Tai He Catches Up

"The Nether God Temple is a subordinate force of the Divine Blood Sect, a place specifically for training the Blood Nether Guards for the Divine Blood Sect."

"Back then, this cave was filled with endless Blood Qi and Corpse-Baleful Qi. The Nether God Temple also drew in boundless ghost energy from the Ghost Mist Domain to temper the physical bodies of the Blood Nether Guards."

"The Nether God Temple is divided into inner and outer halls. Both halls are shrouded in ghostly mist, but the outer hall is less than one-hundredth the size of the inner hall."

"The ghostly energy within the ghostly mist is different from ordinary ghostly energy. The ghostly mist disregards cultivation level and can corrupt a cultivator's physical body and soul, turning them into mindless vengeful Wraith."

"We may set foot in the outer hall, but we dare not venture into the inner hall. Once we do, we risk being corroded by the ghostly mist within a short period of time."

"The Nether Fox is a special kind of creature born from ghostly energy, capable of moving freely within the ghostly mist."

"The Nether Fox is timid by nature and will not easily leave the area of the Ghost Mist unless absolutely necessary."

"The Nether Fox feeds on the flesh and souls of living beings, and it especially Human Race."

"You are a living Human Race, making you the perfect bait to lure out the Nether Fox."

Song Wen asked, "May I ask, senior, how many Nether Fox are there in the Nether God Temple, and what their cultivation level is?"

Blood Brow said, "There's only one Nether Fox, at the Late Third Rank."

Song Wen's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Late Third Rank Demon Beast! I am merely at the Foundation Establishment level. Facing Late Third Rank Nether Fox, I would be more like courting death than becoming bait."

"Moreover, the corpse that you possessed was only at the Silver Corpse level, far weaker than a Late Third Rank Nether Fox. What gives you the confidence to kill it?"

Blood Brow said, "Don't worry about that. If I'm sending you to be bait, I certainly won't let you die easily."

"Once you step into the outer hall, the Nether Fox, lured by the scent of a living person on you, is very likely to leave the inner hall."

"Once the Nether Fox leaves the inner hall, I have my own way of killing it."

Song Wen stared at the Blood Brow, his face ashen.

The other party rambled on, but never explicitly stated what methods they had for slaying the fox, or how they could save their lives from the Nether Fox's attacks.

Blood Brow must have a way to deal with the Nether Fox, but she harbors ill intentions towards me and just wants me to go and die.

Rather than facing Late Third Rank Nether Fox, it's better to fight to the death with the Blood Brow Fish; there's still a glimmer of hope.

Song Wen pondered this in his heart.

As if seeing through Song Wen's thoughts, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his stiff, Blood Brow face.

"It seems you're not willing to be bait. In that case, I'll have no choice but to kill you and seal your soul within your corpse."

"Presumably, the body of a recently deceased Human Race can also lure out the Nether Fox."

As he spoke, the corpse energy around Blood Brow surged, and a towering aura of corpse energy rose up.

Her claws gleamed with Netherglow, radiating Sha Qi.

Just as Blood Brow was about to make his move, a loud shout suddenly echoed throughout the cave.

"Stop!"

A figure sped towards them from afar, and before the words were even finished, the figure had already arrived above the plaza.

A powerful aura swept in like a storm, enveloping the entire plaza.

Song Wen felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and even breathing became difficult.

His limbs were completely bound, making it impossible for him to move.

Song Wen was shocked. The mere aura released from the newcomer had rendered him powerless to resist. Just how strong was this person?

Blood Brow's expression also stiffened.

However, she wasn't intimidated by this aura; she was just somewhat surprised that Nascent Soul Cultivator would come to this Endless Desert devoid of Spiritual Qi.

The newcomer had a square face and wore a blue robe; he was none other than Yan Yiwen's master, Tai He.

This cave also suppressed his Law Power and Divine Sense, but not to the extent that it did for Song Wen, who was completely unable to leave his body.

His Divine Sense could still detect a distance of about one mile around.

Tai He scanned Song Wen with his Divine Sense and, after confirming that Song Wen was the 'Extreme Yin' he was looking for, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Extreme Yin, you really know how to run! You actually escaped to the Endless Desert millions of miles away."

Then, he scanned the Blood Brow with his Divine Sense.

"Hmm! You're actually using the power of your soul to forcibly control a Silver Corpse. It seems you were a Nascent Soul Cultivator in your previous life. Could you please state your name? If we're old acquaintances, I might lend you a hand and help you seize a suitable body. Occupying a corpse is ultimately not a long-term solution."

Blood Brow glanced at Song Wen with a strange expression.

They seemed surprised that the people chasing Song Wen had appeared so quickly.

She turned to look at Tai He, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

The person before them was controlling a Foundation Establishment cultivator with the Profound Yin Physique.

Blood Brow face Tai He.

"I need not trouble you with my possession of another body, fellow Daoist. You've come for this young man?"

"Exactly!" Tai He.

"I have a deal to make, I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Inside this grand hall, there is a Late Third Rank Nether Fox. Let this kid enter the hall to lure out the Nether Fox, and then we can capture Nether Fox. I only need the three tails of the Nether Fox; the body is yours. How about that?"

Tai He's eyes lit up.

"Is there truly Nether Fox in this hall?"

"Absolutely true!" Blood Brow said.

"It's a pity it's only a third-tier Nether Fox." Tai He's expression was somewhat regretful.

Blood Brow said, "Fellow Daoist, you are being rather greedy. The Nether Fox is a unique creature of the Ghost Mist Domain. The Ghost Mist Domain is hundreds of billions of miles away from here, and there is Endless Desert in between."

"The fur and bones of the Nether Fox are excellent materials for refining soul-type Law Treasure, and are extremely rare. To encounter a third-tier Nether Fox here is already an immense fortuitous opportunity of luck for both of us."

Tai He, "What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist. In that case, we will do as you say. However, you don't even have a physical body right now. Aren't you afraid that I might change my mind later and take the Nether Fox for myself?"

Blood Brow said, "In other places, I would naturally be no match for you, fellow Daoist. But in this Nether God Temple, it won't be so easy for you to gain the upper hand over me."

As he spoke, the Blood Brow, withered corpse's hand slammed heavily onto a stone pillar beside him.

Instantly, a thick mist of blood rose from the stone pillar.

The other dozens of stone pillars in the square also emitted a thick mist of blood.

The entire square was instantly shrouded in a blood mist.

Countless crimson patterns lit up on the ground of the square.

These array patterns intertwine and connect.

A crimson array suddenly appeared.
