(Quick Transmigration) Meat Eating Journey

Prequel (11-12)

Chapter 11

Why did Gu Yincheng kill Song Yang, who was also a disciple of the Luofu Sect? In the world of cultivation, such senseless harm against fellow disciples, even if done by a Nascent Soul True Lord, would be condemned by all.

For a moment, countless speculations flooded Ye Xuan's mind. Was he controlled by demonic cultivators, or was there something wrong with Song Yang? Although her thoughts were racing, Ye Xuan calmly summoned her sword light and slowly stepped back.

「Did you see everything?」 The man's voice was calm and indifferent.

Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat. This sentence... sounded exactly like the typical villain's line when their true identity is discovered.

Gu Yincheng seemed to read her thoughts. With a smile at the corners of his lips, he approached Ye Xuan step by step, holding the long sword still dripping with blood. Seeing Ye Xuan take a few more steps back, he couldn't help but laugh. 「Why are you running?」

「Don't, don't come any closer!」 Ye Xuan's eyes widened. 「If you take another step... I'll call for help!」

「Ha,」 the man chuckled softly, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, waving his hand at Ye Xuan. 「What are you thinking? Do you think I'm some big villain?」

「Uh...」 Ye Xuan realized she might have misunderstood and stopped in her tracks with a bit of annoyance. 「Then why did you kill Brother Song? Is he a spy from the demonic sect?」

「He has nothing to do with the demonic sect.」 Gu Yincheng had now reached Ye Xuan. He slightly bent down, looking down at her, with an indistinguishable undercurrent in his black eyes.

Wait a minute, Ye Xuan suddenly realized she might be too quick to trust Gu Yincheng. He said he wasn't a villain, and she didn't doubt him at all, immediately letting her guard down. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel a chill, her eyes wide with fear, her voice trembling. 「Then... why did you do it?」

Gu Yincheng didn't answer. He lightly stroked her cheek. 「Xiao Xuan, I'm glad you trust me so much.」

「Huh?」

「Sooner or later, I have to tell you. Today, I'll tell you the truth.」 Gu Yincheng paused and then slowly said five words, 「The King covers the land.」

「The Pagoda suppresses the river demon.」 Ye Xuan instinctively responded, and before she finished speaking, she was stunned.

「Now you understand,」 Gu Yincheng spread his hands. 「I am also a transmigrator.」

Sitting on the soft couch inside the small building, Ye Xuan was still in a daze.

Gu Yincheng had gone to deal with Song Yang's body and told her to rest inside. Alone, Ye Xuan began to process the explosive information she had just received.

Gu Yincheng used the word 「also」, which meant he had long known she was a transmigrator. This wasn't surprising, as Ye Xuan had once mentioned the term 「fuck buddy」 in front of him. With his sharp mind, how could he not have figured it out? But what did him being a transmigrator have to do with killing Song Yang?

When Gu Yincheng returned, Ye Xuan quickly asked him. The man laughed and said, 「I didn't kill him. To be precise, the real Song Yang died long ago. The body was taken over by another transmigrator.」 He handed her the sword that killed Song Yang. 「Take a closer look. What's different about this sword compared to ordinary artifacts?」

Ye Xuan carefully examined it but found nothing unusual. She looked at Gu Yincheng with a puzzled expression.

Her pitiful look amused him. Gu Yincheng couldn't help but pinch her cheek. After she slapped his hand away, he smiled and said, 「This isn't a sword. It's a tool for extracting the consciousness of transmigrators.」 As he spoke, Ye Xuan thought of a possibility. Gu Yincheng continued, 「Unlike Song Yang, he is an illegal transmigrator, whereas I am a legal one.」
