During the conversation, there was a sudden earthquake. Although it was very light, several people still tensed their heartstrings.
"Someone is attacking the Fengdu
boundary." Cui Jue said, "From the outside. It should be Fan Wu She."
"I'm afraid it's creating a diversion." Night Patrol said, "Even if this is the time when the Fengdu boundary is the weakest, without the Heavenly Secret Talisman, it is impossible for him to destroy the boundary with his own power."
Xie Bi An nodded: "He has the soul-hooking
rope in his hand, which is able to open the Yin Yang Monument. Other than the
Yin Yang Monument, he has no other way to enter the Underworld. This move must
be to weaken the guards of the Yin Yang Monument."
"I'll go check it out." Night
Patrol disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.
"You took away the Shanhe Sheji Map and disrupted his plan. Now that he can't enter Jiuyou, he won't pose a threat for now. What really worries me is the Red Ghost King who is nowhere to be found and is planning something."
"No news from all the Yin servants
dispatched?"
Cui Jue shook his head: "As he
said, Jiuyou is the ghost citizens’ Jiuyou. He is far more familiar with Jiuyou
than we are. If he deliberately wants to hide, there is no way to find him in
this boundless territory.
"Was the Red Palace extra guarded? He has hidden so many heavenly treasures in the Red Palace, as well as the secret passage to Hell."
"I have sent Ox Head and Horse Face* to personally lead the troops to guard it, and also personally laid down a spiritual sense. If he returns to the Red Palace, I will know immediately."
Xie Bi An couldn't help but ponder, "Now that a large number of ghosts have returned to earth, and there is a battle between the Immortal Alliance and the Cangyu Sect in the city. At such a chaotic time, whatever he wants to do, it's time to make his move."
Cui Jue knitted his brows:
"Unless, he doesn't intend to make a move in Jiuyou."
"What do you mean?"
"We have guessed that he would make a move on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, and as a Ghost King, he naturally can exert his full strength in the ghost realm and can command more of his men, but what if we’ve guessed wrong?" Cui Jue's face became increasingly ugly, "This person cannot be predicted with common sense. If he also came to create a diversion ..."
Xie Bi An's heart also fell straight
down: "Back then in Chidi City, he threatened master with the safety of
the people in the city, and now he can do the same trick again and force me to
leave the Heaven Master Palace."
The earth trembled again, much more
violently than the previous time, Bo Zhu fearfully grabbed Xie Bi An's sleeve:
"White Master, we have never had earthquakes here."
Xie Bi An held his hand: "Don’t
be afraid."
"Back then, the Supreme Demon tore the Fengdu boundary. Since it’s similar this time, it should be the Supreme Demon who is doing it. If it’s Jiang Qu Lian, perhaps he will directly open the Ghost Gate."
"Opening the Ghost Gate is extremely energy-consuming, Jiang Qu Lian wouldn't make a killer move right from the start."
Cui Jue said, "I'll go check it
out first. Bi An, you stay at the Heaven Master Palace."
"I will also ..."
"You stay!" Cui Jue scolded,
"Don't fall for their scheme."
Xie Bi An heaved a heavy breath,
"You be careful."
After Cui Jue left, an earthquake came from time to time, and one wave was more violent than the other, as if it could really shake all of Jiuyou.
But Xie Bi An An is not worried about the safety of the boundary. With the Eastern Emperor Bell to guard it, even the former Supreme Demon may not be able to open it. Whether it's Fan Wu She or Jiang Qu Lian, they'll attack the boundary to distract the troops at most. However, the situation is still very dangerous. Once the boundary is unstable and the guards are dispersed, many sinful ghosts and fierce ghosts, who cannot go to earth, may take advantage of the chaos to get out and do evil, posing a threat to the people in Fengdu.
There were noises from outside of the Heaven Master Palace. Xie Bi An ran to the door and saw a large number of Yin servants rushing to the direction of the Yin Yang Monument. Many of the Yin servants were not in human form, but in the form of a human with the face of a beast. These Yin servants specialize in animal souls. They usually don't care about human souls, nor do they do inspections and supervision. Yet, right now they're deployed over here. It's evident that something bad happened outside and there aren't enough guards.
Xie Bi An stopped an Yin servant: "What's going on?"
"Return to White Master, we have
just received an order from Official Lord Cui that a large number of evil
ghosts and grieving souls have crossed the boundary and gone to earth!"
Xie Bi An only felt a blackness in
front of his eyes. What he feared most still happened.
"White Master, we have just received an order from Official Lord Cui that a large number of evil ghosts and grieving souls have crossed the boundary and have gone to earth!"
"They are forcing me to go out.
If I don't go out, the people will suffer in vain."
Bo Zhu firmly pulled Xie Bi An back
inside: "White Master, don't go, please, don't go."
