Chapter 1986 - 1567: Divine Soul Injury, Changsheng Toppled

"Master of the Transformative Realm?" Gu Changsheng heard Elder Jin’s words, turned around, and smiled.

In that instant, her elegance and charm were boundless, comparable to a flourish of blooming flowers, unmatched in beauty...

However, within this ultimate aesthetic was also the ultimate oppressive grandeur...

Just when everyone thought this naturally majestic woman, who commanded respect without needing to display anger, would acknowledge them as masters of the Transformative Realm, Gu Changsheng’s aura took a sudden 360-degree turn!

That’s right, you read it correctly!

A full 360-degree turn, not much more than one hundred and ten degrees, just half a circle more!

The boundless elegance and natural charm, the awe-inspiring beauty, vanished like bubbles in an instant, replaced by a roguish expression, casually curling her lips and nonchalantly throwing down a line, "What the hell is a Master of the Transformative Realm? I, your granny, have no idea!"

Who would have known that, at this moment, the hearts of everyone present were shattered, overturned, full of doubt...

In short, it was all very complicated!

"Look, the lady is bullying people again!" Yuan Bao saw this, the corner of his mouth twitching, tilting his head to share his impressions with Black Man Duo Shu beside him.

Black Man Duo Shu nodded in deep agreement, but his gaze towards Gu Changsheng carried a hint of contemplation...

In all fairness, it seems only Gu Changsheng could so boldly spout such nonsense, making a remark like what the hell is a Master of the Transformative Realm!

This woman who even survived the Nine-Layer Thunder Lightning Heavenly Tribulation is someone who has surpassed the realm of Transformative Realm!

Surpassed the Transformative Realm!

Throughout the ages, from past to present, she is the one and only who has surpassed the Transformative Realm!

If those buried pasts are the Ancient Era, then this woman before them is the first to break through in the Post-Ancient Era!

She has the pride to be proud of, the right to look down upon others, and the indifference to dismiss it all!

Her existence seems to become more and more like a mystery, making Duo Shu unable to fathom...

"Lord Yong Shu, what are you still standing there for? Don’t you have a room? Aren’t you going to show us the way? I’m exhausted!" Gu Changsheng didn’t care about the shocked reactions of the crowd and was about to go towards Yong Shu...

But unexpectedly, upon moving, Gu Changsheng felt darkness sweep over her, her mind spinning!

Divine Soul Injury!

Just now, in her anger, she had spent too much of her mental energy, leaving her in such a weakened state!

A slender arm encircled her almost instantly as she raised a hand to support her forehead, wrapping around her body and lifting her up horizontally.

"Did you forget the promise you made?" Zhou Mu lowered his head, looking at the frail little woman in his arms, his gaze filled with heartache, his tone icy and stern.

This woman, just couldn’t be restrained, unable to handle anything, even daring to get angry with a Divine Soul Injury risking further harm!

Nestled in her fellow evildoer’s embrace, Gu Changsheng shook her head while clutching her head, striving to present a pleasing smile at him...

She got angry, and her fellow evildoer didn’t stop her because he understood that if she didn’t vent her rage, it would only burn fiercer within.

But, the aftermath of this anger was truly unsolvable!

Divine Soul Injury, unlike physical pain, even someone as confident as Gu Changsheng, known as a Divine Doctor, was helpless!

At this moment, Zhou Mu coldly turned back, glancing at Elder Jin and others on the ground. His face, like that of a Divine Residence, turned pitch-black, pressure evident, and his voice as chilling as plunging into an icy cavern...

"You angered her, exhausted her spirit, you deserve to die ten thousand times!"

Causing her Changsheng such suffering!

Kill them!

A voice echoed in Zhou Mu’s heart; he didn’t even dare to look at the face of the person in his arms.

His beloved, the apple of his eye, the woman he cared for so dearly, had never been this weak...

And it’s all because of these people!

They deserve to die!

Boundless pressure, carrying dark malicious energy, instantly emanated from Zhou Mu’s body. The palpable black malicious energy seemed to splash ink into the night, accompanied by gusts of wind and the eerie wails of ghosts and wolves...

Power of Demon Fall, Power of Darkness!

Gu Changsheng’s weakness surprisingly triggered the hidden murderous intent in Zhou Mu’s heart once more...

Elder Jin, who had yet to get back on his feet from the ground, was instantly shocked with eyes wide open...

This power!

This power!

It’s completely beyond what a Master of the Transformative Realm should possess!

As an elder of the Mercenary Alliance, Elder Jin was not confined to Smelting City. He had traveled far and wide in search of the Conquest Realm method and had discreetly visited some reclusive masters. However, he had never witnessed such all-encompassing, devouring power!

This is like Purgatory returning to the human world!

