The Journey of Flower - Chapter 110

– Soul Suppressing Blood Stone
Overwhelmed by the weight, one of Dongfang’s leg was already knelt on the ground. Seeing this, Hua Qiangu’s heart became even more anxious. Disregard everything, she flew straight to him. Seven palms attacking her at the same time from all directions. She screamed angrily, and her whole body was surging with demon energy, causing those people bounced off.

She quickly flew to Donfang Yuqing’s side, helping him lift up the huge rock, but she didn’t expect that the more she exert her strength, the stone is getting heavier and sank down a little more. Seeing the situation is worse, Hua Qiangu was in great shocked, repeatedly strike with her palms. The neon light dancing in the air, wanted to the huge rock, but they were sucked into the stone.

Seeing the heavy stone is about to crush Dongfang to the ground, Hua Qiangu took out a thick wooden stakes from her hand and supported it, vainly attempt to pulled Dongfang out from the stone. Unexpectedly, that stone seemed to stick to him, and the wooden stakes could not withstand the weight and broke instantly.

Hua Qiangu could only relied on her both hands to lift the stone up, the greater the force, the heavier the stone. No matter how much energy she put in, she still unable to lift the stone. Instead, if she let go of her hands, Dongfang would completely smash to the ground.

Since there was no defense behind her, Hua Qiangu activated her enchantment, separated those seven people from each others. The lower lip were bites hard enough to bleed.The Seven Stars Lords are no longer attacking, and stood at the side quietly. The Destroyer of Armies Star Lord lightly moved his lips, as if he was sending sound transmission to someone. A moment later, seven people looked at each other and nodded, putting the dazzling star stone into the sleeve, and disappeared without a trace.

Oh no, Xiao Ye was taken away by them!

Hua Qiangu wanted to chase after them, but she could not loosen her grip. She closed her eyes and chanted. She wanted to use the magic spells, but did not expect that just after two steps, was forced back into her body by the array formations.

Dongfang Yuqing was pressed beneath a mountain-like rock, Hua Qiangu couldn’t see him, she could only asked him aloud: “Dongfang, are you okay?”

“I am fine, don’t worry about me. Hurry up to chase after them, otherwise it would be too late!”

Hua Qiangu did not dare to let go of her hands, she exhausted all her strength trying to hold it up. Only felt that a little unloading stone would crush him flat.

“Is there any way to remove this stone?”

Dongfang Yuqing laughed helplessly with two hands on his chest and said: “Your Shifu has come up with this method to trap me and me has dragged you in, it’s really….”

Hua Qiangu asked with concerned: “Is it pressing on you? Does it hurt?”

“It’s okay, I still can hold on to it.”

A steady stream of qi poured into her both hands. The stone seemed to have life in it, it stop increasing weight, but everytime when Hua Qiangu tried to use force it sank again. Seeing this, she was afraid and did not dare to mess around again. When Hua Qiangu stop using her qi, the stone is slightly lighter.

The two people, one of them was suppressed and the other dared not let go. It has been several days since they were stuck in the seven star array formations, and had tried all methods, but still could not move the stone. The sound transmission, the whistle, wanted to ask for reinforcements, but there were no use, it could not transmitted pass the array formations. The Five-stars Glory Day is coming soon, Hua Qiangu was like an ant on a hot pot being very anxious.

————————————————————-

The ground covered with snow became a vast expanse of whiteness stretching to infinity. Seemed as if a dreamland.

Bai Zihua looked at innocent child who was sleeping in a huge dazzling star stone in front of his eyes. His skin is crystal clear and brittle.

“Nan Wuye.” He called softly. The voice dissolved in the void, like a smoke. A gentle touch of the hand on the stone, the silver light flashed, and Nan Wuye slowly woke up from his sleep. He opened his bright eyes and looked at him in confusion, then beaming with smile and the voice was sounded like bell ringing in the wind:

“Hua Hua Shifu!”

There was a rare hint of warmth in Bai Zihua’s eyes: “Did you have good sleep?”

“En, I just had a dreamed. I dreamed that Hua sister made me delicious food.”

Bai Zihua raised his hand, and without obstruction at all passed through the dazzling star stone barrier. Reaching in front of Nan Wuye, and turned over his palm, there was actually peach blossom cake in his palm: “It was made by your Hua sister.”

