Chapter 254 - Luring the Snake out of the Cave (2/2)

“Master is right!”

“…” Motherf*cker!

He understood their logic, but why did he feel like beating these two retards to death?

He took a deep breath in and managed to suppress some of his violent thoughts. He pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I will set up a Soul Gathering Array later on to lure him out. But this is the Underworld after all. I would probably only be able to hold it up for as long as it takes to burn one joss stick. The two of you better hide well. If he manages to run away, don’t even think about getting an allowance from me in the future.”

“Yes, Father Niu! No problem, Father Niu!” The two of them replied obediently.

The moment they finished speaking they retreated a couple of metres. Yi Qing retrieved two Aura-Concealing Talismans and pasted them on his own chest.

Yes, Master won’t need them!

“…” Why did Lonemoon feel a stronger urge to hit them now?

Calm down, calm down! For the sake of Invincible Sect’s only disciple who was training in sword cultivation, he had to tolerate the two of them!

Lonemoon took a big step forward to increase the gap between him and the other two. With both of his hands, he conjured a Soul Gathering Array, which appeared beneath his feet. The array was glowing faintly. The Yin Qi and death Qi that was within the array suddenly disappeared. The array looked especially obvious in the pitch-blackness of the Underworld.

Lonemoon entered the array and sat cross-legged inside of it. He acted like he was regulating his own immortal Qi. Suddenly, the travelling souls around him retreated and ran far away from him, as if encountering something scary.

He sat there for a full ten minutes. Other than the fact that there were far fewer travelling souls around him, there was no other discernible difference. Everything around him was eerily quiet.

Was their plan not working?

Lonemoon frowned. Could it be that the other party had figured out their trick? Or did he already realise that they were here when they landed in the Divine Underworld? Lonemoon began to consider retracting his immortal Qi. This was the Divine Underworld after all, and although he could temporarily isolate himself from the Yin Qi, he could not hang on for much longer.

He was lost in his thoughts and was just about to retract the array when he felt a chilling Yin aura outside of the array that was different from that of the other travelling souls around him. That aura was steadily travelling towards him.

It’s coming!

His heart was jumping in his chest. He immediately summoned a wall using his Qi to surround his body. He heard a huge crash and saw a ball of black Qi knock into the wall. The wall, together with the array surrounding Lonemoon, disintegrated into pieces.

Lonemoon immediately retreated a couple of feet to avoid getting hurt by the shards. “Who is that?”

“Heh heh heh…” A chilling laugh sounded. The ball of black Qi disappeared and a human figure appeared in its place. It was a woman dressed in black robes. She looked extremely pale, and her eyes were bloodshot. Streaks of blood were flowing down her cheeks in place of tears. The blood kept dripping from her face onto the ground. She gave Lonemoon a manic look. “Immortal soul, my immortal soul, mine… mine!”

Rich Yin Qi exploded from her body. A huge array appeared on top of the two of their heads, flashing a blood red.

“The Blood-Soul Array!” Lonemoon exclaimed. He turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs, “Shen Ying!”

The next moment, it started raining swords. The swords were all pointing toward the ghost immortal, flying down toward her. They cut through the thick Yin Qi and through the woman as well, forming several holes in her body. Even her head split into two.

Yet, she looked like she could not feel any pain. She turned around, staring at Yi Qing with her bleeding eyes. The holes in her body began to fill up again, so that she looked like she had never been cut. “Immortal soul, my immortal soul…” When she finished speaking, she charged toward Shen Ying. An overwhelming amount of Yin Qi rushed toward the ground.

Lonemoon jumped, shouting, “Shen Ying, be careful! She doesn’t have a physical body, you can’t-”

Bam!

Before he could finish speaking, the ghost immortal got slapped and held down by Shen Ying’s palm. Shen Ying turned to face him. “Father Niu, what did you say?”

“… No-Nothing?” Motherf*cker!

“Immortal soul, immortal soul…” The ghost immortal was pinned to the ground by Shen Ying, yet she kept staring at Lonemoon and Yi Qing.

Lonemoon quickly stepped forward and said, “Where’s the other person from the immortal realm that you caught earlier?”

The ghost immortal did not seem to have heard him. She kept trying to escape from under Shen Ying’s hand and charge at Lonemoon. She looked even crazier than before.

What… is wrong with this woman?
