Chapter 146: Worldly Ties Are Like Nets

The incomparably huge snake slowly twisted its body in the depths of the clouds and mist, casting a grim shadow onto the ground.

Wind and thunder were sudden and urgent.

As if thunderbolts were sounding!

One sound louder than the next—

That majestic snake tail, like a surging long river, just swayed once, creating a small wind eye out of thin air, stirring the surrounding spiritual energy into a howling, chaotic mess!

"Could this be..."

Lord Shan Hu stared blankly at this Innate Divine Monster coiled in the void, the horror on his face increasing bit by bit. He stood frozen in place, the ten fingers in his sleeves tightly clenched into fists.

After a long while.

He tremblingly spat out two words from his mouth as if murmuring:

"Is it a Ba Snake?"

Ba Snake—

A snake that eats elephants, its character resembling the shape of its winding body. It can be a thousand fathoms long, green, red, black, and yellow.

A greedy and harmful long snake, devouring the world!

If it eats an elephant, it will spit out its bones in three years...

That elephant is not an ordinary elephant, but of the Dragon Elephant kind, possessing terrifying divine power. After its bloodline reaches completion, just the breathing from its mouth and nose can shatter one hundred and eight thousand dust motes!

In the genealogy of all Innate Divine Monsters determined by the Dao Court.

If one speaks of greed, evil, and arrogance, only the Taotie can be compared to the Ba Snake!

Both of them swallow without restraint, their desires are limitless, and they are never satisfied!

Such a powerful Innate Divine Monster.

Even that "Huo Luo" sleeping under the Yellow Mud Sea cannot resist it! It is no match!

Stared at fixedly by those sinister, reddish-yellow snake eyes, Lord Shan Hu dared not be the least bit careless, unable to move.

To the point that he dared not even breathe, standing stiffly like a clay statue or a wooden puppet.

"Ba Snake? Ba Snake? I have been cautious all my life, not even daring to offend Ding Xian! When did I ever provoke such a fierce creature?!"

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, his eyeballs rolled wildly, and his mind surged.

Suddenly.

He glanced at the dilapidated house beams below, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, arriving at an answer he couldn't even believe himself.

"Could it be that damned woman, the Madam?! When she went out to hunt for food a month ago, she accidentally discovered a huge snake, saying it had abundant blood and qi, strong muscles and bones, truly excellent blood food... That big snake, could it be this Ba Snake?!"

Thinking of this.

Lord Shan Hu felt the clouds clear from his heart, as if he had arrived at the truth.

At the same time, his face turned even paler, as if brushed carefully with white paint, showing not a shred of blood color.

"But wasn't that snake an ordinary demon? Just a bit larger, running a bit faster, with nothing divine about it, but how is it now..."

Lord Shan Hu's throat moved with a heart full of doubts, but in the end, no other words came out, only a crisp "gurgle" from his throat.

"Looking at the expression on your face, you finally remember who your grandfather is? Good grandson! You have made your grandfather suffer so much this past month!"

Brother Yue You let out a strange laugh, his snake tongue flicking out, like a miserable red rainbow, saying:

"Several times, I was almost caught by your woman, scrubbed and put in a pot, boiled into a pot of mushy meat soup... And now, having finally suppressed my injuries and recovered some of my cultivation, tell me, how should I repay such deep hatred?"

"Senior, please listen, please listen, my Madam doesn't like cooked food, she only likes to eat it raw..." Lord Shan Hu's mind went blank, and he said this subconsciously, then realized it was wrong, tightly closing his mouth, wanting to cry but having no tears.

After a long while.

He let out a dry laugh and carefully opened his mouth to say:

"All the faults are my Madam's fault, it has nothing to do with this old man! It was she who went out to hunt for food and saw the Senior's mysterious true form, but she was blind and didn't recognize the person before her. If the Senior is still angry..."

Lord Shan Hu flattered:

"I can personally capture that cheap woman, Madam Fei Hua, and let the Senior deal with her, whether it's for harvesting, making elixirs, or refining into materials, it is all that cheap woman's own fault!"

"You want to sell your wife?"

Brother Yue You slowly lowered his snake head from the clouds.

"Senior, that is biased! It was she who didn't recognize the heavenly fate and sought her own death! This old man is doing this to eliminate harm and maintain the orthodox path!" Lord Shan Hu puffed out his chest and said righteously.

