Chapter 143: For Wen Zhi and Finding Medicine Wuming's Betrayal

The nights in Jiuyuan are extremely long. Perhaps it is because there is not much light in the first place. Whenever the moon is reflected on the lake, the surroundings are shrouded in darkness, so dark that you cannot see your hand in front of you.

It was freezing cold, and even a ghost could feel the chill that struck the soul.

Xie Tingyu's house is built by the lake. A breeze blows over the lake, causing slight ripples on the surface.

Wen Zhiyu moved his fingers, mobilizing the little fire-attribute spiritual power that had recovered in his body, and a warm current circulated throughout the room.

But Xie Tingyu's body was still cold.

No matter how many times he tried, her body would not be warmed up, because she was not a human being at the moment.

Xie Tingyu did not talk to him about the reason why she went to the world of cultivation, and Wen Zhiyu did not intend to ask, because he did not care about her identity.

The ghost king has no regrets, and the ghost spirit's heart will not give up.

Xie Tingyu was awakened by the heat. She felt as if her body was being roasted in fire, as if her soul had been possessed by Xie Chuyang.

She suddenly woke up, felt her body being restrained, and struggled violently.

Wen Zhiyu looked down at her and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her whole body was cold and she actually rejected the warmth.

Thinking of this, regret emerged from his heart, Wen Zhiyu sighed, "Did I wake you up?"

Xie Tingyu first raised his eyes and glanced out the window. Only a little light came through the window, and it was not yet dawn.

"My body can't be warm. I'm a ghost." Xie Tingyu got up from the quilt and looked down at him. He paused for a moment, trying to add a hint of warmth to his voice. "So there's no need to make any more efforts."

She was defenseless and let him lie on her bed, which was already warm and happy enough for her, but he always couldn't help but go further.

Wen Zhi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sorry, I was afraid you would be cold."

"Monks are not afraid of extreme cold or heat, and neither are ghosts."

Wen Zhiyu sat on the bed with his legs bent and his back leaning against the wall. Xie Tingyu then realized that he had been lying in his arms all night, even resting his head on his arm with his face pressed against his chest.

Is this progress too fast?

Xie Tingyu's eyes darted around, looking everywhere except at Wen Zhiyu.

Seeing this, Wen Zhi and Ji Chi laughed twice, lowered their heads and carefully twisted the corners of the quilt, and then quickly pulled away their hands, looking as if they didn't want Xie Tingyu to misunderstand.

Xie Tingyuwanmu chuckled, "I'm going out for a while today, you stay home and wait for me."

The first thing he noticed was "at home", and the second thing he noticed was "going out". Wen Zhiyu's reaction was particularly strong when he heard the word "home".

He didn't even ask Xie Tingyu what he was doing outside. He just nodded and said, "Be careful when you go out. Don't get hurt. It doesn't matter if you come back late."

"I'll wait for you."

Xie Tingyu paused when she got out of bed.

She didn't turn around and responded, "Okay."

Tian Xing Chi Xiao was not around, so Xie Ting Yu walked out empty-handed. When the door was about to close, she slowly said, "If you are hungry and I haven't come back yet, just eat the things in my cabinet. Don't be hungry."

Wen Zhiyu heard her words and subconsciously looked up at the door, "Okay."

The moment the door closed, Xie Tingyu's eyebrows turned cold. He waved his hand to place a ban in front of the door, then flew up.

His figure blended into the darkness of Jiuyuan.

A little further away from the Yingyue Lake, a dazzling light suddenly appeared. Xie Tingyu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You set up a trap outside my house. Do you want to be my enemy? Have you forgotten that you are still under my control?"

A tall figure walked out from the darkness, filled with hostility, with a scar across the bridge of his nose.

"Your Majesty... Is your magic still effective? I am only testing its feasibility. I have no intention of becoming your enemy."

The familiar ambition emerged from his eyes, just like at the beginning.

Xie Tingyu clenched his fists, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, then turned into surprise in an instant.

Wuming had once been in her spiritual sea, so he naturally knew the situation of her spiritual sea.

"Who asked you to come?"

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I just came here because I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. I am not being ordered by anyone."

Wuming walked closer and closer, step by step, crossing the void, and he seemed to have broken through to the eighth level.

Last time, he was still struggling to enter the seventh level, but now he has directly jumped to a higher level. This is really abnormal.

Red threads surged out of the nameless forehead, squirming and twisting wildly, and finally suddenly shot towards Xie Tingyu at such a speed that a strong wind sounded.

Xie Tingyu stepped back unexpectedly, but his arm was still pierced by the red thread.

The thread struck directly into his soul, causing overwhelming pain.

Applause was heard from the dark mist. "It seems that the rumors are true. The so-called Retired Ghost King really suffered a serious injury in the world of cultivation, causing his realm to fall. He even has to rely on ghosts to enter the Nine Abysses."

"Using the king's energy to suppress the ghosts and make them work for you, this method can only be performed by the ghost king. I, your subordinates, can never even dream of it."

Xie Tingyu covered her injured arm and did not look up for a long time.

"So you are the Snake General from the Living World. How come you admire me so much and know so much about me?"

There are six ghost generals in each of the life and death realms. The first six of the twelve zodiac signs are in the life realm, and the last six are in the death realm.

This Snake was famous for his cruelty and ruthlessness. He was the ghost general with the worst reputation in the world. He had always been ambitious and good at scheming, but she had never expected that his scheme would harm her so soon.

"You are really too kind, Ghost King Tuiwu. How dare I have such thoughts?"

