panicky, and explained anxiously, “I…really didn’t eat that. I…just woke up. They…always cheat me, and I have been cheated…for many times…”

Su Li looked at the girl in red thoughtfully, as if thinking about the authenticity of her words.

The girl was terribly frightened, and continued to stammer, “I…I am different from them. They ate too much…to become like me, while I was like this by nature… I have slept for a long time. When I woke up, I was unable to defeat…”

She seldom spoke, so she was incoherent. But Su Li still understood that.

“Are you nobler than them?”

Su Li twitched her lips slightly, and touched the silky hair of the girl. The girl tried to cover her head with fear, but failed.

“You have slept for a long time, so you don’t know the origin of Immortal Cultivation Sect. I didn’t expect the last one that was the most difficult to digest was actually the most useless.”

Upon hearing this, the girl shed more bloody tears, which spilled out of her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

She thought, “I’m so scared.

I don’t want to be eaten, and I feel bad when sleeping…”

The strong feeling of fear stimulated the girl’s black eyes to arise a glimmer of white light. Then she seemed to be enlightened, and had a flashback to the things happened before she fell asleep.

Although it was only an instant, the girl remembered a lot.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, and then became happy.

“I got it. I got it!”

Since she remembered it, she should not sleep anymore.

The girl’s thoughts were too simple. Before Su Li continued to ask questions, she couldn’t wait to stretch out her fleshy and bloodless cold hand to point between Su Li’s eyebrows, and shared her poor memory with Su Li.

In an instant, the clear scene flashed through Su Li’s awareness sea.

In the dark sky, the familiar mountain of Immortal Cultivation Sect came into view. But its disciples were far more than now, roughly tens of thousands. The mountains were densely packed with pavilions, even including the deep mountain.

“How many years ago is this scene?”

Su Li wondered. She quickened the image in her mind. Soon she saw a figure resembling Hong Baizhu standing in the air. There were the Human Clan of the Immortal Cultivation Sect trembling below.

The woman was slender and beautiful. Two drops of typical bloody tears dotted under her eyelids, like two rubies, which made her look even more charming.

“Is she the former Hong Baizhu?”

Su Li was astonished. In front of Hong Baizhu, there were two ghosts like two mountains of flesh. The pale flesh of them seemed to be heaped up in disorder like rocks. Ugliness was not enough to describe their looks.

“Hahaha, Hong Baizhu, as the head of ghosts in this place, you actually can’t control your followers. Today, we will get your yin-gathering site!”

The hoarse and atrocious sound like a boy’s voice came from the mountain of flesh on the left. Su Li couldn’t help but pick her ear. Could it be that the ghost’s vocal cord was chopped up by the nature law? Its voice was very harsh.

Compared with its voice, Hong Baizhu’s voice was just like the sound of nature.

In the scene, Hong Baizhu snorted with an evil face. The familiar mature voice sounded, “Even if there is only me being left, I will not be bullied and affronted by you rubbish! Get out of here!”

After saying it, she stretched out her hand and seemed to grab something. Then a blood-colored red umbrella appeared in her hand. The umbrella crown flew away, and two streaks of tremendous red cold light shot out.

The two mountains of flesh gave a strange laugh at the same time and raised a flesh and blood shield which kept screaming. The two streaks of cold light directly shot into the flesh and blood, and then the shield screamed louder.

When Hong Baizhu saw this shield, she narrowed her eyes, “The Ferocious Ghost Shield is actually in your hands. Aren’t you afraid of being blamed by the Ghost Emperor?!”

“Hahaha, Ghost Emperor? He even can’t protect himself now. As long as I eat you, I will be the master here!”

The two mountains of flesh laughed wildly, and suddenly squirmed to merge together. The tremendous shield stretched countless times in an instant, and encompassed the entire Immortal Cultivation Sect, “I can’t wait to eat the body of the descendant of the Ghost Emperor. Hahaha…”

Hong Baizhu looked calm and serious. Although she was in a desperate plight, she was not flustered and had a determined look. The crystal of two bloody tears under her eyelids dropped, which caused the bloody tears that had been stopped streaming to pour down immediately.

“Even if I fall into endless sleep and can’t wake up, I will never let you succeed!!”

Then, the scene turned into white light, and then dimmed.

The eyes of Hong Baizhu with an appearance of a little girl were bright. She thought, “I was very powerful before. But… now I will be eaten.”

Thinking about it, she shed more bloody tears, and then sucked back all the blood on the ground in a flurry.

Although she was still Hong Baizhu, she already had new consciousness. Although fragmented memories flashed back in her mind occasionally, they couldn’t replace her current consciousness.

“Black Lotus, when did the scene take place?”

Su Li transmitted her thought into the Black Lotus Ring.

“Tut, tut, in the era when ghosts prevailed, there were even a Ghost Emperor. Judging from the style of dressing of the Human Clan, it is supposed to be All Spirits Age, which had a longer history than that of Kuiyu Palace. It seems that sometimes rumors may be believable. The Immortal Cultivation Sect has been established for at least tens of thousands of years, or even longer. After all, the All Spirits Age is of great antiquity. No one knows how many years that Age lasted.”

Looking at Hong Baizhu who was still shedding bloody tears, Su Li felt it was a little weird.

In other words, she almost ate an old monster living in the All Spirits Age?

“Fortunately, Hong Baizhu seems to be the descendant of that Ghost Emperor, and it is difficult for me to digest it. Otherwise, it will be a big loss.”

While thinking about that, Su Li pointed to the direction of the deep mountain outside the house suddenly, “Try to sense it. Compared with you in your heyday, how is the most powerful existence there?”

Being asked by Su Li suddenly, the muddleheaded Hong Baizhu stopped crying immediately, and began to sense the same kind of her instinctively. Her bloodline was unusual, so she perceived something quickly.

“It’s very strange, and very weak. I don’t know it. I am weaker than that thing now… And I…can’t beat it.”

Su Li nodded lightly. Then, relying on the memory of Hong Baizhu, she finally had a little thought.

“You have slept for many years and have lost memory. Now, your territory is occupied by an unknown little ghost.”

Light flickered in Su Li’s eyes. She gently touched Hong Baizhu’s silky hair, “I found a treasure inexplicably. Does my identity as the daughter of luck come into play? …”
