Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

Chapter 537: Chapter 296: Fire Cloud Skiff Crosses the Yellow Springs (Part 2)

Bai Mo could feel that as they delved deeper into the Yellow Springs, the connection at his fingertip with Fox Mountain was gradually weakening!

The four foxes widened their eyes, watching as one Ghost Messenger after another seemed frenzied, scrambling to fly out of the Yellow Springs, brushing past them!

Swish...

The Fire Cloud suddenly halted.

Bai Mo widened his eyes and looked ahead to see that the Yellow Springs Road had actually broken off.

Ahead lay a bottomless abyssal pit, severing the Yellow Springs Road!

Occasionally, some Ghost Messengers howled, recklessly trying to fly across the abyss, aiming for the other side, but it was as if the abyss possessed an endless suction, pulling them down and drawing them in!

Bai Mo looked at the purple bellflowers in Little Flower Arm’s embrace... the bellflowers were still quiet, having not detected any contamination.

He then looked towards the abyss, his pupils focusing, his Divine Sense extending out, observing with utmost seriousness.

From this abyss, he saw a stench soaring to the skies!

Recalling previous information, he suddenly realized that the Yellow Springs Road had broken, and the souls hooked by the Ghost Messengers were all thrown into this Broken Road Abyss!

Souls of sinners from thousands of years ago, Immortal Beast Souls, Insect Souls, Immortal Grass Souls, all had been cast into this Abyss!

In this endless abyss, they extinguished their soul flames, leaving behind lingering grievances, which fermented over millions of years, brewing this foul stench that soared to the skies!

"Who broke the Yellow Springs Road?

"And what lies on the other side of the abyss?"

He looked down and saw scattered boots and a Silver Crown at the edge of the cliff, a bloodied hand seal in a dying struggle on the cliff wall, a broken halberd and sword embedded in the cliff, a rotting wheel hanging from the edge, and protruding rocks clutching broken finger bones...

In his heart, he understood that in the past, an Immortal tried to fly over this abyss but was ultimately unsuccessful, falling into this bottomless abyss.

He looked down at his disciples.

"The stench fermented from these grievances doesn’t assault the nose, but overwhelms our hearts.

"Soon, I will take you flying across.

"Remember, you must be brave!

"Above this abyss, courage will lift you upwards, but fear is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Do not harbor a trace of fear."

The few foxes, eyes wide, looked at each other, jaws hanging open, faces filled with fear!

"Whimper?"

"Howl?"

They had never been to this abyss and did not know if they would be afraid?

Or rather, they were very afraid of holding back their master!

"It’s okay, let’s go."

In the next moment, the Five-Colored Fire Cloud emitted a dazzling azure light, radiating a brilliant glow, carrying the master and apprentices across the abyss, into the soaring stench, into the boundless yellow sand, and towards the other side of the abyss!

...

In the night sky, countless Ghost Messengers descended!

It was like a gloomy cloud pressing down on the West State, pressing down on the brightly lit skyscrapers.

"Howl..."

"Hungry..."

"Hahaha..."

The ghostly roars echoed, carried by the wind into the ears of Professor Zhang and others.

Professor Zhang looked up, even managing to see the claws and faces of the Ghost Messengers!

"They can differentiate Life Charts.

"They prefer the Life Souls of princes and dukes, and also like the souls of wealthy people.

"It’s just right."

Professor Zhang chuckled carelessly.

"Let me die first.

"Let me help the West State Boss, buy some time.

"Hopefully, in hooking my soul, they’ll be slightly delayed, and fewer ordinary people will be harmed by them."

The other Immortal Technique Committee members, facing imminent death, felt no fear.

They all smiled and discussed.

"What’s behind that door, do you think?

"Why, once the Immortals enter, they never come out?

"Can the West State Boss come back?"

"I don’t quite understand, what did he go in for exactly?"

"Perhaps, to find a way to deal with the Ghost Messengers?"

Su Yaoyao also lifted her head, looking at the Ghost Messengers pressing down from the sky, her face full of determination!

She suddenly remembered something, hurriedly taking out her phone, opening the chat interface, wanting to send a message to Bai Mo again.

She typed two words, [Goodbye]

Quickly deleted them.

She typed four words, [I miss you]

Then quickly deleted them again.

She typed five words, [Take care of yourself]

And quickly deleted them again.

She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

What should the last words be?

Ah, that’s right!

[Submit your resignation to the Immortal Committee quickly, donate all the money, and stay away from wealth]

[Quickly go down to the basement, so the Ghost Messengers won’t find you so quickly]

[Hide a bit longer, maybe you can be saved!]

These words, without hesitation, were sent out.

[Remember to think of me]

The last four words lingered in the input box, she glanced at them several times... and finally deleted them without sending them out.

She put away her phone.

Lifted her head again, standing on the highest Celestial Platform of the West State, looking at the vast mass of Ghost Messengers descending from the sky.

...

Within the Yellow Springs, above the abyss.

"Whimper!"

"Howl!"

The four foxes sobbed, tears streaming down as they clung to their master’s legs.

They were still scared!

Their fear felt like four mountains, suddenly weighing the Fire Cloud downward a notch!

"Ah..."

"Howl..."

"I’m wronged..."

"Why not stay..."

Ghostly cries and howls immediately sounded!

Ghostly black hands crawled over!

But Bai Mo smirked, the Five-Colored Fire Cloud at his feet blazing with azure light, propelling the cloud upwards, turning the reaching ghostly hands into flying ash!

"Don’t be afraid.

"It’s okay to be afraid.

"Master’s courage can bear your fear."

The Five-Colored Fire Cloud was like a small boat, soaring across the abyss in the blazing azure light, flying higher and further!

...

On the rooftop of Golden Emperor Mansion, the white-haired youth and his dozen companions laughed aloud watching the massive wave of Ghost Messengers approaching.

"Hahaha, no problem, no problem!

"Below us, the auction house is filled with tycoons, all exuding wealth!
