Suburban City God Temple

The temple was full of spider webs, and even the incense table was covered with dust. The fruits and vegetables on the table had long since rotted and were even infested with maggots. The temple was filled with a musty smell, and the statue of the City God was tilted to one side. Even Ming Ye couldn't help but frown.

Ming Ye chanted some incantations, and the dilapidated City God Temple suddenly looked brand new. All the dust disappeared, and even the rats and spiders fled away.

On the neatly arranged incense table, fruits and vegetables regained their vitality. Mingye held Jiuxi tighter in his arms and shouted at the City God statue, "Come out to me!"

The City God statue suddenly flashed with yellow light, and a white-bearded old man emerged from the ground. The old man rubbed his sleepy eyelids and said lazily, "Who is it..."

His face looked just like a drunk who hadn't woken up yet. Well, the people in this village had long stopped believing in the City God, and the City God here was also happy to be relaxed, spending his time sleeping every day.

Except for a few villagers who came to the City God Temple to shelter from the rain, this City God Temple was basically deserted.

But when the City God saw Jiuxi unconscious in Mingye's arms, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to your Highness?"

Mingye placed Jiuxi on the couch, his expression becoming even more stern. He said bluntly, "Look at her now. Why is she so weak?"

He was so weak that his spiritual energy seemed to be dissipating. Obviously, the Fire Qilin's poison had been cured...

The City God hurriedly threw away the dust that enhanced his character, and placed one hand on Jiuxi's pulse. His expression became increasingly heavy, and he sighed softly, saying, "Although the poison has been resolved, it has damaged your Highness's foundation. It is normal that you cannot gather spiritual power."

Ming Ye suppressed the fear in his eyes and said calmly, "Will the spiritual power continue to dissipate?"

The City God nodded, but then shook his head, "Not only that, if your Highness's protective spiritual power disappears, even his soul will be lost.

May I ask, sir, who could be so cruel as to poison someone with such a strong poison?"

Mingye's hand gently brushed across the bruises on her face, his eyes filled with self-blame, and he responded, "You don't need to know who it is, just tell me who can save her."

The City God stroked his white beard and said decisively, "Perhaps Judge Cui will have a solution."

There was a look of sadness in Ming Ye's eyes. If he went to the underworld, three days would definitely not be enough for the round trip. What would Gong Ci do without the mermaid pearl?

He finally understood why Jin Li had held him back at that time, it was to put him in a dilemma.

Ming Ye raised his eyes, looked at the City God seriously, and asked, "How long does it take to get to the underworld from here?"

Even though the Mermaid Pearl was right in front of him, he still wanted to save her life. After all, seeing her lying in a pool of blood with her face covered in blood, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and was in extreme pain.

Thinking of this, Jing Zhi's smiling face appeared in front of him again. He turned his eyes away from Jiu Xi's face, but found that he couldn't do it at all...

Ming Ye calmed down and said calmly, "Is there any shortcut?"

"So you are worried about the time issue. Your Highness's Seal of Eternal Life can lead directly from the City God Temple to the underworld. It will take only the time of an incense stick to reach the underworld!" The City God patted his chest and guaranteed. After all, he, a small City God, still relied on the underworld for his livelihood.

If Jiuxi died, I'm afraid his life would not be easy.

After being together for so long, Ming Ye naturally knew where she kept the Seal of Eternal Life. It was an inconspicuous jade pendant around her waist, but in fact, it had a very large space inside. He took off the jade pendant very neatly, but when he saw the pattern on the jade pendant, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Curl cloud pattern.
