"Not a flame? Interesting..." Mo Xie shook his head with a smile.
"ah!"
The Lord of Ghost Hands cried out in pain, a sticky liquid spreading across his ghost hand in an attempt to stop the advance of the blood fire. "You and I are of the same lineage as the Ghost Clan. How can we kill each other in front of lowly humans?"
Is this an attempt to play the emotional card?
Mo Xie looked at the Fire Demon Woman and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he found that she showed no change in expression.
The crimson flames continued to spread, and the Lord of Ghost Hands, a mighty ghost at the Emperor Realm, was utterly powerless to resist.
The blood and fire quickly spread to the mouth of the Ghost Spring.
"This plan was devised by the Lord of the First Layer of the Underworld. If you dare to disrupt it, you will surely be hunted down by the Lord of Ghosts!"
The Lord of Ghost Hands had some guts, as he directly severed both of his arms.
Snap!
The two ghostly hands landed on the ground, revealing their eerie green true forms, not much different from the two large ghosts that Mo Xie had previously slain.
The arms were consumed by blood and fire, and soon turned into two pieces of ashes.
"Phew~"
The Fire Demoness took a light breath, and the flame flew back to her scarlet lips.
She said indifferently, "The Ghost Lord of the first level is nothing to me!"
With a pout of her red lips, a wisp of blood-red flame flew out and swiftly flew towards the Netherworld Spring, disappearing into its mouth in the blink of an eye.
"I know, you're the one on the eighteenth floor... Ah!"
A shrill scream faintly came from the spring—this meant that the master of the Ghost Hand had escaped some distance, but had still been killed.
This was a dignified Emperor Realm expert... and he just died like that?
Mo Xie felt a sense of dread.
soon,
A ball of blood-red flame flew back.
If you look closely, you can see a small human figure encased within the flames.
The fire demon woman seemed to look at the fireball with some disdain.
But he shook his head and swallowed the flame into his mouth, even smacking his lips to savor it before closing his eyes and digesting it for a moment.
When she opened her eyes again, her brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly exhaled a breath of black gas. "Are all the ghostly sources on the first level this mixed?"
Rumors say that ghosts devour their own kind, and now it seems that it is indeed true!
Mo Xie couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Boy, if you weren't so weak, why would I, a mere Emperor, have summoned the Origin Fire?"
"How could I possibly eat such disgusting and despicable food?"
If the Lord of Ghost Hands heard this, he would probably think that even being considered food would be looked down upon.
Mo Xie gave a somewhat forced smile, unsure how to respond.
I was quite shocked.
A dignified Emperor Realm expert was being so disrespected.
What exactly is this fire demon woman's cultivation level?!
Before the Ghost Hand Master died, it seemed that he had guessed her identity?
It seems to be a powerful location on the eighteenth floor?
Unfortunately,
Mo Xie knew nothing about the Nine Netherworld.
After all, the legendary Nine Netherworld exists only for reincarnation; I've never heard of any ghost race there!
Fortunately, the Fire Demoness didn't expect him to answer. "Next time you summon me, remember to be stronger."
Come on!
I'm still summoning,
I, Mo Xie, would rather jump off the Demon Mountain than summon you again!
Summoning with one's lifeblood too often will damage one's vital energy, which is one aspect.
Most importantly,
He could clearly see that every time the fire demon woman looked at him, there was a hint of longing in her eyes!
Don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of longing!
You should know,
Ghosts don't just like to devour their own kind, they also like to devour other races... especially humans!
Am I sick?!
I summon you, you monstrous creature!
Just as Mo Xie was angrily lost in thought.
The Fire Demon Woman had already slowly walked to the side of the Netherworld Spring.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking. After a long silence, she let out a cold laugh, "Interesting..."
"You can only make one request each time you summon someone. You know the rules, right?"
She suddenly spoke to Mo Xie, but did not turn around.
Mo Xie snapped out of her daze and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I can destroy that thing myself. No need for you to help..."
You should just go back to where you came from!
He thought about it for a moment, but still didn't dare to say it.
The Fire Demon Woman sneered, "Heh, this Profound Spirit Spring may be poorly constructed, but it's not something you can destroy."
Is this thing called the Mysterious Spirit Spring?
After thinking about it, Mo Xie understood the meaning.
The land above is called Tianxuan, and the underground is called Jiuyou.
If you go from top to bottom, isn't that reaching the secluded? If you go from bottom to top, isn't that reaching the profound?
From what she said,
This kind of ghostly spring that connects to the Tianxuan Great World seems to be... quite common in their Nine Netherworld?
This is a chilling thought!
Mo Xie was startled, but remained outwardly calm. "Then I'll trouble the ghost... uh, the ghost fairy, to help me!"
"A ghost...fairy?"
The fire demon woman narrowed her eyes and said with a forced smile, "Human boy, I'm becoming more and more interested in you!"
Don't come any closer!
Mo Xie could only manage a dry laugh.
"Alright, I will grant you one more request! But you must promise me one thing."
"What is it?" Mo Xie asked warily.
"It's a very simple matter; you'll find out soon enough."
"I can only guarantee that it's within my power..."
The Fire Demon Woman ignored Mo Xie and gently patted the spring.
