The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 46

Ch 46: Accepting Disciples

Pinching the thin needle between his fingertips, Xi Yang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn’t remember any information about it. Just as he was pondering, the thin needle suddenly broke free from his hand and pierced straight towards his brow like lightning.

Xi Yang cried out inwardly, “Not good!” The thin needle flashed in the air and instantly disappeared into his Divine Sea.

After entering the Divine Sea, the thin needle was extremely fast, flying like lightning towards Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul Body in the center of the Divine Sea.

Watching the thin needle enter the Divine Sea, Xi Yang dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately gathered his mind.

At this moment, Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul, sitting cross-legged in the center of the Divine Sea, quickly stood up, preparing to deal with the crisis. However, the speed of the thin needle was too fast, and it pierced through Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul Body in the blink of an eye.

Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul trembled and instantly collapsed.

Seeing this situation, the thin needle continued to stab towards the core of the Divine Sea without hesitation.

At the critical moment, Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul Body condensed again, and with a flash, blocked the thin needle. His eyes widened in anger, and he scolded loudly, “How dare you, Soul Extinguishing Needle, devour your master?”

At the moment of being pierced, Xi Yang recalled that this needle was called Soul Extinguishing, and it was a treasure he had refined with a rootless tree branch in the Nine Bends World of the Netherworld. This object was indestructible and had repeatedly helped Xi Yang turn danger into safety in the Netherworld.

At this moment, this Soul Extinguishing Needle had developed consciousness and became very different from before.

The Soul Extinguishing Needle stopped in mid-air as it stabbed towards Xi Yang, hesitated and spun around a few times, then condensed and transformed, eventually turning into the appearance of a little girl. Xi Yang stared and couldn’t help but be stunned: “Duo’er?”

The little girl shook her head and replied crisply, “I am not Duo’er, I am Ma Buyao, Duo’er’s younger sister!”

Hearing this, Xi Yang immediately understood why Duo’er could maintain her health after being chosen as a container. He couldn’t help but sigh, “So that’s how it is…”

Then, Xi Yang asked Ma Buyao again, “Have you been secretly helping Duo’er?”

Ma Buyao nodded.

Xi Yang was silent for a moment, then looked at her and asked seriously, “Then what are your plans next? Do you want to return to my side, or do you want to go out independently?”

Ma Buyao said without hesitation: “I choose to kill you!” After speaking, she turned back into the form of the Soul Extinguishing Needle and stabbed straight towards Xi Yang.

However, this time Xi Yang was no longer in a passive state, and he reacted quickly. When the Soul Extinguishing Needle pierced his Nascent Soul again, his Nascent Soul was protected by a Chaos Firelight, and the Soul Extinguishing Needle that had entered Xi Yang’s Nascent Soul was trapped by the Chaos Firelight.

The power of the Soul Extinguishing Needle was too strong, even the Sword Intent condensed with all his strength could not withstand it. This thing was a real artifact of destruction, and only artifacts of the same level could resist it. Therefore, Xi Yang had already introduced the Reincarnation Lamp here while chatting.

Immediately, Xi Yang’s figure condensed again. Looking at the struggling Soul Extinguishing Needle, “I originally intended to give you a chance to live, but you didn’t choose it! I’m sorry!” As he spoke, he pointed at the Reincarnation Lamp, and the Chaos Flame flourished. In the blink of an eye, Ma Buyao’s consciousness on the Soul Extinguishing Needle was burned to ashes.

Xi Yang looked at the red-hot Soul Extinguishing Needle, and the little girl’s figure condensed again, struggling to say to Xi Yang, “Help me take care of Duo’er!” After saying that, she floated away out of thin air.

Xi Yang looked at the place where she disappeared and drew a wisp of Divine Sense Imprint from his brow and imprinted it on it.

After a while, the Soul Extinguishing Needle returned to calm. Xi Yang manipulated it casually, and there was no lag at all. He returned to his Physical Body with satisfaction.

Opening his eyes, he spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and his cultivation had improved a bit.

Xi Yang slowly stood up, his legs were numb from squatting for a long time, and he gently shook his body, trying to relieve this discomfort. As his body swayed, the frost on his body began to melt slowly, and his clothes became wet. With a gentle wave of his hand, a Fire Attribute Spiritual Power swept across his fingertips, and his clothes instantly became dry.

