Chapter 425 The World of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio
After Gu Yuchuan emerged from seclusion, he briefly checked on the situation at home and found that everyone was cultivating and doing things, and nothing had happened. So he decided to head directly to that advanced small world.
Once this matter is completed, there will be no more debt to Heaven. Otherwise, it will always feel uncomfortable to owe Heaven something for so long. If the debt is owed for too long, Heaven may not be able to help but have some concerns. These are all things that need to be taken into consideration.
As soon as he entered this world, the scene before him changed. The spiritual energy in this world was quite abundant, making it a qualified high-level small world. However, it was filled with demonic energy, abundant ghost energy, and too much turbid earth energy.
Gu Yuchuan immediately realized that this was a world dominated by demons, where humans could only barely survive. This was quite rare, since humans were the masters of destiny, and most worlds were dominated by them.
He wasn't in a hurry to do anything. The best way to take over a small world was to kill all the high-level cultivators. This was a long process that needed to be done little by little, so he wasn't in a rush.
He flew through the air, heading forward. He could sense a dense aura of demonic energy ahead, indicating that a powerful demon was present there.
He's probably at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. In a high-level small world, that's considered quite advanced, a high-level expert. Killing him should allow us to learn about this world.
However, as he slowly approached, his expression turned grim. He saw three large characters: Lanruo Temple.
A question mark immediately arose in his mind. Lanruo Temple, was this the same Lanruo Temple he knew? Was it the one from "A Chinese Ghost Story"? He didn't know, but he still decided to go and see, after all, a cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage posed no threat to him.
Even if it really were the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, he wouldn't find it strange. After all, he had already seen the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, so one more world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio wouldn't make much difference.
As soon as he landed, he felt the aura of death. There were so many dead souls here; it was truly a sin. Although he was a demon, the dragon race now followed the righteous path and would not commit such slaughter, as it would be detrimental to his cultivation.
He felt that his operation should go smoothly because he sensed the lament of the Heavenly Dao, which did not want the world to become a paradise for demons.
It seems that this world, at least in the past, was a righteous world. I don't know what happened to make it like this, and he doesn't intend to find out what happened. All he wants to do is endless slaughter.
He pushed open the gate of Lanruo Temple. Although the temple was dilapidated, it still had a certain vitality, and he could faintly smell the sandalwood incense.
Gu Yuchuan had no prejudice against Buddhism. After all, the Eight Heavenly Dragons was a good place for dragons, and could be considered a partner of the dragons.
He slowly walked inside. A sweet, charming voice rang out.
"Why is young master here alone in the middle of the night? Are you a scholar passing by?"
The woman in front of him was dressed in green and looked stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were captivating and seemed to exude endless charm. However, in Gu Yuchuan's eyes, she was just a pretty skeleton, a hideous ghost, and had no beauty whatsoever.
Just as Gu Yuchuan was about to make a move, a woman in white ran out from behind.
Her face was dignified yet alluring; though she wore a gauze dress, you couldn't muster any sense of impropriety in her.
"Xiaoqing, how can you disturb the young master like this? We are just staying here temporarily, please don't do this. Young master, we sisters are currently staying at this temple, as you can see, it may not be convenient for you to stay here. You should go down the mountain."
Xiaoqing roared, "Nie Xiaoqian, you've tried to let people down the mountain multiple times while Grandma is in seclusion. I've listened to you twice already. But Grandma will be out of seclusion soon. If we don't see the soul, you might be favored and not die, but I definitely will."
It turns out that this woman is Nie Xiaoqian, the female protagonist of A Chinese Ghost Story. She is indeed stunningly beautiful, comparable to the Empress and Imperial Concubine in terms of looks. Most importantly, she can maintain her kindness in such a place, which is truly remarkable.
With a flick of her sleeve, Xiaoqian created a white veil that separated Gu Yuchuan and Xiaoqing.
"Young master, listen to my advice, leave quickly, or your life may be in danger."
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuchuan felt a warmth in his heart, but his eyes turned cold and he exuded an aura of power.
"Nie Xiaoqian, right? Your kindness saved your life, and you survived."
He didn't move anything, but his aura alone melted Xiao Qing. How could a Foundation Establishment stage ghost general have any ability to resist him?
Although Xiaoqian was not attacked, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Faced with this pure yang energy, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she kept backing away.
"Senior, I haven't done anything evil. It was all the Tree Demon Granny who threatened us. Our ashes were refined by the Tree Demon Granny using a secret method, and we couldn't disobey her in the slightest."
Before Gu Yuchuan could speak, a voice that was neither male nor female rang out.
"Xiaoqian, so this is what you think of your grandma? Ignorant cultivator, this Lanruo Temple is my territory, the territory of my tree demon grandma. Even those Taoist priests from Mount Shu can't do anything to me. You still dare to come here to die."
Gu Yuchuan's face revealed a mocking expression. As expected of a frog in a well, he couldn't discern the true level of cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
"Tree demon, is it? Now that you're here, prepare to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind arose. Of course, it wasn't Gu Yuchuan who made a move, but the tree demon that was angry. Countless vines in the forest began to boil, and even the mountain itself began to tremble. His voice also became louder.
"How dare you look down on your grandmother like this? I will definitely kill you."
After he finished speaking, several vines appeared in front of Gu Yuchuan. These vines were entirely black and had many barbs on them. They looked like they were full of ghostly and demonic energy. If an ordinary cultivator were tied up like this, he would be at the mercy of others.
However, this small injury was nothing more than a joke to Gu Yuchuan. Three streams of water appeared around him, transforming into three water dragons. In an instant, all the vines turned into ice sculptures.
Gu Yuchuan gently blew on it, and the vines all turned into powder.
The Tree Demon Granny's voice rang out again.
"No wonder you dared to act so fiercely here, Grandma. You're a Nascent Soul cultivator too. Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path are rare these days. Since you dared to come, then die here. Grandma has never killed a Nascent Soul cultivator before. Prepare to die."
Gu Yuchuan's gaze became more serious. After all, the other party was a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator. He could look down on him, but when facing him, he had to be truly serious. Even a lion hunting a rabbit had to go all out!