"Your black-hearted, shameless spirit is actually somewhat similar to Chen Yushu? It makes me somewhat reluctant to kill you. When he fled to the Xu Du Heaven back then, I heard he also abandoned his wife to exchange for a chance at survival..."

Brother Yue You let out an inexplicable long sigh.

Although Lord Shan Hu didn't understand what these words meant, he didn't dare to act rashly, only standing with his hands bound and bowing, saying nothing but yes.

"But grandfather is a natural evil monster! The thing I fear most is not cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots!"

Brother Yue You laughed lowly:

"You cultivate the Nether Ghost Dao? In view of your obedience, I will allow you to commit suicide!"

Lord Shan Hu stared in shock.

"After committing suicide, you will have wasted this cultivation of the Nether Ghost Dao. Grandfather can allow your primordial spirit to leave and go re-cultivate the Great Dao, how about that?"

"..."

Lord Shan Hu's heart flared with anger, but looking up, it quickly extinguished.

Above the mysterious dome.

At this moment, a ten-thousand-foot giant snake was winding and moving.

Great form is formless—

To the point that one could not see its true appearance, only a glimpse of its scales and claws.

Just seeing such an Innate Divine Monster, fear would naturally arise in one's heart, unable to stand, let alone talk about confrontation or competition?

"Waste my cultivation, then allow me to re-cultivate? Damn it! What kind of forgiveness is this!"

Lord Shan Hu gritted his teeth in anger, his heart feeling extremely stifled.

He had never expected that this disaster falling from the sky would be so absurd and unreasonable.

A demon snake that his own wife regarded as blood food to fill her stomach.

Was actually a Ba Snake divine monster?

The absurdity of this was no different from a stinking stone at the bottom of a latrine, soaked in feces for years, actually being a rare and precious jade that could be passed down through the country!

Lord Shan Hu's face was ashen, his thoughts spinning, and finally, unwilling to give up, he quietly cracked a line in the center of his brow, revealing a fishy, stinking eyeball that rolled around "clatteringly."

Just a hurried, timid glance.

Lord Shan Hu's expression showed something unusual...

From the initial shock and fear, it then became subtle.

After a few breaths, it finally settled into a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, you are truly a high-level cultivator, adept at scaring people! If it weren't for this old man's big courage, I would have almost been fooled by you!"

The single eye in the center of Lord Shan Hu's brow flashed wildly, clearly reflecting a different scene.

Above the mysterious dome.

Although there was also a ten-thousand-foot Ba Snake coiled there, its shape was extremely miserable and wretched, its aura dying, with none of the majesty of an Innate Divine Monster!

Half of its body was dripping with blood...

Most of its scales were damaged, revealing the fishy, stinking, rotting flesh inside.

Large and small wounds were densely packed, bones rolled up, almost turning the snake body into a broken sieve without edges.

But the most shocking thing.

Was still a sword wound!

That sword seemed to have once cut the Ba Snake in half, separating it from the middle, and now it was just wrapped in blood qi, barely connecting the two sections of the snake body.

The sharp sword intent that soared to the sky had not yet dissipated, that aura that could cut anything! That grim spirit that could kill anyone was covering the world!

Making Lord Shan Hu, as a spectator, feel a chill!

His skin and flesh stung!

"Whose handiwork is this? How terrifying! This Ba Snake is also truly lucky to have survived such a sword move that could kill ghosts and gods, not only keeping its life but also managing to put on a show to scare me?"

Lord Shan Hu sighed in secret, then looked at Brother Yue You with a smile, straightening his body slightly, saying nothing more.

"You saw it? That short-lived ghost Master Junyao still hurt me too heavily, otherwise, how would I allow you to be so arrogant here!"

The Ba Snake Brother Yue You was silent for a moment, unfolding his body.

In an instant, he turned into a young man wearing gray clothes with a seductive and evil appearance.

He looked coldly at Lord Shan Hu, just about to speak, when his chest felt stuffy, and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, his face like gold paper.

"Is he already at the end of his rope? Fortunately, this old man is shrewd and kept an extra eye, if I had been tricked into committing suicide, wouldn't that have become a huge joke!"