He looked up at the distance, and the sky was already turning fish-belly white, and a new day was about to dawn. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Duo’er, whom he had forgotten to remove the seal from last night. His heart tightened, and he quickly turned to look at Duo’er, who had been lying on the ground all night.

He saw that Duo’er was still lying there motionless, maintaining the posture she had been in last night when she was fixed by the Spirit Talisman. Her body was covered with a thick layer of frost, which tightly wrapped her, making her whole body extremely stiff.

Xi Yang rushed over and quickly released the seal on Duo’er’s body. He looked nervously at the frozen girl in front of him, secretly praying: “Please don’t let anything happen!” If his negligence caused Duo’er to lose her life, it would become a lifelong indelible pain and guilt for him.

He stretched out his finger and quickly injected two streams of Spiritual Energy into Duo’er’s body, hoping to help her recover her vitality. Then, he carefully melted the frost on her body little by little, then picked her up and walked into the room, changing her into a clean and warm set of clothes.

At the same time, he constantly used Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, trying to restore Duo’er’s body temperature. Under his all-out efforts, Duo’er’s condition improved significantly. It was just that after her body temperature recovered, her body quickly became like a stove, frighteningly hot.

Her whole body was flushed, emitting steaming heat, obviously she had a high fever. Xi Yang was extremely anxious and constantly tried to use Spiritual Power to cool Duo’er down, hoping to lower her body temperature.

However, every time he successfully lowered Duo’er’s body temperature, it would soon rise again, repeating this many times, making him feel very helpless.

This situation was not just a fever, but the residual Cold Poison in her body was being drawn out. Although the Soul Extinguishing Needle helped absorb the Cold Poison, she had been in contact with it for too long, and she was originally a Top-Grade Water Spiritual Root. Unknowingly, a lot of Water Spiritual Energy had entered her bone marrow.

Looking at Duo’er, who had a persistent high fever, Xi Yang sighed, helped her dredge her Meridians, and guided the Water Spiritual Energy to circulate in her body at the same time. In this way, the Cold Poison in her body was transformed into Water Spiritual Energy, and she also became a Martial Artist.

Two days later.

Duo’er recovered. She glanced at Xi Yang, who was taking care of her, and quickly turned her head away!

“Why are you treating your benefactor like this?” Xi Yang said with a smile.

“Humph, what kind of benefactor are you? You killed Ma Buza, and you also killed so many people in the village! You are my enemy!” Duo’er said angrily.

Xi Yang smiled, “Actually, you have recovered your memory. Ma Buza is not your father. He kidnapped you here. Not only that, but the missing children in the village were also killed by him! Will you seek revenge on me because of him?”

Duo’er immediately got up and argued, “Even so, but those villagers are innocent. Why did you kill them?”

“They’re innocent? Ridiculous. They have already lost their minds. What do you think is the reason why Mabu Village is so far away from other villages?” Xi Yang said.

“What are you saying? That’s impossible. The villagers are all good people! They wouldn’t do that?” Duo’er said in a panic.

“Whether they are good people or not, I don’t know. They can’t control many things anymore, and it’s not up to them to decide whether they are good or bad,” Xi Yang said.

“Can’t you give them a way out? Locking them up is also fine, or handing them over to the police?” Duo’er said.

“No, they have lost their minds and are powerful. Letting them out will only lead to misery!”

“Then…” Duo’er opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

“Death is actually a good thing for them. They are all corroded by Cold Poison. Even if they are rescued, they won’t live long!”

“I, I…” Saying that, she cried.

“Alright, you will follow me from now on? I will take you out of this mountain!” Xi Yang sighed.

Duo’er looked around and nodded. “Then what will I call you from now on?”

Xi Yang thought for a while and asked, “Are you willing to be my disciple?”

Hearing this, Duo’er stared at Xi Yang for a while, “Okay!”

As she knelt down in front of him and kowtowed three times, “Master, please accept this disciple’s bow!”

Xi Yang nodded with a smile, “Get up! Besides you, I have two other disciples, First Disciple Zhang Rang, resourceful, and Second Disciple Lin Xuan, with extraordinary talent!”

“Yes! Master!” Duo’er stood up and offered tea to Xi Yang.
