Chapter 93 The Mist Monster Wakes Up with Amnesia
Ma Jian stood aside, watching as the two of them successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage. His eyes widened in disbelief.
He pondered to himself: How come it's so easy to cross the Golden Core stage now?
Do they have some unique method that allows them to avoid taking those incredibly precious Nourishing Essence Pills?
Looking back, when he was breaking through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, his father searched far and wide for rare and precious materials for him, spending countless efforts and resources.
He himself had to take five Nourishing Essence Pills before he could finally take that difficult step and become a Golden Core cultivator.
Even so, the process was not smooth sailing, and they almost failed.
If it weren't for his grandfather's timely help, he probably would have struggled for several years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
Just as he was lost in his memories, the next moment, the Mist Monster's surprised shout suddenly rang out, abruptly interrupting Ma Jian's thoughts.
"Seventh Senior Sister, did he succeed after taking your pill?"
Gao Huohuo's voice carried a hint of undisguised surprise.
"It can only be said that the pills played a certain role in helping, but it is far from being a complete success."
Lin Qingxue looked solemn as she carefully examined the condition of the person on the ground.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Ma Jian couldn't help but ask:
"So what exactly is his situation now?"
Lin Qingxue checked it again and again before speaking with a solemn expression:
"Judging from the current situation, his life has been saved. However, what will happen after he wakes up depends on the specific circumstances."
However, it will most likely require a long period of recuperation and treatment before he can gradually recover to a normal state.
Upon hearing this, Ma Jian felt somewhat relieved and his admiration for Bai Qiang and the others grew even stronger.
In his view, being able to save his life was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, and as for the subsequent recovery, he could only take it one step at a time.
So everyone stopped what they were doing, held their breath, and waited for the mist monster to awaken.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, with only the soft breathing of the crowd echoing between them.
A moment later, the Mist Monster slowly opened its eyes, its once deep eyes now filled with confusion and helplessness.
His gaze slowly swept over the surrounding crowd who were on high alert, as if he were trying to recall something, or as if he felt completely unfamiliar with the scene before him.
When his gaze fell upon his strange and unfamiliar body, he was first stunned, then his eyes widened in terror, and he screamed hysterically:
"What's wrong with me? Why have I become like this?"
Before he finished speaking, he kicked Lin Qingxue, who was closest to him, like a frightened wild beast. The action was a mix of panic and instinctive resistance.
Fortunately, Gao Huohuo had been paying close attention to the mist monster's every move, and with quick reflexes...
She quickly reached out, grabbed Lin Qingxue's sleeve, and forcefully pulled her behind her.
Lin Qingxue patted her chest with lingering fear, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Who are you? What did you do to me?"
The Mist Monster's voice trembled with anger as it glared at the group warily, leaning back slightly in a defensive posture.
Gao Huohuo and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep doubt. They couldn't help but turn their gaze to Lin Qingxue.
It seems they were hoping to get a reasonable explanation from her.
Lin Qingxue also looked bewildered. She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then mouthed the words "amnesia".
Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized that, considering the Mist Monster's current behavior, the deduction of amnesia was quite reasonable.
"Hey, do you remember your name?"
Gao Huohuo tentatively asked, trying to soothe the mist monster's emotions in a gentle voice.
However, the Mist Monster remained wary of them. He stared intently at them, pursed his lips, and remained silent, his eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, the monster that had previously possessed the ability to burrow underground arrived in a hurry.
The moment the Mist Monster saw it, the wariness in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of familiarity and warmth.
He eagerly opened his arms and hugged the monster tightly, muttering to himself as he intimately communicated with it.
The Mist Monster suddenly became excited, nodding repeatedly and showing an expression of agreement;
A moment later, he frowned, his emotions slightly agitated, as if expressing dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, everyone became even more confused, and Ye Lingyu was pushed to the front to act as the translator.
She swallowed nervously, her eyes fixed on the interaction between the human and the demon beast before her.
The valley was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Mist Monster. Before Ye Lingyu could explain, the Mist Monster broke the silence first.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now. Thank you for saving my life."
His voice carried a hint of sincerity and guilt. After speaking, he bowed deeply to Lin Qingxue, his posture full of apology.
Lin Qingxue waved her hand gently, a tolerant smile appearing on her lips, indicating that she didn't care about the sudden attack.
"Can I say goodbye to my family? I'll tell them soon, and then I'll go back with you to accept your punishment."
The mist monster's eyes were full of pleading.
All eyes turned to Gao Huohuo. After a moment's thought, Gao Huohuo nodded slightly in agreement and promised to wait there.
Time slowly passed, but fortunately, despite the fog and strange rumors, there was still faith.
Half an hour later, he returned to the same spot with a dejected expression, an aura of loneliness and helplessness lingering around him.
Clearly, he was well aware of his past sins, and the lives lost because of him could not be brought back. The heavy burden of guilt made it hard for him to breathe.
As the group followed the Mist Monster to the top of the cliff, they stumbled upon Zhou Mo telling Ma Ruiyu that Gao Huohuo was an evil cultivator.
In an instant, the atmosphere became awkward and heavy.
Zhou Mo looked indignant, his eyes seemingly declaring that what he said was an undeniable fact.
Gao Huohuo merely glanced at him coldly before looking away, completely ignoring his presence.
Gao Huohuo stepped forward, facing the other cultivators on the cliff, and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, I presume you have all been entrusted by the Lu family to investigate the incident of injury at Purple Mist Peak."
"Now, I have captured the black-robed man's soul."
As she spoke, she took out the Soul-Binding Talisman that had trapped the man in black robes from her sleeve and displayed it to everyone.
"Does anyone have any ideas on how to get him to reveal the mastermind behind it all? Besides, it could be him."
Gao Huohuo stepped aside, revealing the Mist Monster behind him.
"He had been living at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, but unfortunately he was infected and was controlled by the man in black robes to commit many murders. We hope everyone will discuss how to deal with this matter."
The crowd's gazes darted back and forth between the black-robed spirit and the mist monster, and they fell into deep thought.
The atmosphere on the cliff top grew increasingly heavy, and no one spoke.
