Chapter 570.
“It’s starting.”
Feeling the gradual change in temperature within the Compassion God Cave, Ah Zhu looked up at the entrance to the second level of the cave chamber and muttered.
“Ah Zhu ……”
Tian Youfang’s gaze landed on Ah Zhu’s body as he softly called out.
However, Ah Zhu acted as if she hadn’t heard it at all, only quietly looking at the dark cave entrance.
“Sister Ah Zhu.”
Xiao Jiu shouted.
Only then did Ah Zhu turn around:
“Hmm?”
“Ana is calling you.”
Xiao Jiu gestured to her.
Only then did Ah Zhu drift off and came to Tian Youfang’s attention:
“Fang got a bit dazed and didn’t hear you calling me ……
“What’s wrong? Is it somewhere uncomfortable?”
Tian Youfang shook his head and reached out his hand to touch Ah Zhu’s hair.
Wu Di watched from the sidelines, feeling a little sour, but then sighed.
It only felt that all these years in the past, this scene that originally made his heart sour was something he had dreamed of.
Compared to love, Wu Di was more hopeful that their friendship could last.
As long as they were both well, the hurdle in their hearts, sooner or later, could be passed one day.
It was just that what both Tian Youfang and Wu Di did not expect was.
Facing Tian Youfang’s touch, Ah Zhu subconsciously shrunk back and let go of that hand.
Tian Youfang froze for a moment, then sighed:
“You and I haven’t seen each other for many years, I think you must blame me.
“Blame me for hastily stealing your butterfly compulsion back then without finding out the truth, otherwise, with the clan leader’s ability, maybe I can still help you move the flower to change it back ……”
“I didn’t blame you.”
Ah Zhu shook her head slightly:
“I ……”
She said this, but stopped.
Her head hung low not knowing what she was thinking ……
“Then why did you not even pay much attention to me after we reunited?”
Tian Youfang looked at the girl in front of him with eyes full of affection and said softly:
“Ah Zhu, can we still go back to the past?”
“Back to the past ……”
Ah Zhu mumbled and repeated Tian Youfang’s words, and suddenly shook her head fiercely.
Then somewhat painfully covered his head.
“Ah Zhu, what’s wrong with you?”
Tian Youfang’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to try to assist Ah Zhu, who was about to fall to the ground.
But just as his hand touched Ah Zhu’s arm, he was met with a vicious fling of her hand, directly opening his palm:
“Don’t touch me!!!”
The voice was cold and stern, calling out to people’s hearts.
The several people within the cave room changed their faces at the same time.
“Sister Ah Zhu?”
“Ah Zhu!?”
“What’s wrong with you? Where is it hard?”
“Headache?”
Each one of them asked, and although their faces changed, their words were all filled with concern.
Ah Zhu seemed to have calmed down a lot at this moment.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes flickering with complex emotions as she looked towards the several people present.
She was about to open her mouth to speak, but she violently sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
When the blood fell to the ground, a few wriggling worms were seen rolling in the blood.
Tian Youfang’s eyes fell, and with just a glance, his face had changed drastically, and the luster in his eyes when he looked up again was already full of disbelief:
“What is this?”
Ah Zhu on the other hand seemed to be fiercely relieved, she gently rubbed her head and knocked it before saying:
“I didn’t realize that this place had such a function.
“It is worthy of being the place where the Compassion King resides.
“Even with the remnants of its breath, it can still call this ‘Floating Life Compassion’ restless.
“Giving me a chance to breathe ……
“That old thing only dreamed that the Floating Life Compulsion that he went to such great lengths to place on me would be forced out in such a way, right?”
With these words, Ah Zhu looked up at Tian Youfang:
“You are a genius figure, why do you need to knowingly ask now?
“Seeing the Floating Life Compass, you should understand everything.”
“Floating Life Compass?”
Apart from Tian Youfang in the room, even Wu Di’s eyes were slightly confused.
Looking towards Tian Youfang:
“Ana, what is the Floating Life Compass?”
“…… Thousands of red dust, one piece of floating life.”
A great despair was outlined in Tian Youfang’s eyes, his face turned pale and his fingertips were trembling.
