Unlike Gu Yue Di Tian, who was blindly loyal to Gu Yue, Zi Ji was also extremely loyal to Gu Yue.
However, she is not as rigid as Di Tian; she will strictly follow Gu Yue's orders and act in a rigid manner.
Normally, as long as Gu Yue doesn't contact her, Zi Ji will wander around the streets like an ordinary person, experiencing all sorts of novel gadgets in the human world.
Occasionally, he would disobey Gu Yue's orders and sneak into Donghai Academy to observe Gu Yue's situation.
Just as Zi Ji was struggling with whether or not she should sneak into Donghai Academy, the soul communication device that had been left aside suddenly rang.
Looking at the contact information displayed above, Zi Ji pressed the answer button without hesitation.
"My lord, is there something you need from me?"
"Zi Ji, come to Donghai Academy and kill someone for me."
Gu Yue's voice was low and devoid of any emotion.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Upon hearing that Gu Yue wanted her to kill someone, Zi Ji, who had just been looking lazy and casual, instantly seemed like a completely different person.
Her reclining body suddenly straightened, and her previously charming and languid gaze vanished, replaced by coldness and respect.
An invisible pressure emanated from Zi Ji. The person sitting on the bed was no longer a charming and alluring woman, but an ancient ferocious beast ready to hunt at any moment.
"Tang Wulin!"
Gu Yue spoke each word in a cold voice.
"Sigh~"
Upon hearing that Gu Yue wanted her to kill Tang Wulin, Zi Ji subconsciously gasped.
Zi Ji was somewhat confused as to why Gu Yue suddenly wanted to kill Tang Wulin.
Gu Yue appeared in Donghai City to get close to Tang Wulin in order to win the bet between her and Na'er.
Thinking of Na'er, Zi Ji decided to remind Gu Yue, "My lord, if we kill Tang Wulin, it will be difficult to explain to Na'er."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yue heard Zi Ji mention Na'er and snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to actually kill Tang Wulin."
"I just want you to drive Tang Wulin to a dead end with the mindset of killing him."
As Gu Yue spoke, he told Zi Ji everything he had arranged, leaving no detail out.
Upon hearing that Gu Yue hadn't really asked her to kill Tang Wulin, Zi Ji visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Gu Yue only asked her to push Tang Wulin to the brink of death; otherwise, Zi Ji dared not even imagine the consequences.
As one of the few ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Forest, Zi Ji is qualified to know about the relationship between Gu Yue and Na'er.
Although Na'er is a personality extracted from Gu Yue, she has taken away 30% of Gu Yue's power.
If Na'er were to find out about Tang Wulin's death, their soul beast clan's plans would likely be exposed before they could even be fully implemented.
Even if Gu Yue, with only 70% of her power remaining, successfully defeats the combined forces of Na'er and the human army, the Star Dou Forest will likely pay a terrible price.
"It's really strange. When we sneaked into Donghai Academy last time, the relationship between Master and Tang Wulin seemed to be quite good."
"How did things suddenly turn into a situation where Tang Wulin is being forced to the brink of death?"
After hanging up the phone, Ziji muttered something under her breath.
However, since Gu Yue has already given the order, I, as a subordinate, must obey my master's arrangements.
With this in mind, Zi Ji raised her slender hand, and a cold and dark aura suddenly surged from her body.
The next second, a cloak exuding a strong evil aura materialized from the void, completely enveloping Zi Ji's graceful figure.
Then, Zi Ji transformed into a streak of purple light and disappeared into the courtyard.
A minor mishap occurred, and the attempt failed at midnight.
Chapter 94 Tang San: Gu Yue, you have already chosen your own death!
"So tired!"
Tang Wulin, who had been busy all day at the Forging Masters Association, had just finished showering and changed into his pajamas. Just as he was happily preparing to lie down and rest, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.
Before Tang Wulin could react, there was a loud "bang," and an invisible force sent him flying backward.
Tang Wulin crashed heavily into the wall, sending debris flying and leaving a huge dent in the marble surface.
"Ahem—!"
The violent impact caused Tang Wulin's chest to churn, a metallic taste rose in his throat, and he felt unprecedented pain in every part of his body.
For a moment, Tang Wulin felt as if he had been hit head-on by a dump truck.
Moonlight streamed through the window into the room, casting an eerie, slender shadow on the floor.
Murasaki, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly emerged from the darkness.
Tang Wulin forced himself to lift his head despite the sharp pain in his chest, trying to see the attacker's face clearly.
Seeing that Tang Wulin was still able to move, a hint of surprise flashed across Zi Ji's alluring face, hidden beneath her cloak.
