Yuan Li was originally a wisp of ghost fire, drifting daily in the Underworld's Forgetfulness River. All spirits and monsters desired to devour her, calling her the "Underworld's Tang M...
A sound of pleasure
He Qi's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, and he frowned in displeasure, staring at him fiercely. He raised his hand, and icy spirits flew out in an instant. Twelve icy spirits surrounded Su Yang, the sword tips only two fingers away from his body.
Although Su Yang was somewhat afraid of the seemingly unstable and violent young man in front of him, and knew that he was a ruthless character, he swallowed hard and said bravely, "Ice Soul belongs to the heroic spirit who protected Kasi during her lifetime. She has protected Kasi for thousands of years and is a loyal and righteous person. I swear to never let anyone take away Ice Soul and chill the heroic spirit's heart."
"My sister's things are mine. I can take them away if I want to, and you, an outsider, are not allowed to interfere."
"How do you prove you are her brother?"
He Qiyu was silent and didn't waste any more words. The tips of the twelve Bingpo swords began to move slowly towards his body and soon touched Su Yang's body.
Only when Su Yang was covered in blood did Cha Suxun speak up to stop him, saying, "Alright, He Qi. He's always been Ah Li's person, and he's willing to protect her with his life, which is quite rare."
Upon hearing this, Heqi obediently took back Bingpo.
Ting Cha Suxun called Li Wan and A Li, Yuan Li became jealous and kept silent.
Cha Suxun gently mediated, "Su Yang, why don't you ask the Heroic Spirit yourself if we can take this Ice Soul with us. If she says no, then we will return it immediately."
Hearing this, Heqi said through telepathy, "No! Even if he asks, what if he lies to us? Besides, that bastard is here too. Don't let him pollute my sister's eyes!"
"The heroic spirit is already dead, how can I ask?"
"Of course you know how to ask." Cha Suxun said in a serious tone with a solemn expression.
Su Yang felt it was difficult to answer; he didn't know how to ask. Although he had guarded Kasi for thousands of years, he had never seen a heroic spirit, let alone communicated with one.
He could only bite the bullet and try possible ways to contact the Heroic Spirit and establish resonance with this land. Surprisingly, he received a response from the Heroic Spirit on his first try.
The heroic spirit not only told him that he could let these people take Bingpo away, but also told him to go back to Yuemang Mountain and be the mountain god with peace of mind. Protecting the lives of people is always more meaningful than guarding dead things, and Kasi has her protection.
Su Yang bowed and apologized, "I apologize for any offense I caused earlier."
Seeing this, a hint of joyful surprise flashed in Heng Jin's eyes. Looking at this piece of yellow sand, Heng Jin was about to cast a spell.
Behind him, Xiang Yao sent a telepathic message to Heng Jin, saying, "Emperor, if Su Yang can do it, so can you. Since you want to, why not do it?"
Heng Jin tilted her head to meet Xiang Yao's gaze, then shook her head slightly. He gazed at everything here with longing and attachment, trying to find any trace of her presence.
Cha Suxun said to Su Yang, "That's fine. Any other questions? If not, we'll set off for Yuemang Mountain immediately."
Su Yang replied: "No."
"Then let's go. You lead the way."
Xiang Yao saw that Emperor Hengjin did not follow them and quickly sent a telepathic message: "Emperor, if you hesitate any longer, you will miss this opportunity."
"No, Xiang Yao, how can I have the face to explain to her? I'm afraid it will only pollute her ears and make her even more unhappy."
After saying that, Heng Jin turned around and left Kasi with Cha Suxun and the others.
After returning to the ancestral hall of Huamian Village, Cha Suxun looked at the stone statue behind him and remembered the tasks indicated by the mirror tree leaves: 1. Kill the demon mountain god of Huamian Village, 2. Get the treasure hidden deep in Huamian Village.
He asked Su Yang, "Do you know what the treasure is that is hidden deep in Huamian Village?"
"Treasure? Huamian Village is so poor, and has reached the point of cannibalism. How could there be any treasure left? What's going on?"
"What about Kashi?"
"As an ancient nation, Kashi does have many treasures, but like many ancient royal families, most of these treasures are gold, silver, and silk."
Cha Suxun thought about it carefully. Since this task could be ranked as the 79th in Mirror Tree, it was absolutely impossible that it was just for Kasi's gold and silver.
He used the white clam shell to inquire about the purpose of the third leaf. After a rough understanding, he learned that the third leaf did not have a fixed use, but most of the time it would provide extremely important task points or reminders.
He took out the third leaf given by the Mirror Tree and followed the instructions of the White Clam Shell. The third leaf instantly withered and turned into ashes. The ashes were carried by the wind and condensed into the shape of a sword in mid-air.
Su Yang said, "Ka Si is not good at using short weapons like swords, so he wouldn't have bothered to forge one. Since that tree wants you to find something, it can't be an ordinary item. I personally suspect it wants the Ice Soul."
"Heqi, take out Bingpo."
He Qi refused very reluctantly, "Brother-in-law, are you confused? This is my sister's thing, are you going to give it to those evil spirits? I don't agree! Even if that broken tree wants Bingpo, I won't give it to you."
Cha Suxun sent a few words to Heqi through telepathic communication, and Heqi changed his attitude and handed over Bingpo without hesitation.
