Chapter 192: Not as good as Junior Uncle, Not as good as Junior Sister
Yuan Ye and Ni Jinxuan had just run out when they saw Xie Yu waiting outside.
Yuan Ye looked at Xie Yu's cold face and was a little angry. "Xie Yu, since you have set up the trap early in the morning, why do you regret it?"
"There were six people inside. They were found in the Imperial Master's Mansion and were detained by me in the temple until one of them suddenly appeared in my residence one night and said he wanted to make a deal with me."
Xie Yu ignored Yuan Ye's questioning and said in a cold voice, "If your so-called uncle has some ability, then I will believe you, and those people will be considered as a gift from me to the Taoist priest and the master."
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a thick shadow under his eyes, "And I will also hand it over to you, Imperial Master, and give you a share of the merit."
Yuan Ye looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to have no burden in disbelief, "Xie Er?"
"I did regret it, because after thinking about it, I decided that between the Imperial Master and my brother who I grew up with, I would rather trust my brother than the Imperial Master."
Xie Yu raised his eyes, his eyes were as dark as ink, without a single gleam of light, "But they promised me that as long as they lead you here, they can help me summon the soul and reshape Lingyin's body."
Yuan Ye laughed in anger, "You are plotting against me? Do you want to weigh my value in your eyes? Do you know what you are dealing with? Those people are evil!"
Xie Yu shook the sleeves of his official robe and suddenly asked, "Have you seen my robe? The year you left, we were both sixteen years old. When I was sixteen, I went to war and my fiancée was captured by the enemy. I committed suicide to protect the Great Zhou from threats. When I was seventeen, my father and brother both died on the battlefield. It was because the emperor refused to send reinforcements and the redundant officials along the way withheld food and fodder. Many soldiers were frozen to death or starved to death."
"Yuan Ye, when you were seeking immortality on the Fairy Island, I, Xie Yu, was almost dead on the battlefield! This official robe of mine is purple from countless blood and corpses!"
Xie Yu gritted his teeth and approached Yuan Ye. "For the past nine years, I have been thinking every day about why I am alive. Ling Yin asked me to save the country, and I did it. Yuan Ye, you left to avoid saving the country, but I, Xie Yu, saved it for you! I was the one who helped your second uncle who was a farmer to get up!"
"Now I just want Song Lingyin, I don't care who I'm doing business with!"
"She is just an evil demon. I, Xie Yu, am the most evil and despicable demon in this Great Zhou. As long as I can see her again, I won't be afraid of going to hell."
Yuan Ye was frightened by Xie Yu's sudden outburst of murderous aura. He finally opened his mouth, but no words came out.
The Yuan family owes the Xie family, but the Xie family never owes the Yuan family.
Xie Yu suddenly stopped his murderous aura and said, "I'm done. It doesn't matter if you want to kill me."
Yuan Ye took a step back and walked back, "Xie Qingyu, let me tell you, if anything happens to Junior Master, I will kill you sooner or later."
Ni Jinxuan was confused by what she heard, but it did not stop her from taking off her whip. "Didn't you say that Junior Master must have her reasons for doing this?"
"That makes sense, little master uncle can't use spiritual power. There are seven people in total, and there is also a mechanical technique. The cultivation level is higher than mine, which means that the seven people in it have at least reached the Tengyun realm. The Tantric Buddhist disciples are not on the same path as us."
Yuan Ye said as he used his spiritual power, "It will take me some time to find the checkpoint of this stone gate. Wait for me..."
Before Yuan Ye finished speaking, Ni Jinxuan raised her fist and punched at him, causing the first stone door to shatter.
"What did you just say?" Ni Jinxuan turned her head and blinked her big eyes.
Yuan Ye replied weakly, "Nothing."
He has had enough of this life where the elders are not as good as the younger ones and the younger ones are not as good as the older ones.
Oh, no, it’s that I’m not as good as my junior uncle and not as good as my junior sister.
But the next moment he quickly threw out a puppet to block the rain of swords that was about to fall, then used his spiritual power to drive it and pulled Ni Jinxuan in.
"Why do I remember that this is the scarecrow we put in the spiritual field to drive away birds?"
Ni Jinxuan left her dependent junior uncle and gained the upper hand with intelligence.
Yuan Ye responded, "Yes, it's not time yet. It's still in my storage ring. It's the new and improved version. I'll use it as it's fit. At least it can block knives."
Just as he finished speaking, a silver blade tip with a cold glow landed in front of him. Yuan Ye immediately leaned back tactically, his chins almost popping out.
Ni Jinxuan stretched out her hand and used her spiritual power to get the silver blade back.
Yuan Ye let out a long breath, then pointed to the next stone door, intending to liven up the atmosphere, "Go, giant dwarf."
Ni Jinxuan: …
She glanced at Yuan Ye and asked, "You have also practiced body refining, right?"