Nan Wuye stretched out his two little fingers and carefully picked them up and feed them into his mouth. It was delightful sweet, he devoured the whole thing at once and still stared at Bai Zihua eagerly.

Bai Zihua was slightly stunned: “No more, only this one piece is left.” The rests were already eaten by him.

Nan Wuye puffed out his cheeks sucked his fingers reluctantly: “Is Hua Hua sister coming back?”

Bai Zihua nodded and stared at the string of Buddha beads on his little ankle: “But she can’t save you, and should not save you. Your time is up, are you afraid?”

Nan Wuye looked at him through the crystal wall and smiled broadly: “I am not afraid. Hua Hua sister said that death is not frightful at all. After coming out, there will be many people who want to catch me or kill me. It is not my fault, but those people are also not at wrong. She told me not to hate. If I have hatred in my heart, I’ll become the demon. I am not afraid of death, and I don’t bear hatred either. I just don’t want to be seperate from Huahua sister. Huahua Shifu, can I see sister one last time?”

Bai Zihua did not speak. He lightly touched the dazzling star stone, and Nan Wuye slowly fell asleep again.

Bai Zihua’s body turned into a cloud and slowly disappeared. When he appeared again, it came from Sheng Xiaomu’s silver flute, the smoke slowly came out.

“Tomorrow, you and senior brother are responsible for escorting Nan Wuye to Mt Kunlun.”

Sheng Xiaomu put the silver flute back into his Inner Storage (another space where people who practices Daoism collected its own treasure, ordinary people can’t steal it). He then stared at Bai Zihua with playful eyes: “You don’t go? Is it because you can’t bear to see Nan Wuye being torture? What if Hua Qiangu come to save the person? Her power is so great now, we may not be able to cope with her.”

“She won’t be able to go. She won’t give up on Dongfang Yuqing in order to save Nan Wuye.”

Sheng Xiaomu shook his head helplessly: “Why don’t you just talk to her directly? In the world of Creation, Nan Wuye despite being born of evil, he has not been contaminated yet. He was taught by Hua Qiangu to be pure and kind. There are three souls, seven spirits (three immortal souls and seven mortal forms in Daoism, contrasting the spiritual and carnal side of man). What you want to destroy is his demon god body, let the power of demon god becomes water without a source. Nan Wuye’s soul is extradited by you, and then go into reincarnation and reborn a new life. You should explain to Hua Qiangu, she would understand it and will not come to rescue the person.”

Bai Zihua shaked his head: “You don’t understand her. We are naturally have seen through life and death. Even if the body is perish, it’s not a big deal as long as the soul stays alive, only needs to go into reincarnation, and re-practicing everything from the scratch, the identity remains unchanged so there is no difference. However, as of now she is so deep in her obsession, how can you see through it? For her, death is death, and those people who have passed away, their memories will also disappear with them. Nan Wuye is both very important and unique to her. She can never give up easily.”

Sheng Xiaomu frowned, it is true that a simple soul is not destroyed and given a new chance to reborn. Can it change the fact that they kill a powerless child and not feeling wrong at all?

Suddenly, the door was pushed in, Mo Yan’s cold face emerged. He looked at Bai Zihua with uncertainty. Seeing his expression like this, Bai Zihua immediately understood: “No longer there?”

Mo Yan nodded: “Don’t talk about people, even the island is gone, as if they have disappeared out of thin air. I have searched everywhere but no trace at all.”

“It’s impossible for people to vanish out of thin air, there are so many people, they probably used Conceal Technique to hide themselves.” After Hua Qiangu returned from the salvage of wilderness, Bai Zihua naturally could predict that others are also come out together with her. Arranged for a long time, planning to capture them at one fell swoop, but did not expect they have escaped.

“There is no leader in their group, they can’t even protect themselves so they would not go to the Jade Lake of Mt Kunlun and creating trouble.”

“Still, we should not drop our guard. Only need one those guys to come out, that’s enough to make a world turned upside down. What’s more, with such numbers of them, it’s better than one hundred thousand of immortal troops. Dongfang Yuqing was not only able to know in advance that we would go to the island to capture them, but he he also knew our method, so there is no guarantee that he will not be deployed tomorrow. Although he is not there, it’s better to be more careful, not a tiny mistake is allowed. That demon is so difficult to deal with, the day he has not removed yet, certainly it would become a serious problem. I don’t understand junior sect brother, you have trapped him, why not just directly kill him? Are you still worried that that girl would hate you?

