Chapter 135 How could the Yin Soldiers' Gathering be like this?!

How could this be?!

Being addressed as the young master, Shinju naturally assumed that the bundle contained an infant.

But this state, resembling that of a lifeless object...

It's hard to imagine what Lou Lan's feelings were as she carried it in her arms every day.

Could it be one of her three unborn children that died young?

Thinking too much was pointless; to deal with Lou Lan, he had to figure out her weakness. Shinju hardened his heart and unburdened himself—

Upon closer inspection, a charred lump, larger than the average baby, was found inside the bundle.

"A corpse?!" Just like Mayuki, Kigin stared in disbelief.

"..." It can only be said that it was expected, but when the true nature of the burden was revealed, Shinjuku had only one thought left: he would rather he had guessed wrong.

Fortunately, Shinju habitually scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered something amiss.

“No, there’s a flow of energy within him, though it’s very faint and intermittent, but I’m sure I’m not mistaken.” Shinju stared intently at the charred mass.

Ghost Silver was utterly astonished. He quickly transformed into a jellyfish and floated over, exclaiming in surprise, "It's actually alive?! That's demonic energy!"

“Not necessarily.” Shinju frowned, his expression unusually serious. “The eight-ring formation failed last time, but they must have tried it at least once before. That pile of indescribable limbs and remains is evidence.”

"However, if it had succeeded before, she wouldn't have needed to use me as bait to try and get His Majesty to perform the resurrection technique again."

Therefore, this young master can hardly be considered alive. He is most likely a product of failure, only more mysterious than a stagnant pool.

Perhaps there is still a possibility of resurrection?

While Shinjuku was still pondering whether there was any way, Oni-Gin had already used his tentacles to transfer the demonic energy he had stored up to the charred remains.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The charred, black mass, with no discernible head or feet, suddenly extended ten chubby, baby-like fingers, forcefully gripping the ghost silver's tentacles. Then, it opened a mysterious, round hole resembling a mouth, emitting a bluish-green glow, and slowly sucked at the tip of the tentacle.

Shinjuku immediately held his breath, not daring to move an inch, for fear of disturbing the little thing.

The silver jellyfish was also surprised, because it had only tried it randomly. Seeing this, it became very proud and rotated its umbrella so that the "eyes" on the side of the umbrella would all look at Shinjuku, as if to say, "Praise me!"

Just as Shinjuku was about to give him an approving look, Oni-Gin suddenly cried out in pain, "Don't bite! Don't bite! Ouch, it hurts so much!! Quick, help me pull this kid away!!"

It was seen that most of Ghost Silver's tentacles had been swallowed by the charred "ghost baby," and the little hand was gripping even tighter. Ghost Silver tried to float away, but instead pulled the ghost baby along with him and flew up.

"!!" Shinjuku quickly stepped forward, reaching out to support the ghost infant, and urged Oni-Gin to calm down, "Don't make such a big movement!" It looks like a charred charcoal!! It can't be dropped!! Shinjuku was about to collapse.

Soon it became a bizarre scene of one person, one jellyfish, and one charred remains, all in chaos within the spiritually rich cave.

"There really isn't any left!! Stop biting, I'm not for you to eat! Let go!!" Ghost Silver was still screaming, and Mayu had no choice but to put his hand into the ghost baby's mouth that was glowing with an evil light, trying to take out Ghost Silver's tentacles and replace them with his own hand.

Anyway, his true immortal body is as solid as a rock, and he is not afraid of being bitten by the ghost infant.

However, just after he successfully rescued Guiyin, a group of people emerged outside the cave. Lou Lan, who was leading the way, rushed in first and happened to witness the "horrifying" scene of Zhen Su reaching into the mouth of the ghost baby.

"Insolence!!!" The venomous aura of the ghost owl instantly spread throughout the cave, breaking every stone pillar, regardless of its thickness. As Lou Lan's blood-soaked roar reached Zhen Su's ears, Lou Lan instantly appeared beside him.

So fast! Just as Shinjuku was surprised, he was sent flying by a chain hammer with thorny flower roots stuck in it, and pollen scattered everywhere.

Shinju instinctively pulled the ghost baby into his arms, and even after he curled up and became deeply embedded in the stone wall, he still did not let go.

Lou Lan underestimated Zhen Su's power. Unexpectedly, she was unable to snatch the ghost baby from Zhen Su's hands and watched helplessly as Zhen Su flew away with her precious child. Her heart trembled with fear.

However, what happened next truly broke Lou Lan's heart and caused her to lose all reason.

Even though Shinjuku had already used his other arm and waist to absorb most of the impact for the ghost infant, he still had to tense all his muscles. Perhaps for this reason, the ghost infant shattered into a pile of scorched earth, which fell on Shinjuku.

Mayuki suddenly closed his eyes: "..."

Ghost Silver floated over in shock: "!!"

