Chapter 0, Section 43. The True Power of the Clairvoyant Eye
Previously, due to the vast difference in realms between herself and Qiu Qianyue, Gu Feiyan, who had been unable to unleash her full abilities, was already seething with anger. Now, with two bounty hunters at the peak of the Hidden Weapon Realm suddenly appearing, she couldn’t help but feel eager to test her mettle.
Gu Feiyan pointed at the older man in white and said, “I’ll take care of this one. You guys can handle the other. No problem?”
“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Gu,” Qin Gou and the others replied.
The older man raised an eyebrow and walked towards Gu Feiyan, sneering, “My name is Wei Baokai. Today, I am fortunate enough to have three lives to properly experience the ‘masterful moves’ of the Third Young Lady of the Seed Demon Sacred Cult.” He deliberately emphasized the tone of ‘masterful moves,’ making his words seem pregnant with meaning.
This was a common stereotype of Demonic Sect women. Among them, disciples of the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace were perhaps the most misunderstood, with many assuming they were all promiscuous sluts available to anyone. However, this was not the case. To become a ‘cauldron,’ one needed indispensable qualifications in terms of aptitude, appearance, and character, as a pair of Mystic Maidens and cauldrons would be bound to each other for a long time and could not be easily replaced.
Gu Feiyan naturally understood the teasing tone in Wei Baokai’s words. She immediately circulated her spiritual power throughout her body, activating her Natal Spirit Tool, the Clairvoyant Eye. A faint pinkish-white light almost filled her entire eyes. With a delicate cry, she shouted, “Armor Break!”
Wei Baokai’s white mage robe instantly tore apart, scattering like strips of tattered silk in the wind. The dignified cultivator at the peak of the Hidden Weapon Realm was completely exposed to the air.
Wei Baokai reacted extremely quickly, and green spiritual energy immediately enveloped his body, shielding his vital areas. “Damn it, my robe! You wicked woman, how dare you!” As he spoke, a dark light flashed in Wei Baokai’s hand, and he conjured a silver staff that reached his eyebrows out of thin air.
“Wicked woman, prepare to die!” Wei Baokai, burning with rage, thrust the silver staff directly at Gu Feiyan’s face.
“Heart Break.”
Gu Feiyan muttered softly, pushing the Clairvoyant Eye to its limits. The pinkish hue in her beautiful eyes became as concentrated as that of a rabbit’s. She then easily dodged Wei Baokai’s attack.
Wei Baokai’s staff smashed into the ground with a thunderous ‘boom,’ causing the earth to instantly collapse into a deep pit. The staff-shaped Natal Spirit Tool seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, making it impossible to resist.
However, from this moment on, every subsequent attack by Wei Baokai was easily evaded by Gu Feiyan. She moved with elegant grace, like a soaring crane, as if she could see through Wei Baokai’s next move and anticipate it.
Gradually, Wei Baokai’s spiritual power became increasingly depleted, and he was covered in injuries. He could no longer sustain the energy to conceal his private parts and was finally killed by Gu Feiyan, who was completely unharmed, with a dark whip that mercilessly snapped his neck.
After dealing with Wei Baokai, Gu Feiyan cast a concerned glance at the still fierce battle between Qin Gou and the others. She then retrieved a straight spear from her Nas, targeted her opportunity, infused it with spiritual power, and hurled it fiercely in one direction.
The white-clothed youth fighting with Qin Gou and the others was rapidly retreating to avoid Hu Yin’s massive nail-shaped Natal Spirit Tool. Suddenly, he heard a sharp whistling sound beside his ear. A sharp spear flew directly through his chest, piercing him and pinning him to the ground.
“Senior Sister Gu!”
It was then that Gu Feiyan slowly returned to their side.
Qin Gou couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is the true power of the Clairvoyant Eye? Eye-type Spirit Tools are truly enviable.”
Gu Feiyan chuckled in amusement, “It’s simple precognition, and it can only lock onto one target at a time. And all of this requires a certain cost from me.”
“Cost?” Qin Gou asked, confused.
Gu Feiyan nodded lightly. The pinkish hue in her beautiful eyes quickly returned to normal. Then, under everyone’s gaze, two streams of blood flowed from Gu Feiyan’s eyes, making them shudder.
Gu Feiyan closed her eyes gently and said helplessly, “I won’t be able to see for the next few days. Even with my eyes open, everything will be pitch black.”
Liu Ying immediately took out a clean white handkerchief. Qin Gou took the handkerchief from her and gently wiped the teardrops of blood from Gu Feiyan’s tender face. With a gentle smile, he said, “It’s okay. We’ll handle the next few days.”
Sensing that it was Qin Gou, not Liu Ying, who was wiping her face, Gu Feiyan paused but did not pull away. She lightly bit her red lips and said, “Our whereabouts seem to have been completely exposed. Do you have any good ideas?” As she spoke, Gu Feiyan took out the map scroll depicting the location of the Forget Self Secret Realm from her Nas and handed it to Qin Gou.
Qin Gou took the map and pondered for a moment. “Let’s change our route immediately and disguise ourselves. Otherwise, we’ll be pestered to death by those ‘dynastic hyenas’ all the way.”
“Disguise? You’re the best at that. We’ll do as you say,” Gu Feiyan playfully teased.
…
Two days later.
Two carriages traveled through the forest, a large banner fluttering in the wind, inscribed with the four characters “Little Qin Money House.”
Hu Le and Hu Yin, disguised as burly middle-aged men, were driving the carriages.
Liu Ying and Gu Feiyan had not only changed their appearances but also their clothing, which had become quite gaudy, making them look like a mature and a young maidservant.
As for Qin Gou himself, although his appearance had not changed much, he had changed into a white princely robe, his hat inlaid with luminous pearls, and he held a folding fan painted with landscapes. He looked exactly like a young master from a wealthy family.
“Little Qin, what are you doing?” Gu Feiyan asked with her eyes closed, bored.
Qin Gou, holding a copy of the Azure Emperor Painting Scroll, looked up and said, “Studying a secret manual.”
“You’re truly diligent. How is your progress?” Gu Feiyan asked curiously.
“I’ve managed to enter the second level so far,” Qin Gou replied truthfully.
Gu Feiyan gave a wry smile, “As expected of the Enlightenment True Body, you’re truly amazing.”
Qin Gou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “This is the fifth time you’ve praised me like this in the past few days.”
Just then, a roar came from outside the carriage.
“This road is mine to open, this tree is mine to plant. If you want to pass, leave your toll!”
“Hold on, these lovely bandit guests are all mine to deal with!” Qin Gou shouted immediately.
However, Gu Feiyan grabbed his hand and squeezed it slightly, gritting her silver teeth. “Then tell me, how many times have we encountered mountain bandits in these two days? What kind of terrible route did you pick?”
