Chapter 414 Abnormality
The following day, Su Yang returned to the Underworld.
This time, Bai Wuxiang and the others did not come to greet her in any special way.
After showing her pass to the ghosts guarding the underworld, she easily made her way to the Ghost Tower.
When the guards of the Ghost Tower saw that it was her, they gestured for her to enter the Ghost Tower.
Just after entering the Ghostly Tower, six or seven cultivators emerged from within, their faces deathly pale, looking disheveled.
Su Yang ran right into them.
Seeing Su Yang's actions, the group clicked their tongues, said nothing more, and quickly left the place.
Su Yang headed to the planting area of the Soul-Nourishing Tree, her eyes filled with doubt.
These people were the ones who came to the Ghost Tower with her yesterday to investigate the Soul Nourishing Tree.
Why did they leave here in such a state of fear?
With a sense of doubt, Su Yang soon arrived at the Soul Nourishing Tree.
At first glance, Su Yang noticed something was wrong with the Soul Nourishing Tree!
The deathly aura emanating from the Soul-Nourishing Tree has become even stronger!
Is it really on the verge of decay and death?!
Beside the Soul-Nourishing Tree, there was also the blue-robed cultivator from yesterday.
Yesterday there were seven or eight cultivators, but today only Su Yang and the blue-robed cultivator from yesterday have arrived at the Ghost Nether Tower?!
"Fellow Daoist, where are the others...?"
The blue-robed cultivator was stroking his chin, gazing thoughtfully at the Soul-Nourishing Tree, when he heard Su Yang's question behind him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Fellow Daoist, you're still here?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang frowned slightly.
"Why would you say that? What do you mean... I'm still here?"
The blue-robed cultivator looked at Su Yang and raised an eyebrow with interest.
"Just before you arrived, the soul crystals on the Soul Nourishing Tree suddenly erupted, and the inexplicable power generated within them almost shattered their souls."
"A mysterious power? Shattered the soul?!"
"It's actually that bizarre?!"
Su Yang frowned as she looked at the wilted Soul Nourishing Tree not far away.
She then asked the blue-robed monk a question.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you still here? Aren't you afraid that the Soul-Nourishing Tree will unleash its power again?"
The blue-robed monk chuckled and stretched out one hand.
Su Yang looked at his hand and suddenly her eyes widened.
"You...you're a ghost cultivator?!"
The blue-robed cultivator's hand was sometimes real and sometimes illusory; it was not his physical body, but rather... a manifestation of his divine soul!
The blue-robed monk chuckled softly, his brows and eyes relaxing.
"Wrong, strictly speaking, I should be... half-human, half-ghost?"
"what?"
Even though Su Yang was not very knowledgeable, she had heard of half-human, half-demon, but she had never heard of half-human, half-ghost!
Could it be...?
A ghost and a person...
The blue-robed cultivator paused, noticing Su Yang's inexplicably indulging expression.
He began to realize what this fellow Daoist was thinking...
The blue-robed cultivator sighed helplessly and explained to Su Yang:
"Fellow Daoist, I was not born of either a human or a ghost, please don't overthink it..."
Su Yang: "Cough cough cough... What am I imagining? You're not me, how would you know what I'm thinking?"
Upon seeing this, the blue-robed monk sighed and smiled wryly.
"I was born half-human and half-ghost, but my parents are both human, that's beyond doubt."
"It is precisely because of my unique half-human, half-ghost bloodline that the soul attack fluctuations generated by the soul crystals on the Soul Nourishing Tree have no effect on me."
“But you are different, fellow Daoist. The current state of this Soul Nourishing Tree is extremely unstable. I don’t know when it will launch another indiscriminate attack on the soul.”
"I believe the underworld's ghost messengers will arrive soon. I'll try to stabilize its condition first. To prevent any accidents, you should leave the Ghost Tower first."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang frowned and looked at the blue-robed cultivator.
Judging from the tone of this half-human, half-ghost, she felt as if he was deliberately trying to drive her away...
Su Yang didn't move her feet. Only then did she suddenly realize a very serious problem!
What about the ghost guards who protect the Ghost Tower and those who watch over the Soul-Nourishing Tree?
Inside the Ghost Tower, besides Su Yang and this half-human, half-ghost cultivator, there was no one else...
She raised her eyes, looking warily at the blue-robed cultivator in front of her, and pursed her lips slightly.
The blue-robed cultivator's smile was hidden in his eyes. "Fellow Daoist, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"If we don't leave now... I can't wait any longer..."
The blue-robed monk's expression grew cold, and his tone became extremely ruthless.
Su Yang seemed to realize something, "Hehe, fellow Daoist, I'll leave now, I'll leave now."
The blue-robed monk's lips curled into a cruel smile as he said mockingly:
"But...I don't want you to leave."
However, the moment after he finished speaking...
"Waaaaahh ...
A series of piercing cries emanated from the soul crystals condensed on the Soul Nourishing Tree.
The deafening noise constantly pierced Su Yang's nerves.
boom!
The blue-robed cultivator's face was contorted with rage. His arm, which seemed to grow larger and smaller, suddenly slammed down on Su Yang.
Su Yang's eyelids twitched, and she quickly retreated, cursing inwardly at the same time.
She's so unlucky!
All she wanted to do was come to the Underworld to see the Soul-Nourishing Tree, so why did she have to encounter something like this?
She had already said she was leaving, yet this half-human, half-ghost still harbored murderous intent towards her!
A surge of agitation rose between Su Yang's brows, and in the blink of an eye, the Black Water Serpent's bone whip appeared in Su Yang's hand.
With a flick of her wrist, the snake-bone whip lashed through the air.
Snapped!
The snake bone whip instantly clashed with the blue-robed cultivator's surging divine soul palm.
The snake-bone whip, like a lifelike real snake, was usurped by that enormous divine soul's palm.
boom!
The snake bones on the snake bone whip suddenly transformed into sharp spikes, rushing straight towards the enormous divine soul palm.
Subsequently, Su Yang directly had the Silver Soul Insect attach to the Snake Bone Whip to manipulate it.
He clenched his fists and approached the blue-robed cultivator.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yang arrived in front of the blue-robed cultivator.
She clenched her fists and smashed them wildly at the blue-robed cultivator's body.
Every punch landed squarely; Su Yang could even hear the blue-robed cultivator's bones cracking.
Even so, the blue-robed monk seemed to feel no pain.
Su Yang felt a sense of unease, and then she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine!
The soul crystals on the Soul Nourishing Tree suddenly detached from the tree.
They transformed into countless snarling, black-fuming ghost infants, attempting to tear at Su Yang.
Su Yang frowned slightly as she dodged the attacks of the ghostly figures and took a few steps back.
She was surprised; how could this blue-robed cultivator manipulate the Soul-Nourishing Tree?
Su Yang looked at the blue-robed cultivator with apprehension at the ferocious ghost infant formed from the soul crystals around him.
"Heh, I really didn't expect you to survive in my hands for so long..."
"That's all there is to it! Die!"
