"Ye Teng is missing." Miss Lin was not panicked. She looked at him solemnly and asked, "Won't you give me an explanation?"
Wei Buqi ignored her words and suddenly took out a formation plate made of white jade.
He also had only a vague understanding of the current situation. There was no such scene in "The Record of the Goddess". The protagonist Ye Teng got the golden finger in an instant.
As a player at that time, he only saw the character he controlled drunk in the back mountain of Taining Earl's Mansion. The screen went black, and then that existence appeared. The situation at this moment was obviously not that simple.
"open!"
Wei Buqi opened his hands, with the white jade array plate suspended in his palms, and a dazzling light burst out.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Lin Zhuoyue only felt that the mountain under her feet was shaking. She looked at the white jade plate in Wei Ze's hand with surprise. Just when she thought something was about to be activated, the light between his fingers suddenly dimmed, as if suppressed by an unknown existence.
"Mrs. Lin, if you don't want your husband to die, please lend me a hand."
Miss Lin saw the villain smiling calmly at her again.
She frowned for a moment, and to be honest, she didn't necessarily care much about Ye Teng's life or death.
It's like when she sees a stray dog on the road, she can't bear to see it die, but if it really dies, she won't feel anything. However, if she has a chance to save a life, she is always willing to lend a helping hand.
"I want to see what you are up to."
Lin Zhuoyue said in a low voice, waving her hand and sending a spell to revive the formation at the formation plate in Wei Buqi's hand. She didn't believe what he said, but she knew that his goal tonight was not to kill Ye Teng, let alone to harm her. His plot might be related to the gray fog in front of him.
"Madam is indeed very smart."
The smile on his face became even wider, and with the combined efforts of the two, the white jade plate that he was holding in his hands once again released a brilliant divine light.
"This is... you actually set up a large array to search for gods and capture souls in the Ye Mansion?"
Lin Zhuoyue's expression changed as he saw seven hazy chains rising from the ground and rushing towards the depths of the forest with a life-threatening force.
"Got you!"
The white jade array above Wei Buqi's head suddenly turned into a flying sword and flew away. Lin Zhuoyue was horrified by his ghostly movements, and before she could think too much, she also flew out like a flaming arrow, rolling up a heat wave.
He flew in the direction indicated by the soul chain, and in just a moment he passed through the dense forest and reached the top of the mountain.
An unimaginable scene appeared in his eyes.
"His ha——"
A hissing sound was heard, and Wei Buqi saw the ordinary-looking young man in the gray fog, who was Ye Teng.
He seemed to be controlled by an unknown creature at this moment. His eyes were wide open with a hideous look, and there was only a pale color in his eye sockets. There was another being in front of him.
The one confronting him was a terrifying creature covered with fur all over its body. It had soft, shiny gray fur, a pair of sky-blue vertical pupils that glowed with cold light, a bulging head, and the whiskers on both sides of its cheeks that looked soft yet sharp. It was seen on all fours, with its graceful and strong waist arched, looking ready to go.
"cat?"
Lin Zhuoyue, who came rushing over, asked the question. She also noticed that Ye Teng looked like a ghost and was surprised.
"What's up with him."
Wei Buqi stared at the gray cat with sharp eyes, and there was a rare hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Don't you want to know why I'm here? Do you remember our wedding night? When I asked Ye Teng to leave the bridal chamber, I found a 'Tribulation Gu' on him. This is a strange Gu that has the power to bring the dead back to life. A great master who has lost his body can rely on this Gu to live a second life. I came here to save him."
Wei Buqi described Ye Teng as a victim targeted by an unknown strongman, and he was a knight who drew his sword to help. In fact, he was a predator! The gray cat in front of him was Ye Zhuixu's chance, but now it was his.
What he wanted was not the soul of a powerful person, but more importantly the thing on it, which was a unique treasure.
He is determined.
From now on, the daytime updates will be moved to 5pm, and the midnight updates will remain unchanged.
Chapter 16 Exchanging tokens?
"I'll take what you said as the truth..."
Lin Zhuoyue narrowed her beautiful eyes, she looked at Ye Teng with a distorted face in front of her, and then looked at the gray creature that looked like a cat. If their Lin family's son-in-law was really possessed by this strange creature in front of her and hid in the Lin Mansion, she would be unable to sleep or eat.
"You go to the back."
Wei Buqi held the white jade formation plate in his hand and looked at the gray fog that was blowing up not far away. A lot of problems had happened today, and he would not allow any more accidents to happen.
"hiss!"
The gray creature turned around and bared its teeth at him, obviously anxious, then turned around and jumped towards Ye Teng, who was covered in lightning.
'Is he controlled by the master's calamity-transcending Gu?'
He did not rush to attack, but looked thoughtfully at Ye Teng who was driving thunder and lightning to fight against the gray fog. His eyes were white and he had obviously lost his mind.
