Following Jiang Yuan's gaze, Yama's Pen glanced at the souls floating in mid-air, nodded, and then led those souls into the Gates of the Underworld.
It trusted its master completely; if its master said so, then it must be able to handle this monster!
As the last soul stepped into the Gates of the Underworld, the gates slowly closed and disappeared before our eyes.
Jiang Yuan looked up in the direction where the monster had disappeared, then turned around, reached out and grabbed the monster's wrist, pulling it out of the darkness.
The monster's eyes were filled with nothing but surprise, as if it hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to discover its existence.
"Don't forget, this is my territory," Jiang Yuan kindly replied.
This is a space she created using her spiritual power. As long as you are in this space, no matter what is there, she can sense the movement of the other party.
Even though its figure could blend into the darkness, she could still pinpoint its location at a glance.
The monster seemed to understand what Jiang Yuan was saying and sensed the danger.
But Jiang Yuan held his wrist tightly.
A powerful force continuously poured into its body from her, rendering it unable to move.
This power was also exceptionally strong for the monster, causing a hint of fear to appear in its eyes.
Jiang Yuan grabbed the monster's wrist and bent it upwards. The monster seemed to feel no pain at all, and its eyes remained the same as before.
“Immortals don’t consume souls, they don’t rely on souls to cultivate, and they’re afraid of pain,” Jiang Yuan said coldly.
But the monster in front of us is not.
It eats souls; souls are its nourishment.
It felt pain because nutrients were being lost from its body.
But when its wrist was broken, it didn't feel anything at all.
Its various reactions and signs indicate that it is not a fairy!
However--
The monster seemed unable to understand human speech, only being sensitive to the word "immortal".
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan mention "immortal," it uttered a broken sound, repeating the same word, "immortal...immortal..."
Jiang Yuan frowned.
It's like a monster, yet its intelligence is like that of a three-year-old child, with an underdeveloped language system, or perhaps it's as if those who raised it only taught it that one word.
Other emotions and unspoken thoughts can only be understood through its eyes.
Jiang Yuan's destiny chart eye spun, and there seemed to be a clock in her red pupil, but it only spun once and then stopped.
Even when you're face to face, you still can't tell where it came from.
It was just like when she looked at Ning Yuan and couldn't see his past.
Ning Yuan was awakening because he had been reincarnated nine times, and in his final, tenth life, he had risked everything. In addition, he had sealed himself in that wisp of soul and was gradually awakening.
That wisp of soul did not have Ning Yuan's memories, so her destiny chart could not be seen.
And what about the monster in front of us?
What's going on this time?
Jiang Yuan originally intended to determine what kind of immortal creature it had consumed by examining its past, but she never expected...
I can't see it.
The monster stared intently at Jiang Yuan's red eyes, and as it stared, it seemed to realize something and, provoked, let out a loud shout.
It broke off the wrist that Jiang Yuan was holding.
Click—
The moment his wrist broke, a hand grew back, which transformed into claws and slapped at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan dodged to the side, made a hand seal, and pierced through the claw.
Even so, the monster did not back down. Its pierced hand grew back and headed towards Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan frowned.
She was spying on its past, and it shouldn't have found out, so why did it react so strongly?
Jiang Yuan only thought for a moment before she came back to her senses. When the monster approached her, she once again made a hand seal and attacked. The monster retreated repeatedly and spat out another mouthful of black blood.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared, landing in front of the monster.
Before the monster could react, Jiang Yuan raised her foot and stepped on its face, causing soul fire to erupt around it, trapping it.
Jiang Yuan quickly formed a hand seal and delivered another blow to the monster.
His face was pierced by the golden light, leaving it a bloody mess, like a watermelon falling from a tall building.
But after that, its face returned to normal once again.
After it recovered, Jiang Yuan unleashed another golden light, piercing through its face.
After being punctured, it returned to its original state once again.
After several repetitions, Jiang Yuan noticed that its recovery ability had slowed down.
Previously, once it was punctured, it could recover in the blink of an eye.
But now, the recovery speed is visibly slower.
It takes about ten seconds to recover.
What exactly is this thing?
The captured monster glared at Jiang Yuan, etching her image into its mind.
Ignoring its anger, Jiang Yuan began to study it.
Its blood also carried an ethereal quality, indicating that the immortal's flesh and blood had long since merged with it.
But its face...
Could it be a backlash from eating the flesh and blood of an immortal?
The other person's name and identity could not be found in the Book of Life and Death.
In other words, it shouldn't exist in this world at all.
It is an irrational existence.
It is an irrational existence, yet it exists in the world and even consumes the flesh and blood of immortals.
The monster in front of them made intermittent "ah ah ah" sounds, as if it wanted to say something.
However, Jiang Yuan couldn't understand what it was saying.
However, one thing is certain.
It shouldn't exist.
Since it shouldn't exist, as the Queen of Hell, she has the obligation and the right to erase its existence.
If it doesn't do anything bad, then it should be divine retribution punishing it.
However, it kills people and eats their souls, causing the deaths of innocent people and increasing the business of the underworld, which falls within its jurisdiction.
