NOVEL NEXT Chapter 409 Heavenly Master 116
Lu Lei felt a cool sensation on his face. As he reached up to touch it, under the illumination of the light, there were two glistening droplets on his fingers!
Staring blankly at the droplets, Lu Lei felt nothing initially. However, for some unknown reason, upon seeing that couple, his formerly blank mind suddenly brimmed with emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sadness, grievance, bitterness, and even the urge to cry!
These emotions felt so unfamiliar, yet they made Lu Lei feel that they originally belonged to him. It was just that he had forgotten them, and now they were coming back to him!
Before Lu Lei could remain in a daze for long, the couple approached him with anxious expressions! As they moved forward, the glowing path finally extended to Lu Lei's feet!
Without giving Lu Lei a chance to react, the couple, who stirred up complex emotions in him, grabbed his hands from both sides. After speaking some words he couldn't comprehend, they started pulling him desperately along the path of light!
Lu Lei was startled and instinctively resisted. He turned to look at the luminous black cat that had been accompanying him, an animal Lu Lei found most reassuring and close.
But that luminous black cat, along with the couple, urged him on, meowing anxiously as if urging him to quickly follow the couple along the path!
Lu Lei had an instinctive trust and belief in the black cat that had wandered with him in the darkness for an unknown length of time. Since the cat also indicated for him to follow the couple, he felt reassured and ran forward with them.
Yet, as Lu Lei ran, he kept glancing back at the black cat, feeling more at ease only when he saw it was following him.
The woman beside Lu Lei seemed to notice his thoughts; she bent down, picked up the luminous black cat, and continued to drag Lu Lei forward.
At first, Lu Lei ran easily, but gradually, he began to feel his body becoming heavy! So heavy that he found it increasingly difficult to move his legs!
The darkness behind seemed to possess infinite suction, pulling his body backward and tugging at his footsteps, as if wishing to keep him forever trapped in that darkness.
A fear crept into Lu Lei's heart; he absolutely did not want to remain in the boundless darkness. He longed to follow this radiant path to reach a world of light! Yet, a more terrifying thought occurred as he noticed the once brilliant path beginning to dim!
The couple beside him, who had been able to run quickly with him, were now moving ever more slowly, with perplexed expressions occasionally flashing across their faces, and the radiant path beneath their feet becoming illusory!
Terrified, Lu Lei struggled desperately to run forward. The black cat, having been held by the woman, now jumped down and started desperately pushing Lu Lei forward, surprisingly managing to shove him onward!
Yet, with each step the black cat pushed Lu Lei forward, its glow dimmed a bit more. But Lu Lei, caught in his panic, failed to notice this, still striving desperately to run ahead!
However, the once expressive look on his face grew increasingly bewildered, and the various emotions that had arisen in his heart began to vanish quickly!
Outside, Shuangshuang watched grimly as the red rope at Lu Tianxing and his wife's waist faded from vibrant red, gradually turning more and more ethereal!
Irritated, Shuangshuang wondered what exactly the couple was doing. She had already instructed that they must exit immediately if the red rope started changing. They would have other opportunities to enter and try several times until they brought him out! Why wouldn't they listen and quickly exit!
As her frustration surged, causing a headache, Shuangshuang irritably rubbed her temples, unable to resist spinning in place, taking a deep breath. It was truly infuriating!
Shuangshuang was a Heavenly Master, and a Heavenly Master shouldn't let the soul leave the body because their physical strength was formidable. Their soul and body were more tightly linked compared to ordinary people. If a Heavenly Master forcibly separated their soul from their body, it would definitely cause great harm!
Moreover, once a Heavenly Master's soul leaves the body, the body alone, though powerful, is unusable and unprotected. If, at that time, some powerful ghost occupied the body, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Seeing the red rope becoming increasingly faint, Shuangshuang gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to go in personally and bring them out!
Shuangshuang's destination was not the Underworld that housed souls but rather the Yin Realm. As a living person entering the Reincarnation Road, it affected her more than life souls, which was why Shuangshuang hadn't planned to enter herself before!
However, now if she didn't intervene, the family of three was almost certainly doomed! Filled with a surge of emotional turmoil, Shuangshuang thought angrily that after this incident, she would blacklist this family. Even if the couple were being devoured by a ghost right in front of her, she wouldn't care anymore! They were simply incapable of understanding human words!
As she furiously resolved this in her mind, Shuangshuang stepped into the mirror, only to find the light path inside had faded to the point of near invisibility!
This light path was formed based on the memories of Lu Tianxing and his wife. Now that it's so faint, it indicated their memories were almost completely erased by the Reincarnation Road.
Shuangshuang had previously warned them that once the memories were lost, they would never return. As long as their memories became fuzzy, thinking about returning could instantly bring their life souls back to their bodies. Yet, the couple evidently had no intention of coming back and stubbornly held onto Lu Lei!
As soon as Shuangshuang entered the Yin Road, she unlocked her mana and swiftly advanced along the light path, hoping privately that they hadn't moved too far. The Reincarnation Road had a significant impact on a Heavenly Master, and as soon as Shuangshuang entered, her head began to buzz incessantly, with her memories from before her rebirth rapidly fading!
Fortunately, the Lu Tianxing family was not far from the exit. When Shuangshuang arrived, their expressions were all nearly the same—blank! Evidently, Lu Tianxing and his wife's memories had almost completely vanished, as the light path beneath them was nearly gone!
Shuangshuang waved her hand, and her mana gathered into a glowing long rope that instantly bound the life souls of all three family members! Without stopping, Shuangshuang spun around and started running back!
As she turned, Shuangshuang happened to spot a dimly glowing black cat lying exhausted in the darkness! The black cat's aura was so faint it was barely visible, and had it not been for its bright green eyes glowing in the darkness, Shuangshuang might not have noticed it!
This black cat was a Spiritual Body, and it looked markedly weak. Yet its bright green eyes were still fixed on Lu Lei with a deeply human-like look of reluctance and farewell!
