Not good, this brat has been stricken with “Death Illusion Perfume.”
Seeing Qi Lin’s red eyes, which were brimming with a sudden hatred. Wu Gu immediately noticed that something was wrong. On that tree that Qi Lin had hid in, there was a strange moss-like plant. It seemed innocuous, but it released a strong cloud of mist.
Death Illusion Perfume.
It was said that if a cultivator smelled this scent, an extremely terrible illusion would form in their minds. Generally, the person they cherished most would appear to die in front of them. Suffering this provocation, the Death Illusion Perfume would stimulate the cultivator’s brain and mind to stir intense feelings of hatred; only death could release them.
The illusion that appeared before death, thus did it receive this name.
“Nine Fingers Of Hell!!”
Qi Lin pointed a finger. Rays of demonic finger-shadows shot towards Wu Gu with formidable power. Qi Lin had only Golden Core Early Stage magical energy, which Wu Gu did not fear, but this brat had unknown abilities. Just now, he actually used a Dark Heaven magic treasure to injure her. With Wu Gu wounded, she could only use her Destined Skill All Spirits Source Return.
Wu Gu dispelled the Nine Fingers Of Hell. She shut her eyes and began chanting.
A dazzling light danced around her. Then, an immense flower bud specter blossomed, “You dare kill my senior sister, you’ll pay with your life.” Qi Lin screamed. The Heaven-shaking Bow fired the Cloud-piercing Arrow again.
“Not good!”
After this shout, Wu Gu’s expression changed, her soul seemingly on the verge of leaving her body. A boundless arrow-wind whistled towards her.
That lotus flower that Wu Gu manifested caught the Cloud-piercing Arrow.
But the power of Qi Lin’s fury far surpassed the woman’s imagination. This arrow instantly ripped apart the flower petals’ obstruction, causing the blooming flower to wither. “Sun and moon rise and fall, shuttle through the void!” Wu Gu pointed her finger and used a magic treasure.
This “Remnant Of The Void” was her strongest magic treasure, capable of devouring even Primordial Infant cultivators. No matter how abnormal Qi Lin was, he would be utterly destroyed at his current cultivation.
Wu Gu’s eyes shifted, and she pointed at Qi Lin.
A rift in space opened like a gaping maw, but her target was not Qi Lin at all. Rather, it was that Death Illusion Perfume Moss behind him. The Death Illusion Perfume Moss would instantly grow and spread the moment it came into contact with a cultivator’s magical energy, entwining without letting go. Only when it had consumed all of a cultivator’s essence-qi would it relent. Then, the cultivator would be eternally trapped in an illusion of death, unable to break free.
Only by thoroughly removing it could he be freed.
In the end, Wu Gu did not kill him. The Death Illusion Perfume Moss was devoured by the Remnant Of The Void.
At the same time, the Cloud-piercing Arrow shot past the woman’s body.
Qi Lin suddenly regained his consciousness. Upon seeing Wu Gu’s incomparably pale expression, he was shocked. Then, he saw the Heaven-shaking Bow in his hand, the magical energy of which was currently gathering endlessly like a storm. How could he not understand what had just happened.
Qi Lin promptly retracted all his thoughts and magical energy. He used the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape and caught the falling girl. “Sister Wu Gu!!”
Wu Gu was hugged by him. Her entire body was powerless. Having been wounded twice by the Dark Heaven magic treasure, she could not hold on anymore and rapidly lost consciousness, but when she heard her counterpart’s worry, she knew that she had made the right decision. “You owe me, we will need to renegotiate our deal.” Saying this, the woman fainted.
Qi Lin did not know where to laugh or cry. His Divine Intent covered the surroundings, and he wove through the rainforest with the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape. He found a stream and set the woman down by it. The two arrow wounds in her snow-white chest were appalling. Qi Lin moved his Divine Intent, and the Green Satchel Book flew out. Green light sprinkled over Wu Gu’s body. The qi that brimmed with life slowly healed her injuries. Seeing she was out of danger, Qi Lin finally sighed in relief.
