Chapter 135: Heaven Never Cuts Off All Paths for Man

135. Chapter 135: Heaven Never Cuts Off All Paths for Man

Boom!

As terrifying thunder raged all around, those several Yin Souls were instantly severely injured; Luo Yao took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and a mass of Yin Qi surged out from within the banner, sweeping up the Yin Souls in its grasp and dragging them back inside.

Luo Yao clearly felt that after absorbing those few Yin Souls, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had become even more powerful, and immediately her eyes lit up as she looked at that Fierce Ghost Commander outside.

If he were absorbed, could the Ten Thousand Souls Banner advance to the level of a Dharma Treasure?

As for that Fierce Ghost Commander, his expression was extremely ugly; even the Ghost General Lord had been held back by him using Yin Beasts, yet he could not handle a little girl.

"What's wrong? Could it be that a Commander of the illustrious Nether Nether Prefecture is actually afraid of me?" Having made up her mind to absorb the Fierce Ghost Commander into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Luo Yao began to mock him aloud.

"No way, no way!"

How could the Fierce Ghost Commander endure such humiliation; instantly, fury made the Yin Qi throughout his body surge wildly.

"Was it done by that bunch of bastards? I will absolutely not let those bastards off."

Moreover, she had finished dealing with her opponent even faster than he had; this was simply absurd.

The Ghost General said with worry, "Where is she now? Take me to see her quickly."

"A group of traitors has appeared within the Nether Nether Prefecture; the Princess's current situation is extremely dangerous."

"Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass; even if it is only seeds, it does not matter."

"Right now, there is only one way to save Xiao Wan."

"Finally finished?" Luo Yao stood up from the stool, brushed the melon seed shells off her clothes, and said with some dissatisfaction, "That was too slow!"

While sizing him up and observing his expression, Luo Yao said, "When You Wan was previously in Heifeng City, her tracks were exposed; as a result, the Heifeng Sect sealed the city gates, intending to harm her."

The Ghost General said, "Since you know this, you should also know that the Five Elements Yin-Yang Pill lacks the main Spirit Herb required for its refinement; the only way to save Xiao Wan now is to bring her back to the Nether Nether Prefecture and ask the Prefecture Lord to act."

Previously, the Commander had addressed him as a guard; if Luo Yao guessed correctly, he should be one of You Wan's guards.

"What?"

"How do you know this?"

After all, although that Commander's strength was weaker than his own, he was extremely cunning.

Only then did the Ghost General breathe a sigh of relief; he pulled the Long Spear out of the monster, then looked around somewhat anxiously—although he had given Luo Yao a Dharma Treasure, he was still worried that something might happen to her.

When Gong Min said that the Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass could not be cultivated, Luo Yao thought of her Golden Finger, but the only problem was that the Five Elements Yin-Yang Grass had gone extinct.

"Now, I need the Spirit Herbs to refine the Small Yin-Yang Pill."

As for the Commander and some other Yin Souls, they had long since disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, he knew the secrets on You Wan's person and was one of the core figures of the Nether Nether Prefecture.

Luo Yao had not yet determined whether he was trustworthy, so naturally she could not take him to see Xiao Wan.

Of course, this was not because she was petty or afraid that the cause of Xiao Wan's Yin Qi eruption would be exposed; rather, she needed the Ghost General to do something more important.

"Small Yin-Yang Pill?" The Ghost General frowned. "I know of this; I even have part of it on my person, but the most crucial Spirit Herb is missing."

"Give me these Spirit Herbs, and I can save Xiao Wan."

"Xiao Wan told me that there was also that Alchemist; back then, he also participated in treating Xiao Wan."

After all, the Princess's name had not been announced to the outside world.

The Ghost General: "..."

"Is the Princess alright?"

"Damn it!" That Ghost General smashed his fist against the wall. "Those traitors—if I catch them, I will make them pay dearly."

Luo Yao was uncertain whether he was sincere or acting; if it were the latter, that would be too terrifying.

Although he knew this was meant to enrage him, he did not wish to drag things out any longer.

However, he had no time for nonsense. "Let's leave this place first and talk somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost General's face instantly changed drastically. "How could this be? Before we left, wasn't the Yin Qi within the Princess's body suppressed? Why has it erupted? What happened?"

Hearing this, Luo Yao's eyes immediately lit up. "Even one year's worth will do."

"Then can your Prefecture Lord cure the root cause?"

However, upon hearing Luo Yao speak the Princess's name, he knew that Luo Yao must have had contact with the Princess; otherwise, she could not possibly know the Princess's name.

Although she guessed he was a guard loyal to Xiao Wan, Luo Yao still did not take him to see Xiao Wan.

"Gather the refinement materials for the Small Yin-Yang Pill."

The Ghost General fell silent.

After taking Luo Yao away from this place, he found a safe spot, then could not wait to ask, "Where is the Princess? Is she alright!"

The Ghost General also guessed what had happened afterward: that Commander had captured Luo Yao, wanting to force her to reveal the Princess's whereabouts, but he himself had received news and arrived, causing the Ghost General to be unable to ask for the information he wanted in time.

Bang!

In the end, that monster collapsed to the ground.

"For real?"

"What method?"

Bang!

The Ghost General was once again knocked flying by the monster, but the Long Spear in his hand fiercely stabbed into the monster's body, piercing in from the abdomen and exiting through its back.

Luo Yao, however, said with a serious expression, "But I can."

The Ghost General narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Yao. "How do you know this so clearly?"

One could see Luo Yao sitting on a stool, leisurely cracking melon seeds, looking as if she were merely watching a show; at her feet lay many broken Weapons, among them that Commander's giant axe.

The Ghost General threatened, "If you are playing me, I will make you wish you were dead!"

"Little girl, you are seeking death."

However, she could only continue probing: "After arriving at Duanzui Cheng, we tested these men from Youming Fu—but who knew…?"

Yet, when he saw Luo Yao, he froze.

Could it be she's hiding her true strength, pretending to be weak while actually being a tiger?

This girl has less than Yin Soul Realm cultivation—how could she possibly defeat so many Yin Soul Realm cultivators, plus a battle-hardened Fierce Ghost Realm Ghost Commander?

"Black Wind Gate!" the Ghost General heard this and clenched his fists, eyes blazing with rage. "I'll remember this grudge."

"But you must have seeds of the Five Elements Yin-Yang Herb, right?"

Luo Yao shook her head. "Her condition is bad."

As for the bastards he mentioned, Luo Yao didn't know who they were, but guessed they were the traitors; as for why Xiao Wan's yin energy erupted, he wouldn't dare say it—if he did, he knew he'd never be spared.

"We of Youming Fu do possess seeds of the Five Elements Yin-Yang Herb and have cultivated them, but they die after just one year. To brew a Small Yin-Yang Pill, you need at least a five-thousand-year-old Five Elements Yin-Yang Herb."

"Xiao Wan's yin energy has erupted. I sought out an Alchemist, who said she has only one day left—if we can't resolve her yin energy, she'll likely…"

The Ghost General froze, a shocking thought flashing through his mind: Could it be she dealt with them all alone?

Impossible.

Fortunately, Youming Fu, as the top power of the Ancient Battlefield—or perhaps because Youming Fujun truly doted on Xiao Wan—still managed to obtain seeds of the extinct Five Elements Yin-Yang Herb, though not many.

"The Spirit Herb is in Youming Fu—and why should I give it to you?"

The Ghost General's words doused Luo Yao like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing her passion and excitement.
