It seems that Yue Jiu Nian guessed correctly, because after they learned that they could not enter the tomb passage, all the evil spirits and ferocious beasts started running towards the tomb passage, trying to prevent Yue Jiu Zai and Yue Jiu Nian from entering.
But how could the two who already knew their secret be easily stopped? Yue Jiu Nian, wielding two swords, launched a fierce attack on them, finally managing to squeeze to the other side of the tomb passage. Of course, she was injured in the process, as it was a reckless fighting style.
Seeing that she had eventually passed away, the evil spirits and ferocious beasts chose to give up on dealing with her and turned back to attack Yue Jiuzai.
When Yue Jiuzai saw that Yue Jiunian had passed the test, he said to her, "Oh my god, how did you get through so fast? Why didn't you wait for me?"
Yue Jiu Nian was injured earlier; her arms and shoulders were bruised and bleeding. However, she didn't seem to care at all. She simply bandaged herself up and then sat down on the ground, saying to Yue Jiu Zai, "I'll wait for you. How can I wait for you? Look at me, I'm in this state."
Before, when the two of them were together, they already found it a bit difficult to disperse the enemies. Now that Yue Jiuzai was all alone, it was even more difficult for her to face all the evil spirits and ferocious beasts. However, when she saw Yue Jiunian's appearance, she smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this great? If you're injured, you might as well 'die' sooner rather than later, so you don't have to think of ways to 'commit suicide' or anything like that. Isn't that great?"
Yue Jiu Nian had planned to resolve her own issues during this trip, as constantly dealing with the Jiang family under Jiang Nian's 'skin' was exhausting, so she intended to get things sorted out as soon as possible.
Yue Jiu Nian said, "That's true, you're right. But I died in the first trial. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for you to get in? I'm also worried that you won't be able to collect my body, and I'll have to collect my own."
Yue Jiunian felt that she couldn't die yet, so she stood up and said, "Forget it, in order for Jiang Nian to be able to return with a complete body, I think I can't die now."
While fighting the evil spirits and ferocious beasts, Yue Jiuzai chatted with Yue Jiunian, who agreed, saying, "That's right, then don't die yet, come and help me~ I haven't even gotten there yet~"
"I'm not going. If you can't beat them, why don't you use Netherfire? Stupid, what are you still hesitating about at a time like this?"
Although those evil spirits and ferocious beasts are very powerful and numerous, they are always imbued with yin energy and evil spirits. So, it would definitely be possible to deal with them using Netherfire. However, Yue Jiuzai has never used Netherfire, preferring to fight them to the death.
However, after hearing Yue Jiu Nian's words, she still unleashed a large amount of Netherfire at the evil spirits and ferocious beasts. Seeing that a group of strange things that were afraid of Netherfire had all hidden to the side and dared not get close to her, she sighed and said, "Oh dear, why bother? I originally just wanted to fight for fun, but you guys are too dedicated. I had to use my trump card."
Netherfire is specifically designed to subdue ghosts and evil spirits. So when those evil spirits and ferocious beasts discovered that Yue Jiuzai possessed Netherfire, which could subdue them, they were all terrified and dared not obstruct her any further, so they could only let her enter the tomb passage.
Holding a small handful of Netherfire, Yue Jiuzai walked naturally toward Yue Jiunian. When she reached Yue Jiunian's side, she whispered to her, "Hurry up!"
Yue Jiu Nian also knew that she probably wouldn't last much longer, so she immediately followed her into the tomb passage. Only when they were far away from the evil spirits and ferocious beasts did Yue Jiu Zai extinguish the Netherfire in her hand.
Seeing that there was no danger inside the tomb passage, Yue Jiuzai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew~ I'm glad I made it. It's just that I probably won't be able to summon Netherfire for a while."
Because the true form of the Netherfire resides within Yue Jiuling's body, it's not impossible for these divided souls to summon it, though the number they can summon is limited. Generally, they can only summon a small fireball. However, if they were to suddenly summon a large number like she just did, there would be a price to pay: they would be unable to summon it again for a period of time.
Yue Jiu Nian was also aware of the price. She comforted Yue Jiu Zai with a bit of helplessness, saying, "Oh dear, there's nothing we can do about it. Look at the situation just now, there were so many of them. If you hadn't summoned them, we probably would have all had to take our own corpses back with us. So, if we encounter a situation like this again, let's summon them."
Yue Jiuzai was also injured, and even more seriously than Yue Jiunian. Her leg was broken, and she walked with a limp. However, she did not change her expression or cry out in pain until she reached a safe area inside the tomb passage. Only then did she look down at her wound.
"Tsk~ That must hurt pretty much. Probably a broken bone. The human body is such a hassle~"
Yue Jiuzai frowned as he set his bones, all the while grumbling.
Yue Jiu Nian chimed in, "That's right. If this were our original forms, we wouldn't have been so easily injured. Sigh, it's fortunate that we were the ones who were injured. If it were Yue Jiu Xing and Yue Jiu Yue, they would have been crying their eyes out."
Both of them are quite tolerant, while Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue are very delicate. They can make a fuss for a long time over the smallest things. Even Yue Jiuling has a headache and can't figure out where their personalities come from. She is not that pretentious at all.
