Ch 375: Her Demise

Knowing that Lake Heart Island was the Town-Subduing Spirit Turtle’s true form, Chaoyang’s confidence in Lake Heart Island increased significantly.

She no longer needed to worry about it being breached.

However, Chaoyang was still curious about the Four Sacred Beasts, and she asked again.

“Why is the Gold-Swallowing Python asleep? What gateway does it guard?”

Bai Haiming said: “I don’t know why the other two sacred beasts are missing and the Gold-Swallowing Python is asleep. Based on my guess, it’s probably because, like me, they are too large and have special abilities. Compared to being killed, the cost of being asleep might be lower.”

“The gateway, of course, is the gateway between the Underworld and the Human Realm. The thick fog you see now is the reason why the gateway is unguarded.”

Chaoyang nodded thoughtfully: “So that’s it… Is there a way to awaken you?”

Bai Haiming said: “There should be, but I don’t know the specific method. We need to know how they sealed us first.”

“Okay!” Chaoyang nodded seriously, “I will help figure it out!”

Next time she goes to the Underworld, Chaoyang plans to visit the place where the Gold-Swallowing Python is located.

Bai Haiming smiled kindly: “Thank you then.”

“By the way, since you’re so powerful, how can my Tianyi Hundred Tombs help you?”

Bayu and Lingze hid in the Tianyi Hundred Tombs solely to isolate their auras to avoid being discovered, while Bai Haiming clearly didn’t need to.

“Stabilize the Cultivation Realm, and then reshape the Cultivation Realm.”

Chaoyang suddenly realized: “The Tianyi Hundred Tombs has this function?”

Repairing Soul Essence, isolating auras, and containing Soul Essence were things Chaoyang knew. Now, there was another function: maintaining Ghost Cultivation Realms.

Bai Haiming looked at Chaoyang mysteriously and said: “Far more than that…”

“Then…”

As if he had already guessed what Chaoyang was going to ask, before she could speak, Bai Haiming said: “You will know later.”

Chaoyang shrugged and accepted Bai Haiming’s answer.

After all, he is the Human Realm’s representative for the Town-Subduing Spirit Turtle. What could she even do to him?

“One last question,” Chaoyang said.

Bai Haiming nodded.

“Why choose me?”

After rebirth, Chaoyang possessed the Tianyi Hundred Tombs, so Bai Haiming’s choice had a rationale, but Chaoyang in her past life did not possess this item.

Bai Haiming’s smile deepened: “Because I sensed you were special, because I’ve been observing you.”

Chaoyang smiled helplessly: “I’m very kind, I know!”

Bai Haiming also smiled, acknowledging Chaoyang’s statement.

“Okay, I have no more questions, so you go into the Tianyi Hundred Tombs!” Saying this, Chaoyang activated her Burial Ghost Form.

Chaoyang, who was always surrounded by people and ghosts whenever she activated her Burial Ghost Form, felt unaccustomed to Bai Haiming’s calm expression.

Sigh, sacred beasts are truly sacred beasts; their experiences are just different!

She sighed sincerely.

【Congratulations, Host, you have buried the 702nd ghost…】

【Tianyi Hundred Tombs has buried a special ghost—Bai Haiming】

【Xu Xiaotao: Special ghost】

【Soul Age: Unknown】

【Ability: Unknown】

Unknowingly, Chaoyang had already buried 702 ghosts, most of which were Wild Ghost Level and Wandering Soul Level.

If only they could all be upgraded to Soul-Seizing Level before the apocalypse arrived.

The Underworld must not allow her to act freely!

Thinking of this, Chaoyang couldn’t help but chuckle softly, wandering around in this house.

Having not lived here for a long time, many places were already covered in dust.

This place held too many of her memories. Now that the three ghosts from her past life were all in place, there was no need to stay here any longer.

She decided to contact a real estate agent tomorrow and sell the three houses at a low price.

The originally moonlit sky was now covered by thick clouds. In the dilapidated motel, only one standard room had its lights on.

The woman’s face was contorted as she wrote something, while the man beside her was pleading desperately.

“Let’s forget it, just forget it!”

“Get lost!” Tang Jie’s eyes bulged as she angrily shouted, “No way!”

“Wife, they’re right, that money didn’t belong to us in the first place, why…”

“Who says it doesn’t belong to us?!”

Jia Jianjun hadn’t finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Tang Jie. She stood up, pointed at Jia Jianjun’s nose, and started scolding him.

“This old lady earned that money through her own abilities! They can’t borrow money because they’re incompetent and lack resources!”

“But things have gotten to this point, let’s move to another city, buy a small house and start over…”

For years, he had known that what they had done was shameful, but the money came too quickly and easily. They had so much debt they weren’t worried, and with Tang Jie’s constant nagging, he gradually stopped caring.

This incident had taught Jia Jianjun a harsh lesson. Especially seeing his son and daughter-in-law being scorned, he finally decided to stop “abetting evil,” and started to persuade Tang Jie.

As for Tao Baiying calling to persuade him and Tang Jie to divorce, he hung up immediately after hearing it.

Tang Jie, despite her thousand mistakes, was still the woman he loved in his heart; he couldn’t possibly separate from her just because of a few words from others.

“If you want to go, go! I’m not going to admit defeat!”

Tang Jie laughed ferociously, sat back down at the table, and continued to check the information in her notebook. Despite Jia Jianjun’s desperate pleas, she remained unmoved.

After a long time, she suddenly laughed wildly, stood up, and handed Jia Jianjun a piece of paper.

“Go! Get all of these!” Her eyes were full of overwhelming joy.

Jia Jianjun unfolded the note in confusion and murmured: “Birthdate and Time…hair…underclothing…placed…”

The more he read, the more frightened Jia Jianjun became. He tremblingly asked: “Get what?”

Tang Jie sneered: “Chaoyang’s, of course.”

“You…what are you going to do?”

Since Jia Jianjun and Jia Jingyi were fired from the company, Tang Jie had become secretive, constantly making phone calls or checking Earth Pay information. Her expression was like that of a madwoman.

“What am I going to do?” Tang Jie’s face darkened, her eyes full of malice. “Chaoyang won’t let me live, so I’ll make her die! The Master said that as long as I get these things, I can make Chaoyang die without a trace!”

“What?!”

Jia Jianjun shouted in horror. He threw the piece of paper on the table and grabbed Tang Jie’s shoulders, shouting, “Are you crazy!”

“You’re the one who’s crazy!” Tang Jie roared, throwing Jia Jianjun’s hands away. “I want her to die, to die without a burial place!”

Tang Jie’s gnashing teeth showed she wanted to tear Chaoyang apart right now.

“No…no! That’s my niece!” Jia Jianjun was clearly terrified by Tang Jie’s insane idea, shaking his head incessantly, his face turning pale.

Tang Jie stood in front of Jia Jianjun and roared: “Bah! Niece my ass! You feel sorry for her, but others don’t! Others won’t let us live, and you’re still thinking about them? When did you become so soft-hearted?”

Jia Jianjun trembled, pleading again: “Wife, can’t we just start over? If we kill someone, we won’t be able to live well either!”

“Don’t worry, the Master said it won’t be discovered, just do it!” Tang Jie said, sitting beside Jia Jianjun, and said word by word, “If you don’t, then we’ll divorce…”

“You decide for yourself!”

The note was slammed onto Jia Jianjun’s violently trembling face.

The note spun in the air before falling to the ground. He looked at the note on the ground, cold sweat dripping onto the floor…
