Chapter 232 Widow
Its henchmen were quite ordinary, just demon cultivators with low cultivation levels.
Lu Xihan tried to capture the henchmen and find out its whereabouts, but the henchmen were very loyal and committed suicide every time they were asked about it.
No, to be precise, they self-destructed. It might not be because they were loyal, but because that thing had given them something that made them self-destruct whenever asked about it, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
This mysterious entity had never appeared in the book, which drove Lu Xihan crazy.
Being targeted by such a being is not a good thing, especially since she is now poisoned by it.
Heaven has never been fair to her. The saying "protected by the aura of heaven" is a joke. She can even foresee that her future will be rotten and stinking.
Lu Xihan walked aimlessly down the street, her mind filled with the hardships she had endured to achieve her current success.
Is it possible that the fate of the villainous female supporting character, Lu Xihan, is ultimately unchangeable, destined to die a tragic death?
She had already taken down Wei Qiushuang, killed Su Jiangling, and prevented many things from happening. Always one step ahead, she thought she should have a bright future ahead of her.
However, her path was cut off once again.
"boom"
Lu Xihan stared blankly at the person she had bumped into. That person was also looking at her with a frown, his eyes filled with displeasure or reproach.
It seems... there isn't any.
The man merely frowned and glanced at her twice, but this third glance inexplicably turned into confusion.
Why the doubt?
A glimmer of light finally appeared in Lu Xihan's eyes.
"you know me?"
"How come you have the Snow Melting Demon Poison on your body?"
The two spoke at the same time, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Lu Xihan reacted first, grabbing the man's arms and asking him in shock:
"You know! You know I'm infected with this demonic poison?!"
The man looked somewhat embarrassed, but he wasn't angry at Lu Xihan's rudeness. He simply patted her hand, which was gripping too tightly, and said, "Let go of me first."
Lu Xihan belatedly withdrew his hands and gave an awkward laugh.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited and that's why I was impolite. But what you said, fellow cultivator, is very important to me. I wonder if we could find a place to sit down and talk?"
The man seemed to ponder for a moment, then glanced at the woman opposite him a few more times before replying, "Alright."
There are no tall buildings in the demon realm, not even decent restaurants with private rooms. Lu Xihan didn't know if the demon poison in his body was hidden, so he could only find a place with relatively few demons to talk to people.
This person could tell at a glance what kind of poison she had been afflicted with, clearly knowing something. Moreover, there was no fierce aura in her eyes or brows like that of other demon cultivators, so she was somewhat trustworthy, but we still had to be cautious.
Just when Lu Xihan thought that God was about to give up on her, a glimmer of hope would appear, allowing her to seize it and desperately climb upwards, only to be met with another blow, as if God was toying with a child.
Just like now, she thought her life was over, but in the most ridiculous way, she found a way to survive.
The woman in front of her, they were complete strangers just a second ago, walking hand in hand on the street without getting in each other's way, but they bumped into each other just like that, and she just happened to recognize the poison in her body.
"My surname is Lu. Half a month ago, I went into the mountains to find medicine to treat my family members, but who knew that a group of fighting demons would suddenly appear on the way. I knew that my cultivation was low, so I thought it best to leave as soon as possible, but who knew..."
Lu Xihan was on the verge of tears: "I don't know where this strange demon came from, wearing a cloak, saying that I was blocking his way, so he poisoned me with this demonic poison. I'm really suffering an undeserved disaster!"
"Later I went to see many doctors, but they all said there was nothing they could do. I didn't know what to do either. I'm the only one in my family who can work. My parents need my care, and I also have a younger brother and sister..."
Lu Xihan spoke so convincingly, and with the look that she was about to cry at any moment, it was truly heartbreaking to hear and see.
But... the person opposite her just stared at her without saying a word, as if they had seen through all her tricks, and only spoke calmly after she finished her performance:
"You are a human cultivator."
This is not a question, but a certainty.
Lu Xihan froze, suddenly looking at her with full of defensiveness, showing no trace of his previous demeanor.
The person opposite him looked relaxed and didn't show any murderous intent.
"Since you already knew that, why did you still come with me?"
The person opposite him was also quite frank: "Because of the poison in your body."
