Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 207 The deadline is approaching

Liu Yunhuan came to Qingyuan Hall of Qingliu Sect and found Sect Master He.

The sect leader sat in meditation on the marble floor with his eyes closed. The entire hall was extremely silent. Any sound made would echo and be very harsh.

In front of Master He was a huge Yin Gathering Cauldron, inside which were two souls with painful expressions. If you looked closely, you could see that they were constantly wailing, but no sound could be heard.

Master He's face was covered with spots of death. There were a few gray whiskers left on his chin, and a large bald spot on his head. He didn't look like a living person.

"Miss Liu, why do you condescend to come to my Qingliu Sect?" A voice as old as a dead tree sounded, and Master He slowly opened his turbid eyes.

"I can't go back." Liu Yunhuan was reluctant to say it, but she really couldn't go back to the Xiaoyao Sword Sect.

She looked at Master He with a hint of disgust. When she thought about the fact that she would not be able to break through and that her life would end one day, she felt a chill in her heart when she saw Master He's expression as if he was reminding her of this.

Hearing Liu Yunhuan say this, Sect Leader He suddenly laughed, and slapped his thighs with his dry hands, as if he was going to break a skeleton apart: "Hahahahaha, so you were kicked out? Then you are the same as me, a Spirit Emperor with nowhere else to go, and finally fell into making a deal with evil spirits!"

"I still have a lot of time, so you should worry more about yourself. If there is no result, you will end up dying." Liu Yunhuan suppressed the disgust in her heart and forced herself not to look at Master He.

Sect Leader He lowered his tired eyes and suppressed the madness in his eyes. He looked at the two wronged souls in the cauldron like a madman and said weakly, "My life is gone, but my words cannot disappear."

“I don’t have the Tao anymore…”

"My Word Has Forsaken Me..."

Liu Yunhuan heard him say that, and for some reason, she felt a little sad. She looked away, and after a while of struggling, she finally rolled her eyes and said comfortingly, "Don't think too much about it. What about those methods of prolonging life in the past? Why don't you catch a few more living people to make pills to prolong your life?"

"I no longer have the Dao. My Dao has abandoned me." Sect Leader He kept repeating these words, "I killed those who once loved and respected me. My Dao heart has been tainted with a stain that can never be erased..."

"Can not go back……"

Seeing the old man acting crazy, Liu Yunhuan cursed inwardly, "He's hopeless," and walked straight to the furnace.

She looked inside intently and saw that the two wronged souls were being tortured by the evil energy all the time. If she looked a little longer, she seemed to be able to hear their heart-wrenching screams.

Liu Yunhuan couldn't bear it and looked away. Suddenly, Sect Leader He stood up and grabbed her hand, his eyes full of excitement and madness: "Did you hear that?"

"Did you hear them yelling?"

"They made a noise!"

"It worked. This kind of ghost with no obsession should have dissipated or reincarnated, but I didn't expect it to break through to the Soul Gathering Realm! Both of them have reached the Soul Gathering Realm!" (The first three realms of ghost cultivation are Soul Gathering, Soul Gathering, and Form Gathering. For details, see Chapter 195)

“My way has abandoned me, but I have found a new way!”

"Hahahahahahaha, I found a new way!"

Sect Leader He laughed crazily and started running around the hall, not afraid of breaking his withered body:

"Ghost cultivators, there is no limit to their lifespan!"

"Ghost cultivators are naturally not limited by their life span. What a wonderful gift!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"I am no longer afraid of death, death is embracing me! Death will give me new life!"

This monk, who is about to complete the last stage of his life, seems to be ready to start the next round of training.

Liu Yunhuan also listened to the screams of the two wronged souls below. She couldn't help but feel excited, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Becoming a ghost cultivator was the escape route she chose for herself. She was unwilling to accept this and be stuck in the Spirit Emperor realm forever.

If she really died, such obsession might allow her to remain in the world, and if she was lucky, she could try to embark on the path of ghost cultivation. However, not everyone has the talent and opportunity to become a ghost cultivator, so she did not dare to take the risk.

She was afraid that if she faced the likes of Li Heng and Chu Yu directly, she would end up with her soul torn to pieces.

The remaining wisp of soul, nurturing it to become a ghost cultivator, became the escape route she had been longing for. Originally, forcing an ordinary soul to become a ghost cultivator was just an idea. Now that Master He told her that it had succeeded, she was naturally happy.

The crazy old man, Sect Leader He, was worried that his obsession would not be able to support him in escaping the cycle of reincarnation, so he used two wronged souls who were about to be reincarnated as a test early on.

Facts have proved that if an ordinary soul is subjected to the impact of evil spirits for a long time, it can stimulate the soul's resentment and cause it to transform into a ghost and remain in the world.

At this time, Sect Leader He came to the cauldron in a crazy manner, waved his hands, and released the two wronged souls inside. Oh no, now they should be called ghost cultivators.

