At the stairs on the third floor, I saw a man in a Taoist robe fighting with Huo Yan. The man in the Taoist robe was holding an unsharpened blunt sword in his right hand, a bell in his left hand, and his left foot was tilted. He looked very familiar... When I took a closer look, damn, isn't that Man Yuanyi?
"Man Yuanyi, why are you here?" I called out subconsciously. However, Man Yuanyi completely ignored me. Sun Ya said, "This is the underworld. Man Yuanyi is in the yang world. He can't hear you, nor can he see you here."
It suddenly dawned on me that no matter why Man Yuanyi was here, the most important thing was to find Zhao Xi!
I was about to go up to her when, to my great surprise, Huo Yan suddenly said, "Stinky boy, we meet again..."
"Shit!" I was so scared that I rolled down from the third floor and almost hit my head. I leaned against the wall, looked up at Huo Yan in horror, and asked, "Didn't you go to the Yang Realm? How can you see me? And even talk to me?"
Huo Yan smiled grimly and said, "I'm waiting here to kill you. Can't you see?"
I swallowed hard, not daring to go up. Suddenly, Sun Ya said, "No! Look at her body; it's stiff. That's her spirit! In other words, her spirit is in the underworld, while her soul is in the yang world. With only her spirit, she can't move. Most importantly, if you destroy her spirit, her soul in the yang world will also disappear. What a great opportunity! I can avenge everyone!"
Before she finished speaking, Sun Ya suddenly rushed forward and slapped Huo Yan's soul with a fierce and terrifying aura.
"Wait! Don't go!" I always felt something was strange and was about to stop her, but it was too late. Sun Ya had already rushed to Huo Yan.
A strange arc appeared at the corner of Huo Yan's mouth. The next moment, she unexpectedly opened her bloody mouth, like a whale swallowing river water, and sucked in suddenly, directly sucking in Sun Ya's ghost who was unable to react.
I stumbled and fell to the ground. It was over. Now even Sun Ya had been eaten by Huo Yan. My right-hand man was gone. My heart ached. Seeing Huo Yan's sharp eyes cast at me after eating Sun Ya, my scalp tingled. I quickly jumped up and wanted to run downstairs.
Huo Yan appeared downstairs in a flash. I cursed inwardly and turned to run upstairs. But then I saw Man Yuanyi looking left and right, as if he had noticed Huo Yan had suddenly disappeared and was searching everywhere. After a while, Man Yuanyi hurriedly ran to the fourth floor.
I wondered, why did Man Yuanyi take this opportunity to escape downstairs instead of running upstairs? Could it be that... The more I thought about it, the more strange it became. I followed his footsteps and ran to the fourth floor.
Huo Yan followed me the whole time, as if I had become her delicacy, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill me. I rolled my eyes and hurried to the fourth floor. The fourth floor was not for staff accommodation, but a place to store accommodation tools, with a small warehouse inside.
I watched as Man Yuanyi walked straight to the small warehouse and rang the bell in his hand. A moment later, the warehouse door opened and Zhao Xi walked out. I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhao Xi was okay. At the same time, I also understood why Man Yuanyi appeared there. It turned out that he had come to save Zhao Xi.
Although I didn't know why Man Yuanyi knew something was going to happen to Zhao Xi, I didn't have time to think about it at the moment. Huo Yan was right behind me, staring at me with a greedy look on her face, holding her stomach, and refusing to attack me. I guess it was because Huo Yan had just eaten Sun Ya and her stomach was a little full, so she couldn't eat me at the moment.
This was the only way I could comfort myself. Watching Man Yuanyi take Zhao Xi away from the fourth floor and walk downstairs, my heart gradually relaxed. Then I smiled and gestured to Huo Yan, signaling her to come and catch me.
But Huo Yan wasn't stupid. She had already seen Man Yuanyi leading Zhao Xi downstairs, while I was still upstairs giving instructions when she said, "Trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west? Distracting me? I'm not that stupid. My target is Zhao Xi, and killing you is secondary!"
Perhaps considering that killing me would not be that easy, Huo Yan decisively went after Zhao Xi.
Of course I wouldn't let her succeed. I'd put in so much effort just to keep Zhao Xi safe. Seeing Huo Yan chasing after her, I slid down the stair railing without a word, shouting, "Don't even think about touching Zhao Xi while I'm here!"
As I spoke, I had already slid down the stair railing to the third floor, only three meters away from Huo Yan. Huo Yan suddenly turned around, her fangs and claws bared, startling me, and then turned back to continue chasing Zhao Xi. My palms were sweating, and I didn't hesitate to chase Huo Yan. Damn, our situation now is really like a mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole is behind. However, as the oriole, I have no ability to eat the mantis, while the mantis can swallow both cicada and oriole in one gulp.
We chased them from the fourth floor to the second. Perhaps because we were running too fast, Zhao Xi suddenly stumbled and nearly fell from the second floor. Fortunately, Man Yuanyi caught him. In that instant, Huo Yan had already caught up to them. I clearly saw Huo Yan's ghost flash slightly, and her originally dark green pupils suddenly turned dark black.
"Sun Ya said that if Huo Yan goes to the Yang world, she will leave her soul in the Yin world. So, the Huo Yan with black eyes now must be her soul!" Thinking of this, I rushed down quickly and kicked Huo Yan's soul with a sudden kick.
At the same time, Huo Yan in the Yang Realm was about to stretch out his claws towards Zhao Xi, but suddenly he felt force on his back. With a scream of "Ah", his whole body fell from the second floor and rolled to the first floor.
I was secretly happy. It turned out that the soul in the underworld and the spirit in the world of the living were connected. In this way, if Huo Yan wanted to do something in the world of the living, as long as I did something to her soul in the underworld, she would involuntarily do some strange things.