"Oh?"
"Because of this poison... I have personally experienced it for a long time."
The man spoke with a smile, his eyes filled with memories.
Lu Xihan asked in confusion, "You, have you also been poisoned by this poison?"
"I've won, but..."
Mo Xianghuan smiled and opened her arms: "Do you see me still have any?"
Lu Xihan remained silent, glancing at her from head to toe several times.
She could have killed her in a matter of moments, even though she was at the Nascent Soul stage, yet there was no trace of demonic poison on her body.
"how did you do that?"
Being able to recognize this demonic poison and not being afraid of her Nascent Soul cultivation level, in other words, Lu Xihan no longer had the courage to question its authenticity, so she directly asked for the result.
"This poison is incurable, but there is one thing in the world that can overcome all poisons."
Lu Xihan's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is it?"
"Nine Nether Glazed Fire".
Nine Nether Glazed Fire?
The book does mention that later, when Wei Qiushuang went to a secret realm to seek an opportunity, she was poisoned by an unknown poison and her life was uncertain. Her harem members went to the Kongruo Cave at the foot of the Crimson Fire Peak in the far east to retrieve the Nine Nether Glazed Fire to cure her poison, risking their lives.
How could she forget that!
Lu Xihan immediately became energetic, but then quickly became listless again.
Not everyone can go to Crimson Fire Peak, let alone reach the Void Cave. Even the main characters who went there returned with a slim chance of survival. Moreover, her spiritual power is currently restricted, so she will either die on the way or die underground in that towering sea of rocks.
Have you obtained the Nine Nether Glazed Fire?
Hmph, it would be better to just die now.
Mo Xianghuan, sitting opposite her, seemed to have noticed her concerns and slowly spoke:
"Just because you can't obtain the Nine Nether Glazed Fire doesn't mean that no one on the Yuanzhou Continent possesses it."
Lu Xihan's eyes lit up again. That's right, with such a treasure there, it's impossible that no one has gone to retrieve it after all this time. But, it seems the book doesn't mention anyone having this thing...
Do you know who owns this fire?
"nature."
Mo Xianghuan looked at her with some doubt: "Leaving aside the demon realm, you cultivate alone, and you are at the Nascent Soul stage, how could you not know?"
"Is this something everyone knows? Besides, the Nascent Soul stage is..."
Lu Xihan suddenly paused and looked at the person opposite him with a puzzled expression.
"How...how did you know I was at the Nascent Soul stage?"
Mo Xianghuan scoffed, offering no answer: "Do you still want to get rid of the demonic poison in your body?"
Lu Xihan remained silent for a moment, then said, "Go ahead."
"On the mainland, there are only three people who possess the Nine Nether Glazed Flame: first, the Immortal Qingjun of the Xuanshan Sect; second, the Abbot Linghui of the Lingshan Faxiang Temple; and third, the deceased former Demon Emperor."
Liu Jun?
She actually possesses the Nine Nether Glazed Flame?
The memory of that meeting is still vivid in my mind. A stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, capable of waking Sui Yu with ease, and that black orchid she gave me...
She also possessed the Nine Nether Glazed Flame, but why, after the initial surprise, did she feel it was all justified?
Should we ask her for help?
However, Liu Jun has always been elusive, and the number of people who want to see her could probably circle the entire continent. Who does she think she is?
One died, and there's another... The eighty-six connected islands of Lingshan don't seem too far away.
Buddhist practice is always compassionate, and the success rate is very high.
Lu Xihan immediately made up her mind. Compared to one unknown and one extremely risky, going to Lingshan was simply risk-free and highly profitable.
He glanced at the person opposite him again, pondered for a moment, and then stood up to bow and thank her, placing two bottles of pills in front of her.
"We met by chance, yet you were able to offer honest advice and help. I thank you for your kindness."
Mo Xianghuan accepted it calmly, and finally said, "Since you have already made your choice, I will not delay you any longer. The demonic poison is unbearable, go."
Lu Xihan was also decisive, turning around and leaving the place.
Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Mo Xianghuan picked up the two bottles of pills beside her, her smile undiminished.
"So, I gave my Formless Skill to her..."
