Jie Hui could only watch helplessly as the ghost king raised its big foot and kicked toward his chest.
At that mont, he felt imnse regret.
Why had he practiced the evil Buddha technique?
If he had practiced orthodox Buddhist teachings, it might have had so restraining effect on ghosts.
Perhaps he could have held on for a bit longer.
Now, he was left powerless and awaiting his doom.
Chaotic thoughts flashed through Jie Hui's mind.
Bang!
The ghost king's kick landed squarely on Jie Hui's chest.
His body was sent flying backward as if struck by a giant beast.
At the sa ti, he spat out a large amount of fresh blood, staining the air crimson.
The ghost king's kick didn't take Jie Hui's life; it only left him severely injured.
Unerringly, Jie Hui landed right at Song Wen's feet.
He tilted his head up and saw Song Wen looking down at him from a height, gazing at him intently.
It was a face that looked nothing like a living person's!
Skin that was shriveled and black!
Fangs protruding with a dark, eerie glow!
Between his mouth and nose, a swirling aura of corpse energy could be seen.
At that mont, Song Wen's appearance was terrifying beyond belief.
"Master, didn't you just say you would give a quick end? To exorcise the demons?"
"I wonder how you plan to exorcise , this corpse demon?"
"Kekeke..."
Song Wen's gray eyes fixed on Jie Hui, sending chills down his spine.
With sharp, bony claws, he aid to stab down at Jie Hui's head.
"Wait, benefactor..."
In the midst of Jie Hui's terrified gaze, the claws stopped just half an inch from his eyes.
"Oh? Does the master have any last words? Hurry up and say them. Once you're done, this demon will send you to the western paradise to et the Buddha."
Song Wen's voice was like the wailing of hell's demons, sharp and piercing, making one tremble in fear.
Jie Hui hurriedly replied.
"Everyone is equal; there are no demons in this world, just people who are foolish and blinded by appearances. The Buddha has a thousand forms; benefactor, you are definitely not a demon, but a manifestation of the Buddha exorcising demons in this world."
Upon hearing this, Song Wen couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought that Jie Hui had so vital information worth a life.
He never expected that even on the brink of death, Jie Hui would still be trying to outsmart
him.
It was utterly absurd, wasting precious ti.
In an instant, the claws pierced through Jie Hui's skull.
Jie Hui breathed his last.
Song Wen activated the Soul Searching Technique to delve into Jie Hui's mories.
Both Song Wen and Jie Hui were at the peak level of the Foundation Establishnt stage.
However, Song Wen's spiritual consciousness was slightly stronger.
Upon executing the Soul Searching Technique, he found very few mories.
Only scattered fragnts from the monts leading up to Jie Hui's death.
From Jie Hui's mories, Song Wen learned that when they were in the cave where the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid palace was located, Jie Hui and his companions had chased after Rong Jingyun along the cliff edges of the cave, descending hundreds of miles.
Upon reaching the depths of the cliff, a chilling aura began to creep in.
At the end of the cliff, a bottomless cold pool appeared before them.
A bone-chilling cold emanated from the pool.
Fatigued from fleeing, Rong Jingyun didn't hesitate and plunged into the cold water.
The water in the deep pool was icy to the bone.
That frigid aura penetrated to the marrow, seemingly capable of freezing a person's very soul.
Upon entering the pool, Rong Jingyun felt her limbs stiffen.
However, with a deadly demon monk behind her, she had no way to retreat and could only
continue diving deeper.
The deeper she went, the stronger the cold beca.
Even with spiritual power protecting her, many places on Rong Jingyun's body began to crystallize with tiny ice shards, causing her flesh to freeze and die.
As she continued to dive deeper, the pool water swept past her, taking with it pieces of rotting
flesh, revealing the frozen blood and flesh beneath.
Seeing that Rong Jingyun was about to succumb to the extre cold of the cold pool, she grabbed the fire cauldron behind her with one hand.
A wisp of faint blue fla overflowed from the cauldron, flowing along her arm and into her
flesh.
The dual tornt of ice and fire plunged Rong Jingyun into imnse pain.
Yet, under the adjustnt of her inner spiritual power, the ice and fire reached a delicate
balance.
With the help of the Earth Core Refining Fla, Rong Jingyun barely resisted the encroaching
cold.
She continued to dive toward the depths of the cold pool.
Fortunately, the cold pool wasn't very deep, only about ten ters.
At the bottom of the cold pool was a horizontal passage. After moving forward a few ters
along the passage, it began to slope upward.
Rong Jingyun, who was already dazed from the freezing, felt a surge of energy and quickly
ascended.
anwhile, for Jie Hui and the other two.
When they reached the upper part of the cold pool, their expressions inexplicably changed to
one of excitent.
The Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch thrives in dark, sunless, and damp places.
This location perfectly t both of those conditions.
Thus, it was highly likely that the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch could grow here.
The three of them quickly spread out to search around the cold pool.
The entire bottom of the cliff wasn't large, only occupying a small area, with the cold pool
taking up half of it.
In just a breath or two, the three of them had searched the vicinity of the cold pool.
They found no trace of the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch.
After a brief discussion, they decided to dive into the cold pool to search for any other exits.
Perhaps at the other exits of the deep pool, they might find traces of the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch.
Since Rong Jingyun was ahead scouting for them, even if there were dangers, she would bear
the brunt, giving them ample ti to react.
If there were no other exits in the cold pool, they could also kill Rong Jingyun and seize the
Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid in her hands.
Jie Se's robe was a top-tier defensive spiritual artifact, and it helped to release Buddha light,
shielding them from the cold temperatures of the pool.
The three followed Rong Jingyun and descended to the bottom of the deep pool's horizontal
passage.
After diving down, the underwater passage began to slope upward.
...
Ahead, Rong Jingyun saw a glimr of hope for escape and felt invigorated.
The three monks behind her were similarly stirred; the mouth of the pool above them likely
had the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch.
"Whoa."
Rong Jingyun was the first to break through the water's surface.
With a wave of her hand, a fireball the size of a basin suddenly shot up into the air.
After ascending several hundred ters, the fireball collided with the rocky ceiling of the
cave.
The fireball exploded, turning into countless sparks of light that scattered everywhere.
With the aid of the firelight, Rong Jingyun finally saw her surroundings clearly.
This was an underground cavern, about several dozen ters in size.
Within the cave, bizarre rock formations jutted out.
There were large stone stalactites hanging from the ceiling.
There were stone drapes, stone pillars, and stalagmites standing on the ground.
Each formation was unique and oddly shaped.
A subterranean river wound its way through the cavern.
Rong Jingyun looked around but found no exit in this cavern.
However, at the end of the river was a subrged passage leading out of the cave.
Rong Jingyun swiftly made her way toward the dark passage flowing out of the river.
"Splash, splash, splash."
Jie Hui and the other two erged from the deep pool.
At that mont, darkness once again enveloped the cavern.
Yet, they were able to accurately locate Rong Jingyun's position, relying on their strong
eyesight and the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from her.
Jie Wu imdiately transford into a golden giant and pursued Rong Jingyun.
Jie Se urged the demon-exorcising staff and charged at Rong Jingyun.
Jie Hui raised his hand and shot out two fireballs, illuminating the entire cavern once more.
The three acted independently yet in perfect coordination, as if they had planned it in
advance.
