Xia Mingyu reacted fast. The surrouding vines came at him, which were cut into pieces by him with the Tiyue Tang Sword. Unexpectedly, the limp corpses gave up the other people who fell and rushed straight at Xia Mingyu.

Shoot! Did they regard him as a push-over? As the blade of the Tiyue Tang Sword glistened with a cold light, the limp corpses in the first row were cut in half. However, there were too many limp corpses. Without using magic, he couldn’t avoid the attack then. Very soon his arm was bitten by a limp corpse. Instantly, he felt the burning pain in his arm. He stabbed through the limp corpse with the Tiyue Tang Sword, but the wound on his arm was bleeding and made the limp corpses more excited.

He suddenly saw the blood in front of him. With his arms held on both sides, Xia Mingyu found clearly that he was unknowingly surrounded by Cao Cao and the other three persons, none of whom hid their power. The limp corpses were all destroyed and the whole cliff wall was bloodstained, reflecting the brilliance of the golden banyan tree, which appeared beautiful and yet cruel.

Restrained by Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan, Xia Mingyu was not afraid. He smiled faintly and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being known by those people?”

“Don’t worry. They will all die.” Cao Cao smiled and pointed downwards. A dozen of grave robbers had already been lying in the blood. The smell of blood stimulated the nerves of the Evil Soul, rendering the magic in the body about to surge. Xia Mingyu frowned slightly and sensed something wrong. He might go out of control then…

Guo Jia shook the foldable fan in his hand and walked towards Xia Mingyu in the air. He lifted the young man’s jaw with the foldable fan and said with a smile on his face, “Sir, you are really brave to stay calm when you see this. Is it because you feel safe? But after we get the thing on the golden tree, your friends will no longer be of any value. I wonder whether you will cry at that time?”

“Hum…” Xia Mingyu smiled and didn’t say anything. Actually, he didn’t care about other people’s life or death. This had nothing to do with him. The Evil Soul and the Heavenly Soul have their separate jobs in the body. The Heavenly Soul was sensitive with a heart and feelings, while the other only cared about power. For the Evil Soul, feelings were harmful, so he would rather give them all to the Heavenly Soul and he himself would protect the Heavenly Soul with mercilessness. This was the best balance.

Therefore, threatening or bullying him with the lives of He Nai and other people wouldn’t work at all, because he didn’t care.

“Boring. You don’t have any reaction at all.” Guo Jia’s words were filled with grievance. Cao Fu walked over and suddenly pulled Xia Mingyu’s injured hand over. Then he pierced through bite mark of the limp corpse with the sharp nail of his index finger until the bone. Immediately, the blood just gushed out.

Xia Mingyu hummed with his face gradually turning pale, feeling hundreds of times of pain due to the operation of the evil magic within his body. For a moment, he was almost out of control, but he still held it back. Not yet. He must at least hide from Yun, or what could the other self do by then?

“Alright, the toxin has been expelled.” Cao Cao looked at the blood that gradually turned from black to red, took back the black nail, licked the blood on his finger and smiled. “Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

Xia Mingyu looked at Cao Cao in confusion and didn’t understand why he did so. Why didn’t Cao Cao kill him just now? Even if he didn’t, he could still suck his blood. Why did he just helped drain the poison from Xia Mingyu’s body instead? This man was kind of beyond Xia Mingyu’s understanding…

“Master is soft-hearted again, alas.” Guo Jia shook his head, lifted Xia Mingyu’s bleeding arm and bit it. He pierced into the skin with his fangs. The feeling was not strange, but he hated it.

“Alright, Fengxiao, that’s enough.” Cao Cao said. Guo Jia finally released his teeth and reluctantly let go of Xia Mingyu, saying in a coquettish tone, “Master, I’ve been busy for so long and yet I haven’t been full yet. Why are you helping an outsider?”

Sucked a lot of blood, Xia Mingyu was a bit dizzy. He shook his head in depression. Why was it that the previous Evil Souls were always arrogant and aggressive while he was so unlucky? The blood of the Heavenly Soul really caused him too much trouble, but he couldn’t do anything to himself… It was such a pain in the ass.

“Yu!” Zhao Yun and Wu Jiuge flew over. When they saw that Xia Mingyu was caught by

Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan, their faces turned cold at the same time. Cao Cao waved his hand and then Xia Houyuan handed over Xia Mingyu.

“General Zhao, you must thank my master. Otherwise, this young man would have been eaten up by the limp corpse just now.” Guo Jia stood next to Cao Cao and laughed. Zhao Yun retracted his momentum and bowed to Cao Cao, “Well, thank you then.”

“You’re welcome. Go and check that tree.” Cao Cao said aloofly and then went down. Wu Jiuge saw the bite mark on Xia Mingyu’s hand and frowned. Before he asked anything, Zhao Yun had already held the young man and used his magic power to heal him.

Wu Jiuge couldn’t get in, so he had to stand aside. As Tengxiao under his feet shouted, Wu Jiuge felt a chill behind his back and then slashed backwards.

Cao Pi gripped the wrists of Wu Jiuge and took the snake sword away. Qiqi was so suppressed by his power of King of Corpse that it couldn’t even transform into its original shape. Wu Jiuge looked at him coldly and said, “What are you doing here? Your father has left.”

“Isn’t this because someone still owes me two lives? I have to keep my eyes. If you die, who am I going to ask for the debt?” Cao Pi slightly raised his lips. Wu Jiuge leered at him and said, “I will not die, as long as Yu is alive… Tengxiao, land.”

