I don't know when Fu Yiyun left, because the moment I closed my eyes, I lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark. I had been lying in the Graveyard for an unknown amount of time.
Struggling to stand up, I felt as if death was beyond my reach; the heavens insisted on making me endure suffering in this world.
The thought of the Gu Poison Punishment made me shrink my neck in fear.
Those who had previously faced the Gu Poison Punishment experienced a horrifying fate—countless Gu worms would burst forth from their skin, crawling all over their bodies in an instant.
Every inch of flesh would be devoured beyond recognition, leading to a gruesome demise.
There would be no remains left, not even scraps of flesh.
I wandered aimlessly down the road, unsure of where to go.
I had no home; I was originally a beggar on the streets.
At the age of fourteen, the Saintess discovered my unique constitution. She didn't want my reputation to overshadow hers.
In the Hehuan Sect, the best way to achieve that was to compete with men. The one I desperately sought but could never attain was someone I loved deeply.
For the past three years, my relentless pursuit of Fu Yiyun was part of her plan to eliminate someone more talented than herself.
And I was nothing but a complete failure. The Saintess knew that the Heartless Sect Leader's favored disciple had a fondness for her, which is why she suggested that I seduce him, confident that I would not succeed.
No one knew that she had placed Gu Poison on me; even if I spoke out, no one would believe me.
In everyone's eyes, the Saintess was pure and untainted, indifferent to the world.
"Hey, what a pretty little thing," a lewd voice interrupted my thoughts. I saw three men ahead who were clearly up to no good, and instinctively stumbled back a few steps before turning to run.
But I had no strength left; I barely managed to take two steps before collapsing to the ground.
All three men were mere mortals. Normally, they wouldn't be able to touch a hair on my head, but now I was devoid of spiritual power and severely injured. At this moment, I could probably be overpowered by a kitten.
The men quickly caught up with me. One of them, who had lost an eye, asked the overweight man beside him, "Big Brother, this should be the woman, right?"
"Absolutely. The location given to us by our master is right here. There are no other living beings within a hundred miles except for her."
The man grinned wickedly as he approached me. I twisted my body, desperately trying to stand up and escape.
"Once you cross the Saintess, you can only count yourself unlucky!" The man’s hands were already on me, pulling me beneath him.
The man beside him hesitated for a moment and asked, "Big Brother, are we really going to tell her it was the Saintess who ordered this? Is that really okay?"
My clothes had already been torn halfway off, and the man took a moment to say, "What a load of nonsense."
"Didn't you hear the Saintess say that this woman has already been poisoned with Gu Poison?"
"Once her body is breached, the poison that would normally take three months to take effect will act immediately. He won't even have his life left to worry about anything."
"That's true, haha."
The man covered my mouth, and I could only make muffled sounds. I bit down hard on my lip, tasting a hint of blood.
Suddenly, I remembered the communication stone that Gu Tian and Fu Yiyun had left for me in my spiritual sea.
If I shattered this stone, Fu Yiyun would know. The stone would reflect Fu Yiyun's current situation, but he wouldn't be able to hear my voice; he could only sense the shattering of the stone.
But he would definitely understand that I wouldn't break the stone without reason. He would be able to track me through the talisman within the stone and come to rescue me.
