22 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Chapter Seven: I Want to See Her Smile! Everything was completely different from before. Although his mind could no longer project outward, he could feel an unseen presence standing directly in front of him! That presence instructed him, "Go this way." "You..." You Gui's body started to tremble violently. He remembered now! The young girl had once told him that when she was plagued by the curse of immortality, an invisible friend had always been there to support her. And the reason she later chose to end her life was because that invisible friend had disappeared. "Why?" You Gui did not move forward as instructed by this 'person.' He clenched his fists tightly and shouted with all his might, his voice a blend of seventy percent anger and thirty percent confusion. But all his efforts were in vain. The only response was the sound of wind and snow. There he stood, for what seemed like an eternity, before he finally had to yield. Go on. While he still had a little strength left. You Gui clutched the vile blade hidden in his sleeve. Like a walking corpse, he followed the unseen presence. Just like that. For the remainder of his journey, he no longer fell into any dangerous places. He even encountered a group of travelers, from whom he learned that Haitang Spring Garden lay ahead. You Gui stopped in his tracks. The invisible person also halted to wait for him. He didn’t know whether he should cry or laugh. “If that's the case, why didn't you stay by her side all along? Trying to make amends now can't bring her back.” “……” Her? The female cultivator trailing You Gui furrowed her brow. It seemed she had guessed wrong. It wasn’t loyalty to the Underworld Palace that kept You Gui going. This realization puzzled her deeply; she couldn’t quite grasp the full complexity of it. But that didn’t stop her from seeing that stooped figure as incredibly imposing. Even though she could easily crush the current You Gui with a single finger, a voice inside her kept insisting that You Gui was invincible. Moments later. A void-like gust began to swirl around You Gui, standing at the entrance of Bronze Valley. The struggling You Gui was lifted off the ground, like a kite pulled by a string, gently descending. The female cultivator's pupils contracted. "He's burning his own soul?!" Doesn't this mean You Gui is already on the path to death? Once his soul is completely consumed, there will be no You Gui left in this world. And yet, even in this state, burning his soul wouldn’t cause Jiang Jing any harm. The female cultivator hesitated whether to keep following him. Until she saw You Gui plunge into that palace. At that moment, like a stone dropping into a calm pond, soft white light rippled out from the palace doors. One ring. Another. Within seconds, the whole palace lit up. But what stood out the most was the statue of the Candle Dragon at the palace entrance. Its eyes, already glowing with a faint light, became dazzlingly bright, as if the statue had suddenly come to life. “Let’s go in and take a look!” The female cultivator gritted her teeth. With a leap, she darted into the palace. ... Monsters roared in the sky. Blinding red light carried an overwhelmingly vicious aura. It looked like a blood-drenched hammer, poised to strike at any moment. But what made Bai Lian feel...
