Chapter 94
Huan Mang's expression changed again and again, "Dead? How did he die?!"
Ji Tang: "Killed by Nightmare Lord."
Huan Mang came up to Ji Tang with a fierce look on his face, grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up, "You'd better tell the truth!"
After hearing the word "Yanzun", Su Jinzhou also began to lose his patience.
Two huge mountains pressed down in front of Jitang.
Ji Tang lifted his feet off the ground, holding Huan Mang's hand, and spoke with some difficulty, "I don't need to lie to you... But the Young Clan Leader and the Immortal Venerable have such high cultivation levels, why can't they remove that remnant soul?"
Huan Mang threw Ji Tang down, and Ji Tang took several steps back.
"That remnant soul has something attached to it. It's hiding inside my mother's body with the remnant soul. It's slippery than a loach and hard to catch." Huan Mang said anxiously, his eyes red. "Besides, my mother can no longer withstand any torture!"
Jitang immediately asked, "What is that?"
Huan Mang: "A magic weapon."
Ji Tang was about to ask more when he heard Su Jinzhou say, "This magic weapon has a very important origin. I have investigated it before and found a trace of aura on it. This aura is impossible to find in the entire cultivation world."
Huan Mang said in a deep voice: "It is immortal energy."
Ji Tang was shocked.
"Fairy spirit?!"
She did not doubt Su Jinzhou's judgment, because both she and Su Jinzhou had survived the thunder tribulation of ascension. Although they did not succeed in surviving the tribulation, they were fortunate enough to see the Welcoming Immortal Bridge.
The Yingxian Bridge is filled with immortal energy. This huge energy, different from the world of cultivation, is holy and warm. It is an aura that Ji Tang will never forget once he comes into contact with it from afar, and Su Jinzhou is definitely the same.
Ji Tang was in a state of confusion.
A magical weapon with fairy spirit actually appeared in the world of cultivation and was related to the black-clothed believers.
This was all complicated and difficult to understand, and the questions were clogging her chest, making her feel suffocated.
Su Jinzhou didn't want to let her go easily, "Why did Nightmare Lord want to kill Qiu Runfang?"
Ji Tang: "That is the Nightmare Lord. I, a mere little Nightmare, have no right to ask about it. Please forgive me, Immortal Lord."
Su Jinzhou persisted, "Where did she kill Qiu Runfang? How do you know it was her?"
This is to get to the bottom of it. Ji Tang: "Yan Zun killed the counselor of the previous clan leader. I am not the only one in the Yan clan who knows about such a big thing. I heard it from the clan members."
Ji Tang stopped him from asking any more questions and said, "Young Clan Leader, Immortal Venerable, if this is true, then Nightmare Venerable was the last person to see Qiu Runfang. Could she have taken something from Qiu Runfang? Perhaps she can extract the remnant soul from the dragon body?"
She had another remnant of Qiu Runfang's soul, which was placed under the Nine Nether Abyss. She could try to use that remnant soul to suck out the remnant soul in her stepmother's body.
This statement did not stand up to scrutiny, but her stepmother was in critical condition and she could not afford to delay.
We can only find a way to get them to the Nine Nether Abyss to retrieve the remaining souls, and we can take the rest of the things one step at a time.
Upon hearing this, Huan Mang was about to attack again, but Ji Tang took a step back first.
Even though he was her sworn brother, she couldn't stand his endless harassment.
Huan Mang didn't care that his hand was empty, and immediately decided: "Let's go to the Nine Nether Abyss!"
Su Jinzhou then nodded to Ji Tang: "Go tell Gu Yan and his sister."
Jitang should leave.
After she left, Huan Mang continued, "She does have a lot of secrets."
Su Jinzhou did not answer.
Huanmang was puzzled, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Jinzhou: "She always emphasizes that she is just a little nightmare, but every time she does, she can link it to Jitang."
She could produce the Nightmare Lord's magic weapon and said it was obtained by eating dreams, but this was not enough to make him suspicious.
But no matter how much she pretended, he could see her sensitivity to the Nightmare Lord's magic weapon. She could clearly recognize the Nightmare Lord's aura at a glance, but she always pretended to observe for a long time, stalling for time, like a novice rookie.
