CHAPTER 383: CHAPTER 356: I CAME TOO LATE

Yu Xiaolian nodded, of course she had heard of the Immortal Powder. She came here just for the Immortal Powder.

It’s said that the Immortal Powder can cure the poison of Gu Worms, so if she takes the Immortal Powder, the Gu Worms might not approach her anymore.

The Immortal Powder is a good thing. Before she leaves, she should find a way to get more.

Miao Danyi laughed and asked, "Do you know what Immortal Powder is?"

Yu Xiaolian shook her head. She didn’t know. She learned of the Immortal Powder from Su Jingchen.

Miao Danyi chuckled, "You really don’t seem like someone from the Witch Clan. Why is the Longevity Gu on you?"

Originally, Miao Danyi didn’t want to ask, but his curiosity got the better of him.

Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to tell the truth, recounting to Miao Danyi everything Miao Qinya had done.

"Who’s Miao Qinya? Could she be Miao Shun’s granddaughter?"

Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "I don’t know. I’m not aware of Witch Clan matters!"

"Then why have you come to Miaojiang from the Northern Land? Did you come alone?"

Yu Xiaolian spoke honestly, "The Witch Clan is currently severely oppressed outside; people with Beneficial Gu are treated like street rats, afraid to show their true face. I don’t want to be the master of the Longevity Gu; I just want to be an ordinary person.

I came with my friend, but he’s missing now and I don’t know where to find him."

Miao Danyi nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

After a while Miao Danyi told Yu Xiaolian, that although the Longevity Gu was no longer in her body, because she had once been its master for over ten years, ordinary Gu Worms wouldn’t dare to approach her.

However, this only applied to Gu Worms. In the future, Yu Xiaolian would no longer be immune to all poisons as before. But not all poisons would affect her; some common intoxicants and laxatives would not work on Yu Xiaolian.

Yu Xiaolian was very happy hearing Miao Danyi’s words.

"Senior, what about you... will you go out?"

Miao Danyi slowly shook his head, "I don’t have much time left, and now, with Child and Mother Gu meeting, my body can no longer hold on.

When I die, the Longevity Gu will go with me, and there will be no such evil in the world.

I wonder how many people are still in the Witch Clan now?"

Yu Xiaolian heard about this from those clan members who drank, "Around a thousand!"

Miao Danyi felt a pang in his heart, had the Witch Clan really fallen to such a state?

"These Silver Taels should be used for those thousand people to live prosperously, and remember to pass that they should now hide in Leishan, not disturb the world, and act kindly in all matters."

Miao Danyi saying such words shocked Yu Xiaolian; had the former great villain turned towards Buddhism?

Did he have a great realization?

Or were the murderous stories he told earlier deceiving her, and he was originally a good person?

"Senior, they won’t listen to me!" She just killed Bai Qingying and Miao Yingyao, and the others were still seeking revenge for their leader and saintess, how would they listen to her command?

Suddenly, Miao Danyi clutched his chest, "Dispose of me as you wish, I... I’m leaving."

As soon as Miao Danyi finished speaking, he spun out of the cave like a gust of wind. The clattering chains echoed loudly, causing turmoil in Yu Xiaolian’s heart.

"Senior... you..." Yu Xiaolian chased after Miao Danyi out of the cave, but no matter how fast she ran, she could only see Miao Danyi’s back.

When she reached the edge, Yu Xiaolian saw Miao Danyi charging down the cliff without stopping.

"Senior!!!" He was seeking to feed the snakes with his body?

But he had the Longevity Gu in him, even snakes wouldn’t dare approach him?

What Yu Xiaolian didn’t know was that the Child and Mother Gu in the Longevity Gu were mutual opposites; if they existed in one body, they would fight to the death.

With a thud, as Miao Danyi’s body hit the bottom, Yu Xiaolian also fell into despair.

Although the climbing rope across was still there, it was at least five meters away from her; how was she supposed to get back?

Though she felt her body full of strength, and herself much lighter, she didn’t dare fly across the void.

Since so much gold and silver jewelry were hidden here, there must be another exit. Around the cave were smooth stone walls; thinking through, the entrance and exit could only be within the cave, so Yu Xiaolian had no choice but to turn back inside.

Yu Xiaolian took out a flashlight and shone it all over the cave, not missing any nook, but she didn’t find anything that looked like a door.

Alas, she didn’t understand Qimen Dunjia; would she be trapped here forever?

Suddenly, Yu Xiaolian’s eyes landed on the stone door. According to Miao Danyi, it was a tomb for his wife and daughter, but could the exit be inside?

Alas, the old man, even if he sought death, should have told her how to get out before dying?

Yu Xiaolian sat helplessly on a box full of Silver, and suddenly she had a brainwave; she jumped off the box, "Could the entrance and exit be beneath these things?"

Yu Xiaolian tried to move the box full of Silver, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds; no matter how much effort she exerted, it wouldn’t budge.

Yu Xiaolian had another insight, placing her hand on the boxes, she received them into her space one by one.

Once the cave was cleared out, Yu Xiaolian excitedly watched as a stone tunnel appeared in the ground, "Heh heh, this must be the exit."

Just as Yu Xiaolian was about to crawl in, she heard hurried footsteps at the cave entrance. Her heart skipped a beat; she quickly turned off the flashlight and hid in a corner beyond the reach of the eternal lamp’s light.

After a moment, Su Jingchen’s figure appeared in the cave. Yu Xiaolian was about to call him, but then she hesitated.

She didn’t know if this Su Jingchen was real.

But her silence didn’t mean Su Jingchen hadn’t found her.

As soon as Su Jingchen entered, he knew there was someone in the cave. After cautiously searching a circle, his eyes quickly met Yu Xiaolian’s in the corner.

"Lian’er!" Su Jingchen quickly ran towards Yu Xiaolian.

As he approached, a watermelon knife stopped him, "Stop, don’t come any closer!"

Su Jingchen was puzzled, "Lian’er, what’s wrong?"

Yu Xiaolian cautiously spoke in English, "how are you?"

Su Jingchen let out a laugh, "I’m fine."

Yu Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing this was indeed Su Jingchen. She threw the watermelon knife aside and hugged him, starting to tell her grievances.

"Where did you go? I came to this ghost place alone just to find you."

Su Jingchen knew Yu Xiaolian was surely frightened; he patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "It’s all my fault. I came late. Are you alright?"

If he hadn’t discovered the climbing rope Yu Xiaolian left, he wouldn’t have descended down here. Luckily, he found it.
