Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"I have three parts sincerity."

As Shen Xingzhuo finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer.

Looking at Pei Jinyu gazing at her tenderly, these three sincere feelings seemed even more insignificant.

She had just been overcome with grief over the deaths of the other Chosen Ones.

The phrase "heroes are nameless" is too heavy, let alone the fact that after their deaths, these heroes were turned into puppets to attack the people they protected.

The weight pressed down on her back, causing it to bend slightly.

If she had arrived earlier, would this have prevented it from happening?

Such a thought instantly took hold of her mind.

Shen Xingzhuo herself knew that such thinking was unhealthy, and that she had clearly fallen for the trap set by the supernatural tale.

But her path is the path of self-reliance.

Hold fast to what I believe in, and protect what I love.

Her sense of righteousness exists solely for the purpose of protection.

Whether it's to uphold the justice or love in her heart, she will stop at nothing to achieve her goal!

The character "执" is derived from "to uphold the ancient way in order to govern the present".

This is also the flaw in her approach.

Even though the killer is acting out of utmost protection, if he takes it to the extreme, he will harm himself.

A wavering of one's Dao heart is no small matter; she was clearly standing on the edge of a cliff just now.

It was Pei Jinyu who used an attack to remind her that they were enemies to begin with.

otherwise……

She wouldn't subconsciously draw her knife and strike directly.

At this moment, her Qi was burning Pei Jinyu's wound.

Righteousness is the nemesis of all evil spirits and yin energy. Pei Jinyu's wound cannot heal on its own, and she may soon be unable to even maintain her human form.

……

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

[Chosen One, please find the ultimate mission to achieve the ending as soon as possible!]

Strange and eerie tales echoed from the sky.

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly heard the ticking of a clock, and the sense of urgency intensified.

We must leave immediately!

She formed a hand seal, and a talisman flew out from her sleeve and hovered in the air, emitting a soft glow.

"A single thought can unite us across vast distances!"

As she finished chanting the incantation, a beam of spiritual light was activated from the talisman and shot straight into the sky.

The light pierced through the clouds and the sun, eventually exploding like fireworks.

And each cluster of fireworks serves as a guide to a direction.

This is the purpose of the paper doll that Shen Xingzhuo sent out earlier.

Her talisman can track the movements of the little paper figures.

One of them, she placed on Runyu.

Pei Jinyu initially left with Runyu, but she returned because they had found Pei Jinxiu.

Runyu staying by Pei Jinxiu's side was a backup plan she had prepared for herself long ago.

Shen Xingzhuo paused for three seconds before looking at Pei Jinyu and Madam Pei again.

"Among these routes, are there any that lead to the back of the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinyu looked up at the sky.

"The road on the left..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

At this moment, her mind was as if shrouded in fog, and she could not remember anything clearly.

Madam Pei continued, "The path on the left leads to the secluded courtyard, where Liu Jin imprisons his concubines who have been driven mad."

"That place... is indeed filled with resentment. No one has set foot there for a long time." A twisted expression of pity appeared on her face. "I was under strict surveillance by Liu Jin at the time, and he could only deliver food to me occasionally. I heard that because no one took care of their basic needs, they had to eat tree bark, and..."

"And each other, starving to death..."

[Holy crap!! Just when I think Liu Jin is at his worst, he keeps pushing my limits!!!]
