If I’m restored, this seal can’t stop me. But I will also honor our agreement and absolutely will not harm the royal clan or the ghost realm.”
Coming out of the cave, she looked at the drop of blood Yan Gu gave her, which could help her find the soul. Though they had made a life-and-death curse, she still felt uneasy. Could the resentment from her thousand-year seal truly dissipate so easily?
Mu Yin saw me come out and immediately approached: “Su Su.”
I quickly put away my palm and smiled: “Look, I’ve come out safely.”
He also let out a sigh of relief, hesitating for a moment before asking: “Where are you going now?”
I paused for a moment and said: “Back to the divine realm. Could you send me to the Gate of Life?”
“Mm.”
Mu Yin unsuspectingly accompanied me to the ghost gate. I bid him farewell and flew towards the divine realm. When I thought he should have left, I turned back again.
The blood droplet led towards the northwest. If it were in a town, it would be prosperous. Past the town, beyond the suburbs, after crossing three mountains, not even a ghost’s shadow could be seen. The blood continued to move, showing no sign of stopping.
I worried that my immortal energy was dissipating too quickly and might alert Mu Chuan.
If he knew about the contract I made with Yan Gu, I couldn’t imagine how angry he would be. With his personality, he would definitely say I believed someone who looked untrustworthy at first glance, calling me foolish.
Moreover, it was a life-and-death curse.
My condition was that after Yan Gu retrieved her soul, she must not harm the ghost domain and the royal clan and must never enter the ghost domain in this life to cause harm to the three realms. Yan Gu’s condition was that if she did not return the soul to me, I would have my soul scattered, and without a soul, I would disappear, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
The blood droplet’s trembling gradually slowed. I looked down at the peaks, getting closer to the soul.
My originally calm heart began to feel nervous again.
