Chapter 224 Unrepentant Appeal (8)
"Second sister, there should have been something in the heart of this dancing goddess," Meng Yao said after observing for a moment.
"I reckon Wen Ruohan got that fragment from here. There's something strange about this Dancing Celestial Maiden." Wangyou looked at the Dancing Celestial Maiden with some doubt.
“Something’s definitely not right. She’s already accepting wishes. Look here, there are offerings of fruits and vegetables.”
Wangyou still felt something was off, so she started drawing on the ground. After drawing the appearance of the Ghost Seal from her memory, Wangyou began to analyze how many pieces the Ghost Seal had broken into.
Rumors say there are four pieces, but Wangyou thinks there should be six. The middle part is divided into two pieces. Wangyou then looked at the Dancing Celestial Maiden.
This dancing celestial maiden clearly possessed some cultivation and had developed consciousness. However, even the stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky might not necessarily be able to cultivate consciousness. Judging from its material, this stone was clearly not a rare and precious treasure.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, and there are no conditions to support the stone to become a spirit. So the final result is that the stone itself is problematic, or that the fragment that Wen Ruohan obtained was just a smokescreen.
Silver light flashed in Wangyou's eyes. Her guess was right. There was another fragment here, which was the core of the entire Ghost Seal. The spirit of the Ghost Seal should be in the center. However, the spirit looked to be seriously injured. That must be why it was devouring spiritual consciousness!
"A-Yao, step back!"
"it is good!"
Wangyou directly used Xuanmen techniques to pull out the spirit inside.
"How dare you treat me like this! I will not let you get away with this!" Unexpectedly, the spirit of the artifact was actually a child.
"Behave yourself!" Wangyou picked up the little brat. "You are the spirit of the Ghost Seal."
"No, let me go, you bad woman."
"If that's not it, then kill him!" Wangyou's palm surged with spiritual energy, ready to deliver the killing blow.
The little spirit was terrified because he could really sense the killing intent. "Don't kill me, boss. I admit it. I am the spirit of the Ghost Seal."
"You said you wouldn't get married earlier." Wangyou withdrew her spiritual power. "Why is the Ghost Seal in the human realm?"
"I don't know either. I was blown to pieces when I was conscious. I'm only in this state because it was a great feat."
"Do you remember when you last saw the Ten Kings of Hell?"
"It's been a long time, I can't remember clearly. I only remember that the last person I saw was King Qin Guang. He said that something big had happened in the underworld, and then I don't remember anything else." The little spirit tried hard to recall, but he was too badly injured, so he couldn't remember much at all.
"Alright, you stay here for now!" Wangyou took out the 2.0 version of the Soul-Binding Lamp. "Go inside and rest for a bit!"
"Okay!" The little spirit dared not disobey and went inside in a flash. Once inside, she discovered that this place could indeed nurture her spirit, so she obediently stayed there.
The spirit of the artifact disappeared, and the Dancing Celestial Maiden began to change, eventually turning into a fist-sized sculpture that looked like it was being bitten by many evil spirits.
Wangyou put the items and the two fragments away together. "Ayao, we have to go to Qishan. Hopefully, they'll be sensible and suffer less."
"Second sister, the Wen clan of Qishan has long been unpopular, and many sects in the immortal world are dissatisfied with them. Eldest brother and fourth brother are both people who hate evil, so it's too difficult to expect them to back down."
"Yes, A-Xian and Xue Yang don't seem like the type to back down, but they probably won't die anytime soon. It's good for them to suffer a little." With that thought, Wangyou stopped rushing on her way, since it wasn't far anyway.
"Second sister, why don't we eat something before we continue our journey?"
"That's a good suggestion." The two leisurely found a place, where Meng Yao set up a pot to cook rice, while Wang You took out a plate of lychees and ate them slowly.
At this time, the various sects of immortals who had been forcibly taken to Wen Clan for instruction were filled with resentment.
Lan Zhan had one leg broken, and then everyone's swords were confiscated. Wei Wuxian touched his storage bag and the flute Chenqing at his waist. Was this a sign of disrespect for his musical instrument?
Wen Chao arrogantly gave the disciples of the various sects a taste of their own medicine, making them learn the Wen family rules. The funniest part was that Wen Chao himself didn't even know the contents of his own family rules.
And so, the defiant Wei Wuxian and the defiant Lan Zhan were dragged off to dig manure, which was truly miserable.
Wei Wuxian, thinking of Wangyou's plan, did not reveal his strength. Instead, he waited for Wangyou and Meng Yao to arrive. Little did he know that the two of them were having a leisurely picnic on the way, just to make them suffer a little.
As for Xue Yang, he didn't go to Nightless City at all; instead, he went to search for the whereabouts of another fragment.
"Second sister, shouldn't we hurry?" Meng Yao said with some concern.
“Don’t worry, their strength alone is enough to take on the Nightless City. I feel that Wen Ruohan of the Qishan Wen Clan has more than one fragment, possibly two. Moreover, I feel that there is another fragment somewhere over there. If all goes well, the fragments will be complete once we reach the Nightless City.”
"Second sister, if we collect all of these, can we leave the underworld?"
“I also hope it’s that simple, but at worst we can open the Underworld. According to the spirit of the artifact, something happened in the Underworld before the Ghost Seal was lost. So, finding all the fragments of the Ghost Seal is only part of the solution. The most important thing is to figure out what happened to the Underworld in this world.” Wangyou felt like her head was about to explode.
"Host, why don't you take a look at the plot?" Duobao suggested timidly.
"What did the plot say about why things happened between Heaven and the Underworld?"
"No, but you can try to find the protagonist. He has great luck and should be able to help," Duobao said happily.
"You think I don't know that I'm being taught by you? I have two male leads and two major villains with me, okay?"
"Host, how did you know? Did you secretly watch the plot?"
"Why would I need to peek? I can tell just by looking at their luck." Wangyou unilaterally blocked the system. She was increasingly suspicious that her system was a new one. What old system was as clueless as hers, unless it had some kind of super connections?
What Wangyou didn't know was that she had inadvertently guessed part of the truth.
"Second sister, let's go together then."
"Of course, the world doesn't belong to me alone. Of course, I should pull everyone together to save the world," Wangyou said with a smile.
Although the two dawdled on the road for a long time, they still arrived at the foot of the Everlasting Sky Mountain on the evening of the second day.
"Come on, put on an invisibility talisman and go inside to take a look." Wangyou took a picture of an invisibility talisman for each of them, and then the two of them went to check the situation separately.
Wangyou went to where Wen Ruohan was, while Meng Yao went to find Wei Wuxian and the others.
Wen Ruohan's residence was almost completely surrounded by puppets, all of them "people" covered in patterns. Their spiritual consciousness had been destroyed, and they could not be saved in the future.
Wangyou never quite understood why some people always wanted to dominate the world. Take Wen Ruohan, for example. The Qishan Wen Clan was already the head of all the immortal sects, but he was still not satisfied. He wanted everyone to submit to him and become puppets who would not resist.
