But the more vaguely he spoke, the more concerned Xia Wuyuan became.
"A spatial rift..."
"A hundredfold concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy..."
"An unknown, bizarre energy..."
"A mysterious powerhouse who could possess others..."
"Could some ancient relic have awakened?"
Stroking his white beard, Xia Wuyuan murmured to himself, then looked up at Gu Qing and asked, "Young Gu, what did this mysterious powerhouse look like? What distinguished her techniques?"
"I suspect she, too, is a Transcendent Powerhouse from an earlier era who has slumbered for a long time, secluded from the world for centuries like me, and only recently emerged."
"She might even be an old acquaintance of mine."
"..."
An acquaintance?
She certainly is.
You were scared senseless when you saw her during the day.
As Gu Qing thought this, he began making up descriptions of the Deity Girl's appearance and techniques in his head, planning to bluff his way past Xia Wuyuan.
But just as he was about to start fabricating his story...
The next second!
The subject of their conversation appeared!
Like a ghost, the Deity Girl suddenly floated out from behind him without a sound.
The instant he saw the Deity Girl...
Xia Wuyuan's pupils violently contracted. Terror swept through his entire body like a tsunami, and he instinctively cried out in disbelief and fright:
"Y-you!!"
No sooner had he spoken than a delicate hand reached out and pierced straight through his head.
Immediately afterward, his terrified eyes went blank. Clearly, certain memories had been erased.
After Xia Wuyuan fell victim to her hand...
Gu Yao and Xia Shuran opposite him were not spared either.
Both were so weak that they failed even to sense the Deity Girl's presence. Before they could realize what had happened, she reached out and erased their memories.
