Mi Jia Xiao Wu

Chapter 243 The Nine Nether World

Yes, that "Guo Xuyang" was just one of his own clones.

But he didn't understand why that clone wanted Xiao Yun. Did Xiao Yun possess some kind of secret?

Suddenly, his head felt like it was being pricked by needles, and he fainted.

When he woke up, he found himself on a bed in a palace.

Kasa was watching him, but he looked very weak, as if he could dissipate at any moment.

"Master, you're awake. Please put me back into the jade box. I'm afraid I won't be able to come out for a while."

"Kasa, what's going on? What is this situation?"

Guo Xuyang was shocked, not knowing what had happened.

"My boss will tell you everything," Kasa said, growing even weaker.

Guo Xuyang quickly took out the top-grade jade box he had carved before.

Kasa attached his entire soul to the hunting dog carving.

This time, Guo Xuyang did not question Kasa's choice. After all, the energy of the eagle carving had almost completely dissipated, while the energy of the hunting dog carving had not.

Kasa's soul was visibly recovering.

Guo Xuyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yu'er, what exactly happened?" Guo Xuyang asked silently.

"Master, you fainted in the Nine Nether World. It was Kasa who carried you back, fighting with all his might," Yu'er's voice sounded in his mind.

"What happened?"

"You placed your clone into the Cold Wind Cave. The Immortal Prisoner Formation, as the name suggests, is a formation that can even imprison immortals. For your clone to enter meant for you to enter as well, which is why you fainted."

"Then what about Kasa?"

"Kasa broke free from your mind, transformed into a giant eagle, and carried you back. The journey was too far. Kasa put you on the bed and then lost all his strength. If you had woken up any later, Kasa might have truly perished. There is nothing suitable for him to attach to here."

"How far is the Nine Nether World from here?"

"I don't know. Kasa flew for three days and three nights inside before breaking through the barrier and arriving at your current location."

"Has Lü Liang returned?"

"No. Kasa was only focused on saving you."

Just then, Abul entered.

"Mr. Guo, you're back. When my subordinate told me, I didn't believe it. He said you were carried back by a snow-white eagle."

"Ah, oh. Your Highness Abul, what time is it now?"

"Today is December 29th, the tenth day since you left."

Abul felt too embarrassed to say it was the tenth day since he went missing. At the time, he didn't believe what Tian Ye had said, thinking Tian Ye was talking nonsense. In the time it took him to go and check the surveillance, Guo Xuyang and Lü Liang had also disappeared. It wasn't until he ordered a subordinate to touch the door that he believed Guo Xuyang's words, which Tian Ye had relayed to him, were true. The subordinate had inexplicably vanished, and there were no traces on the wall. He ordered the area sealed off and imposed a gag order, strictly forbidding anyone from spreading the information. Tian Ye's oil tanker was arranged that very day.

"Mr. Tian Ye, please be sure not to spread this information."

"Rest assured, Your Highness Abul. Director Guo specifically instructed me before he left."

After seeing Tian Ye off, he specifically arranged for personnel to install two-way surveillance cameras at the turn, to monitor the situation at all times. He wanted to see when Guo Xuyang and the others would return. It was not until today, when he received a notice from a subordinate that Guo Xuyang had been carried back by a snow-white giant eagle, that he still didn't believe it. That's why he rushed up here.

"I was trapped inside and fainted. I don't know how I got back."

"Then what about Miss Xiao and the others?"

"I didn't find them. Mr. Lü Liang, who went with me, is also gone," Guo Xuyang said. He couldn't explain the situation to Abul, so he just said they couldn't find them.

"Then what exactly is inside, Mr. Guo?" Abul was very curious.

"Later, one of my subordinates also went in."

"Didn't I have Tian Ye tell you? Do not go near. Did he not tell you?"

"He did. I didn't believe it at the time, so I had my subordinate go forward and place his hand on the door in the wall. As a result, that subordinate vanished on the spot. Did you see him?"

"No. Inside is another space, completely different from here. It's really hard to say." Guo Xuyang was telling the truth. He couldn't describe the scene of seas of blood and mountains of bones. After all, outside was a palace. Even if he told the truth, Abul wouldn't believe him.

Abul was not satisfied with Guo Xuyang's vague explanation. Since Guo Xuyang could return, others could too. He even made up his mind to go in himself.

Guo Xuyang seemed to see through his thoughts and warned him, "Your Highness Abul, you absolutely must not go in. If you believe me, you will live to be well. If something bad happens to you after you go in, it will be difficult to get out."

"Is it really that terrifying?"

"I think it's a hundred times more terrifying than you imagine," Guo Xuyang said. He could only say so much. If Abul really insisted on going, he couldn't stop him. If it weren't for Kasa's desperate rescue, he might have remained in that Nine Nether World forever. After all, he had fainted, and he wasn't entirely clear about what had happened.

Seeing how serious Guo Xuyang was, Abul gave up the idea of going to investigate.

"Then you rest first. When I return, I'll have them prepare dinner. I'll arrange for someone to call you shortly."

"Thank you, Your Highness Abul. Please go about your business. For dinner tonight, don't go to so much trouble. Please arrange for someone to bring it to me. I'm truly exhausted and want to rest well."

"That can be arranged. You rest. I'll have someone bring it to you shortly." Abul said and left.

Since Guo Xuyang said he returned on his own, he didn't release Xiao Yun or Xiao Yu. He planned to fly back to Kyoto tomorrow. Since he couldn't save Lü Liang, he had to inform Jiang Qixin about this matter. It was not appropriate to discuss this over the phone, and given how bizarre the situation was, Jiang Qixin probably wouldn't believe him. Furthermore, the upgrade of his abilities must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. He hadn't expected to encounter another version of himself so soon. It seemed his choice of abilities was not accidental. From the "Guo Xuyang" in the Nine Nether World, he gathered that his consciousness hadn't fully recovered, meaning his abilities likely hadn't reached their highest level, which was why he couldn't ascertain certain matters.

Another pressing issue was the identity of Xiao Yun. Why did that "Guo Xuyang" want to keep Xiao Yun? He had also gained the ability system because he was in a car accident while accompanying Xiao Yun to the provincial capital. Why did the abilities choose him and not someone else? Was it truly destined? What role did Xiao Yun play in all of this?
