Chapter 579: Chapter 431: Awakening of the King of Witch Gu

The ripples grew larger and larger, and the contained inner strength became more and more overwhelming!

”Plop!”

Borjigin Nian, closest to Gu Changsheng, lost her balance and fell into the water with a splash.

”Gu Changsheng!” She scrambled from the water in panic, looking at the drifting Gu Changsheng, who was far away from her, desperately trying to get closer but repeatedly pushed back by the force of the ripples, barely able to stand.

”Amitabha, the King of Witch Gu is about to awaken...” Little Monk Bu Jie, dragging Tan Nv, stood behind Borjigin Nian, staring at the drifting red on the surface of the lake, mumbling absent-mindedly.

”What did you say? What king?” Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately turned around.

Little Monk Bu Jie slowly shook his head, not saying a word.

Not far behind them, Yue Xilou’s inner strength continuously expanded, the surging, tumultuous power repelling the pursuing forces group by group...

Gu Changsheng felt that her burning body suddenly wasn’t so painful anymore!

The thing that swam inside her, bringing waves of heart-wrenching burns, also seemed less boiling...

It was as if she had returned into her mother’s embrace, fluctuating up and down, submerged in a blend of warmth and coolness...

The red mark on her forehead slowly concentrated from the size of a fingernail, gradually solidifying into a vertical, rounded blood-red mark...

Gu Changsheng felt the thing that had been swimming inside her body start to slowly move upward, passing through her meridians, her chest, her neck...

Till it stopped at her forehead, bringing a cool sensation to her body...

”Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng! Gu Changsheng...”

A distressed shout came from a distance, Borjigin Nian’s voice; she heard it, but couldn’t manage to open her eyes!

Because the cool sensation on her forehead felt endless, enveloping her body...

”Yue Xilou! Yue Xilou, stop!”

”People of the Three Kingdoms, listen, if you take one more step closer, I, Borjigin Nian, shall commit suicide right here. Believe me, my Father King will definitely seek vengeance. Then, each one of you, no one can escape! My Father King will make your lives miserable!”

”Yue Xilou! Stop it! If you continue like this, you will succumb to demonic possession!”

Borjigin Nian’s tear-filled yelling came through, sending chills through Gu Changsheng’s heart!

Yue Xilou!

The Flower Peacock of her home!

She did not hesitate to activate her source of inner strength, not caring about succumbing to demonic possession, just to ensure Si Xi and Dong Lei were sent out!

Now, was the Flower Peacock going to succumb to demonic possession for her sake too?

No!

No!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but roar from the depths of her heart!

It couldn’t be like this!

No one should die for her!

She wasn’t worth it! She was but a ghost, merely lucky to have passed into this place after death, how could she let others die for her!

These people! They were the ones she cared about the most!

Yue Xilou, risking demonic possession for her!

Borjigin Nian, willing to threaten suicide for her!

What had she done to deserve such treatment from them!

”I need to get up! Let me get up! Let me kill them all! Kill all those who forced and bullied me! Let me up!”

Ripples of water spread out from around Gu Changsheng as she fiercely roared in her heart, though she herself didn’t know to whom she was shouting!

But she just knew, there was something alive, shackling her body, making her immobile!

She desperately tried to escape the shackles, but it was in vain. She could only scream repeatedly in her heart!

”I need to go kill them, to save Flower Peacock and Nian, let me up! You let me up!”

Tears flowed from Gu Changsheng’s tightly closed eyes!

She seldom cried, but at that moment, this feeling of utter helplessness almost drove her to despair!

”My son, my family, my friends! They are my life! Let me up, I beg you!”

”Let me up, even if it’s to die, let me die with them! Don’t let me die after them! I beg you, please!”

Tears spilled, quickly mingling with the Hengtang Water...

Gu Changsheng screamed over and over again in her heart, truly frightened!

She was afraid, afraid the people around her would leave her!

And never come back to life!

”You... are you... are you talking to me?”

The voice of a child rang out in Gu Changsheng’s chaotic mind, carrying a mix of timidity, tentativeness, and disbelief...

Gu Changsheng was immediately startled, her whole heart contracted into a knot.

”You! Who are you?” Gu Changsheng tremblingly asked from within.

Silence!

Sudden utter silence!

Only the nearby sounds of shouting and killing clearly entered her ears!

And Borjigin Nian’s desperate shouting at Yue Xilou...

Time was life. Gu Changsheng, sweating profusely, screamed again in her heart, ”Who are you? Are you the one restraining me? Let me up!”

After a while, that soft voice rose again, ”You... you can actually feel my presence... that’s really magical...”

”Who are you? Who are you really? Let me go!” Gu Changsheng urgently shouted again.

”I... I don’t know who I am, I was just born...”

”Is it you who imprisoned me? Let me out!”

”Imprisoned? What does that mean?”

