Chapter 280 Xiaoxuan
"Master..."
Xie Wanxun took a deep breath and gripped the bell in her hand tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was calm, just like always.
Xie Wanxun turned around and looked at the rioting ghosts.
As the will-o'-the-wisp ignited in her hand, Xie Wanxun coldly glanced around, and the ghosts made way for her.
These ghosts are evil spirits, controlled by hatred and obsession, driven only by instinct to fight and kill. They are incapable of obedience and have no reason.
Xie Wanxun almost became one of them. After all, during her time wandering the underworld, she lost her will to live several times, and the prolonged battles made her want to abandon her past. However, revenge allowed her to retain a sliver of sanity, enabling her to survive and avoid becoming a demon.
The evil spirits of the underworld have been controlled by Xie Wanxun and will not cause any disturbances for the time being.
A ghostly green figure wandered around Xie Wanxun, its voice tinged with joy: "Your Highness, thank goodness you're back, otherwise the Underworld would truly be doomed."
Xie Wanxun looked at the eerie green ghost. It was a subordinate left behind by the former Ghost King, named Xiao You, who was in charge of ghosts entering and leaving the underworld.
As for the previous Ghost King...
Xie Wanxun recalled that after she followed the tortoise shell to the underworld, she found that the entire underworld was already in a mess.
All the ghosts went on a rampage, and evil spirits slaughtered those ghosts who still retained their reason. Powerful evil spirits attempted to break the boundaries of the underworld, wanting the ghosts and evil spirits to return to the human world together.
The Ghost King, who was in charge of everything, had long since lost consciousness and fallen into the most powerful evil spirit, leading the rebellion in the underworld.
At that time, Xie Wanxun had already fallen into demonic possession, and all that remained in his heart was the desire for battle.
So, by a twist of fate, Xie Wanxun killed the Ghost King, but ended up taking on the Ghost King's responsibilities.
The evil spirits that tried to escape were destroyed by Xie Wanxun's ghost fire, while the chaotic ghosts were guided back to the underworld by her soul-guiding technique.
Later, when things were peaceful in the underworld, Xie Wanxun broke through the seal of the Chaos Sea and went out.
Unexpectedly, she had already been tainted with too much resentment and was completely unable to control her murderous intent.
If it weren't for Wan Ning's phoenix fire dispelling the resentment within her, she wouldn't have regained her senses.
However, having fallen to demonhood, she didn't remember Wan Ning's existence and foolishly tried to kill her.
Later, fortunately, the residual Netherfire from the Crimson Flame Bird helped her regain her memories; otherwise, she would have made countless mistakes.
Xie Wan pondered many things and unknowingly arrived at the Oblivion Cliff in the Underworld.
The Cliff of Oblivion is located on the border of the underworld. Any ghost that falls into the Cliff of Oblivion will be completely destroyed and will never be able to reincarnate.
Therefore, this place is generally the quietest place in the underworld.
However, today is a little different.
A group of evil spirits huddled together, making joyful shouts as if they were tearing at something.
Xie Wanxun frowned slightly and threw the ghost fire in her hand towards the horde of evil spirits. The group of evil spirits turned to look at Xie Wanxun, and their previously ferocious appearance immediately became docile, fleeing without hesitation.
Xie Wanxun shook his head helplessly when he saw the little ghost left behind.
The underworld is a place where the strong prey on the weak.
Weak ghosts are bullied by other powerful evil spirits, which is something that can't be helped.
Even if Xie Wanxun were the Ghost King, it would be difficult for him to eradicate this kind of thing.
She lifted her foot and left, preparing to circle around one more time before leaving the underworld.
Xiao You, who was standing next to her, suddenly cried out in a panic, "Your Highness, that little ghost is about to fall!"
"What fell down?" Xie Wanxun asked in confusion, but when she turned her head, she saw that the little ghost was actually floating towards the edge of the Oblivion Cliff.
Xie Wanxun panicked and rushed over, grabbing the little ghost: "Fool, if you go any further, you'll be annihilated!"
But then the little ghost trembled and raised its head.