The two suffered a long period of torture. One of them became illusory and about to disintegrate, while the other was in a slightly better condition, but still transparent and illusory.

"Hahahahaha, Liu Qin, how does it feel to start practicing again from the beginning?"

Sect Leader He's eyes lit up as he asked the ghost cultivator who was in a particularly bad condition.

Liu Qin was originally at the spiritual realm. His life was forcibly taken away and he was tortured beyond recognition. At this moment, he could no longer speak.

"Bah, you useless thing! You were a cultivator in your lifetime, but now you are a ghost cultivator and your condition is not even half as good as your wife's!"

When Sect Leader He saw that the guy who was a spiritualist in his lifetime was not even as good as an ordinary person after his death, he felt very complicated and was not happy at all, so he started cursing.

While cursing, he ordered Liu Qin to get up.

Liu Qin's illusory figure lay on the ground, trembling slightly, but Madam Liu steadied her body and slowly raised her head. She only knew that she was dead, but before she died she was still worried about her daughter. She didn't know how her daughter was living after marrying the grandson of Elder Wan of Qingliu Sect. She hadn't seen her for a year.

"Hurry up, both of you, practice for me!" Sect Leader He was extremely crazy and had a very bad temper.

"Just like a real ghost cultivator, hurry up and practice for me to see!" He cursed and urged, looking impatient.

"Practice?" Madam Liu raised her head in confusion. Her husband was still lying on the ground, his body about to dissipate.

"Hurry up and practice!" After all, Sect Leader He had taught disciples before. His roar, which was from a Spirit Emperor after all, actually frightened Madam Liu so much that she was in a trance for a moment.

Sect Leader He started to roar like he was in a manic state: "Swallow each other, quickly swallow each other like a ghost cultivator! Don't force me!!! Only one of you can survive, whoever swallows the other will survive!!!"

Liu Yunhuan glanced at Sect Leader He. She felt that he was being too hasty. Seeing that Liu Qin's finally gathered form was about to be frightened away, she hurriedly stopped him: "It won't be too late to try again after they stabilize. Let them go back and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader He suddenly calmed down, raised his hand and waved it, and Liu Qin and his wife were taken back into the furnace to be tempered by the evil spirit.

"Okay, okay. My time is coming soon, so I'll just keep these two."

"Take good care of it. When it's fat, it will be my first meal when I become a ghost cultivator."

"Hey Hey……"

Not wanting to pay any more attention to this old lunatic, Liu Yunhuan had achieved her goal and was ready to wait for news from Chu Yu.

Before she was about to leave, Sect Leader He came out from somewhere and blocked her way.

"What are you going to do now?" Liu Yunhuan really didn't like this crazy old man.

Sect Leader He just stared wide-eyed and silently said, "My Dao has abandoned me. Black has stained my Dao heart, a black that can never be erased..."

"But if it weren't for that slander, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such a powerful force..."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and held Liu Yunhuan tighter, his eyeballs almost popping out of his head:

"My heart is stained with black. Black gave me great power, but it also turned me into this..."

Liu Yunhuan was frightened by his appearance. She had not even looked at him just now, but now she realized that Master He was in a very bad condition.

His teeth were visibly loose, his gums were rotten and filled with yellow pus, and a rotten smell kept coming out of his mouth. The smell came from inside his body. No one knew what happened to his internal organs, but they all seemed to have rotted away. His skin was covered with dead spots, his hair was falling out in clumps, his eyeballs were as yellow as a dead person's, his pupils could not focus, and kept bulging outwards.

You know, even if the Spirit Emperor died of old age, his body that had been soaked in mysterious energy for a long time would never emit such a rotten stench.

Sect Leader He seemed to no longer possess the physical strength that a Spirit Emperor should possess. His entire body was as rotten as a piece of dead wood soaked in stinky water.

The more Liu Yunhuan looked at it, the more frightened she became. She knew what the powerful force that Sect Leader He was talking about was. It was the same force that helped her escape from Li Heng's nose!

Is this the price of using that kind of power?

For some reason, Liu Yunhuan felt a fear radiating from the inside out.

"Don't use that power anymore, or you'll end up like me." Sect Leader He's tone suddenly became much more normal, as if his long-lost sanity had returned for a moment.

But it was only for a moment, and then he returned to the furnace cauldron in a frenzy, looking at the Liu Qin couple in the furnace cauldron and muttering to himself, repeating the same words:

"The deadline is approaching..."

"The deadline is approaching..."

But Sect Leader He couldn't feel it at all. On his way back, another piece of his hair fell off, as if he was deliberately showing it in front of Liu Yunhuan. This time, his scalp fell off as well, revealing the yellow and black part underneath, which was not sure whether it could be called flesh or blood.

Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Yunhuan ran out of the hall as if she was escaping for her life.
