Chapter 1235 Another Twist of Fate 3
Baili Yanque hadn't expected that Yue Kou would be the first to arrive, but he still said in a deep voice:
"Qianji's condition is not good, but it's under control for now. Next, we need to work together to help her remove the evil worms from her body. Get ready."
Upon hearing this, Yue Kou's ghostly aura surged forth, her eyes instantly turning dark red, and she said in a deep voice:
"Is it Qian Sidu or Qian Sujin? I warned her not to value these juniors who have climbed up the social ladder too much, but she just wouldn't listen, and in the end she still hurt herself."
Baili Yanque actually shared the same idea as Yuekou, but it was clearly not the time to pursue the matter, so he waved his hand and said:
"There will be plenty of time to deal with these people later; let's address the immediate issues first."
After saying that, he looked at Yunxi and said:
"This is the Moonflower Ghost King, a friend of Qianji. She will join forces with me to remove the evil insect in a moment, and you can assist her from the side."
Yunxi readily agreed and bowed respectfully.
"I am Ranxi, and I greet the Ghost King Yuekou."
After hearing Baili Yanque's introduction, Yuekou's dark red eyes finally turned back to black, and her attitude towards Yunxi became much calmer.
"So you are Ranxi. Since you entered the Ghost Realm, this place has been anything but ordinary."
Yunxi sensed that Yuekou was implying she was the source of trouble, but she pretended not to notice and replied seriously:
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lady Yuekou. I never expected that a simple training exercise would lead to the discovery of the evil immortal's conspiracy. As a member of the Immortal Realm, I naturally wouldn't stand idly by. It is my honor to be able to help Lady Qianji."
Yuekou raised the corners of her eyes slightly. She hated associating with people who were so meticulous in their speech and actions. Therefore, among the Ghost Kings of the same realm, she only befriended Qianji and disliked Baili Yanque the most.
Unfortunately, the situation is beyond her control. For the sake of her best friend's life, she has no choice but to cooperate with Baili Yanque and be polite to Ranxi, who helped Qianji.
"No need for pleasantries. Let's deal with the evil worms inside Qianji first. I've already instructed the steward to clear out the city lord's courtyard. We'll head over there now."
After thinking for a moment, Yunxi released Bingyi Baihu and his wife, as well as Qianxun, so that they could cooperate with Difei, who would return later, to clean up the mess.
"Don't worry, Master, we will take care of these trivial matters."
Bai Qiao wagged her tail in agreement and urged Yun Xi to go ahead and get busy.
Yunxi entered the courtyard where the city lord lived a step too late. When Baili Yanque saw Yunxi come in, he waved his sleeve to activate the isolation array of the courtyard and then released the ice coffin from his sleeve.
When Yuekou saw Qianji frozen in ice, her brows furrowed even more. Because of the existence of the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame, she dared not make a move rashly and turned her gaze to Baili Yanque.
Baili Yanque looked at Yunxi and said:
"Ranxi, you have more experience in removing evil insects. Tell me how to do it, and Yuekou and I will do it."
Yunxi hadn't expected Baili Guiwang to trust her so much, and she wasn't one to beat around the bush, so she spoke directly:
"My purple smoke will enter Lady Senhime's body and directly burn that evil worm, but this evil worm is already an adult and will definitely not leave obediently. It will definitely struggle in its death throes."
The dying evil insect will do its best to absorb Lady Senhime's soul power in order to survive longer. I will try to corner it, and then the two of you will need to join forces to sever the soul and completely separate the evil insect from Lady Senhime's body.
However, this will likely damage Lady Senhime's cultivation; at best, her cultivation will decline, and at worst, she will be trapped in a state of soul annihilation.
Upon hearing this, Yuekou immediately shook her head and said:
"No, that's too cruel to Senhime."
Baili Yanque said:
“Just do as Ranxi says. I believe Qianji is unwilling to become nourishment for the evil insects to grow stronger. Before, she would rather burn her divine soul and perish together with the evil insects than be driven by them. It’s just that her cultivation level has dropped, but she should be able to accept that.”
Yuekou argued forcefully, saying:
“Bai Li Yan Que, don’t try to downplay the issue. Young friend Ran Xi just said that Qian Ji might also suffer soul destruction. Do you know what that means?” Bai Li Yan Que rubbed his temples and said.
"Don't we still have each other? Once we get to that point, if we join forces to channel soul power into Qianji, we'll definitely be able to help her stabilize her condition."
This time, Yuekou did not object. After the three parties reached an agreement, Yunxi sent the eager Ziyan into the frozen Qianji's body. Two ghost kings were guarding her and were ready to sever her soul at any time.
The moment the Xuanlei Purple Flame entered her body, the frozen Qianji began to thaw, and the Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame also gradually withdrew its power in coordination with the purple smoke.
However, in less than five breaths, Yunxi's expression changed. She raised her hand and withdrew the purple smoke. The Taixu Heavenly Ice Flame once again covered the Thousand-Princess Ghost King, freezing him again.
The turn of events happened too quickly; the two Ghost Kings were too late to intervene. Yue Kou's Moon Golden Wheel was already pressed against Yun Xi's neck, and she gritted her teeth and asked:
"what are you doing?"
Baili Yanque remained calm and spoke up to stop him:
"Yuekou, don't be impulsive. Listen to what Ranxi has to say first. She wouldn't do this for no reason."
Yunxi extended two fingers and pushed the moon-gold wheel pressed against her neck outwards, saying calmly:
"That evil insect laid tens of thousands of eggs inside Lady Qianji's body. It wanted to use Lady Qianji's soul power to hatch these evil insects. If Ziyan burns all these eggs to ashes, I'm afraid Lady Qianji's soul will really be scattered."
Upon hearing this, Yue Kou gasped, flicked her fingers to retrieve her natal soul weapon, then extended her divine sense into the frozen body of Qian Ji. After three breaths, she withdrew it and said in a deep voice:
"Baili, you need to think of something quickly!"
Baili Yanque also just confirmed Yunxi's statement. He did not expect the evil insects to be so troublesome, even more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.
Now they only had one path before them: abandon Qianji and let her perish together with the evil worms and their eggs inside her, otherwise the consequences would be dire. The room fell into a deathly silence.
Clearly, Yuekou realized this as well, and her eyes slowly turned bloodshot as she teetered on the brink of losing control.
Yunxi's brain was also working at high speed. If Qianji was abandoned, the Ghost Realm would inevitably lose a high-level Ghost Immortal at the Ghost King Realm, which would probably attract the attention of the evil immortals and insectoids in the shadows.
This is not a good start. Perhaps this is a test by the evil immortals to see how these righteous immortals will act: sacrifice a ghost king for the sake of the entire ghost realm, or protect a ghost king and let the immortal realm bear the risk of the insectoid spread.
After a long pause, Yuekou spoke with difficulty:
"We'll take Qianji to see the Demon Emperor."
At almost the same time, Yunxi also spoke:
"Perhaps I have a way to help Lady Senhime out of her predicament."
Baili Yanque clearly heard Yunxi's words, stared intently at her, and asked anxiously:
"Young friend Ranxi, do you have any ideas?"
Yunxi coughed lightly and said:
"This method is risky, but it's worth a try. However, Lady Senhime will have to endure a thousand times more pain."
Yuekou gritted her teeth and said:
"Can you guarantee that both the evil insects and their eggs will be expelled from the body?"
"can."
"What method?"
"Poisoning."
Good night~
