Ch 546: I Love Dealing With Psychos
This sentence, coming from the Spirit Tool’s mouth, left Jiang Nanyu speechless with laughter and tears.
Jiang Nanyu couldn’t help but wipe the outer edge of the Incense Burner, teasing it: “You’re a Magical Artifact, yet you’re afraid of a Ghost Boundary? Besides, are there any ghosts here?”
“Yes!”
“Yes, yes, there are many ghosts.”
This time it was Jiang Nanyu’s turn to be shocked. Having been in the Netherworld Barrier for some time, she hadn’t seen a single ghost!
“The ghosts in the Netherworld Barrier are souls drawn in from the Yin and Yang realms when the Barrier appears. Many are annihilated shortly after entering, but some survive. However, they are like puppets without consciousness, wandering aimlessly, attacking anything they see—they’re ferocious…”
They have a special name in the Netherworld Barrier—Wuyou.
Desolate Ghosts.
The Wuyou’s respawn locations are unpredictable, but they often appear in large numbers after a Miasma Storm ends.
As they spoke, one small creature nervously asked: “Has the Miasma Storm we encountered ended?”
The voice stopped abruptly.
Several small creatures looked at each other, then frantically hid in the Burden behind Jiang Nanyu.
As for the grayish feather that appeared, it was “ruthlessly” rejected by them; even Little Sixteen was left outside.
“Little Sixteen, find your siblings before coming in; we’re scared.”
Little Sixteen drooped its feather tip, its voice laced with sobs: “I… I’m scared too…”
Jiang Nanyu cleared her throat, placing Little Sixteen in the pocket on her chest: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
She looked at the gray feather they had thrown outside, then at the identical gray feather not far away. Her eyes twinkled, a flash of astuteness crossing her face: “You all claim to be Little Ten; do you have proof?”
“Who are you? Why are you asking me?”
“Are you human? How could a human enter the Netherworld Barrier?”
Two voices sounded in unison.
The two gray feathers glared at each other, then collided. After lightly separating, they collided again the next second.
“What are they doing?” Jiang Nanyu asked, puzzled.
“Fighting.”
“…Fighting?” Jiang Nanyu’s expression became strange. In her life, this was the first time she had seen two feathers “fight.”
It was truly extraordinary.
The Wooden Staff appeared silently at this moment.
“Go quickly, the Wuyou have appeared.”
“Those two feathers…”
“Are both fake,” the Wooden Staff said in a low voice, “The moment you jumped off the cliff, we entered an Illusion.”
Jiang Nanyu touched her chin, nodding in agreement: “I thought so too.”
But seeing two feathers fight in mid-air was worth it. It’s a pity there’s no Mobile Phone; otherwise, I’d really want to record this and show Zhuge Jingyu that rascal.
Having said that, Jiang Nanyu took off running!
By the time the two feathers reacted, Jiang Nanyu was long gone.
A moment later, the two feathers “bang”ed, transforming into two formless black shadows, twisting together and chasing after Jiang Nanyu.
“There should be quite a few Magical Artifacts capable of creating Illusions, right?” Jiang Nanyu asked while escaping, “Those that can occupy a place in the heartland should have powerful Spiritual Artifacts.”
The Wooden Staff indicated it didn’t know.
Xingxing, however, stammered: “I… I know.”
Although their friends had never laughed at Xingxing, Xingxing was self-conscious and rarely spoke. Now, knowing that they had a chance to leave the Netherworld Barrier, the entire Spiritual Artifact had become much more cheerful, occasionally joining in the conversation.
“It’s… it’s… the Yin-Yang Mirror.”
“Ah, I know!” the Incense Burner called in a soft voice, “In ancient times, there was the Yin-Yang Mirror, half red and half white. The red side showed illusory paths of life, the white side reflected the fear of death. Now, it’s one of the Seven Demon Venerable in the Netherworld Barrier, with a perverted personality, and loves hunting Living Beings.”
“Y-yes, it’s… it’s it!”
Jiang Nanyu suddenly stopped, a gleam of excitement in her eyes: “Pervert, I love dealing with perverts, hehe.”
The little creatures: “…”
The Wooden Staff turned to look at Jiang Nanyu, asking questioningly: “Not running anymore?”
Jiang Nanyu waved her hand: “Not running, we’re staying to catch the pervert!”
The Wooden Staff: Doesn’t understand, but respects it.
The Yin-Yang Mirror! Such a good Magical Artifact, if it could be subdued for her use, then dealing with the Heavenly Master Sect and the Jin Family would be a piece of cake. She would play them to death!
The little creatures she had brought along were all conservative Magical Artifacts. The Demon-Slaying Sword, while also a weapon, mainly used physical attacks. She didn’t have a single decent Magical Artifact like the Yin-Yang Mirror for magical attacks.
How could she miss such a Treasure that was delivered right to her doorstep?
Jiang Nanyu took out all these Magical Artifacts from her Burden, arranging them to work according to their specialties, and then began to set traps based on the environment.
Although she lacked Spiritual Energy, the underhanded tricks she had learned since childhood came in handy.
Just as the two shadows transformed into Little Ten were catching up, they saw Jiang Nanyu standing in an open space, a blade of grass from somewhere stuck between her teeth, a feather floating above her head.
The shadows immediately stopped, hovering in the air, suspiciously watching the human before them.
