Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

16. Entrance to the ancient tomb

She wanted to see what Mo Nishang could figure out. However, through the other party's layers of analysis, she vaguely felt that the other party's way of thinking was somewhat similar to hers. She wasn't sure that Mo Nishang couldn't guess her identity, but that's what made it so scary, okay?

Xuanyuan Huanyu knew her identity without any problem, but Mo Nishang was different. She was a demon. If you were to ask who among the righteous sects of the Immortal Spirit Continent fought the most fiercely against the demons, the answer would undoubtedly be the Gao family. And logically speaking, she had a blood feud with the demons for killing her father. Who knew if any of the demons here had a blood feud with the Gao family as deep as hers? If it was really as she thought, she was doomed today, and there was no way she could ever recover.

Thinking of this, she felt an urge to slap herself. She always spoke faster than she thought, and everything she said just slipped out. Now she'd gotten herself into trouble. She'd even let the other person continue, saying it was okay to listen. But if the other person hadn't said it, Mo Nishang's guesses about her identity would still be unclear, given the ambiguity. Now that she had actually figured it out, what was she supposed to do?

To vehemently deny it would be suspicious of her guilty conscience, while to openly admit it would be even more suicidal. She now wishes she could take back what she just said and replace it with: "Time is money, how could a nobody like me waste the Fifth Princess's precious time doing this analysis? As for my origins, I will tell you everything I know (and all the nonsense)."

"Ah Zhong, if I ever try to show off in front of people like Mo Nishang and Xuan Yuan Huanyu, you have to stop me!"

Upon first hearing Gao Zhun's telepathic message, Ah Zhong looked puzzled, but in an instant, he understood the meaning of the word and replied helplessly, "Master, you know perfectly well that what you say is faster than what you think, so how could I possibly stop you?"

"..." This fact had actually been discovered. Gao Zhun sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead, while Mo Ni Chang's voice echoed in her mind—

"It's true that you're not focused. Even at a time like this, you still have the mind to chat with your servants. Aren't you thinking about how to deal with me, the fifth princess of the demon race? You should know that I'm not as easy to talk to as Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. Lord Huang Zhu..." She paused, and the voice transmission echoed in her mind again: "It should be Lord Gao Zhun."

"How could you..." Gao Zhun subconsciously took a few steps back, staring at Mo Nishang in disbelief. How could this person know her name? She had prepared herself for the other party to guess her general identity as a member of the Gao family, but she never expected that this person would even know her name. Originally, she might have been able to rely on the Gao family behind her to have some leverage, but now it seems that the other party has probably dug up all her background (except for the time on Earth). So naturally, she knows that she was just an insignificant little person in the Gao family before, with no threat whatsoever, and of course, no value in killing her.

However, precisely because of this, she was even more terrified at this moment, regretting her decision to separate from Xuan Yuan Huan Yu again and again. Now she finally understood what it meant to feel "so regretful it's like your guts are turning green." If she could, she wished she could have a dozen pills to undo her regrets...

"How could I possibly know so much about your identity?" Mo Nishang chuckled. She didn't use telepathy to say this, but instead chuckled aloud. She was quite satisfied. She saw the expected expression on Gao Zhun's face. After all, this person wasn't as boring as Xuan Yuan Huan Yu.

The thought of that woman from the Xuanyuan family made Mo Nishang's smile even more radiant, causing Ah Zhong to awkwardly turn his head away, unable to look at this captivating enchantress.

"I'm really looking forward to the moment when we meet Xuanyuan Huanyu in the tomb. Lord Huangzhu, what do you think her expression will be if she sees that you abandoned her and are traveling with me? Will it be shock, anger, or perhaps..."

“Of course, I’ll be expressionless.” Gao Zhun interrupted Mo Nishang and added, “I have no relationship with that woman. Don’t use words like ‘abandon’. We were just strangers who met by chance.”

"Nothing to do with it?" Mo Nishang stared intently at Gao Zhun, making the latter feel uneasy. After feeling uneasy, she felt a self-deprecating laugh. What was wrong with her? There was clearly nothing to do with it, so why did she feel guilty as if she were lying? This Mo Nishang's domineering gaze was no less than that of Xuan Yuan Huan Yu.

"Ah."

She thought the other party was going to say something more, but she only heard a mocking laugh and then nothing more. Although Gao Zhun's desire to run away was a thousand times stronger than when she was with Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, the difficulty of the journey had also increased. She secretly glanced at the number of demons led by Mo Ni Chang, which numbered over a hundred. Of course, this was much less than the number at the Giant Spirit Platform. After all, not everyone could enter a place like an ancient tomb. The ones Mo Ni Chang had selected were all elites with exceptional strength.

