Chapter 339 Thief
Li Yunxiu's posture was not stable, and his body swayed up and down like a phantom, like an illusion condensed in the fog. As long as a slightly stronger wind blew, it would disappear on the spot.

His gaze fell on the edges of Li Yunxiu's body, and he could see that her three souls and seven spirits were now in the form of a faint mist, floating around, her fetal light was leaking but not condensing, her corpse was listless, half scattered, half solid and half unreal.

The fog did not continue to dissipate, and remained in a state of gathering and dispersing.

No longer looking at her appearance, Zuo Chen looked at Li Yunxiu's appearance.

She is indeed a beautiful girl, and her temperament is completely different from that fake girl outside.

Her eyes sparkled with light, and she was full of vitality, like a flower blooming freely. No matter who saw her, the haze in their hearts would be swept away.

The one outside, on the other hand, seemed to have lost his vitality. Even though he spoke softly, it still sounded uncomfortable.

Just by standing there, the details between the two people are completely different.

Especially after Zuo Chen gained the ability of his eyes, these details that were difficult for ordinary people to notice were infinitely magnified in his eyes.

It was like seeing two completely different people.

Before, when Zuo Chen heard other people describe him, they all said that King Xuan was the kind of man with a heroic character who would host banquets to entertain heroes from all walks of life. Now he seems a little restrained, which may be because his character has been worn down by the evil magic in his fate.

It seems that the so-called art of changing fate also has considerable drawbacks. After all, she is an evil monk, and she still takes herself as the main body. She steals other people's things for her own use. If she is asked to pretend to be the original owner, it would be a bit difficult.

"Just now I felt that the thief was unable to continue to possess my body. I thought she was temporarily tired and wanted to take a rest before continuing. I didn't expect it was your trick."

Li Yunxiu bowed slightly towards Zuo Chen and performed a standard princess salute.

"Do you know me?" Zuo Chen pointed at his nose.

Li Yunxiu nodded: "Although Yangzhou has not been involved in this great event of dominating the world, as the lord of Yangzhou, I always have many ears all over Daliang, and for a dazzling figure like you, rumors are like wind, and they will always fall into my ears."

"It's not dazzling, it's just running around in Daliang twice." Zuo Chen waved his hand: "So where did this evil way of robbing your body come from?"

Hearing this, Li Yunxiu sighed softly, "It was my lack of vigilance that ultimately led to the disaster."

Zuo Chen looked as if he was listening attentively.

"Master, do you know that there was a land immortal beside me?"

“I really don’t know.” Zuo Chen had never paid attention to the affairs of Yangzhou before, and it was good enough for him to hear about Prince Xuan.

As for the people around her, Zuo Chen really didn't know much about them.

Li Yunxiu introduced:

"I once prayed to a land fairy named Ku Po Po. She learned the art of summoning gods and could use the unfaithful command to summon thunder from the gods in the sky. She was an expert at opening the altar.

"Three months ago, I heard the news that the Holy Lotus Sect was growing stronger and stronger and several small towns were disappearing. These reports were extremely strange. I realized that there might be some big changes behind it, so I asked Granny Ku to go and take a look in person.

"As a result, after Granny Ku went to that town, she disappeared without a trace and never came back."

When Li Yunxiu said this, her originally confident and carefree smile gradually disappeared, and the expression on her face was somewhat melancholy.

The land immortals are the top masters that are hard to find in Daliang. Apart from Liu Xian who is beside King Wei of Youzhou, there are only two people, Old Lady Ku who are serving the vassal king in the mortal world.

As a result, because of such a strange sect, Li Yunxiu actually lost such a master. Naturally, she felt complicated.

"After Granny Ku disappeared, I was really confused for a while. I didn't know how to deal with that sect, and I didn't know what kind of evil ways there were that would cause a group of immortals on earth to lose contact.

"When I was at a loss, a woman suddenly appeared in Yangzhou City and recommended herself. She said that she was a disciple of Granny Ku and also had the Taoism of a land immortal.

"She claimed that she was destined to be with him. She dressed like a village woman. I sent a few experts to test her, but they all had their weapons removed in an instant. She really had the ability of a land immortal. I was so overwhelmed by the affairs of the sect at the time that I didn't have time to investigate her background. I could have asked her to stay with me for the time being and help me deal with some troubles caused by the sect.

"At the beginning, she was indeed fine. Apart from spending lavishly, she was able to complete all the tasks I assigned her. At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, she was a land immortal, so it was normal for her to want to eat and drink well.

