Chapter 45

Qi Yue quickly asked, "Besides the Blood Evil, what else is sealed here?"

Qi'an: "Ah? Didn't I tell you? At that time, the evil spirit of the blood evil infected thousands of people in the nearby villages and towns, turning them into his zombie puppets. After being sealed by us, those zombie puppets were also sealed in this ancient house with him. It was unwilling to be sealed, and has been doing a lot of tricks in secret over the years, including refining those zombies into zombies. However, I have spent all my energy to stabilize the seal and have no time to care about other things. I can only let it do these harmless tricks for the time being.

"I didn't expect that thing to be so cunning. Its ultimate purpose wasn't to refine zombies, but to create excessive Yin and resentment during the process, forming a corpse evil. By the time I discovered it, the corpse evil was almost formed and I couldn't stop it. To prevent it from joining forces with the corpse evil, I had to seal them separately. Oh, and you also fought against the corpse evil. Yes, that thing in the dry well."

“…”

Qi Yue's face turned grim. Anything tainted with the word "Sha" was considered a dangerous omen. Even a Ghost King would have to consider their own strengths when encountering one. Thinking carefully, even against the Celestial Master Association, only the president and elders could have a chance of victory. As for Xue Tinghe, he was nothing more than a gilded straw bag. His talent, his inherited talisman, and the Qi family's numerous profound techniques were wasted.

As for the Special Management Bureau, there is no need to say more. The Tianshi Association has controlled the Tianshi world for so many years, and anyone with some ability has joined the Tianshi Association. What they can recruit are only the low-level Tianshi who do not have much strength. With more people, they can join forces with the Special Management Bureau to counter the Tianshi Association, which is also a human being. Moreover, the Tianshi of the Tianshi Association have to surrender to the gun of the Special Management Bureau if they do not want to commit treason.

But the corpse demon will not talk to you about family, country and the world, and it may not even be rational.

So after all the counting, he was the only one who could deal with the corpse evil, but he had already entered the inner space of the seal, isolated from the outside world, and it was unknown whether he would be able to rescue them in time. Shuangshuang was still in the old house!

Thinking of this, Qi Yue's humanity could no longer be maintained and he wanted to turn around and go back immediately.

"Stop!" Qi'an stopped him. "The blood evil is already destroying the seal. It won't be long before it breaks out. Once it's out, it won't even have to do anything. Its evil spirit will turn everyone in the ancient house into its living dead puppets. What's the point of you going back now? We're already here. The best thing to do now is to quickly destroy the blood evil first, and then get rid of the corpse evil. Don't worry, I'm the formation spirit, and the formation is my body. Although I have to do my best to suppress the blood evil and prevent it from coming out, I can still mobilize a few formations to temporarily isolate the corpse evil. It's just that we moved too quickly."

Qi Yue also understood this logic, but he had no choice but to suppress his inner anxiety and irritability. He and Qi An quickened their pace with murderous intent, hoping that they would both be safe before he killed the bloody demon.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He asked in a displeased tone, "Didn't we suppress the Corpse Demon together? How did it get out again?"

Qi An was even more furious when he mentioned this: "It's all because of that group of evil Heavenly Masters! I've been waiting here for over two hundred years, hoping day and day that someone from my clan would find this place soon, or that another Heavenly Master would find this place and help me contact the Qi family. Six years ago, my wait finally came true. A group of Heavenly Masters discovered this place, and before I could happily show up, I heard them discussing how to use the sealing formation here to suppress ghosts and monsters so that they could build a soul refining formation on top to refine soul power for their cultivation.

"I was completely stunned. These people looked so righteous, yet I never expected them to be a group of evil Celestial Masters who had gone astray and were looking to cultivate their souls. I was so furious that I wanted to show up and teach them a lesson. But I didn't expect that thing to be so cunning and take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. After I spent a long time and nearly risked my life to finally suppress it, I looked back and found that the soul refining formation had been set up."

Qi An was both angry and helpless. "With the Blood Demon watching closely, I've held on for so long, and I'm already at the end of my rope. If I'm not careful, the Blood Demon will take advantage of me. I'm really powerless. I can't do anything. I can only try my best to protect those ghosts who haven't harmed anyone and prevent them from being destroyed. I just sensed that the Soul Refining Formation has been broken by someone outside. Those ghosts were finally rescued, but many ghosts still couldn't hold on and their souls were destroyed.

But it doesn't matter. I've already used a method to collect their residual soul fragments. After we resolve the matter here and leave, you can use our Qi family's soul gathering formation to gather their souls. Then let them receive incense for a period of time to nourish their souls, and then you can send them to reincarnation."

Qi Yue nodded in agreement. They didn't think they would be unable to leave here today. No matter how powerful the Blood Demon was, with the two members of the Qi family joining forces, especially one of them had so many merits in saving the world, even if they couldn't kill it, they could still seal it again.

Qi'an continued, "That soul refining formation is incredibly sinister. Not only can it refine ghosts into pure soul power for cultivation, it can also strip away the resentment within them. Over the years, they've brought in countless vengeful spirits and evil spirits from nowhere. The accumulation of so much resentment has not only formed ghostly vipers, but has also gradually corroded the sealing formation, leaving weaknesses within it.

