Chapter 505: Chapter 496: Changcang Sect Leader Wu Hua

Lian Lian suddenly became the focus of attention.

Even if it wasn’t what she wanted.

The Child Gu of the Life Gu that Yin Chong placed in her body, at the time, the sensations of the Child Gu would also be felt by the Life Gu.

This way, even if it wasn’t herself drinking that black water, she could still feel the changes caused by the black water to the body.

Simply put, Lian Lian was purely an experimental subject.

Blood surged through the veins, the heart’s beating grew stronger, the five senses suddenly sharpened, and even the fetal heartbeat that had been gradually weakening began to become lively again bit by bit.

Yin Chong’s expression shifted from calm to barely concealed excitement.

The water in that Black Pond was definitely something good!

But to be safe, it wasn’t time to drink it yet.

"Bottle up the water from the pond, as much as you can."

As the group started using empty bottles and any container that could hold water to bottle up the liquid, Chong Shi couldn’t resist and sidled over to ask in a low voice, "Why don’t you just say what this water is for? Are you sure it’s the thing the Sect Leader is looking for?"

"I’m sure."

If it wasn’t this water that could make people stronger and cause his Gu worms to mutate, possibly with other unknown effects, could it be those bloodthirsty monsters they had seen earlier?

Chong Shi rubbed his hands together.

Why not, he thought, and give it a taste?

Though it didn’t look appealing, once you shut your eyes, you could gulp it down.

Just as he was about to act on his impulse, an unexpected change occurred.

First, a sharp screech reverberated, and before the people busy bottling water could react, a figure suddenly dropped from above, landing directly on the back of one person.

Although the weight of the thing was just that of a child, the sudden force from the drop was too much to bear unexpectedly.

Immediately someone fell headlong into the pond.

And then, more shadows descended.

The ground quickly turned chaotic, with bottles filled with water bursting open, spilling their contents all over the floor.

Chong Shi couldn’t help but curse and quickly took action.

Yin Chong looked at the monsters already entwined in a fight with his men, his face darkened as he glanced at the ceiling of the hall.

Above were many irregular stones, untraceable by even a flashlight due to the shadows they cast.

They had searched twice, not noticing anything overhead; key was that there was no way to reach up there.

Now, it was clear these monsters had hidden in the shadows of those stones, possibly arriving even earlier than them.

They had remained dormant without making the slightest sound.

It wasn’t until they started bottling the Black Pond’s water that these monsters came down to attack.

Their purpose seemed to be to prevent them from taking the water from the pond.

This also confirmed his suspicion that the pond’s water was indeed something valuable.

Suppressing his anger, he drew a dagger, "Kill all these creatures."

No matter how fast wounds heal, if you cut off the head and limbs, they must die completely.

Just as the two sides were locked in a full-scale battle in the hall, on the ground.

A woman, draped in a fitted black robe, stood atop the echoing desert’s eye, a noticeable trace of pleasure in her striking and peerless features.

She flicked her nails, manicured in a ghostly blue, sending a small insect flying; before it could touch the ground, it turned to dust.

"It’s time to go down."

After uttering those words in a low voice, she donned a black veil, revealing just a pair of stunning eyes, and gracefully glanced at the quicksand formed before her, lightly leaping.

Disappearing from sight!

*

One hall apart.

In the Dark Hall, the battle raged fiercely; in contrast, the Ming Hall was a scene of peace.

In the darkness, there was no distinction between day and night, but fortunately, they had watches to keep time. After a good rest, everyone had relieved most of the fatigue and exhaustion from the previous days.

After eating, Jiang Lingxi continued reviewing the remaining paper materials restored by Shen Yunqing, Changning was giving special training to Yun Yi, Huzi stood guard, while Xu Zhao led his team in daily training. Everyone had their roles, seemingly relaxed, yet each held a tense string in their hearts.

The real battle hadn’t started yet.

Sitting in meditation with lowered eyes, Wu Jue suddenly opened them wide, "She actually came in person!"

Shen Yunqing paused in motion.

Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow and looked over at the standing Wu Jue, "Who?"

