Chapter 388: Chapter 166 Yu Youhan: Ji Hongxiu, do you dare to touch my man?_2
Others also came back to their senses and immediately knelt in a large group.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Consort!"
Yu Youhan asked sternly, "What exactly happened?"
Qiu Longgang reported the whole situation to her in detail.
"Bai Lingchuan colluded with the Blood Demon, attempting to refine everyone. After failing, the Blood Demon self-destructed, and Chen Mo disappeared..."
Yu Youhan was already aware of Bai Lingchuan’s private dealings with the Netherworld Sect but thought he was only doing it to prolong his life. She didn’t expect him to be so audacious!
She had just heard about this from the Empress, and was indeed momentarily flustered, but quickly regained her composure.
With a red silk bond between them, her Spiritual Sense vaguely told her that Chen Mo was fine.
But the question is, where did he go?
"Given the situation, how did you manage to escape?" Yu Youhan asked.
Qiu Longgang shook his head, "I’m not sure, I just felt a blur before appearing at the mountain’s foot. Mr. Chen and that Daoist nun also disappeared..."
"Daoist nun?"
Yu Youhan raised her eyebrows, "What kind of Daoist nun?"
Qiu Longgang said, "She wore a Moon White Daoist robe, her appearance was unclear, her power very strong, proficient in Thunder Technique, and seemed to be a disciple of the Tianshu Pavilion..."
"Ling Ningzhi?"
Yu Youhan already had a guess in her mind.
She turned her gaze to the Sky Miasma Abyss covered by the Summoning Spirit Array, blue light shot from her eyes enveloping the hundred-mile blood marsh. Wandering souls were obliterated in the blue light, their ear-piercing wails made one’s scalp tingle!
A chaotic flood of memory fragments surged into her Sea of Consciousness!
Yu Youhan remained calm and quickly sifted through them under the support of her strong Divine Soul, discarding useless memories and keeping only the ones from today.
Wandering souls roamed the world and mostly lacked self-awareness, but could still record their surrounding information—
"Found it!"
A vague image appeared before her eyes.
She saw seven platforms explode, an overwhelming blood sea surged forth. Just as it was about to engulf Chen Mo and the others, a rift tore open the void, and a bright red silhouette flashed by.
Though it was just a blink, she recognized the person at once.
"Ji Hongxiu, it is indeed you!"
Yu Youhan took a step forward, and her figure vanished.
After confirming she had left, Shi Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
The Sky Miasma Abyss was filled with tens of thousands of wandering souls, and the massive influx of memories would have exploded anyone else’s Sea of Consciousness, but she refined it in an instant!
Such strength is truly terrifying!
"Lucky she didn’t notice me..."
Just then, an eerie voice echoed across the void, "The Netherworld Sect is the cause of this. If you do not give me an explanation, I won’t mind visiting Lingyan Mountain."
(O_o)?!
Shi Wenzhong shuddered, his legs a bit weak.
"It’s over!"
"Not only did I fail to retrieve the Erosion Light Hourglass, but also offended this demoness. Truly a stroke of bad luck for eight lifetimes..."
...
...
Not knowing how much time had passed, Chen Mo suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Where am I... Oh right, Fu Li!"
He saw Ji Lianxing about to suppress Fu Li, but Fu Li self-destructed, choosing mutual destruction!
Earlier, to counter the Blood Net, he had exhausted all his True Yuan, unable even to use the Five Elements Escape Talisman, and could only watch as the blood sea engulfed him!
"Am I dead or alive now?"
Chen Mo looked around, finding himself lying on a bed, completely naked, only covered with a thin quilt.
He vaguely remembered being entangled with a woman, her body fragrant and soft with a delicate touch, but couldn’t recall her face...
"Could it be a she-ghost? I’m not turning into Wei Kun, am I?" Chen Mo muttered, lifting the quilt to check.
"Who is Wei Kun?" A lazy female voice came.
"It means, a she-ghost Yue He... huh?!"
Chen Mo answered instinctively, but suddenly realized, and quickly looked up.
He saw a vivid red silhouette leaning against the window, holding a wine gourd, her willowy eyes shimmering with a dreamy light.
"Daoist Venerable?"
Chen Mo was momentarily stunned, then realized and clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Daoist Venerable, for the rescue."
Ji Hongxiu said indifferently, "No worries, just a passing act."
After Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo were together, their destinies also became blurred.
That day, she happened to predict Ling Ningzhi would be in danger but couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, so she followed the general direction.
If not for Chen Mo holding out so long, she might not have made it in time to save him...
Perhaps this is also part of fate?
"I’ve learned the gist of the situation from Qingxuan."
"The Ten Great Demons have been causing trouble for years and are still at large. How could any of them be easy to provoke? You, a mere Fifth Grade Martial Artist, dared to pursue the Blood Demon?"
Ji Hongxiu shook her head.
Chen Mo felt a bit fearful.
After eliminating the Tenth Sky Demon, he became somewhat complacent, not expecting Fu Li to set such a grand scheme, even colluding with Bai Lingchuan...
"Fu Li and Qin Wuxiang are siblings?"
"Thinking about it, the two are indeed similar, one joined the Devouring Ghost Sect, the other the Netherworld Sect, both betrayed their sects and stole Magical Treasures."
"However, Fu Li’s strength far exceeds and his character is more cunning and ruthless."
"Wait, Fu Li, in the pursuit of longevity, even abandoned his body, merging with the Erosion Light Hourglass... Would such a person willingly self-destruct and perish?"
Thinking of this, Chen Mo asked aloud, "Daoist Venerable, is the Blood Demon truly dead?"
"Tsk, that fellow was clever, sacrificing a soul and two spirits to create an illusion of mutual destruction, while hiding his remaining soul in the Magic Artifact, concealing his presence with Yin Yang Qi."
