Chapter 135 The Nightmare Energy of Ten Thousand Corpses Gathers at the Bottom of the Spring, The Master's Promise Unfolds a Treacherous Scheme [Part Two]

Having escaped from Quanxing Pavilion, the Nan siblings had only flown a short distance in their flying boat when a deafening roar came from behind them.

After boarding the flying boat, Nan Lianzhu kept his eyes fixed on that direction.

It was late at night, when the sky was at its darkest.

All she could see was a burst of red light in the pavilion, followed by the shattering and scattering of window frames, and moments later, guards from the secret vault rushed out.

"Why hasn't Guangbai come out?" Her heart tightened, and she looked around, but she couldn't find the figure she was looking forward to.

Nan Liansong, who also turned to look back, comforted him, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Guangbai told us to go first, he must be confident."

The worry on his face did not lessen. Nan Lianzhu remembered something and quickly took out a communication jade talisman. Just as he was about to send a message, he stopped.

"Wait a little while, in case the communication fluctuations are noticed, or the communication notifications affect his mind..." she murmured to herself.

Nan Liansong rubbed his temples, somewhat helplessly: 'The communication fluctuations mean there are no Nascent Soul cultivators on Moon Spring Island. As for a communication reminder, why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator be disturbed by that?'

He knew his sister was just worried and confused, so he didn't know what to say and could only try to distract her.

“The Quan family will probably issue a warrant for our arrest soon. We definitely can’t go back to [Lianyue Tower]. To avoid being trapped on the island, shall we head out to sea first?” He asked his sister for her opinion.

Nan Lianzhu agreed, saying, "That's a good idea. Guangbai is richer than us and wouldn't care about the small amount of money he'd be paying for a hotel. He'll definitely leave right away. We'll contact him again when we get to Waihai."

Blinking his eyes, Nan Liansong didn't want to say anything more.

They chose a direction with no flight path and flew straight there.

Because of Yin Yuan's obstruction, by the time the pursuers came out, their flying boats had already gone far away.

Therefore, the brother and sister encountered no obstacles on their journey, which was incredibly smooth.

Unable to contain himself, Nan Lianzhu sent a message as soon as he flew out of Moon Spring Island: "Guangbai, did you escape safely? We're coming to meet you."

Noticing this, Nan Liansong sighed inwardly and remained silent, only occasionally observing his sister's expression.

After a while, he noticed that his younger sister's expression first brightened, but then her mood became depressed.

Her little mouth was pouting so much, it looked like she could hang a medicine gourd on it.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What's the situation on Fellow Daoist Guangbai's side?"

"It's nothing, he left easily," Nan Lianzhu replied with her head down.

Then she looked up, a hint of grievance on her face, and pouted, "That's right, Guangbai said he had other things to do and told us to leave on our own, and that we would meet again in Cangnan if fate allowed."

"Gone? Good thing!" Nan Liansong's face lit up with joy, but he quickly pressed down again.

Feigning regret, he sighed and said, "That's a real pity. I haven't thanked him for saving me again yet. I'll definitely thank him properly when we meet again."

"Guangbai and Yanming are probably aliases; we don't even know their real names. Who knows when we'll meet again after this parting? It might be goodbye forever."

To be fair, the other person is a decent person, so it's perfectly acceptable to maintain a superficial relationship.

However, his sister's feelings were obvious, and if she really got involved in a romantic relationship, future troubles would be unavoidable, which was not what Nan Liansong wanted to see.

While they were pondering this, the brother and sister both sensed waves of magical energy coming from ahead, clearly indicating that a battle was taking place.

Nan Liansong slowed down the airship and lifted it slightly, allowing the two to gaze into the distance.

"Huh, what a coincidence, aren't those Beishan Ming, Langgan and the others?" Nan Lianzhu looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, they actually took a liking to this spectacle.

With a slight frown, Nan Liansong looked around.

He cautiously suggested, "Let's change course. We're wanted by the authorities too. Although the pursuers haven't arrived yet, it's hard to guarantee that these people won't come looking for trouble after they've dealt with them."

“Hmm, that’s fine too.” Nan Lianzhu agreed, but as soon as the flying boat turned around, she suddenly remembered something and quickly tugged at her brother’s sleeve, “Brother, wait a minute.”

"what happened?"

Nan Liansong stopped the flying boat, looking puzzled.

'Lang Gan should be the Gu Mother or even the Joyful Master. Guang Bai is extremely concerned about these two. Could it be that he's here to rescue them for some other reason? What is this? Is it the bond between fellow disciples?'

Unbeknownst to her, Nan Lianzhu had started thinking the same way as Hua Guigui.

However, the two of them were not from the same sect as the other two.

“Let’s go over there, but not too close.” She made up her mind, noticing her brother’s confused expression, and after a slight hesitation, she still said, “Guangbai might come!”

She then briefly explained her thoughts.

"It's Guangbai again! You're really obsessed!" Nan Liansong complained, exasperated.

Unable to resist his sister's pleas, he sighed.

In the end, they turned the airship around and flew towards the battle group.