You have to understand the power of that attack she just delivered. Even a level 30 defensive Soul Master would likely be left with only a breath after taking that hit.
But now Tang Wulin still has the strength to move after being hit by me. No wonder my master said that there was something strange about Tang Wulin.
Since that's the case, then let me test it out properly!
"He's still alive? He's really tenacious!"
Zi Ji's voice carried a hint of mockery. With a gentle flick of her slender fingers hidden beneath her wide sleeves, a terrifying gravity descended from all directions, firmly enveloping Tang Wulin.
"Om~"
A buzzing sound filled the air, and the wooden floor cracked and sputtered.
Tang Wulin felt every cell, every inch of his skin, and every bone in his body being squeezed. The excruciating pain almost made him faint on the spot.
Tang Wulin really couldn't understand when he had provoked such a terrifying being.
The aura emanating from the other party was far more powerful and terrifying than that of Hall Master Zhao, whom he had met in Tiandou City.
"Old Tang, Old Tang!"
Tang Wulin anxiously called out to Tang San in his heart, but his calls were like stones sinking into the sea, receiving no response.
Tang Wulin's heart sank when he received no response from Tang San. Now, Tang Wulin could only hope that Xie Xie, who lived next door, would notice the commotion and call the police for him.
What made Tang Wulin despair was that despite the commotion he had made, Xie Xie acted as if he hadn't heard a thing and showed no reaction whatsoever.
Are you waiting for someone to rescue you?
Zi Ji seemed to have seen through Tang Wulin's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I just used my mental power to pull everyone in the building into a dream."
"No matter how much noise is made here, no one outside will notice a thing."
Zi Ji's words were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering Tang Wulin's last remaining hope and leaving him feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"..."
Seeing Tang Wulin with his head drooping and a resigned look on his face, a hint of hesitation flashed in Zi Ji's eyes.
Tang Wulin is now undoubtedly facing a dead end, but apart from his powerful physical body, he has not shown any other extraordinary abilities.
No, I need to put in even more effort!
Remembering Gu Yue's parting words, Zi Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she pressed her fingers down gently again.
"Om-!"
The gravity on Tang Wulin instantly doubled, like an invisible giant mountain pressing down hard.
Tang Wulin felt all the bones in his body trembling violently, as if each bone was about to be crushed.
"Kakaka-"
A clear cracking sound came from Tang Wulin's body. His body was pinned to the floor, unable to move his limbs, and even breathing became difficult.
The excruciating pain was like being cut by a knife; the taste of blood welled up in my throat, trickling down my chin and soaking the floor.
Tang Wulin was unwilling to accept it.
He hadn't even had a chance to find his parents and Na'er, nor had he had a chance to express his feelings to Senior Sister Ouyang, and now he was going to die like this.
Tang Wulin's consciousness began to blur, and the world before his eyes seemed to gradually fade, leaving only a strong, almost suffocating sense of despair that was relentlessly devouring him.
Just when Tang Wulin could no longer hold on, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body suddenly began to boil.
A burst of blazing golden light erupted from Tang Wulin's body, his crimson blood became incredibly hot, and his dark pupils were covered by a fiery golden light.
"Roar--!"
A deep dragon roar resounded from Tang Wulin's body, causing the air in the room to vibrate violently. It broke through the gravity that Zi Ji had applied to Tang Wulin, and he stood up unsteadily.
Even though Zi Ji was prepared, she was still startled by the aura emanating from Tang Wulin.
Before they arrived, Gu Yue had already informed Zi Ji that she might be suppressed by the Golden Dragon King bloodline in Tang Wulin's body.
Even after experiencing it firsthand, Murasaki was still deeply moved.
It's important to understand that the difference in strength between her and Tang Wulin is an insurmountable chasm.
Even so, she was momentarily stunned by the aura emanating from Tang Wulin.
Just as Zi Ji was about to push Tang Wulin's potential to its limit again, she saw Tang Wulin suddenly black out and faint on the spot.
"..."
Seeing Tang Wulin unconscious, Zi Ji was stunned for a moment. Then, she used her mental power to manipulate the carving knife that Tang Wulin had placed on the table to carve parts. She aimed at Tang Wulin's heart and then plunged the carving knife down without hesitation.
"puff--!"
Fresh blood spurted out from the sharp blade.
Seeing this, Murasaki nodded in satisfaction, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
"Damn it, how dare you hurt my Wu Lin! You beasts deserve to die!"
Almost the instant Zi Ji left, Tang San's voice, filled with resentment and anger, rang out in Tang Wulin's mental world.
Tang San had witnessed everything that Tang Wulin had just experienced.
