After a few seconds of silence, I turned my head and looked at the chair that President Xu used to sit behind the desk.
Zhao Ying's mother, the old witch in front of me, had a strange, old, and hoarse voice.
However, it was out of my expectation that she wasn't the white-haired old woman that I had imagined. Instead, she was around fifty years old. Although her hair was a little white, I could still see the charm of her youth on her face.
What was even stranger was that the old witch didn't look like she had been through many hardships. She didn't have any terrifying aura, and she was wearing ordinary, outdated clothes. At first glance, she looked like a middle-aged woman who had just come to the city from the countryside.
In fact, for a moment, I could even see some similarities between her and my mother.
I shook my head, and put President Xu's matter aside. I tried to make my voice sound calm, and said to her, "I'm very sorry about Zhao Ying's matter. There was a reason for it, so I didn't directly attack her. I just wanted to get rid of her Gu.
However, because I didn't know much about gu, I didn't know that her mother was the Life Gu. That's why I killed her. "
Zhao Ying had told me that even if I had the Gu King, I wouldn't be a match for her mother.
After that, I analyzed her words. She must have mistaken the snake spirit for the King of Venomous Worms. That's why she said that.
However, the serpent spirit was just a Yin soul. Although it had the experience of turning into a flood dragon and its power wasn't ordinary, the serpent spirit wasn't strong after it had become a Yin soul. At least, it wasn't as strong as the Gu King that Zhao Ying had mentioned. It wasn't a match for the old witch.
Tong Tong was still recovering, and President Xu had betrayed me. At this moment, I could only rely on myself.
However, my power was too weak. If I fought against this old witch, I wouldn't have any hope of surviving.
That was why I could only try my best to negotiate with her and hope that she could reason with me.
The old witch's image was different from what I had expected. From her appearance, she didn't seem like a person that was hard to communicate with.
However, what she said next shattered the last bit of hope I had.
"I know what happened to Ying. It doesn't matter if you killed her by mistake or not. Just admit that you killed her."
The old witch's face was calm, and her voice didn't fluctuate. It seemed she had just sentenced me to death.
Then, she continued, "I can no longer sense the aura of the Kirin Gu. It should be dead. Let me ask you again, how did you kill the Kirin Gu?"
The magic compass and the snake spirit were all secrets that I had always kept hidden. But at this moment, in the face of life and death, there was no longer any meaning in keeping secrets.
I kept silent for a while then told her about the magic compass and the snake spirit. I even told her that I had found a way to remove the Yin energy from the snake spirit's body. I just hid the existence of the pupil.
After I told her everything, the old witch's expression changed for the first time. She frowned and said, "You're lying!"
When her face changed, I finally felt a murderous aura from her body.
Her temperament of a middle-aged country woman had dissipated quite a bit and was replaced by a kind of oppressive aura.
I had seen this kind of aura from Yang Shilong and Ye Pianpian. Although the witchcraft of Miaojiang was different from Feng Shui, it was still part of Metaphysics. As long as her power was released, I could directly feel it.
My heart sank as I hastily said, "I'm not lying at all. I have the magic artifact, the compass, and the snake spirit with me. If you don't believe me, I can call them out for you to question them."
The old witch's expression calmed down a little. She nodded and said, "Give me the compass. I'll check them myself."
I had already taken out the magic compass and was about to summon the snake spirit. However, I shook my head after hearing her words.
"Senior, this is mine. I'll summon them and you can ask them, but I can't give them to you."
From the old witch's attitude, it was almost impossible for her to let me go. It would be ridiculous for me to hand over the only magic tool that I could use to fight for her forgiveness.
If I had no other choice and had to die, I hoped that I could die with dignity.
Just as I thought, my words had enraged the old witch. She squinted her eyes and laughed strangely with her hoarse voice.
As she laughed, I didn't see her move, but my heart skipped a beat. Then, I felt a sharp pain that seemed to come from the depths of my soul. I couldn't stand straight and slumped to the ground.
At the same time, I threw the compass in my hand. It fell right in front of the old witch's feet.
She looked at me with pity and disdain. Then, she calmly picked up the compass from the ground. She turned it around and looked at it. "You're really lucky. You got this kind of coincidental spirit magic tool."
Then, she sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that only people from the Central Plains like you can use it. We, the people of Miaojiang, only believe in Gu."
The old witch suddenly threw the compass away. It hit the wall and made a loud thud. I didn't know if it was broken or not.
I was still in pain, so I didn't have time to think about it. I lifted my head in a daze and saw the compass hit the wall. I didn't know what method the old witch had used, but the snake spirit got out of the compass.
"Hey, kid, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days, but your power has increased a lot. Anyway, why are you lying on the ground?"
The snake spirit was still a chatterbox. As soon as it came out, it chattered for a long time. Then it seemed to notice the old Gu woman. It glanced at her and then said, "Why is there another person from Miao Jiang?
Let me see your gu … Oh my God, it's the Qilin gu again! "
The snake spirit couldn't believe it. Its giant black body jerked backward as if it was scared.
"Let me tell you something first. The Qilin gu last time has nothing to do with me. If you want to take revenge, don't look for me. Just look for that kid."
The snake spirit was scared. It didn't hesitate to throw me out to be its shield.
However, the old witch's expression was strange. She looked at the snake spirit with a blank face. She looked even more shocked than the snake spirit.
After the Snake Spirit had rambled on for a long time, the Old Gu Woman slowly spat out two words.
"Dragon gu!"
Dragon gu?
What's that?
I was in great pain, and my consciousness was fading. I dizzily thought about the meaning of these two words.
"What dragon gu? I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense. I admit that I ate a small Qilin gu, but it was a coincidence. That small Qilin gu came to me and asked me to eat it. Do you think I wouldn't eat it?
You can't treat me as a gu just because I ate your small Qilin gu, right?
Pooh!
I'm a dragon, a real dragon! "
The old witch didn't care about the snake spirit. Her eyes were still fixed on the snake spirit. She mumbled to herself, "A dragon gu that can form a yin spirit … How could it be?
How could it be?! "
After mumbling for a long time, the old witch seemed to have made up her mind. She opened her mouth and said, "It seems it's not a legend. It's real!
Kid, I don't care how you got this dragon gu yin spirit. You people from the Central Plains talk about fate. Although I'm from the Miao Tribe, I believe in fate.
I thought I would never have a chance. Who would have thought that I would meet you here?
I wanted to kill you, but now, I can't. I have to plant the Qilin gu in you, the real Qilin gu! "
Then, the old witch walked toward me. She reached out her hand and lifted me to President Xu's desk. Then, she took off her clothes in front of me!
However, she only took off the dark blue robe that she was wearing on the surface, and then she stopped moving.
Before I could react, blood gushed out of her mouth. Then, she stooped and vomited blood. Each mouthful of blood landed on the dark blue robe she had taken off earlier.
In the end, she even vomited pieces of dark red meat. It looked disgusting and strange.
I didn't know how long she had vomited. Anyway, the dark blue robe was soaked in blood. It had a strange dark red hue, and there was a layer of sticky meat paste on it.
After doing all that, she threw the robe in her hands onto me!
The robe seemed to shrink automatically. After she threw it at me, it wrapped around me and shrank continuously.
