Chapter 905: Xu Xirou’s Life and Death Are on the Line

The two of them walked side by side, following the river.

..

The red fruit tree had been growing by the Dual World River for decades. It would bear fruit every spring when the flowers bloomed. The fruit was red and the size of an adult’s fist. It had a lot of water and was very sweet.

Underground, dozens of feet.

It was a huge underground space. It was an unknown organization’s stronghold. After it was destroyed, it had been abandoned for countless years. The walls were covered with moss, and the corners and ceiling were covered with spider webs. Some places were leaking water, and droplets of water dripped down. It had not been cleaned for a long time, and it contained a strong musty smell.

At this moment.

The walls were filled with people. They were wearing the uniforms of the disciples of Changqing Academy and Jixia Academy, as well as the great scholars. However, they were already dead. Their corpses were preserved with secret techniques to prevent them from drying up and losing their righteous energy.

Besides them, Xu Xirou, who had disappeared, was also there. She occupied a wall by herself, which was worthy of her identity as a Heaven’s Favorite. She was in a large font, and her hands and feet were locked by iron handcuffs, fixed to the wall. She was wearing a dress, and some parts of the stockings on her jade-like legs were broken, revealing her snow-white skin. It was the most fatal thing to be able to vaguely see, and it also brought great temptation.

Although he was still alive, he was tortured very badly. His clothes were torn, and he could still see the red undergarment inside. There were two mandarin ducks embroidered on it, and they were mischievously playing in the water. His cultivation was sealed, and he had already “fainted”.

In the hall.

A group of black-clothed men with their faces covered, only revealing their eyes, guarded the surroundings.

Although the ” scenery ” in front of him was good, he did not dare to take a look.

The two black-robed men looked at the unconscious Xu Xirou with their hands behind their backs.

The man on the left was called Gu Ranjie. He had a strong aura and every move he made carried the aura of a superior, like a leader. The man on the right was called Xu Ping. He said,” This woman has a firm stand and a strong will. She has not submitted since she was captured and tortured until now. She wants to avoid any future troubles…”

He paused for a moment, made a throat-cutting gesture, and said ruthlessly.

“Should I kill her?”

Gu Ranjie shook his head. To climb to this height with a humble background, if your heart is not firm, you will have long given up on yourself.”

“With such a huge commotion, Changqing Academy has already gone crazy. If we delay any longer, if they investigate this place, I’m afraid…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Gu Ranjie understood.

He pondered for a while and considered the gains and losses.

If he could make Xu Xirou submit to him, there would be great benefits. If he could control her, he would be able to obtain many secret skills and divine powers of Changqing Academy, and even the sacred power of the academy-Five Elements Illusionary Spirit Technique and the subsequent sacred power, the Great Five Elements Free Incarnation. Then, he could let her go and continue to steal secret skills, divine powers, and even important secrets. The benefits would be immeasurable.

Moreover…

She was already extraordinary. When she grew up, she would be able to climb to the upper echelons of Changqing Academy, and the benefits would be even greater!

It would be a pity to kill him just like that.

Thinking of this, Gu Ranjie made a decision.

” I’ll torture you for another day. If you still don’t submit, I’ll kill you!”

Although Xu Ping wanted to kill her now, his teacher had already spoken, so he could only do as he was told.

” Elder Meng just sent me a message,” Gu Ranjie said.” He wants me to go over. I’ll leave this to you!” Remember, don’t make any mistakes. If anything happens, get rid of it immediately! If we can’t get it, no one else can.”

“I will remember this.”

“First extract the Righteousness Qi, then destroy their corpses. Make it clean.”

After giving his instructions.

Gu Ranjie didn’t stay any longer. He tapped the ground and appeared at the door of the hall. The array that was originally set up here had been damaged. After they came here, they set up a new Qi Concealing Array to seal the place. When the array was in operation, it could stop the water from entering even if the door was opened.

He opened the door and rushed out. A man in black closed the door and continued to guard it.

Xu Ping took out the Spirit-Devouring Millstone from his Sumeru Bag. It was a purple-gold spiritual treasure. The tip was long and thin, like a needle. However, it was hollow inside and round at the back. It was the size of an adult’s palm and was engraved with complicated patterns. Purple-gold light flowed. The effect was very simple and practical. It could be inserted into the body of a person with Righteousness Qi, and then the internal strength (vital essence) could be poured into it to devour Righteousness Qi.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and his face turned ferocious. He smiled evilly and walked to a corpse. He inserted the tip of the Spirit Devouring Millstone into it roughly and transferred his Zhen Yuan into it.

Weng!

The Spirit Devouring Millstone shook violently and released a powerful suction force. Purple-gold spiritual light rushed out and enveloped the corpse. It forcefully devoured the remaining Righteousness Qi in the body and stored it in the millstone.

Seeing this.

Xu Ping’s smile became even more unbridled and evil.

On the wall.

The unconscious Xu Xirou still had her eyes closed, but her mind was fully open. She could sense the reactions of the outside world.

As Heaven’s Favorites, although their brilliance was overshadowed by Yang Hongling and Ji Xueyan, it didn’t mean that they weren’t strong. It could only be said that they were born with a strong background and had endless resources. However, compared to others, they were true Heaven’s Favorites, existences that could be touched but not touched.

The man in black’s position and Xu Ping’s movements could not escape her attention. She was relieved when she found out that Gu Ranjie, who she was afraid of, was not around.

If he was here, with the other party’s cultivation, even if she cultivated desperately during this period of time to increase her cultivation, she would only be at the second level of the Heaven Tier. She was not a match for him at all! In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots were like floating clouds.

There was only Xu Ping. Although he was two levels taller than her and had been tortured until now, every movement of his body was painful as if he was cut by a knife. However, she was Xu Xirou. No matter what kind of predicament she faced, she would never admit defeat. She did not take it to heart.