“Yes, copy that!” He turned back and go to the ground.

“Yun, we should leave too.” Watching Zhao Yun heal for him, Xia Mingyu had darkness arising from his slightly lowered eyes. Even the comestic contact lenses couldn’t cover the increasingly rich purple pupils. He felt so dizzy. The Kylin Pendant on his neck radiated, leaving the torching heat on his skin, which made Xia Mingyu a bit sober.

Seeing the young man’s reluctant look, Zhao Yun held him up and asked worriedly, “Yu, you look so awful. Any other injuries on you?”

“No… I’m just tired. Let’s go down and check it out.” Xia Mingyu just said that and then felt into Zhao Yun’s arms. With his red pupils suddenly shrinking, Zhao Yun hastily checked Xia Mingyu’s body with his spiritual power only to find that his spiritual power could not go into Xia Mingyu’s body. He could only watch the blurry red mark in the middle of young man’s eyebrows and a looming mark on his left collarbone. However, as it just flashed by, Zhao Yun didn’t pay much attention.

The young man didn’t seem to wake up at all. Zhao Yun got anxious and hurriedly went after Wu Jiuge with him. “Wu Jiuge!”

“Hmm?” Wu Jiuge on the ground turned around and looked at Zhao Yun in confusion. The moment that Zhao Yun landed, he hurriedly passed Xia Mingyu to Wu Jiuge. “Something is wrong with Yu. Somehow, my spiritual power can’t enter his body. Check it out.”

Zhao Yun rarely got so anxious. Everyone felt something was seriously wrong. Wu Jiuge looked it over with a frown. Then his face became more and more gloomy because he found that even as a soul keeper, he couldn’t find out what was happening to Xia Mingyu now.

The crystal coffin against the golden banyan tree, which was facing the crowd, was suddenly opened, and a person came out of it. It was Wangchuan…

“Meow! Wangchuan!” Eight Tails flung over excitedly and dabbed on the face of Wangchuan affectionately, but the latter did not react at all. After a while, he suddenly gripped Eight Tails.

“Back off!” Mu Feng came from nowhere, and threw a talisman at Wangchuan. Wangchuan threw Eight Tails away and quickly retreated. When he raised his head, it turned out that his beautiful face was covered with black cracks with his black pupils turning white, which was rather horrid. Then he patted at Mu Feng. In order not to hurt Wangchuan, Mu Feng didn’t strike harshly. However, he was injured by Wangchuan then.

“Ahem… Darn it!” Mu Feng, who was thumped to take a few steps back, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Wangchuan with concern. He Nai anxiously pinched his shoulders. “Master, what’s wrong with Wangchuan?”

“He is possessed. The female corpse in that coffin is a container for a sealed evil spirit. The evil spirit escaped from the female corpse and now it has possessed Wangchuan.”

“Evil spirit. Just exorcise her out of the body.” Wu Jiuge wanted to settle this matter quickly so that he could take Xia Mingyu out. Hence, he directly pulled three slender needles out of the tools he carried with him, and then rushed to Wangchuan.

Mu Feng quickly grabbed Wu Jiuge’s clothes and said, “Wait, don’t go near him. That evil spirit will destroy the host and then possess the nearest person!”

Wu Jiuge stopped. It became complicated then. He was fine to be possessed but if the evil spirit destroyed the host, Wangchuan would surely die.

They were in a dilemma then. As they couldn’t go near Wangchuan, how to save him?

A thought flashed through the mind of anxious He Nai and she hurriedly said, “Didn’t Eighteen just approach Wangchuan a moment ago? Why don’t we ask Eighteen to exorcise the evil spirit?”

Eight Tails got up from the ground. Just now it didn’t expect that Wangchuan would attack it, so he was attacked. Now that it was prepared, it could dodge the attack then.

Eight Tails quickly rushed to Wangchuan, and when Wangchuan raised his hands to attack, it took a turn and flew to his back. Instantly, its tail transformed into eight tails and poked at the acupuncture points on his back. As a result, Wangchuan stopped moving. Eight Tails patted the top of his head in the end. “How dare you beat me just now! Wangchuan, you must need a lesson from me!”

A transparent spirit flew out of Wangchuan’s body, and instantly it was taken into Mu Feng’s gourd. He was relieved with a sigh. Luckily, Eight Tails was here to help, or he could not exorcise the evil spirit by himself.

Wangchuan woke up and looked at the group of people in front of him in confusion. He asked hesitantly, “Master? I… I was being demented by the evil spirit. Mmm, my head aches.”

“Meow, Wangchuan, you owe me a big one. Without me, you would be dead now.” Eight Tails triumphantly came round from behind, lying in Wangchuan’s arms and licking its claws. See? It was more of use. Xia Mingyu was no match for it. Literally, he was the most useless one.

“Eighteen? I… Am dreaming?” Wangchuan couldn’t believe it, because according to his last memory, when he and Mu Feng were fighting against evil spirit, he was attacked and then lost consciousness ever since. He really didn’t know what had happened.

Eight Tails bit on Wangchuan’s finger. When Wangchuan shouted out of pain, it finally let go. “Meow, no way are you dreaming. Now you feel the pain!”

“Haha…” Wangchuan grinned. The black cracks on his face disappeared so his face returned to original status. With its eyes reflecting Wangchuan’s smile, the cat spirit was slightly dazed… Huh? Why did it feel that Wangchuan looked particularly handsome today?
