Chapter 395 - The Mysterious Yu Huang
Chapter 395: The Mysterious Yu Huang
“Hey, I’m asking you a question!” Seeing that Yu Huang remained silent, Yin Fu was so anxious that she nudged her with her arm.
Yu Huang couldn’t be bothered with Yin Fu. She carried the spirit sword and walked deeper into the tunnel.
Seeing this, Yin Fu, who was afraid of ghosts, turned her head and looked around. She had a feeling that the Saint Tomb was gloomy and creepy, so she was afraid and hurriedly jogged to follow.
As she walked, Yu Huang sized up the painting on the wall of the corridor while listening to Yin Fu chattering about her terrifying experience in the Saint Tomb.
Yin Fu said, “I think there’s really a ghost in this Saint Tomb.”
Yu Huang replied perfunctorily, “Isn’t Prime Master Jing An that ghost?” Prime Master Jing An’s soul had been restrained in the Saint Tomb for so many years. She should have become a malicious ghost long ago.
Yin Fu shook her head and said, “It’s not Prime Master Jing An. Prime Master Jing An is powerful. Even after she died, her soul could condense into a phantom. We can see it. But the ghost I’m talking about is a real ghost. It’s a supernatural ghost that can’t be explained with our current knowledge.”
She actually knew about supernatural things.
Yu Huang finally stopped in her tracks. She suppressed her impatience and asked, “Then what did the ghost you saw look like?”
Yin Fu approached Yu Huang and looked around warily while saying softly, “I couldn’t see that ghost , but it followed me like a shadow. It even blew into my ear! It appeared when I passed the first round. I think it’s hiding somewhere and secretly observing me.”
Yu Huang asked again, “What are the contents of the first two tests?”
“Huh?” Yin Fu asked her, “You don’t know?”
Yu Huang said, “I was directly teleported to the third level.”
Yin Fu was instantly displeased. “On what basis? We’re all here to accept the inheritance test. Why can you be directly teleported to the third round? The ancestor is biased!”
Yu Huang nodded. She said thoughtfully, “Maybe it’s because I’m not afraid of ghosts, and I’m beautiful and talented.”
Yin Fu was speechless when she heard Yu Huang’s shameless boasting. Although Yu Huang was telling the truth, there was no need to be so high-profile.
Yin Fu, who was originally afraid of ghosts, was instead angered to the point of being fearless when she heard Yu Huang’s words. “Heh, then I want to see if you can obtain Prime Master Jing An’s inheritance.”
“I don’t know if I can obtain the inheritance or not, but you definitely can’t.” Yin Fu didn’t look very smart.
Yu Huang continued to walk forward. This time, Yin Fu was emboldened and was a few steps behind her.
When she passed by a mural, Yu Huang suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared at the mural without moving.
Yin Fu thought that Yu Huang had encountered a special situation and had no choice but to stop and observe the situation. She quickly walked over and stood behind Yu Huang before looking over her shoulder.
The reason why Yu Huang stopped was because her attention was attracted by a mural on the wall. Yin Fu also stared at the painting a few more times before explaining the history of this mural to Yu Huang—
“This is the Demon Suppression Battle. Prime Master Jing An was the main force in this battle. She and her beast form were invincible, and she successfully beheaded that fiendish cultivator.”
On the screen, Prime Master Jing An was holding the demon’s head in his left hand while his right hand seemed to be stroking something, but there was nothing under his palm.
Yu Huang felt that there was something missing from this painting. Her eyes lit up as she suddenly asked, “Why isn’t Prime Master Jing An’s beast form on this painting?”
Yin Fu rolled her eyes and said in disdain, “Don’t you know that Prime Master Jing An’s beast form is an invisible beast?”
Invisible beast?
“There’s this kind of beast form?”
A proud expression immediately appeared on Yin Fu’s face. She hugged the spirit sword and nodded. “In the entire history of the Holy Spirit Continent, only our ancestor has awakened an Invisibility Beast. Invisibility Beasts are extremely rare. They appear and disappear unpredictably, and are extremely powerful.”
“Back then, Prime Master Jing An cooperated perfectly with her invisible beast and successfully beheaded the fiendish cultivator.”
After hearing this, Yu Huang frowned slightly. She stared at the domineering Prime Master Jing An on the screen and said regretfully, “In that case, Prime Master Jing An has never even seen her lover’s face.”
Yin Fu was instantly stunned when she heard this. That’s right, Prime Master Jing An’s beast form was an invisible beast, so even she couldn’t see him.
“If she can’t even see her lover, how could she fall in love?” Yin Fu thought to herself. It was as if she wasn’t dating anyone. She couldn’t even kiss him.
At this moment, Yu Huang suddenly recalled what Yin Fu had said earlier. “You said before that there are ghosts in the Saint Tomb, and there’s something invisible that’s disturbing you?”
Yin Fu snorted. “Didn’t you not believe me?”
Yu Huang suddenly believed him.
Yu Huang thought of a possibility and suddenly turned to look at her side. Her gaze was incomparably sharp, scaring Yin Fu so much that she thought that a ghost had come and subconsciously grabbed Yu Huang’s clothes.
