【Due to the barrage of black lightning, a massive pit with a diameter of over ten thousand miles appeared below.】
【Even though the lightning had disappeared, faint lightning still flickered intermittently within the pit.】
【The ghost energy in this place had completely dissipated.】
【In its place was an extremely violent aura, carrying an irresistible pressure.】
【Ye Yu strode directly into it and eventually found the barely breathing Xiao Jibo at the center.】
【At this moment, his soul-body was almost transparent, covered in cracks like a fragile piece of porcelain about to shatter.】
【Thin wisps of faint ghost energy drifted out from the cracks.】
【Without a doubt, his time was running out; soon he would completely dissipate into nothingness.】
【Such a miserable sight made Ye Yu’s expression grow solemn.】
【He glanced back upward once again.】
【Who exactly was that ghostly immortal woman? She had nearly killed Xiao Jibo with one strike, said nothing, and then immediately fell asleep.】
【All of this was truly baffling.】
【Just then,】
【Xiao Jibo suddenly spoke, weakly saying, “Your helper is truly formidable.”】
【“I thought that breaking through two major realms in several decades made me the chosen of the Nether Realm, but it seems not.”】
【Ye Yu turned back, asking casually, “Do you know this woman?”】
【Xiao Jibo shook his head with all his might.】
【“I have never heard of such a figure in the Nether Realm, but it’s all over now.”】
【“Still, I want to know where exactly you got the Divine Control Mind Technique?”】
【“Did those oldest fellows in Dingling City not keep their promise?”】
【Ye Yu spoke softly, “I’ll say it again — you dared to frame me, so I dared to admit it. You all said I obtained the Divine Control Mind Technique; now you ask where I got it? Isn’t that laughable?”】
【Xiao Jibo couldn’t help but laugh.】
【“Alright, King of ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) Balancing the Books, right? Rare indeed, I still remember that title. Since you don’t want to say, forget it.”】
【“But it’s a pity, I won’t get to see the sequel of Kuhan City’s storm.”】
【“Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang, can’t you update faster?”】
【No sooner had he spoken,】
【Xiao Jibo’s soul-body completely shattered and vanished on the spot.】
【Only then did Ye Yu suddenly recall,】
【According to Jiao Hekang’s memory,】
【Xiao Jibo was actually his book friend.】
【“Ugh, damn it! If you’d said you were my book friend earlier, I might have saved you!”】
【“Look at this mess you’ve made!”】
【“Anyway, I’m not blaming myself — it was that woman who struck the fatal blow.”】
【“Of course, I hope all my book friends live long, achieve their wishes, enjoy family happiness, and a blissful life...”】
【“Ahem, a bit off-topic.”】
【But honestly, some things must be said in advance, maybe results would differ.】
【Ye Yu withdrew his gaze and dashed away from the huge pit.】
【At age 92, Ye Yu successfully squeezed into the mid Heaven Ghost Realm.】
【Meanwhile, the woman in palace robes inside the Ye family of Kuhan City was still deeply asleep.】
【Honestly, Ye Yu had never seen such a sleepy ghost immortal before.】
【“Big sister, you’re a ghost — how can you sleep?”】
【“This is totally unscientific.”】
【Of course, Ye Yu wasn’t against her sleeping,】
【but a man’s thirst for knowledge was infinite.】
【He really wanted to know why this palace-robed woman helped him.】
【To uncover this answer,】
【Ye Yu tried many ways to wake her, but all failed.】
【In the end, he could only leave her be.】
【Apart from coming to check on her every three days, she was basically left to roam free-range.】
【“If you like sleeping, then sleep all you want.”】
【“Let’s see how long you can sleep.”】
【“If not, I’ll just spend a thousand years with you.”】
【“Just like continuing a peaceful time with wife Ying Naiyan.”】
【It’s worth mentioning:】
【Since killing Xiao Jibo, Ye Yu and Ying Naiyan had returned to their previous state.】
【The two quietly stayed together, even without speaking.】
【Just sensing each other’s presence was enough to feel the tranquility of time.】
【Ye Yu was quite satisfied with this simple life.】
【Compared to the chaos caused by Bai Xichu and Bai Miaoling, finally having a quiet wife was a relief.】
【Until now, Ying Naiyan’s value steadily climbed.】
【Of course, the only shortcoming was her cultivation speed — too slow.】
【Maybe time had simply passed too long.】
【His “King of Balancing the Books” popularity had completely dropped.】
【Now, in the Nether Realm, no one was framing or falsely accusing him.】
【How could that be?】
【If no one frames, how do I improve?】
【No, I have to keep causing trouble!】
【Otherwise, I’ll be lost!】
【So Ye Yu left Kuhan City alone,】
【preparing to start his troublemaking journey.】
【As for Ying Naiyan, she was left behind at the Ye residence.】
【His wife was quite unhappy about this.】
【But it was unavoidable — for this outing, Ye Yu had crafted a perfect plan.】
【And he had to act alone.】
【Taking Ying Naiyan along would only endanger her.】
【Hence the arrangement.】
【Kuhan City lay at the eastern edge of the Nether Realm.】
【Adhering to the principle of “better kill acquaintances than strangers,”】
【Ye Yu’s first stop was the ghost sect Fuliu Pavilion in the western Nether Realm.】
【Without any preamble, he shattered their sect’s protective formation.】
【And uprooted their treasure pavilion, dragging it away in front of everyone.】
【He even left a message: “I am Ye Yu of Langlang City in the southern Nether Realm. If you don’t agree, feel free to come find me!”】
【Upon hearing this, the ghosts of Fuliu Pavilion were furious and rampaged on the spot, all wanting to rush forward to kill Ye Yu.】
【But all were blocked by a mass of black ghost flames.】
【They could only watch helplessly as Ye Yu dragged the treasure pavilion away.】
【The sect master was so angry he bit through his own back molars!】
【“Too much, seriously too much!”】
【If this spreads, Fuliu Pavilion would definitely become a laughingstock throughout the Nether Realm.】
【But what exactly was Langlang City in the southern Nether Realm?】
【Why did such a ghost come here and just grab their treasure pavilion?】
【Completely unreasonable.】
【Damn it!】
【Wait — could it be this kid can’t make it in the eastern Nether Realm and came here to pick on the weak?】
【Thinking this, the sect master’s face darkened further.】
【He was really pissed off!】