And Wu Di, who heard his eight words, also seemed to have thought of something.
His pupils contracted violently:
“Cut the red dust and weave a dream of floating life.
“You …… you …… this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!!”
“Ah Shang, what the hell are you talking about?”
Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but open his mouth to inquire.
Instead, it was Ah Zhuo whose heart tightened, vaguely gasping for air.
He looked incredulously at the girl in front of him, whose appearance was exactly the same as Ah Zhuo’s, and heard her say word for word:
“Doesn’t he understand what he means?
“I was put in my mind, weaving a dream.
“Thinking that I am another person …… In reality, I am not that person at all.
“Your Bamboo was killed by your patriarchal grandfather on that night several years ago!
“Your Ana saw it clearly and plainly.
“None of that was fake, it was the real deal, what happened right in front of us!!!”
Her voice was not loud, yet when it fell on the ears of the crowd, it was like a thunderbolt.
It only made people dizzy, and they couldn’t just pass out.
“No…… won’t!”
Xiao Jiu said in a hurry:
“You guys don’t be fooled …… She is clearly here, she is Sister Ah Zhu ah.
“Last night, the words she found us to say, only Sister Ah Zhu could say them.
“How could she be another person?
“Moreover, how under the sky could someone look so much like another person?
“Barely half the difference?
“Is this reasonable?”
Xiao Jiu’s voice grew louder and louder, and by the end of the day, he didn’t know if he was trying to convince himself with words, or if he was trying to prove something with that louder and louder voice.
It was just that Tian Youfang, Wu Di and Ah Zhuo were not convinced by her.
Nor did their eyes burn with the color of hope.
Just then, she heard ‘Ah Zhuo’ let out a light laugh:
“Little Miss Nine, you are simple and easy to deceive.
“What can such a thing as a face amount to?
“Not to mention that there are people under this sky who have the ability to disguise themselves, and even more so, there are some martial arts that can change a person’s appearance to the point where it can be faked.
“As for to your flute clan ……
“The means of that patriarch of yours is even more extraordinary.
“To be honest, the compulsion technique is indeed amazing.
“When used well, it can live countless people, and when used to kill people, it is also untraceable.
“This face of mine was modified little by little under the blade of your patriarch’s grandfather to look like this.
“Do you know …… what kind of situation that is?
“Every day when I open my eyes, the sharp pain on my face is enough to destroy my mind.
“That old face, holding a dagger in front of my eyes to compare the appearance, as long as the recall, call for a person’s scalp numbness.
“Predisposed to his means, whether it is to peel my skin and repair the bones, or split the flesh and blood, to repair the form …… even if the torture of the blood and pain, but also in just two or three days, so that I can grow well again.
“Although the process is not called pleasant is.
“The feeling of those bugs climbing between the flesh and blood is worse than hell.”
As she said this, it seemed as if she recalled something, and her eyes were flooded with endless scorn.
After a slight pause, she however smiled again:
“However, do you know …… what really makes people despair?
“It is when you have endured countless pains and grown a good face.
“He stares at you for a couple of moments and then tells you …… oh, your chin is a little too pointy and the bones need to be sharpened.
“Oh, your cheekbones are too high, they need to be thwarted ……
“I could feel his knife, the sound it made as it sliced through my skin, and I could even feel the powder of my bones sprinkling between that open flesh and blood as he thwarted them with that iron file ……
“And all this only because, with this face, he would deceive you.
“Are you people really worth all this trouble?”
Her laughter was laced with sarcasm and hatred:
“However, in hindsight, although this move of his is troublesome and has caused me to suffer.
“But it is also really good.
“The Floating Life Compass weaves a floating dream, making me think I am Ah Zhu.
“And then go on to tell you all the lies he has compiled.
“Even …… he is very sure that as long as it is topped with this face, out of the flute clan, you guys will baba come out of hiding and hand over everything that you can never hand over easily!
“I have to say, you guys are really his masterpieces too.
“He really knows you all.
“Understanding your strengths, he equally understands your weaknesses, holding you all easily, leaving you powerless to fight back!!!”
Xiao Jiu was speechless for a moment as she listened to her words.
