Chapter 296: Healing Him, News of the Seal (2nd Update)

Mo Yuan is said to have been sealed 'dead,' impossible to wake up!

But he opened his eyes! It even startled Shen Qingli.

"Mo Yuan?" Shen Qingli exclaimed in surprise.

Mo Yuan showed no other movement, as if opening his eyes was just a reflex, not meaning he had awakened.

Jiu Li stepped forward, examined him up and down, and asked, "Is this just a vegetative person's muscles spontaneously opening the eyes?"

"Beast, Master,"

Mo Yuan hoarsely spoke, as if just learning to talk.

Shen Qingli was already shocked, "Do you still retain your memory?"

"Mo, Master," Mo Yuan recognized Shen Qingli's voice, yet became obviously excited, "Shen, Qing, Huang,"

"Don't rush, I've already 'rescued' my older brother." Shen Qingli immediately replied.

Mo Yuan's emotions steadied a bit, "Talisman,"

"Oh oh, I'll uncover it for you, right?"

"Yes,"

Jiu Li immediately peeled off those talismans.

Mo Yuan's voice finally became smooth.

Basically explained what he and Shen Qinghuang had experienced during their abduction.

It matched Shen Qingli's deduction almost exactly, the only difference being——

"You say my older brother underwent Death Nirvana?" Shen Qingli gasped; if Death Nirvana, how could a physical body remain?

"Yes, but at that time he had already been tendon-extracted and bone-stripped, his flesh fed to evil things, leaving only his primary spirit. He didn't originally want to die, but upon learning they intended to use his mutilated body to threaten him, he initiated suicidal Nirvana."

"So, he reckons, only his primary spirit underwent Death Nirvana?" Mo Yuan couldn't figure it out.

"Then what's your condition?" Shen Qingli wondered how Mo Yuan could retain his consciousness and memory.

"It's related to my demonic cultivation." Mo Yuan also felt fortunate, "My demonic cultivation allows me, even with only a wisp of soul, to self-nurture into a complete soul. They thought leaving just a wisp would let them control me—dream on!"

"I see." Shen Qingli understood, "But your situation is also rather delicate; we need to wait for my father to examine you."

"No need; I'll find some heavenly treasures and forge a new demonic body. This thing is too disgusting and evil, often affecting my mind." Mo Yuan didn't want to stay in this corpse, "Help me extract my soul."

"He's ruthless." Jiu Li gave a thumbs-up, "This is simple; I'll help you."

"Thank you, Beast Master..." Before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, his body vanished.

Jiu Li gulped him down in one bite, giving Mo Yuan a feeling of having long been coveted, and it happened very suddenly.

"Come on, come to me first." Jiu Li also stretched out its paws, letting it go into its embrace.

Mo Yuan fell silent, not moving……

Shen Qingli then said, "Li Li, can you store Mo Yuan's soul?"

"Of course." Jiu Li patted its round belly, "In here."

Mo Yuan felt chilly; could he still survive like this?

"No, Beast Master, are you eating our ancestor?" Mo Jun had already blurted out.

"Nonsense!" Jiu Li rolled its eyes, "If I ate him, could I still leave him a soul?"

"……I trust the Beast Master." Gathering courage, Mo Yuan threw himself into Jiu Li's embrace and belly.

Shen Qingli naturally also trusted Jiu Li, but still reminded, "Li Li, humans cannot be eaten."

"I know, I know; I'm not a baby, I don't like eating people." Jiu Li lay flat on its back.

Jiu Ying wiped his bloody mouth and rushed in angrily, "You fat lump! You're scheming against me, your Ninth Grandfather again!"

It said, "I'm so well-behaved! Why does the master still prefer the fat lump, not like my mighty, impressive self? Turns out a petty person is behind this!"

"I'll bite you to death!" Jiu Ying lunged and bit!

Jiu Li swiftly kicked, a precise jio struck its middle head, sending it flying!

"Ugly octopus, rebelling, right?" Jiu Li, hands on hips, chased after and gave a beating, "Stubborn, right? Even your older brother dares to provoke! I won't let you die!"

"Peng peng dang dang"

"Ao ao weng weng"

Various critical hits, miserable screams, and pleas for mercy rose and fell.

"You think just because I indulge Xi Xi, you can also ride on my head?"

Even without growing larger, Jiu Li gave the fierce god Jiu Ying a critical hit that left his head swollen!

"You're indulging me?" Shen Que exploded in anger, spewing a mouthful of demonic flame!

Jiu Li nimbly dodged, the flame landing on Jiu Ying.

"Weng!"

Jiu Ying burst into tears!

"You two are lovey-dovey and gang up on me!"

Jiu Ying sniffled back to seek Shen Qingli as his master.

……

After having given instructions to Huang Lao Gou and Mo Jun, Shen Qingli looked at its pitiful, tearful expression, felt a pang of sympathy, and drove it away.

"You're covered in blood; go wash clean."

"Oh,"

Jiu Ying retreated resentfully, not thinking there was anything wrong with being covered in blood!

So fragrant! So pleasant-smelling! Always complaining about it……

You fat lump, you treacherous villain! Wait, wait until I digest that King Jiu Ying's beast pellet, then I'll settle accounts with you!

Also at this moment, the ascended Jiang clan elder appeared at the East Palace exit.

The East Palace divine soldiers on guard were about to step forward for routine questioning when he produced Shen Qingli's token.

As soon as this token appeared, Shen Kuo arrived instantly!

The Jiang clan elder was completely dumbfounded...

Shen Kuo did recognize him, saying, "Jiang elder senior, this is A Li's token—where did you get it?"

These days, Shen Kuo and his daughter have been waiting anxiously! Several times he tore open a gap at the original rift.

But no matter which gap, the aura was wrong! It was not the Great Emptiness Death Realm that Shen Qingli entered.

If he still couldn't find his daughter, Shen Kuo would regret not having followed her in!

"She gave it to me," the Jiang clan elder said frankly.

"She's in Sheng Long Tian?!" Shen Kuo exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Zhong Minglan had also descended.

"Little beauty is in Sheng Long Tian? I'll go down."

Zhong Minglan, without a word, intended to go against the flow down to the lower realm.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo was quick-handed and grabbed her in one swoop.

"You can't go down; this passage can't bear you."

"Then I'll go inscribe a formation and go down."

"Don't rush; let's first find out what's happening."

Shen Kuo had grown accustomed to Zhong Ming's hot-tempered nature, and while holding her, he gently smoothed her hair that had exploded.

The Jiang clan elder had also come to his senses, bowing and saying, "God Lord, Empress, rest assured—A Li is fine; she sent me to report her safety."

"Good." Shen Kuo's long‑hanging heart finally settled.

But that peace lasted only a moment before the Jiang clan elder solemnly said, "God Lord, may I have a word?"

"Naturally." Shen Kuo directly brought the person back to the Shen Ting Dao Palace.

As the Jiang clan elder elaborated, Shen Kuo and Zhong Minglan finally learned that a major upheaval had occurred in Sheng Long Tian.

However, the Tai Jin and Di Er designated by Shen Qingli could not descend to Sheng Long Tian; only the Queen Mother of the West could go down.

Before the Queen Mother of the West departed, Shen Kuo specially instructed, "Have A Li and the others come up quickly, otherwise once the seal is completed they may never be able to return."

As for the Shen clan land polluted by the Kirin Lord's evil vines…