After the first leaf with the task content written on it was placed on Bingpo, it immediately emitted a faint green light, indicating that this was indeed the item required for the task.
A surge of rage shot through Heqi's heart, and he cursed, "What a jerk! How dare it ask for it! Once you've finished using that rotten tree, I'll come back and burn it! What a wishful thinking thing! How dare it covet my sister's things?"
"What you want to burn is not the Mirror Tree, but the power behind the Mirror Tree. Even you and I don't know that Bingpo is hidden in Kasi, but they know it. Don't you think there is something strange about this?" Cha Suxun said.
"Brother-in-law is right. My reason was clouded by anger. You can't get a tiger cub without learning from its source. Complete your mission first. When you cross over, there will undoubtedly be monsters fighting for you. To avoid exposing your identities and causing unnecessary trouble, we will take my sister down the mountain first. Once you're free, rejoin us immediately. Be extremely careful."
"Okay, let's meet up at the foot of the mountain."
After Cha Suxun finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Jingshu. Before he had walked five meters, he was stopped by A'li.
Yuanli said with worry in her eyes, "My husband, this journey is dangerous. You must come to see me unharmed."
"Okay, see you at the foot of the mountain."
"Uh-huh."
Yuanli reluctantly let go of his hand, but now Cha Suxun was just a mortal body and not a cultivator, so she was really worried that the monsters would hurt him.
As they left with Heqi and his group, Yuanli was carefully planning how to escape and go help Cha Suxun. Emperor Hengjin's eyes seemed to be fixed on her, fixed on her intently.
As they neared the foot of the mountain, they were already safe. Yuanli's heart was pounding with worry. To escape them briefly, she had to pretend she had a stomachache and needed to relieve herself, slipping into the shelter of the trees. Heqi would naturally lecture Emperor Hengjin about the inappropriateness of physical contact and the need to avoid inappropriate glances, thus keeping him at a distance.
Taking this opportunity, Yuanli immediately used her magic to mobilize the power of the underground Huangquan Clan and headed up the mountain. When she saw Cha Suxun, he was trapped in a group of fighting monsters, his hands stained with blood.
Seeing this, Yuanli was so angry that she mobilized a large number of Huangquan tribe's forces to strike back, causing all the monsters except Cha Suxun to be knocked far away and spit out blood.
Yuanli herself was not in any better condition. The backlash of using magic in the mortal world without permission soon came upon her. Her bones felt like they were being gnawed by countless ants. The pain was so severe that she was almost fainting and sweating profusely.
Even if it costs her own life, she would save his life and keep this hard-earned marriage.
Cha Suxun ignored the surging emotions in his heart, quickly handed Bingpo back to Jingshu to complete the task, and went towards Yuanli.
Ignoring the pain from the backlash, she continued to mobilize the power of the underworld to teleport Cha Suxun down the mountain. The moment they landed, Yuanli could no longer hold on and fainted from the pain.
"Sister! What happened to her?"
Emperor Hengjin had an extremely ugly look on his face. He placed his token on her and used the Tianchi Cold Jade to relieve her pain.
Heqi was so anxious that he wanted to cast a spell to relieve her pain, but was stopped by Tianshu.
Tianshu's spiritual voice transmitted, "It's useless. This is a punishment from heaven. Even Emperor Hengjin is powerless. Fortunately, it is the lightest punishment from heaven. All immortals and gods who have descended to the mortal world to experience tribulation, no matter the reason, are forbidden to use immortal arts in the mortal world without permission. Otherwise, there will be backlash at the least, and even severe heavenly punishment, where the immortal arts used will be multiplied and then backfired on the caster."
He Qihui asked, "What should we do? Can we just watch her suffer?"
"There's no other way except using the Tianchi Cold Jade to alleviate the problem. She's well aware of the consequences; this is her own choice. You reap what you sow, even the gods are no exception."
He Qi was annoyed and wanted to say something several times, but he stopped himself. Finally, after punching his thigh hard to vent his frustration, he asked, "What happened? Why didn't we sense too much immortal energy, but she was injured so badly?"
Cha Suxun said, "At the time, I was fighting with the monsters. I don't know why Ah Li suddenly turned back and mobilized the power of the Huangquan Clan to defeat all the monsters and take me away."
Heng Jin joined the others in their telepathic communication and said, "You're lying! Aren't you the only outsider who can mobilize the power of the Huangquan Clan? She needs a little bit of your Netherworld power as a guide. Even if she had enough immortal power and the right method, she wouldn't be able to mobilize it. What exactly happened?"
"Are you unable to face the facts, or do you truly not understand why she was able to mobilize my netherworld power?"
As he said this, Cha Suxun held A'li who was lying in his arms, looked up at Heng Jin who was standing in front of him, and showed off his joy with the attitude of a winner.
The three people standing by had no idea why, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions and rashly intervene in their conversation.
"You're so selfish. When you hid this from her, weren't you afraid of the consequences if she found out what you did one day?"
"I'm not like you, who is accustomed to using deceitful and deceptive tactics."
He Qi said anxiously, "I don't doubt that you will hurt her, but I am really worried. What exactly did you do to my sister? No matter what it is, I must know, so that I can feel at ease."
"I took her to the bottom of Wangxiang Pond in the sea of red spider lilies, and under the witness of the Nether Stone, I placed my mark on her soul."