Bai Zihua slowly turned his body, and left without saying a word.

————————————————

Hua Qiangu and Dongfang Yuqing are still trapped under the stone. Although, they were in a critical moment, they’ve never been alone together like this for that long. Dongfang Yuqing felt a sense of blessing out of this misfortune. Giving him so much time to be with her before he dies.

There is nothing they can do, the only thing that is free is the the mouth, so they keep talking. Hua Qiangu has demon god power, but Dongfang Yuqing, after all just a mortal he can’t last long. Most of the weight of stone is carried by Hua Qiangu. After more than ten days, without eating or sleeping both of them were very exhausted. Hua Qiangu is worried about Xiaoye making her even more anxious.

“Is there really no other way?” Hua Qiangu wished she could bite at that stone with her teeth.

“This stone name is called Soul Suppressing Stone. It was created to suppress immortals, demons and ghosts souls. Not to mention now your Shifu added the spell on it, it is even more difficult to remove.”

Hua Qiangu felt like weeping but had no tears, Shifu wanted to trap her here, and wait until Xiao Ye is killed and come to get her afterward?

“Don’t worry, someone will come to save us.”

“But we have to way to ask for help. No one knows we are trapped here?”

“As long as someone sets the mind into it, naturally will find out.” Dongfang Yuqing’s voice sounded slightly tired, but still at ease and relax. It seemed that he was not worried at all.

“Who? Sha Jiejie?” It seemed that every time she encounters trouble, he always come to save her.

Suddenly, Dongfang Yuqing no longer speak, and his ears listened attentively. For awhile, the corner of his mouth cracked a smile.

“He’s here.”

Hua Qiangu looked around, but did not see anything. Suddenly she felt something different in the east. Sure enough, between the two stars, a person’s figure slowly appeared. With blue clothes fluttering, and his face is frightful to look at. Who could it be beside Zhu Ran?

“Zhu Ran!” Hua Qiangu called in excitement, how did he find it.

“Venerable God.” There was a slight smile on Zhu Ran’s face as he bowed down.

“Why are you here?”

“Tomorrow is the Five-Stars Glory Day. When this subordinate saw that Venerable God hasn’t returned yet, and I had looked for you everywhere, but unable to detect your scent. Later, Yun Yin told this subordinate that Venerable God and Yi Xiu Lord come to the Seven Stars Array. I figured out you may have trapped here, so thought of the way to come up.”

“What about other people? How are they?

“Heavenly court has sent a large army to suppress. Although we didn’t have a far-flung network, Yi Xiu Pavilion has early preparation, so currently everyone is safe and there was no frontal conflict. After a month of treatment, most of people magical power have returned to normal. Although there are some commotion, has senior Duo Langan there, no one dares to make trouble.”

“How is his leg?”

“Thanks to Venerable God, last time sent the herbal plaster mixed with your blood, he is now is completely fine. As of today in the whole six realms, I am afraid not many are his opponents.”

At the beginning, Hua Qiangu wanted to ask did Lanyu Lanfeng go to see him and did she say anything? Later on, she thought it over. It’s better to ask him directly when they meet.

“Everyone is ready, only waiting for the Vulnerable God returns. Once your order come down, they would immediately attack Mt Kunlun and Immortal’s troops.”

Hua Qiangu knitted her brows. Nan Wuye must saved, but as of now they are out of time, she could only go to Mt Kunlun to rescue him. However, if she takes the army their, it would clearly become the enemy with the Immortal Realm and declare the war with them.

She was at a loss for a moment: “Dongfang is pressed under the Suppressing Soul Stone. Let’s think of the way to help him come out first.”

Zhu Ran nodded and suddenly pulled out the knife and cut Hua Qiangu’s arm, but it off bounced off by her qi.

“Vulnerable God, let use your blood.”

Hua Qiangu was resigned to it. Even in need to use my blood, can you use other methods? No matter what, shouldn’t cut a person meat ah.

