3027 The Man Behind It All (2/2)
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
”When I first arrived, the desert was already swallowing the cities nearby. Many lives were taken away, all filled with resentment. I believe the calamity is still ongoing. This means that the strength of this prison will only grow stronger over time. It will be very difficult to purify.”
Di Fuyi closed his eyes and hugged her tightly. ”Xijiu, I am so sorry to let you down.”
Gu Xijiu remained quiet.
She was not ready to give up and scanned her mind for any possible solutions. An abrupt thought reminded her of a series of spells that could be useful. In searching for a solution, she managed to find a way to create a strong wizardry barrier, but even then, it would only prolong their survival a little longer, so she did not bother to create it.
They leaned against each other within the wizardry barrier that Di Fuyi first created. The barrier was already losing its rigidity and might collapse at any moment.
In the very end, Gu Xijiu finally gave up.
She buried herself in Di Fuyi's arms as she watched the black water grow deeper and darker. ”Fuyi, I am sorry for bringing you into this trouble. Who do you think is the person behind it all? It will be my regret if I do not find out.”
”Fan Qianshi,” Di Fuyi calmly said.
”How do you know?”
”Firstly, only Fan Qianshi knows the Soul Kneading Spell. Secondly, building the dark water prison using resentful spirits is a special skill that not many people know about. From my research, Fan Qianshi used to have a close link to one of the people who knew this technique many years ago. He must have taught Fan Qianshi the method, which he then passed on to the demon. Thirdly, and most importantly, Fan Qianshi wants me dead for good or at least to trap me for life. Now, his goal is achieved.”
”Haha! It seems you are the real Di Fuyi! What a smart man! You are smart enough to have guessed it all, but it is too late!” A sudden voice emerged. Fan Qianshi then made a graceful appearance on the outside of the water prison.
