795: Chapter 210: Yanjun?_1 795: Chapter 210: Yanjun?_1 Su He looked at the ghost creature in front of him, which was indeed formidable within the cave.
It could utilize the power of the cave, killing a Stepping Sky Six-fold with just one strike.
With one slash, the entire power of the cave descended upon Feng Xiu, from the flesh body to the Divine God Soul connected to the Life Bound Star—eradicated in a single blow.
Much more efficient than Su He.
If Su He were to kill Feng Xiu himself, he would need to engage in quite a struggle, and there was even the possibility of the tables turning against him.
As the ghost creature was suppressing in the cave, it was practically invincible.
What a pity that the fellows outside must have been scared off by now, with no one daring to rashly enter the cave anymore.
Otherwise, it would have been an excellent opportunity for hunting.
Having been trained by Baiyin for some time, the ghost creature could now make use of Netherworld Qi, which was rather good.
However, its own power was still a bit weak.
Su He estimated that by itself, it had the prowess of about a Stepping Sky Six-fold.
The millions of years spent amounted to nothing.
“Come!” Su He called out.
A force of attraction landed on the ghost creature, which, without any objections, followed Su He’s pull and entered the Inner World directly.
It ignored the upper levels and, with a flash, familiarly made its way underground, entering the Netherworld through the Entrance to the Netherworld.
The Netherworld within Su He’s Inner World was dim and dark, even broader and more boundless than the outside cave, stretching beyond sight.
Entering the Netherworld, the ghost creature spread its arms, enjoying the ambiance of the Netherworld with a satisfied expression.
It found the Netherworld here even more pleasing than the Netherworld cave in the White Tiger Ruin.
The creature had been captured by Baiyin from this Netherworld, and now returning once more, could it be considered a return to its old home?
Its arms gently swayed, summoning the Netherworld Qi, as if merging with the Netherworld itself.
This level of harmony…
If Su He took it a step further and condensed the Laws of the Netherworld into a scepter and bestowed it upon this ghost creature, it could certainly make a fine candidate for Yanjun!
Absorbing the familiar qi without moving, the ghost creature took in the essence of its hometown, while Su He turned his attention elsewhere, sending a Consciousness Body into the Inner World.
The Netherworld White Tiger was having a standoff with Yue Ying, as they curiously looked at each other.
Upon seeing Su He enter, Yue Ying’s complexion instantly turned a shade paler, “You…
you’re not here to silence me, are you?”
With resentful eyes, she looked at Su He.
If you had to discuss such secrets, couldn’t you do it behind closed doors?
Couldn’t you have sealed off the Inner World?
Why should I bear the consequences for your negligence!
How could a little monk like her take on such secrets?
Merely because she grew an extra pair of wings?
Su He: “…”
He was not a man prone to needless slaughter, but some matters indeed could not be exposed to outsiders.
Su He sighed, “Fellow Daoist, please stay in my Inner World for a while.
Once the situation stabilizes, I will ask a senior to erase these memories of yours.
Afterward, you are free to leave—this error was my oversight, and compensation will follow.”
Su He spoke earnestly, and Yue Ying’s face, already displaying dissent, turned to a look of sorrow, “You still want to kill me after all—my clan can repair even heaven and earth, let alone mere memories!”
As long as the Divine God Soul and brain are intact, even if memories are smashed to a pulp and thoroughly excavated, they would instinctively be repaired.
Su He: “…”
Shouldn’t such capabilities be quietly concealed?
Truly, this is her first time away from home, with no experience in the world of cultivation.
Could she really have revealed such a crucial family secret?
Now, it’s impossible to let you go even if I wanted to.
After a moment of silence, Su He sighed and asked, “We haven’t truly been acquainted.
May I ask which clan does Fellow Daoist hail from?”
Yue Ying immediately became defensive, eyeing Su He warily, “Only I know your secret.
My clan doesn’t possess the ability for mental communication!”
Su He chuckled and shook his head, “If Fellow Daoist wishes not to speak, then don’t.
I thought perhaps your clan may have some connection with the Bu Tian Clan.
I have some history with them.”
Well, I once guarded a forbidden area for them, even though the Bu Tian Clan is unaware of it.
He also obtained two portions of White Tiger Blood in their forbidden area—later on, he could try it on this Netherworld White Tiger.
Yue Ying frowned and asked thoughtfully, “What is the Bu Tian Clan?”
She had never heard of them, but judging by the name, both clans might indeed have a connection—Bu Tian, the power to repair heaven.
Perhaps sensing that Su He truly harbored no malice, Yue Ying pondered and replied, “My clan is called Tian Nu’s Arrow.”
The arrow of the venerable heavens?
That seemed to be the meaning behind the name.
Su He stepped closer, and Yue Ying retreated immediately.
Su He exhaled, “How about this?
I indeed cannot let you leave for now, but I am not imprisoning you.
I am hiring you to stay in my Inner World.
During your stay, you will be responsible for maintaining my Inner World, and I will provide everything needed for your cultivation.
When you leave, there will also be Spirit Stones as compensation.”
Yue Ying was silent for a long time before raising her head to look soberly at Su He, “I will not become a dependent!”
She absolutely did not want to become a dependent like the mermaids.
“You’re not a dependent!
You’re different from dependents,” Su He emphasized, “I never pay dependents!”
Yue Ying looked at him in disbelief.
Is that supposed to be a point of pride?
Su He felt somewhat embarrassed, suddenly recalling that he really hadn’t given any compensation to the mermaids under his command for thirty years now.
In the past, mermaids lived in Yunmeng Ze, self-sufficient, with hunting and farming, lacking nothing for cultivation.
After moving to Long Moon Mansion, mermaids rarely ever left the grounds.
He had indeed neglected them; it was time to establish a regular allotment of resources.
Yue Ying gestured dismissively, showing a touch of emotion, and out of nowhere procured a shovel, carrying it to the base of a mountain.
She began quarrying, digging foundations, and constructing houses—all in one smooth sequence.
