Chapter 438: Chapter 155: A Strange Breakthrough Opportunity, Sharing a Cave With Lady Hall Master

Where she passed, the ground was littered with corpses.

Though the corpses were dead, the blood still boiled like thick soup, bubbling out and flowing towards the woman.

Where she hadn’t passed, the enemy scattered like frightened birds, fleeing in panic, retreating far away.

No one wanted to block her path.

This woman was indeed Gu Xuejian.

Gu Xuejian hovered above the vast sky, floating over Shanbao County.

Many looked up at this woman who seemed both immortal and demonic, while more hurried back home, shutting doors and windows tightly, and cautiously peeked from the window, not daring to take a breath as they looked outside.

Li Yuan was also stunned.

Gu Xuejian was really fierce?

She actually single-handedly charged into the Lotus Sect’s territory?

Moreover, the numbers above her head had changed from "2588~23100" to "4166~28483." Although the range wasn’t particularly exaggerated, it showed that Gu Xuejian had made some new progress.

’Has she broken into the fourth grade?’

Li Yuan covered his face.

’Truly worthy of being my son’s teacher; they share the same tendency to be reckless...

But wouldn’t it be better to consolidate her realm back home rather than charging here?’

Still, he could see that Gu Xuejian was truly extremely formidable now.

The streams of blood returned to her Demon Sword, seemingly granting her power, making her cheeks flush slightly, giving an impression of "thrill in slaughter."

Li Yuan could almost confirm that with the Celestial Thunder Body Piercing, Gu Xuejian could achieve nearly "28483" in combat strength.

In this state, even other Fourth Grades wouldn’t dare to challenge her, as... Gu Xuejian looked like she had been killing for a while, her buffs fully stacked.

He quickly controlled the little bird to leisurely fly aside, not daring to use his peripheral vision to look at Gu Xuejian, lest he be accidentally killed.

After slaughtering all the Lotus Thieves who dared to show themselves in Shanbao County, Gu Xuejian suddenly dove down, landing in what looked like Silver Creek Square.

Soon, the figure rose into the air again, this time with a rather luxurious coffin at her feet, and a live pig, a live sheep, and a live cow floating beside her.

The next moment, she fell towards Little Ink Workshop, along with the pig, sheep, cow, and coffin.

Li Yuan carefully controlled the flying bird to approach, only to see Gu Xuejian stop at his old home, which was now a blacksmith shop.

The Seventh Grade Blacksmith, who had previously pretended to be weak against the Red Lotus thieves, was petrified.

Facing this fierce woman, he didn’t even have the courage to move.

"Is this Li Yuan’s home?"

"Yes... yes... yes..." The blacksmith’s teeth chattered.

"Why are you living here?"

"I... I... I admire Li... Master Li..." The blacksmith trembled, and behind him the curtain lifted, a village woman in a blue headscarf rushed out and knelt directly on the ground, shouting, "Spare me, spare me."

"Admire him... but don’t emulate him, he’s a fool."

Gu Xuejian’s voice carried a kind of haunted air, "Move out later, from now on this is his memorial tomb, I don’t want anyone to disturb it."

"Y-yes!"

The blacksmith wiped his cold sweat, suddenly gathered courage, and said, "I... can I sweep the tomb for him, the old man? I..."

After a brief silence, a word emerged in the void.

"Yes."

The blacksmith let out a long breath. When he looked up again, the terrifying white-clad woman was already standing in the courtyard, without any apparent action, a huge stone flew over from a distance.

With her sword, Gu Xuejian swiftly carved out a boyish shape, lifelike from afar, but slightly rough on close inspection.

The blacksmith realized, this must be Master Li.

After sculpting the stone statue of Li Yuan, Gu Xuejian approached it, meticulously and carefully refining it.

A long time later, apart from being stone-made, the statue was indistinguishable from a real person, even the hair was vividly detailed.

Gu Xuejian placed the statue into the coffin, then carefully covered the coffin lid. Suddenly, the soil in front of her rose, forming a pit just right for the coffin to be placed.

Gu Xuejian let go, placing the coffin inside, and the soil was manipulated by some power to fill it up again.

She raised her hand to summon another stone, engraving "Li Yuan’s Tombstone" before inserting it into the ground, then slaughtered the pig, sheep, and cow, offering them as sacrifices before the tombstone.

After completing all this, she closed her eyes, looked skyward, and solemnly, slowly declared with a chilly voice: "May you enjoy this offering, soul return!!"

The eight words echoed like thunder, rumbling far and wide.

The sound was unbelievably long, unaffected by wind or walls, stretching across dozens of miles, heard clearly by people in distant workshops.

Having finished speaking these eight words, Gu Xuejian silently looked at the stele, then said: "Go well."

Far away, Li Yuan, peering quietly through the bird’s eye, fell into long silence, sighing inwardly: ’Lady Hall Master is truly considerate.’

After setting up the memorial tomb, Gu Xuejian swiftly stood, having sensed several gazes fixed on her from a distance, it was time to leverage this momentum to confront them.

With successive victories and drinking blood, she was in peak condition right now.

In the next moment, she and her sword soared into the sky, shooting straight into the distance.

Li Yuan silently thought: ’Take it easy, old lady, go back if you need to, my son is still waiting to cling to your leg.’

Having done all this, he continued investigating Wendao Palace’s situation while directing the birds to fly towards Gu Xuejian.

He didn’t plan to help, nor could he help.

But isn’t she his son’s teacher?

Whether she lived or died, he needed to know.

If Gu Xuejian unfortunately died recklessly, he might have to alter his plans.