At this moment, Lou Lan's subordinates arrived, and the female cultivators all gasped in disbelief, rebuking Zhen Su: "Young Master!! You audacious madman, how dare you lay a hand on the Young Master?! Who sent you!"

Lou Lan stared intently at the scorched earth that Zhen Su had shaken off, his whole body trembling violently, and black blood gradually gushing from his seven orifices.

When Shinju saw her like that, he knew that explaining would be useless.

Sure enough, in the next instant, Lou Lan's chain hammer, accompanied by the wind, slammed down towards his head.

A fierce battle was inevitable.

Masaki took Lou Lan's heavy hammer blow with his bare fist!

The force of the punch exploded instantly, causing the entire cavern to shake violently. Amidst the intense tremors, the female cultivators managed to support each other and avoid falling.

This incredibly solid attack was actually caught by Zhen Su without even breaking his skin. The female cultivators were immediately on high alert and rushed forward to support Lou Lan.

Lou Lan was much taller than Zhen Su, so it should have been more difficult for her to attack Zhen Su, who was slightly lower. However, she was wielding a chain hammer, which she could easily swing to a lower position. Moreover, the chain's trajectory was unpredictable, and the attack angles were varied, making it extremely difficult to predict the direction of the hammer's attack.

Although Shinjuku was strong and sturdy, being hit by such a heavy hammer time and time again caused the flower buds on the chain hammer to spray out pollen, which had a hypnotic effect, and this effect was cumulative. When he was first knocked away, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he was still relatively clear-headed. However, after enduring five or six attacks that he could not dodge, Shinjuku's eyelids became increasingly heavy.

Lou Lan exuded a ruthless, fearless energy, while the female cultivators' attacks were somewhat restrained, but they filled the gaps left by Lou Lan's attacks, clearly indicating a great deal of coordination.

Ghost Silver wanted to clear Majutsu's name, but it was defeated in less than a short while after joining the battle and was anxiously pacing around.

While parrying the barrage of attacks, Shinjuku didn't forget to send a telepathic message to Oni-Gin: "Find a place to hide. I can handle this."

Guiyin felt that, according to its "persona," it should say a few sarcastic remarks to Shinjuku, but it didn't expect that Shinjuku wouldn't want to implicate it in this critical moment. It forced back its trembling voice and pretended to be calm, saying, "I understand. You're not allowed to die, do you hear me!"

Shinjuku slightly curled the corners of his lips, but his golden eyes deepened with fighting spirit, a fierce glint flashing across them.

Next, Zhen Su showed no sign of slowing down, and began to strike with rhythm and a strategy to break the formation, causing Lou Lan's face to gradually turn pale. The female cultivators gritted their teeth and transferred Yin energy to each other, barely managing to restore the formation's positions time and time again.

Despite the vast disparity in numbers, the two sides fought to a standstill, with the cavern on the verge of collapse and rocks and debris constantly falling from the ceiling. Meanwhile, the underground river was on the verge of being dried up by the constant bursts of wind and fire, with smoke and dust swirling around it.

"..." Lou Lan's breathing became heavy. He didn't understand why Zhen Su hadn't lost consciousness. His golden eyes, like those of a demon beast, were surprisingly bright.

Shinju would never let her know that he had deliberately ingested this flower poison used for hypnosis, which was why he had felt drowsy several times when the poison took effect. He didn't use poison to fight poison because he was thinking that he would definitely use this ready-made new poison to try and improve his Purple Mansion.

Unfortunately, the Purple Mansion Restriction only trembled for a short while before stopping.

It must be said that Lou Lan's relentless persistence was not easy for Zhen Su to handle, but his recent dual cultivation had greatly increased his cultivation level. If his "Ultimate Yin Body" were nurtured further, it might soon develop into a Yin-Yang Body that could transform at any time. At that time, with Yin and Yang reversed, evil spirits and filth would find it difficult to get close to him.

One side was trying to kill the other, while the other side was still worried about something and ultimately did not go all out.

Seeing that the chain hammer couldn't defeat Zhen Su, Lou Lan, whose reason had been completely torn apart within her Purple Mansion, suddenly opened her mouth and laughed chillingly, "Prepare to die!!!"

In an instant, Zhen Su felt a profound and immense force, like a whirlpool in the sea, surging from the spiritual spring beneath his feet, pulling him straight down. Meanwhile, wave after wave rippled out beneath his feet, with suspended runes lighting up between them.

Lou Lan silently chanted the array incantation. Zhen Su knew something was wrong, but he was already a step too late. He was now completely unable to move, and he was getting closer and closer to that terrifying power that could tear a person to pieces.

Seeing that Masuke remained motionless, Oni-Gin knew something was amiss. Just as Masuke was about to be swallowed by the dark river, it cried out in despair, "Master!!!"

As Shinjuku rapidly sank, his brows and eyes suddenly filled with pity and sorrow, and his neck quietly turned an intense black.

I'm sorry.
