Chapter 525 Secrets?

After the smoke cleared, the twisted phantom was gone and replaced by…a little black pig.

It was just an ordinary black pig, just like black pigs in the farmyard.

Seeing the pig on the ground, Wen Hun felt the blood rising to the head and dizzy. He thought that it was a terrible insult for his hundred-year-long practice.

“Is…it the Immortal of Ghost enshrined by Master?”

The phantom of the little black pig on the ground uplifted the ass, and walked slowly to the Hong Baizhu. Then it threw itself down at its feet in admiration like a human being, “Your Majesty, I…”

Before it finished speaking, it saw the little girl hiding behind Su Li in fear.

Although she was also afraid of Su Li, at least Su Li would not eat her for the time being, while this “black pig” was of the same kind as her.

Since they were of the same kind, they would eat each other.

“This little girl doesn’t remember you.”

Su Li pulled the little girl in her arms, and said in a smooth but indisputable tone, “You don’t have to kneel down. Whether the Immortal Cultivation Sect or you, it seems that you all will have troubles. I have nothing to do now, so I am willing to grant you this favor. Now I ask, and you answer me. Is that clear?”

The little black pig nodded in a hurry. It was good that the Emperor of Human Clan in front of him was willing to help.

As for the consequence… it would not be worse than being swallowed by the thing in the deep mountain.

“Good. What is hid in the deep mountain? Where did He Jiu go?”

The little black pig saw Wen Hun besides Su Li, and didn’t dare to lie, “Since the Lihen Tablet was erected, the Qingshui Circle has been changed, and it is no longer suitable for us to live. Fortunately, when I was about to die due to depletion, Yinsi in Yin Mountain transmitted sound to me that he was willing to help me with blood and flesh. However, Yinsi was sealed in the deep Yin Mountain. Besides, there was a tactical matrix set up by the Human Clan outside the Yin Mountain, and I was not able to get in.

In desperation, I could only make an agreement with the Immortal Cultivation Sect that they enter the mountain to take bloody flesh to support me, and I share some blood and flesh with them. But He Jiu must keep the secret and prevent people from discovering me. Otherwise, I will be penalized by the Human Clan, and this Sect will also be destroyed.

He Jiu promised me. He kept his words and kept a low profile. Immortal Cultivation Sect and I were interdependent and got on well with each other at first. But later…”

The little black pig’s eyes darkened, “The Human Clan ate blood and flesh of Yinsi to improve their souls. However, after all, human beings were different with ghosts. Because eating too much blood and flesh, many disciples in the Sect died off. And it prompted a new ghost which could be adapted to the Qingshui Circle unexpectedly!”

At this point, Su Li had a speculation in her heart, but she didn’t speak it and listened to the little black pig quietly.

“That newly born ghost, cruel but forbearing, was very powerful. It possessed the first disciple of He Jiu and sneaked into the Yin Mountain with the intention of devouring Yinsi. However, Yinsi was not the one to be trifled with. Even in a weak state, he sealed the ghost. After that, He Jiu would go to the Mountain to perform routine worship and consolidate the seal every one hundred year.”

“That new ghost hates me, Yinsi and the Sect very much. Every time He Jiu consolidated the seal, there would be some troubles in the Sect. However, it’s the fiercest one this time! I know that rotten flesh, and it is an ability of the new ghost. If I was absorbed by it, I would be delirious and do irrevocable things.”

The little black pig trembled, and an expression of fear flashed in its eyes, “If you didn’t happen to come to this Sect, I am afraid that not only the Immortal Cultivation Sect, but the entire Jiuzhou Region would be in trouble.”

Su Li waved her hand with an indifferent expression, and said calmly, “How did the ghosts in the book pavilion appear? You said you made an agreement with He Jiu, who is only more than 3,000 years old, but the ghosts in the book pavilion are four or five thousand years old. Do not tell me that those were also prompted by disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect.”

Originally, the little black pig wanted to fooled her. To its surprise, Su Li even knew the ages of those ghosts. So, it shook head and told the truth.

“Of course not. It was not a book pavilion, but modeled on the Cangyin Tower in ancient times. The ghosts hiding in it would not be affected by the Qingshui Circle. There were also many precious secrets that only ghosts could practice. It was not open to the disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect originally, but later, it was opened to them somehow.”

“Well…”

Su Li nodded lightly, and the light flickered in her eyes, “Then why don’t you hide in it, but suffer under the ground?”

With light flashing in the little black pig’s eyes, it said bitterly, “I’m willing to hide in it, but my body is too big to hide in the fake Cangyin Tower.”

Su Li nodded and accepted the answer. After a short silence, she asked, “If I want to save the Immortal Cultivation Sect, what should I do?”

“Your Excellency, you are righteous!”

The little black pig became excited, and got down on two front legs, as if to kneel, “If the ghost in the Yin Mountain can be exterminated, everything will be solved by itself. Your Excellency, please help the Immortal Cultivation Sect to tide over the difficulty!”

Phew…

Wen Hun took a long sigh of relief. Hearing this, he finally understood the essence of Immortal Cultivation Sect, and couldn’t help looking at Su Li with hope.

Su Li looked back and smiled at him. Then she turned around with her face returning to indifference, “Don’t worry. Even if it’s for the senior fellow apprentice, I won’t let it go. You should withdraw to have a rest. I will go to Yin Mountain soon.”

