was perfect.A glint of darkness flashed in Master Ma's eyes as he smiled and said, "Does this count as an illness You just seem to have some unusual psychological perceptions. Why don't you recuperat...“Such a spell would cause spatial distortion. If I didn’t sever the connection, many ghostly apparitions from the underworld would take the opportunity to escape… Therefore, before that corpse demon fully merges into the Blood Pool Hell, I cannot break it.” He frowned and said.

The Corpse Demon devoured too many corpses, resentful spirits, and even animals. It ate anything living that it could get its claws on. The black blood was filled with overwhelming resentment and malice, dragging him to the Blood Pool Hell. There, he would be transformed into pus and blood, and then a celestial immortal would use their divine power to purge him of his evil aura and guide his spirit to peace.

Only then can we completely make this thing disappear and prevent it from harming the world.

"But you, little one, haven't been coming all this time, always distracting me...several spells almost went out of control...Mu Xia Qiao, I worry about you too, facing these things alone, I fear you can't handle it."

"...once this worry starts to surface, it's unstoppable and keeps spiraling."

He pressed his long, strong fingers against his temple, shaking his head lightly and sighing: "Thinking about it is like madness, there's no solution... perhaps only you can solve it."

It's been days since I last heard from you, and my thoughts have been consumed by your absence.

But I didn't expect that the divine being would be so merciful, even sparing someone as insignificant as me. Otherwise, I would have come to you long ago.

"What are we going to do now There's still so much to take care of... The Grand Elder of the world is dealing with the Situ family, and the master of the corpse cultivator hasn't been caught yet, and—"

He held up his hand to cut me off: "Are you closely connected with the Lin family"

"...Miss Lin often comes to play, I don't often see Lin Yanhuan, but this time he also helped a lot, and even helped us deal with the Situ family." I answered truthfully.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is that so"

This attitude makes me a little suspicious. I really don't have much interaction with Lin Yanhuan. He's too deep and calculating, I only dare to talk to him more when I need his help.

And when talking to him, I often worried about saying the wrong thing.

Jiang Qiyun smiled lightly and tapped my forehead, saying, "He wants to deal with me."

What

"You said... Lin Yanhuan How did he treat you"

"When I severed the dimensional gate between realms, I discovered that the power of the underworld was ineffective on the yang side..."

I quickly replied, “It seems to be an order from the higher-ups that all temples and religious places across the country should shut their doors and suspend operations.”

Jiang Qiyun lightly smiled and said, "He's quite impressive too, remaining unfazed in front of you, not revealing a single thing... Do you know that the underworld has a dojo in the mortal world"

"A dojo Is that the massive ghost town I've heard it's a famous tourist spot..." I replied softly.

He nodded and said, “Yes, that temple has existed for a thousand years, and it has had a great influence, spreading its beliefs to the world. It has a very large following.”

“After I severed the connection to the afterlife... I discovered that the realms could not be unilaterally restored. Have you felt my fragment of soul Using the seal's connection, a bit of my soul can appear beside you, however you cannot see it, touch it, or communicate with it.”

It turns out that the chill I felt in the house and room was really him.

I could feel him, but I couldn't see or touch him. Unable to express my frantic longing with hugs and kisses, how much more maddening could this be

"Why would Lin Yanhuan do this" I frowned, asking. He didn't seem overly attached to me, instead remaining calm and collected.

This feeling was quite awkward. I carefully kept my distance, but the other person remained calm and composed, never overstepping any boundaries. They even helped me out at a crucial moment.

This makes me feel like I'm overthinking things.

"The Temple of Heaven and the ancestral shrines... Hmph... People like him have always been unwilling to be controlled by others. He wants to erase the Underworld's control over the mortal world, and cutting off the incense at the Taoist temples is just one method. Getting rid of the Si Tu family is neither beneficial nor harmful to him, so he's not doing it to help you. On the contrary, you are helping him."

Jiang Qiyun's words were spoken so casually, I found them rather uncomfortable.

"When did he make these deployments I didn't hear a word."

If he truly wanted to hide it from you, could you hear it Forget it… I’ll deal with things here first, reopen the passages between realms, and then I’ll go handle his affairs.

Jiang Qiyun carried me to the attic window and pushed it open. I looked out at the dark city.

"Look at the distance." Jiang Qiyun reached out and pinched my chin, making me look into the distance.

This city is more than just towering walls; it also boasts vast stretches of pavilions and towers.

Every single one was pitch black, with no lights, only flickering green ghostly flames.

"This is part of Hell, there are many legends about the Blood Pond Hell in the human world... Have you heard the saying 'Divine powers cannot overcome karma'"

I nodded, having heard. The power of karma even troubles immortals, doesn't it

"The blood pool is the embodiment of karmic hindrances from both the yin and yang realms." He looked into the distance.

In the distance, there was a vast expanse of dark, churning waves, which must be the Blood Pool.

"Qi Yun, I remember the last time you were punished to the Blood Pool and planted lotus flowers... It took nine days for you to come back."

"Well, actually guiding the souls to the afterlife is one of the duties of the Underworld Gods. It's just that I don't like coming here for this task, so I rarely get involved."

"Don't like it"

"Compared to those gods who have lived for millions of years, my cultivation is too shallow. Participating in the Calamity-Crossing Ceremony would waste too much time. I'm worried about you and can't focus on casting spells, so I won't be coming... Anyway, the Great God Taiyi will come to resolve it. He is far more powerful than me." Jiang Qiyun slyly smirked.

Is his reason for slacking off a little too willful

This guy must be a fairy that gives the Purple Emperor a headache.

"If I could dissolve the karmic obstacles in this blood pool and overcome this demonic tribulation, my magical power and cultivation level would reach a new height...So Taiyi Divine God had you convert to his sect and brought you to me... so that I myself could handle it."

I stared at him in bewilderment: "Isn't it said that casting spells requires tranquility How can you remain calm with me here"

"Well, who let you be my only concern... You're still so silly to come after all this time. Don't you know a spell needs someone to support it"

I don't know how to support it at all!

"You'd better ask the black and white impermanence to protect you. If anything happens, I don't know how to handle it."

He chuckled softly: “They're providing support outside the field, what about you…”

How am I

"You need to protect the formation within." He embraced me, then leaped into the air, crossing several levels of buildings until we reached the blood lake shrouded in evil aura.

I saw another "Jiang Qiyun" sitting on the green stone in the formation, with his eyes closed and chanting incantations. There was a faint fluorescence surrounding him.

When Bai Wu Chang saw me, he grinned wickedly: "Little Lady~ Don't be surprised! This is the technique of splitting the soul used by Your Majesty. Your Majesty's soul is with you now, hee hee hee..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!red just at the edge of Lin Yan Huan's collarbone, dangerously close to his nape.Her eyes were full of provocation, as if mocking my helplessness: come on, deal with me, or expose me, and see if he be...