In the hands of such a group of people, her and Ah Zhong's fighting strength is completely negligible, okay?

Furthermore, as Mo Nishang herself said, she is not Xuan Yuan Huanyu.

In truth, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu is a woman who is relatively easy to understand. Although she always appears expressionless and cold, her heart is filled with imperial power politics, and her scheming is unfathomable. Just look at the trembling and cautious manner of the seven people accompanying her, and you can get a glimpse of how terrifying she is. But understanding this woman to this extent is enough. Moreover, subconsciously, Gao Zhun felt that this woman inexplicably valued her, so she concluded that the woman would not harm her.

However, Gao Zhun sighed softly and followed A Zhong into the demon race's ranks. Contrary to expectations, demons and humans generally resembled humans, but the demonic energy inherent in each demon clearly distinguished them. It was said that the demon race also included strangely shaped creatures, but these were mostly slaves, insignificant and few in number.

Mo Ni Chang was always smiling, a smile that sent shivers down one's spine. This wasn't a flutter of excitement, but rather a deep fear. The true emotions beneath her smile were impossible to fathom. Coupled with her words at the Giant Spirit Platform that day, Gao Zhun felt Mo Ni Chang's attitude towards them, the human cultivators, was extremely strange. She didn't seem to possess the intense hostility typical of demons, yet she seemed brimming with malice—in short, a person whose very analysis was a headache. However, Gao Zhun knew that such people were the most dangerous, because they were often extremely self-centered, acting entirely on their own whims. Most importantly, Gao Zhun's life was now in this woman's hands. The fact that the woman hadn't acted on a whim only proved that she could kill her with a single thought.

From the fact that she learned that Mo Nishang led the demons to ambush here in order to capture some people who knew about the entrance to the ancient tomb or came out of the ancient tomb to learn about the situation, but after capturing her and Ah Zhong, she resolutely led her army directly to the entrance in a grand procession, it can be seen that Mo Nishang is a woman who does things on a whim.

Although Gao Zhun always felt that she came into this world with a special mission (she had read too many novels), she was not confident that she could be resurrected again and again. Maybe she was only set to have nine lives or three lives, and if she died, she would have one less!

Of course, the most terrifying thing is that the truth is that she only has this one life.

However, recalling what the other party had said before, she inexplicably felt that her life would be safe until Mo Nishang and her group met Xuan Yuan Huanyu. Of course, it might sound a bit nonsensical and melodramatic, but she always felt that Mo Nishang seemed to treat Xuan Yuan Huanyu very differently. She couldn't rule out the possibility that this fifth princess of the demon race had fallen in love with the top genius of the righteous Xuan Yuan family and wanted to seduce him and have a lesbian relationship with him.

The more Gao Zhun thought about it, the more certain he became of his guess. After all, the most unlikely thing is often the most likely, isn't it?

Mo Ni Chang, walking at the front of the group, naturally didn't expect that Gao Zhun, now a prisoner, would still have the leisure to gossip about her and Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. However, given this woman's personality, her reaction after knowing what the other party was thinking was nothing more than: What does it mean to be in a lesbian relationship with Xuan Yuan Huan Yu? But if it comes to flirting, if possible, I really want to see what kind of expression Xuan Yuan Huan Yu will show when I tease him.

It seems that Princess Mo Nishang has a strange obsession with making others show unusual expressions...

The place where Gao Zhun and A Zhong landed was only three miles away from the entrance of the ancient tomb. At this moment, this team of more than a hundred people with an average cultivation level of late Golden Core arrived at the entrance in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the entrance to the ancient tomb?" Gao Zhun stared at the massive stone door that revealed a corner of the tomb, her expression strange. This was completely different from the ancient tomb she had imagined. Shouldn't the entrance lead to a dark, dangerous cave, perhaps with millennia-old zombies occasionally jumping out to bite and kill tomb raiders? Why was it a paradise, a place of birdsong and fragrant flowers, inside? What was going on?

Mo Nishang naturally heard Gao Zhun's question. In fact, she also had the same question in her mind. She guessed that everyone who had just arrived at the entrance was thinking the same thing. However, seeing that the entrance was empty except for them, it seemed that everyone had gone inside.

In fact, they waited at that place for three whole days before Gao Zhun and Ah Zhong finally arrived, but they still hadn't even seen the entrance. Now that they think about it, it's likely that no one who went in ever came out. As for the reason, only those who went in could know.

They may be dead, or they may be thriving and reluctant to leave.
