Chapter 9
The blood dissolved in the beads, and the colorful light became more dazzling. The surrounding mermaids knelt down devoutly, ready to cheer, but unexpectedly, the light suddenly flickered, then gradually dimmed, faded, and finally slowly lost its color.
Ji Chuya's heart was greatly shocked. He suddenly looked at Cassel who had fainted on the ground, reached out and grasped his bleeding wrist, pressing acupoints to stop the bleeding. He looked at Cassel's palm until he saw the changed shape of his hand and became furious instantly.
"You don't have the horoscope of Extreme Yin," Ji Chuya pinched his wrist and pulled him up, "Who are you?"
As soon as Cassel woke up, someone was pinching his injured part. He was shaking with pain, but he had to endure Ji Chuya's anger. He wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't. Tears welled up in his eyes and finally floated up in a series.
"I, I don't know..." Cassel struggled hard, "I really don't know anything..."
The empty place suddenly shook like an earthquake. Cracks began to spread from the wall and extended to the ground, rubble fell, and the sky and the earth spun. Everyone was shouting to run away, and screams and cries were instantly mixed together.
Everything is in chaos.
Ji Chuya turned his head to avoid the sudden sword, and looked at the oncoming person with gloomy eyes, only to see Nie Wuhen dressed in black, standing not far away, looking at everything in front of him indifferently.
Ji Chuya sneered, and he touched the blood on his cheek. He didn't care about anything around him. He just pulled Cassel in front of Nie Wuhen and said provocatively: "Isn't Yao Xianzun on Yunding the most self-righteous? How could he teach a disciple like you who would take advantage of others?"
Nie Wuhen lowered his head and pulled out the Wuwang sword. He turned the sword over and looked at Ji Chuya without saying a word.
"The jade pendant was the fuse. You had already calculated that this idiot would tell everything, so you used the jade pendant to divert my attention and make me mistakenly think that you were monitoring me. As for the cinnabar mole," Ji Chuya smiled. He pulled Cassel and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Facing his eyes full of tears and fear, he paused imperceptibly. Then, he narrowed his eyes, tilted his head, kissed the blood on Cassel's wrist, and said, "Whoever breaks this cinnabar mole will lose all his magic power..."
"But, Nie Wuhen," Ji Chuya let go of Cassel, concealed the complexity in his eyes, turned to look at Nie Wuhen, stretched out his hand, and a gorgeous staff appeared in his hand. He tilted his head and looked at Nie Wuhen, whose expression was a little cracked, and laughed happily, "Why do you think that I can't use magic power?"
As soon as the words were spoken, two rays of light, one white and one blue, collided with each other in an instant. The energy wave turned into a sharp blade, and wherever it passed, whether it was stone or seaweed, it was all turned into powder.
In a duel between masters, they would not bother to threaten each other with hostages, because in their eyes, no matter who it is, they are just a burden.
Cassel felt like his ears were going deaf and his whole body was in pain, the kind of pain that felt like cramps and broken bones. He even had difficulty standing up, but there was nothing he could do. He has to live.
The falling rubble hurt him even more. Cassel wiped his tears, forced himself to crawl over, and stood up holding the wall. He stared at the mermaid pearl in front of him, and with trembling hands, he tried hard to grab the pearl.
The cave also collapsed rapidly at that moment. At the critical moment, someone grabbed Cassel's hand and rescued him.
…
Bai Yi led Cassel out, quickly fed him the elixir, then felt his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, everything is fine."
Cassel curled up into a ball, slowly relieving the pain all over his body. He opened his mouth, breathed carefully, and relaxed himself. After his face gradually returned to its rosy color, he wiped his tears, huddled in a corner, and looked at the person in front of him with fear.
Bai Yi squatted in front of him, ignoring the two people who were fighting fiercely, and smiled at Cassel, saying casually: "I asked my senior brother to light the cinnabar mole. Once someone cuts it or touches it, the magic power will disappear temporarily, which lasts for about an incense stick. It has never failed in all these years, so why is there no effect today?"
Cassel didn't understand what he was saying. He just opened his eyes wide and looked timidly. His tears dissolved into the ocean and turned into nothingness. He wiped his tears and choked up and said, "I'm in so much pain... I want to go home."
Everyone said they would protect his life, but no one meant it. Obviously, they don't have the purest demonic aura, but what they do is more terrifying than that of the devil.
Bai Yi played with the fan in his hand and looked at Cassel thoughtfully for a while. When he had cried enough, he knocked on the fan handle and said, "Where is the mermaid pearl?"
Cassel stopped crying and looked at him blankly.
"It's the bead you got when the cave collapsed." Bai Yi stretched out his hand and uttered two words, "Give it to me."
Cassel held the mermaid pearl in his hand without moving. He bit his lip and shrank back again, his voice trembling and vague: "No, I won't give it to you."