"The one who founded the Changcang Sect, Wu Hua."

Everyone else immediately looked around.

"No one’s here."

"She went directly to the Dark Hall, it seems Yin Chong and the others have almost dealt with those mutated feral people."

Jiang Lingxi, seeing his knowledgeable expression, couldn’t help but wonder: "You haven’t even met, how did you sense she came?"

Wu Jue was about to open the passage between the Ming Hall and the Dark Hall, but paused and turned back, locking eyes with Jiang Lingxi’s piercing gaze.

"Probably because she and I are lifelong adversaries. Isn’t there a saying that your enemy is the one you know best?"

Jiang Lingxi, with a knife in one hand and a crossbow in the other, nodded to Wu Jue, "Makes sense."

Saying this, her gaze shifted from Wu Jue to Shen Yunqing standing beside her.

When Wu Jue suddenly spoke up just now, Shen Yunqing’s instinctive reaction made her speculate: At that moment, Shen Yunqing should have known who Wu Jue was referring to with ’she’.

"Yunqing, do you also know Wu Hua?"

Shen Yunqing also experienced what Wu Jue felt earlier, nodding, "Wu Jue told me about her."

"Let’s go."

The passage was about to open, time was of the essence, so she didn’t have the leisure to ask in detail.

As the passage opened, a strong stench of blood immediately greeted them.

The scene inside the hall was nothing short of tragic.

Even though Yun Yi had just gone through special training with Changning, when faced with the scene before him and the assaulting stench of blood, he couldn’t help but pinch his nose and retch a few times.

This sudden counter-attack by the mutated feral humans, as if desperately guarding something, was even more frenzied than before.

Even the always cautious Yin Chong didn’t gain much this time, scratches tearing his arm and chest, blood seeping out.

Seeing the unscathed Jiang Lingxi and the others suddenly appear before him, he curved his lips, "Long time no see!"

But there was not a hint of joy in his tone at the long-awaited reunion, only deep-seated murderous intent.

Jiang Lingxi, surveying the mutated feral humans and the dozen or so corpses of Changcang Sect members on the ground, merely frowned slightly.

She had trekked through corpses and seas of blood countless times; though this scene was indeed tragic, it didn’t affect her much.

Until her gaze fell on Lian Lian and Li Yan, clearly still alive and huddled in the corner, especially seeing Lian Lian lying there with a significantly protruding belly, her brow couldn’t help but twitch.

Even though she hadn’t been pregnant or given birth in her past life, she knew the process well.

Before entering the tomb, Lian Lian’s belly was still flat, yet a few days later it had grown so large; it was undoubtedly abnormal.

What Jiang Lingxi saw, Wu Jue naturally noticed too.

"Did you let her drink the water from that pond?"

Yin Chong too had been occupied dealing with those indiscriminately attacking monsters. Reminded by Wu Jue, he looked towards Lian Lian, finally noticing the change in her body.

He coughed lightly and admitted directly, "Exactly. This time you’re clever, hiding until now to appear when we’re both weakened, making me the mantis. Don’t tell me your aim isn’t the water from the pond, that would be too hypocritical."

Wu Jue chanted a Buddha’s name, "I’m here to stop you."

This statement elicited a mocking laugh, "As expected of the indomitable Wu Jue, still so high-sounding."

"Believe it or not." Although Wu Jue despised Yin Chong’s actions, his main concern was no longer on Yin Chong at that moment.

Glancing around, he could feel Wu Hua’s presence within the hall but couldn’t see her, so he boldly declared, "Wu Hua, even if you come in person this time, I won’t let you take the things in the pond."

At the words ’Wu Hua’, the members of Changcang Sect couldn’t help but be surprised, immediately kneeling on one knee, "Welcome, Sect Leader."

Yun Yi, whose nausea had barely subsided and now witnessing a scene straight out of a TV drama: "..."

I mean, did it have to be this dramatic?

Following that, a sultry voice enough to make one’s bones soft drifted into the ears of all present, "Senior Brother, why do you always like to oppose me?"