Zhu Tan took out a brush from his Inner Storage. Moisten it with the water in the Milky Way and mixed with Hua Qiangu’s blood, he began to brush it over the spell that written on top the Soul Suppressing Stone. The two sides seemed to merge with each other but also invading each other, as if countless blood worms are fighting. Soon all dried up into pieces, falling off the stone and turning into dust.

Without the spell, Hua Qiangu felt the Soul Suppressing Stone was a lot lighter, she gathered the demon power and exerted all her energy, finally lifted the Soul Suppressing Stone up. The stone like mountain hill is getting smaller and smaller in the air, eventually it becomes a common stone and falls into the Milky Way.

At this time, Dongfang Yuqing’s hands and feet was already stiff, Hua Qiangu slowly helped him to get up. Seeing his own face covered with dust, he couldn’t help but laughing.

“You are awesome. To one surprise, you can use the Forbidden Technique to solve Bai Zihua’s curse.”

Every time, the Forbidden Technique is applied, it must pay with the price of blood. Last time, Killing Demon Array was used the blood of thousands of people, and this time is used Hua Qiangu’s blood.

Zhu Ran only smile faintly and remained indifferent.

“You also have patience. Wandering in the Nine Heavens for so long, but you have to wait until the last minute to come save us.”

The smile on Zhu Ran’s face became deeper.

Listened to Dongfang, Hua Qiangu immediately understood, her whereabouts was actually has been monitored by Zhu Ran all along. He is unfathomable, especially have practiced Dark Side Technique and very good at it. Dongfang was sure that he would not allow her trapped in here and let the whole plan fall through. He would definitely find a way to save her. However, at the same time, he also wants Hua Qiangu to lead the troops to Mt Kunlun, and fight against the Immortal Realm for Nan Wuye. Therefore, he intentional dragged on until the last minute, and show up.

At this time, they really run out of time. It is absolutely impossible for her alone to rescue Xiao Ye from the hand of ten thousand of celestial troops. She can only go with the the people from the salvage of wilderness. Whether it is coercion, intimidation or war, how can she let Xiao Ye die of a false charge?

Zhu Ran knew she has no other choice, he lightly brushed his pen: “Venerable God, please stand still, I’ll help you to hide your breath. When get out will not be discovered by The Seven star arrays. Bai Zihua would think both of you still trapped in the Seven Star Array under the Soul Suppressing Stone. The Jade Pool has much less guards, and the immortals will not be too wary. Especially, Venerable God, much of your blood is in Bai Zihua’s body, even if he not comes out, he can still sense it. You must need to seal it tightly.”

Hua Qiangu nodded, took off the skin mask and let Zhu Ran wrote the spells on her forehead. After their breath were completely covered, Zhu Ran took out something from his Inner Storage.

“The Star Palace Plate?” Hua Qiangu and Dongfang Yuqing were shocked. This treasure has been lost for a long time.

“This is something that I accidentally obtained many years ago, but my power is not enough, I can’t control it. I also don’t know the method, I can only use it as a plaything, and now I can only enrust it with the Venerable God and Yi Xiu Lord.”

Hua Qiangu didn’t have to think about it. She took the Star Palace Plate, and followed Dongfang Yuqing guidance of chanting, stimulated the demon power to the the stars on the plate. The seven stars like-sun are also slowly changing positions. Shifting between the stars, and finally they have found the exit of the array.

After they left the Nine Heavens, the three went straight back to the island. At this moment, the island is surrounded by huge transparent bubbles, and the whole thing was floating in the clouds. It looks transparent from the outside and can’t see anything.

Dongfang Yuqing on one hand gathered all the people from the savage of wilderness who are on the island, like the battleship flew straight to Mount Kunlun. Meanwhile, he also deliberately send Zhu Ran away. He secretly asked Zhu Ran to take some people to Changliu to block Bai Zihua.

“Bai Zihua is not going to Jade Pool, but once he knows that something is going to happen, he will rush in. No matter what , you must stop him. Even just to stall his time, that is good enough. You knew Gu Tuo’s feeling towards him. As long as he doesn’t come, I’ll have the certainty of winning this war. If he comes, the situation may be completely out of control. If you really want to avenge Mo Yan, remember, you must not let Bai Zihua appeared at Mount Kunlun.
