C1495 Awakening

The amulet glowed gold and silver, like two balls of flowing light. It looked gorgeous; the drop of blood was a red ruby floating in front of Lin Bai, looking incredibly beautiful. On the back of Lin Bai's right hand, the tattoos of the Herculean script and the Blue Lotus were becoming more solid and clear.

It had to be said that this Divine Protection Talisman was truly strange. Lin Bai couldn't understand just what method was used to refine it. It could actually directly penetrate a person's body and directly enter their divine soul.

According to the incomplete memories in his head, the Qi Refining Method of the Three Flowers Gathering seemed to have long been lost in the world. How could there be an Earth Flower that was close to the smallpox realm?!

According to what the Corpse Cat had said, this Divine Protection Talisman seemed to be extremely implicated. Moreover, this item was extremely magical, especially in the area of protecting one's consciousness, it had an extremely strong effect. It could be given to An Lun to wear on his person, allowing her to avoid the calamity that had befallen her since then.

As he thought of this, Lin Bai could not help but raise his head to look at that bright red bead of blood. Joy also appeared on his face. Although he had experienced a lot of twists and turns, and had not been able to figure out the doubts in his heart, in the end, he still managed to snatch the Blood Attraction from Lil 'Yi.

Compared to Lun's life, even though those questions were important, it didn't count for much. The reason for this was simple, because the mystery would one day unravel, but he only had one life left. And now, A-Wen was the one he had to protect!

If he couldn't get Blood Attraction back, if he couldn't wake An Ran up, Lin Bai would never be able to forgive himself.

"Kacha!" After a moment of silence, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and searched through the incomplete memories in his head for a secret technique related to the Blood Drawing Arts. He opened his eyes and formed a sword technique with his right hand, lightly pointing at the Blood Drawing Arts that was still circling in the air.

He lifted his right hand, and as soon as he did, a misty mist appeared along the back of his hand. Like a cloud, it wrapped tightly around the droplet of blood, and as if it was blown by a breeze, it entered the space between his eyebrows with extreme gentleness, like the gentle caress of a lover's hand.

"Qi as the root, blood as the base, spirit as the guide, blood as the guide, blood as the exit, spirit as the reset …" Just as the Essence Fog wrapped around Blood Attraction and was about to touch his forehead, Lin Bai's hand seals suddenly changed as he began chanting a profound incantation. His eyes turned cold as he softly shouted out, "Faster!"

The moment his voice fell, the Essence Qi mist and Blood Conduction instantly seeped into the space between his eyebrows, and just like a clay ox entering the sea, they disappeared without a trace. Following the flow of his body, countless fine blood-red lines suddenly appeared, and then spread out at an extremely strange speed, following the patterns on his meridians, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Done!" Lin Bai let out a sigh of relief and revealed a slight smile on his face. Then, he slowly walked in front of Ah Run, raised two of his fingers, and connected them with the vein on He Run's wrist. After he absorbed a sliver of Fa Li, his face became slightly cold, and then he spoke out with his tongue rippling with thunder, "Ah Run, wake up!"

As soon as his voice fell, An Lu's originally unconscious face, as if he had received some sort of shock, suddenly shrunk. Then, his round eyes, like apricot cores, slowly opened, and after he clearly saw everything in front of him, the little girl burst into tears and threw herself into Lin Bai's arms.

Although following Lin Bai could be considered as having seen some unimaginable things, those things still didn't happen to him. Now that Blood Attraction had been captured by the Corpse Cat, he was truly terrified.

"It's okay, it's okay. Lun, don't be afraid. With Brother Mu Mu here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Seeing this, Lin Bai gently patted the little girl's head and said warmly, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine. Nothing will happen again."

"Brother Mu Mu, I thought I won't be able to see you again." It was better if Lin Bai didn't comfort her. This consolation made the little girl cry even harder. She looked at Lin Bai with tears and snot running down her face as she muttered, "Brother Mu, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"It's not a dream. Our little Aruno is so lucky. Nothing will happen to him." Hearing this, Lin Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the matter today had truly frightened this little fellow. Otherwise, he would not have lost his composure like this.

After being comforted by Lin Bai, the little girl finally calmed down a little. No matter what, with A-Wen's age, this was a child's time. As long as a person was well and proper, how could he know how to write the word 'afraid'?

"Brother Mu Mu, what happened to Grandma?" After An Lun settled down, he felt a faint stench in the air. It continued to invade his nose. Following the smell, he saw Grandma Zhu lying on the ground.

