Chapter 715: Gong Tianhao’s Shock
Seeing his master’s worried and flustered expression, Xiao Ling immediately comforted her, “Master, calm down and listen to me!”
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Alright, Xiao Ling, I’m listening!”
Xiao Ling said, “Master, you’re worried too much. Even for immortals, blood-letting is not easy. Even when immortals bleed too much, they will lose their lives. Moreover, if our guess is correct, we’re dealing with a mortal with an immortal relic. They have a mortal body. They won’t withstand 81 days of blood-letting. Therefore, I’m more inclined to believe they didn’t know the rules of Heavenly Dao!”
Xiao Lingyu’s eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately said, “In that case, does that mean the culprit is suffering from the backlash now?”
Xiao Ling nodded and said, “If our guess is correct, yes.”
Xiao Lingyu then asked again, “What are the characteristics of a person suffering from the backlash?”
Xiao Ling shook her head and said, “There are all kinds of characteristics. A person could suddenly grow old, be seriously injured, or lose a limp. However, the most serious backlash is death.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, “If it is death, that’s fine. We don’t have to worry about it anymore. But if it’s not, how are we supposed to find this person? Xiao Ling, do you have any idea?” It was unsettling to leave this person in the dark.
Xiao Ling said, “I’m a relic spirit, and the other party has an immortal relic. If they’re suffering from the backlash of Heavenly Dao, I’ll be able to sense them.”
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “How close do you need to be to do that?”
…
Xiao Ling said, “With my current cultivation, I need to be within 1000 miles of the culprit!”
Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked with some doubt, “But when Bai Shanshan was assassinated, she was within a hundred miles from here. Xiao Ling, didn’t you sense it?”
Xiao Ling shook her head and said, “Master, I can only sense it when the culprit is suffering a backlash. Under normal circumstances, if the immortal didn’t deliberately unleash their aura, I wouldn’t be able to sense it.”
Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Oh, I see! Then Xiao Ling, what should we do now?”
Xiao Ling said, “Master, the only way now is to let me go out and stay by your side. Then, I can sense their presence.”
…
Xiao Lingyu frowned and asked with some doubt, “Do you need to be outside to sense it?”
“Yes!” Xiao Ling lowered his head slightly, feeling a little guilty. In fact, there was no need for him to go out of the space at all. He could do all these through the jade pendant around Xiao Lingyu’s neck. However, his brother said that it’d be easier to find the culprit and break their spell if Xiao Ling was out.
Plus, Xiao Ling really wanted to go out. He had been hibernating for ten thousand years already. He had spent most of it cultivating. However, after he woke up and saw the outside world, he really wanted to go out to take a look even though it would not be quite as uncomfortable outside because there wasn’t any Qi outside.
But the world outside was lively.
After Xiao Lingyu heard Xiao Ling’s words, she asked very seriously, “Then Xiao Ling, tell me, will you be in danger outside?”
Xiao Ling said, “Master, don’t worry. I won’t be in danger.”
Since his little master was so powerful, he wasn’t afraid even if there was danger. Moreover, this was just an ordinary mortal world. No one would know that he was a relic spirit.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Alright then. Xiao Ling, let me think about it first!”
“Okay!”
…
After Xiao Lingyu left, she immediately gave Gong Tianhao a call. After all, the info she had just received was too shocking. She had to tell Gong Tianhao first so that he would be on guard.
Gong Tianhao had told Xiao Lingyu to go to bed, but he was still working overtime.
While he was reading a document, he heard his phone ring. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately picked up the phone and asked with a smile, “Baby, aren’t you going to sleep? Did you miss me too much and can’t sleep?”
“Yes, I miss you!” Xiao Lingyu said in agreement. “Tianhao, I just entered the space and got very shocking news from Xiao Ling.” Her tone was serious. Even Gong Tianhao, who was thousands of miles away, could feel it. He immediately became serious and asked, “What is it?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Ling told me that the invisible person is very likely to be a reincarnated person with an immortal artifact, just like me!”
