Yun Zhiqiu was surprised. "You have something that the demonic monk Nan Bo wants?" She quickly understood. "You mean the place where Bajie cultivates? How did he know you know about that place? "
He shook his head and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems like I have more than one item that the demonic monk wants. However, it has nothing to do with the treasury. The demonic monk doesn't know that I have something to do with the treasury, so he can't come after me. What he wants from me is something else. Do you still remember the divine herb I obtained from the Blood Demon?"
Yun Zhiqiu asked suspiciously, "I do. You said it was a divine herb, but I don't know what it is. What does he want it for?"
Miao Yi gestured for her to sit on the other side of the tea table. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. The blood demon and Bajie were stranded in the sealed grounds. Bajie was fine, as he wasn't affected by the demonic monk's Brahmic Chant. However, the blood demon couldn't withstand it and was bewitched by the demonic monk. He told the monk everything about how I stole the divine herb from the Blood Demon Formation. At first, I didn't know about it. Later on, the demonic monk used the entire world as a bargaining chip to exchange for the divine herb. Only then did I confirm that the divine herb could revive the dead. As long as the soul wasn't destroyed, it could be reborn. I had my suspicions at first, but when I stayed in the sealed grounds, I couldn't help but talk to the blood demon about it. I didn't expect it to be true. The demonic monk's body is unique. Normal bodies can't cultivate his cultivation, which means he can't return to his peak. This is unacceptable to the demonic monk who views himself as a god. That's why he's been hoping to find a suitable body to possess. It's very troublesome to find a body that fits his requirements. The most convenient way is to use the divine herb I have with me and the demonic monk's secret art. The blood demon said that it shouldn't be a problem to reforge a body that fits the demonic monk's requirements. "
"…" Yun Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she asked, "Why didn't you mention this before?"
Miao Yi sighed. "I didn't think much of it at the time. If the demonic monk hadn't escaped, I probably wouldn't have thought about it."
Yun Zhiqiu frowned and remained silent. Since this divine grass was so important to the demonic monk, he would most likely come looking for it. 'Niu Youde' was not a nameless character. Any cultivator would know that he was the Governor of the Netherworld. It would be too easy to find him.
She couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. "Niu Er, it seems like you and this demonic monk are really fated to be together. You can't hide from him even if you just randomly snatched something."
"Haah!" Miao Yi sighed helplessly.
It was drizzling on a calm lake, a lone boat and a straw hat. An old man who was indulging himself in the scenery sat at the bow of the boat, fishing. It was none other than Xiahou Ta.
During his years of seclusion, he had tasted many roles, and now he had become an old fisherman.
Wei Shu's Star Bell message arrived, and he immediately took out his Star Bell to contact him. After hearing that there was progress on the matter of the sealed grounds, he had been paying close attention to it. It could be said that he had been waiting for Wei Shu's news.
After contacting him, Xiahou Ta immediately asked, "How's the situation?"
Wei Shu: Master, something bad has happened. Demon Monk Nan Bo's soul has escaped.
Xiahou Ta's hand trembled violently as he asked, "What did you say?"
Wei Shu knew that it was hard for him to accept, but the truth was the truth. He couldn't just spout nonsense, so he repeated, "Master, Demon Monk Nan Bo's soul has escaped and escaped."
Xiahou Ta shook the Star Bell anxiously, "That's impossible. Both Lord Qing and Lord Buddha should be able to kill him. He has lost his transcendence energy, so there's no way he can escape from them. Even if they can't kill him, they should be able to stop him!"
Wei Shu: When the great sealing array was broken, the demonic monk used his Buddhist Chant to control the surrounding army. Lord Qing and Lord Buddha were caught in their own trap, and were stopped by their own army. The demonic monk took the opportunity to take over someone else's body and escape.
Xiahou Ta's eyes widened, and he said with grief and indignation, "How foolish! It's not like they don't know about the demonic monk's Buddhist Chant. Did they not seal off their senses beforehand? "
Wei Shu: Master, this is the crux of the problem. Sealing off one's senses can't stop the Buddhist Chant at all. The demonic monk can control people through consciousness. The demonic monk acted weak at the beginning, and only revealed his true strength when the array was broken. Lord Qing and Lord Buddha fell into his trap and let him escape.
The fishing rod in Xiahou Ta's hand hit the bow of the boat and fell into the water. His face was pale, and his breathing was rapid. His body was trembling slightly.
Xiahou Ta, who had been through countless trials and tribulations, was usually calm in the face of chaos. But now, his eyes were filled with fear.
If there was anyone in this world who was most afraid of Demon Monk Nan Bo, it would be him, the person who made Demon Monk Nan Bo fall into such a state. He knew what kind of revenge Demon Monk Nan Bo would take.
It was true that he pretended to be dead. The outside world thought that he was dead, so his enemies should have stopped.
He didn't have much longer to live, so he didn't need to worry about this.
