Chapter 148 The Underworld

At the same time, far away in the Yin-Yang Realm.

Han Jiangxue's eyes suddenly went dark, as if she had been deprived of her sight, unable to see anything at all.

But her world lit up instantly, a field of ice-blue lines.

Is this... is this the Humm Whale telling me something?

The others looked up at the Humm Whale descending from the sky and swimming down quickly.

Han Jiangxue's mind raced. In the ice-blue world of her mind, a topographical environment was outlined.

Not just a scene, but also a thoughtful map route. The ice-blue world suddenly zoomed out, moving rapidly south, eventually arriving at the terrain of the Yin-Yang Realm where they were.

Jiang Gong shouted, "Dark Space Instant Guard, now!"

Han Jiangxue immediately understood Jiang Xiao's intention. She activated Dark Space Instant Guard, teleporting according to the environment and route outlined in her mind.

Team Wei Yu arrived on horseback, only to find no trace of Jiang Xiao.

Well... until now, Jiang Xiao, in his extreme stealth, had not yet shown himself, but was still high in the sky, observing the situation from the back of the solitary whale...

Team Wei Yu saw the slender Marta entangled with a blood-colored bat.

To call it entanglement, well... the scene was quite interesting.

Marta stood in mid-air, her fingers wrapped in strands of slender currents.

And directly above the blood-colored bat was a small ball of water, which split into four slender streams, flowing down in an arc, connecting and closing below.

Star Technique: Sea Soul Prison!

And the burning blood-colored bat was greatly disturbed by the karma fire. It struggled to break free from Marta's Sea Soul Prison while fighting against the mental devastation of the karma fire.

Jiang Xiao was certain that if it weren't for the "help" of the karma fire, this person might have already broken free and escaped.

The blood-colored bat imprisoned in Marta's palm squeaked and screamed in pain. The same situation was also happening in Team Wei Yu!

Waves of painful murmurs continued. Yi Qingchen curled up, lying on her side on the ground, the karma fire still burning on her body.

At this moment, she couldn't care about her surroundings, not even knowing where she was.

And the cloak she had thrown out earlier had also covered her body, determined to share weal and woe with its master.

Of course, the cloak was also helpless. It found that it could not extinguish the flames burning on its master's body no matter what it did.

However... the cloak's actions actually had another effect, at least it could cover Yi Qingchen's body. Her pitch-black Night Watch uniform had been burned away by the karma fire...

Yi Qingchen endured the pain, pulled open the hood on her head with one hand, and waved her hand violently.

A golden, illusory staff struck her own head with a "thump."

Yi Qingchen's eyes widened. She had thought that with the help of the golden staff, she could dispel some of the pain, but in reality, the golden staff, which cleared her mind and sharpened her vision, made Yi Qingchen's experience of the karma fire even clearer...

To deal with Hell Ghosts, Xie Yan or Song Chunxi should really be sent!

Star Warriors of the Black Rock Mountain lineage are certainly not immune to the suffering of karma fire, but they can definitely withstand this level of physical and mental pain.

At least Star Warriors of the Black Rock Mountain lineage are mentally prepared.

Yi Qingchen's ravaged appearance worried the others in the team. Fu Hei was also healing Yi Qingchen non-stop, but Fu Hei also understood that what Yi Qingchen lacked was not medical treatment, but spiritual healing.

In contrast, Yi Qingchen's own blessing star technique was the best solution to the problem.

Yi Qingchen was still enduring, while Han Jiangxue in the team had already started a massacre.

"Down!"

As soon as Han Jiangxue arrived, guided by the Humm Whale's information, she threw out a huge star power character!

With perfect coordination, Marta immediately flickered and disappeared.

And the blood-colored bat burning with karma fire was directly smashed into a human form by this "down" character!

"Aaaaaah..." Miserable screams rang out incessantly. The bat's squeaking cries turned into human screams.

It was unknown whether the man was in pain from being smashed by the character or from being burned by the karma fire.

Han Jiangxue wore a pitch-black cloak, her eyes under the hood overflowing with incomparable coldness.

She knew that Jiang Xiao had finally found the guy who was plotting in the dark!

Han Jiangxue didn't hold back at all. With a wave of her left hand, five star power iron chains appeared out of thin air, surrounding the man.

Gala... Gala...