Jin Luoyi was already so frightened that he staggered and sat on the ground. Just now, he clearly felt that man’s gaze as if it wanted to crush his soul, instilling a fear deep within his soul!

Sitting on the ground, Jin Luoyi and the surrounding onlookers all stepped back fearfully. However, only three people stood still without moving!

They were the two women and one man who had come with Jin Luoyi, each wearing a felt hat, looking in the direction of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu!

"Evildoer, you mustn’t!"

With his head pounding and spirit crestfallen, Gu Changsheng still sensitively noticed the changes around him. He quickly tugged at Zhou Mu’s sleeve, urgently speaking.

We can’t go on a killing spree here; they would be trapped in this Smelting City formed by gold-element Five Elements array!

We can’t!

Absolutely not!

"Evildoer..." he thought, but Gu Changsheng really had no strength to voice his words.

Yet Zhou Mu clearly felt the small hand on his sleeve trembling...

The black aura around Zhou Mu slowly dissipated, and his blood-red eyes gradually regained clarity...

Looking down at the woman in his arms, Zhou Mu’s eyes were full of distress...

Divine Soul Injury!

How on earth can it be resolved?

Could it really be okay to take her, injured, into the depths of Divine Mount Qilian?

Zhou Mu began to doubt again whether his decision was the right one!

"Go!" With a face as if sculpted by gods, Zhou Mu’s expression changed, and in almost one step, he was beside Yong Shu, stating in a deep voice.

"Ah? Oooh..." Yong Shu was stupefied at first, giving Zhou Mu a terrified glance before coming to his senses, then hurriedly turned and led the way, pace somewhat unsteady...

Good heavens, just what sort of figure had he brought into the Mercenary Alliance?

At this moment, Yong Shu’s heart was incredibly complex!

He had originally thought the man, about to die at the hands of Wang Quan and others, not only survived the ring but also stirred clouds and storms with his actions!

What pleased Yong Shu was that he had at least forged good ties with Gu Changsheng’s group, yet what worried him was, could someone of such unknown prowess not bring trouble to their Mercenary Alliance?

"According... according to the Mercenary Alliance’s customs, masters enjoy the best treatment, so... so, there’s an empty courtyard next to mine, why don’t you stay there..." Yong Shu was still somewhat averse to Zhou Mu, nervously speaking as Yuan Bao and the others caught up, seeing Yuan Bao looking kindly, he then spoke.

"Alright, thank you, Master Yong Shu." Yuan Bao, seeing that the master had no intent to speak, took it upon himself to respond.

"The courtyard is well-equipped. I’ll have hot water sent over shortly..." Seeing this, Yong Shu finally eased his nerves slightly, starting to babble arrangements.

Yuan Bao occasionally responded but did not make any excessive demands.

However, even so, when Yong Shu saw a huge python in the small courtyard, he was still dumbfounded!

"Heh heh..." Yuan Bao knew the Soul-Devouring Python had a spiritual connection with Madam, so finding her was no hard task. But seeing the frightened Yong Shu, Yuan Bao smiled awkwardly, "Well, um... this is my lady’s pet! A pet!"

"A... a pet?" Yong Shu looked at the python with its head raised, flicking its tongue, then glanced at its lantern-like scarlet eyes, face pale, words intermittent.

"Ahem... yes... it’s a pet..." Yuan Bao laughed awkwardly, "It’s just a bit big... does that show my lady is good at caring for it?"

Was that the main point?

Yong Shu had encountered quite a lot of frightening things today, and couldn’t react quickly...

A woman keeping such a pet, is this really okay?

"Well... alright..." Yong Shu could only answer as such, seeing Yuan Bao refer to the lady, always nestled in Shui Mu’s arms, thinking not to look at the python, lest it show himself ignorant. Perhaps outside Smelting City, people liked raising such terrifying pets?

"Um, what happened to your lady? She looks like she’s in low spirits. Is she hurt?" Yong Shu worked on transitioning the topic, feigning concern, yet still trapped in the fear of seeing the Soul-Devouring Python, absent-mindedly continuing, "She seemed fine earlier, but something went wrong when furious, is this a Divine Soul Injury? She can’t have extreme emotional fluctuations..."

The speaker spoke unintentionally, but the listener took note!

A longsword appeared at Yong Shu’s neck almost instantly, Yuan Bao’s face changed, losing his former kindly appearance, his once round and smooth face now full of vigilance, holding the Baby Jin Bao in one hand, pointing a sword at Yong Shu with the other, coldly speaking, "Who are you? How do you know about Divine Soul Injury? Speak! Who sent you?"

A Divine Soul Injury isn’t a common ailment; ordinary folk wouldn’t even know of it, let alone this person who could instantly identify what it was and explain it!