She couldn’t help but look towards Wu Di and Ah Zhuo, as well as Tian Youfang, hoping that they would be able to produce evidence to prove that what this ‘Ah Zhuo’ in front of her had said, was all false.
Only when she looked over, what she got was still only silence.
And just as she was about to say something else, Wu Di gently pressed her hand as he sighed and said:
“So, all of this was planned by Grandfather Clan Chief a long time ago?
“With Ana at large in the jungle, it wasn’t easy to find him.
“Wanting him to return to the Flute Clan is even more impossible. …… Especially if you know what he wants to do, Ana should, naturally, go far away!
“The only thing that puts Ana’s mind at ease is actually us.
“Therefore, he deliberately let me leave the Flute Clan to search for Ana.
“If I can’t find it on this trip, he won’t lose anything if I return empty-handed.
“But where we can find it, we will certainly entangle each other.
“Among them, no matter how many results there are, I will not let go easily.
“And at this time, as long as I was caught back to the Flute Clan …… clear about the original cause of the matter Ana, will certainly not let me go.
“After all, among the words of the patriarch.
“No matter how ruthless I am to Ana, Ana is still deeply righteous to me.
“He won’t let me die. …… So he’ll secretly follow me.
“And when that time comes, it’s time for you, the understudy, to make your debut.
“In a few words, you can trick Ana to death and play us for fools!
“Impressive, I must say, his old man’s methods are truly impressive.
“Not to mention me, even Ana doesn’t have such skills.
“Can be the hearts of the people, calculated to this …… and have this kind of means to implement this kind of trick!”
“You are able to figure these things out so quickly, which impresses me.”
‘Ah Zhu’ raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Wu Di.
In turn, Wu Di smiled and said:
“Actually, in this way, there is no enmity between you and us.
“On the contrary, our opponents are actually the same person.
“I wonder, is the girl willing to do us a favor?”
“Unwilling.”
‘Ah Zhu’ had already refused without even thinking about it, her eyes were cold and stern as she spoke grimly:
“The reasoning is indeed the reasoning, there is no enmity between us.
“But the problem is, if it weren’t for you, would this girl have suffered such humiliation?
“You’re right, I hate that old thing, I hate that I can’t eat his flesh and sleep in his skin! Tear down all of his bones and build a chair to sit under his butt every day, so that he will never be able to turn around!
“But ah, I hate you all just as much every time he cuts a knife in my face.
“Whether it’s your grudge or this old man’s scheming, what does it have to do with me?
“Why should I be the one who ultimately suffers this endless pain!
“You all, like him, shall not die a good death!
“Moreover, since you are all powerless to resist now, then why don’t I let you also experience the evil that he did on me at that time!”
As she spoke, she took out a dagger from her bosom and grinned fiercely:
“Come to think of it, as the leader of the Flute Clan, how could he not know the wonders of this Compassion King’s habitat?
“Even if this place is useless to his Heart Devouring Compulsion, this Floating Compulsion is the most vulnerable ……
“Perhaps, he is deliberately letting me stay here so that this Floating Life Compulsion can be detached from my brain.
“So that I can recall everything, and lend me a hand to decimate the four of you.
“But don’t worry, after you all die, I will also go into the Compassion God Cave.
“Tell all of this, all of it.
“I think that demonic father will avenge you all.
“Of course, the premise is that he has to have such a skill ……”
“He naturally has such a skill.”
A voice suddenly came from the entrance of the second level cave chamber.
‘Ah Zhu’s’ face changed and he turned his head violently.
However, he saw that the entrance to the cave chamber was empty.
While he was staggered, he heard that voice come from where Tian Youfang and the others were again:
“Where are you looking? I’m here.”
‘Ah Zhu’ hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw a girl sitting on the platform where the Compass King was originally perched.
‘Ah Zhu’ naturally recognized this girl.
She was the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, only in her opinion, this Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect didn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities other than being cute around that surnamed Jiang.
She seemed to be quite timid and afraid of ghosts.
Rather, she didn’t expect that she would have a lightweight skill like this.
The person who came was Tang Yuyi.
