Chapter 716: The Ghost King Enters the Styx
His words shocked me, and I was stunned. I stared at him with wide eyes and astonishment.
"Did I... hear wrongly?"
This is a ten-thousand-year-old ghost king, and he just... begged me to devour him?
Is he crazy, or am I crazy?
Who can tell me what the hell is going on?
I was confused, but Yin Luan beside me shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "He has been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, he has been suffering from the pain of being eaten by tens of thousands of ghost-faced bats all the time. It is a miracle that his heart has not collapsed."
At this point, even Yin Luan's expression dimmed.
But the thousand-year-old ghost king named Huai Yu said, "Yin Luan, I don't blame you. You did it for your tribe. I only blame myself for my incompetence. I was actually plotted against by that old woman."
Yin Luan didn't say anything after hearing this. She just stared at Huai Yu in silence. I was standing aside, but I was suspicious.
Logically, Huai Yu was eaten as food by the ghost-faced bats and was bitten for hundreds of years. His heart should be full of hatred for Yin Luan.
Why at this moment, these two people give me a feeling of... affection?
"Could it be... that after being eaten for hundreds of years, they have developed feelings for each other?" I touched my chin, looked at the two people, and fell into deep thought.
"What's your name?" At this time, Huai Yu suddenly looked at me and asked.
"Zhang Qianyu." I answered truthfully without hiding anything.
Hearing this, he looked at me straight and said, "You have a good senior sister."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the seven or eight iron chains wrapped around him, and then said, "These iron chains can only be untied by those who have the pure yin energy of the coldest yin in their bodies. The Ghost Mother is a celestial ghost, so she can untie them. Apart from her, even the Ten Thousand Year Ghost King cannot untie them. And your senior sister said that you are a pure yin man. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that your senior sister did not lie to me."
He sighed, and then continued, "You can start to devour me."
"Are you sure... you are willing to be swallowed by me?" I asked as if to confirm.
"I'm sure!" Huai Yu nodded and said, "Your senior sister told me in detail that you follow the Yin Meridian of the Yin people. Although you devoured me, my soul will not be torn apart, but I will continue to survive in the Styx inside your body. Although the ghost energy on my body will still be devoured by you, it is better than being torn apart by tens of thousands of ghost-faced bats here. And..."
He glanced at me and continued, "If you want, you can even let us leave at any time." At this
point, if I refuse again, it will seem a bit hypocritical. Besides, a thousand-year-old ghost king is delivered to my doorstep for me to devour. If I don't devour him, then there must be something wrong with my brain.
"What should I do?" I asked, looking at Yin Luan.
"Inject the pure Yin energy into the iron chain, and the iron chain will break naturally."
"That's it?" I was startled, and then walked to an iron chain. After grasping the iron chain, I had an idea.
In an instant, I heard a trembling "hum" sound, and it was the pure Yin energy in my body that surged out along my palm and instantly covered the iron chain. The
pure Yin energy quickly spread along the iron chain in my hand, and in just a blink of an eye, it wrapped all the remaining iron chains in it.
And almost at the moment when the pure Yin energy covered the iron chain, I heard a "bang bang" sound, and these iron chains began to vibrate on their own.
Then, with a crisp sound of "crack", a crack suddenly appeared on a wire, and this crack seemed to be a fuse. For a while, the crisp sound of "crackling" continued to ring, and the remaining wires also broke one after another.
Finally, with a "bang", all the wires broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
After losing the restraint of the wire, Huai Yu's body immediately softened and he fell to the ground.
He was tied up with iron chains and imprisoned here in one position for hundreds of years. In addition, he was bitten by countless ghost-faced bats every day, sharing the ghost energy on his body. He was already weak from the torture. Although his soul was not scattered, he was like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that it would be blown out at any time.
"Huai Yu!" Yin Luan stepped forward quickly and hugged Huai Yu in his arms, but Huai Yu just smiled faintly and said, "After hundreds of years, I can finally be free."
Yin Luan didn't say anything, but lowered his head and buried his face in the shadows.
"It's okay, it's not like the soul is scattered, it's just a change of environment." Huaiyu patted Yin Luan's hand, then looked up at me and said, "Zhang Qianyu, let's start."
"Okay." I nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground, pinched the seal with my hands, and began to circulate the Yin Meridian.
This is the first time I actively devoured a fierce ghost, and the opponent was a thousand-year-old ghost king.
Although I have devoured thousand-year-old ghosts before, I was in trouble, and a force suddenly erupted in my body, and then those fierce ghosts were forcibly pulled into my body.
So at this moment, I was still a little nervous.
I took a deep breath, and then suddenly my eyes focused, and I whispered to Huai Yu: "Collect!"
As my voice fell, the netherworld energy in my body immediately became agitated, and even the calm Styx was now stirring up huge waves.
Then, endless netherworld energy quickly gathered at my navel and gushed out in an instant.
I saw the netherworld energy twisting and rolling in the air, and finally, it turned into a huge palm, suspended above Huai Yu's head.
"Yin Luan, if we are destined, we should meet again." Huai Yu smiled and said to Yin Luan lightly, Yin Luan nodded lightly, and then slowly stepped aside.
Seeing this, Huai Yu looked at me and said, "Come on!"
After that, he closed his eyes. It felt like he was waiting for the judgment of the god of death!
To be honest, this scene still made me feel a little bit sorry, but I could see that after being imprisoned for hundreds of years, and being bitten and eaten by tens of thousands of ghost-faced bats for hundreds of years, Huai Yu's essence had been seriously damaged. If he didn't enter the Styx in my body, perhaps, within a few years, he would be completely dead.
So it's more appropriate to say that I took him in and let him recover in the Styx rather than swallowing him.
As soon as I thought of this, the guilt in my heart was relieved a lot. I took a deep breath and then thought again!
There was a buzzing sound, and then the huge ghost hand grabbed Huai Yu in its palm. Then, the huge ghost hand dragged Huai Yu along my belly button and slowly escaped into my body.
And at the moment when the ghost hand disappeared into my body, there was a muffled sound of "bang" coming from my sea of qi, and a wave rolled up from the sky above the Styx, and directly rolled Huai Yu who had just entered my sea of qi, and then slammed into the Styx!
