Black Tide

Is everything alright?

What's going on?

What kind of thing is so insidious, creating illusions within illusions for me!

Meanwhile, the River of Oblivion, directly opposite the bow of the boat, began to churn with black waves.

The floating waves were not anything else, but countless twisted and writhing ghostly hands. Without close inspection, the dense black ghostly hands resembled waves of pitch black.

Just one glance was enough to make Su Yi feel nauseous, because this black tide was so inhuman.

The countless ghostly hands, resembling maggots, caused Su Yi's sanity to plummet, making her somewhat psychologically uncomfortable.

"What is this thing?" Su Yi took two steps back, still feeling a bit scared. She asked, her voice trembling with fear.

The Qingzhou governor, whose body radiated the power of incense and vows, calmly answered while suppressing the countless ghostly hands with the power of incense: "This is a unique black tide in the River of Oblivion, formed from countless resentments. I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, kid, that you've stumbled upon a black tide that only appears once every ten years or so."

Kuroshio? What Kuroshio? There's no mention of it in "Immortal Path"!

Feeling like she'd been tricked by the planner Sima again, Su Yi was about to angrily curse the planner's fountain once more.

What bad luck! I ran into the Kuroshio Current, which only happens once every ten years or so.

Su Yi, who was lamenting her bad luck, suddenly realized that her encounter with the Black Tide might not be a coincidence.

Luck my ass! It must have been because I was staring at the River of Oblivion in front of me that my unlucky mythical talent kicked in.

Su Yi gave a wry smile. His own mythical talent could influence the Immortal Sword, so it could naturally influence the resentment imprisoned in the River of Oblivion.

Although it wasn't in a closed space, it only slightly increased the favorability rating. For a resentful spirit that had been imprisoned in the River of Oblivion for countless years, silently waiting for its demise, this was still a significant boost.

Su Yi was like a ray of light standing above them!

After countless years of despair, seeing a single ray of light could drive the resentment in the River of Oblivion to madness.

This mythical talent, "Innate Allure," is too powerful. It can even influence the resentment of the dead. It's supermodel, truly supermodel. I almost got surpassed by the resentment!

Su Yi wiped the cold sweat from her face, composed herself, and looked at Gu Wanquan, saying, "Wanquan, guess who I just saw?"

Gu Wanquan, having sheathed his sword, released Su Yi's hand and asked without hesitation, "Senior Brother, have you seen Junior Sister Wen?"

"Huh? You... how did you know?" Su Yi asked in astonishment.

Gu Wanquan spoke with a warm smile, "I wasn't involved in the sect's attack. But if we're just looking at it from an outsider's perspective, Junior Sister Wen, who left, must be connected to the attack, right?"

"Although I didn't see my senior brother's amazing dance, I have heard of that blood moon. It's from Thousand Ghost Valley, one of the Seventy-Two Forbidden Lands."

"Since you were able to tell me who you saw, I must know the person you saw in the illusion just now."

"After leaving Junior Sister Wen, in the Thousand Ghost Valley, the River of Oblivion filled with resentment, I, Senior Brother, encountered another old acquaintance. Besides Junior Sister Wen, I can't think of anyone else!"

I'm awesome!

Could it be you?! Detective Edogawa Gu Wanquan!

It was just a few words from him, yet Gu Wanquan was able to guess that it was Wen Daoyi.

The only meta pick in the early game was really smart!

Why didn't you share even a fraction of that brilliant mind with that desperate Demon Lord Yin the Mute?

The developers are so unfair!

Seeing Su Yi's shocked expression, Gu Wanquan's originally warm smile became even brighter. He slightly bowed and glanced at the gradually calming Wangchuan River before him, asking, "Senior brother, if we see this Junior Sister Wen again, should we cripple her cultivation and bring her back to the sect, or kill her on the spot?"

Su Yi subconsciously wanted to laugh. That was the Great Love Immortal Lord who would lead the evil path to destroy the world in the future, yet he was being talked about as if he were just some random person on the roadside.

But looking at Gu Wanquan in front of her, Su Yi couldn't bring herself to smile.

Compared to the future Great Love Immortal Lord, the one before us seems even more like a supermodel, possessing the inheritance of a sword immortal, and will be hailed as the sword immortal of our time in the future.

But no one could have imagined that the strongest one was not the swordsman, but the true form of the white python that had never been shown to anyone before!

It seems that Gu Wanquan in front of him really has the right to say such a thing.

Su Yi thought for a moment and then said, "We're fellow disciples, each with our own destiny. If we meet again, let's just consider it a missed opportunity!"

Hearing Su Yi's words, Gu Wanquan, who had been all smiles, sighed helplessly. Looking at Su Yi, he spoke for the first time, saying, "Senior brother, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"

Su Yi looked at Gu Wanquan, signaling him to continue.

Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi seriously and said, "Senior brother, you are too soft-hearted. In the path of cultivation, if one's heart is too soft and one's resolve to pursue the Dao is not firm, it is very dangerous!"

Gu Wanquan had been observing Su Yi's overly kind nature ever since she joined the sect.

From beginning to end, Gu Wanquan believed that if Su Yi continued with this personality, she was destined to suffer a major setback in the future.

He said this very seriously, and Su Yi almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

If we're not brothers, do you really think I'm soft-hearted just because I said a few nice words?

Do you think your Su Ge (Brother Su) got the title of "Newcomer King" on his knees?

If you guys weren't all so inhuman, would I need to be so careful?

"We're from the same sect, it shouldn't be that ugly, right?" Su Yi asked tentatively.

Gu Wanquan did not answer, but his warm smile remained unchanged.

Alright, Su Yi understood, and silently wished Wen Daoyi good luck in her heart.

Suddenly, Su Yi had a thought and changed the subject, asking, "What if, just in case, I mean, just in case, that person is me?"

Gu Wanquan's expression stiffened, his warm smile faded slightly, and he paused before saying, "Senior brother, it's best not to make jokes like this."

"Hey, isn't that what storybooks always say? It's like brothers who used to be close disciples turned against each other with swords drawn. This kind of plot has been written to death in storybooks!" Su Yi said nonchalantly.

Gu Wanquan did not answer, but looked at the black tide that surged like a tide.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "If it were then, we would each have our own difficulties, so please, Senior Brother, don't hold back!"

Upon hearing Gu Wanquan's words, Su Yi, who had originally been testing whether the white-robed swordsman would kill her, was overjoyed.

My strategy over the past few months has definitely paid off!

Hey, you've softened your heart. This heartless Gu Latiao might just become the ruthless sword immortal who wipes out an entire sect with a single sword strike.

At least they didn't just chop off their own dog's head outright, so why not try to win them over?

Su Yi feigned a sigh and said, "If they truly each have their own difficulties, then I might not be able to bring myself to do it!"

Gu Wanquan turned to Su Yi and asked, "So, what are your preparations, Senior Brother?"

Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "I will hide somewhere where no one can find me, and then live the rest of my life in anonymity."

Gu Wanquan didn't speak, but he felt inexplicably irritated.

Whether it was Su Yi's indecisiveness or her avoidance of battle, Gu Wanquan himself couldn't tell.
