Chapter 320
From this perspective, their desire for the Yin King’s Order must be related to death energy.
After all, as an artifact of the Underworld, the Yin King’s Order contains immensely powerful death energy.
This is why the death energy emitted by the fragments of the Yin King’s Order shrouded the area, causing those who came into contact with it to die one after another.
As for what Ku Yue said…
Huang Quan believed it.
If Ku Yue were awake, she wouldn’t have stayed underground.
Huang Quan looked at her: “Give me the fragment of the Yin King’s Order.”
Ku Yue took a step back and tried to flee. But as soon as she turned around, the area around her heart bone where the spell was located became scorching hot.
“You can’t escape,” Huang Quan said, “As long as I want, you’ll turn into a pile of bone dust immediately.”
Ku Yue, suppressing her fear, looked back at her: “Still, I can give you the Yin King’s Order, but you have to promise to protect me.”
Huang Quan’s expression remained indifferent: “I can get the Yin King’s Order even if I kill you.”
It was undeniable.
Huang Quan could indeed do it.
Ku Yue looked at Huang Quan, not knowing what to say. After a long pause, she said, “I can’t die.”
“There’s someone waiting for me…”
“I can’t die!”
She couldn’t remember her past life, but she remembered someone was waiting for her. So, after entering the Underworld, she voluntarily went to the wasteland.
It was full of vengeful spirits, and the Underworld allowed them to fight. The wasteland was dangerous for new souls, but it was also an excellent place for cultivation.
She had worked so hard to reach this stage and even managed to come out of the Underworld by mistake. She wasn’t willing to die just like this!
Ku Yue looked at Huang Quan: “I can’t die.”
“Please let me go!”
“I only need the Yin King’s Order,” Huang Quan said coldly. “As long as you give me the Yin King’s Order, I won’t do anything to you.”
“You won’t do anything to me,” Ku Yue said. “But those people will capture me.”
“They won’t care whether the Yin King’s Order is with me or not.”
“If they capture me, there will be no way out for me.”
“If I give you the Yin King’s Order and you don’t protect me, those people will still come after me if they don’t find the Yin King’s Order with me. However, if you protect me, I can help you deal with them when they come.”
“It won’t be a problem for you,” Ku Yue said. “I can stay by your side and assist you.”
Before Huang Quan could respond, Ku Yue returned to her previous appearance.
She looked human, with flesh and blood, seemingly no different from an ordinary person.
However, it was merely an illusion; anyone with higher cultivation than Ku Yue could see through her illusion.
“Remove the illusion,” Huang Quan said to Ku Yue. “I can protect you, but if you want me to do so, you need to agree to my terms.”
Seeing Huang Quan relent, Ku Yue immediately asked, “What are your terms?”
Huang Quan looked at her: “I will place you in a space where you can cultivate. If there is no issue, I won’t let you out.”
“You’re a dead entity. Long-term contact with living beings can be harmful. I can’t monitor you constantly to prevent you from interacting with living beings. Therefore, I can only put you in the space. If you agree, I will keep you; if not, then there’s nothing more to discuss.”
Ku Yue hesitated: “Can I really cultivate in the space?”
She wanted to cultivate a physical body quickly. If she couldn’t cultivate in the space and couldn’t come out, how long would it take to develop a physical body?
Huang Quan nodded: “Don’t worry. You can cultivate in the space.”
Moreover, it was a pity that she was worried about this when it was clearly her fault.
Chapter 321
Putting her in the space would require informing the precious one. If not, the precious one would definitely create a scene!
Making a living is not easy.
Seeing Huang Quan’s expression suddenly turn melancholic, Ku Yue thought her question had displeased Huang Quan and quickly said, “Okay, I agree.”
Huang Quan glanced at her and said, “Wait a moment.”
Then, Huang Quan turned away and contacted the precious one.
Since the last time the precious one woke up and ate those things, it had been in a deep sleep.
Although the precious one couldn’t communicate while asleep, if someone suddenly appeared in the space, it would definitely cause trouble.
So, Huang Quan had no choice but to wake the precious one.
“Master…” The precious one, forcibly awakened from its slumber, was very groggy and confused: “What’s wrong?”
Huang Quan said, “I’m preparing to put something into the space.”
The precious one, in a soft and sleepy voice, asked, “What thing?”
“A skeleton…” Huang Quan said: “A living one.”
“Oh.” The precious one responded: “Go ahead.”
“You agree?”
“I agree…”
“Wait!”
Before the precious one could finish, it suddenly woke up and asked, “Master, what did you say you want to put in?”
Huang Quan repeated what she had just said.
The precious one protested, “I don’t agree!”
The space was its private domain. What was with a living skeleton suddenly appearing?
Huang Quan knew it wouldn’t agree. She had no choice but to tell the precious one everything that had happened in detail.
After finishing, Huang Quan said, “The Yin King’s Order is very important.”
The precious one also knew the Yin King’s Order and understood that the deathly energy it released could help Huang Quan suppress the life energy.
Previously, when they were in the Underworld, it had even suggested that Huang Quan become the Yin King so they could obtain the Yin King’s Order and no longer worry about the life energy outbreak.
However, Huang Quan had no interest in becoming the Yin King, complaining that being the Yin King would restrict her freedom, and she would have to handle Underworld matters every day. In the end, it was left unresolved.
Had Huang Quan become the Yin King and obtained the Yin King’s Order, they wouldn’t have had to reside in Purgatory Mountain, and she wouldn’t have fallen into the abyss from the mountaintop and ended up in this place.
The precious one seized the opportunity to start complaining.
**What to do when the little one at home throws a tantrum?**
What else can you do? Just comfort them.
**A humble old mother, crying online.**
After the precious one calmed down, Huang Quan said, “Have you agreed?”
The precious one suddenly felt suffocated. After a long while, it said, “Next time I wake up, I want to eat more.”
Huang Quan nodded, “I’ll satisfy you.”
“I agree.”
“I’ll send her in right away.” Huang Quan thought for a moment and added, “She’s a girl, so don’t bully her.”
“Humph!”
The precious one snorted, “I’ll bully her.”
This was just to be heard, not to be taken seriously. Most of the time, the precious one was asleep, so there was no need to worry about Ku Yue actually being bullied.
After communicating with the precious one, Huang Quan turned to Ku Yue, “I’ll send you into the space.”
Ku Yue nodded and then took out the Yin King’s Order.
Looking at Huang Quan, Ku Yue was still somewhat hesitant. However, thinking that Huang Quan was the only one who could help her, Ku Yue gritted her teeth and handed over the fragment of the Yin King’s Order.
Huang Quan took the fragment from her hand, took out an antique black box, and placed the fragment inside.
The moment the box closed, the deathly energy released was blocked.
To be able to block the deathly energy released by the Yin King’s Order, this box was quite impressive.