In the process of the star power iron chains stretching, they were accompanied by the sound of steel rubbing against each other.

One by one, precisely wrapped, tightly binding the man's neck, hands, and feet!

Han Jiangxue swung a "Tai" character with her right hand, and the five fingers of her left hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

"Pfft..." The man burning with karma fire suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

But the five iron chains didn't show any mercy, pulling back frantically, as if to tear the man apart!

Peace!

Another huge star power character, "Peace," infinitely overlapped with "Tai"!

In the gloomy ghost area shrouded in black mist, five icy iron chains pinned a figure burning with karma fire firmly in the air.

What a Han Wu Jiu! (Han the Blameless)

Wherever she goes, there is indeed peace under heaven!

The stranger was smashed, his clothes torn, covered in blood, and had already given up resisting, without making a sound.

Uh... of course, he might want to speak, but the iron chain around his neck was too tight, and he was choked...

Nearby, Jiang Gong rode his horse forward, coming to Han Jiangxue's side.

He carefully leaned down, grabbed the black hood on her head with both hands, and smoothed it upwards, as if trying to squeeze out a rectangular black hat...

......

The karma fire, which had lasted for a full 60 seconds, finally went out.

Yi Qingchen curled up on the ground, opened her dazed eyes, her gaze still a little trance-like, but she saw a kneeling figure in front of her.

Yi Qingchen looked up slightly, seeing Jiang Xiao's apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Xiao reached out and helped Yi Qingchen sit on the ground, gently embracing her, and said softly in her ear, "This should have been my job. I'm sorry I made you suffer."

Yi Qingchen's mental state was not very good, but the words she spoke made Jiang Xiao feel even more distressed.

She hugged Jiang Xiao tightly, her voice very soft, a little trembling, "Even if you have Silence now, I should be the one to restrain that Hell Ghost. After all, you still have to command and lead the whole team."

Jiang Xiao was silent for a long time, and said, "Next time, when we see the Hachifang Hell Ghost, let's just go around it. Anyway, once they open the Karma Fire star technique, they can't turn it off. They will be burned to ashes sooner or later."

Yi Qingchen sighed softly and whispered, "Pi Pi, I am your disciple, but I am also a Night Watch soldier, a Light Chaser. How can I retreat when I encounter difficulties?

If we just go around one when we see one, then the Hachifang Hell will be full of Hell Ghosts. When will we be able to clean them up?

They are all Diamond-level creatures, with terrifyingly tenacious vitality. When will they burn themselves out?"

Saying that, Yi Qingchen sat up straight, looked at Jiang Xiao, and showed a comforting smile.

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's change our plan. Next time we see a Hell Ghost, you use Blessing to assist me, just restrain the Hell Ghost's actions.

Blessing is a medical star technique, it won't let you get infected with Karma Fire. When the time comes, I will stab them to death."

Star beasts such as dragons and horses are indeed very strong in output, but compared to humans, they are likely to go crazy.

Human star warriors at least know what they are resisting and can control themselves, but other star beasts are likely to explode once they are infected with karma fire.

Er Wei's voice suddenly came over, "You are the commander, and you don't have Endurance right now, it's easy for something to happen. Standing in the commander's position, you have to think clearly before making a decision, and be responsible for the whole team."

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, "In that case... or I'll go find Xie Yan! Let Yi Qingchen assist him."

"Xie Yan?" Hou Mingming, using the star power handcuffs provided by Jiang Shou, cuffed the stranger whose karma fire had been extinguished, and was walking towards Jiang Xiao's Shadow of Calamity World Gate, but heard a familiar name.

Hou Mingming's footsteps stopped slightly, curiously looking at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, our national team teammate. He's in my Shadow of Calamity World right now."

Er Wei opened her mouth and said, "Why are you looking for this person?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "The suffering of Black Rock Mountain, for us students of the Imperial Capital Star Martial Academy, is just a short seven-day fake military training.

But for Xie Yan... he makes a living from it.

Since I can't charge into battle, then let's hand the problem over to a professional."

Er Wei nodded and said, "Since there is such a special talent, then ask for his opinion. After all, there are many Hell Ghosts in the Hachifang Hell.

You can let Jiang Xun, who is stationed at Yegu Pagoda, ask around. See who in the army is a Star Warrior of the Black Rock Mountain lineage. We can transfer a few over to help."

