Actually, this person wasn't looking at me but at a ghost standing in front of me.
These things were what Ma Liu called his "immortal servants." The "pool collectors" themselves would go to graves to summon ghosts as their "immortals" to worship. Moreover, they were extremely bold and specifically sought out cruel and powerful ghosts. The more ferocious, the better.
If they wanted their "immortal servants" to become top - level fierce ghosts, they would feed them "red food," which was something bloody like internal organs.
So the faces of his "immortal servants" were extremely hideous. Bleeding from the seven orifices, which was already terrifying, was just child's play compared to these fierce ghosts.
When I saw this fierce ghost floating in front of me just now, I almost fainted from fear. How much more so for ordinary people who caught a sudden glimpse of it?
I had just splashed a bottle of potion on the fierce ghost, so everyone in the shrine could see it now.
"This is the god you're supposed to kowtow to."
The moment the fierce ghost turned its head, the screams in the shrine were so ear - piercing that people who had come to invite the god rushed towards the door in a frenzy, and the scene got completely out of control.
Wei Shan had seen fierce ghosts before, so he wasn't that scared at this moment. He shouted, "Hurry up and run! This is the true face of the Five - Way God. What's the point of inviting such a god home? Do you want to lose your life?"
Ma Liu's disciple was still trying hard to persuade them, but no one would listen. When it came to choosing between money and life, of course, everyone chose life.
In no time, everyone in the shrine except Ma Liu's people had run away.
This made Ma Liu so angry. The big clients he had just gotten were driven away by me again.
"Third Master, I've given you enough face. The Five - Way God Temple was destroyed, and I didn't even ask you for an explanation. But you actually come to my door."
"Ma Liu, you're really good at playing the victim. Who on earth set me up? If Huai Ji hadn't led me to that cave and revealed his whereabouts, it would have been really hard for us to find the cave."
"So it's all Huai Ji's fault for being so stupid." As soon as I finished speaking, Ma Liu couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.
He waved his hand and sent a red projectile flying straight towards my face.
"Watch out!"
Gu Yuan pulled my arm and clamped his two fingers in front of me tightly. The weapon was firmly stuck between his two fingers.
Before Ma Liu could react, Gu Yuan flipped his hand and sent the weapon flying back.
Ma Liu instinctively raised the compass in his hand to block it, but there was no way he could stop it. The projectile had amazing penetrating power. It went through the compass and then pierced through his left shoulder.
The weapon went through his body and was embedded in the opposite wall.
Ma Liu howled in pain and ordered his disciples to release the fierce ghosts he had raised for many years.
The fierce ghosts were released from the jars. They had thought they could show their might, but when they saw Gu Yuan, they all cowered and obediently retreated, not daring to make a move.
Ma Liu didn't expect Gu Yuan's ability to be so great that he could subdue the fierce ghosts with just one look.
"Who... who are you? You're definitely not just an ordinary shaman. Who on earth are you?"
He took a step back, and Gu Yuan looked down at him from above.
One look from his cold eyes would make one's spine tingle.
Seeing that his "immortal servants" were so useless, Ma Liu had to seek external help. He raised the whip in his hand and shouted, "God come!"
At his call, a fierce gale blew through the room. Everything movable in the room was blown away.
Even Ma Liu's disciples were blown out of the window.
If I hadn't been holding onto Gu Yuan's arm, I'm afraid I would have been blown away by the gale.
"Great Immortal, come and save me!" Ma Liu shouted, hugging a pillar with one hand, calling for his "immortal servants" to appear.
As the gale swept through the room, I squinted and looked down at the ground.
To my surprise, I saw that blue bead. Even such a strong wind couldn't blow it away. The bead rolled on the ground, and I watched it roll past me.
"Gu Yuan, I've found that bead."
I let go of one hand and was just about to pick up the bead when suddenly a white - robed man appeared in front of me. He was smiling at me.
"Little lady, long time no see."
When Gu Yuan saw Long Lin, there was a fierce glint in his cold eyes. He waved his long arm forcefully, and the strong gale suddenly stopped. He didn't even take Long Lin seriously.
Seeing Long Lin, I tugged at Gu Yuan's hand and asked, "Long Lin, is it you that Ma Liu invited as the upper - level immortal?"
Long Lin looked confused and didn't know what I was talking about.
Just as Long Lin landed, another white light flashed and landed.
Before I could see his face clearly, he had already taken out his whisk and attacked Long Lin.
Seeing the appearance of an upper - level immortal, Gu Yuan called out "Full Moon." The curved blade flew out and headed straight for the upper - level immortal.
Then a black light flashed in the air. Huai Ji, not wanting to be left out, also joined the chaotic battle.
Wei Shan and I stood on one side, watching them fight chaotically.
When gods fight, it's really different. It seemed that this luxurious small villa was about to fall apart.
There were already countless big holes in the ceiling, and dust and tiles were falling like sieved ash.
Gu Yuan shouted, "Lan Lan, go outside and wait."
"Okay." At his order, I told Wei Shan to follow me and ran outside.
Just as I ran out and turned to look inside, the house had completely collapsed.
Four lights of different colors shot straight into the sky. The sky was like a firework display, and the rumbling sound echoed through the sky.
"Gu Yuan, you've ruined my plans again and again. Today I will surely destroy you." The one who spoke was Huai Ji. With helpers by his side, he was definitely not going to back down.
I was extremely worried. At this time, Long Lin was the first to emerge from the mist.
He was covered in dust. He shook the dust off his head in front of me, and I frowned and took two steps back.
There was a smile on his lips. He stepped forward, took one of my hands, and placed the blue bead that I had just wanted to pick up in my palm.
"You were looking for this, weren't you?"
I stared at the spotless blue bead in surprise and asked, "You came just for this?"
"As long as it's something you like, I'll get it for you."
"Gu Yuan is fighting two people alone. You..."
Before I could finish my sentence, what I actually wanted to say was why did you come out? Shouldn't he be inside punishing the evil and promoting the good?
Long Lin interrupted me first and said, "I can give you anything you want, but Gu Yuan is out of the question."
He seemed to have misunderstood my meaning.
"Thank you. I believe he can handle it alone."
Long Lin wanted to step forward and pull me, but I took two steps back to avoid him.
The star - like light in his eyes dimmed.
"I have important things to do today. I'll come to see you another day." After saying that, he turned into a golden light and disappeared into the air.
Wei Shan, standing beside me, was completely stunned.
"Little girl, who on earth are you? So many gods are vying for you. You can't be the dragon - spit pearl, can you?"
"She's much more precious than the dragon - spit pearl. My master has been eyeing her for a long time. Since your head shaman is busy right now, little girl, come with us."
