Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The sky seemed to be stained with ink, getting darker and darker. Thick clouds pressed down over Qingtian Mountain, as if they would collapse at any time.

The snow was falling heavily with no sign of stopping. Gu Yang's heart was as heavy and confused as the weather.

He leaned against the tree trunk, anxiously thinking of a solution, but the grief in his heart prevented him from thinking calmly.

Gu Yang's heart was completely in turmoil, so much so that even his normal breathing was a little unstable.

The snow wolves under the two men's feet still did not leave, but kept growling and wandering around.

The snow wolf king put his front paws on the edge of the cliff, wondering what he was thinking.

Hu Qing's gaze lingered for a moment on the frozen vines at the foot of the cliff, and a decision flashed through his mind.

They must take action now, otherwise they will be in dire straits once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.

Although this is a demon in the heart, the price of death is sudden death. The cruel reality forces Hu Qing to be cautious.

He looked around and finally his eyes fell on the branch beside him. He fumbled for a moment, broke off a thick little stick, put it in his hand and fiddled with it for a few times, feeling the weight.

Hu Qing aimed with full concentration, he knew that this attack was extremely difficult.

He had to accurately hit the vines next to the bodies of Gu Yang's parents, without hitting them, but at the same time making them move, so as to divert the attention of the snow wolves.

Hu Qing took a deep breath. He knew that his throwing skills were not very high and this task was almost impossible for him.

However, thinking about Gu Yang's archery skills which were better than his own, he had to let him do this kind of thing.

He turned to look at Gu Yang, handed him the stick in his hand, and explained his plan in detail.

Gu Yang took the stick, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. This was indeed a better idea.

He suppressed the grief in his heart, took a deep breath, and concentrated all his energy.

He knew this might be their only chance.

If this shot was not accurate or attracted the attention of the snow wolf, they would be dead for sure.

Gu Yang threw the stick with force, and it drew an arc in the air, passing over the snow wolf pack without attracting any attention.

This attack gambled the lives of two people. Hu Qing watched the trajectory of the wooden stick solemnly from the side.

Fortunately, the wooden stick did not disappoint and hit the vine about three inches above Gu Yang's parents' heads accurately.

Due to the erosion of the blizzard, the vines had long become fragile. The blow directly broke a piece of it, and the bodies of Gu Yang's parents shook with it.

The snow wolves were immediately attracted by the sudden movement. They turned their heads to look down the cliff and let out a low roar.

The leading Snow Wolf King also raised his head, his eyes flashing green in the night, as if judging whether this sudden movement posed a threat to them.

The two people on the tree quickly put their heads close to the trunk and tucked their limbs into the leaves nearby.

The Snow Wolf King's gaze only stayed on the giant tree where the two were hiding for a moment before moving away and looking elsewhere.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing clung tightly to the tree trunk, holding their breath and not daring to make any sound.

This is their only chance, they have to wait, wait for the snow wolf pack to make new moves.

The snow wolves lingered on the edge of the cliff for a while, and finally, they seemed to think that this was just a small episode in the snowstorm and there was no danger.

A group of snow wolves continued to look down at the corpses at the bottom of the cliff, and some of them were still stretching their claws to reach these two "delicacies".

The Snow Wolf King withdrew his gaze and looked down at the slightly shaking corpse.

A gust of cold wind blew, and a few more broken vines fell down, causing the bodies of Gu Yang's parents to shake even more violently.

"Click!"

Two crisp sounds came from the bottom of the cliff, probably the sound of broken vines falling.

The Snow Wolf King raised his head, as if he had made some decision, and let out a low growl.

The snow wolves around turned their heads and looked at the Snow Wolf King, as if asking for advice.

A snow wolf with a scar on its back looked at it twice, turned its head towards the cliff with disdain, and continued to scratch the corpse with its front paws.

Once, twice...

The claws seemed to be getting closer and closer to the corpse.

"Ow"

At a command from the Snow Wolf King, two guard-like snow wolves rushed forward, bit off the scarred snow wolf's shoulder blade, and dragged it to the open space next to it.

The scarred snow wolf turned back in pain, but was held down tightly, and the snow wolf king stretched out his huge front paws.

With a swipe of its claw, it knocked it unconscious, and the two guarding snow wolves immediately bit its neck and tore it apart with all their might.

The scarred snow wolf grunted a few times symbolically and then set off on the road to the underworld.

"Ouch!"

The Snow Wolf King's loud voice pierced through the treetops, and Hu Qing quietly stuck his head out to check.

A bloody scene appeared on the flat ground below.

The scarred snow wolf had been dismembered, and the hungry snow wolf was still gnawing on it.

The sounds of biting and blood splattering kept coming from below, scaring Gu Yang and Hu Qing so much that they hid on the branches and dared not move.

They were afraid that this scarred snow wolf would be the same fate as them.

