The unique peaceful aura of the little monk still lingered in the void space.
It was the aura from the soul.
After the soul left, such a thing shouldn't have remained. Only when the soul was completely annihilated would this happen.
She had felt so comfortable just now that she had subconsciously closed her eyes and hadn't observed the little monk's state at all.
When all that merit and cultivation were transferred to her, the little monk should have also passed on all the power in his soul.
He would die.
He was already dead...
There were many people who were kind to Nian Nian in this world.
Although someone had instructed human traffickers to steal and abandon her right after she was born, the suffering she had endured in her life was probably just those few hours in the hands of the human traffickers.
After being picked up by her master, she was doted on by her master and senior brothers.
They would offer her all the good things they could think of.
After going down the mountain, although the second elder brother had been cold to her at first, he had later made up for it a hundredfold.
If she had really suffered before, she wouldn't have been so reluctant to forgive the second elder brother.
So Nian Nian had always been passively receiving all kinds of love and protection.
When the little monk had given her such a great gift just now, Nian Nian hadn't felt anything wrong and had subconsciously accepted it happily.
After all, she had a big hole in her abdomen. It wasn't that she had wanted what the little monk had offered, but since he had done it, there was already a cause - effect relationship.
But she never expected that the other party would be completely annihilated.
Someone had died to make up for her.
Forever disappeared from this world.
Nian Nian couldn't describe this feeling. She just felt extremely depressed and wanted to cry.
Even though her body was warm now, she didn't feel comfortable.
It didn't matter if it was cold again. She could endure it by gritting her teeth.
She didn't want anyone to die at all.
Nian Nian was extremely sad in the pitch - black void space.
Outside, those guarding her body finally showed a hint of a smile.
Just when the little monk had transferred all his merit to Nian Nian, they had noticed that the evil aura hidden in Nian Nian's wound was dissipating at a visible speed.
And the curse cast by Gu Heng had also loosened a little.
Although it would still be troublesome to break it, at least they weren't completely at a loss.
"Nian Nian can't leave here now. Gu Heng took Nian Nian's life and gave it to Wan Wan. She can't go too far away. We have to rescue Wan Wan first and take her with us."
Daoist Qing Yun looked up at the building. The Wan Wan he mentioned was his beloved wife.
"Master, does Mistress still have her wits? If we rescue her, can we control her?"
Shen Weixun was still quite sober - minded. He didn't rush up like his master to rescue his mistress's soul first.
Although his master was right.
Now Nian Nian's soul was connected to his mistress's. They couldn't be too far apart. But if they released his mistress's soul, a half - ghost king's soul body, they didn't have the ability to control her without hurting her.
Not to mention that there was also Gu Heng, eyeing them covetously.
"I can. I believe she will recognize me. If it really doesn't work, I'll use my life to exchange for Nian Nian's."
Daoist Qing Yun lowered his head and was silent for a while. When he raised his head again, his face showed a determined look.
He didn't hesitate and was about to rush into the building.
Gu Heng, sitting on one side, suddenly let out a soft laugh: "Haha, do you think I'm the only one watching such a big thing? Don't blame me for not warning you. There's a net of traps upstairs."
"Third, Big Brother, watch him."
Daoist Qing Yun didn't even give Gu Heng a look. After rescuing Nian Nian and his wife, Gu Heng would surely die.
He would never let such a scourge and enemy have the chance to show up in front of him in the future.
"No need, no need. I said I won't interfere, and I definitely won't move. You masters alone can't handle it. I advise you to go with him."
Gu Heng's inexplicably kind reminder made people even more suspicious.
Daoist Qing Yun was about to scold Shen Weixun, who was about to follow him, when he heard Shen Weixun whisper in his ear: "He definitely won't move. Don't forget, Master, whether he's lying or not. His goal is to make you suffer for a lifetime. If you die, his goal won't be achieved."
Shen Weixun was better at understanding people's hearts than his master.
Although Shen Weixun had been a bit of a slacker before, with a talent as high as his age but his Taoist skills far behind, he was still better than most people.
With his third disciple by his side, the chance of rescuing his wife greatly increased.
Daoist Qing Yun thought for a while and didn't stop him anymore.
But he was still worried about Gu Heng and told Mu Yanchen: "Then you stay here and keep an eye on him."
"We'll go with you. We'll also take care of Nian Nian's matter. There are two ghost messengers waiting outside. I'll let them come in and watch this guy later. Don't worry."
Black Impermanence also stepped forward. Anyway, they were the leaders of the ghost messengers. They didn't believe that there were so many traps waiting for them that they couldn't handle it.
When Black and White Impermanence also wanted to set off, Gu Heng finally showed a change in expression. He no longer had that unfathomable smile of controlling everything. His eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"It's not appropriate for you two to interfere in human affairs, right? There's no rule in the underworld to act bravely for a just cause. Whether I use evil spells or Taoist skills, it's all a personal grudge between me and them. You two ghost messengers, think twice before you act."
Gu Heng didn't show much respect to Black and White Impermanence. His words were full of threats.
Anyway, these two couldn't control him.
Whether before or after death.
Anyway, he wouldn't return to the underworld. He would just disappear immediately after death and have no next life. There was nothing to be afraid of.
But he was still a little afraid of the abilities of Black and White Impermanence.
After all, they had been ghost messengers for thousands of years and had worked together for so long. They had great teamwork. It was no problem for them to casually kill a ghost king.
If they also joined in, there would be more variables.
"We'll be responsible for what we do. You'll also have to pay the price for what you've done."
Black Impermanence showed a mysterious smile.
Even when he heard that there were other people from the Holy Cult inside, his expression became even more relaxed.
His reaction was really puzzling and made Gu Heng feel uneasy.
"It seems you don't know much about Nian Nian. Wait. Soon you'll also experience the feeling of being betrayed."
Leaving this sentence, Black and White Impermanence resolutely followed Daoist Qing Yun into the building.
Gu Heng jumped up and wanted to chase after them, but was firmly held down by Mu Yanchen.
This body of his couldn't even fight against a young and strong Mu Yanchen.
Even a teenage boy might be able to defeat him.
So he could only be held in place and couldn't move.
After struggling for a long time without being able to break free, Gu Heng gave up the idea of rushing in.
He shrank back to his original place and murmured to himself: "It's alright... It should be alright... right?"