Yu Huang stared at the surrounding air and suddenly said, “Do you think Prime Master Jing An’s beast form is hiding in the dark and watching us?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a warm wind blew onto Yu Huang’s face.
When Yin Fu saw Yu Huang’s hair flutter without any wind, she immediately trembled. “Yu Huang! Your hair suddenly moved! The ghost is blowing at you!”
Yu Huang said, “Be quiet!”
Yin Fu was clearly the older sister, but she didn’t dare disobey Yin Huang.
Afraid that she would anger Yu Huang, Yin Fu shut her mouth tightly.
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and stared at the void in front of her. She suddenly raised her right hand and explored the void. It should have been empty air, but her fingers touched skin.
It was warm to the touch, and something that looked like eyelashes trembled at her fingertips.
Yu Huang was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously, “Is that you? You’re Prime Master Jing An’s partner?”
The air suddenly twisted, and then the touch on Yu Huang’s fingertip disappeared.
That thing had run away.
Yu Huang retracted her finger and stared at it for a moment before saying with certainty, “Prime Master Jing An’s beast form is still alive. The ghost you encountered earlier was Prime Master Jing An’s beast form.”
“What?” Yin Fu was shocked. “You mean that Prime Master Jing An’s beast form has always been alive? For the past two thousand years, he has been guarding the Saint Tomb and accompanying Prime Master Jing An’s soul?”
“Yes.” Yu Huang stared at the painting wall and suddenly understood why Prime Master Jing An would rather give up all the men in the world and only date her beast form.
Although she couldn’t see her lover, her lover never left her.
He was everywhere.
The two of them had such a deep relationship. No wonder they could create a couple’s cultivation technique together.
“Let’s continue walking.”
“Okay.”
Yin Fu followed Yin Huang’s footsteps and quickly shuttled through the winding and complicated passageway. She continued walking for more than ten minutes before suddenly reaching the end.
Was this the end?
Yin Fu said suspiciously, “That’s not right. We didn’t even enter the main tomb of Prime Master Jing An. Why is there no way out?”
“It’s not that there’s no way out.” Yu Huang raised her head and looked at the wall in front of her. She said, “The way is blocked.”
Sheng Lingfeng had said that every Saint Tomb had a tomb guardian beast, a level 7 demon beast. The tomb guardian beast was the last test before one entered the main tomb.
A level 7 demon beast was not something Yu Huang could resist with her current strength.
Just as Yu Huang was at her wit’s end, Yin Rong arrived.
Yin Rong had clearly experienced a few battles as well. Her clan uniform was stained with blood, and her tied-up long hair was completely let down, but there was a sense of beauty amidst her disheaveled appearance.
“So you’ve all walked in front of me.” Yin Rong nodded at the two of them before striding to Yu Huang’s side.
Looking up at the wall in front of her, Yin Rong told Yu Huang, “I heard from Father that there’s a level 7 tomb guardian beast in the Saint Tomb. This tomb guardian beast is the embodiment of loyalty. They are the last obstacle guarding the entrance to the Saint Tomb.”
Yin Rong smiled at Yu Huang and said, “Yu Huang, let’s work together to defeat her and then compete. How about that?”
Yu Huang thought about it and agreed.
Yin Fu also agreed.
Yin Fu stood on the leftmost side, Yin Rong stood in the middle, and Yu Huang stood on the right.
The three of them summoned their beast forms together. Yu Huang stared at the three-eyed unicorn that Yin Rong summoned. She suddenly said, “Sheng Xiao accidentally lost the amethyst brooch you sold to me and Sheng Xiao last time. Yin Rong, can you make another one for us when you’re free? That’s my token of love with Sheng Xiao.”
Yin Rong naturally agreed. “Alright, I’ll make it for you later.”
Yu Huang smiled and said, “Alright, thank you.”
Yin Fu found them annoying and urged, “Alright, let’s get started.”
“Alright!”
The Green Ghost Octopus, the Three-Eyed Unicorn, and the Divine Feather Phoenix stood side by side, and their bodies emitted powerful light. Yin Fu said, “The Tomb Protector Beast’s cultivation level is high. Let’s not hold back. Use our strongest moves.”
“Alright!”
The Green Ghost Octopus floated above Yin Fu’s head. Yin Fu summoned her weapon again. It was a unique-looking Pixiu. When Yin Fu used the Pixiu, it could increase the energy of her beast form.
At the same time, Yin Rong’s three-eyed unicorn became even larger. The unicorn lowered its head slightly, and its pure white horn instantly emitted a holy glow.
At this moment, Yu Huang also closed her eyes. A black aura emerged from between her eyebrows. Immediately after, a huge and dreamy black nine-tailed fox suddenly appeared behind Yu Huang.
When she saw the black nine-tailed fox, Yin Fu suddenly exclaimed, “Isn’t this the Grand State Master’s nine-tailed fox?! Your beast form is a phoenix. How can you summon a nine-tailed fox?” Yu Huang had used Sheng Xiao’s Black Qing Sky Dragon the last time she was in the Yin Clan.
Yin Fu looked at Yu Huang in wonder. She felt that this person was filled with mysteries.
Yu Huang smiled mysteriously and did not explain. “Come! Let this Tomb Guardian Beast see how powerful we are!”