Xie Wanxun froze in shock, her eyes widening involuntarily.
"You can't see?" Xie Wanxun asked.
The little ghost nodded.
Xie Wanxun turned her head and asked, "Xiao You, what happened?"
When a ghost comes to the underworld, it has abandoned its physical body in the human world and will no longer have the same symptoms as it did in life.
But the little ghost in front of him can't be seen, which is completely illogical.
Xiao You shook her head in confusion, then suddenly paused: "Your Highness, such things don't usually happen. But there are exceptions."
"What do you mean?"
Xiao You hesitated and said, "Unless the soul's lifespan is not yet over, but the body dies prematurely, it will come to the underworld. However, if the lifespan is not yet over, it cannot be reincarnated and can only wander in the underworld. Such things rarely happen, and even if they do, I would find out in advance. However, this time it seems to be my mistake."
Xie Wanxun rubbed her forehead; her head was a little sore.
"so what should I do now?"
"Only when a soul has used up its lifespan can it be reincarnated." Xiao You's voice grew softer and softer, and it dared not look at Xie Wanxun.
"I understand. I will take him back to the human realm. As for his physical body, I will find a way to rebuild it for him," Xie Wanxun said helplessly, waving her hand.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Xiao You quickly left.
Xie Wanxun squatted down, looked at the little ghost, and asked softly, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Xuan."
"You must have suffered here. I'll take you back to the human world," Xie Wanxun said with a smile, patting Xiao Xuan's head.
"Thank you, but... what should I call you?" Xiao Xuan asked timidly.
Xie Wanxun thought for a moment, and seeing that Xiao Xuan looked no more than eight or nine years old, she said, "I am Xie Wanxun, you can just call me Sister Xun."
"Looking for my sister."
"Ah."
Xie Wanxun took Xiao Xuan's hand and settled him in a safe place.
She surveyed the underworld to make sure there were no major problems before finding Xiao Xuan and arriving at the exit of the underworld.
Human world.
"That's how it is. After I came out, I reconstructed a physical body for Xiao Xuan, and then I encountered you in the Chaos Sea." Xie Wanxun explained the whole story, then looked at Qin Muyang beside Xie Wanning and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Muyang couldn't hear anything, so he didn't react.
"Sister, Qin Muyang signed a contract with the Chaos Sea, so he has lost all five senses now." Xie Wanning lowered her eyes, her eyes slightly red.
As if sensing Xie Wanning's sadness, Qin Muyang reached out and grabbed her hand.
The jade pendants at their waists emitted a faint light, and Xie Wanning heard Qin Muyang's voice: "Wanning, are you alright?"
"Can you hear my voice?" Xie Wanning asked expectantly.
Qin Muyang shook his head, but said, "I can sense your feelings."
Xie Wanning was suddenly surprised to discover that the two jade pendants her parents had left her could actually connect their consciousnesses.
"I will definitely find a way to heal you," Xie Wanning said in her consciousness space.
Qin Muyang nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Looking for my sister!" Xiao Xuan suddenly called out.
Xie Wanxun lowered her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Will you send me away?
Xie Wanxun nodded and said, "I am a demonic cultivator. You will not have a good outcome if you follow me."
But Xiao Xuan shook his head and said firmly, "You saved me, I'm not leaving."
Xie Wanxun gave an awkward smile; she wasn't very good at dealing with children.
"Sister, why don't we send Xiao Xuan to Qingyun Sect?" Xie Wan Ning suggested, reaching out to pull Xiao Xuan.
However, Xiao Xuan hid behind Xie Wanxun and refused to come out.
"Never mind, I'll settle him at Wangchuan Cliff. By the way, what happened to the masters?" Xie Wanxun asked anxiously.
Xie Wanning was stunned for a moment, then a look of hatred flashed in her eyes: "It was Heaven's will, it killed our masters."
"It's him again!" Xie Wanxun's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Xie Wanning and handed her the bell: "This is from your master, keep it safe."
"Ah."
"Then, we need to make a trip to the Heavenly Dao. But how should we do it?" Xie Wanxun frowned in distress.
Xie Wanning hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "I have a way."
