A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 290: Transformation and Leaving Shadow Gate

Youmei remained silent after being awakened, and still let the fake leader remain active in front of people to cover for him. He avoided Hong'a's eyes and found the other two sect leaders to act in secret.

When facing Hong'a, Youmei also tried his best to act like a foolish slave like before, and let her bully him. Seeing Hong'a showing an unbridled smile when abusing him, Youmei was not angry but secretly happy. After ten years, he finally saw his beautiful Hongmei smiling again, even if it was just the pleasure of revenge on himself.

In the eastern part of Xiyue Country, outside the city of Qing in Linbei County, there is a secret courtyard hidden in the mountains and forests, which is where the Shadow Gate and the Killing Gate are located. The courtyard is also full of traps and is heavily guarded. Not to mention outsiders, not even a bird can fly into the courtyard. In the secluded west room of the courtyard, Xuanyu is imprisoned by the Master of Youmei.

The furnishings in the house are simple, with four doors and eight windows, and the air is bright and clear. Wisps of green smoke float from the incense burner on the desk, and the calming and faint fragrance permeates the entire house. However, the calming incense that calms the mind every day is mixed with a little bit of muscle softening powder.

Xuanyu sat cross-legged on the bed, with her palms folded on her dantian, but soon her palms fell limply, and her elegant face frowned, sweating profusely. Xuanyu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and then glared at the incense burner on the table, but she was helpless. She tried countless times but still couldn't use her power. As she inhaled more and more soft muscle powder, Xuanyu felt more and more tired all over.

Even though she was scented with calming incense every day, Yanyu was still anxious. She had been imprisoned here for so long, and the one who controlled Youmei had only come once. He asked a few questions about Hong'a's rebellion and then left in a hurry. Since then, she has never seen anyone except the maid who served her.

Hong'a's rebellion has been exposed. According to the rules of the Shadow Sect, he will be sentenced to death in public, and she, as Hong'a's right-hand man, is probably doomed. However, two months have passed and there has been no movement from the Shadow Sect. Yu Yu has guessed that the reason why Youmei still keeps her is because her sister is now the master of the Poison Insect Valley, and the Shadow Sect wants to use her to threaten her sister.

If it were in the past, Xuanyu would have sneered at the Shadow Clan's actions, after all, she had deep misunderstandings and resentments towards her sister at that time. But after spending several months with her sister in the Poisonous Insect Valley, Xuanyu got to know her sister again, and she would give up everything for her, even if it meant that the Poisonous Insect Valley succumbed to the Shadow Clan.

Huanyu has always been strong-willed. She doesn't want her sister to be implicated because of her, but now she can't even get out of the room. What's the point of being anxious?

With a "creak", the door was suddenly pushed open, and then a scarred man was pushed in. His white clothes were almost half stained red with blood.

"Zeng Si?" After seeing the man's face clearly, the originally alert Yan Yu exclaimed and hurriedly got off the bed to help the man who fell to the ground. However, she was so weak that not only did she fail to support him, but she fell to the side herself.

"Xuanyu, cough cough...Xuanyu...you're okay...that's great..." Zeng Si's fair face was also bruised and swollen. When he saw Xuanyu, his eyes, which were already dying, suddenly lit up, as if he came back to life.

"What are you doing here?" Looking at the shocking whip marks on Zeng Si's body, Yan Yu felt distressed and guilty. She didn't expect that he would come to Yingmen to save her. He risked his life just to save someone who never cared about him. Isn't that stupid?

"Don't worry, Xuanyu... Sister Honghua is here too... She will definitely find a way to rescue you..." Seeing Xuanyu still looking indifferent to him, Zeng Si was used to it. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stammered to comfort her, then lowered his head and continued to say guiltily: "It's all my fault that I was useless and accidentally got hit by their smoke..."

"Where is my sister now?" Before Zeng Si could finish speaking, Yan Yu asked hurriedly and nervously.

"It should still be in Linyuan Town. We found the Xinmen three days ago. We planned to go and check it out that night, but we didn't expect..." Zeng Si didn't say anything else, but just sighed in frustration.

Linyuan Town? Xinmen? Did Xinmen have no problems? Is Hong'e still fine? How could Youmei tolerate him until now?

Seeing that the wounds on Zeng Si's body were still bleeding, Xuan Yu had no time to think about what was happening outside. The most urgent thing was to help him stop the bleeding and heal his wounds, otherwise she would owe him another life.

Xuanyu struggled to help Zeng Si sit on the couch, and then she slowly took out a bottle of gold medicine from her bag to stop the bleeding and treat him.