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
The wings behind him flapped restlessly. Cassel gathered his clothes and clenched the beads in his hand tightly. He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Bai Yi.
At this moment, the battle over there ended, and Ji Chuya turned around and fled. Seeing this, Nie Wuhen also retracted the Wuwang Sword, walked over without any emotion, and asked: "Where is the Mermaid Pearl?"
Just when Bai Yi was about to say something, he saw Cassel running over with a grunt, holding the mermaid pearl in both hands and handing it to Nie Wuhen as if offering a treasure.
Bai Yi was stunned.
Nie Wuhen was also stunned for a moment.
"Here you go," Cassel leaned over, his voice no longer filled with fear like before, but instead with joy, mixed with flattery and caution, "... Don't you want it?"
Nie Wuhen was silent for a moment, then took it.
The mermaid pearl is the best thing to purify one's inner demons, and he must get it. Otherwise, according to his abilities, he will either be the next Demon Lord or the next person to be killed by Yun Dian.
In order to survive, he cannot be controlled by his inner demons. Since the pills refined by Bai Yi were of little use to him, he needed a purifying treasure - the mermaid pearl. Hence, a series of plans were made.
The last time Bai Yi met Ji Chuya, he asked vaguely if he could borrow the mermaid pearl, but was kicked out. The two had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
What people didn’t expect was that the magic power of this mermaid pearl was actually made by absorbing the yin energy of living people. No wonder women with pure yin horoscopes are sacrificed every year.
Nie Wuhen never thought that he was a good person. How can someone who deserves the title of Sword Master not have a drop of blood on his hands?
However, he did not quite understand why this monster in front of him was indifferent to his use or why he did not realize it at all.
Nie Wuhen lowered his head and looked into Cassel's pure eyes.
Cassel scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then took two steps back, and returned to his fearful look, and asked in a low voice: "Can you take me home?"
Nie Wuhen was silent for a long time, and finally said one word: "Yeah."
It just so happened that he also wanted to take a look at what species this thing in front of him was.
Cassel cheered immediately.
When we got out of the sea, it was already night outside. The full moon is in the sky, and the sea and sky are one color. The moonlight softly fell on the sea. As the breeze blew, the sea surface sparkled, as if broken silver was scattered on it, or a piece of silver cloth had fallen into it.
Cassel touched his face and found that his gills had disappeared and he could breathe on land again. Looking back at the two men, I saw one leaning against a tree, wiping the Wuwang sword with his head down, and the other one took his clothes and walked into the depths of the woods. After a while, Bai Yi came over dressed neatly.
Cassel was still wearing his wet wedding gown, and most of the pearl hairpins on his head had fallen off, and the remaining ones were stuck in his hair in a mess.
Before Bai Yi could say anything, he heard the sound of a sword being sheathed. He turned his head and saw Nie Wuhen took out a set of clothes from the space and threw it to Cassel.
Cassel was a beat slow to react and missed it, so he had to bend down to pick it up. He said "thank you" sincerely, and then took off his wet clothes one by one in front of the two of them.
He was not aware that no matter whether they were demons or angels, the clothes they wore were revealing, and some even exposed their entire chests, so he did not quite understand why the people here were dressed so tightly.
Because it’s cold? That's not right. Cassel took off the last piece of clothing and bent down to pick up the clothes on the ground. Don’t Nie Wuhen and the others have that kind of belt? In this case, why do we need to wrap ourselves up tightly?
A breeze blew by, and Cassel sniffed, feeling a little cold. Later he seemed to remember that he had thrown the belt that Nie Wuhen had given him into the sea and could not find it.
Bai Yi had already run away, and only Nie Wuhen was left with his eyes closed to rest. Cassel naturally didn't dare to go up to him and ask him what he wanted, so he could only put on his clothes in frustration.
After putting on his clothes, Cassel sat on a stone beside him, threw away all the pearl hairpins on his head, then lowered his head and rubbed his cold palms.
But no, it's still cold. Cassel turned around and glanced at Nie Wuhen who seemed to be asleep. After hesitating for a while, he tiptoed over.
It was a little warm around Nie Wuhen, so Cassel moved closer. As he moved closer, he looked at Nie Wuhen carefully. Seeing that the latter still had no reaction, he instantly became bolder.
He adjusted his posture and leaned against the same big tree as Nie Wuhen, wrapped himself in clothes contentedly and closed his eyes.
Since Barbatos said that he wanted to steal Nie Wuhen's inner elixir, it means that he has to gain Nie Wuhen's trust. Therefore, his next task is just to follow him.
Cassell thinks simply. He slept with his eyes closed, and felt happy in his dreams. But what he didn't notice was that the moment he closed his eyes, Nie Wuhen opened his eyes and glanced at him indifferently.
No one goes anywhere unless there is benefit. He wanted to see what purpose this monster had in trying so hard to please him.
