Chapter 550: Chapter 550

The reaction of the male ghost in red robes upon seeing Yue Xuexia is mixed with fear, confusion and disbelief. Among these three emotions the first one was the strongest. That’s why the ghost didn’t dare to move recklessly when the Moon Goddess arrived. Shen Jueyang wasn’t surprised when Yue Xuexia asked this male ghost in red robes if he knew her.

However, according to his memories, he had never met this person. Most God Kings are known to him who was an Immortal Emperor at that time and this person was someone he had never seen before. Moreover, this ghost seems to be only afraid of Yue Xuexia and not to him who possessed a higher cultivation realm. This left him surprised.

Shen Jueyang snapped his fingers in front of the ghost and said, "Hey! Answer her. Do you know my Xue’er somewhere?"

The male ghost in red robe mumbles in shock. "Xue?!!" Fuck! It’s really her!

"P-Pl-Please don’t erase me. Merciless Empress!"

Everyone was stunned while Yue Xuexia looked confused. She didn’t understand why this ghost he had just today would call him Merciless Empress. Though she likes the title of the Empress, why call her merciless? She only kills those who deserved it and to protect his people from harm. Read complete versıon only at novelFirｅ.net

Yue Xuexia frowned and retorted, "Who are you calling Merciless Empress? I’m the Moon Goddess!"

"M-Moon Goddess?" The male ghost in red robes looked at her in disbelief.

All of the sudden, Yue Xuehua took over the body of Yue Xuexia and her black eyes turned silver. The former Moon Empress stares at the ghost in front of her. The ghost and the Immortal Sun Emperor noticed the change in the Moon Goddess.

The male ghost in red commented, "Eh? Her soul changed?" But it doesn’t seem like a complete change but a huge change in demeanor.

Shen Jueyang spoke with a worried look. "Hua you can come out?!"

Yue Xuehua gave him a cold glance and answered, "Is that a surprise? Xia and I are one person. She is not willing to merge with me. Of course, I can borrow her body with permission."

After giving the annoying man a sneer, the former Moon Empress questions the ghost in front of him.

"You... have seen someone who looks exactly like us? You called her Merciless Empress. Where is she right now? If you answer honestly we will return this body to you. Since it had become a puppet you can also freely leave this tomb. What do you think?" Yue Xuehua said.

Shen Jueyang added, "If you don’t agree you can have a taste of this flame of mine."

A golden flame appeared in his palm. This is a purification flame made up of holy attributes. It can make one soul burn slowly while suffering from extreme pain in the process. It’s very useful for ghosts full of resentment like the one in front of them, or against demons born from the darkness.

"Oh my God! A Holy Flame! I will tell you everything I know. I swear!"

The male ghost in red robes panicked when he saw the holy flame. This fire wouldn’t scare him much when he is alive, but as a ghost born from resentment of war, blood and death, this is no different than his nemesis. It is something that can make him perish, not allowing him to reincarnate or be reborn.

"The Merciless Empress is the Goddess who revered blood and Shura. She is born from the darkness of this world and is one of the strongest of our era. Her face... It looks exactly like yours. No, she is definitely you!"

The male ghost in red robes stares at Yue Xuehua as if he is staring at the Merciless Empress. He wanted to look but was afraid. He can only peek and only stare when she is not looking at him. This fear is instinctive and something that is not in control of this ghost.

"However, there is one difference... Your eyes. Hers is crimson blood, like a perfect polish rubies dyed in fresh blood.."

The Moon Empress blinked and her silver eyes turned black. Yue Xuehua is no longer around and Yue Xuexia has once again taken over. All of the sudden, before anyone could react, Yue Xuexia grabbed the ghost by his neck and unexpectedly was able to touch him.

"There is one thing that you are wrong about. That Merciless Empress of yours. She cannot be me. I am who I am and not even Hua can be considered as I am!" Yue Xuexia asked as white flames appeared in her hands.

It burns the soul directly making the male ghost in red robes covered in it. The others can hear his agonizing screams.

"AHHH! You are refining me! How could you!?" The male ghost in red robes said.

Under everyone’s eyes, this male ghost had turned into a soul orb at the size of a palm. She threw the soul orb to the Immortal Sun Emperor nonchalantly.

"This material is barely enough for the array. Let’s capture a few more," Yue Xuexia said.

Shen Jueyang nodded his head and threw a wisp of golden flame in the whole area. Except for those monks hiding inside their golden bell, all others who were hiding before had now come out. There are at least thousands of souls sleeping in this battlefield and they were all filled with resentment and the scent of blood and death.

The Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor had worked together to refine the souls in the area. Though it is soul refinement it was completely opposite of the male ghost who offended Yue Xuexia before. This time they lead their souls into reincarnation and only turn their resentment into a soul orb which they needed. Shen Jueyang noticed something at the corner and controlled his qi to grab it. It’s a recently bloomed black lotus or the Hell Lotus.

After everything was resolved the treasures in the field, broken or not, can now be easily touched. Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang were not interested in this and just took the soul orbs they came for.

Meanwhile, the three monks upon seeing that the area was safe, the golden bell that acted as a barrier around them had been retracted. They bow their heads towards their saviors.

"Thank you for saving us, Benefactors!"

"Senior Hu, the place I’ve pointed out before, you must go before the end of the second day," Yue Xuexia said. "Also beware of Evil Cultivators."

"We will keep your words in mind, Benefactor Yue," said the Buddha’s Heir, Monk Hu Tengyu as they saw the two out of the tomb.

After the two seniors are out of the tomb, the three monks remain. Though they weren’t interested in material things, heaven and earth treasures which increased their affinity to Buddha or increased their cultivation was something they can hardly pass on. Moreover, they needed the fruit of the Tree of Life to save their old abbot.

Monk Hu Gu whispered to his Senior Brother, "Shixiong, are the two seniors not interested in those artifacts? Even though it’s broken it can at least be changed into points."

"They can even trade semi-divine grade weapons. Those broken things are not much in their eyes. Moreover... they look like they are gathering materials for a different reason," Monk Hu Ren said.

Monk Hu Tengyu recalled what the Moon Goddess had told him about the Tree of Life and mumbles, "It seems the fruit of the Tree of Life would ripen in a day from now. We need to move faster now."

Monk Hu Ren and Monk Hu Gu said collectively as the three of them went back into the tomb and took away the most precious ones and left the rest for the others who might find the tomb. They immediately headed to the location of the Tree of Life intending to focus on it this time.

Meanwhile after Shen Jueyang and Yue Xuexia had taken their leave, on their way to the next location of the material, Shen Jueyang pulled out the Hellotus he picked in that ancient battlefield and gave it to Yue Xuexia.

His Xue’er like lotus flowers.

"Xue’er, take this. Something you might like," the Immortal Sun Emperor said.

Yue Xuexia, who was focusing on her Xiao Jin, the golden lotus flower bud, suddenly looked at the flower in Shen Jueyang’s hand. She immediately recognized it thanks to the knowledge of being the Divine Doctor.

The Moon Goddess looked delighted, "A newly bloomed Hell Lotus? Is it from that Ancient Battlefield?" She took it happily in her hands.

This Hell Lotus is as its name suggests. It’s a lotus flower born in the netherworld’s river. It grows with nutrients from countless corpses and it has an effect to see through one’s soul. They are proof that hell truly exists.

Yue Xuexia smiled at the Hell Lotus before keeping it in her inner world. She said, "Thank you. I like it."

"You’re welcome. I will find more for you in the Immortal World," Shen Jueyang said.

However, there is no response from the Moon Goddess. After all, it was unknown if they would still be together once they had ascended to the Immortal Realm.
