Zhang Ruochen was worried that Mo Xiaogu was that person that he thought she was, and slightly hesitated before making a decision, “Let it go. We should go and collect the Holy Spring first.”

“Alright.”

Fairy Tianchu did not want anything to go wrong either.

Just as they were about to leave, the two pieces of turtle sh.e.l.ls started to vibrate, and quickly flew off.

“What happened?”

Bewildered, Zhang Ruochen chased after.

After reaching the ruin of a group of palaces, Zhang Ruochen found the third piece of turtle sh.e.l.l.

The two pieces of turtle sh.e.l.ls flew around the third piece, before merging together as one, emitting a dazzling purple light.

As the light faded, a palm-sized turtle sh.e.l.l fell.

Although the turtle sh.e.l.l was still incomplete, the fact that the three turtle sh.e.l.ls could merge together was something that was surprising to Zhang Ruochen.

Amazing Little Taoist was so happy that he jumped, and said, “Great! Half of the turtle sh.e.l.l had already been gathered! It should be about time to collect the Purple-gold Bagua Mirror.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Amazing Little Taoist replied, “Didn’t you always wanted to know about the other use of the pieces of these sh.e.l.ls? Actually, using them, we could obtain True Lord Luotian’s Purple-gold Bagua Mirror.”

Zhang Ruochen then asked, “Is it? But didn’t you say that even though True Lord Luotian had died, his presence remained within his body. Anyone who tried to collect the mirror would be killed.”

“That’s that, but now it’s different.”

Amazing Little Taoist shook his small hands, and explained, “Now, given that we had collected half of the broken sh.e.l.ls, we could gain the approval of True Lord Luotian. Moreover, after being so grievously wounded, I had recovered some of my memories, such as how to obtain the Purple-gold Bagua Mirror.”

“You recovered some of your memories? What do you mean?” Zhang Ruochen did not understand.

Amazing Little Taoist casually replied, “I had really lived for so long. So long such that things that happened tens of thousands of years, or even hundred-thousand years ago, would be almost impossible to recall.”

“But as I was so severely injured just now, I remembered how True Lord Luotian had taught me personally, and bestowed upon me the techniques to using the Purple-gold Bagua Mirror.”

Zhang Ruochen felt as though Amazing Little Taoist was really on the same level as Blackie, as they both like to make big talk and tall claims based on their supposed ancient knowledge from eons ago. The worst part about which was that no one could validate if what they are saying is true.

Fairy Tianchu interjected, “We should quickly leave. This place seems odd.”

Zhang Ruochen too felt an inexplicable sense of danger that he could not seem to pinpoint. In this situation, he should naturally back off.

“Are you two leaving? Where are you heading off to?”

A familiar voice sounded.

At that moment, Mo Xiaogu’s figure appeared from within the ruins. Wearing Chou Gu’s boots, holding Pushan’s weapon, and still having the image of a beautiful young woman. However, there was no sign of fear or weakness on her anywhere. Instead, she wore a confident smile.

Zhang Ruochen examined her as he asked, “Why is Lady Xiaogu here?”

“I had always been here!” Mo Xiaogu smiled.

Fairy Tianchu pointed at the ring she was wearing, and asked, “You were the one who killed Gu Feng, right?”

Mo Xiaogu replied, “Why? Does Fairy want to take revenge for him? Ah right, after all, Gu Feng was one of the Spatial Cultivators that you had invited, so it was only natural for you to take revenge.”

Fairy Tianchu’s gaze was cold, and snapped, “Who are you exactly? To kill Gu Feng would not have been an easy task.”

Swis.h.!.+

Rain Thread Divine Sword materialized, and slashed to Mo Xiaogu’s neck.

Mo Xiaogu remained calm, and stepped to the right and immediately appeared a few dozen feet away. Smiling, she sneered, “Fairy, you are already poisoned. If I were you I wouldn’t use Saint Qi, else the poison will take effect even faster.”

“Rubbish.”

Fairy Tianchu continued her a.s.sault, and her sword Qi was like a net casted over Mo Xiaogu.

What was shocking was that Mo Xiaogu made use of Spatial Move to quickly dodge her attacks.

While that was happening, Zhang Ruochen quickly made use of spiritual powers to check if he was poisoned. Confirming that he wasn’t, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“She should be lying to us. Could she really be that demon lady?”

Continuing to observe Mo Xiaogu, Zhang Ruochen hoped to find some kind of weakness.

Mo Xiaogu continued to say, “You are really poisoned by Harmony Pill made by Gu Feng. The poison of the Harmony Pill does not take effect on your physical bodies, and affects your Saint Soul that increases your l.u.s.t. The more Saint Qi you utilize, the faster the effects will start appearing, and the stronger the effect will be.”

All of a sudden, Fairy Tianchu withdrew her sword, and stood on the ground not moving.

Zhang Ruochen looked over, only to see that her pristine white nape actually showed a blush pink, with sweat flowing down her forehead.

Could they really have been poisoned?

Mo Xiaogu frisked her hair gently, and laughed, “I am really looking forward to this. What would such a holy lady like Fairy Tianchu look like when the poison takes effect? Lin Yue, shouldn’t you thank this princess?”