The two waited for a long time, and finally heard the roar of the Snow Wolf King.

The snow wolves began to slowly leave the edge of the cliff and walk towards the depths of the forest.

They probably wanted to go to the bottom of the cliff and wait for the two bodies to fall.

They were already hungry, but after eating a snow wolf, they became even hungrier and couldn't wait to gnaw on the two human corpses.

But the Snow Wolf King had already given the order, asking them to wait at the bottom of the cliff, so they had to obey, after all, the fate would be there.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing watched the snow wolf pack gradually go away. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, fortunately the goal was achieved.

They climbed down from the tree carefully, trying not to make any noise.

The two came to the edge of the cliff. Gu Yang looked at the bodies of his parents hanging at the bottom of the cliff, and his heart was filled with grief.

Hu Qing stood nearby and tried to reach down, but he couldn't reach it, so he had to think of another way.

He looked at the woods behind him and had an idea.

Hu Qing walked over and shuttled through the woods, his eyes carefully scanning every tree, looking for suitable materials.

They now need a useful tool to pull Gu Yang's parents out from the cliff.

He found some thick sticks and vines. Fortunately, these vines were in the woods and were not frozen brittle due to the high temperature, so they could be used as ropes.

The hatchet in his hand came in handy at this moment. After a few swings of the axe, he finally gathered all the materials.

He returned to Gu Yang and began to weave the vines.

His fingers nimbly moved among the vines, and soon, a scoop net of suitable size appeared in his hand.

He looked at the sad Gu Yang beside him and handed the fishing net to him.

However, you still have to check it before use to avoid it dropping halfway through.

The two men carefully checked and confirmed that the net was still strong, then extended it down the cliff and laboriously fished the body out from under the cliff.

The two bodies had already been frozen solid in the blizzard, and the net had to be cast at the right angle.

And they have to be extremely careful, because the vines behind them are attached to their bodies, and they cannot use brute force, otherwise they may easily break off their organs.

Finally, half an hour later, the two men fished the body out and placed it on the platform.

Gu Yang lay on his mother's body and cried, trying to vent the grief and anger in his heart.

His tears left two warm marks on his cold face, and his heart felt as if it was torn apart.

This familiar clothing and appearance had already left an indelible impression on his mind.

His original childhood only stopped at this moment. Now that he meets them, he can only try hard to remember them in his heart.

Hu Qing observed carefully from the side. There was no wound on the front of Gu Yang's father, but his face looked very painful.

The calluses on his hands all indicate that he is an excellent hunter. The cracked knuckles are covered with blood that has long dried up.

He turned over the body of Gu Yang's father. There were many vines stuck on the back, but he could still vaguely see an extremely long knife wound, which should have been caused by a sneak attack.

He carefully tore off the vines, trying not to hurt the skin or flesh.

Finally, I saw the complete injury. The skin and flesh around the knife were rolled up and bleeding.

But the fatal wounds should be the two knife wounds on the waist, which were deep enough to see the bones and were enough to be fatal.

The scene of the murder replayed in his mind. It should have been a sneak attack that made Gu Yang's father unable to move, and then he stabbed him in the kidney with two knives, killing him instantly.

This person is so cruel, so cruel that it's outrageous.

Hu Qing lifted up Gu Yang's father's legs, and saw several animal bite marks on his ankles.

Hu Qing had raised a dog before, so he recognized it at a glance. It was a dog bite mark.

And it's a puppy, not a giant dog.

He looked at Gu Yang's mother again. There were no obvious bite marks on her body, but the knife wound on her chest was undoubtedly fatal.

This was also a single blow to death, but the freshness of the wound suggested that it was a later death.

Then the specific truth should be:

The murderer ambushed Gu Yang's father, killed him and dumped his body, then met Gu Yang's mother on his way back.

He decided to kill her brutally and threw her off the cliff together with Gu Yang's father, but he didn't expect that there were vines supporting them underneath.

That would explain the mess of footprints and blood.

Seeing that Gu Yang was in better spirits, Hu Qing told him about his discovery.

The flames of hatred ignited in Gu Yang's eyes, his hands clenched into fists, and he wished he could skin the murderer alive.

They both thought of the beggar they met at the foot of the mountain, the lazy man with strange behavior.

Gu Yang wanted to confront him right now and ask him for an explanation.

This person is really suspicious, and he is most likely the murderer of Gu Yang's parents.

Hu Qing went to the woods to find some sticks and vines, made two small stretchers, and tied the bodies of Gu Yang's parents on them.

They must go down the mountain as soon as possible, return to the village for a proper burial, and then seek revenge on the leper.

For Gu Yang, this was the last thing he could do for his parents.

The two of them set out on their journey down the mountain with heavy hearts.

Even though they were exhausted, at this moment, both of them wanted to rush down the mountain and return to the village.

The wind and snow above their heads had subsided a lot, and the unruly wind was now leading the way for them.