In the setting of "The Record of the Goddess", Ye Zuixu's deceased biological mother had a close relationship with the Gu Temple, one of the seven sacred places. His Tribulation Gu was the treasure left to him by his mother. This Gu, which was closely related to his life and death, could not be taken away by others.
The current situation is actually not complicated. The cat in front of him is the residual soul of a great master who lost his physical body. He wants to be reborn by devouring the poison in the protagonist Ye's body. This directly leads to the proliferation of poisonous insects, which manipulate the host to fight against the uninvited guests.
"This battle will end with the defeat of the Tribulation Gu. When it shows signs of defeat, it won't be too late for me to take action..."
Wei Buqi sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers leisurely, but things did not develop in the direction he knew.
"what!"
Ye Teng, who was out of control, roared angrily, the surging thunder struggled in his hands, and then pounced on the gray fog creature! It was directly knocked away, without any ability to fight back.
"Want to escape?"
The Second Young Master Wei raised the formation plate in his hand without hesitation and faced the gray cat that was knocked away. He knew the plot of the original work very well, so how could he not know the thoughts of the remnant soul? It was impossible for it to be defeated by a Gu. Seeing that he was here and that things were hopeless, it intended to pretend to be defeated and then escape.
The white jade plate in his hand burst into a blazing divine light, and seven soul chains broke through the gray fog and swept towards it!
A shrill cry exploded——
"Roar!"
The gray creature was trapped by the attacking chains. It opened its sky-blue eyes and looked at Wei Buqi, then its entire body exploded into a ball of mist and disappeared without a trace.
"You can't go!"
He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Zhuoyue, and the soul chain shot over with the sound of golden swords.
Miss Lin became aware of the gray fog surging around her. Her red eyes became blazing, and the sudden blazing flames drove away the darkness. She was sacred and inviolable in the firelight.
The gray cat showed up in a desperate state, unable to withstand the chains that covered the sky and the ground. The chains trapped it like a fishing net. It showed enough patience like a real cat, and nimbly avoided the soul chains that swept at it from time to time in the rapidly shrinking chain net. After a moment, it finally seized a chance to escape.
"Hah!"
The gray fog creature leaped forward, found a gap in the dense chains and rushed out, then without hesitation turned into a puff of gray smoke and disappeared with the wind.
"Don't let it run away..."
Lin Zhuoyue looked at Wei Buqi with a serious expression. She didn't want that strange being to wander around Li'an Mansion. Before she finished speaking, he threw the white jade array plate in his hand to where the gray cat disappeared.
"Mr. Yang!"
Wei Buqi shouted loudly, and a handsome middle-aged man in black tights appeared in the air. He stretched out his hand to grasp the flying formation plate, and seals flew in his hand.
Seven misty soul chains rose from the ground and instantly entangled into an iron ball, followed by a whimpering sound.
It was locked in the sphere.
'Did he deliberately leave a loophole to lure it into a trap?'
Lin Zhuoyue's expression changed and he turned to look at Wei Buqi beside him. The corner of his lips just curled up in a gentle smile.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Yang Shaocheng landed in front of him. He looked at Wei Buqi with a hint of amazement, as if he met him for the first time.
He originally thought that his young master was just fooling around, but unexpectedly he really gained something from this trip. In his prime, the gray cat must have been a great master who could break through the seventh level of heaven.
What surprised him even more was the performance of the Second Young Master Wei tonight. Although he was manipulating the formation to fight the enemy, the aura revealed in his every move was not like that of a low-level practitioner at all.
"It can't get away, can it?"
Wei Buqi looked at the iron ball hanging in the air.
"You can't escape even if you have wings."
Yang Shaocheng waved his hand, and the hammer kept shrinking as it fell, and finally fell into Wei Buqi's hands like an egg.
"it is good."
He smiled and put away the ball containing the gray fog creature.
"What kind of being is it?"
Lin Zhuoyue walked up and glanced at Yang Shaocheng covertly. The presence of a great enemy cultivator made her feel more pressured.
"Didn't you see it?" Wei Buqi said casually, "It's a cat."
She pursed her rosy lips and stopped asking questions. After all, she couldn't expect her enemy to reveal any secrets to her.
"correct."
Wei Buqi suddenly looked at her beautiful face and asked.
"There's one more thing you wanted to tell me."
Lin Zhuoyue let out a light breath, no longer worrying about the gray cat, and lowered her eyes to look at his left hand.
"Give it back to me."
He tilted his head in confusion.
"Why can't I understand what the lady is saying?"
Miss Lin scolded in a low voice with a cold expression.
"When will you return my jade ring and bellyband to me?"
Wei Buqi suddenly realized. He raised his left hand and saw an exquisite jade ring on his little finger. This was the trophy he got from Lin Zhuoyue on their wedding night. In addition, he also took away one of her bellybands.
"Let's not talk about the bellyband for now. What special meaning does this ring have for you?"
He played with the jade ring on his hand with great interest.
"This is my mother's legacy."
Lin Zhuoyue frowned.
"It's my fault."
