"I understand your feelings. To be honest, I want to leave, not because I'm afraid... I have very few relatives left now. I'm not afraid of death; I'm only afraid of dragging you down, just like this time... I not only failed to protect the Death Apostle as you instructed, but I even got taken away myself..." With that, Hu Fang raised her hand as if to slap her own face.
Seeing this, I quickly grabbed her hand. "How can you blame yourself for this? It's not your fault! The real culprits are those people from Yang Master. If they weren't committing such heinous acts and plotting to harm others for their own hidden agendas, would we really have to live in such fear? We must eliminate them to truly find peace. Even if it's not for the sake of the people, we must do it for ourselves. Hu Fang, trust me, I will find a way to get rid of Yang Master!" I spoke with determination.
I wasn't just trying to comfort Hu Fang; this was my true feeling. The people from Yang Master had harmed us too severely. It was hard to quell the anger in my heart without completely eradicating them.
However, with our current fighting strength, we couldn't even protect ourselves without relying on others, let alone eliminate Yang Master...
Thinking about this, I gritted my teeth in frustration at my own lack of power. "If only I had Gu Kai's strength, I would have probably flattened Yang Master by now!"
Death Apostle, who had been listening to my muttering, sighed and said, "We have indeed witnessed Gu Kai's power firsthand; it is incredibly formidable. But have you considered that what we see now might be all that Yang Master has?"
"Isn't it?" I replied. "As far as I know, there are nine Void Gods in total. Four of Yin Master's Void Gods are already dead, and three from Yang Master have also fallen. In other words, there should only be one Void God left in Yang Master now. Furthermore, that last Void God could possibly be the Void Spirit within me. Every time Gu Kai sees the Void Spirit inside me, he refers to it as a Void God. However, based on its power level, I can't believe that the Void Spirit within me is actually a Void God..."
"Exactly. It's precisely because the last Void God of Yang Master has yet to reveal himself that we should remain vigilant... Perhaps his strength is far beyond our current understanding," Death Apostle remarked.
"Yes, you make a valid point. Let's just keep our guard up," I said as I glanced at Hu Fang again; she still looked somewhat dejected. "Alright, Hu Fang, no one blames you for anything. I know you want to help us; in fact, you've already helped us a lot without realizing it. If it weren't for you taking care of things at home, honestly, I wouldn't even dare to go out."
Upon hearing this, Hu Fang looked at me with some disbelief and asked for confirmation, "Really?"
"Of course!" I replied firmly.
After hearing this, Hu Fang's mood improved slightly. We chatted about some trivial topics along the way until we returned home.
Once inside, we sat on the sofa. Since the television was broken, we had no choice but to talk for a while. As time passed and considering that the three of us hadn't rested well lately, we eventually went back to our rooms to rest.
I returned home, took off my clothes, and checked the mark on my arm. Although it hadn't reached a critical point yet, it was still quite dangerous. If I had continued to use my power at that moment, I would have likely turned into a wandering spirit by now.
Despite feeling a bit shaken, I realized that the time it took to awaken the Void Spirit had increased significantly compared to before, and my strength had also improved.
"Could it be that Jiang Ling constantly absorbing my blood and power caused the Void Spirit's strength and my physical stamina to deplete too quickly, leading to the rapid growth of the mark?" I pondered alone at my desk, trying to make sense of it all.
After some thought, I got up and retrieved the Sheepskin Book from where I had placed it. I wanted to see if recording what had happened previously would help eliminate the mark, considering that spirit was likely some kind of ghost.
After a while, I documented the previous incident in the Sheepskin Book. As I drew the final period, the mark on my hand indeed began to slowly fade, accompanied by a burning sensation.
Moments later, the burning feeling subsided. Although the mark hadn't diminished much—only about seven or eight centimeters—it was still something. "Well, better than nothing," I muttered to myself as I put away the Sheepskin Book and then lay down on my bed, falling asleep immediately.
The next morning, with the Golden Rooster crowing three times, I climbed out of bed. As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Death Apostle already awake, sitting on the sofa and looking at her phone. I approached her and said, "Good morning! Are we heading to Yunpo Mountain soon?"
"Yes, let's hurry. But this time we must take Hu Fang with us; it's too unsafe to leave her alone at home," Death Apostle replied.
"I know; I'll definitely bring her along. But for now, since she hasn't woken up yet, I'm going out to buy some things. You two can wash up and prepare something to eat; I'll be back shortly." With that, I put on my jacket and prepared to head out.
Seeing this, Death Apostle quickly asked, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
I thought to myself that if I went to buy some jujubes for the old man at Mountain, she definitely wouldn't believe me. It was better not to say anything. So I replied, "You'll find out later." With that, I left on my own.
Once outside, I headed straight for the fruit and vegetable market. Upon arriving at the market, I spotted someone selling jujubes who had just pulled up in a van. I hurriedly stopped him and decided to buy out his entire stock of jujubes as a way of fulfilling my promise to that old man.
After that, I had the vendor of Jujubes take me to the rental house on the outskirts of the city. Once I picked up Hu Fang and Death Apostle, I instructed the driver to head towards Yunpo Mountain.
On the way, I sat alone in the front seat while Hu Fang and Death Apostle occupied the back. Noticing my mysterious demeanor and my reluctance to share what I had purchased, Death Apostle leaned forward and asked the driver, "Hey, what do you have in this car?"
The middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty, replied cheerfully while driving, "Jujubes! This brother here bought out my entire stock of Jujubes. It saved me a lot of trouble."
"A whole car full of Jujubes?!" Death Apostle exclaimed, leaning closer with a look of surprise. "Shen Xu, what are you planning?! Are you going to set up a Jujube farm in the mountains?"
"I don't really know how to explain it," I said. "I promised an old man on Yunpi Mountain that I would buy him a whole cartload of Jujubes. So here I am, fulfilling that promise."
After hearing this, Death Apostle looked even more confused. He shook his head and returned to his seat, muttering to himself, "An old man wants to eat a whole cart of Jujubes? How anemic is he to need that many Jujubes for blood replenishment..."
After that, we fell silent for the rest of the journey. The car drove for over an hour before finally reaching the vicinity of Yunpo Mountain. Based on previous experience, I instructed the driver to pull over by the roadside. Then I got out of the car and headed towards Yunpo Mountain...