At this moment, in the sea of ​​clouds above the battleground.

A magical artifact-grade flying ship is silently hidden here.

This was Tang Hao's new vehicle, which he had acquired from Mei Zhen after upgrading his equipment.

Or rather, this treasure was originally a shared spoil of war for both of them.

In the battle at the Dark Cave of Red Iron Peak, Sun Qing was killed by the two.

The high-level treasures were given to Mei Zhen, who received spirit stones as compensation and a promise to continue exploring for treasures.

Yao Guang, who had been lying on the ship's side looking down, suddenly turned his head and said, "Young Master, a fight has broken out. When are we going to help them?"

"No rush. The fight has just begun. They are not weak. They can overwhelm the pursuers in numbers, but not in strength."

Tang Hao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them upon hearing this and smiled as he explained his plan: "We can reappear when the time is right."

"Young master is wise!" the eight women exclaimed in unison, laughing.

Surrounded by a group of beautiful women, Tang Hao felt very uncomfortable. Just as he was about to close his eyes again, he suddenly looked out of the boat with a change in expression.

Just then, a shadowy figure silently passed through the sea of ​​clouds and stopped outside the protective barrier.

He quickly made a hand seal and let the other party in.

"Sister Yin Yuan?"

"My sister is back."

The eight women immediately called out "Sisters" and were about to surround him, but were suddenly stopped by the young master's shout: "Don't go over there!"

They stopped abruptly and turned back to look, puzzled.

Tang Hao also got up and quickly went over.

Noticing his approach, Yin Yuan slowly raised his head, which had been hanging low: "Young Master, save me!"

Black vortexes flashed in the girl's eyes from time to time.

Black lines crawled across the exposed skin.

A faint black aura emanated from its body.

He looked eerie and sinister.

"What's going on?" Tang Hao frowned upon seeing this.

Yin Yuan's body trembled slightly, as if he were enduring intense pain.

"I abandoned my body, and as soon as I left Quanxing Pavilion, a black current surged toward me. I was only able to get rid of it after I left the cemetery."

Her voice trembled as well: "If it weren't for the fact that I have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape."

'Black aura?' Tang Hao was taken aback and muttered, 'Could it be the so-called nightmare energy?'

After a slight hesitation, he reached out and touched the black mist emanating from Yin Yuan's body.

"Young master, you mustn't!" the eight women exclaimed, trying to stop him.

Yin Yuan also dragged himself back and said, "This energy is difficult to deal with, young master, please do not take the risk!"

"It's alright, this nightmare energy shouldn't have much of an effect on those with a physical body," Tang Hao reassured her, and the next moment his fingers touched the swirling black energy.

There are ads to watch

Knowing that special aura and energy could trigger a cheat ability, he wasn't surprised.

He pretended to close his eyes, acting as if checking his senses, but secretly selected "Watch Now".

The scene slowly unfolds, revealing the outline of the entire Quan family cemetery. Then the camera slowly zooms in, and Tang Hao sees two streams of black energy within it.

A stream flowed along the water into the secret vault: 'This must be the special water-attribute energy that nurtures the treasure.'

'So, this other one is the Nightmare Qi?' His gaze fell on the springs in the lake, from which wisps of black qi were escaping.

The black aura permeated the entire Quan family cemetery, with only a few buildings within the grounds being off-limits to it.

The scene suddenly shifts, following a wisp of black smoke as it plunges into the spring.

Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a female corpse bound in the lake water, her eyes wide open.

The female corpse had disheveled hair and a lifelike face, with wisps of black energy emerging from her seven orifices.

The scene before him zoomed out again, and the view at the bottom of the lake came into view.

Corpses, men, women, and children, numbering in the thousands, lay bound in the tranquil lake.

Their eyes were all wide open, as if they had died with their eyes open in disbelief.

The video abruptly ended there, and Tang Hao broke out in a cold sweat: 'What is the Quan family up to? This is too terrifying! Does the [Inviting Moon Sect] know about this?'

He shook his head, opened his eyes, and was immediately met with a pair of concerned eyes.

"I'm fine." He withdrew his hand, pinched his chin, and glanced at the system record. This thing was indeed [Nightmare Aura].

Putting aside the "claim reward" for now is not the right time or place.

He looked thoughtful: 'How do I remove the Nightmare Aura? With the Purification Spell?'

After glancing at Yin Yuan's condition, he immediately shook his head.

In the beginning, when the Nightmare Qi first entered the body, it should be easy to deal with. Even if one spell doesn't work, two Cleansing Techniques should be enough.

However, now that the Nightmare Qi is deeply entangled with the Hidden Yuan Soul, it will probably not be easy to remove it without harming her.

"Hehe, do you want to save your maid?"

A somewhat familiar, slightly clear and youthful female voice rang out.

The location of the message was actually on the airship!

Tang Hao was startled, and a three-colored protective shield suddenly rose up around him as he cautiously looked in the direction of the sound.

A petite and exquisite figure with a smug smile on her face came into view.

"A witch?" His pupils contracted, and a white, glassy light immediately shone in his hand.

