Chapter 120 A gentleman takes revenge immediately; a grudge is settled face to face.
Although she has a system that allows her to use other people's spiritual power, Zi Ying can also suppress these evil spirits.
But could all those overwhelming things flying towards her from afar be evil spirits?
At this rate, she might die of exhaustion before she even runs out of spiritual energy.
If it doesn't work, I still have to run. I need to find a place to hide first.
Now she's a perfect target, just waiting for evil spirits to come after her.
If her current cultivation level is not at the first level of the Golden Core stage, but at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, then there is nothing to fear.
But right now, it's clear that the evil spirits are the butchers and she's the fish on the chopping block!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Huohuo threw down an explosive talisman and ran away with Zi Ying.
She dared not fly on her sword anymore, since the only things flying in the sky were evil spirits and her, which was far too conspicuous.
As she turned one street corner after another, and just as the evil spirit chasing her disappeared, Gao Huohuo was about to put on an invisibility talisman when a pair of hands covered her mouth.
Holy crap, there are other living people here?
Then a familiar scent wafted over, and Gao Huohuo realized that the person covering her mouth with their hand was Zhong Hanshang.
Gao Huohuo's eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this person perhaps a ghost in disguise?
She wrote on his hand with a wary expression and asked him, "How many times have they met?"
Zhong Hanshang found Gao Huohuo's wary expression somewhat amusing.
Just as I was about to tease her, I heard the evil spirit chasing after us.
Zhong Hanshang quickly put on the hood of his purple robe and pulled Gao Huohuo over to hide inside his robe.
Although the two were a little distance apart, they were still somewhat crowded under the same robe.
Just as Gao Huohuo was about to come out, he heard a low voice in his ear.
"Don't move. This purple robe can isolate us from the aura of the living, making the spirits think we are of the same kind."
"Can't my invisibility talisman work?"
"An invisibility talisman only makes you invisible, but your presence is still there. Why don't you give it a try?"
Let's give it a try. Anyway, she has so many invisibility talismans, and she can draw more on the spot if needed.
Just to be on the safe side, Gao Huohuo pasted two stickers at once before emerging from under Zhong Hanshang's robes.
The spirit instantly headed towards Gao Huohuo's direction, its movements suggesting it was still trying to discern something.
Gao Huohuo quickly took a few steps in another direction, and the Yin Spirit followed him in that direction.
She originally intended to leave quietly, but the next second the spirit struck her invisibility talisman with a single palm strike.
The surrounding spirits swarmed around her again, forcing Gao Huohuo to take out her whip and start a new round of battle.
Indeed, no evil spirits had passed by the location where Zhong Hanshang was.
It seems this invisibility talisman really needs improvement. After she finishes this round, she'll find a place to hide and study it.
But apart from Zhong Hanshang's purple robe, where else could she hide in Luoxia City?
Does she really intend to spend the night under the same robe as Zhong Hanshang?
Although Zhong Hanshang is not bad-looking, she doesn't like him, so it's still awkward for the two of them to be together.
Most importantly, she had absolutely no desire to get involved with the disciples of these major sects.
Especially for cultivators like Zhong Hanshang, who are upright, awe-inspiring, and proud.
If I had found out later that she was actually an evil cultivator, I would have chased after her with my sword and slashed her.
So it's best to avoid contact in the first place, so you won't feel embarrassed when you start fighting each other.
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo decided that even if it meant fighting all night, he would never stay with Zhong Hanshang again.
So he swung the whip even harder, running as he whipped it.
Lure the nearby spirits into a courtyard, Gao Huohuo threw down three explosive talismans, and then ran away.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhong Hanshang the next second.
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."
As soon as Zhong Hanshang finished speaking, he pulled Gao Huohuo under the purple robe.
With the purple robe providing cover, Zhong Hanshang carried her directly while riding his sword.
They soon arrived at the city lord's mansion, and Zhong Hanshang flew inside with her.
Huh? She's allowed in again?
Was it because of Zhong Hanshang? Or because of the nighttime?
"Fellow Daoist Gao, I am truly sorry. The situation was urgent just now, and I have offended you greatly."
After Zhong Hanshang finished speaking, he bowed to Gao Huohuo to apologize.
Gao Huohuo quickly put away the jumbled thoughts in her mind and waved to Zhong Hanshang.
Then I asked a crucial question: "Can't evil spirits get in here?"
"Yes, I stayed here before I met you. I only went out after I heard the explosion."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo was taken aback. "You stay here during the day too?"
"No, I didn't go out before dark, that's why I found this place."
Why are you here alone? Didn't Fellow Daoist Su come with you?
"Fellow Daoist Su went to find a place to work with the Chaos Pearl, so I said I would come to Luoxia City to take a look first."
As a result, I lost track of time and was chased by evil spirits. While fleeing, I encountered you.
Hearing Gao Huohuo's words, Zhong Hanshang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought Gao Huohuo had placed a tracking artifact on him, after all, she had many strange things on her.
Then, knowing that he was in Luoxia City, he deliberately lured the spirits to find him.
"We've finally made it in, let's take a look around the City Lord's Mansion!"
Hearing Gao Huohuo's words, Zhong Hanshang asked with a puzzled look:
"You finally managed to get in? Couldn't you get in before?"
"Yes, I tried it during the day."
"It's because I couldn't get in that I was trying to figure out why, and that's what caused the delay."
Is that even a valid claim? That's quite strange.
Now that she's finally in, Gao Huohuo wants to know why she couldn't come in during the day.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, where do you think a city lord's study is usually located?"
"Come with me!"
After Zhong Hanshang finished speaking, he got up and walked to the front, leading Gao Huohuo to a room on the right.
Gao Huohuo stepped through the door, looked around, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I couldn't help but blurt out, "It really is a study!"
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, you are indeed very capable!" His words were full of admiration and praise.
Zhong Hanshang's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile as he chuckled softly:
"I'm powerful? It's only because I come from the Qingyun Sect."
"I'm only benefiting from the sect's reputation; others only see the Qingyun Sect's name, they don't really value my own abilities."
His words carried a hint of loneliness and helplessness.
Listen to this! So this is the trouble of geniuses?
Gao Huohuo, however, raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and said in a carefree manner:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, I've noticed that your focus is a bit off."
If you are strong enough, why do you care what others think?
Anyway, if they're not convinced, then fight them. If anyone's not convinced, just beat them up until they submit.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang couldn't help but show a look of shock.
This style of behavior is different from the earnest teachings he received from his sect.
For a moment, he was stunned and stood there.
Seeing Zhong Hanshang's expression, Gao Huohuo assumed he still didn't understand and continued:
As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge without letting it linger overnight; he resolves grudges face to face.
Zhong Hanshang said somewhat uncertainly, "Huh? Isn't it said that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years?"
"Don't worry about the details. After a night, either your anger will subside and you won't be able to do it."
"Even if you get so angry you die, you'll never get your revenge."