Lord Shan Hu sighed in luck, still maintaining a respectful appearance on the surface, without the slightest relaxation.

Even if Brother Yue You was now in a dying state, if he were to fight him, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage.

But he still dared not offend this Ba Snake too much, still harboring thoughts of reconciliation in his heart.

"This Senior..."

Lord Shan Hu carefully weighed his words, hesitating for a long time before bowing and speaking.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Brother Yue You's sinister voice.

"Good grandson, there is no rush to say flattering words now, let me show you something good first!"

He flicked his sleeve, and a beautiful woman with snow-white skin and a charming manner was shaken out of thin air.

The beautiful woman was still confused when she was thrown out, but soon, when her neck was pinched by Brother Yue You, her face changed in panic, and she finally regained her senses.

"Master!"

As soon as she saw Lord Shan Hu, she was like a drowning person grabbing a straw, calling for help desperately.

This scene made the crowd of fierce ghosts, armed and armored, tremble with fear.

"Madam Fei Hua... she was really captured!"

A four-armed ghost general couldn't help but exclaim. Just as he was about to shout again, he was glared at fiercely by Lord Shan Hu, forcing the words back into his stomach.

"This cheap woman treated me as blood food to fill her stomach, searching the mountains and seas for a month, forcing me into such a sorry state! Now that I, Brother Yue You, have finally recovered some of my injuries, how about it, have you fallen?"

Hearing the sinister killing intent in Brother Yue You's loud laughter.

Madam Fei Hua was even more terrified, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, looking at Lord Shan Hu with pity.

"Senior..."

Lord Shan Hu bit the bullet and said a sentence.

Then, the next moment, Madam Fei Hua was slapped to death by Brother Yue You! He let out a shrill laugh, shook his body, and countless waves of demon light flew from his shoulders, killing toward the ghost generals in all directions!

With a few "bangs," dozens of ghost generals on the field were killed on the spot, the demon light easily piercing through their ghost bodies, tearing them to pieces, just like a sharp blade separating tofu.

And Lord Shan Hu bore the brunt of it. Caught off guard, he was hit hard by several streaks of demon light, his skull aching as if it were about to explode. After resisting a few more, he hurriedly pinched a spell, borrowed water to escape a hundred feet away, and only then stopped.

"Have you gone mad?! In your current state, even if you kill us, you will still die! Don't you want to live?"

After Brother Yue You unleashed this killing supernatural power, he vomited blood repeatedly, the sword wounds on his body becoming even more hideous, making him almost unable to stand.

Lord Shan Hu watched with his eyes splitting, unable to help but roar loudly.

"Mere lowly ghost rat, what a filthy beast! To actually force me, Brother Yue You, into such a sorry state, who can save you? Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save you!"

Brother Yue You's eyes released a cold chill, he gave a ferocious laugh, his body seeming to suddenly leap up a notch.

Boom!

Just in the blink of an eye.

The ghosts on the field only felt that after the dust and smoke exploded, it suddenly went black before them.

When they could see again, the yin qi in their bodies was stagnant, depleted by several layers, as if swallowed by something, and even the ghost arts and nether arts they were prepared to cast could not be unleashed for a time.

"What kind of demon art is this?"

The crowd of ghost generals was terrified, their hair standing on end.

"Attack! Since you don't want face... then let's kill him together!"

Lord Shan Hu also gasped, but still gathered all his strength, silently reciting a spell. Hearing a sound like a mountain collapsing, a thousand flying needles floated from the top of his head, shooting toward Brother Yue You!

Taking advantage of this opportunity to attack, the ghost generals under Lord Shan Hu also used their various methods.

For a time.

Evil qi soared, ghost light was eerie.

"The light of a firefly, how dare it compete with the bright moon!"

Brother Yue You gave a ferocious laugh, not dodging or avoiding, directly meeting them head-on, slapping all the flying needles away, causing them to shatter in his palm and fingers.

"It's over!"

Lord Shan Hu was shocked, but at this time, he could not retreat, only able to shout loudly to bolster his courage.

About half an hour later.

After killing the last ghost general.

Brother Yue You looked at the miserable corpses all around, threw the unconscious Lord Shan Hu to the ground at will, picked up his severed arm, and reattached it.

Although there was a look of exhaustion on his face, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but let out a shrill laugh.

