He Xingyao's situation is far more dangerous than you realize.

The retreat of that Golden Core cultivator was just the beginning.

Soon, a large number of Golden Core cultivators arrived in pursuit.

You are feeling the pressure.

Chapter 142 Vitality and Apoptosis

These golden cores are no different from normal golden cores.

[They used the guise of acting on behalf of Heaven to try and exterminate all members of the Thousand Machines Sect.]

He Xingyao was the last target.

At first, they were somewhat wary of your identity.

As time goes on, your identity becomes increasingly less useful.

[And both Longhu Mountain and the Celestial Masters are constantly urging you to stay away from He Xingyao.]

You pressed them for details, but received no response.

In your judgment, He Xingyao is trustworthy.

[Unless your perception has been unknowingly clouded.]

You're in a bit of a dilemma.

"Daosheng, you should leave."

He Xingyao leaned against the tree trunk, staring blankly at Daosheng.

Despite Daosheng's help over this period of time, her situation has not improved at all. In fact, she has even dragged Daosheng into being hunted down by those cultivators.

"Walk?

Where else can I go?

Longhu Mountain has already severed ties with me, and my fellow disciples and even elders are probably on their way.

You should really get some rest.

Dao Sheng shook his head. If Qianji Sect was innocent, then why would the person behind it go to such lengths to target Qianji Sect?

In the previous battle, He Lianxiong's strength was not top-notch.

Logically speaking, there should be even better goals.

How could it be the Thousand Machines Sect?

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

He Xinyao was feeling down.

She is determined to vindicate the Thousand Machines Sect, but to this day, she doesn't even know where to begin.

The Thousand Machines Sect disappeared too quickly. My father clearly had the strength to fight back, yet he made such a choice in a very short time.

He Xingyao had already tried to find the sect's whereabouts.

But all the methods she knew failed without exception.

The Thousand Machines Sect is like a smoothed-out sand painting, leaving not a trace in this world.

Instead of wasting time saying these things, why don't you think carefully about whether the Thousand Machines Sect is hiding something?

These cultivators persisted, but never quite managed to kill him outright.

It's like casting a long line to catch a big fish.

There's a high probability that the Thousand Machines Sect contains something that will interest them.

"The legacy of the Thousand Machines Sect?"

Besides that, I don't seem to have anything valuable on me.

But I only have a part of it.

"Surely it's not worth having so many people chasing after me?"

He Xingyao deduced for a long time, but still couldn't find anything possible.

"Is it possible... it's something else?"

Daosheng took a gemstone, the size of a pomegranate seed, from his neck.

This was something He Xingyao gave him when she went up the mountain to escape disaster.

Over the years, Daosheng had long forgotten the existence of this gem.

Just now, he suddenly noticed that He Xingyao's bracelet seemed to be missing a gemstone.

"Surely...no way?"

He Xingyao looked uncertainly at the gemstone that Daosheng handed her.

The bracelet on her wrist was nothing more than a magical artifact with slightly larger storage space.

Moreover, this bracelet has been in this state ever since her father gave it to her.

It doesn't seem to have much to do with that gem.

"Let's try it first and see."

He urged him on.

Previously, due to my limited strength, I was unable to discern what this gemstone actually was.

Even now, at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he still can't tell the difference.

The gem was so ordinary that, in his perception, it looked just like a stone.

But his intuition told him that this thing wasn't that simple.

He Xingyao then placed the gemstone onto the bracelet.

In an instant, everything around them seemed to freeze.

A magnificent city stood before them.

The city, both inside and out, exudes a puppet-like atmosphere.

Being in it, everything seems real yet unreal, making it difficult to distinguish.

"where is this place?

"Your Thousand Machines Sect's unique secret realm?"

Daosheng gently touched his surroundings, but even he couldn't distinguish between what was real and what was fake.

Even though the puppet that walked past him felt entirely artificial, in his divine sense it was a living, breathing person.

"I am not sure as well.

My father never mentioned this matter.

However, I think I can control this place.

He Xingyao shook her head, then gently moved her fingers, and the entire city began to change rapidly under her control.

"Imprisonment, suppression, and a legacy never before seen."

The city has far more functions than expected.

It can definitely be called a magic artifact.

"Wait a minute, what's that?"

Within this city, you've discovered a vibrant, alive atmosphere.

[It felt different from the deathly stillness outside.]

[The moment you sensed it, your consciousness seemed to leap with joy.]

This thing seems to be the opposite of the gloomy aura.

Following your discovery, He Xingyao thoroughly searched the entire city.

Almost every puppet possessed a similar aura.

This may be the key to their vibrant life.

You try to capture this aura, but no matter what methods you use, it always manages to escape.

You tried for a long time, but finally chose to give up.

[He Xingyao, like many others, was unable to control the flow of this aura, as if it originally belonged to this city and had become one with it.]

However, the appearance of this thing also proves one thing.

Those who are pursuing him are probably not as virtuous and righteous as they seem.

The moment you left the city, a faint aura of decay emanated from He Xingyao.

The feeling of impending death was particularly pronounced compared to He Xingyao's vibrant body.

There are no changes to you at all.

[You sensed the changes in the heavens and earth; a vast amount of divine sense swept across the land. You knew in your heart that it was time to escape again.]

This time, you easily evaded the pursuit of the Golden Core cultivators, carrying He Xingyao with you.

You suddenly realize that the faint aura emanating from He Xingyao has been revealing your location.

He Xingyao seemed to have used her body to confirm what she had said before.

The other party has already subtly and secretly controlled a considerable number of people.

But why haven't you been affected?

Moreover, the other fellow disciples on Longhu Mountain seemed unaffected.

Those senior brothers and elders who claimed they were hunting you down were almost all from the group operating outside.

Could the protective array of Longhu Mountain possibly block the invasion of this aura?
