Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventeen – The Mysterious Old Man (2/2)

———

Zuo Mo looked warily at the old man in front of him. A Gui stood woodenly by his side. Ceng Lian’er narrowed her eyes as her long sleeve that touched the floor remained still as though she was prepared to attack at any moment.

Zuo Mo was astounded when the old man had materialized like a ghost. The guard outside was tight yet the old man had managed to make his way in without being detected.

Yet what surprised him was that the old man was looking at A Gui. His gaze was complex, mixed with pity, tenderness, and guilt.

Zuo Mo unconsciously shielded A Gui and face the old man guardedly.

“She has the Undying Shen Punishment,” the old man suddenly asked. His eyes were full of a complicated emotion.

Zuo Mo’s body suddenly shook and he abruptly raised his head. He asked gravely as his murderousness came out, “Who are you?”

The old man ignored Zuo Mo. His brow creased with slight dissatisfaction. “Haven’t you found that her Undying Shen Power has a problem?”

“The Undying Shen power has a problem?” Zuo Mo’s expression changed slightly as he rushed to hold A Gui’s wrist.

The purple chain had become even thicker. There seemed to be something that was barely taking form inside A Gui’s soul.

“What is going on?” Zuo Mo’s tone changed. No matter how he tried, he could not see what was being formed inside A Gui’s soul. He was slightly terrified. He could not do anything to the Undying shen power and his greatest fear was a problem occurring.

And as expected, his greatest fear was occurring.

“The Undying Shen Punishment has not changed much,” the old man mused to himself, “other than … …”

“Other than what?” Zuo Mo unconsciously blurted out.

“Unless she formed the Undying Shen Seal.” The old man suddenly raised his head. “Yes, it definitely is the Undying Shen Seal!”

Seeing the blankness on Zuo Mo’s face, the old man explained in a cold voice, “The Undying Shen Punishment is the cruelest shen punishment but it is not without hope. The only solution in legend is to form the Undying Shen Seal and search for life in death! I had not thought the legends were true. The Undying Shen Seal, it definitely is the Undying Shen Seal!”

“So this means that A Gui can break free of the Undying Shen Punishment?” Zuo Mo said joyfully.

“It is not so easy.” The old man smiled coldly. He looked at Zuo Mo, narrowed his eyes that dimmed and brightened. His gaze caused Zuo Mo’s hairs to stand on end. He felt a strong feeling of danger and he was on his guard.

Suddenly, the old man’s expression returned to normal as though the enmity he had just exuded was an illusion. He said lightly, “The Undying Shen Seal is the one in ten thousand chance of life in death. While there is the legend, no one knows how it can formed. It is difficult to say whether she hasthe Undying Shen Power or not. Even if she does, the danger she faces far surpasses your imagination.”

“If you have Reverse Shadow Soul Silkgrass, you may want to try.” The old man looked deeply at Zuo Mo. “You want to know your origins, but it will also help her. Those memories can help her understand her own heart and not get lost in the pain of the Undying Shen Punishment.”

Zuo Mo seemed to understand. He thought of the peaceful A Gui within the purple chains and shook his head. “A Gui will not lose herself.”

The old man stilled slightly when he heard this. His expression quickly recovered and he threw a small bag to Zuo Mo.

“This is Scab Fragrance, feed it to her, it is also of benefit,” the old man said coolly. “Don’t keep your [Angel Device Raiment], it will only bring calamity.”

Zuo Mo received the little bag but noticed the old man’s words. He asked in response, “Bring calamity?”

“You poked the hornet’s nest,” the old man said impatiently. “Also, no matter what, do not expose your identity as Xiao Mo Ge.”

Zuo Mo’s expression changed dramatically. Even Ceng Lian’er’s expression changed and she almost attacked from the side.

The other knew his identity as Xiao Mo Ge!

Zuo Mo’s expression wavered and he was shocked inside.

The old man glanced at Ceng Lian’er and then he was clearly unfriendly when he looked at Zuo Mo. “Hmph, so young, but you have many women.”

Ceng Lian’er was like a cat who had its tail that was stepped on. Her narrowed eyes immediately froze over.

The old man didn’t even look at Zuo Mo. He said, “The yao are a good partner to trade with; ask for [Reincarnation Feather], [Soul Execution Yao Light], [Death Thought Bead].They are all beneficial for her. If it is Tian Huan, trade for the [Tian Huan Case]. If it is Kun Lun, trade for the [Kun Lun Sword Soul], jade level, and get three! Xi Xuan’s [Five Element Soul Dan], Xuan Kong’s [Great Compassion Great Sorrow Life Sutra]. The mo don’t have anything good for healing the soul.”

Zuo Mo was confused but he had a general grasp. He was even more puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, “What is the [Angel Device Raiment?”

“Shen device.”

“Shen device!” Zuo Mo’s eyes widened.

“Just close to it.” The old man added, “Do your best.”

Finishing, the old man disappeared right in front of Zuo Mo’s eyes.

Zuo Mo and Ceng Lian’er changed expression. Zuo Mo suddenly thought of a shen method from the ancient era called the [Shen Void Pass]!

Shen power!

The old man cultivated shen power!

Who was he?

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo’s path to riches has been cut off, and now he has even more things he needs to buy. Little Mo Ge is going to go bankrupt.