When Tian Youfang saw her, Fang sighed in relief and let out a bitter smile:
“Miss Tang ……
“Your Holiness, could it be that you have already made a guess? That’s why you were sent back?”
Without waiting for Tang Wuyi to speak, ‘Ah Zhu’ had already let out a cold laugh:
“I didn’t expect that Ana, who was praised like this, would also have moments of blindness like this.
“That surnamed Jiang goes with the flow, and what insight into foresight can he have?
“This Demon Cult’s Demon Venerable, to put it mildly, is only highly skilled in martial arts, and is practically worthless.”
“Unbridled.”
Tang Yuyi’s eyes sank:
“Slap your mouth!”
“You do ……”
Before a single word ‘dream’ could be uttered, ‘Ah Zhu’ had already slapped herself.
She looked at her hand with a confused expression, completely unaware of what had happened.
Previously, she had dealt with Tang Yuyi and knew that this girl had some skills and could awaken people’s memories.
However, there were two types of compulsion in her body, one that obscured memories and one that molded false memories.
Tang Yuyi’s heart demonic thoughts barely broke through the cracks of the first compulsion, peering into some false memories, but unable to reach the core.
It was evident that the skill was nothing more than that.
But she didn’t expect that by just palming a sentence, she had somehow made herself really slap herself.
Naturally, she didn’t know that the power of the Heart Demon Thought was more than that?
Previously, not because of the lack of power of the heart demon idea, but worried about her being harmed by the compulsion in her head, only then did not pour out his strength.
If there was nothing to worry about, the two compulsion techniques could be broken.
But in that case, it would be difficult to save her life.
At that time, the situation was not clear, so naturally, she could not act in such a brutal manner.
Now that the two kinds of parasites in her body had all been forced out, there was no more hand for the Heart Demon Nian Zi Zai.
She could be easily crushed by Tang Wuyi.
Seeing Tang Wuyi glance at Tian Youfang, she sighed softly:
“My brother-in-law, he’s suspicious by nature.
“No matter what you say, he won’t completely believe it.
“This matter relies on us …… who made us lay a big lie for him when he first came out of the jianghu.
“So much so that he has kept his hand in everything since then.
“It’s just that he actually kind of hopes that this hand of his is a wasted effort.
“Whole this dream of a few of you ……
“It’s just a pity that a fake is a fake after all, and can’t become real.
“In the end, it still made you guys experience a big up and down change of heart.”
Tian Youfang slowly lowered his head after hearing this.
There were surpluses of shiny things that fell from his cheeks ……
Both fists were clenched and trembling that could not be suppressed.
It had to be said that the patriarch had indeed woven a beautiful dream for him.
He could completely accept that his hatred over the past few years was a joke, and it didn’t matter about all the hatred and misunderstandings that had once fallen upon him.
He only hoped that it was all a lie and that the girl would still be able to appear in front of him.
Calling out to him as Ana.
“Last night …… this dream, realized …… is almost coming true.”
Tian Youfang tried to control his voice not to tremble, but still could not be suppressed with a nasal voice.
His wrist was tight, and when he looked down, Wu Di was holding his arm in a death grip.
Eyes reddened and said:
“Ana …… avenge Azhu.”
The moment a single sentence entered his heart, it revitalized Tian Youfang’s entire spirit.
He took a deep breath:
“That’s right …… Ah Zhu …… Ah Zhu she ……
“It’s useless to be sad when things have come to this point.
“Haven’t we, in fact, already accepted this reality a long time ago?
“The only thing to do now is to avenge her.”
“But, our instinctive compulsion, have all been handed over to the matriarch …… to that old undead.”
Xiao Jiu gritted his teeth and said:
“Nowadays what can we take revenge with?”
Wu Di looked up brightly:
“Miss Tang, go quickly, the matriarch has set up such a plot, it’s never as simple as dealing with the Compassion God!
“Your Holiness will only be in danger!!!”
Tang Yuyi rolled her eyes:
“Your first day following him, huh?
“Bai Yulou’s thousand years of internal strength still can’t hurt him a bit.
“That Compassion God has only lived for a thousand years, and has been lying around for nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
“Even if she can really stand up and swindle, your honor can also let her lie back as a dead person.”
