Chapter 64 First Transformation: Wise Dao Gu Master, Zhou Yi (2k)

When Ye Fan heard that voice, he felt both puzzled and wary. Wasn't that Zhou Yi's voice?

He should be cultivating in the cave with Zhang Ziling, so why is he here?

Despite his doubts, Ye Fan did not unleash his prepared killing move, but instead launched another crucial killing move.

With full force, the energy ripples thoroughly explored the structures of all living things within a two-thousand-meter radius.

Ye Fan probed back and forth several times to make sure that no one was following him before he moved a little closer and quietly scrutinized the newcomer.

Under the light of the lava, Ye Fan discovered that Zhou Yi's face had returned to its youthful appearance.

He was wearing a tattered, torn, and ripped purple Taoist robe, and his hair and clothes were covered in dust and dirt.

Zhou Yi held a turtle-like object in his hand and cautiously moved towards Sha Xiao and the others.

"Gu worms?"

Having followed Sha Xiao for a long time, Ye Fan immediately recognized the true identity of that turtle-like thing.

He glanced at Zhou Yi in surprise, then relaxed slightly and slowly landed.

"Zhou Yi? What are you doing here?"

Ye Fan took out the small light gu and activated it, illuminating the cavern, and then questioned it aloud.

"Ye Fan!?"

Zhou Yi raised his hand to block the sudden light and squinted at Ye Fan.

"Thank goodness! I knew you were alright!"

After confirming that the person in front of him was Ye Fan, Zhou Yi's tone was filled with surprise, as if he had breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Seeing Zhou Yi's sallow complexion and protruding bones, clearly indicating he hadn't eaten for some time, Ye Fan handed him some food and water and asked, "Tell me, what happened? Shouldn't you be cultivating in the cave? How did you end up here looking like this?"

Zhou Yi looked at Ye Fan, who was radiating divine light and being lifted into the sky by divine power, and his heart was filled with envy.

"ha"

Zhou Yi took the water and immediately gulped down a large mouthful.

He wiped his mouth before speaking to Ye Fan.

"A few days ago, we were indeed still cultivating inside the cave."

"Everything was very good back then. Elder Ma took great care of us and guided us to expand our sea of ​​suffering early on. He was also helping us consolidate our foundation and prepare for the breakthrough to the life spring."

Zhou Yi recalled his experiences over the past few days, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Just a few days ago, they were enjoying the same treatment as the immortal seedlings.

Not long after they entered, the elder helped them restore their appearance and even taught them cultivation step by step.

The other disciples around them also greeted them with smiles and looked at them with favor.

They enjoyed the status of being the center of attention and admirers.

Even the thing they imagined—that they would hand over the Buddhist treasures—did not happen.

In Zhou Yi's eyes at that time, they had entered a prestigious and upright sect with a clear hierarchy and proper customs, where they could spend their entire lives.

"When I learned from your letter that you had not yet escaped the sea of ​​suffering, I also felt very elated. Moreover, I had already discovered it in the void at that time."

Zhou Yi showed Ye Fan the turtle-shaped Gu worm in his hand, his face full of pride.

"I've discovered that this is the natal Gu you mentioned in your letter. I call mine the First Turn Eight Trigrams Gu. I can activate it to perform divination three times a day."

"The more I understand, the more accurate the divination results will be. Of course, there are times when I can't cast a divination."

But through indirect questioning, I can always glean something from the divination.

"For example, based on the paper we exchanged, I deduced a type of Gu worm called Star Intent Gu and a killing move called Gossip Star Chasing."

Zhou Yi held out his hand, showing Ye Fan another Gu worm that he had taken out of the hollow orifice. It shimmered with starlight and looked like a meteorite.

Ye Fan looked at the two Gu worms in Zhou Yi's hand and immediately understood.

This is the Wisdom Gu worm that Sha Xiao mentioned. It can not only predict heavenly secrets and anticipate enemies from afar, but also help deduce Gu formulas and assist in one's cultivation.

Like his strength, it is a very powerful and well-developed style.

"Until a few days ago, during my routine divination, I received three consecutive ominous omens that threatened my life. They indicated that if I did not move, I would surely die."

"Although I didn't know what had happened, I still followed the guidance of the divination and left the sect under the pretext of wanting to go to a mortal town to relax."

"Just in case, I didn't tell anyone, and I even left that Bo Meng in the sect, just to keep them calm."

Zhou Yi looked at Ye Fan, who was floating in the air, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

He let out a breath and continued, "After I went down the mountain, I followed the divination and found a large river, which I then plunged into. Sure enough, not long after, an elder covered in blood returned."

"Then the entire sect was immediately placed under martial law, and many people went into the town."

Ye Fan frowned, already understanding what was going on. He sighed slightly, "They came to arrest you, hoping to connect you to us. You've been implicated because of us."

Zhou Yi nodded, his face bitter, and said, "According to the information I later gathered, the cultivation community in Yan Kingdom is spreading rumors that Lao Sha is actually a spy sent by the demon race."

"The sect leader of Lingxu Cave Heaven has protected you, and the entire cave heaven has been expelled by Yaoguang Holy Land."

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "It's all fake. It wasn't destroyed after our great battle with them."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently, "I know! If they hadn't failed to capture you, they wouldn't have needed to take us with them at all."

Ye Fan looked at Zhou Yi in silence for a while, then turned to Zhou Yi and asked, "The others must have been arrested as well. Do you have any other information?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "I've been using all three of my daily divination sessions to find you guys, otherwise why would I be crawling into this underground?"

Having successfully borrowed the magic key and taken Broiler No. 2 into the Sea of ​​Bitterness, Sha Xiao walked towards the light.

"Ye Zi, what are you doing here? Huh—!"

As soon as he arrived, he saw Zhou Yi and the Gu worm in his hand.

Sha Xiao's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly stepped forward, staring intently at the tortoise-shaped Gu worm, and murmured, "Wisdom Path? This Gu is quite strange. How can it be so powerful after just one transformation?"

After thinking for a while, Sha Xiao looked up at Ye Fan and comforted him, "I know what's going on. Don't worry, they're after me."

"As long as you and I don't get caught, they shouldn't be affected."

"Let's go back first and discuss this further after we've gathered all the information from Weiwei and the others."

Ye Fan scratched his head: "How did you know that?"

Sha Xiao pointed at Zhou Yi and the Gu worm in his hand and laughed, "If I still can't guess what happened between the Wisdom Gu worm and Zhou Yi, I might as well quit the business."

As she spoke, Sha Xiao looked at Zhou Yi and smiled, "You still came to us even with this Gu worm. It seems you're already prepared to give up that great opportunity?"

Zhou Yi was startled upon hearing this. How did Sha Xiao know that he had received two very auspicious results during his divination?

"Yes, I believe it."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and looked at the little turtle in his hand seriously.

Welcome to the team.

Sha Xiao smiled, grasped Zhou Yi's hand, and shook it vigorously.
