Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World - Chapter 124: A Good Show

The woman walked straight to the tomb familiarly.

Her divine thought was not strong, but this cave house was not big either. She could scan Ming He’s location easily.

She was very sure that there were two people in the tomb, and they must be Ming He and Qin Yi.

The master of this place had too high cultivation that made her unable to break open the tomb door before. She could only influence the corpse through the rat hole. Just this point alone, she was sure that the enchantment of this tomb was terrifying.

But the evil cultivator was selfish. She didn’t want to request help from her sect, otherwise the treasures here wouldn’t belong to her or she would be given the minimum rewards. She could only plan the moves herself to get it done slowly.

As a result, there was a fat mouse causing trouble, and then Ming He from the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace Ming showed up. Since she couldn’t defeat Ming He, she had a wicked plan, which was to wake up the ancient zombie prematurely, hoping to make both the ancient zombie and Ming He perish together.

Clearly, the plan worked out well. The ancient zombie was damaged, and Ming He was definitely anywhere better. This was a good opportunity to kill Ming He.

Regardless of whether she could obtain the treasures from the tomb, just the treasures of Ming He were enough. If she could refine the people of the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace into a zombie puppet, it was conceivable that her status in the sect would be improved by one rank.

That was the most important thing.

Originally, she didn’t have much expectations for the tomb treasures, but the words of the ancient zombie gave her some expectations. Judging from the vicious curse of the ancient zombie’s soul, it had a deep hatred for the man and woman. The solution to the enchantment mentioned was probably true.

Approaching the tomb, she was stunned a little.

A man’s lewd laughter came from inside, “Ming He, I thought you were hiding some trump card, but you are just too weak now. What a great chance! Not only I can get the treasures here, I can also get a taste of the fairy of the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace. Haha… hahaha…”

Ming He shouted angrily, “I really regret trusting you. You actually backstab companion just for a few burial objects!”

“Haha, if I didn’t backstab you, how would I know that you were just pretending to be fine?”

“Let go of me!”

The woman looked in through the broken door and clearly saw Ming He being pressed against the yin and yang fishes. The man named Qin Yi was on top of her, trying to kiss her. Ming He turned her head to avoid it.

It is absolutely impossible for Ming He to put up such an act, not to mention I sense very clear that Ming He definitely does not have spiritual force. Her injuries are also serious. She was really assaulted by her companion… The fairy of Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace actually ends up as such.

The woman couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Who’s there!” Qin Yi suddenly turned around.

Taking advantage of this distraction, Ming He kicked him away, then she rolled over, triggered some kind of mechanism, and fell into the secret passage below.

The secret passage door closed again. Qin Yi furiously pounced toward the woman outside the door and plunged with a sword.

Ming He’s sword.

The woman wanted to laugh even more.

She whistled, and a shadow suddenly flashed past her left and right and punched Qin Yi.

Qin Yi subconsciously tried to parry, but failed. The shadow went through his arms and hit his chest.

Qin Yi spurted blood and fell to the side, looking shocked, “Who are you? How can you have spiritual force?”

“This is not a spell, little brother.” The woman said with a smile, “This is my puppet, Shadow Puppet.”

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. This was a real shock, not acting. Shadow Puppet? Is that a thing? No wonder Ming He is so certain that she can’t fight. How could she fight the puppet while being injured?

The woman first sensed the whereabouts of Ming He. After finding that she couldn’t run far, she shifted her attention to the two boxes on the black and white eyes.

These should be the burial objects of the Radiant Yang Stage cultivator, obviously of great value.

Her eyes showed a hint of expectation. She stretched out her hand, and another shadow flashed past, delivering the two boxes to her hand.

She looked at the boxes and pondered for a moment, then she handed a box to Qin Yi with a smile, “Little brother, I give this box to you, okay?”

Qin Yi snorted, “You want me to test the enchantment? It’s pointless. If the enchantment kills me, it will still be closed. Since you got them, you can just take them back to the sect and slowly deactivate the enchantment. Why are you rushing so much?”

