"Hui Shuo?" Wu Ying didn't know Hui Shuo's name and was a little confused for a moment. Then, another fierce ghost pounced over from a distance.
“It was… that monk… who… saved a… ghost with moderate… corpse-like illness,” Wang Yao answered, trembling.
He has now determined that Lin Yazhi's transformation into a vengeful ghost in the haunted building was due to a moderate case of corpse aura. He had used the Awakening Token to wake her up, and Hui Shuo had also enveloped her with the golden light of the wooden fish.
Now that he himself couldn't cure the vengeful ghost with moderate corpse qi syndrome using the Awakening Mantra, Lin Yazhi was able to save it, which is naturally due to the effect of the golden light of the Hui Shuo wooden fish.
Although Wang Yao knew that Hui Shuo could cure vengeful spirits with moderate corpse qi syndrome, firstly, the passage in the underworld area still depended on Hui Shuo to guard it.
Moreover, Wuying's spells, combined with the fact that he himself was already in such a state, would only increase the pressure if Huishuo were added to the mix. They couldn't possibly use up Wuying's resources in the process of saving the ghost.
Furthermore, they hadn't encountered too many moderately afflicted corpse-qi ghosts along the way, so to prevent them from progressing to severe levels and becoming new sources of corpse energy, Wang Yao primarily focused on eliminating them.
But now that he's seen Huang Sheng, who is, after all, Wu Ying's friend, and who has also become entangled with Hui Shuo's lover, who is now involved in Hui Shuo's marriage.
If it weren't for his suggestion to take that dead end and lead the way, thus discovering the source of the corpse energy ahead of time, the entire Zero Floor would probably still be in the dark, and the resulting losses would be unimaginable. Therefore, from any perspective, Wang Yao couldn't bring himself to kill Huang Sheng.
"Fortunately, the immortal had a solution. I was still regretting that I tampered with the lottery and left this bastard in the Underworld Affairs Zone, which harmed him." After hearing what Wang Yao said, Wu Ying's expression improved slightly, and he muttered to himself.
"You really are..." Wang Yao looked at Wu Ying in astonishment. When he arranged for Hui Shuo's admirers to form various passage blockades in the Underworld Affairs District, everyone argued and quarreled because they all wanted to stay by Hui Shuo's side. In the end, it was Wu Ying who presided over everyone to draw lots to decide who would go where.
As soon as the results of the lottery were announced, a ghost accused Wuying of tampering with the results and eventually threatened him to settle the matter.
Unexpectedly, Wuying really cheated. Wang Yao was watching from the side. Although he was worried about the safety of the Underworld and didn't pay much attention, Wuying's technique was really amazing. Even he couldn't see through it.
"Being a ghost is boring, so I just look for some fun now and then. This son of a bitch only wants to stay by the monk's side. I can see that all too well. I don't have any other benefits for him, so I'll just let him have his way." Wuying chuckled, embarrassed by Wang Yao's gaze.
Wang Yao shook his head speechlessly, turned around, and saw several more fierce ghosts swaying and roaring as they rushed towards him. He raised his hand, wanting to use his lightning magic again, but unexpectedly, a red light flashed incessantly in his mind like a police light.
"Tap tap tap..."
"Warning! Warning! The system has been attacked by an unknown poisonous gas. Please isolate the source of the gas as soon as possible, otherwise the entire system will automatically shut down!"
Wang Yao was stunned. He never expected that his capture of Huang Sheng would affect the performance of his immortal arts. He didn't know that the corpse energy was too vicious. Wang Yao's immortal body could restrain all evil things, but conversely, his immortal body was also greatly restrained by evil things.
Even carrying two ounces of Yin energy on his body for a long time would damage his immortal body, let alone the corpse energy, which is a hundred times more yin and foul than Yin energy. After all, Wang Yao has now reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and his resistance has greatly improved compared to his previous state as a newly promoted immortal who was not even at the Qi Refining stage.
To protect Wang Yao's immortal body from being affected, the system proactively disabled his ability to invoke immortal techniques. After all, with a heavy burden on his body, it would be easier for corpse energy to enter and contaminate his immortal body.
"What's wrong?" Wu Ying asked hurriedly when he saw Wang Yao's expression change drastically.
"Nothing much? The corpse energy on Huang Sheng's body is preventing me from using immortal techniques." Wang Yao replied indifferently. He released "Capture" and sent Huang Sheng far behind him. "Capture" can also move the position of the "captured" person.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Yao unleashed a barrage of lightning, annihilating several fierce ghosts that rushed close.
"Let's go!" Wang Yao shouted softly, taking a step forward. The vengeful ghost that Huang Sheng had transformed into stumbled and followed behind, trailing Wu Ying and Wang Yao all the way.
Wang Yao cleared away the evil spirits blocking the way, keeping a distance from Huang Sheng. He only wanted to lead Huang Sheng to the blockade point to see if Hui Shuo was safe. If Hui Shuo was alright, he would ask Hui Shuo to save him as soon as possible.
Wuying saw through Wang Yao's plan and took the initiative to seduce Huang Sheng. After all, the vengeful ghost had lost its mind and its attention was often drawn to the fallen ghost on the ground, no longer following the two. At this time, Wuying had to get closer to the vengeful ghost to attract its attention.
The two walked and stopped, and the pile of fallen ghosts in front of them gradually grew higher and higher, with some places even having two or three layers. The fierce ghosts could not distinguish the road and often tripped over the fallen ghosts blocking their way. It was possible that Wang Yao would have to use "Restraint" to adjust Huang Sheng's direction.
"Lord Yue Lao!" Wang Yao had just cleared away one vengeful ghost when he heard Wu Ying's voice again from behind. He thought Huang Sheng had been tripped by a fallen ghost again, so he hurriedly turned around. But to his surprise, he saw Huang Sheng being grabbed by two vengeful ghosts and being torn apart.
Wang Yao hurriedly struck out with lightning, killing the two evil spirits. However, Huang Sheng, having lost his opponent, staggered a few steps and collapsed with a "thud" onto the fallen ghost at his feet. Upon seeing this, Wang Yao quickly "captured" Huang Sheng again.
He then released the restraints and moved Huang Sheng behind him, but unexpectedly, as soon as the restraints were released, Huang Sheng fell down again.
"Get up! You son of a bitch, get up now, are you crazy?! You're a ghost, what kind of corpse are you lying here like this? Get up, come and bite me! You son of a bitch, don't you hate me the most?..." Wuying screamed there.
