Stranger Danger

“It’s more entertaining to have the dogs bite each other to the death, isn’t it?” Murong Xianxian said with a chuckle. At the same time, she stopped Ye Qing from transmitting true qi into her body and shook her head imperceptibly.

“Is it? I don’t think so.”

Ye Qing frowned. Murong Xianxian was a smart woman. She had always been a smart woman. However, he could not see how this was a good move no matter what. In his opinion, any move that put oneself in grave danger was, at best, a subpar move.

It might look like Murong Xianxian was sitting tight on her fishing boat now, but she was really treading on thin ice. One misstep, one slip of weakness, and she would plunge into the depths of hell immediately.

Murong Xianxian knew this, but she still chose to do it. There was surely a better solution than this, but she still picked the most dangerous one. It really did not fit her modus operandi.

Either Murong Xianxian had a trump card up her sleeve—which really did not seem likely—or she had another objective.

“What are you really planning, big sis?”

“Why don’t you guess, Joyless?” Murong Xianxian smirked.

“That’s unfair, big sis.” Ye Qing rubbed his nose. It could literally be anything.

By now, Mistress Yu Hua had fallen into a disadvantage. Murong Xianxian’s smirk turned enigmatic as she answered, “I’m waiting for two people, and I want to prove something.”

“Er… what?” Ye Qing raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“One of them is a ghost, and the other a dead man.”

Murong Xianxian’s expression grew increasingly inscrutable as she sighed. “As for the thing, I just wanted to know if he really hated me, or…”

She shook her head suddenly. “Forget it. You’ll find out very soon.”

Ye Qing lowered his gaze. He was starting to get it.

Back to the battle, Mistress Yu Hua was in a precarious situation. Fighting four Truemen and one Grandmaster was no joke after all. The women surrounding her were growing more and more attractive, but Mistress Yu Hua herself was panting like a dog. She also looked like she had one foot in the grave.

While Mistress Yu Hua was weakened, Sun Sovereign’s yang god burned like the sun and scorched the attractive women into ash. As soon as she was open, Laughing Buddha, Madman Chu, Sakyamuni Myriad Shadows and Xu Xiu charged toward her.

“You can’t kill me… The master won’t forgive you…”

Mistress Yu Hua screamed shrilly while flailing her limbs like a clown. The death of the women caused Mistress Yu Hua to age even more than she already was. Her skin was withered and wrinkled, and she barely had any teeth or hair left. She looked more dead than alive right now. It was both amusing and pitiful.

“Away with you!”

Right before Mistress Yu Hua would perish, the ten powerless banners abruptly shot toward the group of five like throwing spears, forcing them to cancel their attack and dodge out of the way. They didn’t stop even after they reached Mistress Yu Hua. Instead, they pierced through her limbs and pinned her in place.

A dark light shone from the banners and flowed into Mistress Yu Hua’s body. Over time, her wrinkly body turned smooth, and her flesh began to fill out once more. Somehow, she was regaining her youth.

“Haha! Hahahaha!”

Mistress Yu Hua laughed loudly when she saw this. “It’s the master! It has to be him!”

The Sun Sovereign and the others stared at Mistress Yu Hua with varying looks of surprise and wariness. No one saw the need to rush ahead and test if she was faking it or not.

As dark light continued to pour into her body, Mistress Yu Hua eventually became even younger and more attractive than she originally was. However, the dark light did not cease flowing into her body. Her stomach began swelling at a visible rate.

“My stomach…?”

Mistress Yu Hua noticed the oddity and tried to stop it, of course. However, she could not move a muscle as she was completely pinned. She could only watch in horror and confusion as her stomach grew larger and larger.

“What’s going on? Ahhhh! It hurts!”

In just the blink of an eye, Mistress Yu Hua’s stomach resembled that of a lady who was ten months pregnant, and it was still growing. Eventually, her flesh was stretched to the point where it looked translucent, and every vein looked as clear as day.

“Ahhhh! It hurts! It hurts! Save me! No! No!”

All the joy had fled from Mistress Yu Hua’s face. It was replaced by pain, horror, fear.

Pssh!

Finally, her stomach physically couldn’t stretch any further and split open with a disgusting squelch. Then, a massive hand reached out from the center.

The hand’s palm looked as big as a millstone, and its fingers were the size of a house’s pillars. Black as ink, it overflowed with inauspiciousness and misfortune.

The hand alone was way bigger than Mistress Yu Hua’s entire person. If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that it had forced its way out of Mistress yu Hua’s stomach.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Mistress Yu Hua let out another bloodcurdling scream as another hand reached out of her stomach. Then, both hands grabbed her split sides and pulled. It looked like the hands were trying to tear a hole wide enough to admit something absolutely massive. A terrifying aura filled the air.

“Shit! Attack!”

Sun Sovereign blanched when he saw this. Knowing that they were running out of time, he stopped hesitating and launched an attack at Mistress Yu Hua. Everyone else realized the danger and threw themselves forward as well.

Although they had no idea what was the thing trying to get out of Mistress Yu Hua’s stomach, they knew that it was highly dangerous. They knew that letting it out was the worst thing they could possibly do here.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t even get close to the woman before one of the hands took a swipe at them like it was batting away an annoying fly.

Boom!

It was such a casual slap, but space collapsed, the sky fractured, and the ground split open like a spider’s web. Each and everyone of them was sent hurtling across the air, spitting blood or growing more transparent. They were still alive, but it was a serious blow on top of their already serious injuries.

After swatting Sun Sovereign and the others away, the hands grabbed Mistress Yu Hua’s stomach and started pulling once more.

For a time, the only sound that could be heard in the area was her screams.

“What… is that?” Ye Qing asked in a low tone while perceiving the terrible power behind the slap.

“It’s the Great Ghost God Reincarnation Spell, a terribly insidious and vicious secret art. By implanting a portion of their soul inside the victim’s body, the practitioner transforms them into a kind of bridge and cauldron. If necessary, they could activate the spell to traverse an unimaginable distance and trigger a rebirth,” Murong Xianxian said indifferently. It was as if she did not care about the thing that was about to burst out of Mistress Yu Hua’s stomach at all.

“So… who did this to her?” Ye Qing asked. He already knew the answer, but he would like some confirmation regardless.

Murong Xianxian answered, “The caster must be very close to Yu Hua for her to not suspect a thing. They must also be incredibly powerful to perform the spell. Who do you think it was?”

“Are they one of the two people you’re waiting for?” Ye Qing asked again.

“Correct!” Murong Xianxian nodded. She still didn’t look worried in the slightest.

It looked like Murong Xianxian had everything under control, Ye Qing could not say anything else despite his worries. He was powerless to fix this situation anyway. After all, his opponent was one of the Six Ghosts and Gods of Fengdu.

That’s right. The person they were talking about was none other than Zongtian, master of the Grand Fiend Abode of Forgiveness!

He did not know how Murong Xianxian was able to find out that Zongtian was hiding in Mistress Yu Hua’s stomach. He did not know if her trump card was truly strong enough to deal with him either. At this point, he could only leave it all to fate and act accordingly.