"Xuanyu, what's wrong with you?" Zeng Si couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw his beloved woman applying medicine for him, but he soon noticed that Xuanyu looked weak, so he hurriedly asked worriedly.

"I was poisoned by the muscle softening powder." Yan Yu didn't say much, just replied calmly.

"You...you are not hurt, right?" Zeng Si was shocked and asked with concern.

"Since you were knocked unconscious and then tied up, why did they torture you?" Xuan Yu shook her head and then asked Zeng Si curiously.

"Of course it is to test how deep his love for you is, but this kid is too stubborn to say anything about you. It seems that his love for you is really forever." Before Zeng Si could speak, the door was pushed open again. The voice arrived before Youmei entered the room.

"Master, Zeng Si is not a member of our Yingmen, and he has never had any grudges with Yingmen. He was just bewitched by Xuanyu for a moment and did not intend to offend Yingmen. Please be magnanimous and let him go." Seeing Youmei, Xuanyu knelt down and saluted, then hurriedly pleaded for Zeng Si.

She naturally knew his intentions. Seeing him appear in front of her with bruises all over his body today, Yan Yu's heart was inadvertently stirred, but she couldn't involve him in the Shadow Gate at the moment.

"Xuan Yu... now that I'm here, I'll share life and death with you!" Zeng Si's heart was also surging at this moment, but even though he had thousands of words on his lips, he only uttered this short sentence, but this sentence was enough.

"What a story of sharing life and death, it's a moving poem!" Youmei smiled lazily, then lowered his head to look at Xuanyu who was still kneeling at his feet, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Xuanyu, do you admit your guilt?"

"Yue Yu knows her crime and pleads guilty, but please let Zeng Si go, Master."

"You two are really a perfect match. You are always thinking about each other at the critical moment of life and death." Xuanyu's words made Youmei sneer.

Although he sneered, Zeng Si, who was sitting on the couch, was secretly happy after hearing the words of the leader of Shadow Sect, although he also knew that the reason why Yan Yu pleaded for him was simply because she didn't want to owe him a favor.

"This is a power-transforming pill. If you take it, not only will all your power be destroyed, but your meridians will also be damaged, making you a useless person from now on." Youmei suddenly threw a red medicine bottle in front of Yanyu and said coldly.

"No!" Zeng Si was horrified upon hearing this. He knelt before Youmei without caring about his injuries and begged, "Master, can you let me take the punishment in place of Xuanyu?"

Xuanyu has a strong personality. If she becomes a disabled person from now on, it would be more cruel than killing her.

"Shut up!" Zeng Si's words shocked and angered Xuan Yu, and she immediately frowned and yelled at him.

How could she deserve him to sacrifice so much for her? She hadn't repaid him the favor she had owed him in the past, and she would never allow him to do something so stupid again.

"I am moved by Mr. Zeng's deep love for Xuanyu, but this punishment is an internal matter of our Yingmen, and you as an outsider had better not interfere. What's more, Xuanyu's martial arts originally came from our Yingmen. Now that she has been expelled from Yingmen, she naturally has to leave the things of Yingmen behind." Youmei said lightly. This was the first time he had met such an infatuated person, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Expelled from Yingmen? You mean... Xuanyu is free?" Zeng Si was surprised again when he heard that Xuanyu could leave Yingmen.

But Xuanyu on the side couldn't be happy. Leaving Yingmen was indeed what she had always dreamed of. However, once you enter Yingmen, you will become a ghost and it will be difficult to get out. Now that she can leave alive, it must be because her sister agreed to Youmei's conditions.

"Your betrayal of me should be punishable by death, but seeing that the Lord of Honghua Valley sincerely pleaded for her sister, I was deeply moved and promised to spare your life. But if you want to leave Yingmen, you must take this Huagong Pill." Youmei said lazily and then looked down at Yanyu.

"Thank you, Master." After Yu Chongyoumei bowed, she put a bean-sized pill from the red bottle into her mouth.

All her skills were gone and she became a useless person who could only survive. If it were in the past, she would have chosen to die. But now she cannot die. She has to take Zeng Si away from Yingmen and not let her sister down.

Zeng Si, who was standing aside, frowned in agony, but since it was a condition for Yan Yu to leave Yingmen, he naturally could not stop her.

Two days later, shrill screams were heard from the inner hall of the Shadow Sect. The leader of the Xin Sect, wearing a black and white mask, was ordered to be tortured to death by the butcher Youmei in public. The left guards, right guards and leaders of the Shadow Sect from all over the country were summoned here to witness the man sitting in the cauldron being skinned alive by the butcher. The miserable screams made everyone in the hall tremble with fear, and their hair stood on end. Only the high-ranking Youmei was still drinking tea leisurely.
