Thinking of this, the remnant soul of the Ghost Emperor acted impulsively and immediately took out his treasured possessions accumulated over many years and handed them to his little disciple.
"Come, come, these are all gifts prepared for you by your master. They are all yours. From now on, you won't need to rely on your family or sect. With just these things, you can cultivate to ascension."
Lu Fuyue was stunned and before she could react, a jade bracelet of light green color was stuffed into her hand.
"Thank you, Master."
Just as Lu Fuyue was about to put it away, the Ghost Emperor suddenly leaned close to her and said with a grin, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"
Lu Fuyue paused, then bit her fingertip. A drop of golden-red blood oozed from her fair skin and fell onto the jade bracelet.
A flash of blue light appeared, and a contract appeared in her sea of consciousness. At the same time, information about the origin of this bracelet also surfaced.
The Azure Jade Bracelet is one of the ancient artifacts of the underworld. It transforms into a sword called the Azure Jade Sword. This sword is sharp and sharp, and it will draw blood as soon as it is drawn. With a single strike in the void, ten thousand ghosts will be born. It can control three thousand fierce ghosts!
Moreover, it contains a universe within it, with its own space. Although it is not as advanced as Lu Fuyue's space, it is still extremely rare.
Within the space, countless Netherworld currencies—Yin Stones—were piled up, along with various Netherworld treasures. However, what shocked Lu Fuyue the most was the cluster of ghostly blue divine fire at the very center of the space, and the string within the divine fire that emitted a red-golden light.
A terrifying pressure emanated from it, and the Weak Water Zither within Lu Fuyue's sea of consciousness suddenly became agitated. She felt a tightness in her chest, and her blood and qi surged uncontrollably.
It turns out that the reason Jiang Xun and the people from the underworld failed to refine the Netherworld Divine Fire was because the Netherworld Divine Fire they saw was fake.
No one expected that after the Ghost Emperor's fall, a wisp of his soul remained, and the real Fire String and the Netherworld Divine Fire were still in his hands.
The Ghost Emperor glanced at Lu Fuyue with a smug look and slowly said, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the gift your master gave you?"
Lu Fuyue opened her eyes, remained silent for a moment, then lowered her gaze, gathering her still unsettled thoughts. She looked at the short old man before her and bowed again with utmost respect, saying, "Thank you, Master."
The Ghost Emperor waved his hand, "No need to thank me. These things were originally obtained by chance by me. And you are my proper disciple. If I don't give them to you, who else would I give them to?"
Suddenly, his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice, "However, even though I've given you the items, they're useless if you can't make them recognize you as their master."
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes, "This disciple will certainly not let Master down."
In fact, she vaguely sensed that the reason why the Ghost Emperor accepted her as his disciple was not only because of her, but more so because of the phoenix bloodline within her.
It is unknown what connection exists between the Ghost Emperor and the Phoenix Clan.
However, at this moment, as the Ghost Emperor looked at the little girl before him, a sense of melancholy rose in his heart. Suddenly, a slender figure appeared before him. If that person were still here, this bracelet would surely be...
"Alright, now I will protect you. Begin to form a contract with these two things."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side,
A pretty young girl followed closely behind a handsome man in purple, but her bright almond-shaped eyes kept looking around curiously.
Just then, the girl's attention was immediately drawn to the street stalls selling trinkets. She excitedly grabbed the man's hand, "Wang..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone tapped him on the head. "Luo Xiaobai, you forgot again. You should call me 'brother.' You deserve to be punished!"
A slight pain came, and tears fell suddenly like beads from a broken string. A Luo felt wronged and pouted, turning her back to him, "You're being mean to me again."
Seeing this, Luo Fei's eyes flashed with panic. He stepped forward and pulled the girl into his arms, quickly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He softened his voice and said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so mean to you."
Alo looked up at him with teary eyes, sniffed softly, and asked, "Really?"
"Then I want you to apologize to me."
Luo Fei was taken aback, but when he saw the girl's tears about to fall again, he said helplessly, "Yes, yes, I apologize, I apologize to you."
"You'll stop crying now, won't you?"
"No, your apology lacks sincerity."
"Then what do you want?"
"Well, I'll have to think about it."
"Alright, alright, think whatever you want, but remember to call me brother, don't get it wrong again."
A Luo rolled her eyes, mimicking his tone, and subconsciously took the man's hand, "Okay, okay, brother, brother, good brother, is this alright now?"
Luo Fei's body stiffened, a surge of heat rising from that "brother."
"But what are we doing in Zhongdu City?"
Luo Fei snapped out of her reverie and awkwardly looked away. "I'm here to find someone."
"Who is it? Could it be... the sister in your painting?"
"Yes, it's her."
"It really is her! Does that mean I can hang out with her from now on?"
...
Deepest part of the nine levels of hell
The scorching heat swept through the entire Netherworld Cave, and the terrifying aura made the vengeful ghosts imprisoned in the depths of hell tremble and feel a chill run through their bodies.
This aura... is it Netherworld Divine Fire?
But isn't the Netherworld Divine Fire supposed to be unapproachable except by the Ghost Emperor? How come it suddenly caused such a commotion? Or is it that the Ghost Emperor didn't actually perish?
Inside the dark cave.
Lu Fuyue sat cross-legged on the stone bed, her whole body enveloped in countless dark blue flames. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her face was pale, and her skin turned hot red, but she did not appear to be greatly affected.
But at this moment, her sea of consciousness was rapidly collapsing one after another, and her dantian, meridians, and bones were undergoing tremendous changes.
In a daze, she heard the wailing of a hundred ghosts and the howling of a cold wind. She was surrounded by darkness. When she looked up, she saw a very pale moon in the sky.
The darkness on the ground faded, revealing a field of stark white bones. Crows perched on the bare branches, their gazes fixed on Lu Fuyue, occasionally cawing.
A cold wind blew, and paper money scattered in the air, slowly falling to the ground.
A ghostly blue flame appeared out of thin air on the skeleton. The skeleton's eye sockets lit up, and two clusters of flame emerged from them. Instantly, all the skeletons rose from the ground and staggered toward Lu Fuyue, laughing cacklingly.
Lu Fuyue's expression changed. She tried to summon the Weak Water Zither, but found herself frozen in place. A chill ran through her.
The next second, the skeletons quickly arrived in front of her. In no time, eerie blue flames erupted from the skeletons, like vengeful ghosts rushing towards her.
Lu Fuyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and the raging fire reflected in her eyes as it rushed towards her. However, she did not feel the pain of being burned by the fire. Instead, a cold aura traveled through her body and then spread throughout her entire body.