Nearby, Yi Qingchen stubbornly said, "I'm just not used to being infected with karma fire for the first time. I'll adjust soon, believe me.

As long as I can endure it, with one Silence down, any Hell Ghost will be smashed to smithereens by us. They don't have any defensive star techniques..."

"Heh." Jiang Xiao smiled and reached out, rubbing Yi Qingchen's short hair, and didn't respond.

Jiang Xiao turned his head, looked at Hou Mingming and Sun Dasheng, who were suppressing the unconscious man, and said, "You all go in. You've fought all night, it's time for a rest, and interrogate this stranger by the way."

Er Wei instructed, "Leave someone to guard, to avoid the team being ambushed when they come out."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry. After you all go in, Marta, Shadow Crow, and I will flicker to a safe place to open the door."

In order to avoid eavesdropping, Jiang Xiao didn't say where he would flicker to.

He continued, "By the way, I don't have Tears of Sorrow. You have to personally handle this interrogation."

"Okay." Er Wei took the task and quickly entered the Shadow of Calamity World with everyone.

Jiang Xiao also released star power threads, taking Marta and the Shadow Crow on her shoulder, and flickered.

The Shadow Crow opened its lonely eyes, stupidly looking up. What did it see?

Blackboard? Desks and chairs?

This is... a teaching building?

Marta looked around vigilantly and said, "Let's settle down here. There shouldn't be anyone here, but it's still good to be vigilant. Let's not go into the Shadow of Calamity World. We'll wait for them to come out."

The Shadow Crow also transformed into a human, with a look of astonishment on its face, and said, "Where is this?"

Marta glanced at the Shadow Crow, reached out and patted the dust off the chair, and said, "Liao Lian, the teaching building of the Northern Military Academy."

Shadow Crow: "......"

Marta said, "We don't know if anything is following us, and we are also full of ghost energy right now. Let's not go back to the military camp for now."

The Shadow Crow nodded. It knew that what Marta said wasn't about real ghosts following them, but that in that strange environment, no one knew if other Star Warriors had used any strange star techniques on them.

In this situation, returning to the military camp rashly was certainly not the right choice.

Marta seemed relaxed, sitting in the chair, her long legs propped up on the desk in front of her, but her eyes were scanning around, looking suspicious, constantly examining the surrounding environment.

The Shadow Crow laughed, looking at Marta's bold appearance, and said, "You didn't learn anything good from Er Wei. Every time I go to her office to report a mission, she's in this half-dead state."

Marta glanced at the Shadow Crow and said a faint "Hmm."

The Shadow Crow was startled, rubbed its eyes, and suddenly, for a moment, it really thought that Er Wei was sitting in front of it.

Hearing this nasal sound, the Shadow Crow subconsciously wanted to admit its mistakes...

At the same time, in Jiang Xiao's Shadow of Calamity World.

Across the Tropic of Cancer on the ancient island, Jiang Xiao's sudden appearance attracted a group of guarding soldiers.

"Regimental Commander Jiang!"

"Regimental Commander Jiang!" A team of soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted, the look in their eyes not only filled with respect between superiors and subordinates, but also with a strong sense of gratitude.

Jiang Xiao quickly returned the salute, signaling everyone to relax.

He looked around, looking at the tree city that had been established, and the civilians on both sides of the street, watching this side, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Although... these civilians were all strangers to Jiang Xiao.

But Jiang Xiao, who had just come out of the Fengdu Ghost Area, felt an unprecedented warmth.

Humans are indeed social animals.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, feeling the sun shining on his face. He stretched out his hands, took a deep breath. Is this what is called "human warmth"?

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what kind of madness this kid was up to...

Just as Jiang Xiao was bathing in the sunshine, enjoying the bustling streets of the tree city, another team of guards arrived.

"Here he comes, Little Pi." Xie Yan looked at Jiang Xiao, who was embracing the sun in a mystical manner, and said.

Jiang Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Xie Yan, "I'm here to ask you for help."

Xie Yan was still a man of few words: "Okay."

Jiang Xiao: "I haven't said what I'm asking you to help with."

Xie Yan silently looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "As long as you ask, no matter what."

Jiang Xiao nodded heavily: "Okay!"
