Hell Emperor

Chapter 24 Nan Linghe-Challenge

As the incomparably huge baptismal spiritual power surged out from the Book of Life and Death like a torrent of river water, and then converged towards Nan Linghe's body, everyone nearby, whether it was the wandering soul who completed the tearing of the Book first, or the Xie Xinyu, who made a mockery, was shocked by the surge of spiritual power, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"What's going on? I have never seen such a vision in spiritual baptism..."

"Just now it was just a third-level baptism, but the surge of spiritual power it emitted brought shocking visions. Now the spiritual power and vision are far better than before. Is it possible that the gift-washing level is higher than the third-level?"

"Who knows what that person did when she tore up the book? I only saw her deliberately throwing the book of life and death to the ground. Is it because of this that she can obtain high-level spiritual power baptism?"

Listening to everyone's exclamations one after another, even Xie Xinyu looked a little uncertain at this moment, and there was a panic in his heart: "This is impossible... This is a sign of first-class baptism. What did she do? Why can she do it? To receive such a gift?”

It's a pity that no one can answer Xie Xinyu's doubts at this moment. Even though her heart has stirred up a storm, she can only stay where she is, staring blankly at Nan Linghe, who is enveloped in huge spiritual power.

"How? Now you should understand that there are people outside the world?" Ye Jie came behind her at some point and spoke slowly.

"Hey..." Ye Jie's words were met with a cold glance from Xie Xinyu. She reached out and took out the fragment of page she had just torn off. Soon, there was a vibration in the fragment of page in Ye Jie's arms.

Ye Jie took out the remaining page and saw it written on it:

[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Gui Chajie received a thousand yin virtues from Gui Chaiyu. 】

[Current Yin De: six thousand]

"I'm willing to admit defeat. This time I underestimated her. I didn't expect that her method of tearing off the broken pages was so special. Even I couldn't understand the mystery. However, other than her, other wandering souls can't enter me. "

Seeing that he lost, Xie Xinyu didn't bother much and readily handed over the lost virtue to Ye Jie.

At this time, Nan Linghe ran over with a face of joy. After being baptized by first-class spiritual power, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of the first-order peak, which was only a small level behind Ye Jie. She raised the bronze token in her hand high, with the word "Crane" engraved on it, which was obviously her ghost order.

"Brother Jie, have you seen this? I finally became an official ghost servant..." Nan Linghe's face was full of joy.

Ye Jie smiled approvingly and clasped his fists in congratulations: "Now you have become an official ghost master. With your talent and given time, you may have the opportunity to ascend to the position of ghost fairy. Then I am here to congratulate you, ghost master."

Facing Ye Jie's congratulations, Nan Linghe smiled brightly. The corners of his eyes were as curved as crescent moons, and there was a softness like water hidden in the ripples of light. However, he heard an unconvinced hum:

"Ghost Crane, right? I remember you. This time, even if I am not good at practicing, you will win one head. This is my Ghost Crane Order, and I will challenge you again!"

Looking around, he saw a dark token thrown from the air. Nan Linghe held his head with both hands and squatted on the ground with a groan. Ye Jie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stretched out his hand and accurately grasped the thrown token in his hand. I turned my wrist and saw the word "rain" engraved on the token.

After confirming that there was no danger, poor Nan Linghe straightened up and looked at Ye Jie with helpless eyes: "Ugh...why did she hit me with something?"

Ye Jie shook his head: "She didn't mean to hit you, but she left you a ghost token. With this token, she can quickly contact you. It seems that she is very unconvinced by this failure and wants to Challenge you again."

"Ah, what should I do?" Nan Linghe looked at Ye Jie at a loss.

"Don't worry, I believe in your luck, you will definitely win!" Ye Jie was full of confidence in her. Since Xie Xinyu has no intention of repenting and will continue to send gifts of kindness, then he must accept them all with a smile.

After comforting Nan Linghe, Ye Jie asked Xie Xinyu: "How do you want to compare?"

"It's just better than next year's performance ranking for the whole year! The one with the lower ranking will give all the virtues gained throughout the year to the other party. How about it? Do you dare to take it?" Xie Xinyu crossed his arms in front of him, and there was something in his words. Very provocative.

Nan Linghe couldn't make up his mind, so he had to look at Ye Jie for help. Of course Ye Jie would not refuse: "What's wrong with you? But if you lose, you have to apologize to Nan Linghe for what you did today. "

Xie Xinyu was unhappy, turned his head and said: "Okay! I want to see what you are going to do to win against me this time."

