Ch 550: The Yin-yang Mirror, Acquired!

Screams were instantly swallowed by the flames. Jiang Nanyu stood in the heart of the fire, her hair blown about by the soaring flames.

Her expression was calm as she watched those Wuyou burn in the Karmic Fire, struggling in the flames, yet still trying to lunge towards her. But as soon as they stepped onto the Talisman, they would instantly be reduced to ashes.

The Karmic Fire burned only within the Mountain Cave under Jiang Nanyu’s control. She lowered her head and looked at the Lotus in her palm. Under the illumination of the firelight, the Lotus Seal on her forehead shone even brighter.

Jiang Nanyu looked down at the Crimson Lotus appearing in her palm. Even she was somewhat surprised by her control over the Karmic Flame Lotus, able to control its range.

Watching the Wuyou, one after another, fearlessly trying to pass through the Talisman Seal, then falling one after another, turning to dust and dying under her Formation, Jiang Nanyu seemed to think of something and turned to look at the black mist in the Spirit-Binding Net.

The black mist looked at the Crimson Lotus in Jiang Nanyu’s hand in terror: “This is a Crimson Lotus? Who are you? Who are you, really? Why can you control the Crimson Lotus?!”

Jiang Nanyu walked towards it. The black mist’s voice became even more terrified, and it suddenly began to struggle: “Let me out! Let me out!”

“Want out now?” Jiang Nanyu sneered. “Who was it that refused to come out? I gave you a chance.”

“Who are you? You’re not human! You’re not human!”

“You’re not human,” Jiang Nanyu said irritably. “Keep talking and Madam will burn you to death!”

“…”

Not only the black mist, but Fugui’er was also trembling with fear. Although it trusted Shushu, what if, what if her hand shook and burned it? No one had told it whether this net was fireproof or not!

“Summon your True Form and sign a Contract with me, to be my Magical Artifact,” Jiang Nanyu had played enough and stopped beating around the bush, stating her demands directly.

“You… you’re dreaming!” the black mist retorted.

Jiang Nanyu’s thoughts moved slightly, and the flame that had been extinguished within the black mist eerily reignited at that moment, rising with a “whoosh” in the light of the Formation!

“Ah!!!”

A scream instantly pierced through the entire Mountain Cave.

Fugui’er nervously remained motionless. It felt the scorching heat of the flames surging in the space surrounding it; the feeling of being a hair’s breadth from death was driving it mad.

Shushu was terrifying!

Wuwuwu, it would rather have a quick death.

“Let me tell you, my innate Magical Artifact is a Magical Sword, and I’m currently lacking a suitable Mirror. Your True Form, the Yin-Yang Mirror, quite suits my tastes. After I get out, I’ll need you to create some ‘fun’ for some enemies. If you’re sensible, you’ll actively sign a Contract with me, and you’ll have a good life. If you’re not, I’ll kill you, and finding a new Spiritual Artifact to replace you in this Netherworld Barrier isn’t impossible…”

Jiang Nanyu squatted in front of the Spirit-Binding Net and poked the black mist with her finger.

Fugui’er flatteringly scratched Jiang Nanyu’s arm with a corner of the large net.

Jiang Nanyu patted it: “Good Fugui’er, Sister loves you.”

Fugui’er finally felt relieved.

It suddenly understood why Shushu could appear safely in the Netherworld Barrier: she had such a powerful Crimson Lotus in her body!

But why did it feel that this Crimson Lotus was very similar to the legendary Karmic Flame Lotus of the Seven Demon Venerable?

Fugui’er had never seen the Karmic Flame Lotus’s True Form, but it had heard its terrifying legends. The Lotus in Shushu’s hand was also red; perhaps they were of the same lineage…

As it thought, a pleading voice interrupted its thoughts: “Don’t burn! Don’t burn! I’m willing! Willing to sign a Contract! I’m willing! Ah!”

Jiang Nanyu clasped her palm, and the Karmic Fire in the Mountain Cave disappeared in an instant.

Those Wuyou who had appeared in the Mountain Cave one after another were burned to nothing, not even a trace of ash left behind.

It was as if everything that had happened was just an Illusion. Nothing had happened.

Jiang Nanyu poked the black mist again: “Come out.”

The black mist sullenly crawled out of the Spirit-Binding Net.

Fugui’er let out a huge sigh of relief, curled up into the size of an apple, and quickly slipped into Jiang Nanyu’s pocket.

However, while Jiang Nanyu was not paying attention, the black mist “whooshed” out of the Mountain Cave and disappeared in an instant.

The Wooden Staff looked at the Mountain Cave, then at Jiang Nanyu: “Not chasing?”

“Chase what? It’ll come back on its own,” Jiang Nanyu yawned, leaning languidly against the Mountain Wall. “I’ll take a nap.”

The Wooden Staff seemed to have something to ask Jiang Nanyu, but in the end, it remained silent.

About half an hour later.

The black mist sullenly returned to the Mountain Cave.

With a “ding,” a Mirror fell in front of Jiang Nanyu, making a crisp sound as it hit the ground.

Jiang Nanyu slowly opened her eyes: “Oh, I thought you ran away.”

“How dare I?” The black mist’s voice was clearly fawning, carefully begging. “This Mirror is my True Form. Please, have mercy and let me go!”

It had thought it could escape, but when it returned, it found it couldn’t return to the Mirror. Furthermore, the flame inside was getting hotter and hotter. With no choice, the black mist sullenly returned to the Mountain Cave with its True Form, the Yin-Yang Mirror, to find Jiang Nanyu.

Since being sucked into the Netherworld Barrier, it had acted arrogantly for hundreds of years. It never imagined it would fall into the hands of a young girl.

But who would have known this human girl was different, actually able to control Karmic Fire?!

The black mist held the Mirror, placing it in Jiang Nanyu’s hand.

Jiang Nanyu examined the Mirror in her hands. It was indeed half red and half white, and unlike other Magical Artifacts, it didn’t have a single speck of rust, showing it was extremely well-maintained.

“The Yang Mirror reflects the Illusion of the path of life, the Yin Mirror reflects the Fear of the path of death. You are adept at both Yin and Yang, no wonder you could become one of the Seven Demon Venerable in this Netherworld Barrier. I’m suddenly interested in the remaining Six Demon Venerable.” Jiang Nanyu smiled, then bit her finger and drew a Talisman Seal on both sides of the Mirror.

Feeling the pressure and restraint of the familiar Talisman Seal, even though the black mist was filled with resentment, it eventually yielded to the pressure of the Karmic Fire, and slowly shed its disguise under the power of the Talisman Seal, revealing the true form of the Spiritual Artifact…