She fought with Gu Sangniao cleanly and efficiently. Facing the late Nascent Soul cultivator, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she was extremely calm. She could easily cast intermediate spells, and her aura was much higher than Gu Sangniao's.
Not only that, the inner demon has never appeared openly in the world of cultivation. The cultivators with demons in their hearts have been controlled as soon as they show signs of it. There will never be another cultivator like him who can act freely.
So how could a mere little girl like her tell in such a short time whether he was suffering from an inner demon or was injured?
In addition, she snuggled up to the Dragon Lord's bed last night, and today she tested them by hinting at them to go to the Nine Nether Abyss. This was not just a small nightmare. In his opinion, she was trying to cover up her mistake.
After Huanmang finished listening to his analysis, his expression became more solemn than ever.
"You are suspicious..."
The two looked at each other.
Huan Mang: "She is one of the black believers!"
Su Jinzhou: "..."
Su Jinzhou: "Huan Mang, where's your brain?"
Huan Mang was dissatisfied, "What do you mean?! All these things prove that she is not a passerby who happened to appear. She must have a huge secret! She is leading us into the game step by step!"
Su Jinzhou: "Then why did she hold the Dragon Lord's hand last night and stay by her bedside until almost dawn?"
Huanmang narrowed his eyes: "...you mean?"
Su Jinzhou said word by word, "She might be Jitang."
Silence spread.
After a long time.
"Ha!" Huanmang's eyes widened, "I think you're crazy!"
He paced back and forth in front of Su Jinzhou. "My sister died in the Nine Nether Abyss four hundred years ago. Everyone knows it! How many times have you looked for her over the years? How many evil cultivators have you killed there who wanted to use her soul to refine puppets? And how many cultivators have you killed who coveted her magic weapons?"
"You, a dignified Immortal Venerable, have become a murderous demon. You harbored inner demons, stained yourself with human blood, and turned the entire Nine Nether Abyss upside down! Do you still harbor illusions?"
When he said this, he slumped down in his chair in frustration and dejection, holding on to the armrests to prevent himself from sliding to the ground.
He said hoarsely, "Su Jinzhou, please calm down. Don't always put your hopes in front of me and then let me down."
Su Jinzhou clenched his teeth and tightened his jaw.
"Maybe it's a wisp of Jitang's soul—"
"Su Jin Zhou!"
There was another long silence.
Huanmang looked up and saw Su Jinzhou, seemingly nailed to the ground, motionless. The dark robes on his body stung Huanmang's eyes, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he leaned on the armrest of the chair to stand up.
Su Jinzhou looked sideways.
Huan Mang patted Su Jinzhou's shoulder heavily, "Brother, stop torturing yourself. Ji Tang would be sad if he saw you."
With just one sentence, Su Jinzhou's eyes suddenly turned red.
*
Jiumingyuan is located in Chenwuzhou, bordering the Dongxi Kingdom. The mountains are steep and dangerous, forming a unique natural barrier that clearly separates Jiumingyuan from other lands.
Ordinary people with a lifespan of a hundred years are deterred from entering, and even monks with high cultivation levels dare not set foot there.
But this was when Nightmare Lord was still alive.
Now that Nightmare Lord is dead, the thunder tribulation of ascension has shattered the mountain protection formation, Qiao Yao Five Elements Formation, into powder. This natural barrier can stop ordinary people, but it can no longer stop those who practice cultivation.
However, the Nightmare Lord's treasures had long been snatched and divided among numerous cultivators, with some burned and some trampled upon. The Nine Nether Abyss, once the site of countless cultivators' fear and the mere sight of it, had become a wasteland, never to be trodden upon again.
Su Jinzhou flew ahead with his sword, leading his men into the forest at the foot of Jiumingyuan Mountain.
Gu Sangniao looked around. The trees in the forest were dense and lush, blocking out all the bright sunlight. Even the wind brought by the sword was a little cooler, making her shiver uncontrollably and use her spiritual power to protect herself.
She asked, "Aren't we going to the Nine Nether Abyss?"
Huan Mang glanced at her and said, "This is the way to the Nine Nether Abyss."
