Chapter 181: Chapter 181

The divine power repaired the white jade Buddhist beads, and at the moment when the cracks healed, the divine power also spread throughout Xie Jiuxiao’s entire body.

The malevolent spirits that had entered his body were like rats seeing a cat; they had squeezed in delightfully before, but now they fled in panic, leaving Xie Jiuxiao’s body in droves.

In the endless darkness, when the malevolent spirits tried to launch a fierce strike, attempting to pull the two people down with a whirlpool, a golden halo burst forth from the white jade Buddhist beads.

It instantly wiped out the surrounding malevolent spirits.

Xie Jiuxiao opened his eyes, with lingering traces of coldness and ferocity in his gaze. It seemed that while the malevolent spirit possessed him earlier, some of it was absorbed by the Taiyin Evil.

"Xie Jiuxiao, are you okay? Is the Taiyin Evil still active?"

In a moment of urgency, Yu Nianzhao reached her hand in and randomly felt around his chest.

When Xie Jiuxiao saw Yu Nianzhao, the coldness in his eyes melted significantly.

Feeling the small hand on his chest, Xie Jiuxiao’s ears turned red, and he awkwardly turned his head aside, "Why did you follow me down here?"

"Phew! Luckily, the Taiyin Evil didn’t absorb much malevolent spirit!"

Not sensing the active range of the Taiyin Evil, Yu Nianzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You said it, don’t you know your own constitution? Being dragged down , don’t you care about your life?"

Xie Jiuxiao pressed his thin lips, "Reflex action."

She didn’t know what to say; she couldn’t argue that a reflex to save her was a bad thing.

"Forget it, let’s hurry and leave this place first."

Yu Nianzhao grabbed Xie Jiuxiao’s hand, exerting some force, and they left the darkness through the exit.

"What kind of place was that?"

Xie Jiuxiao looked back, seeing the malevolent spirits in the darkness poking out their ferocious heads, staring at them with a covetous gaze until the dark whirlpool completely disappeared.

"It’s an unknown realm in the netherworld!"

Yu Nianzhao stood up, patted the dust off her body, "Without a ghost guide in the netherworld, souls either become wandering ghosts or fall into the crevices, and this crevice is an unknown realm. In that realm, the road has no end, and most of the spirits filled with obsession finally dissipate completely."

"Sounds similar to the Underworld Path we visited before." Xie Jiuxiao pondered.

"It’s different. On the Underworld Path, there is hope of returning to the underworld for reincarnation if there’s a guide lamp. But, as you saw just now, in the unknown realm, those malevolent spirits filled with deep obsessions want to drag you down, devour your flesh, and strengthen themselves. They hope to escape one day to find a substitute; being dragged down means certain death."

Yu Nianzhao shook her head, her eyes cold, "I never expected anyone could open the door to this unknown realm; it’s truly interesting!"

[Indeed, how can anyone in the human world know how to open the door to the unknown realm? If these malevolent spirits are released, the world will be thrown into chaos.]

[The Master has been asleep for so many years, who knows what happened during that time.]

[After a whole century, the Master finally awakens; something must have happened when he entered the human world back then.]

[Who could erase the Master’s memory?]

[It’s truly bizarre!]

Jiu Ying was chirping away, but his words were all heard by Yu Nianzhao.

Indeed, the Ghost Emperor’s escape was something from a hundred years ago; to a ghost, a hundred years might be a mere moment, but what exactly happened? Her mind was blank, and she had no impression of it at all!

Eerie, truly too eerie!

While pondering, a monster let out a roar, struggling constantly, unable to move due to being bound by divine power.

"Such a monster created without humanity has no meaning in existence."

Yu Nianzhao spread open her palm, and the Blade of Judgment flew into her hand.

She walked over slowly, looked at the monster with pity, and unhesitatingly slashed its head off with a reverse grip.

Malevolent spirits surged from the wound, forming skulls that tried to grab Yu Nianzhao.

Without the blessing of divine power, Yu Nianzhao picked up a talisman and pasted it on the monster’s remaining body, finally calming the malevolent spirits, though the limbs still twitched chaotically.

The entire space of the ghost domain was constantly twisting and trembling, seemingly under great influence.

"This place can’t hold on any longer, we can leave the ghost domain now."

Yu Nianzhao’s lips curved, light glistening in her eyes, "Tsk, this unfortunate thing playing such a trick, isn’t this courting death? I destroyed the corpse ghost and forcibly closed the unknown realm. Even if he doesn’t die this time, he’ll suffer a great deal; the backlash alone is enough for him to have a hard time."

Yu Nianzhao helped Dongfang Chenyue onto the carriage, and guiding the carriage through the twisted air wall, they left the ghost domain.

"Prince, Princess, Yue!"

Dongfang Chenyuan was outside gathering spiritual power, continuously trying to reopen the ghost domain, only to see the air twist and Yu Nianzhao and the others come out, causing him to cry tears of joy.

"We’re fine, Chenyue is poisoned by the corpse toxin. Check on her first."

Yu Nianzhao handed the carriage to him, "Please also protect my carriage; my money is inside!"

Dongfang Chenyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded vigorously.

Behind them, in the disappearing ghost domain, the monster’s dropped head continued to roar, but the sound grew fainter, heralding its imminent end.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, as the ghost domain completely dissipated, a cloud of black mist rushed towards them with full force.

Dongfang Chenyuan’s face changed dramatically, casting several talismans, all of which were torn apart by the malevolent spirits halfway.

"Darn it, these malevolent spirits have such strong resentment that my special talismans can’t stop them? Are we truly at a dead end today?"

Dongfang Chenyuan cried out miserably.

Xie Jiuxiao called out to her, just about to reach out and pull her into his arms. The source of this content ɪs ⓝovelFire.net

But Yu Nianzhao interlocked her fingers with his first; at the instant their heartbeats synchronized, Xie Jiuxiao seemed to see a universe in Yu Nianzhao’s eyes.

She said, "Don’t panic, don’t fear! With me here, and you here! Everything will be just fine."

Yu Nianzhao made a one-handed seal, and divine power erupted from the Buddhist beads on Xie Jiuxiao, enveloping them in a natural protective barrier.

The surge of malevolent spirits crashed into the barrier of divine power, letting out painful wails, effortlessly annihilating those ferocious malevolent spirits into the air.
