Above all spirits

Could Chapter 48 be the reincarnation of an empress?

A black figure emerged from the shadows, slowly walking out of the wooden house and down the steps.

Then, Gu Yun kicked Tiger on the ground as a signal.

"Stop pretending. Seal the amputation with air to prevent death from excessive bleeding. Do you really think I can't sense it?"

Because of Bai Qing'er, Gu Yun had no good feelings towards the man at her feet.

As for other feelings...

To be honest, in Gu Yun's eyes he was already a dead man, so naturally there were no negative emotions such as murderous intent or desire to kill.

"What did you say your name was again?"

He ignored Gu Yun's two questions.

Tiger remained motionless in the pool of blood on the ground.

Just like a turtle that keeps its limbs inside its shell.

Gu Yun was slightly annoyed.

"If you don't say anything, I'll stomp on your head."

"Oh, to prevent you from experiencing intermittent amnesia due to the shock, let me help you recall that fleshy ball in the ruined wooden house you first saw was kicked by me."

"How about it, do you want to give it a try too?"

Tiger trembled and immediately cried out, he had never suffered such injustice before.

"Brother, brother, brother, please let me go. I'm in this state, please give me a way out."

As he spoke, Tiger shook his four limbs, which were now only at the base.

Gu Yun was surprised.

"You know you're in this state, how can you expect to survive? Is there anyone else coming later?"

Tiger smiled wryly.

"I...I don't know, but it's better than death. My...my lord, I just don't want to die. Please, just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Gu Yun rolled her eyes.

"Don't want to die?"

"Do these villagers want to die?"

"What did you do early?"

"You seem to value your life quite a bit. What's your name?"

Tiger said tremblingly, not daring to bargain any further.

"Tiger...Brother Tiger."

Gu Yun's expression darkened, and his voice lowered slightly.

"I asked what your name is, not your nickname."

Tiger felt a chill run down his spine and immediately began to scream and cry.

"Brother, you're really my brother. My real name is Tiger. How could I lie to you? My real name is Tiger!"

Every word came from the bottom of my heart, and it seems that only the bottom of my heart could express it.

He was genuinely afraid that Gu Yun might accidentally stomp on his head and smash it open if she got upset.

"Useless things."

What a lousy name.

Gu Yun had originally intended to ask him some questions about his identity.

I plan to use his identity to enter Lanyu City.

Forget it, the name is too awkward.

Let's just go for a brute-force push.

Gu Yun is not the protagonist of a world-shattering beginning, and he doesn't need to worry about this or that.

In the lower realm, as long as the grudges do not involve the upper realm, there are generally no major problems.

As for whether his identity as a demon would be exposed, he would try his best to conceal it if he could avoid trouble, but he was not a person who was afraid of trouble.

Gu Yun then shook his head, showing no interest in asking any further questions.

He turned and walked toward the wooden cart cage that held many women.

The wood used to construct the cage's pillars did not seem to be ordinary wood. Each pillar appeared to have faint red flowing patterns imprinted on it, which should be a kind of spirit-forging technique from the lower realm.

To be honest, I originally went to the craftsman's shop to learn spirit forging, but by a twist of fate I learned how to analyze and construct powers. Although the purpose was the same, my cheap master didn't mention it at all.

Really speechless.

However, this method is naturally insufficient against innate Qi.

In the lower realms, there are few things that innate energy cannot resolve.

The golden light moved as it pleased.

"Click, click, click."

The wooden cage shattered with a crack.

The women in the cages, whose eyes had been lifeless, were drawn back to their senses by the loud noises and stared blankly at the handsome man in black before them.

It seems unreal.

Gu Yun spoke expressionlessly.

"I sympathize with what you've been through, but that's all. The choices you make afterward are your own to decide, and I won't help you any further."

He pointed to a pile of valuables that the Sand Tiger Gang had looted and hoarded.

"The incident has already occurred here. Staying here will only lead to certain death. If you want to carry on with the hope of your deceased loved ones and persevere in living, you can take any of the jewelry and money over there and leave."

"Those who believe life has no meaning and are determined to die, stay here, and I will see them off."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the wooden house where Bai Qing'er was.

That's all I have to say.

Gu Yun is not the pushover that Tiger Brother defines him to be.

The women stared at Gu Yun's black-clad figure for a long while, stunned.

As one of the women realized what was happening and stepped off the cart, they all came to terms with reality.

They were saved.

Some people followed Gu Yun's advice and left the foot of the mountain with enough wealth to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, while others simply took back their own belongings and left.

There were two or three people left, who seemed to be just as Gu Yun had said, and they no longer intended to live. They hoped that Gu Yun would keep his promise and send them on their way.

And all these women, who were about to embark on different paths in life, did the same thing at that moment, without prior arrangement.

He kowtowed and knelt before Gu Yun's retreating figure.

They do not have memory gaps.

A lifeless gaze simply means resignation to fate and a loss of hope for the future.

All the women locked in the cages had witnessed everything that had just happened.

and so.

Gu Yun now.

For them.

Like a god.

"Boom boom boom——"

Gu Yun knocked on the wooden pillar to indicate that he had arrived.

Bai Qing'er had stopped crying at this moment, whether because her tears had dried or because she had accepted it.

The swollen, red eyes have replaced the original positions of the two braids.

"Brother, you've come. Mother has already passed away, hasn't she?"

Gu Yun nodded patiently, trying to comfort her.

"Yes, don't worry, she went to another world where there is no war and no killing."

Bai Qing'er pouted.

"Didn't my brother say there is no heaven?"

Gu Yun approached, squatted down, and gently flicked Bai Qing'er's fair and tender forehead.

"But I never said there was no other world. I am from another world."

Bai Qing'er clearly didn't believe it and didn't know what another world was, thinking that Gu Yun was just comforting her.

He forced a smile and said.

"Can you take me to another world to find my mother someday, brother?"

Gu Yun understood, rubbed Bai Qing'er's little head, and chuckled as he scolded her.

He asked, somewhat curiously.

"You're so young but so clever! How old are you this year?"

Could she be the reincarnation of an empress?

Bai Qing'er scratched her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Eight years old."

Having noticed nothing unusual, Gu Yun said she didn't want to think about it any further.

"Okay, I'll take you to another world sometime."

"So what are you going to do next? What are your plans?"

Gu Yun then asked, intending to hear Bai Qing'er's own thoughts.

Bai Qing'er glanced at her mother, then at Gu Yun, and stammered.

"I want to bury Mother first, so could I trouble you one last time, brother? Then... then Qing'er can prepare to leave here on her own."