Ever since this spiritual body left "Water-Dwelling Rongcheng Duming."

Except for meeting Master Junyao, this was the first time he had been so frustrated!

Back then, Master Junyao's spiritual body held the "Yuan Du Demon-Slaying Sword," cutting Brother Yue You in two, almost killing him on the spot.

It was only because Chen Chen Yushu distracted him with help that Brother Yue You had a chance to breathe, and at the critical moment, he activated the "Escape Boundary Shuttle" gifted by Yuan Ju of Lin Jiao Island, leaving the battlefield and entering the Earth Abyss.

Just like this.

He luckily saved the life of this spiritual body.

Brother Yue You did not know who won or lost in the battle between Chen Chen Yushu and Master Junyao after he fled.

He first fell into a coma for several months due to his heavy injuries, and then, in order not to attract the covetousness of the ancient yin gods in the Earth Abyss, he had to endure humiliation and change his form, turning into an ordinary demon snake to act.

While swallowing turbid yin.

Hoping to recover from the injuries left by Master Junyao.

On the other hand.

He was searching everywhere in the Earth Abyss, not forgetting to continue to capture Chen Hang and bring him back to the Innate Demon Sect to offer to Chen Chen Yushu...

In fact, Brother Yue You originally held a drop of Chen Chen Yushu's essence blood. As long as he entered the Earth Abyss, the essence blood could guide him to Chen Hang's current location, without needing to bump around like a headless fly.

But Master Junyao's heaven-shaking sword.

How could it be easily endured?

In order to save the life of this spiritual body, at the moment of entering the Earth Abyss, Brother Yue You had already swallowed that drop of Chen Chen Yushu's essence blood.

It was precisely because of the miraculous nature of that drop of pure yang true blood that he was able to barely join the two severed sections of his body together and save his life.

Today's grudge was entirely because he was seen by Madam Fei Hua, who was out hunting for food while he was disguised as an ordinary demon snake, and was treated as a piece of excellent blood food.

His injuries had not yet fully recovered.

Brother Yue You naturally could not defeat these Omen Ghosts and could only flee in a sorry state.

Now that his supernatural powers had recovered slightly, he couldn't wait to come and wash away his shame.

At this time, seeing that all the ghosts had been executed, Brother Yue You felt a sense of relief in his heart and couldn't help but laugh loudly again.

"Finally, the matter is finished, and it's time to continue searching for Chen Hang. It's a pity that in order to survive, I swallowed Chen Yushu's essence blood...

The Earth Abyss is so vast, without other means, how can I catch that little brat? I can't just waste a few years of effort in this ghost territory, right?"

Brother Yue You sighed in his heart, swallowed the unconscious Lord Shan Hu in one gulp, and operated the soul-searching technique.

These days, he had been relying on the method of soul-searching to view the life memories of the ghost creatures in the Earth Abyss, to see if any of them had encountered Chen Hang.

It was just a pity.

The development of the situation was not satisfactory.

There wasn't even half a one...

At first, he just took it as a routine matter, and even Brother Yue You didn't take it too seriously.

But as Lord Shan Hu's memories appeared bit by bit.

Finally.

When he saw the young Daoist with a tall, upright figure on the dragon carriage, he was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands in great joy!

"Good! Good! It's truly a case of 'finding it without looking for it'! Today's revenge was truly worth it!"

Brother Yue You couldn't help but dance with joy:

"This ghost creature, Lord Shan Hu, actually deposited a strand of his soul in his house general, and that house general had seen Chen Hang with his own eyes! Such is the heavenly fate, heaven is helping me! Chen Yushu is indeed destined by heaven, hahahaha!"

Brother Yue You laughed strangely a few more times, not stopping, and continued to search through Lord Shan Hu's memories.

But this time.

He frowned slightly.

"Qiao Yu Bi? I wondered why this crazy person who doesn't recognize his own kin hadn't appeared for years; so he was hiding in the Earth Abyss? And what is this Yellow Mud Sea, that 'Huo Luo'..."

Brother Yue You's expression was extremely strange for a moment.

He secretly thought:

"That 'Huo Luo' under the Yellow Mud Sea, wouldn't it be the divine monster that Chen Yan kept by her side back then? After Chen Yushu swallowed Chen Yan, he didn't just kill this broken thing?"