The eight women had already shielded him in the middle the moment the sound rang out.

At this moment, they all drew their weapons, waiting for the young master's order to surround and kill the female demon who had broken into the flying ship.

The one who arrived was none other than Hua Guigui, who had been following them all along.

Her lips twitched slightly as she glanced warily at the spiritual light in Tang Hao's hand.

He retorted with dissatisfaction, "What witch? I am Hua Guigui!"

"Do you have a way to remove the [Nightmare Aura]?" Tang Hao didn't care whether she was called Hua Hua or Gui Gui. "What are the conditions?"

'The [Mystic Tortoise Concealment Technique] has not issued any warning, which means this woman has no intention of killing me, or poses no threat to my safety. Let's hear what she's planning.'

Despite this thought, he did not let his guard down in the slightest.

"Of course, I'll make a deal with you." Hua Guigui clapped her hands, and the ten pairs of eyes opposite her immediately locked onto her with a cold glint.

Even Yin Yuan endured the pain, appearing ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing this, she quickly waved her hand, but stopped halfway through, afraid of arousing the other person's sensitivity and causing a fight to break out at the slightest provocation.

'How pathetic I am! A great cultivator, yet I am so cautious and timid when facing a group of juniors!' Hua Guigui sighed.

Her gaze fell to the side, and she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Jingchen Boy, why aren't you showing yourself? What are you hiding for!"

'The Cleansing Child?'

Upon hearing the name, Tang Hao's eyes flashed, and he followed her gaze.

It was empty, but the other person should be there.

A thought flashed through his mind, and the Water-Fire Lotus Sensing Technique instantly activated: 'Nothing? It seems there's still a significant difference between a transformed spiritual treasure and a true human.'

'Huh? Why can't I sense the witch's primordial yin energy?' His senses inadvertently swept over the Flower Ghost and he immediately noticed something amiss.

However, this was not the time to investigate. Tang Hao had already noticed that another figure had appeared beside the other party.

Clad in a white robe, with his silver hair tied in a topknot, and possessing rosy lips and white teeth, the young Taoist boy was none other than Jingchen Tongzi.

'One has red hair and a red dress, the other has silver hair and a white robe. The two of them standing together look like a perfect couple, strangely well-matched.' His expression was somewhat strange.

Noticing his expression, Jingchen Tongzi misunderstood.

A sudden chill ran down her spine: 'Could he have already verified my identity with the True Lord? What did the True Lord say, that he had promised me to him?'

He felt uneasy and inferior in front of Tang Hao, and his words became hesitant and stammering.

"Fellow Daoist Tang Hao, we meet again! Hahaha, what a coincidence!"

Raising an eyebrow, Tang Hao signaled the nine women to lower their guard. With Jingchen Tongzi present, Hua Guigui would at least not dare to make a move easily, let alone anything else.

He greeted her in kind, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jingchen, it's been a few days, but you still look as dashing as ever."

"With you, a fellow disciple, here, you can rest assured now, right?" Hua Guigui interrupted the two's pleasantries.

Tang Hao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. When Jingchen Tongzi felt a little uncomfortable, his gaze finally settled on the witch.

"Tell me, how much blood do you want me to give you?" He already knew he was easy prey in the eyes of blood cultivators, and guessed that was about it.

Upon hearing this, Hua Guigui's eyes lit up.

Tang Hao had just chuckled when she shook her head and said, "I do like your blood, but this time, what I want... is something else."

Something else?

He didn't speak, but gestured for the other person to continue.

"Give me a few second-tier [Blood Shark Pearls], and I'll tell you how to remove the [Nightmare Qi], how about it?" Hua Guigui asked expectantly.

'Following me? But judging from the looks of it, they only know I stole the secret vault; they clearly haven't seen the details.' His mind raced, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many? Heh, there are only a few second-tier [Blood Shark Pearls] in total, and you think you can buy them all?" Tang Hao sneered. "You tell me your price first, and I'll see what it's worth."

"no!"

Hua Guigui immediately jumped up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and refused, "Let's agree on a price first and give me the [Blood Shark Pearl], otherwise you can forget about getting it."

"Oh?"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Tang Hao studied her expression and suddenly smiled.

"You're so eager to get your hands on the Blood Shark Pearl, yet you stubbornly refuse to tell me the method. Could it be that this method..."

He chuckled softly: "Related to the [Blood Shark Pearl]?"

Hua Guigui's expression froze upon hearing this, and she looked at him incredulously.

Jingchen Boy looked away, unable to bear to look directly at him.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Tang Hao smiled and was about to continue bargaining.

“Young Master, they can’t hold on any longer,” Yao Guang suddenly interjected.

"So useless?"

Slightly surprised, Tang Hao said to Hua Guigui, "I have some things to take care of here first, we can discuss the price later."

He looked at Yin Yuan, but before he could speak, Yin Yuan said, "I can still hold on, but your business is more important, young master."

"I'm sorry for you!"

Tang Hao controlled the flying boat to circle around and rushed towards the battle.

The eight women shouted in unison, "Master Yanming has arrived!"

The arrogant Yanming is back online.