But it just so happened that this enemy of his was not an ordinary person, but the Demonic Monk Nan Bo who caused one's hair to stand on end. In the past, he listened to the Demonic Monk Nan Bo's orders and understood the terror of this Demonic Monk all too well. That was a person that could make him not even dare to raise his head, a person that could make him not even dare to speak loudly. A person that could treat himself as a god, how could the word 'arrogant' be used to describe him? He was simply a peerless monster that had never existed since ancient times. His methods were exceedingly profound, and countless heroes had all been beaten to the ground by him.
Xiahou Ta knew all too well that if this demonic monk wanted to take revenge on him, it would be useless even if he died. Even if he died, he could still pull him back because he had seen Demon Monk Nan Bo's supernatural power with his own eyes. His enemies who had reincarnated for a hundred lifetimes were all dragged back by that evildoer. Their memories were restored, and they were tortured until they begged for death.
That miserable scene caused his hair to stand on end just thinking about it now.
Such a terrifying person, a person who could wake him up from his nightmares, had actually escaped!
Xiahou Ta revealed an expression of unprecedented fear. He was truly afraid, so afraid that he wanted to die.
However, he knew that when facing a person like Demon Monk Nan Bo, if Demon Monk Nan Bo didn't want him dead, he didn't even have the right to die.
He could almost see the indifferent gaze that regarded him as an ant staring at him from behind. Xiahou Ta abruptly turned his head to look behind him. The lone boat was floating on the lake. There was nothing behind him, but he was already drenched in sweat.
He knew that his days of suffering had begun …
Inside the Governor's Manor's garden, Miao Yi paced back and forth alone with a frown on his face.
What should he do with the divine herb in his hands? He had no choice but to consider this problem. If Demon Monk Nan Bo really escaped, it would be a disaster if he kept the divine herb in his hands. He wondered if he should give it to anyone he didn't like.
At this moment, Yang Zhaoqing quickly walked over and cupped his fists, "Milord, Wen Ze requests an audience."
"Mm!" Miao Yi nodded, accepting the request.
Yang Zhaoqing left and soon brought Wen Ze over.
As soon as Wen Ze arrived, he hurriedly bowed and said with a solemn expression, "Milord, something bad has happened. Demon Monk Nan Bo's soul has escaped …"
He briefly explained the situation. The main point was to relay the Heavenly Court's notice to the troops in the Nether Realm to be on high alert and conduct a search. He also had to take into account how to prevent Demon Monk Nan Bo from sneaking in.
Miao Yi sighed inwardly. It seemed that the old demon had really escaped. He couldn't figure it out. How could Qing and Fo have let the old demon escape with their help? Wen Ze's explanation was vague, so it wasn't appropriate for him to ask. Wen Ze's knowledge was probably limited, or perhaps he knew something that was taboo and wouldn't tell him. Miao Yi planned to contact Hao Defang later and ask what was going on.
What annoyed Miao Yi the most was Wen Ze himself. He didn't know what the Heavenly Court was thinking. He, 'Niu Youde', was the Governor of the Nether Realm, but everything was conveyed directly to Wen Ze, making it seem like Wen Ze was the real Governor of the Nether Realm. If Wen Ze wasn't so tactful, Miao Yi was afraid that he would have given the Heavenly Court and Wen Ze a lesson, lest they really treated him as a vassal.
Wen Ze also felt a little uncomfortable under Miao Yi's strange gaze. He knew what Miao Yi was thinking, but he couldn't do anything about it. If the Heavenly Court insisted on doing this, what could he do? He even suspected that the Heavenly Court was afraid that he would completely side with Niu Youde, so they purposely drove a wedge between them.
Truth be told, he was now a little regretful for coming here. Not only did he lose his authority in the Nether Realm Governor's Office, but the Heavenly Court also had their own ideas about him. He was in a dilemma, and he couldn't afford to offend either side.
"Mm!" Miao Yi nodded. "Inform the generals to discuss matters in the conference hall."
After that, the core generals gathered in the Governor's Office's conference hall. Miao Yi informed them of the situation here, ordering them to deploy, guard, and search.
All in all, the Heavenly Court's news came at the right time. At the very least, it taught them how to prevent the demonic monk from taking advantage of their weakness.
Needless to say, the generals were shocked by this news.
After the conference was over, Miao Yi led Yang Zhaoqing back to the inner residence to look for Yun Zhiqiu.
"I'm not going!"
Yun Zhiqiu immediately refused when she heard that Miao Yi wanted her to bring Lin Pingping and the others back to the small world to hide.
"Sister Qiu 'er, listen to me!" Miao Yi's tone left no room for negotiation. He turned to Yang Zhaoqing and said, "Inform Lin Pingping as well. Tell her to pack her things and leave with Madam."
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing acknowledged and turned to leave. He knew that Miao Yi was doing this for his own good.
Yun Zhiqiu stared at Miao Yi for a while, then bit her lip and said, "Niu Er, am I just a burden in your eyes?"
