Chapter 1367: Chapter 194: Divine-level Witch Artifact

Hu Linglong, this woman, is indeed cunning, but wrongdoing often leads to one’s own downfall.

No wonder Ye Beiming brought me to eavesdrop; from the words Dugu Xiu and Hu Linglong exchanged after their encounter, it was obvious Hu Linglong conspired with Dugu Xiu to use her appearance to frame Ye Beiming.

Luckily, Ye Hu is cautious and sly enough to turn the tables on Dugu Xiu.

These two are truly bad news.

Yun Sheng thought angrily as she approached Hu Linglong, casually picked up a piece of clothing, and tossed it over her.

But just then, Yun Sheng suddenly noticed that the blood on Hu Linglong, whose head was smashed by Dugu Xiu’s palm, gradually stopped flowing, and the wound quickly started changing, as though something was causing her body to transform.

The soft skin turned cyan-green, and her hair also changed to a gray color.

It resembled the rotten corpse Yun Sheng had seen earlier.

"Yun Sheng, there’s something on her left hand." Ye Beiming quickly noticed something was amiss.

A white light appeared on Hu Linglong’s hand, attempting to heal Hu Linglong’s wounds, but the glow was already dim.

It only healed part of the wounds, unable to bring Hu Linglong back to life.

It seemed due to insufficient power, it couldn’t continue healing Hu Linglong’s wounds.

Yun Sheng wouldn’t know, this was already the second time Hu Linglong had died, she had consumed a vast amount of witch power.

The source of the white light was Hu Linglong’s left wrist.

At this moment, Hu Linglong’s hand suddenly moved, and her body began to shake, as if trying to stand up.

"Corpse transformation?" Ye Beiming said instinctively, his eyes fixed on Hu Linglong’s left wrist.

With a "snap," Ye Beiming dug out something from Hu Linglong’s left hand.

It was a small white witch talisman, practically invisible to the naked eye.

As soon as the witch talisman left Hu Linglong’s hand, it shot towards Yun Sheng, who was closest.

Yun Sheng wouldn’t allow it to approach her, swiftly using the Heavenly Thorn Cage to trap the white witch talisman.

Once the witch talisman was gone, Hu Linglong’s body could no longer sustain itself, collapsing to the ground.

Due to the loss of the talisman’s effect, her body quickly turned into a dry corpse.

"We’d better leave here quickly." Yun Sheng felt it was not wise to stay; Ye Beiming grabbed Hu Linglong’s corpse, and together they left Dugu Mansion.

The two found Bo Bo and others staying at the inn.

Ye Beiming showed the dry corpse to Bo Bo.

"Wow? Is this a witch corpse? But this thing vanished many years ago, where did you get this witch corpse?" Bo Bo, upon hearing that the witch corpse was Hu Linglong, was stunned.

"Bo Bo, do you recognize this thing? Hu Linglong probably turned out this way because of it." Yun Sheng said, summoning the Heavenly Thorn Cage, which trapped the white talisman like a headless fly, bumping around aimlessly.

She then explained the whole story of the night’s events to Bo Bo and the others.

"Haha, it kills me with laughter, that red-haired freak really took a hit this time. But Master, this might just be the divine-level Light Witch Artifact you were looking for." When Bo Bo heard that Dugu Xiu was tricked by Ye Beiming, he laughed so hard tears almost came out.

Bo Bo didn’t know what the divine-level witch artifact in the hands of the Great Witch Doctor and others was until today.

"This kind of witch artifact is also known as the Life and Death Talisman. It must be nurtured with fresh human flesh and blood, dwelling inside a person’s body. As long as this kind of witch talisman remains within, regardless of whether it’s a human or a demon beast, it possesses terrifying healing powers. Not only that, it can harness the power of the talisman to perform Bright Healing. Hu Linglong’s Miracle Medical Skill beforehand was likely using this Life and Death Talisman." Bo Bo had heard of this talisman from some famous alchemists in the Divine World but had never seen it himself.

"So this kind of witch artifact can be considered a Divine Artifact." Yun Sheng couldn’t help but ask.

"Master, of course not, the word ’witch’ isn’t a good term. The Divine World doesn’t allow such Life and Death Talismans because when they’re in a human or demon beast, they gradually consume the blood energy and even the magic power and fighting spirit of the host. When the Life and Death Talisman drains all of these, the host is unable to sustain it, causing the talisman to emerge and transform into a witch corpse." Bo Bo recounted this and felt a shiver looking at Hu Linglong’s form.

Although she despised Hu Linglong, she hadn’t expected this woman would ultimately meet such a wretched end and become a witch corpse.

There’s a story behind the Life and Death Talisman, Bo Bo recalled and shared the tale with Yun Sheng and the others.

The Life and Death Talisman originally was a thing of the Divine World.

Bo Bo remembered her Mother Goddess, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, had mentioned it once; she said the Life and Death Talisman was created by a Female Main God of the Divine World to stay eternally united with her lover in the Human World.

That Female Main God was a lovestruck soul who promised a mortal man lifelong devotion after meeting him.

But her lover was human, and humans are subject to aging, illness, and death.

The Female Main God used the forbidden witchcraft method of the Divine World to create the Life and Death Talisman, granting eternal youth and immortality.

She crafted the talisman and implanted it in her lover’s body, allowing them to live a blissful life in the Human World, envying lovers more than immortals.

However, after about a hundred years, the affair about the Life and Death Mansion was unfortunately discovered by the Female Main God’s nemesis, who reported to the Divine World Divine Emperor.

For a human to become a god, they must undergo countless trials and traverse the Path of Gods to attain a godly fetus.

The Female Main God’s actions defied the Divine World’s rules, and learning of this, the Divine Emperor captured the Female Main God and her lover, bringing them back to the Divine World.

"What happened then?" Yun Sheng didn’t expect such a bloody talisman held such a backstory.

"That Main God was stripped of her godly fetus and banished to the Human World, while her lover was imprisoned in the Divine World. The Main God transformed the Divine Life and Death Talisman into a Witch Life and Death Talisman, surviving by devouring flesh and blood. The two were condemned to eternal separation, and later, the Life and Death Talisman vanished without a trace." Bo Bo had impressions of this story, likened to being moved by the Female Main God’s passion.

This tale left everyone silent.

Yun Sheng felt a deep melancholy in her heart.

Her and Ye Beiming’s plight bore some resemblance to that pitiful man-god romance.
