Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Such a beautiful woman favors you, you...
Wei Xin was taken to Yan Xiu's room.
The room was eerie, with bones piled up under the bed, arranged in a circle, probably some kind of formation.
It is said that Yan Xiu had to absorb the negative energy from corpses every day before he could fall asleep.
This is the sinister nature of the ghost world.
The higher you go in your cultivation, the more corpses you need, but there are not enough corpses to supply them. If there are not enough, you can only kill people.
Although the Xuanji Sect's methods are brutal, they do not require dead bodies as sacrifices.
"Sit down." Yan Xiu said.
Wei Xin sat down at the table and Yan Xiu personally poured water for him.
"I don't want to drink this." Wei Xin looked around and found that he didn't see any disciples along the way. Even things like pouring water were done by Yan Xiu himself.
"What do you drink?"
"dew."
"No, I only have corpse fluid here, you can drink it or not!"
“I said I don’t drink anymore.”
Yan Xiu threw the cup away, his eyebrows knitted tightly: "I really hate you."
Wei Xin laughed and said, "Same here."
"What exactly does Yan Lin like about you?"
[I'm curious too.] Yun Du suddenly interrupted.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just look at my face, hey, it's really one of a kind." Wei Xin pointed at his face, "You kept her locked up in Guiluomen all day, facing a bunch of scary and ugly faces like you. Suddenly she saw my handsome face, how could she not like it?"
Yan Xiu: "Bah, shameless, so brazen!"
Yundu: [Yes, you are right, it is unparalleled in the world.]
"Who is the one who is shameless?" Wei Xin pointed at half of his cheek again, "I see that your bones are white with black. What's wrong? Have you been staying up late lately and hurting your bones?"
Yan Xiu's face was gloomy and he stared at him quietly.
Wei Xin said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play tricks."
【Something has happened here.】Yun Du said.
【What's going on? 】
[There are countless ghost soldiers inside.]
In addition to Yundu's voice, Wei Xin could vaguely hear some fighting inside.
"Witch! The most important thing right now is to deal with these evil soldiers. Why did you harm our lives? Were you sent by Wei Xin to deliberately mess up our affairs?!"
There were dozens of people inside, but only one was a woman, Nan Huang.
She held the long sword and swung it hard, causing the person beneath her to scream miserably, his intestines and stomach to open and blood to flow out.
Others were used to seeing bloody scenes and did not feel disgusted.
But Xu Shun and Wen Jingcheng, who were from famous and upright families, could not help but frown when they saw with their own eyes that she suddenly attacked the man behind her without even giving him a chance to say a word. She was so ruthless.
"Uncle Master, you see, this is the style of Xuanji Sect." Xu Shun stood beside Yun Du and couldn't help but say.
Yun Du: "That man took advantage of her unpreparedness and wanted to do something indecent to Nan Huang."
Xu Shun and Wen Jingcheng were slightly surprised and looked at Nan Huang again.
The corpse attracted the attention of the ghost soldiers, and they quickly attacked this side. Nan Huang drew out his sword, kicked the corpse over, jumped up, and jumped into the ghost soldiers alone, followed closely by Xique.
Seeing the ghost soldiers appear before their eyes, everyone took action to deal with it. Some speculators hid aside and watched the fight from the mountain.
Xu Shun's sword-holding hand was injured, his power declined, and he was beaten back by a group of ghost soldiers. In his peripheral vision, he saw Yun Du leisurely strolling among the ghost soldiers, dodging and moving, as if he was looking for something.
As he was distracted, the ghost soldiers scratched his chest several times, and it immediately turned black and purple.
Xu Shun raised his head and saw a gray-black hand about to fall in front of him. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the side and a sword scabbard flew over. The true energy flowed and repelled the evil soldiers in front of him.
"Thank you." He looked at Wen Jingcheng.
"You're welcome. But if you're too cautious or expect someone to rescue you, you won't be so lucky." Wen Jingcheng gritted his teeth and supported himself.