“You are indeed a little smart. No wonder Ming He almost fell into your hands.” The woman smiled, “But I have the code, don’t you want to try it?”

Qin Yi said with a change of his expression, “You want me to test the code for you?”

“You’re really smart.” The woman said with a smile, “Hey, let’s do this. If you are willing to try, I can let you enjoy Ming He after I catch her. How about that?”

Qin Yi hesitated, “What if you lie?”

“I just said you were smart, why do you become stupid now?” The woman said disdainfully, “Isn’t it enough for me to get the treasure and kill Ming He? What’s the loss to me to let you enjoy her?”

“Then… you better keep your word.” Qin Yi swallowed and took the box.

The woman sent a code to him with divine thought.

Qin Yi recited slowly. The woman carefully stepped away. Sure enough, the box was opened and he wasn’t attacked by the enchantment.

The woman was joyful. She took the box away from Qin Yi and couldn’t wait to recite the code.

The box was opened again, and divine light burst out.

“Shit, it’s a trap!” The woman really didn’t understand why.

She was already cautious enough. She even let Qin Yi test the code, but this made her fall deeper into the scheme – Qin Yi was immune to attack because he had the painting scroll on him, so how could she have guessed it?

Her reaction was extremely fast. She quickly threw the box away as soon as the light flashed. At the same time, the shadow flickered, and the Shadow Puppet had already swapped the position with her.

Shadow Substitution Art, the Shadow Puppet at the peak level of Piano Heart Stage was erased instantly under this enchantment attack.

Before the woman could recover from the shock, a mace whizzed over and hit her on the head without any mercy.

At the same time, the underground passage opened, and Ming He only stretched out one finger. The divine sword that was knocked off the ground shone and shrouded the woman with light.

The woman had no room to dodge anymore. Her body suddenly shrank, and her black clothes inflated like a balloon, wrapping her body inside.

“Boom!” The black clothes burst apart. There was a glimpse of a naked snow-white body, and the woman had escaped into the shadow.

Qin Yi raised his mace in astonishment, “Where is she?”

Ming He’s tired voice sounded, “She has dissolved in the shadow of leyline. She is probably outside the mountainside now. The Myriad Shinra uses all things. These people are the hardest to kill. Our current strength isn’t enough to stop her, but our goal is still achieved. She paid a huge price, and she will not be able to recover for a year or so.”

“Even a shadow cultivator is so difficult to kill. What’s wrong with this world?” Qin Yi said speechlessly, “My acting is in vain…”

Ming He looked at him with a half-smile, “Is it just acting? You seemed to be doing it for real just now?”

“What do you know? I was into the play!” Qin Yi jumped up as if he had been wronged, “By the way, your acting was really awful. She just didn’t expect you to put up such an act, so she was deceived. ”

Ming He said faintly, “I don’t understand. What’s your purpose in acting like this?”

“The key point of this play is ‘attacking companion for the treasure’. This can remind her of the treasure’s existence and attract her attention to the treasure. Otherwise, if her first thought is to kill you in the secret passage, it will be troublesome.” Qin Yi explained, “As for the rape scene, it is to make her think that you are already so tragic, so she doesn’t have to kill you first and take a look at the treasure first.”

Ming He pondered for a moment and finally agreed, “That’s true. Including the conversations with her through the crystal core before, you were drawing her attention to the treasure and her curiosity to unlock the enchantment. Otherwise, if she wants to kill us all, you and I can’t escape from death.”

Qin Yi coughed twice and stopped talking. Ming He was too injured to tell that the so-called conversations through the crystal core were spoken by Liu Su instead of me. Without the Cloud Riding Stage soul power, the ancient corpse would have been taken away, and the show later wouldn’t work as well.

In fact, the rape scene… of course could be omitted or it could be replaced by other ways to let the enemy guard down. The reason for this play… Well, there is no other reason. Anyway, this is the best!

TL: Of course that is because the best acting he could put up… No more enemy, what next?