On hearing this, Gu Changsheng vomited blood from the surge of blood Qi, but now she had nothing to explain this!

”You! Can you let me move freely?”

”Yes!”

Gu Changsheng was overjoyed on hearing this, her heart trembling with excitement.

”But... I was just born, and I haven’t fully woken up yet...”

”You!” Gu Changsheng, on hearing this, suddenly felt choked in the chest, took a few deep breaths to calm her mind, and anxiously spoke, ”You keep sleeping your big sleep, but wake me up first! I need to save my friends! Hurry up!”

”But I’ve just found a nest, I want to sleep deeply...”

”No! Release me, then you can sleep! Listen to me, I’ll find you some tasty food!”

”Really?”

”Really!”

”I want your blood...”

”I would give you my life!”

”If you die, I will die too, how can that be!” A dissenting voice immediately echoed in her mind, ”Since you say so, I’ll treat it as you agreed, so I’m going to bite you now!”

Bite her?

Just as Gu Changsheng was about to ask, the next moment she felt a pain in her forehead...

It felt like a mosquito bite!

”So fragrant! So fragrant! I’m full now, I’ll help you, and then sleep again!”

Damn! So easy to please!

Just one bite, and she hadn’t even had time to feel the pain, and it was already full?

”As the King of Witch Gu, I beg the Witch God, Gu God, lend some Divine Power to me, your Feeder...”

Listening to the childish voice in her mind, Gu Changsheng’s face couldn’t help but darken!

Me... what kind of king, what exactly is this?

But, the next moment, Gu Changsheng felt her body became much lighter, her Inner Strength was like a boundless ocean, sweeping across her entire body!

”Boom!”

A loud noise, bringing up a water column several meters high, rolled toward the crowd in a standoff!

”Pu!” The Inner Strength driven by Yue Xilou was shaken, and he fell to one side, disbelievingly looking back...

”Cough!” Holding the dagger, Borjigin Nian almost really slit his own throat as he climbed out of the water, his eyes wide with shock looking towards the center of the water...

At this moment, the armies of the Three Kingdoms, as if struck by lightning, stared, their eyes nearly bursting, at the giant waves rising several meters high in the center of the lake, and the flash of bright red fluttering on the crest of the wave...

”Gu... Gu Changsheng...” Borjigin Nian muttered absentmindedly.

That... that person... is Gu Changsheng?

That woman, standing on the crest of the wave, her red dress billowing as if a goddess descending to the mortal world, is Gu Changsheng?

That woman, with a spot of cinnabar between her eyebrows, shining unearthly, is Gu Changsheng?

At this moment, Borjigin Nian somewhat couldn’t believe his own eyes!

Not just Borjigin Nian, everyone couldn’t believe their own eyes!

Several figures in bright yellow robes standing high up, hearing the disturbance and looking this way, were terrified out of their wits at a glance!

Waves several meters high, a human, a mere mortal body, how could she possibly stand on the crest of the wave?

”Her! Her!” Jin Linyuan’s face lost all color as he pointed at the red figure, panicked, ”Impossible! This can’t be! Didn’t she already lose her sanity to cultivation? Her Inner Strength depleted, how can she possibly wake up?”

”It’s said, those born in accordance with the heavenly fate are always watched over by the Heavenly God, she... indeed... she is the one...” Sima Changhao muttered to himself absentmindedly.

”The real Female Star of the Occupation Room!” Sima Liancheng spoke solemnly, his face grave, a hint of panic in his eyes, ”We, today, might perish here in Hengtang Land!”

”Damn it! Stop scaring people!” Hearing this, Borjigin Lvchi suddenly shouted in terrified anger.

Waves crashing against the shore, water splashing everywhere, the army of the Three Kingdoms, originally sharpening their knives for battle, were now frightened, their faces pale as they stood frozen.

”She’s awake! After all, she’s awake!” Little Monk Bu Jie, holding Tan Nv’s head in his arms, looked down at her, his knowledgeable eyes flashing with a touch of pity, ”Benefactor, your mission, after all, has been accomplished, as to whether you will eternally slumber or can awake again, it’s all up to fate now...”

”Ning Er! Ning Er, how are you? Hang in there! The master is awake! She will definitely be able to save you!” Kun Nu, holding Ning Er in his arms, now stained with blood, shouted anxiously!

”Mas... master...”

A trickle of fresh blood spilled from Ning Er’s mouth, she muttered absentmindedly, struggling to turn her head towards the red silhouette amidst the giant waves at the lake’s center, a relieving smile curling at the corners of her mouth...

”The master is fine! I die... die with my eyes closed...”

The next moment, the longsword in her hand slipped, dropping into the lake with a splash, her hand also drooping down...

”Ning Er!”

Kun Nu bellowed heart-wrenchingly, his voice echoing to the heavens!

”Ning Er!”

Above the crest of the wave, Gu Changsheng’s anxious voice called out...
