Chapter 31 Ji Chan's overwhelming ecstasy
Not really wanting to...
Seeing her frustrated look, Xiao Hei couldn't help but want to laugh: "I'll go by myself?"
“I’ll go…”
Otherwise, it would be unworthy of her identity as a great master, which is already weak enough.
Xu Xingxing held Xiao Hei's hand tighter and warned, "Don't let go, or someone will die."
"I know, I know." Xiao Hei pulled her up and walked away perfunctorily, not letting her see the smile on his lips.
As they walked, the candlelight around them became brighter and brighter. Xiao Hei took her to a corner of the room.
There was only a half-person-high vase stand here, and a broken vase on the ground next to it, with water stains and broken flowers scattered all over the ground, looking like it had just been broken.
Xiao Hei's thumb grew a sharp, pure black nail. He scratched his index finger with his fingertip, and blood flowed out of the fingertip. Then he drew a strange talisman on the bottle base. With the last stroke, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped, the room disappeared, and the two of them were immediately surrounded by black fog.
Feeling the warmth in his palm, Xu Xingxing's heart finally calmed down a little.
The surroundings were just like she was just now, with black fog surrounding her and making it impossible to see the front clearly.
Suddenly, there was a cry, a woman whispered, and occasionally there were a few screams.
"That's what happened just now." Xu Xingxing shrank his neck. "That sound is really creepy."
"Do you know why there is such a sound?" Xiao Hei curled his lips and looked at her, as if he was testing her.
Although she was timid, she still had some abilities, so it was impossible for her not to sense it: "Aren't they just the souls of those who died tragically?"
"Then why are these wronged souls trapped here?"
Xu Xingxing didn't know this and guessed, "Is it because of this jade house?"
"Not really."
"Just now when I was here, something came up behind me and touched my shoulder."
Xu Xingxing shuddered involuntarily as he recalled that scene. "I was too scared at the time and didn't pay much attention. Now that I think about it, the energy that thing emitted wasn't like Yin Qi, but rather—"
"Demonic energy." Xiao Hei interrupted her, "This demon should be the ice-controlling demon we have been looking for."
"No wonder we couldn't find him. He was captured by Zhou Qing. But," Xu Xingxing was puzzled, "Why would he capture a demon for no reason?"
"For no reason? He's not for no reason at all." Xiao Hei sneered, "Tigers and wolves are bloodthirsty, but their skins can protect against extreme cold. Snakes and scorpions are venomous, but their bodies can be used as medicine to treat illnesses. Monsters may be terrifying and cruel, but they are not completely useless to humans."
"So the purpose of this demon is to create evil spirits outside?"
"I don't know." Xiao Hei suddenly stared at a certain point in the black fog and curled his lips slightly. "I can ask it myself."
Red fire suddenly exploded from the two of them, spreading outward from the center like a wave, dispersing the black fog wherever it passed, instantly exposing the entire area.
At this time, a woman was standing quietly in front of them, her long hair was piled up on the ground, she was wearing only a thin white dress, her eyes were all black, and she was looking at them with her head tilted.
Xu Xingxing glanced at her hand and understood that she had met an acquaintance.
To be honest, after seeing so many evil spirits, this demon's face is not that scary, and even a little pitiful. Thinking about how scared I was just now, I felt a little guilty.
"Hmm? Called for help?" the monster spoke slowly, revealing its dark teeth. "That's unnecessary. Even if you were alone, I wouldn't be able to defeat you."
The room was very dark, and even after the black fog was dispelled, it was difficult to see clearly. However, at this moment, Xu Xingxing saw a strong sense of contempt in the demon's pure black pupils.
It's quite embarrassing...
Xu Xingxing laughed awkwardly and said, "Then why did you deliberately scare me?"
"I'm just curious that those souls that annoyed me could frighten you like that." The demon raised his hand to fiddle with her nails. "Besides, the fear of a cultivator is a tonic for a demon. The more I scare you, the stronger I'll become. Why not?"
Xu Xingxing was speechless and choked up. What had she done wrong, having been born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze? She was just a child who grew up under the protection of the socialist mother. What was wrong with being afraid?
But she finally listened and began to seriously reflect on herself.
She has just found three spirit beasts. She will definitely encounter more and more scary things in the future. How can she keep her mental state like this? Now it’s because she has Xiao Hei, but he can’t accompany her for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, my mood instantly became depressed.
She glanced at Xiao Hei out of the corner of her eye, sniffed, and quietly loosened her hand.
When Xiao Hei noticed it, he frowned slightly. The monster's body immediately caught fire, and with a scream, it turned around and dived into the black fog that was spreading again.
Before the two could chase after them, dozens of evil spirits suddenly flew out from the black fog. They all had faces as white as dried bones, sharp hands and teeth, and they roared and pounced towards them.
Just as Xiao Hei was about to make a move, Xu Xingxing stepped forward and stood in front of him: "I'll do it."
He clasped his hands in front of his chest and silently recited some terms. When the spell was completed, Xu Xingxing opened his eyes wide and all the evil spirits in the sky froze in an instant.
Xiao Hei's left hand clenched slightly uncomfortably because of the sudden emptiness. He whispered, "You don't have to do this."
"After all, I can't rely on you forever. I need to grow up too. Look, that monster is laughing at me."
Xu Xingxing sighed and said, "If I had been braver just now, I could have saved more time. There are too many evil spirits outside. There are only a dozen people from Kunlun. They are still waiting for us to go out and rescue them. I shouldn't have wasted time."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Hei's response, she imitated Xiao Hei, lit a fire to disperse the black fog again, and then walked towards where the monster was.
See, she can do it too.
She could defeat evil spirits and sense demonic energy, but fear had sealed her five senses, making her, a powerful figure, as weak as a chicken.
