The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 295 - 293: The Real and Fake Chu Yan, Indistinguishable from Each Other

Chapter 295: Chapter 293: The Real and Fake Chu Yan, Indistinguishable from Each Other

"The interior records the methods for suppressing Evil Spirits, as well as the Cultivation Techniques of our Bo People for cultivation.

The Array that suppresses the Evil Spirit disperses its power among the clanspeople, so each generation will produce an offspring with superior talent.

That offspring will grow up to be a Priest through cultivation, and only after death, can they continue to suppress the Evil Spirit of Decline Cliff.

If we can eliminate the Evil Spirit, we are willing to share the Sheepskin Scroll with the lady."

As the Spiritual Energy of modern times becomes increasingly thin, they didn’t know whether their descendants would be able to cultivate after the Evil Spirit was eliminated. Rather than this, they might as well owe Qin Zhao a favor.

Their most talented descendant of this generation was that boy named Bai Qi.

Before the last Priest died, he had brought Bai Qi here, and all the ancestral Priests had met him. But none of them noticed anything amiss with Bai Qi.

Perhaps it was after that last meeting with the ancestors that Bai Qi ended up being possessed by the Evil Spirit named Bai Qi.

After Qin Zhao agreed, the Priests told her Bai Qi’s weaknesses.

The weakness was his real skeleton within Decline Cliff.

As long as the real skeleton was destroyed, one could easily annihilate his soul. And the residual soul that escaped would become incredibly weak.

Qin Zhao put away Tengshe and descended to the bottom of the cliff once more.

Led by the High Priest, she came to the graveyards inside Decline Cliff.

In ancient times, the Evil Spirit Bai Qi had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation. His human-skinned puppets could not only serve him but also transform into human likenesses.

The human-like puppets had a strong enchantment that would stir the deepest evils and shadows in people’s hearts; eventually, they’d die at the puppet’s hands and be turned into new puppets by Bai Qi.

The more human-skinned puppets he made, the more he was like having an army of thousands.

When Bai Qi caused chaos, even formidable Heavenly Masters came to annihilate him, but all died by his puppets. Had he not slaughtered his own people, leading them to turn against and kill him, such a formidable Nascent Soul might have lived to the present.

And the clanspeople, by killing him, suppressed his corpse and soul here, also paid a tremendous price.

Just now, Bai Qi had lured Chu Yan back to the village, provoking his killing intent, hoping to incite him to annihilate the Bo People, because the bloodline of the Bo People would divert his power.

Not only that, as long as the bloodline of the Bo People existed, his soul could never completely leave Decline Cliff. That his residual soul managed to escape was the result of striving for over a thousand years.

Due to this destiny, the Bo People could never leave their village for long periods. If they were away for too long, they’d face backlash from the Array and consequently die in accidents.

Chu Yan noticed something was wrong and struck another palm at Bai Qi.

The groom’s wedding clothes lay scattered on the ground, with a human-skinned puppet still inside!

After they’d gone into the mountain, the human-skinned puppet assumed the likeness of Bai Qi, prepared for the wedding at home, and told Bai Fen and other villagers he was getting married.

He lured many people over, including bringing Chu Yan to the scene.

The wedding that had just occurred — the puppet had deliberately enraged Chu Yan, hoping to incite him to kill all the clanspeople.

The villagers in the courtyard, upon seeing two live humans suddenly disappear and turn into puppet dolls, had already fled from Bai Fen’s house in terror, while Bai Fen just stood there dumbfounded.

Chu Yan paid her no mind, turned, and left the village, heading back into the mountain.

Qin Zhao and the others hadn’t returned yet; surely they were still in the mountain.

At this time, the mist in the mountain had also gradually receded a lot, and the drizzle had stopped.

Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Qiu hid in a cave, barely able to discern the hazy scenery outside the cave entrance.

Creak, creak.

The sound of someone walking on dry branches, slowly approaching.

"Could it be Qin Zhao and others have come looking for us?"

Shangguan Qiu glanced at Shangguan Jing and walked towards the outside of the cave.

From a distance, a figure could be seen walking through the mist toward them.

With a tall and straight stature, a cold yet handsome face, it was indeed Chu Yan.

"You haven’t found Qin Zhao? Where on earth did she go?"

Shangguan Qiu was worried about Qin Zhao’s safety when she saw Chu Yan approaching alone without Qin Zhao by his side.

"I don’t know."

Chu Yan entered the cave, "I think she might have gone back to Decline Cliff, but I didn’t dare go there alone. Now that the rain has stopped, can you come with me to look for Qin Zhao?"

"Of course, securing Qin Zhao’s safety is more important."

Shangguan Jing readily agreed since they had already found the belongings of three geologists.

He picked up his backpack and led the way with Shangguan Qiu.

"It’s getting darker, we need to find Qin Zhao quickly."

If it got dark and they were still in the mountains, accidents were likely to happen. The thought of the bones in the cave sent shivers down their spines.

"Do you know how they died?"

Chu Yan, following behind, suddenly asked.

"You mean the bones in the cave?"

Shangguan Jing sighed, "I don’t know. After reading their diary, we knew they had come here to shelter from the rain and were then taken down the mountain by the Bo People.

There were no more records after that; their death was here."

"That guide from the Bo People must be problematic!" Shangguan Qiu asserted confidently, "When we get back to the village, we can press the Clan Leader for answers, we’re sure to find out something crucial."

Chu Yan stopped in his tracks and let out a low laugh.

At that moment, Shangguan Jing also stopped walking.

He couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked into the distance, for there was also a Chu Yan.

"No need to wait until we get back, I can let you know right now."

Chu Yan from behind them said so.

"How could you know?"

Shangguan Qiu asked in confusion, about to turn around when Shangguan Jing suddenly tackled her to the ground.

"You’re not Chu Yan! Who the hell are you!"

A tree branch whizzed past where Shangguan Qiu had just been standing and impaled a nearby tree. If Shangguan Jing had been a second slower, that branch would have pierced Shangguan Qiu’s heart!

"He must be Bai Qi, the creator of the human-skinned puppets!"

Another Chu Yan suddenly appeared in front of them. He sneered as his Spiritual Power lashed out at the fake Chu Yan, his powerful force sending him flying.

The figure shifted, and the fake Chu Yan turned into the likeness of Bai Qi.

His eyes glared malevolently at the people before him, his face pale.

"Gathered together? Perfect."

To say he was Bai Qi was not exact.

It should be Bai Qi, for Bai Qi’s body had long been controlled by the residual soul of the Evil Spirit Bai Qi.

Bai Qi let out a bizarre laugh.

The woods became dark and lifeless, as pairs of crimson eyes appeared all around, accompanied by the eerie laughter of children. These were all human-skinned puppets created by Bai Qi, about a dozen of them, encircling them.

"Giggle, giggle."

The strange laughter spread through the woods as the human-skinned puppets gradually took on the form of people familiar to them.

If he could kill these few individuals, his power would recover significantly.

Then, he would be able to break through the Priests’ Arrays and personally exterminate the entire Bo People!

He had waited a thousand years for this opportunity!