Gong Tianhao said in shock, “What?” He immediately stood up from his seat in shock. “How is this possible?” Gong Tianhao had guessed that there might be an invisible man, but he did not anticipate the culprit would possess an immortal relic like Xiao Lingyu. “Yu ‘Er, did you just say that this invisible person might be a reincarnated person with an immortal item?” Gong Tianhao wanted to confirm it again. This was too shocking.
Then again, it was already shocking that Xiao Lingyu was reborn and had an immortal relic. But now, the problem was that there was actually another person in this world who had such a lucky encounter like Xiao Lingyu.
“Right,” Xiao Lingyu said, “Tianhao, based on Xiao Ling’s analysis, this person isn’t reborn from our previous lives, but from this life.”
Gong Tianhao’s eyes widened in shock, “How… How is this possible?”
“It will explain why this person knows us so well.” Xiao Lingyu continued, “Tianhao, either this person already hates us before they were reborn, or they found out I have an immortal relic and want to snatch it away from me after they were reborn. Because he was reborn, he knew a lot about our actions!”
After the shock, Gong Tianhao quickly calmed down. He nodded and said, “Xiao Ling’s analysis is very reasonable.”
He appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn’t help but feel anxious and worried inside. If that was really the case, the culprit could harm them easily. Yu ‘Er would be in a lot of danger.
Thinking of this, Gong Tianhao’s face turned pale, “Yu ‘Er, I will return to Taoyuan Village now. I have to stay by your side every day. Regardless of whether that reincarnated person has a grudge against us or wants to steal the immortal artifact in your hands, you are in great danger. I am worried.”
He thought of how Bai Shanshan was silently killed in the hotel. He was afraid that the crazy person would use the same method to deal with Xiao Lingyu. Gong Tianhao stopped working and walked out with a coat.
Xiao Lingyu immediately comforted him, “Tianhao, wait. Xiao Ling also said that the person with the immortal item wouldn’t dare to attack a mortal.”
Gong Tianhao stopped walking and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Ling said that in the cultivation world, an immortal wouldn’t attack mortals. Otherwise, they will suffer a backlash. That is the rules of the Heavenly Dao to protect the mortals.”
After Gong Tianhao heard this, he said in doubt, “But we’re not in the cultivation world. We’re in a normal world. Is there a Heavenly Dao here?”
If there was, wouldn’t the astronauts have exposed it already?
Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Ling said the Heavenly Dao has its own model of governance. We might live in a normal world, but an immortal relic has arrived here.
“From that moment onward, the Heavenly Dao would govern this world. After all, if there were no rules, wouldn’t evil people could do anything they wanted with an immortal relic? The Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow that.”
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao were only mortals. They did not understand the rules of the cultivation world at all. However, since Xiao Ling said that the rules of the Heavenly Dao were naturally born from the moment the immortal item fell into this world, they believed in Xiao Ling.
After all, Xiao Ling had lived in the immortal world for thousands of years.
“But, didn’t the culprit kill Bai Shanshan?” Gong Tianhao asked curiously.
“Xiao Ling said that the invisible person who killed Bai Shanshan last time either didn’t understand the rules of the Heavenly Dao or found someone to take the backlash for them. However, finding a scapegoat is very demanding and difficult. Therefore, we’re more inclined to believe the culprit doesn’t know about the Heavenly Dao.”
“Huh?” Gong Tianhao was still confused. “Since the culprit has an immortal relic, why didn’t the relic spirit tell them about it?”
“Xiao Ling said that the relic spirit might have been damaged.” Xiao Lingyu explained, “That’s like a person losing his memory.”
Gong Tianhao immediately understood.
Then, he immediately reacted. “So that means that the person who killed Bai Shanshan is suffering from a backlash now?”
“Yes.” Xiao Lingyu said, “But the consequences vary. Xiao Ling said that all kinds of backlash characteristics could appear. The culprit could suddenly age or be seriously injured. In any case, it wouldn’t help us find them.
“However, Xiao Ling said when a person is suffering from the Dao’s backlash, their cultivation presence will be exposed. Xiao Ling can sense them if they were within a thousand miles of them.” Xiao Lingyu did not hide anything.
“Is he confident?” Gong Tianhao asked.
“Yes.” Xiao Lingyu replied, “Now we just need to think of a way to get him out!”
