Chapter 395: Barrier
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Zi t s speed was extremely fast. It had already exceeded the scope of a normal human. Gu Lin could not even catch a strand of his daughter’s hair. Xiao Jing, who was standing at the door, wanted to stop her, but as soon as he reached out, she ran out of the room.
Purple Eye said, “Stop her quickly. She wants to use her remnant soul to control Gu Zi. If Gu Zi can’t resist, she will never be able to wake up!’
These words were like a bolt from the blue. Gu Yu immediately jumped over the railing on the second floor to the first floor. The others did not have such skills and could only run towards the stairs. Yunbao sat on Glutinous Rice Ball and flew out.
Purple Eye could not understand why that female ghost had such strength. She could actually withstand the array formation to kill ghosts. That was a spell passed down from ancient times and had the ability to definitely kill ghosts.
Even if Yunbao was still young and could not completely comprehend it, it was enough to kill a ghost that could only possess people. She did not expect her to still have the strength to control Gu Zi t s body to escape.
Purple Eye thought about the unreasonable aspects of this matter and deduced a possibility. She said to Yunbao, “This female ghost is very powerful, but she has been sealed for too long and has lost her understanding of her ability. Fortunately, she didn’t attack us with all her might just now. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have the time to set up the array.”
Yunbao also felt a lingering fear when she heard that. After all, Purple Eye had already said that the female ghost must be very strong. “Then where is she going now?”
Purple Eye shook her head and said, “I don’t know where she’s going either, but she must have thought of something, so she rushed out even if she had to risk her life.’
Purple Eye was right. The female ghost recalled what happened to her when
she was alive in the array just now. Because the impact of the array finally opened the shackles on her soul, those memories instantly surged into her mind.
The female ghost’s heart was filled with the desire to go back. She did not care that someone was still chasing after her. Even if she died, she would die in that place.
Initially, she cherished Gu Zi t s body very much. She felt that this young lady was so beautiful and had a family that loved her. If she could replace her and live on, she would definitely be very happy. Therefore, even when she fought with those people in the Gu family, she tried her best to protect this body. But now, she didn’t care at all.
She controlled her body to walk across the path and through the grass. The high heels on her feet had long been kicked away. She let the stones scratch her feet and branches graze her arms, but she still kept running forward.
Gu Yu summoned the wind from the elemental spell to help him chase after her, but his speed was still inferior to the female ghost. He could only follow from afar and see her running with his little niece’s body.
He was very anxious to chase after her. Gu Zi was only a young lady, so running like this would definitely hurt her. At that time, the female ghost could leave this body, but Gu Zi could only bear the pain herself.
Just as he was feeling anxious, the female ghost finally stopped. It was an abandoned orphanage located in the forest in the distant suburbs. It looked very strange that few people came to such a place.
Gu Yu did not have the time to sized up the orphanage. He took out his wand and was about to trap her. As long as he grabbed Gu Zi t s body and brought her back, they would naturally be able to think of a way to deal with the female ghost.
However, the moment he waved his wand, the female ghost quickly entered the orphanage and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Yunbao caught up and said, “Fourth Uncle, where did that female ghost go?”
“She’s here, but I feel that there’s something wrong with this orphanage,” Gu Yu said with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Purple Eye also said, “There’s a barrier outside this orphanage, but it’s not used to protect or defend. Anyone can enter.” “There’s such a barrier?” Gu Yu asked curiously.
Purple Eye nodded. “This is usually used to hide. As long as you cross the barrier, there will definitely be a different world inside. In the past, it was often used by the sect to hide the forbidden area, but before I died, very few people used it anymore. After all, it can’t stop others from entering. The sect still has to arrange for people to guard outside. It’s better to change it to a defensive array.”
Upon hearing Purple Eye’s words, Gu Yu could not figure out why an array formation that had been eliminated a thousand years ago would still appear in the distant suburbs of the capital. Moreover, what was hidden inside?
Just as he couldn’t figure it out, Yunbao urged, “Fourth Uncle, let’s go in quickly. Sister Gu Zi is in danger inside now.”
Only then did Gu Yu come back to his senses and quickly enter. Even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of flames inside, it was not important. Now, they had to save Gu Zi..