"To be on the safe side, I asked my subordinates to conduct a thorough investigation and found that Granny Ku did have some disciples, and this eldest disciple was indeed the most capable. She was a congenital being before, and disappeared for a while. It was said that she was seeking a breakthrough, so it was normal for her to become a land immortal after returning. So I gradually put my mind at ease.

"But who would have thought that a month ago, she suddenly found me and said she had something important to report, and it was confidential."

Speaking of this, Li Yunxiu pursed her lips, as if recalling something unpleasant.

"I could sense that she had ill intentions, so I rejected her request and asked my followers to hold a ritual in advance to prevent any accidents. But when she saw that I couldn't persuade her, she actually challenged me in the palace.

"Although she is powerful, my followers are not weak either. The two sides fought back and forth, and after several people died, I finally split her head vertically in the middle." "But... I thought I won.

"One of my bodyguards went to check on her body, but she suddenly reappeared as a corpse and grabbed my wrist. The next moment, the bodyguard transformed into a woman and started fighting with the rest of my guards.

"With this strange ability, she changed bodies three times, killed all my bodyguards, and came to me again, asking me to give her my body for fun. I asked her why, but she just said it was fun. Then she put her hand on my head, and when I woke up again, she was already in my body."

After Ling Ling finished telling her story, Li Yunxiu shook her head with emotion and a wry smile on her face:

"Knowing a person but not his heart, and the other person's cultivation level is higher than mine. It's difficult, difficult."

Zuo Chen still didn't quite understand one thing:
"The other party's cultivation is not low. What methods did you use to protect your mind?"

"It can be considered a coincidence." Li Yunxiu said: "After she entered my body, I could also sense that her soul was weak. It was not easy for her to replace her body at that time. It happened that I had a treasure that helped me protect my three souls and seven spirits, so that my life and soul remained one, and she was unable to take my body immediately."

Li Yunxiu reached out from his chest, and a necklace appeared in the space of this fate.

Zuo Chen looked closely and found that it was an eight-diagram disc, which was rotating slightly.

The Bagua technique overflowed from the disc, which was a life-protecting treasure. It happened to collide with the thief's method, causing the thief to encounter a watchdog, and for a while he was unable to move away all the property of the master's family.

It can be said that it is a matter of time and fate.

"This treasure was found by one of my subordinates in a deserted ruin. I thought it was beautiful, so I carried it with me. But I never thought that this ancient artifact could have such an effect. It could preserve the last of my mind and let me barely fight against the evil."

Li Yunxiu was lucky to have obtained such a treasure to protect his mind, otherwise there would probably be no King Xuan, and only a thief who stole other people's identities would be left.

"Master, do you have anything else to ask me?"

Zuo Chen thought about it and said

"Before I entered Yangzhou, I learned that you had passed away."

"Ah! It seems my efforts back then had some effect."

When Li Yunxiu heard this, she was actually surprised.

"how do I say this?"

"I did it on purpose." Li Yunxiu said, "The thief stole my identity and might come to Kyoto to harm the people in the future, so I simply thought of a way to die with her. Unfortunately, her will is much stronger than mine, and I can't control my body at all, and I can't draw my sword to commit suicide.

"So I simply used the treasure to release her destiny for her to steal. After luring the tiger away from the mountain, I used the remaining power in my body to attack her heart, catching her off guard.

“I had pierced her heart at that time, and I thought she would die with me. Unfortunately, this person was very advanced in Taoism, and he actually used the remaining spiritual energy to repair her heart, allowing himself to maintain this half-dead state.

Li Yunxiu seemed to be talking about an outsider's story, as if the person who sacrificed her life without hesitation was not her.

This also made Zuo Chen look at Li Yunxiu twice more.

He probably knew why King Xuan was spoken of so highly outside.

This "suicide attack" was truly decisive.

And the most important thing is that she cut off her own life fragrance through this method. In this way, even if the thief left Yangzhou City and went to other places, he would be suspected by the Daliang royal family. It was like leaving a hidden pit, waiting for the thief to fall into it.

If this plan came at the cost of her own life, it would almost be a sure win.

"My body is not strong. Even if I have deep Taoist skills, I still need to take time to heal my injuries. And because the Holy Lotus followers entered the city, she was worried that she would be affected, so she simply found a hidden passage to leave. I couldn't sense what happened later."

Li Yunxiu introduced.

Having said this, she paused for a moment:
"But... that evil cultivator seems to be very interested in the corpses in the city. If I hadn't been injured and her methods were restricted, I think she might have directly climbed the tree and looked for the corpse."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chen touched his chin and thought about it for a while.

An idea came into his mind.

"Maybe there is a way to directly drive out the uninvited guest in your body."

"Please give me some advice from the Taoist priest."
