Chapter 943: Chapter 940 Daughter Village Chapter 943: Chapter 940 Daughter Village “It seems she has been following and watching us all along… Bai Xiaotian, do you still dare to say she's innocent?” Shen Luo asked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotian immediately shook his head like a wave drum.

“Let's go, take us there,” Shen Luo said gravely.

Yuan Qiu acknowledged with a sound and immediately leaped into the air, rapidly pursuing in the direction where the Gu insect had just been killed.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian also quickly followed.

The three of them moved swiftly, chasing for several miles toward the north, and soon arrived at a higher-sloped ground. On the tallest old cypress tree, Yuan Qiu found the crushed corpse of the Gu insect.

“Now it will be easier to find,” he said, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth upon this sight.

He then took out another Gu insect, this one colored gray-white, and waved it over the remains of the dead one.

The gray-white Gu insect, upon detecting the scent, immediately took flight, zooming toward the east.

Shen Luo and the others quickly pursued the Gu insect again.

After fleeing for more than ten miles, Shen Luo suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, “Found her.”

The woman had been concealing her breath until now, but apparently, in her rush to escape the pursuing Gu insect, she couldn't help releasing her Divine Sense to check behind her, and just this momentary fluctuation of divine soul was instantly captured by Shen Luo.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated Yimu Xuandun, chasing after Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue was fleeing in haste when she suddenly saw a figure appear behind her within an instant, just ten-odd miles away, which greatly alarmed her.

Her surroundings lit up with a layer of white light, and her figure blurred in the void, then disappeared from Shen Luo's sight.

Shen Luo immediately spurred on Yimu Xuandun again and pursued.

However, this time when he appeared, he only saw the figure of Lin Xinyue descending towards a dense mountain forest below.

But by the time he also descended, there was no one to be seen on the ground.

When Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Qiu arrived, they saw Shen Luo circling around a huge, bizarre flower, examining it.

The strange giant flower was several dozen feet tall, blood-red in color, with neither stalk nor green leaves, as if a solitary blossom had grown out of the earth from nothing, exuding an eerie air no matter how one looked at it.

“What's going on?” Bai Xiaotian asked in confusion.

Before Shen Luo could speak, Yuan Qiu retrieved the gray-white Gu insect from the strange flower and said, “It seems she disappeared right here.”

“We may have lost the woman, but it seems we've found the village,” Shen Luo said.

“What? You found Daughter Village? Where is it?” Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian quickly looked around.

But after scanning for a while, he still couldn't find a trace of the village.

“Stop looking; it's inside this giant flower,” Shen Luo said.

He had already scrutinized the area with Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil just now and had vaguely seen the phantom of a village within the heart of this massive flower.

“There must be some sort of array or prohibition here. Yuan Qiu, try using your Yuan-Devouring Gu,” Shen Luo suggested.

“Leave it to me,” Yuan Qiu said, eager to try, as he flung his sleeves, releasing two swirls of gray clouds that surged toward the strange giant flower–it was naturally the Yuan-Devouring Gu insects.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian, seeing this, both stepped back slightly to avoid the little creatures emanating an air of corrosion.

As the Yuan-Devouring Gu insects settled on the flower, it too began to emit red light and started to flicker slightly.

All the Yuan-Devouring Gu insects quickly turned into wisps of gray mist, beginning to infiltrate various parts of the giant flower, causing its blood-red color to gradually dim.

However, just moments later, the gray mist clinging to the giant flower began to peel off, transforming back into ash-colored insect shapes and flittering into the air.

But they didn't even reach Yuan Qiu's sleeve before they fell to the ground, one after another, all devoid of life.

“Dead?” Shen Luo's heart tightened.

“The spiritual energy forming this prohibition contains violently toxic poison, which even the Devouring Yuan Gu Insects cannot decompose and digest,” Yuan Qiu said as he looked at the Gu insects littering the ground with a pained expression in his eyes.

Shen Luo's brows were tightly furrowed as he quietly contemplated a countermeasure.

Bai Xiaotian stepped forward, circling the giant flower for a long time but naturally was not able to discern any clues.

“Earlier in the valley, I seem to have been contaminated with some venom and need to recover for a moment, I'll trouble you to protect me for a while,” Shen Luo suddenly said.

“Why are you only mentioning this now?” Bai Xiaotian frowned and asked.

“It's not a big problem, I'll be fine after a bit of recovery,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Qiu then took positions several feet away to protect him.

Shen Luo's eyes closed, but instead of truly circulating his mana to recover, he projected his Divine Sense into the Heavenly Book Space. Faced with the enigmatic structure of the giant flower's array, he was completely clueless and had no choice but to shamelessly ask Yuan Daoist for advice.

And as Shen Luo's thoughts moved, he was sucked into the Heavenly Book, appearing in the Golden Hall.

A moment later, golden mist swirled up in the Golden Hall, gradually coalescing into shape, and from within emerged the figure of Yuan Daoist, clothed in a white robe.

“Daoist friend Shen, what's the matter? Has something occurred again?” Yuan Daoist cut to the chase and asked.

“Nothing's happened; it's just that I encountered an array in a secret realm and I'm at a loss on how to break it. With no other choice, I came to bother Elder,” Shen Luo said.

“It's fine, it's fine, tell me about this array in the secret realm that has stumped you,” Yuan Daoist said.

Shen Luo then recounted the details of the giant flower barrier in Daughter Village to Yuan Daoist.

“Eh, how did you end up in Daughter Village?” Yuan Daoist asked in surprise.

“How does Elder know this is Daughter Village?” This time, it was Shen Luo's turn to be astonished.

“The flower barrier you mentioned, called One Flower, One World, is a profound array art of the Buddhist Sect. As it happens, I know a secret art to unravel it, which I will pass on to you,” Yuan Daoist said.

“Thank you, Elder,” Shen Luo quickly expressed his gratitude.

Yuan Daoist then began to explain bit by bit, with Shen Luo listening intently, completely engrossed.

After a long while, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes. He had already left the Heavenly Book Space, a smile playing on his lips as he stood up from the ground.

“In such a short time, you've recovered already?” Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian hurried over with concern.

“I said it was just a minor poison, nothing to worry about,” Shen Luo said, waving his hand with a smile.

With that, he approached the giant flower, brought his fingers together in one hand, carefully recalling the secret incantation Yuan Daoist had taught him. Then, following his instructions, he began to move around the giant flower.

After one circuit, the chanting sound from his mouth was unending, and the magic spell in his hand unchanging, he continued on to the second circuit.

Despite his doubts, Bai Xiaotian, trusting in the relationship with Shen Luo over many years, did not disturb him and watched in silent accord.

After completing three rounds following the circuit, Shen Luo suddenly stamped on the ground, then turned and began to walk in reverse around the giant flower, not more or less, also completing three rounds.

After three rounds, Shen Luo stood in place and loudly commanded, “Open!”
