Chapter 675: Negotiating with me?

Chen Yu flicked his right hand, and a Spirit Attachment Talisman appeared; a faint light flickered on the Talisman Paper, sucking that trail of smoke into the talisman.

Chen Yu then pointed into the void, and that piece of Talisman Paper instantly transformed into a burst of fire and exploded.

"Xiaowang, where is Zhang Yan?" Zhang Peng lunged forward and shouted.

But the thing inside Xiaowang's body had just left, and with his eyes rolled back and his body stiff, he couldn't hear a word Zhang Peng said.

"It's useless to ask him; his consciousness hasn't cleared yet. Let's look for the others; they should all be here," Chen Yu said.

Zhang Peng had no choice but to leave Xiaowang behind and follow Chen Yu as he walked downward.

In the center of the first basement level, four girls dressed as White-robed Onmyoji were still floating in mid-air; their heads hung low, as if they were being hung in the air.

"What happened to them?" Jiang Wei asked, enduring his pain.

"The same as Xiaowang. Be careful," Chen Yu said.

No sooner had Chen Yu finished speaking than the four of them raised their heads in unison; their complexions were deathly pale, revealing a trace of a cold, sinister smile, and then the veins on their foreheads bulged.

The veins on their foreheads slowly writhed, just like earthworms crawling across their skin.

With a *whoosh*, one girl lunged down suddenly, pouncing on Zhang Peng like an octopus, opening her mouth to bite at his neck.

Chen Yu let out a deep shout and struck down with his palm; the Yin Spirit inside this girl's body instantly vanished into thin air, and her body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

The remaining three also rushed up, but Chen Yu struck out with his palm, sending the three of them flying in different directions; with Chen Yu's current strength, shattering the Yin Spirits attached to the three of them was no difficult task.

"Mr. Chen, where is my sister?" Zhang Peng asked, somewhat anxiously.

"Don't be anxious, she should be within this area too. Let's keep looking," Chen Yu said, knitting his brows and looking around. "This place is an Extreme Yin Ground, a world completely cut off from the outside; once the Extreme Yin Ground is broken, she will appear."

"But how do we break an Extreme Yin Ground?" Jiang Wei asked.

Chen Yu did not speak; he pondered for a moment and said, "This residential complex has three main gates. We just need to plant one of the Array Flags I made myself at each gate."

"But the drawback is that these three Array Flags must be planted simultaneously, so the three of us need to go to different places. There are too many lonely spirits here, and many Fierce Spirits as well, so it's impossible for you two to reach the other two gates."

"We can try," Jiang Wei said. "If this Extreme Yin Ground isn't broken, does that mean we can't find her?"

"It's very hard to find her. After all, the scripture she printed drew all the Yin energy onto herself, so if the Extreme Yin Ground isn't broken, it's very hard to find her," Chen Yu said.

"Then let's try," Zhang Peng said urgently; after all, Zhang Yan was his sister, and if something really happened to her, he wouldn't be able to answer to his family.

"No, that's too dangerous. How about this: we go outside, and I'll try to break it by force," Chen Yu pondered for a moment.

The three of them walked outside. At this moment, black mist filled the air, and a series of ghostly wails and wolf howls echoed invisibly, as if they were standing in Purgatory.

These shadowy, indistinct black figures were much fiercer than the Spirit bodies from just before and were clearly aggressive. Chen Yu walked to the building in the very center, looked up at it, then gave a deep shout and beckoned with his right hand; the Li Chen suddenly appeared.

A crimson brilliance erupted in the darkness, and the surrounding mass of black mist fled in terror. Chen Yu formed a seal with both hands, and the brilliance on the Li Chen floating in mid-air suddenly magnified, followed by a loud *boom*.

Directly in front of this unfinished building, a deep trench two meters deep, about three meters wide, and six zhang long appeared.

This deep trench was exactly what had been carved out by the Li Chen in Chen Yu's hand; this position was exactly where the Yin Cave of the Extreme Yin Ground was located, and Chen Yu used the Li Chen to break it open with one sword strike.

As Chen Yu's sword strike broke it open, the surrounding black mist vanished instantly.

Moonlight finally shone in. Chen Yu let out a breath and said, "The Yin Land is broken. Hurry and find her."

The group turned back into the building and went down to the second basement level, where they saw Zhang Yan curled up in a corner.

"Yanyan." In his desperation, Zhang Peng was about to rush over, but Chen Yu pulled him back.

"Don't go over. The Spirit body on her is still there. If you rush over rashly, it will cause the Spirit body to have a stress reaction," Chen Yu said, pulling Zhang Peng back.

"What do we do now?" Zhang Peng saw that Zhang Yan was covered in blood, a look of defeat on her face, and couldn't help but grow anxious.

"You two step back; I'll talk to her," Chen Yu waved his hand, and Zhang Peng and Jiang Wei retreated a few steps.

Chen Yu walked forward slowly, steadied himself, and said, "You should leave. I will find someone to perform a deliverance for you."

Zhang Yan raised her head, a flash of red light passing through her Double Pupils. She opened her mouth wide, let out a hiss, and then grabbed a steel bar with her right hand, taking an attacking stance.

It was clear that the Spirit body inside her body was unwilling to leave.

"Staying in someone else's body like this does you no good at all," Chen Yu said coldly. "After I perform the deliverance for you, you can be reborn as a human."

A strange smile appeared on Zhang Yan's face, a smile filled with disdain; she clearly didn't take the matter of deliverance to heart at all.

She stretched out her right hand, and two long fingernails extended from it.

The fingernails on these two hands were a full five centimeters long. Zhang Yan's pupils turned white as she stared at Chen Yu, then she extended her long fingernails and stabbed them into her own thigh.

Fresh blood instantly flowed down, and Zhang Peng, standing to the side, nearly cried out in alarm.

"Fine, fine, tell me what your conditions are," Chen Yu stepped back to show he was compromising.

Zhang Yan raised her head and stared at Chen Yu expressionlessly; the smile on her face became even more eerie, and at the same time, another hiss came from her mouth.

"You want to occupy her body?" Chen Yu raised his head and stared at Zhang Yan.

The smile on Zhang Yan's face grew thicker, but also more terrifying, and she hissed again.

"That is impossible, and it's not realistic," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "You have already become a Fierce Spirit, and you are forcibly occupying someone else's body, so it is impossible for you to stay."

Zhang Yan roared again, and a cold sneer appeared on Chen Yu's face: "You want me to help you find a body? If you were kind, everything would be up for negotiation, but you are an evildoer."

"So my bottom line is deliverance, allowing you to be reborn as a human and forget your decades of life as a lonely spirit," Chen Yu said coldly. "You want to be reborn in a new body while keeping your current abilities? That is impossible, because you would go on to harm people."

Zhang Yan was enraged; the fingernails on her right hand suddenly dug heavily into the cement wall to the side. Cement flew from the wall, and with a *crack*, she grabbed a rusted steel bar with her bare hand.

She raised the steel bar in her hand, aimed it at her own thigh, and stared fixedly at Chen Yu, a hint of a threat appearing in her white-rolled Double Pupils.

"That is impossible," Chen Yu said coldly. "I am talking to you because I want to give you a hand, not because I am afraid of you. You need to get that straight."
