Chapter 445: Nightmare Puppets
"Yue Ying, why are you here? Have you been waiting for long?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile as he walked out of his room and closed the door from outside by pulling the door softly.
"Umhm!" Yue Ying smiled and shook her, then said, "I just came here a few minutes ago. it"s already been seven days, you came out only now!"
"What? Seven days?" Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this.
Yue Ying nodded her head, indicating that he was indeed closed inside his room for an entire week.
"I was still planning to go to the Fourth Floor of the Nine Story PaG.o.da, I didn"t expect time to fly by so quickly." Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and then said to Yue Ying with a gentle smile on his face: "Since I"ve been already inside closed-door seclusion for seven days, then from now on, I"ll accompany you!"
An excited smile appeared on Yue Ying"s face when she heard what Ye Xiao said just now. She suddenly held Ye Xiao"s hand and said with a joyful face, "Let"s go out now. We are currently in a world called the Heavenly Tiger World. We will stay in this world for two days. It also means that we have two days in our hands to have fun in a completely different world than ours."
"What? Heavenly Tiger World?" Ye Xiao was again surprised when he heard Yue Ying.
Yue Ying nodded her head and pulled him outside the flying boat and went with him to look around some near places or cities. Along the way, she also explained to Ye Xiao about what has happened in the days when he was still in closed-door seclusion.
Ye Xiao was really surprised to know about the Evergreen World and the Heavenly Tiger World.
Previously, he thought that Zhang Danfeng will only lead the candidates of the Immortal Star World to the location where the Compet.i.tion of the Myriad World will be held. He didn"t expect the reality to be different from what he had thought previously.
But it also alerted Ye Xiao more. The more world the flying boat he was on visits, the more dangerous it will be for him. After all, he was currently the target of the entire demon race and all the demonic cultivators.
Zhang Danfeng will definitely try to take advantage of the in-hand opportunity. He"ll definitely plot against Ye Xiao and try all means possible to get rid of him.
Ye Xiao was not wrong. When Zhang Danfeng noticed Ye Xiao going out of the Flying Ship, a fierce smile appeared on his face that was hidden behind the black clothes that were hiding not only his face but his entire body.
Immediately, he took out a communication talisman and send a message, "The Target has gone out!"
.....
Yue Ying and Ye Xiao were wandering around the street of the Cold Breeze City when Ye Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong.
He hurriedly released his Divine Sense that covered thousands of meters of land in an instant. Ye Xiao immediately found out a person that was exuding a dark black aura following him in secret.
It was not difficult for Ye Xiao to guess who the mastermind behind this was. He understood that Zhang Danfeng has already taken action.
Ye Xiao acted as if he was just looking at the things on the stalls roadside. He then casually bought a beautiful hairpin by paying 10 Middle Grade Immortal Stones to the vendor and then asked, "Senior, I"m new to this city. Can you tell me a place with only a few people or the place where no one goes normally?"
The vendor didn"t think too much. He had seen many people, mainly those who came from big families. They also come with a beautiful lady and ask for such places to do certain deeds.
The vendor first looked at Yue Ying and then he looked at Ye Xiao before saying, "Two kilometers away In the west direction, there is a small forest. Although that forest is very small, no one goes inside normally. You can go there."
"There is also an inn at the east side 500 meters away from here. You can also go there if you want."
"And..."
Following that, the vendor told Ye Xiao many places that have either very few people or no one normally goes to those places.
Ye Xiao and Yue Ying were no fool. Both of them immediately understood what the vendor was thinking. Yue Ying even cursed the vendor in her heart, saying, "perverted old man". Her entire face was red because of the embarra.s.sment and wanted nothing more than to hide somewhere so that Ye Xiao would not notice her.
Ye Xiao smiled and thanked the old man. Then the two of them visited many small and big shops. Yue Ying shopped many things. Of course, it was Ye Xiao who paid for everything that she shopped.
After a while, Ye Xiao brought Yue Ying to a restaurant and told her to go inside and eat something. He has some things to do and he"ll return after completing the thing he has to do.
At first, Yue Ying wanted to go with him but Ye Xiao urged her to go inside the restaurant and eat something delicious. He also promised that he"ll return soon. He doesn"t want to put Yue Ying in danger, so the best choice he could make was to separate from Yue Ying for some time.
After Yue Ying went inside the restaurant, Ye Xiao turned and dashed towards the small forest the vendor told him about. Very soon, he entered the small forest.
Not too far away, there was a figure closely following behind Ye Xiao. This figure"s gaze was cold as he stared fixedly at Ye Xiao"s fleeing figure.
This person was actually a woman and her figure was graceful. Her lips were red and she was holding a black pearl in her hand that was exuding a dark aura that was filled with death aura. Her name was Yue Han and she was ordered by Zhang Danfeng to kill Ye Xiao.
"He really has the aura of death order on his body. Brat, today is the day you die." Yue Han tightly held onto the pearl in her hand as she raised it to her face and said, "Come out, Demon Emperor."
Yue Han suddenly injected all of her spirit energy into the pearl. Surprisingly, her tyrannical spirit energy was black in colour.
The originally calm pearl suddenly began to glow with a deathly gray light. Soon after, a wisp of a ghost"s fog-like body appeared from the bead.
"Yue Han, you have called me out. Speak, why have you called me this time?" that ghost fog-like face looked at Yue Han and said with an evil tone that could send a chill running down anyone"s spine.
A hint of dead grey appeared in Yue Han"s eyes as she said coldly: "I want you to kill a person, it"s him!"
Yue Han pointed to the distant Ye Xiao.
The ghost let out an ear-piercing laugh, "Kill people? So simple? Consider it done but on one condition. I"ll take that brat"s blood and body.
Yue Han"s face was slightly distorted. but at this moment, Yue Han could not care so much. She immediately agreed.
Zhang Danfeng had already told her that Ye Xiao is not an easy target and she has to be extremely careful. This time, she was just checking Ye Xiao"s strength by sending someone to kill him.
"Remember, I want him dead. If you failed to kill him, I"ll destroy this pearl and your remaining soul will dissipate" Yue Han said in an almost hysterical voice. Immediately after, a transparent strand of dark power started separating from the pearl.
It immediately formed a few illusions. Reflecting the sunlight, the illusory image reflected the colourful rays of light, twisting and forming something like smoke.
In the end, some people came out of it. There were four of them. Their eyes were empty and bloodshot.
"Nightmare Puppet!"
Yue Han muttered and her mouth revealed a cruel smile. In her eyes, with these four Nightmare puppets, Ye Xiao"s death was guaranteed without a doubt.
The ghost once again returned to the pearl and said, "Yue Han, these four Nightmare Puppets possess the strength of the peak Immortal King Realm martial artists. The four puppets combined could be compared to one Immortal Emperor Realm martial artist. It shouldn"t be a problem to help you kill that brat, right? But remember, my current strength is only enough for them to act for two hours. After two hours, they will disappear without a trace."
Yue Han said: "Two hours is enough!"
The ghost gave control of the Nightmare puppets to Yue Han.
Yue Han waved her hand lightly towards the four Nightmare Puppets. Immediately, the four Nightmare Puppets bent their bodies down towards Yue Han to show their loyalty.