After all, Wen Jingcheng's cultivation was far inferior to his. He had only been a disciple in the Xiajing Sect for a few years, and his foundation was still shallow, but he was able to deal with the enemy calmly.
Xu Shun looked down at the scabbard, thinking that because of his injury, he subconsciously thought that he was at a disadvantage, which made him slow to attack and only think about defense. And because Yun Du was traveling with him, his first reaction would be to find Yun Du first.
Without the determination to move forward, how can there be a way forward?
Suddenly, there was a sound of corpses collapsing in the distance. He looked up and saw that Nan Huang, who had just disappeared, had killed hundreds of Yin soldiers in one move. On the pile of corpses, Nan Huang did not even have time to wipe the blood on his face. With a flickering light in his eyes, he flashed into the Yin soldiers' formation again with excitement.
He was startled and realized that he was not as brave as the people from Xuanji Sect. The true energy in his body surged, and the Guihong Sword rang. He immediately drew his sword forward and charged into the formation without hesitation.
*
"Do you want to know what's going on inside?" Yan Xiu suddenly asked.
"In no mood."
Yan Xiu, who was full of cruel words, was stunned: "Why don't you want to know?"
Because I already know it!
Wei Xin was once again glad that he brought Yundu with him, as he could monitor the situation inside in real time, which was extremely convenient.
Seeing Yan Xiu in trouble, he was delighted, but his face showed an unfathomable expression: "No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you to the end."
Yan Xiu sneered: "Including the lives of so many people?"
Wei Xin said lazily, "What do these people have to do with me?"
"Your two hall masters and your mistress are still in there."
"If you can't come out alive, you are unworthy to be my subordinate and... my mistress!" Wei Xin rolled his eyes, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue!"
"Is that my lover?" Yan Xiu thought it was the wording that made him unhappy.
A familiar laugh echoed in my consciousness.
【......】
Wei Xin said no more nonsense. He injected spiritual power into his palm and pushed out with one palm. Yan Xiu stood still while the wall behind him collapsed with a loud bang.
After a moment, the human skin mask fell lightly to the ground, revealing half of Yan Xiu's eerie white bones.
"This is a good face that I have finally found." Yan Xiu sighed and asked with a look of evil interest, "Hey, if I wear the face of your mistress, you won't be attracted to me, right?"
"You deserve it?" Wei Xian wanted to vomit when he saw his half-smile.
"In that case, I'd like to give it a try. I've never used such an exquisite face before. Where did you find this face? Why have I never seen it before?"
"You are the only one who is too embarrassed to see people. If you go out on the street, you will see that everyone is good-looking."
Yan Xiu sneered: "Whatever you say, you won't be able to see your lover today anyway."
Wei Xin said nothing.
"If I had known that you were a traitor, Yan Lin wouldn't have been so worried about you." Yan Xiu said hatefully.
"Yan Lin is not worried about me." Wei Xin raised his eyelids and said calmly, "You never know what she is thinking. You just keep her under surveillance and discipline, and prevent her from being exposed to the outside world. How can she not become sick with worry?"
Yan Xiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What is she thinking about?"
"Travel to famous mountains and rivers, and see all the handsome men in the world."
"......"
Yan Xiu actually thought that he had some brilliant ideas. Upon hearing this, he simply laughed out of anger: "Wei Xin, do you think you are funny?"
Before Wei Xin could say anything, he heard Yun Du say in his consciousness in a serious tone: [Yes.]
Wei Xin couldn't help laughing and lowered his head to suppress his laughter.
Seeing that he did not answer but laughed instead, as if mocking him, Yan Xiu became angry and embarrassed, and could no longer bear it, so he stretched out a ghost claw.
Wei Xin curled his lips.
In an instant the house was torn into pieces, and the spiritual light was like waves, one after another, and the two men were fighting fiercely.
Wei Xin couldn't help but feel surprised, because in every previous battle, as soon as the opponent showed signs of losing, he would shamelessly beg for mercy.