After saying that, she turned and left. Nan Linghe, who stayed where he was, could only look at Ye Jie with puzzled eyes. What on earth was he going to do to win her?

"Anyway, let's go get the mission quickly. With your talents and magical powers, you should be able to get a good mission." Ye Jie reminded, and took out a black stone and a dead branch from his arms. It's the trophy he got from the boy not long ago. "These are the Shukuchi Stone and Qingmingzhi. Ghosts use them to travel back and forth between the human world. If they are used up, they need to consume Yin De to replenish them. Ordinary soul-inducing tasks can be done." Reimburse the consumption of Shukuchi Stone and Qingmingzhi."

Nan Linghe took it, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She had seen Ye Jie use these two magic weapons, but this was the first time she tried them with her own hands.

Under the leadership of Ye Jie, the two quickly arrived at the task list. Looking at the dazzling array of tasks on the list, Nan Linghe was simply dazzled.

Ye Jie pointed to the notices of different sizes on the list and introduced to her: "Now that you have become an official ghost officer, you can take on any tasks on this list at will. With your current strength, it is best to take on level C, D-level missions, A-level and B-level missions are very difficult. If you are not careful against level 3 or 4 enemies, you may be in danger of losing your soul. Of course, the higher the level of the mission, the greater the reward will be. many……"

After a pause, Ye Jie continued: "However, there are exceptions. There are also tasks in Class A that are rich in rewards but very simple to complete. When ordinary ghosts accept tasks, they must be careful and carefully consider whether the rewards of the tasks are It’s appropriate, and you also have to consider whether you can bear the penalty of mission failure, but you don’t have to worry about it, just close your eyes and choose one!”

Ye Jie is full of confidence in Nan Linghe's innate magical powers. For her, closing her eyes and making random choices can get the right results. Once she thinks hard, she will do bad things.

Ye Jie rubbed his hands, and bursts of black clouds emerged from his palms. He covered his palms in front of Nan Linghe's face, and spiritual power surged in his body. After taking his hands away, thick black clouds sealed Nan Linghe's face. Crane's eyes.

Nan Linghe touched his face curiously, and kept groping forward with his hands: "Brother Jie, why did it suddenly get dark?"

"Don't worry, everything will return to normal after you choose a mission." Ye Jie straightened her body and asked her to walk towards the mission list ahead with a look on her face.

Nan Linghe waved her hands wildly, staggering forward as if she was drunk, and grabbed a mission notice at random. Ye Jie immediately stepped forward and dispersed the black cloud that blocked her sight.

Looking down at the notice, Nan Linghe was a little puzzled: "Brother Jie, is a Class A mission the best mission?"

"Wait...show me."

Ye Jie was stunned. The rewards for Level A missions are generous, but the danger and failure penalty are unmatched by other missions. If you receive any dangerous mission, it will be difficult to handle, even if it is a fourth-level Black and White Impermanence , and I can’t guarantee that I will be able to complete the first-class mission without any injuries.

Ye Jie stepped forward and took a look at the contents of the notice. He breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the broken page in Nan Linghe's arms shook slightly. She took out the broken page and was surprised to find that new ink marks were emerging on the broken page.

[Records in the Book of Life and Death:]

[In the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Gui Chahe takes on a Class A mission: identity identification]

[Mission brief description: The ghost mission captured the mysterious wandering soul in the human world. There is no record in the book of life and death, and it cannot be thrown into the well of reincarnation. The judge is worried about it. Those who accept the task must find out the identity and origin of the mysterious wandering soul within three years. 】

[Task reward: 200,000 Yin De]

[Penalty for failure: deduction of 200,000 Yin De]

"Judging from the mission description, this is not a dangerous mission. Although it is a Class A mission, even ordinary ghost missions have a chance to complete it. However, the punishment for mission failure is quite harsh and prohibitive... One year for ordinary ghost missions You can also earn 10,000 yin virtues. If you can complete this task, you can earn 200,000 yin virtues, which is equivalent to the reward of an ordinary ghost laborer for twenty years, which is enough for you to defeat Xie Xinyu in the competition. "

Seeing the mission information in his eyes, Ye Jie felt happy. As long as he completed the mission within one year, he would be rewarded with 200,000 Yin De, which was enough for Nan Linghe to win the competition.

Soon, a ghost in the palace brought a strange-looking first-order wandering soul to the two of them.