Ji Tang said nothing along the way, knowing that this direction led to the teleportation array deep in the forest.
But why would Su Jinzhou know that?
As she was thinking, she noticed a gaze looking at her. She looked up and met Huanmang's eyes.
Huan Mang did not feel guilty about being caught. Because of Su Jinzhou's previous words, he said he didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it in his heart, but he still couldn't help but focus his attention on Ji Tang.
Ji Tang: "Young Clan Leader, is there something wrong?"
Huan Mang rarely looked at her seriously. He read her carefully from beginning to end and shook his head: This appearance is not what his sister would choose. It’s not about how she looks, but based on his understanding of Ji Tang, his sister has always been narcissistic and conceited. She will definitely find a stunningly beautiful face to live with and show off in public.
Jitang: “?”
Huan Mang: "Nothing."
Ji Tang was puzzled.
Su Jinzhou quickly found the location of the teleportation array, and this familiarity made Ji Tang even more suspicious.
There is an immortal, a young clan leader, and two real people here, so naturally it is Ji Tang, the little nightmare, who is going to activate the magic circle.
She was used to it. Just as she was about to work hard to get the spirit stones to activate the magic circle, she saw Su Jinzhou raised his hand to stop her. Then, under the gaze of several people, he personally took out the spirit stones and placed them one by one in the formation to activate the magic circle.
Ji Tang was even more confused. She didn't know why the Immortal Venerable suddenly started to do it himself. Just as she was thinking about it, she was given a roll of the eyes and a snort by Gu Sangniao.
She was too lazy to pay attention to her. The magic circle was activated and sent them to the top of the Nine Nether Abyss in the blink of an eye.
Huan Mang looked at the desolate Jiu Ming Abyss and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He said angrily: "You are such a noble and upright family!"
Gu Sangniao couldn't stand what she heard and retorted, "What are you talking about, Young Clan Leader? After the Nightmare Lord died, was it the Nightmare Clan that didn't come to fight for the magic weapon, or was it the Demon Clan and the Monster Clan that didn't come?"
Huan Mang's face darkened. "Gu Yan, I think she is your sister, so I won't make a fuss about it this time."
Before Gu Yan could say anything, Gu Sangniao blurted out, "What's wrong with what I said? Why did the Young Clan Leader have to stare at the cultivators and say that?"
With a loud bang, Gu Sangniao flew out like a kite with a broken string. A huge crack formed on the mountain where she fell, showing the strength of Huan Mang's attack.
Gu Yan's face changed drastically and he ran towards Gu Sangniao without saying a word.
But before he could move, he was held captive by Huan Mang and could not move at all.
Huan Mang's expression turned cold and imposing. The pressure of the Dragon Clan should not be underestimated. He said, "If you were not my sister's fellow disciple, you would have been thrown into the Nine Nether Abyss with that woman to feed the Frost Demon Fish."
"Gu Yan, keep that woman's mouth shut. This is the last time."
Gu Yan was finally able to move. With a pale face, he bowed deeply to Su Jinzhou and Huan Mang, and then ran towards Gu Sangniao.
Huan Mang subdued his arrogance and walked over to Su Jinzhou. "Did I do what you've always wanted to do?"
Su Jinzhou replied calmly: "I always convince people with reason."
Huan Mang was so angry that he laughed: "You are just talking nonsense, saying that you are doing it for Gu Yan's sake, but in the end it is all because of Ji Tang. Su Jinzhou, your hands have been dirty for a long time."
Su Jinzhou's eyes shifted slightly.
Huan Mang followed his gaze and looked at Xiao Yan who was hiding far away.
The two of them didn't say a word, but they were thinking the same thing.
Huan Mang: "Since she led us here, she must be able to lead us to find something."
Su Jinzhou nodded.
Huan Mang couldn't stand his perfunctory attitude, so he warned him in a more serious tone, "Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Don't hold your hopes too high. Even if your inner demons will crush you to pieces sooner or later... wait until later."
Su Jinzhou glared at him coldly, "The first half of that sentence is for you, right?"
Huanmang smiled arrogantly, but there was a hint of guilt in his smile.
He snorted coldly, the voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Same here."