But this time, every move was fatal, and more importantly, his internal strength was extraordinary, like the force of an overwhelming sea, thick, abundant, and surging.
Wei Xin took his palm, flew into the air, and quickly glanced around. As expected, there were no disciples outside.
The entire Gui Luomen was empty.
He changed his mind and was knocked to the ground by a palm strike. He quickly threw out several talismans to block the opponent.
Seeing that he was about to run away, Yan Xiu followed him with a smile: "As expected, you failed to overcome the calamity, and your power has greatly decreased. You are no longer what you used to be."
"Who spread the rumor?" Wei Xin climbed over the roof without looking back.
"Don't play dumb. This matter has already spread throughout Canghe. Why do you think those minions dared to send people to the inn to spy on you? They were just trying to find out the truth."
Wei Xin frowned.
【I didn’t reveal it.】
[Shut up, face the ghost soldiers in there, and stop eavesdropping! ]
[I didn't eavesdrop. I just listened because I was bored here.]
Wei Xin listened carefully and realized that there was no longer the intense noise as before.
Yan Xiu was pressing behind him, so he went into a room and asked, "Have you dealt with all the ghost soldiers?"
【It couldn't be completely solved, so we moved to another place. 】
【How to change it? 】
[To control so many ghost soldiers, you must rely on the formation method. Find the center of the formation and destroy it. ]
【You destroyed it? 】
[No, it's Xu Shun. ]
Wei Xin raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that he was indeed the chosen one. How could he find the center of the formation so quickly?
How did he find it?
[When he saw me being dragged by the ghost soldiers, he rushed over to save me and killed me with his sword, accidentally touching the center of the formation.]
Is it such a coincidence?
[You found the center of the formation, and you deliberately led Xu Shun to destroy it.]
Yundu smiled and said, "How are you doing? Are you injured?"
【no.】
[I heard the sound of you vomiting blood.]
【That's spitting.】
Wei Xin glanced around the room, looked at the furnishings inside, stopped, and turned to look at the door.
[Don’t spit anywhere.] Yundu taught.
[Just take care of yourself, there are more than just ghost soldiers in there. ]
【It's natural. Wen Jingcheng disappeared.】
【So what are you talking about here? 】
【I’m afraid you’ll be bored.】
【......】
Wei Xin suddenly wanted to finish this feather technique. Why hasn't it lost its effect yet? !
"I never thought that there would be a time when you would have to flee in panic." Yan Xiu walked in with a big laugh, "You can't escape. Today is the day you die."
"That may not be the case. My death is still a long way off." Wei Xin thought to himself, it's all written in the book!
"What big talk!" Yan Xiu moved his pair of ghostly hands in front of his chest. His fingers were bent and moved in a strange arc. A ball of black mist gradually expanded and quickly approached Wei Xin.
"Leave me the Red Blood Pearl and I will spare your life."
Wei Xin stood still like a mountain, allowing the dark mist to envelop him.
"If you don't mind living long enough, come and get it."
Yan Xiu watched helplessly as the black mist engulfed him. Black bloodstains appeared on the ground and flowed continuously into his body along the six veins. At the same time, the black mist became thicker.
There were signs of people struggling inside. Yan Xiu's face gradually turned darker and he said in a deep voice, "Don't struggle. You can't escape from this Netherworld Formation. This formation is made up of the skeletons of thousands of ghost soldiers and human sacrifices. No one can get out of it."
"Including yourself?"
Yan Xiu raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were suddenly burned by a burning flame. He saw Wei Xin, who was covered in karmic fire, breaking through the formation without any harm. Oh no...his hair was injured, and it was all white.
"How are you..."
"You wanted to die with so many people, but Yan Lin wanted me to save you. For her sake, I will save you this time to repay the favor." Wei Xin raised a finger bone and said.
Yan Xiu didn't understand what was going on. There was nothing special about this finger bone. Yan Lin just said it was a token of love and asked him to give it to Wei Xin as her last wish. He also checked and found no other problems, so he gave it to Wei Xin.