I'm sorry for Xu Xing'er's hard work in cultivation, and I'm sorry for the realm that the system secretly improved. She has brought shame to everyone...
Bow sincerely in your heart.
After taking a few steps, she saw the monster curled up on the ground, its flesh burnt, festering and oozing pus, and it was shivering while hugging its legs.
Xu Xingxing squatted not far away and asked, "Why did Zhou Qing bring you here?"
The monster let out a sinister laugh and drifted away in this empty space. Her eyes were filled with hatred: "You monks are so hypocritical. If you want to kill, just kill. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
"Do you know Rongjun?"
"Who? That Taoist priest asked me to extract the souls of so many people, how could I remember everyone's name?"
"Extracting human souls?" Xu Xingxing grasped the key words. "So Zhou Qing wants you to extract the souls of living people?"
"So what?"
The monster sneered, "At first, they took one person, then more and more. They even used my demonic blood to soak those souls that were already full of resentment, and forged evil spirits. They said they wanted to save the world. Humph, no matter how terrifying we monsters are, we are far less versatile than you humans. You even want to create an army of evil spirits. It's ridiculous!"
"Then can you return the soul to its place?"
"Return to their place? Are you naive or stupid?" The monster looked at the frozen ghosts. "I've already eaten all of these ghosts' bodies. How can they return to their place?"
"What if there's still a body? If there's an innocent woman whose body is taken over by another spirit, can she be resurrected?"
"Hmm? That escaped ghost?" The monster suddenly laughed sinisterly. "I have to thank her very much. If it weren't for her, that stinky Taoist priest wouldn't have let me stay with that snake all night. That snake's meat is so delicious. My body, which was too depleted from releasing demonic blood, has recovered a lot."
After saying that, he stuck out his black tongue and licked his lips.
Xu Xingxing frowned, and thinking of the appearance of the Hades Snake and the icicles in the pond, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Xiao Hei sensed the woman's mood and immediately felt annoyed. With a thought, he saw the flames envelop the monster again. The monster had no way to escape and could only scream helplessly.
"Xiao Hei, wait a minute." Xu Xingxing tugged at the hem of the person standing nearby and soothed him, "Let me finish asking."
But when the monster heard Xu Xingxing's words, it froze for a moment, as if forgetting the pain in its body. It turned its neck and looked at Xiao Hei in disbelief, even forgetting to struggle.
Xu Xingxing dispersed the fire on the monster's body, and she saw that she had lost her human form, her hair was gone, and only a torn flesh shell remained. She muttered to herself, and the next second she knelt down on the ground in fear towards Xiao Hei.
Xu Xingxing was puzzled, but time was pressing, so he asked, "Can the woman's soul be returned to its place?"
"Yes. Immortal Lord, you may call me Ji Chan." Ji Chan suddenly became serious, but his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Hei. "I am originally a demon. I extract souls for my own consumption, so there is no way to return them. But the woman's soul has been away from her body for less than a month. If the Kunlun Master can nourish her with spiritual power, she should still have a chance of survival. However, the soul's tongue was pulled out, so even if she is resurrected, she probably won't be able to speak."
"Her memory is damaged. Is there any way to restore it?" Xu Xingxing felt very uncomfortable when she saw Ji Chan replying seriously. She followed her gaze and glanced at Xiao Hei. She saw that Xiao Hei also had his brows furrowed and looked very impatient.
"I don't know. This was done by Zhou Qing. Souls that have lost their memories are easier to refine successfully."
"Have you ever seen a cultivator?" Xu Xingxing described Wu Sheng's appearance as Fang Zhiming had told her. "He chased you, but he didn't catch you and disappeared."
Ji Chan seemed to think about it, then shook his head. "I roughly know who you're talking about. They were two people chasing me together. I was so focused on escaping at the time that I didn't pay much attention to them."
"Then do you know that there is a magic spell in the mountains behind Qingzhou?"
"What formation?" Ji Chan was confused. "I don't know."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, Xu Xingxing said, "Then I want you to extract that soul from Rongjun's body."
"Zhou Qing said that after death, if the soul does not return to the underworld, it will dissipate, so the snake is needed to reshape her soul. Moreover, a mortal who borrows another person's body without permission is already against the Tian Gang. There is no need for me to extract it. If she does not have fresh blood to nourish her today, it will dissipate on its own."
After Ji Chan finished answering, he suddenly bowed solemnly to Xu Xingxing and said, "I have a favor to ask of you, Immortal Lord."
"What?"
"My life here is worse than death. The Immortal Lord's coming here can help me escape. I know that my sins are deep and I do not ask for the Immortal Lord's forgiveness, but only ask, only ask..."
"What do you want?"
"I beg you, Immortal Lord, to let the man next to you do it yourself." Ji Chan's head hit the ground with a dull sound. Soon, the ground was covered with sticky traces of blood and flesh.
Xu Xingxing glanced at Xiao Hei and hesitated, "Uh, what should I do?"
Xiao Hei looked at Ji Chan for a moment, then smiled innocently and said, "Okay."
He opened his five fingers and pointed towards Ji Chan who was kneeling on the ground. Ji Chan was trembling all over and tears were streaming down her face.
Xu Xingxing thought it was because of fear, so he turned his face away reluctantly.
Only Ji Chan herself knew, no, her spirit should also be able to sense it, that at this moment, the heart of this lowly monster was filled with overwhelming ecstasy.
What an honor it is to die at the hands of a god! I will open the door to his memory, my bones will lie beneath his throne, all demons will kneel to welcome his return, and the three realms will all submit to him!
The devil is about to come to the world again, and the demons will eventually stand at the top of the three realms again!