“Thanks, Your Excellency!”

Since the little black pig accomplished his purpose, it did not stay and returned to the deep under the ground in the blink of an eye with his figure dissipating.

“Senior Fellow Apprentice, the new ghost is not going to attack for a while. There is no need to guard the hall for the time being. Let’s go back to make an adjustment first, and then go to the Yin Mountain tomorrow.”

Wen Hun nodded and looked around. He couldn’t help sighing when seeing the hall of the lord that was almost destroyed. Then he left.

After leaving the main peak, Wen Hun went to pacify the disciples. After all, the movement of the main peak had caused many people to stop and watch.

Su Li returned to the residence. Standing in front of her yard, she looked at the deep mountain in the distance.

“Little Su Li, are you really going to go to the Yin Mountain to kill that ghost tomorrow?”

Black Lotus couldn’t help rushing out, and asked with a strange look. Su Li in his eyes was not a warm-hearted person. “For the sake of senior fellow apprentice to protect the Immortal Cultivation Sect”, only ghosts would believe!

Well, the black pig was exactly a ghost…

“I must go to the Yin Mountain.”

Su Li chuckled. But she didn’t answer whether to kill the new ghost or not.

Black Lotus rolled his eyes and knew that this girl had a black heart. She might not believe the little pig at all, but just found a good reason to enter the Yin Mountain.

Early the next morning, many disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect were ready at the foot of the Yin Mountain. They knew more or less the inside story. Although they were still ordinary disciples on the surface, they were deeply trusted by the lord.

Soon Wen Hun and Su Li came together. The leading middle-aged practitioner greeted them and said with a worried expression, “Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice, you must be careful. Even if…you don’t find the lord, you must be back before dark!”

Everyone knew the horrific scenes in the Yin Mountain after dark. Even if Wen Hun’s physique was special, he might not be able to bear it, unless he found He Jiu before that.

Wen Hun nodded. The middle-aged practitioner glanced at Su Li beside him, who had been joined the Sect for a short time. He felt it was strange, but he asked no questions.

After all, threatened by all kinds of terrific things in the Sect, the people full of curiosity had all died off.

All the disciples arranged the Extreme Yang Tactical Matrix, which would do little harm to people. It didn’t mean it had no harm. For Wen Hun, the half-human and half-ghost existence, he must enter it after it was opened. Otherwise, he would be burned by the Tactical Matrix before he entered the Yin Mountain.

“Eight gates of Extreme Yang, open!”

The middle-aged practitioner yelled and made finger gestures. A white light shot into the Tactical Matrix. Ripples on the transparent barrier fell apart from the center and formed a small gate for one person to enter.

Seeing this, Wen Hun no longer hesitated and took Su Li to enter it.

Swish!

The small gate closed again. The middle-aged practitioner was drenched in sweat, and panted on the ground. A strange smile registered on his face and disappeared in an instant. Others, who were resting, did not see it.

…

“Puff!”

The gray blade cut the ghost like a wolf into two from the head instantly, and then the ghost turned into black smoke and dissipated.

“It should be a new ghost that formed lately.”

Wen Hun put away the blade, and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he landed, he saw a mouth full of sharp fangs. In shock, he pulled the blade and cut it without saying anything. To his surprise, the little ghost died immediately. He had never hacked ghosts to death. So, it meant this wolf was very weak.

“However, Master once said that although there were a lot of ghosts in the Yin Mountain, it is not easy to meet them. Why did we run into one as soon as we came in?”

He frowned and looked at Su Li beside him. Su Li’s shadow, which was eating, hid immediately. She smiled, “Keeping walking, we will know the answer.”

“Ok.”

Wen Hun nodded, and then hesitated to speak. After he walked a little further following Su Li, he finally couldn’t help asking, “What …should I…call you?”

Although he didn’t know the true meaning of “Emperor of Human Clan”, he could imagine that it was probably a realm that he couldn’t reach in his life. Otherwise, how could the horrible Immortal of Ghost, who had lived for thousands of years, show himself, say kind words and even grovel?

Such a mighty person, even if she didn’t care about it, it was difficult for him to call her “junior sister apprentice”.

Su Li smiled sweetly when she heard this, and said in a soft voice, “Since you feel uncomfortable, I won’t force you. Just call me sister, or…Master.”

Wen Hun was shocked, and blurted out, “Master? You are the Grand Elder of the Ni Sect!”

“Well, am I very famous?”

Su Li looked back and blinked. Wen Hun scratched his head, “My Master said that you are very mysterious and vicious. The Ni Sect under your leadership is likely to be more difficult to deal with than other twenty-five sects. We must be careful.”

With that, Wen Hun was blushed and scratched his head. Then he firmly said, “Master must be wrong. Sister, you risk own well-being to go into the Mountain and kill ghosts. You are very benevolent and righteous. How can you be vicious?”

Upon hearing this, Black Lotus rolled his eyes.

The silly boy was grateful for Su Li’s kindness in entering the Mountain and killing ghosts, but he ignored a big problem.

The Grand Elder of Ni Sect hid her identity to join another sect. How could her ambition be small?

Su Li smiled happily, and said even with a hint of gratification in her tone, “It’s great that you think so.”