Facing his puzzled look, Wei Xin said, "There is nothing special about this finger bone. The owner of the finger bone was even just a servant of your Gui Luo Sect. But today, there were only a few disciples in the front hall at the birthday banquet. There was no one else. I guess he must have been sacrificed. Yan Lin gave me this finger bone as a request for help and a reminder."
Yan Xiu's face darkened.
"The Gui Luo Sect has a secret formation - the Earth Nether Formation. It requires the sacrifice of a hundred people with true energy, and then uses the Yin energy of corpses as a medium. The person who sets up the formation provides supreme power, but the result is an explosion and death. Except for the previous leader of the Gui Luo Sect who used this formation, no one dared to use it anymore. After all, no one wants to risk their life for it." Wei Xin walked in front of him and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
The formation was interrupted and backfired on itself. Yan Xiu spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and activated the Netherworld Formation again.
Wei Xin pinched his wrist bone and bent it downward, breaking the bone.
"How could your internal strength be so strong..." Yan Xiu raised his head in disbelief, almost recalling the powerful internal strength he had experienced when they first fought. The huge gap made him shudder.
From then on, he devoted himself to cultivation, and would not hesitate to sacrifice anything as long as he could have a chance, even if it meant the path to the ghost.
"I've already said that the decline of internal strength is a rumor. Whoever started the rumor should be held accountable," Wei Xin said.
Yan Xiu looked at him with half belief and half doubt, but he did not dare to underestimate him anymore. He pinched his broken wrist bone, which soon recovered to its original state, and stretched out his hand to attack his chest.
Wei Xin took over the question with ease, saying, "You set up a trap today, asking so many of your men and guests to sacrifice themselves, and even risking your own life. After much thought, I think there is only one person who can make you do this."
Yan Xiu's attack became more and more fierce. Even though he was hit by several palms and his body was burning with fire, he did not dodge and went straight to his chest, tearing his clothes with his nails.
"Did something happen to Yan Lin?" Wei Xin asked.
Yan Xiu's movements paused slightly, his pupils shrank, and his movements became more fierce: "Lend me the red blood bead!"
At this moment, Yan Xiu groaned, fell forward, and hit Wei Xin's chest.
Wei Xin held him down and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you shouldn't throw yourself into my arms."
【I don’t know shame.】Yun Du said.
[Why are you still eavesdropping? Has Wen Jingcheng been found? ]
【Well, I found a beauty. 】
【Yan Lin? 】
[It should be her. Why didn't you mention that she is so beautiful? ]
[You didn’t ask.]
[Such a beautiful woman favors you, aren't you tempted? 】
[There are so many people who like me, do I have to be tempted by all of them? ]
【Who else favors you? 】
[...I don't know. Will I die if I brag?]
[It's a pity that the beauty is beautiful, but she has no soul. ]
Before Wei Xin answered, he noticed that something was wrong with Yan Xiu's condition. Half of his bones began to turn black. He didn't know if it was because the formation was interrupted that it affected him so quickly.
"Wei Xin, please forgive me..." Yan Xiu used all his strength to grab his collar, "Can you save Yan Lin?"
"Okay, but you, the ghost Roman, must belong to me."
"At this time, you are still taking advantage of the situation?!"
"How can this be considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Gui Luomen was the bait you threw out, and I took the bait willingly." Wei Xin said with a smile.
"......Okay, I promise you, as long as you save her, not to mention Gui Luomen, even my life will belong to you!"
"I have no interest in a worthless person like you." Wei Xin squatted down and asked, "What happened to her? How can we save her?"
"Give her the Red Blood Pearl to keep her alive."
"Then you'd better die." Wei Xin stood up and left.
"Wait!" Yan Xiu shouted, "I really have no other choice, she..."
"Where is she?"
The people in the secret cave are all sacrifices to the Earth Netherworld Array. The real Yan Lin must not be in there.
“She’s right here, watching us.”