"Bo Zhu ..." Xie Bi An
tried to pry open his hand, but found that the boy's hand grip was not weak.
Bo Zhu choked: "Don't go. I'm afraid that you won't come back, like Heaven Master."
Xie Bi An's body trembled. He held Bo
Zhu's hand and said softly: "Life and death have a fate. No matter what
kind of fate, I have to face it."
Bo Zhu was teary-eyed: "I don't
want to be the only one left in this huge Heaven Master Palace."
"If, if I also ...," Xie Bi An touched Bo Zhu's head, "You just go and reincarnate. Official Lord Cui will help you to reincarnate in a good family."
Bo Zhu was pulling Xie Bi An, refusing to let go. Xie Bi An comforted him with a few words, then ruthlessly pushed him away.
--
When Xie Bi An arrived at the Yin
Yang Monument, he was almost dumbfounded.
The several feet high Yin Yang Monument had been cut off diagonally, leaving a remnant wall standing in its original spot. The three words "Yin Yang Monument" were already incomplete, and the boundary was constantly under attack. Many ghosts that should not go to earth took advantage of the opportunity to get out. The quantity was huge and hard to guard against. Hence, a large batch of Yin servants had no choice but to proceed to earth to pursue and capture them.
"Who did it?" Xie Bi An
said in a stern voice. After he finished asking, he already had an answer. Who
else could it be to have the ability to open the Yin Yang Monument and brandish
a sword with such power?
The Yin servants said with a
trembling voice: "It's the Supreme Demon."
The green jade stick in Xie Bi An's
hand slashed, and the Yin Yang Monument slowly receded to the side. A
disordered earth reflected in front of his eyes.
Fan Wu She sensed something and
slowly turned around, glaring coldly at Xie Bi An. A pair of eyes were filled
with blood vessels.
The inside and outside of the Yin Yang Monument, one side is the ghost city, the other side is the earth. One Yin and one Yang, one dead and one alive. They're obviously not far apart, but they seemed to be separated by an insurmountable rift, because the real alienation was the distance between each other's hearts.
Xie Bi An said coldly: "You want
me to bring you to Jiuyou. Come ah, walk in here. I can bring you and find the
Heavenly Secret Talisman now."
"Hand over the Shanhe Sheji Map." Fan Wu She walked step by step toward Xie Bi An, as if each step rumbled on the heart.
"You come and snatch it."
Fan Wu She held his sword in one hand and with another hand he held a black jade in his palm: "If you're hurt, you asked for it."
"When have you ever cared?"
Xie Bi An stared blankly at Fan Wu She.
The black jade soul token emits an ethereal black death aura. Fan Wu She revealed a cold smile: "The Fengdu boundary guarded by the Eastern Emperor Bell is indeed unbreakable, but it has a very weak point, and that is the one that connects the two worlds of humans and ghosts, and is frequented by the Yin servants---- the Yin Yang Monument."
"Just with the soul token in your
hand, you want to defeat thousands of Yin servants?"
Fan Wu She fiercely released his spiritual pressure and injected it into the black jade soul token. The black death aura rose and curled up, followed the evil spiritual pressure and is amplified constantly. Many Yin servants and ghosts that were close by became his pawns instantly, defending him against the attacks of other Yin servants.
Xie Bi An stepped out of the Yin Yang Monument, held his sword and stabbed towards Fan Wu She. The top-notch sword skills confronted once again, and the momentum was like a rolling torrent with an incessant crossing of swords going back and forth.
When fighting against Fan Wu She's sword, one must not neglect a single thing, but Xie Bi An still can't stop thinking about where Jiang Qu Lian is and what he really wants.
SQC’s note: Tomorrow's chapter is very important and will be a bit longer. Xiaohei is about to learn the truth about the past life. I’m getting excited at the thought of finally writing about it

Ox Head and Horse Face*[牛头马面]---These two are underworld guards in chinese mythology. As their name suggests, one has the head of an ox and the other the face of a horse. They are often depicted as directly escorting the dead to hell and that no soul can escape them.

I have been waiting for that for a long time, can't wait the moment zzx learn the truth
ReplyDeleteBo Zhu choked: "Don't go. I'm afraid that you won't come back, like Heaven Master."
ReplyDeleteXBA: Boy, have you forgotten that I'm the MC? 🙄
I have a feeling Fang Wu She will get hurt protecting Xie Bi An because he took the Shanji Map from him and was unable to protect his beloved. Only when Xie Bi An see Fang Wu She die will he truly accept this love in his heart. Haaaa. So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing they can do is fight! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteGreat. You stole the map but you don't know how to use it. You also made FWS angry. XBN is so good at hurting people. So selfish!!!
