Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 504 What profound despair is this?

Unexpectedly, she was seriously injured when she encountered the Forget-Me-Not Fairy in Sanchun City last time, and this time she was cursed with the Poison-Dispelling Curse. From now on, I'm afraid even the Holy Maiden can only look up to her!

Gu Qingyue, of course, had no idea that she had used the Forget-Me-Not Elixir to severely injure the Holy Maiden the first time, poisoned her before the second fight, and was then manipulated by Doctor Qin to completely strip the Holy Maiden of her powers. If she knew it was all her own doing, Gu Qingyue would probably be laughing herself to death.

"Don't be so smug. I don't believe a single word you say! The Holy Maiden isn't that powerful!"

What witch butterfly mark? What about vomiting blood and collapsing if you leave the Valley of a Thousand Flowers for ten miles?!

Didn't you bring him from the Valley of a Thousand Flowers to the Valley of Immortals? This distance is more than ten miles!

Beside him, Qin Fang leaned back in his chair, his sarcastic tone greatly displeasing Doctor Qin!

"That's because I have my own methods, you ignorant child!"

Doctor Qin glared at Qin Fang with disdain.

This method was known only to her and the saintess.

Once the shadows surrounding Protector Ling are removed—the witch butterflies that follow him—he can leave. It's just that Protector Ling hasn't known how to remove the witch butterflies all these years.

He couldn't possibly know that the Holy Maiden had placed the Witch Butterfly Mark on him, and that wherever he went, the Witch Butterfly would find him and trigger the poison within him, so he simply couldn't leave.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue's eyes brightened even more. She stared at Doctor Qin and smiled slyly.

Not bad, not bad. She knew this old woman was arrogant and conceited the moment she walked in. And she used some hypnosis from the start, which made her say so much in her smugness. Very good!

continue!

Gu Qingyue stood up and took a few steps closer to Doctor Qin. "Where is the place where the Gu are raised? How do I get in?"

Her eyes shimmered even more, sparkling like stars, and even with a mask on her face, they couldn't hide their starlight.

As the witch doctor Qin watched her approach, he intended to mock her further, but he paused, and after a long while, he murmured, "The Gu-raising Hall is below the Ink Feather Hall, and the entrance is behind the Ten Thousand Gu Cave..."

Gu Qingyue: !!!

The group returned to Qihe Town five days later.

Gu Qingyue and her group burned all the Gu worms they could find in Shenxian Valley, except for a few that she took for research purposes. They also buried the rest with poison, including the Gu-breeding area, Moyu Palace, and Shenxian Valley!

Such evil places should not be kept.

Of course, they brought all the medicinal ingredients with them when they came out. Fortunately, they came out through the secret passage of the Wizard's Hall, which was much easier than going in.

Even so, many of the young men and women fainted from exhaustion after coming out, and are now lying unconscious in the guest rooms of this small courtyard in Qihe Town.

Gu Qingyue also specially invited many doctors to come and treat them, and they should gradually get better.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue sighed.

However, Gu Qingyue couldn't care less about them at this moment; she had to remove the poison and curse from Gu Changling as soon as possible.

According to the Qin witch doctor, Gu Changling was afflicted with the Crimson Blood Gu, as well as two other curses: the Forgetfulness Curse and the Witch Butterfly Mark.

She has an antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu, and the Forgetfulness Curse can be made with the seeds of the Nie Sang Flower, which has already been tested on Zhang Xubai and has proven effective.

As for the Witch Butterfly Mark... she later hypnotized Doctor Qin, saying that as long as she didn't encounter the Witch Butterfly, the curse poison wouldn't be triggered.

However, the curse poison on his body attracts witch butterflies like moths to a flame. Once his aura is exposed to the air, the witch butterflies will follow him like a shadow. They call these witch butterflies "shadows," and they are impossible to drive away.

Therefore, once Gu Changling appears in a place where Wu Die can find him, he could trigger the curse poison and cause his internal energy to surge at any time!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue closed her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

She couldn't even imagine how many times Gu Changling had tried to leave Wanhua Valley over the past fifteen years, only to return due to the flare-up of the curse poison.

What profound despair must this be?

In a place like the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, one may seem free, but in reality, one is imprisoned and tormented by curses and poisons. Gu Qingyue's eyes redden at the thought.

When is a person at their most desperate?

In the midst of this predicament, a way out was finally found, but this seemingly hopeful way out was actually just a drawing on paper and was completely impassable!

She gazed at Gu Changling's sleeping face and remained silent for a long time.

Fortunately, she has a spatial ability to isolate herself from the witch's detection, and she also has the Forget-Me-Not Fairy to drive the witch away.

However, as long as the curse remains in one's body, one cannot live freely and at will under the sunlight.

She will definitely find a way to get Gu Changling to remove the witch butterfly mark from the Wizard's Hall! Definitely!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingyue took out her first-aid kit and silver needles.

Two hours later, she finally came out of the room.

In the room, Gu Changling lay quietly asleep on the bed, a dark blue pouch tied around his waist. Inside the pouch was the Forget-Me-Not Pill that Gu Qingyue had previously developed.

Before Gu Changling removes the Witch Butterfly Mark, he must wear it continuously and cannot take it off.

"Moon, how are you? Father's poison..."

As soon as Gu Qingyue stepped out, she was surrounded by Gu Yuanming and Gu Yuanen.

Mu Yun Chu stood beside her, looking at Gu Qing Yue's tired face, and felt a pang of heartache.

"Yes, the Crimson Blood Gu poison has been neutralized, and the Forgetfulness Curse has also been treated with medicine. He should gradually recover and regain his memories... As for the Witch Butterfly Mark," Gu Qingyue paused, "we still need to find a solution from the Wizard's Hall."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers finally let out a heavy sigh of relief, but the next moment, they looked back into the house with worry.

"Alright, A-Yue, go and rest first. We just received news that the Great Wizard and his group have already headed to Zhucheng. The Heavenly Sacrifice is about to begin. Since we need to seek a way to break the curse from the Wizard's Temple, we still have to go there."

Gu Qingyue nodded.

They had originally planned on their way back to Qihe Town to take Gu Changling back to Lizhou first, and then make further plans after he recovered.

I'll look for the Wizard's Temple when I have the chance.

As for the Heavenly Sacrifice in Zhucheng, she will not attend.

Although she had really wanted to go to the Heavenly Sacrifice to see the excitement.

The reason why so many people flock to the Nanzhao Heavenly Sacrifice is not only because they can watch the spectacle and get to know the powerful and even royal family of Nanzhao, but most importantly, because there is a treasure hunt part in the Heavenly Sacrifice.

It is said that the King of Nanzhao would have someone hide a priceless treasure of the Nanzhao royal family in advance in the Meigu Mountains.

Before the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, a treasure hunt will take place.

Not only can candidates for elders from various tribes participate, but also the strong men of their families can participate.

Naturally, those who obtain the Heavenly Sacrifice Token can also participate.

This is a comprehensive test of the elder candidates' abilities in all aspects.

If the elder candidate obtains the treasure, he/she can directly become the head of the council of elders.

If the person who receives the treasure is one of the other people who came to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice to watch the spectacle, then the treasure belongs to them, and they will also receive a promise from the King of Nanzhao that does not involve the safety of the country.
