1596 What A Lame Description?! (2/2)

Gu Xijiu and Rong Jialuo had been separated for the past eight years, so she could not be sure about the cause of his change, whether it was because of his insights from years of leadership, or his experience from years of tough relationships with the people.

Furthermore, his appearance had not changed much even after eight years. He still looked like a man in his twenties. His spiritual power increased, too. It used to be only at level six and a half; now it was level eight. The only flaw in the perfect man was his complexion. He looked unusually pale as if he had not seen the sun in years.

Gu Xijiu thought about the ritual ceremony of sorrowful souls' salvation. They had been tortured while they were alive, as they looked very distorted. Their bodies were covered entirely in red due to their soaring grievances. She could not even tell if they were men or women.

Luckily, she knew the most powerful method to expiate their sins. Otherwise, her inner strength would be affected by their extreme negativity as well.

Although she managed to keep calm, she could still feel the aftermath. Her blood started to boil with indignation, as the negative emotions within her were further provoked by the negativity of the sorrows. For an instant, she was tempted to slaughter the people around her.

She noticed that something was wrong before the negativity took over. With her extraordinary power, she quickly regulated her breathing and purified the negativity that had invaded her body. Soon, she managed to restore her calmness.

Under normal circumstances, her Kung Fu would usually prevent the surrounding negativity from invading her body. The sudden change took her by surprise. Was it because of her fragile state of mind? Or was it because of the strength of the sorrowful souls?

”Did you feel that the sorrowful souls were stronger today?” Gu Xijiu was perplexed.

Qian Lingyu hesitated a little but nodded. ”They were really powerful, about ten times stronger than the normal ones.”

He thought about it and continued, ”They seemed very distorted. They had probably experienced extreme pain when they were alive. Apparently, one of them died from dismemberment, as it kept demanding that I gave it back its flesh. It gave me goosebumps just thinking of the situation.”

”The sorrowful souls seemed to be created by someone on purpose, must be the fake Celestial Master Zuo, right?”