“I was actually caught in an illusion!!” Qi Lin covered his forehead, a bit incredulous.
When he excavated tombs and ruins in the past, illusions were practically the most fatal of mechanisms. There was always a way to solve man-made mechanisms, except this illusion attacked the mind directly; there was no solution. Qi Lin had tasted many hardships and eventually figured out a way. Handling illusion mechanisms was something he was already quite experienced with, but he never imagined he would still be caught in one again.
When Wu Gu regained consciousness, h would ask her what happened.
Qi Lin sighed. His head ached. That illusion just now was too real. He could practically feel his senior sister’s ice-cold breath and her warm heartbeat. Although it was an illusion, to see his senior sister once again in that moment, Qi Lin found that he still missed her terribly.
He and his senior sister had excavated the Xuannü’s Heavenly Books together. Qi Lin wondered if she was unharmed, or if she had come to this Primordial World like he had.
Or perhaps…
Qi Lin shook his head and swept away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, entering a state of meditation.
…
When night fell, Wu Gu finally regained consciousness.
Qi Lin had been standing guard the entire time. Seeing her conscious, he handed her a bottle of water.
Wu Gu drank, her complexion pale. “You…Just who are you!!”
“A good person, otherwise, you would not be awake to ask me this question.” Qi Lin answered frankly.
“Hmph. If I had just been a bit more ruthless, you would not even be alive to utter this response right now.” Wu Gu sneered.
Qi Lin smiled, “Sister Wu Gu, don’t be angry. It was my wrong this time, I will apologize in any way you want.”
Wu Gu glanced at QI Lin, feeling this youth was actually quite likable.
“I saved your life, yet you nearly too mike. The debt you owe is too great.” Wu Gu grumbled.
“Sister Wu Gu, if it pleases you, when I have a boat and leave for the Eastern Sea, I am willing to hand the recipe for the Five Scents Soul Returning Powder to Elder Sister as an apology.” Qi Lin was aware of her intentions.
Wu Gu’s eyebrows rose: “Good, I did not recognize you as a little brother in vain. You are unlike other men. I did not misjudge you.”
“Of course, I have always treated all people equally, I kick everyone’s asses…”
“Huh?”
“I have always treated all people equally, I help everyone’s asses.” Qi Lin corrected.
“Do not be flippant with Elder Sister. I will prepare your boat as soon as possible.” Wu Gu said.
“I will certainly present it when the time comes.” Qi Lin sincerely promised.
Wu Gu grunted.
Qi Lin then asked about the illusion and learned about the Death Illusion Perfume Moss’ background. As it turned out, this type of moss was a type of Strange Spirit Grass that White Emperor Shaohao had specifically dispatched people to refine for sacrifices back then. This grass’ appearance was similar to moss, practically identical, but if it sensed a cultivator’s presence, it would revive and emit a qi that produced illusions.
The average Divine Name could hardly withstand it.
Back then, the Ten Shamans lead an army into Changliu. Half of them died to the Death Illusion Perfume.
“A sacrificial ground would actually use something so formidable.” Qi Lin felt this was very strange.
“Sacrifices were hallowed for the Immemorial Royal Family. What is strange about this.” Wu Gu disagreed.
Qi Lin felt something was not right. From the moment he entered Changliu, the persistent fog and the sudden illusion were all too strange. However, Qi Lin could not figure out why he felt something was wrong. He understood too little about these ruins.
“Don’t think too much about it. Since you have already encountered the Death Illusion Perfume Moss, we should soon be able to find a Luan Pill Cauldron. Let’s hurry, if we lose more time, things will be troublesome.” Wu Gu wanted to stand up, but her body was in too much pain. All of her limbs seemed about to break.
Qi Lin promptly supported her.
This was the first time Wu Gu had been so close to a man. Her earlobes could not help but burn, and inwardly, she was very vexed.
This man was too heavy-handed. It seemed there was a very important person in his heart.

…Now I’m curious about this Elder Sister..
Also:
‘and leave for the Western* Sea,’
Should be Eastern Sea, right?
Correct. Raws say “Western,” thanks for catching that.