Ye Jie looked at Wandering Soul up and down, and saw that she had snow-white hair, and her long hair was scattered around her waist. Her pupils were blood-red like an evil ghost. Her eyes did not look fierce, but rather melancholy. Her hands were tightly tied with dark ropes, and her feet were also shackled, making it impossible for her to escape.

Nan Linghe also saw the mission target, and a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes. Even in the underworld where ghosts gathered, she had never seen such a special-looking wandering soul.

Ye Jie frowned and expressed his opinion: "She looks very special, different from any living being I have ever seen... By the way, let me use the power of the Book of Life and Death to find out her details."

Ye Jie took out the broken page and put it in the hand of the white-haired wandering soul. A new record soon appeared on the broken page. After taking back the remaining page, I looked at the content on it and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

[Book of Life and Death Archives:]

【Name:? ? ? 】

[Rank:? ? ? 】

[Fights learned:? ? ? 】

[Innate magical power:? ? ? 】

[Yin De:? ? ? 】

"This is impossible. How come there is no file?"

Ye Jie glanced at the white-haired wandering soul in front of him, and pasted the broken page on her hand again. The result on it still remained unchanged.

After trying to no avail, Ye Jie shook his head: "I finally understand why this task can be ranked in Class A. Let alone me using the book of life and death to investigate, even if the judge comes to investigate, I'm afraid there will be no results... This It’s troublesome, if you can’t even use the book of life and death, where can you find clues?”

Ye Jie frowned, until he saw Nan Linghe beside him, he suddenly realized: "I understand. Maybe others can't find out the origin of the mysterious wandering soul, but it is easy for you. Let's go back to the wine first. Let’s think of another solution.”

On the side, Nan Linghe opened her curious eyes and stared at the white-haired wandering soul with empty eyes. It wasn't until Ye Jie's words came to her ears that she raised her head in confusion: "What are we going to do?"

Ye Jie didn't answer, but took her and the white-haired wandering spirit back to the basement of the wine country quickly. From the sundries that he had checked earlier, he found the map of the Tang Dynasty that Yulan used when searching for her parents.

After hanging the map on the wall and giving the hung long bow and arrows to Nan Linghe, Ye Jie said with satisfaction: "It's up to you now. Maybe other ghosts will be interested in the white-haired traveler." The origin of the soul is unclear and I don’t know where to start, but with your ability, you should be able to find out the address of the wandering soul.”

Hearing this, Nan Linghe nodded happily. She followed the method taught by Ye Jie, closed her eyes, opened her bow and nocked an arrow. When the bowstring vibrated, the arrow missed the target and stuck on the wall nearby.

Nan Linghe covered his mouth and exclaimed, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the arrow: "I'm sorry, Brother Jie, I'd better shoot another arrow..."

Ye Jie waved his hand: "No, your arrow will not be wrong, so there is only one possibility left for the answer. She is not from Nanzhan Buzhou, but from other areas... This is a bit difficult to deal with. If you want to cross a continent, you need to pass through the unbreakable earth barrier. Only existences at the immortal level can do this. The Shukuchi Stone in the hands of Onizashi cannot cross the earth barrier, even if we check it. When we got to her address, there was no way to go check it out.”

Nan Linghe was slightly surprised: "In this case, what should we do... Could it be that my first mission will fail..."

As she spoke, Nan Linghe puffed up her mouth and drooped her ears. She was immersed in the anguish of mission failure. It wasn't until Ye Jie patted her on the shoulder that her expression improved.

"Don't worry, the mission lasts for three years, and the competition with Xie Xinyu also has a one-year deadline. You have enough time to complete the mission." Ye Jie comforted her. There was still plenty of time, and it was too early to give up now. .

Soon, Ye Jie set his sights on the white-haired wandering soul. Since the detection method was ineffective, he could only find another solution from her body and asked: "What is your name?"

Facing Ye Jie's inquiry, the white-haired wandering soul said nothing and his eyes were indifferent.

Ye Jie added: "I can help you. Do you have anything to say? Or...do you understand what I say?"

Seeing that the white-haired wandering soul looked confused and didn't pay attention to his own question, Ye Jie scratched his head, as if he couldn't communicate with her, and the situation became complicated.

"Anyway, you should try to communicate with her first and see if you can get any news. In any case, this is a big task for 200,000 Yin De. I am going to the human world now."

Ye Jie reminded, seeing Nan Linghe set his sights on Wandering Soul, he left with peace of mind.
