Absolute Death Game-Chapter 414 - 38: Rebirth Through Soul Possession

Xuanxu Zi frowned, thinking to himself, "Why is that brat Xiao Buli always pestering me these days? How could he burst in so recklessly just after I hurried back?"

Opening his eyes, he indeed saw Xiao Buli dash in, panic-stricken, and came to a halt in front of his master, "Master, something terrible has happened, it seems like the eldest senior brother might have strayed into the Demon Dao."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu Zi was taken aback. Gu Yuexuan was the person he had prepared for soul possession, so he naturally paid extra attention to him. Ever since he had entered Mystic Hollow Palace, Gu Yuexuan, whether due to temperament or other reasons, although outwardly respectful, always seemed politely distant. He never approached him with questions like Jingci and Ji Xiangyun did, as if he could handle many things on his own. But since Xuanxu Zi did not know how his predecessor had interacted with him, it was difficult to be overly warm without risking Gu Yuexuan noticing something amiss. As a result, their relationship grew increasingly remote.

Therefore, he was particularly careful with Gu Yuexuan, but the more he did so, the more paranoid he became, always feeling that Gu Yuexuan might have discovered something.

Upon hearing the incoherent words of Xiao Buli, his heart was startled, but on the surface, he kept a calm expression.

"What nonsense are you talking about, how could your eldest senior brother stray into the Demon Dao?"

Xiao Buli plopped down, "Master, I’ve learned the Sword Control Skill in the Immortal Realm, so as soon as I returned, I wanted to seek guidance from eldest senior brother. You know his Sword Control Technique is the most formidable. Of course, I could ask Master, but learning from you requires contribution points, and you know, I..."

Xiao Buli suddenly rambled on about everything, making Xuanxu Zi increasingly irritated, "Get to the point," Xuanxu Zi said in a deep voice.

"Oh, right, the point. The point is, Master, didn’t you tell me to keep an eye on eldest senior brother’s actions? So as soon as I got the chance, I ran over to check on him. Little did I know better, and what I found out was indeed a secret. His bamboo house is completely different from before; he has excavated a secret room, dark and cold. Just now, I peeked stealthily at the door and saw him inside..." As he spoke, Xiao Buli seemed to recall something terrifying and swallowed hard.

"What is he doing inside?" Xuanxu Zi was so anxious that he hurriedly asked, with Xiao Buli internally pleased, thinking the more anxious you are, the less time you’ll have to ponder the truth of the matter.

"Elder brother is inside, messing around with something, manipulating many souls to be infused into a body. The secret room was filled with wails and howls, very similar to the Yin Souls I saw at Wangliang Mountain. So, I suspect he has joined the Taiyin Sect or some other heterodox sect. Last time, I even went to Wangliang Mountain with him, unaware of the dangers." Xiao Buli mumbled as he watched Xuanxu Zi’s expressions.

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu Zi’s face alternated between dark and light shades, as he pondered the reason behind Gu Yuexuan’s actions, then he suddenly asked with urgency, "What does that body look like?"

Xiao Buli pretended to recall, "It’s like a Taoist around twenty to thirty years old, with a handsome appearance, wearing a blue Taoist robe..." Xiao Buli’s description made Xuanxu Zi feel increasingly alarmed as it was strikingly similar to Xuan Zhenzi.

"There’s no time to waste, come with me quickly."

Having said that, Xuanxu Zi seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wait, better not come with me, in case your eldest senior brother becomes volatile and accidentally hurts you. It will suffice for me to find your eldest senior brother and ask for clarity."

Without any further ado with Xiao Buli, Xuanxu Zi quickly walked outside.

"Master, you haven’t rewarded me yet for completing the task," Xiao Buli quickly shouted after Xuanxu Zi. Who knew if the latter would still be alive later; it was best to secure one’s reward at once.

Xuanxu Zi waved his hand without turning back, and Xiao Buli immediately heard a system notification beside his ear: Task of surveillance completed, rewarded with 500 contribution points. "Ha, Xuanxu Zi sure values Gu Yuexuan highly," Xiao Buli thought to himself.

Xuanxu Zi, having left the palace, had no time for pretense. If what Xiao Buli said was true, then Gu Yuexuan was currently in the process of reviving Xuan Zhen. If he were to succeed, it would mean another powerful enemy for Xuanxu Zi.

"Master, what brings you out for a stroll today?" Jingci was surprised to see Xuanxu Zi and promptly bowed to greet him. No wonder, since it was unusual for Xuanxu Zi to come out and walk about; he usually stayed in the great hall every day.

Xuanxu Zi did not engage in conversation, his mind preoccupied with the present urgency. He walked toward Gu Yuexuan’s bamboo house, anxiously maneuvering with Dharma Method. Although it seemed he was walking step by step, with each step Xuanxu Zi’s figure would suddenly advance over a hundred meters.

As his master hastily disappeared into the distance, Jingci couldn’t help but feel puzzled; he had never seen his master so unconcerned with his own dignity before.

"Something’s fishy," a crisp voice suddenly rang out behind Jingci. Without turning, Jingci recognized it as his junior sister’s voice.

"What do you think, shall we go have a look?" Jingci suggested.

"Of course, no need to ask," Ji Xiangyun immediately endorsed the impromptu suggestion with strong enthusiasm.

The two of them hurried in the direction their master had gone. By now, Xuanxu Zi was out of sight, but fortunately, Mystic Hollow Palace was not very large, and following this direction, there seemed only one reasonable destination. Thus, the two quickly arrived outside the bamboo house, only to find Xiao Buli was also there.
