Chapter 1177: Chapter 1176: Setting a Wolf to Catch a Tiger
On the first day, Yueyou Ancestor was burned by the Phoenix Divine Fire, suffering significant injuries.
On the second day, Yueyou Ancestor, though appearing strong, attempted several escapes but all ended in failure.
On the third day, Yueyou Ancestor attempted to severely injure Si Lingxi and take Lu Zheng and others away, but it ended in disaster and he was injured even further.
As a result, what originally could have been endured for a few more days was no longer sustainable by the third day.
Of course, when Yueyou Ancestor failed to escape on the first day, his fate was already sealed; the rest was just a matter of time.
"Si Lingxi!" Yueyou Ancestor’s voice was filled with resentment.
"Yu You Old Ghost, you’re a hero in your own right, undefeated in the Netherworld for a thousand years. Don’t act like a child," Si Lingxi said lightly.
Yueyou Ancestor let out a sinister laugh, "You’re strong; I can’t hurt you. But I want to see if your two friends can withstand the immeasurable ghost tide of the Netherworld!"
"Hmm?"
Si Lingxi raised an eyebrow, noticing a transparent pearl the size of a fist rising from the top of Yueyou Ancestor’s head.
It was the vessel for Yueyou Ancestor’s Divine Soul, never before seen by others.
"Sacrifice my Divine Soul! Communicate with the Netherworld!"
The Divine Soul Spirit Pearl cracked, and Yueyou Ancestor sacrificed his own Divine Soul, establishing a vague connection with the Netherworld.
Of course, this connection could only be used for Divine Soul Transmission, not for escape back.
Then, Yueyou Ancestor’s eyes sharpened, and he fiercely sent a message into the Netherworld, "The two ultimate treasures of the Profound Yin Divine Monarch are..."
"Chirp!"
A Phoenix Cry interrupted Yueyou Ancestor’s casting, and Si Lingxi’s large hand descended, snatching away Yueyou Ancestor’s Divine Soul Spirit Pearl, and retracting the rest of Yueyou Ancestor’s words.
Then, Si Lingxi’s eyes moved, and amazingly, she used magical power to send a message back along Yueyou Ancestor’s Divine Soul wave.
"...Pingdong Dao Demon Cave Secret Realm!"
It was completely Yueyou Ancestor’s voice, completely his tone.
Exactly the same, vivid and lifelike.
Then, the Phoenix Divine Fire suddenly intensified, distorting space once again, cutting off Yueyou Ancestor’s Divine Soul Transmission.
Yueyou Ancestor’s eyes were about to burst, "Si Lingxi! You’re also the Phoenix Palace Master! How can you be so shameless?"
Si Lingxi smiled slightly, "What is face? Can you eat it?"
Yueyou Ancestor: ???
"Compared to possible future troubles, a little loss of face doesn’t matter, especially since no one knows, right?" Si Lingxi smiled as she looked at Yueyou Ancestor, as if looking at a dead person.
"Yu You Old Ghost, your Divine Soul Spirit Pearl is shattered, prepare to die."
Si Lingxi said lightly, and then a Jade Token flashed in her hand, and it appeared above Yueyou Ancestor’s head.
In the next instant, the gold-edged phoenix on the Jade Token flashed, and a magnificent phoenix shining with golden-red flames appeared behind Yueyou Ancestor, spreading its wings and enveloping him.
"Boom!"
The Phoenix Divine Fire erupted explosively.
...
"The flames have dispersed!"
"Can’t sense anything."
"Should we go in?"
"Be cautious!"
A few experts from the Anomaly Suppression Bureau and the military cautiously entered the forest.
Then they saw peach trees standing gracefully, green grass swaying gently, the warm wind blowing softly, and wildflowers dancing in the breeze.
If it wasn’t for the entire peach grove being as silent as a grave, without even an insect, they would suspect they were hallucinating.
"Even the scene was cleaned up."
"These flowers, grasses, and trees are quite new, clearly just artificially induced."
"The flames are extremely tyrannical, yet there’s such an exquisite wood attribute cultivation technique at play. I wonder which Great Power’s handiwork this is."
"People should have already left, however, why is there a Peach Blossom Temple here?"
The experts looked at each other, then saw the Peach Blossom Temple opposite had already opened its doors, with one temple priest cleaning and another counting incense offerings, seemingly preparing to open for business.
Everyone, "..."
...
On the other side, in the Netherworld.
Yueyou Ancestor’s Divine Soul Transmission spread ten thousand miles across the Netherworld.
But only Ghost Kings with over a thousand years of Dao Practice could hear this transmission.
"Divine Soul Transmission?"
"A top master, who is it?"
"Not very clear, but... the two ultimate treasures of the Profound Yin Divine Monarch have appeared in the world?"
"After the Profound Yin Divine Monarch ascended not long ago, the disciple who inherited his two ultimate treasures died suddenly, and those treasures went missing."
"I thought whoever obtained them would hide them cautiously. Turns out they were discovered."
"Tsk tsk, I bet the Ghost Kings from the Profound Yin Mountain lineage won’t sit still."
"Haha, there’s going to be a good show."
"But why would this person broadcast it to the world? Could it be that he couldn’t beat the one who got the treasures?"
"Idiot, didn’t you hear the transmission? These two treasures are in the mortal world’s Demon Cave!"
"Hiss—"
"Oh yes, the mortal world, Demon Cave, neither the Court and the Abnormal People in the mortal world, nor those demon-like beings, are easy to deal with."
"But we can’t let those Netherworld’s Ultimate Treasures be refined by demons, right?"
"It depends on whether any big figures will take action."
"Should we go muddy the waters?"
"Fish in troubled waters for what? Think about it, if a group of ghosts enters the mortal world, won’t there be those monks and Daoists too? I don’t want to grab treasures and end up being liberated by a group of monks."
"But the Profound Yin Mountain lineage will certainly go. Snatching treasures from a demon is better than snatching them from a Netherworld big shot or a mortal world sect."
...
"This voice... is it Yueyou Ancestor?"
"Divine Soul Transmission with Yang Qi, he went to the mortal world?"
"His lifespan is almost over; he probably went to the mortal world to seek a chance."
"Seems like he found it, unfortunately, he can’t claim it."
"If he obtained the two ultimate treasures of the Profound Yin Divine Monarch, who knows, whether it would lead to ascension is another matter, but it might extend his life."
"How did these two treasures end up in the Demon Cave Secret Realm?"
"Quite normal, the Little Ghost who got those treasures wouldn’t dare cultivate in the Netherworld. Even a slight leak of aura is a death sentence, better to hide in the mortal world, maybe it’s safer."
"But still couldn’t escape, ran into a craftier and more venomous demon."
"But isn’t this demon too powerful, able to kill Yueyou Ancestor?"
"Indeed, considering even in the entire Netherworld, Yueyou Ancestor is a notable character!"
"Not necessarily. A few years ago, Yueyou Ancestor went to the mortal world to extend his life and ended up severely injured by Daoists from Chunyang Palace and the Celestial Escape Sect, forced back to the Netherworld, probably still gravely injured.
Plus, his lifespan is nearing its end. If he went to the mortal world again and got trapped in the Demon Cave Secret Realm’s natural array, it wouldn’t be surprising to be killed by a demon not as strong as him; it may just be the opponent wasn’t particularly strong."
"Unless..."
"Unless that demon is an Upper Realm Celestial Demon True Spirit descendent."
"Hmph, so what if it’s an Upper Realm Celestial Demon, taking treasures of my Netherworld, it deserves to die!"