Don't let me know which jerk came up with such a sinister soul-refining formation, or I'll curse him for three lifetimes to be so unlucky that he'll fall down when he goes out, choke on water, get dumped in love, and fail in everything he does, and suffer a tenfold backlash. "

“…”

Qi Yue said slowly, "That's not necessary. The formation is inert, just like a tool. There's no good or evil. The evil ones are the ones who use it. Perhaps the original purpose of the person who came up with this formation wasn't to refine souls, but to quickly strip away the resentment of the evil spirits so they can be liberated as soon as possible."

"How do you know?" Qi An turned his head suddenly and stared at him.

Qi Yue felt a little guilty after being stared at: "I guessed."

Qi An didn't quite believe it. Qi Yue was about to drive him into PTSD. He felt that Qi Yue's serious rebuttal was equivalent to saying: Yes, that bastard is me.

Qi Yue quickly changed the subject, "Those people are from the Heavenly Master Association. Ironically, the Heavenly Master Association was founded by our Qi family. But now it has become like this."

He then recounted the appearance of the Ghost Gate seven years ago, how he had sacrificed himself to seal it, and how the Celestial Masters Association had been ungrateful. He subtly played the victim.

When Qi'an heard him say that the president of the Tianshi Association and the elders were reluctant to let him sacrifice himself at first, but when they heard that he was half-ghost and might very well turn into an evil blood demon that would endanger the world, they immediately turned hostile. Not only did they take away his credit, but they also tried to trick him in various ways, making him so angry that he couldn't rest in peace even after his death. So they turned into ghosts to find him. He was furious and cursed: "Bullshit! A bunch of ignorant idiots! What do they know? How can my Qi family be compared to others? It's not just some small negative energy and resentment. My Qi family has always been firm in their Taoism and sticks to their original intentions. How could they turn into bloodthirsty, cruel and ruthless monsters? They are a bunch of short-sighted, self-righteous fools. No wonder they have fallen to the point of doing something that is against the harmony of nature like refining souls!"

Qi Yue glanced sideways, seeing that he had completely forgotten who had vowed that even if Qi's family members became blood demons, they would sooner or later be affected by the negative energy and resentment from all sides and completely lose their humanity.

I can only say that they are worthy of being members of the Qi family. This arrogance, double standards and protectiveness are simply inherited from the same lineage.

Qi An felt deeply sorry for Qi Yue's situation. After feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly realized why Qi Yue hadn't said anything before. Now that he suddenly brought up these things, it didn't seem like he was simply complaining to his parents. Instead, it seemed more like he was trying to divert his attention. Could it be that...

Before he could think about it, they arrived at the center of the formation. The front was shrouded in thick blood mist. Qi Yue immediately pulled him in.

The moment he stepped in, Qi Yue disappeared from Qi An's sight, and he was the only one left by his side. Instead of being nervous or worried, he felt relieved. It was good that they were separated, and he didn't need to be questioned about the soul refining formation.

There was a rustling sound and the stench of rotting corpses coming from the front. Listening carefully, one could hear hurried footsteps and increasingly heavy breathing, as if someone was being chased by many rotting corpses.

Qi Yue pondered the matter and walked in that direction. Not long after, he saw a disheveled yet familiar figure with bruises and scrapes all over his body stumbling towards him. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. When he saw Qi Yue, he immediately shouted in panic, "Brother! Run! There are zombies!"

Qi Yue was shocked, "Shuangshuang! Why are you here?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's go!" Gu Yunshuang endured the pain on his hand from the fall, quickly got up, and wanted to pull Qi Yue to run faster.

Suddenly, several black shadows rushed behind Gu Yunshuang at a speed so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.

"ah!"

"Shuangshuang!" Qi Yue had no time to hide his identity. He released a black mist that quickly swallowed up all the corpses that were attacking him. At the same time, he instantly appeared in front of Gu Yunshuang and supported his shoulders.

"Shuangshuang, how are you?" Qi Yue looked down and saw a big hole in his back near his heart. Blood flowed out and immediately turned black and green.

Qi Yue's pupils shrank and his mind was in great confusion.

Gu Yunshuang spat out a mouthful of black blood, but smiled and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. I just realized now that there are ghosts in this world. Brother, you are actually no longer human, right?"

“…”

"That's good too. When I die, I'll become a ghost like you, brother. I'm quite happy thinking about it."

Qi Yue was in a very complicated mood. He didn't want Gu Yunshuang to lose his life and become a ghost like him. He just wanted them to be well and live happily.

Gu Yunshuang raised her head, looking at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with unwavering love. "Brother... I've always wanted to say... I really... love you very much. Can you... give me a kiss... before I die?"

Qi Yue was also very sad. He slowly lowered his head, as if to respond to him, and then...

Boom! Dazzling lightning suddenly exploded in Qi Yue's hand, directly blasting Gu Yunshuang into a bloody mist.

The blood mist surged and condensed, forming a ball of bright red blood, which then solidified into a human form, still bearing Gu Yunshuang's face. It looked at Qi Yue with cold and resentful eyes, and asked quietly, "I thought I acted very convincingly. I wonder when I revealed a flaw for you to notice?"

Qi Yue sneered: "The way you look at me is so fucking disgusting."

Xue Sha didn't understand. Wasn't he just imitating the way Gu Yunshuang looked at Qi Yue? Why didn't you find Gu Yunshuang disgusting?

Qi Yue: "And what were your last words? Shuangshuang and I have been good brothers since childhood. Don't use your dirty thoughts to taint our pure brotherhood!"

Blood Evil: ????? ?????