"I am tired of being a ghost general. Unfortunately, there are only four ghost kings in the ghost palace. Now, I can only ask you for the title of ghost king."

Even a fool would know what he was thinking.

It was nothing more than destroying her here in the Nine Abyss without anyone noticing, and taking her place at the same time.

Now that I have figured it all out, there is no need to pretend anymore.

Xie Tingyu let go of his hand and shook the sleeve he had just held.

The hand that should have been injured was moving freely, and it didn't look injured at all. Sishe's pupils shrank and she took a step back suddenly.

However, Xie Tingyu raised his hand and threw out a red silk thread, which wrapped around them, surrounding Sishe and Wuming layer by layer. They reacted and suddenly rushed out.

But his body was grabbed by the thread and pulled back.

The ninth level of cultivation spread throughout this world. The surrounding ghosts noticed it and tried to hide, but they could not escape.

They could only watch as Xie Tingyu used the red threads to wrap around their bodies. The sharp red threads pierced through their skin and sank into their rotten flesh.

The ghost general Si Snake's bones were pierced by the red thread. When Xie Tingyu raised his hand, the red thread tightened and broke his bones.

"It's good to have ambition, but if you set your sights on me, no matter who you are or what your original intention was, you deserve to be killed. What do you think?"

"I planted a red thread snake between your eyebrows to help you cultivate. Is this how you repay me?"

Wuming's face was gloomy and he said nothing, his eyes fixed on Xie Tingyu, just like when he was in the underground palace, he had clearly sensed the powerful ghost king aura in Xie Tingyu, but he was not afraid and instead wanted to devour her to strengthen himself, and there was desire in his eyes.

"I gave you a chance."

Wuming devoured Qiu Huan's soul in her spiritual sea. Of course, he did not devour it completely. However, even if that remaining soul was rescued, it would be without any consciousness and could only be made into a puppet. When he returned to the world of cultivation, he would give it to Xie Qingdai to see with her own eyes.

Xie Tingyu tightened his fingers and the red line shrank. The Snake Ghost General had reached the peak of the eighth level and thought he could last a few moves against Xie Tingyu and defeat Xie Tingyu with the help of Wuming. However, he never expected that Xie Tingyu went to the world of cultivation and his cultivation level increased rapidly.

Much stronger than when he first entered the ninth level a year ago.

At least he has reached the middle stage of the ninth level.

"Since I've done it, I won't regret it." Wuming suddenly spoke.

Unexpectedly, Xie Tingyu didn't even give him a look, "If you want to die, die quickly. You deserve to die."

"I didn't ask you to betray your master."

Xie Tingyu walked out while casting a spell to drag the two ghosts. The Snake Ghost General and Wuming were tied up with red silk threads and could not move. Wherever the three ghosts passed, the surrounding ghosts scattered like fish and birds.

Except for the extremely powerful ghosts, no ghost dared to go up and cause trouble at this time.

There is an exit connecting to the Demonic Abyss in the Nine Abysses, and Wen Zhiyu must have come in from there.

Although Wen Zhiyu never mentioned how he broke into the ghost house, Xie Tingyu could keenly sense the demonic energy in him. It was not just a simple contamination, he must have stayed in the devil's abyss for a long time.

As a result, the flesh and blood were corroded by the evil spirit.

When ghost energy and demonic energy enter the body together, it will cause his meridians to be blocked and the circulation of spiritual energy to stagnate.

There is also a kind of psychic grass in the Demonic Abyss. It grows in the place where the demonic energy is strongest. It can purify the demonic energy and communicate with spirits and identify souls.

That grass also has certain therapeutic properties.

There is nothing better than giving warmth and use.

I heard that there would be many monsters around and it would not be easy to get in. Thinking of this, Xie Tingyu turned around and glanced at Sishe and Wuming.

Her eyes were frighteningly calm, and it sent chills down Sishe's spine.

"If the ghost master knew, he would definitely not let you off easily."

"If I remember correctly, you should be Wu Bu's subordinate. He fed you too little dog food, so he let you out to bark and bite people? It seems that he is also wrong. After I deal with you, I will go to him to discuss how to feed a dog."

"Back off!"

"I know my name sounds nice, but it's not something you can shout about."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tingyu sealed Sishe's mouth, and Wuming kept his mouth tightly shut, his expression hard and cold.

The passages between the Demonic Abyss and the Ninth Abyss can be easily deduced.

Just keep walking in the direction where the ghost energy is flowing and you will always find it.

Wherever there is evil energy, there is always hostility; the Nine Abysses has a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

The combination of the two has a unique impact.

A foul stench hit his face, and a strong suction came from it. Xie Tingyu raised his hand, and the red line lifted up Sishe and Wuming's bodies at the same time. As Xie Tingyu's laughter rang out, the red line was thrown out.

The two of them flew out of control. Wuming took a last look at Xie Tingyu. The gloom in his eyes disappeared and his expression became complicated.

The snake struggled and shouted loudly, and the red string that bound its body became tighter and tighter. Even its ghost energy was suppressed and sealed by the red string and it could not use any of its ghost energy.

When his body was thrown into the Devil's Abyss on the other side, in the blink of an eye, his body was submerged by the tide of monsters that had been waiting at the entrance of the passage.

Even the breath was gradually disappearing, annihilated in the tide of monsters, and there was no trace left.

"Since ancient times, demons and ghosts have been one. This should be the mutual slaughter you mentioned, right?"

"But I don't think so."

Hearing Xie Tingyu's indifferent tone, the person in the shadows frowned and said nothing.