Yuan Ye: Hmm?
Before Yuan Ye could react, he was thrown out by Ni Jinxuan. Fortunately, he defended himself in time, using his spiritual power to protect his body, and then directly broke open the second stone door.
The stone door was of good quality. Even after it was hit and a twisted human-shaped hole was formed, it did not break into pieces.
Yuan Ye was shocked, but fortunately he still had his reaction ability. He gritted his teeth and reached out to pull Ni Jinxuan over, holding her in his arms, then rolled and crawled to hold her down.
A huge stone ball from the ceiling flew past Yuan Ye's head.
"What's wrong with being short? Being short is good. At least your height won't get hit by the stone balls." Yuan Ye added positively and vowed never to be rude again.
Ni Jinxuan laughed, which was very much like Lin Du himself, and continued to throw Yuan Ye forward.
open circuit.
He passed all the checkpoints and killed all the generals along the way until the eighteenth stone gate opened.
Wei Zhi was a righteous cultivator after all, so he would not sit idly by and rescued the little dragon man who had taken all the damage by himself. Then he turned around and found that Lin Du had already searched all the souls.
The man looked at the magic crystals and the human body in his palm and thought, "Xie Qingyu is not completely bad after all."
Yuan Ye nodded and said, "My brother has been fighting all his life, so what's wrong with him wanting a fiancée?"
Lin Du: ...Your values are a bit distorted, little brother.
She looked at Yuan Ye with a smile, "Come, Junior Master, I'll tell you what I found."
Yuan Ye went over obediently. Although he looked like a wolf, the defensive formation of his robe was broken and his hair was loose, he still had a flattering smile on his face. But as soon as he walked over, he was hit hard by Lin Du.
"This Imperial Master is in collusion with the ghosts that escaped from the Lanju Realm. Xie Yu said that corpses are found on the mass graves in the Imperial Master's Mansion every now and then. They are probably eaten by this group of evil ghosts. After entering the mortal world, they first find a suitable body to possess. However, since it is a mortal body after all, it needs to constantly replenish its essence and blood to keep the corpse from decaying."
Lin Du pointed at the corpses on the ground that were beginning to decay without the support of ghosts.
"I guess Xie Yu didn't feed them any humans in the past few years, so some people's bodies started to decay and were replaced by puppets by Wen Fu."
"But he did agree to the deal and wanted to trap us here. Even though he changed his mind and let you go, he still had some thoughts, didn't he?"
"Yuan Ye, nine years is but a blink of an eye in the eyes of us monks, but for mortals, nine years means a lot of changes. People will change. Don't you know this?"
Yuan Ye pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, "I know."
Lin Du smiled and said, "Very good."
"These people are so confident that they can eat us, or just take us away and replace us with a monk's body, and return to the right path!"
"Wenfu is also a disciple of the Supreme Sect. Does that prevent him from associating with the evil demons now?"
Lin Du still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of majesty, "Is it because the food of the Supreme Sect is so good that it has eaten away your kindness?"
After scolding Yuan Ye, she said to Ni Jinxuan, "Why did you come in with him? Didn't Junior Master say that if the adults can solve it, it's not your turn to solve it. If the adults can't solve it, you can't solve it either."
Lin Du restrained his tone and asked gently, "Why don't you listen to Junior Master?"
Ni Jinxuan was frightened by Lin Du's rare anger. She pulled Lin Du's sleeve and whispered, "I'm worried about Junior Master. Yuan Ye just heard from Xie Yu that there are seven people in there. Yuan Ye said that they are all above the Tengyun Realm. I'm afraid you can't beat them."
Lin Du tapped her hair bag gently, "Don't mess around next time. Your junior master can't use his spiritual power to fight directly, but your junior master's brothers and sisters are not just for show."
Ni Jinxuan whispered, "Oh, I see."
After Lin Du finished scolding her, he threw a fruit to her, "You must be tired. Eat the spiritual fruit to replenish your spiritual power. Are you injured anywhere?"
Her gaze fell on Yuan Ye again, and she threw him a larger spiritual fruit and a pill for internal injuries. "You made two mistakes. The first mistake was that you trusted outsiders too much. The second mistake was that you didn't trust me enough."
Yuan Ye quickly swallowed the pill and held the fruit in his hand. He knew that Lin Du's anger had subsided, so he dared to speak, "Junior Master, I know I was wrong."
"It is wrong for the evil spirits from the Lanju Realm to escape to the mortal world and bring disaster to the human world. Now only the Imperial Master is left. You should handle it yourself."
Lin Du said, looking up slightly at the person who came out of the secret door on the other side, "After all, your good brother wants to give you a good deed."
Wei Zhi reminded him quietly, "You look like an elder, pitying their misfortune and being angry at their lack of resistance. But you seem younger than them all."
Lin Du: ...Get out, get everyone out, I don’t want to listen!