"Granny accidentally lost her life for the sake of the stronghold. We have to properly miss out on her kindness." As the Yin Qi dispersed, Lin Bai took a look at the corpse, which had already started to look completely different. He could not help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart.

According to the Skeleton Cat's narration and his own deduction, Lin Bai had roughly understood the reason why Grandma Zhu was possessed by the Skeleton Cat. In truth, the death of Grandma Zhu and the things that happened to Soo Soo was probably a coincidental sacrifice.

For some reason, the Corpse Cat had barged into the stronghold. When Matriarch Zhu was young, she was used as a Corpse Chaser. Her body was tainted with a corpse aura, which coincidentally allowed her to be detected by the Corpse Cat. The Corpse Cat's methods were extremely vicious. Although Grandma Zhu Gui could be considered one of the oddities, how could she be able to do anything to the Corpse Cat's methods?

This battle naturally resulted in the defeat of Soo Soo. However, the Yin Qi that was emitted from their fight alarmed Soo Soo who was entangled with the events of the moon. It was a coincidence that Soo Soo's soul was invaded by the Yin Qi. If the Corpse Cat wanted to lurk in the stronghold, Soo Soo would naturally not reveal this matter. In order to hide the truth, it planted a hair Gu on Soo Soo's body.

Although the cultivation of the Gu poison was taxing, it was still a matter of interaction with ordinary people. For a Corpse Cat that possessed an immeasurable amount of Corpse Yin Qi, this could be said to be an easy task. Furthermore, the Corpse Cat had probably wanted to kill Soo Soo to keep her mouth shut because it had not planted enough Gu poison. That was why it urged the people in the stronghold to burn Soo Soo.

And at the moment when he saved Soo Soo, Lin Bai displayed an unimaginable method. His blood energy had already surged. This discovery made the zombie cat want to possess him. The curtains were slowly drawn from that moment onwards.

However, no matter what happened, according to the evaluation that Arun and Soo Soo had given of Grandma Zhu, it could be seen that this old man was truly sincere in wanting to protect the peace of the stronghold. Those foolish things were not done by her, but by the corpse cat.

The incident with the Corpse Cat was just too strange, no one would believe it even if it was told. Other than the fact that the old man had died to protect the stronghold, the only other thing left was to say that she was vicious and had plotted against him.

Lin Bai didn't want to see this matter of the old man being splashed with dirty water, and he disdained to do it. It was for this reason that Lin Bai did not want to think of any other excuse to explain the death of Grandma Zhu.

"Granny …" Hearing Lin Bai's words, A'Run's face immediately revealed a sorrowful expression. His clear tears continued to roll in his eyes. He muttered, "I knew it, I always knew it. Granny definitely wouldn't be a bad person!"

"Nanny is not a bad person, but there are bad people that used Nanny." Lin Bai patted A'Lu's head and comforted him gently. Then he said, "Let's go out and let Stone and the others come over to bury Grandma's corpse."

Previously, there had been Yin Corpse Qi, so even though Grandma Zhu was dead, her body was still able to maintain its original state. But now that the corpse cat was dead, its roots had been removed, and the Corpse Yin Qi had dissipated. It had lost its ability to feed its corpse, and the rate at which its granny's corpse was rotting had far exceeded that of ordinary corpses.

When the corpses rotted away, they would often emit some poisonous gas. Although Lin Bai had only stayed in the cemetery for a short period of time, he already noticed that the stench in the air was getting stronger and stronger. A-Run's Blood Attraction had just returned to its position, and the throbbing inside his soul had not calmed down yet. This was the moment where he would easily be invaded by the Evil Qi. If he were to stay here any longer, there might be some kind of accident.

Furthermore, the dead were the leaders. Old Madam Zhu's entire life, even if it was for the peace of the stronghold, had expended all her energy and effort. Even if she died, it was for the sake of guarding the stronghold. It was unbearable to let this old man's violent corpse remain in the wilderness.

Although An Lun did not understand the reasoning behind it, but after experiencing so many things, his heart felt heavy. He really did not want to stay in this place any longer, so he nodded, laid on Lin Bai's shoulder, and walked out of the cemetery.

After the sky was clouded, light was released once more. The warm sunlight shone on the two figures, one big and one small. It was as if they were trying to make up for everything that had happened before. However, under this warm sunlight, not only did Lin Bai not feel at ease and comfortable, his mind actually began to become slightly restless, and even a little uneasy.

For some reason, he had the feeling that things had not come to an end yet. Everything seemed to have just begun, and it was still far from the point where the curtain was drawn. This kind of feeling made Lin Bai feel extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't know to whom or how to explain it.

Perhaps everything would be revealed at the very last moment!
