Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 641 - 620: Second Update

"Master—" Master Yu Sheng called softly, yet he had already realized his master was not responding to him. However, at this moment, with the arrival of the black smog, Master Huo Yi suddenly seemed to "come to life." His eyes swiftly moved, his gaze fixing on the mass of black smoke.

The cluster of black smoke slowly settled in front of everyone, and to everyone’s surprise, the smoke did not disperse but rather slowly gathered, eventually taking the shape of a person.

"Master of the Ghoul Ravine—" Ju Nanyi recognized the person who appeared, and Zong Yunqian also recognized him, disbelief written across his face.

Because, the information held by Qiandao Temple was that the master of the Ghoul Ravine, after practicing these spells, had gone mad...

and died.

This information was personally investigated by him, and he knew it better than anyone else. However, now, the Master of the Ghoul Ravine truly appeared right before his eyes.

"Hahaha—my son indeed did not misjudge." No one expected that after slowly revealing his true face, the first words the Master of the Ghoul Ravine would say were these.

Zheng Nianru abruptly looked up, staring at the Master of the Ghoul Ravine.

"Can you save him?" Zheng Nianru’s voice trembled as she looked at the elder who had appeared, "You are his father, you can save him, can’t you?"

"My lady—" Xing Yu was somewhat frightened and held back Zheng Nianru, who wanted to step forward, as the elder looked not to be trifled with.

"Rest assured, I will not let you become a widow." The elder nodded with a smile. Ju Nanyi immediately looked at the Master of the Ghoul Ravine, what did that mean?

After the Master of the Ghoul Ravine spoke, he put away his smile and looked at the present Master Huo Yi, scoffing coldly.

"Huo Yi, it’s a miracle that you’ve lived till today." The Master of the Ghoul Ravine said as he stepped forward, a step making the people of Qiandao Temple involuntarily step back, except for those standing in the front: Master Huo Yi, Master Yu Sheng, and Zong Yunqian. At this moment, Master Yu Sheng also involuntarily clenched his fists. It seemed that the Master of the Ghoul Ravine was their biggest variable.

But, Master...

Everyone involuntarily looked at Master Huo Yi.

"I never thought I would see you again—" The next moment, Master Huo Yi spoke; his voice was as before, humble and revered by thousands, as if in an instant, the original Master Huo Yi had returned.

"Master—" Master Yu Sheng and Zong Yunqian exclaimed in surprise at the same time; at this moment, they realized their master’s expression was no longer stiff, only his complexion was too pale, as if he was struggling to conceal something.

Master Yu Sheng was just about to approach when he heard Master Huo Yi speak softly.

"I’m fine, take the disciples of Qiandao Temple and leave first."

Master Yu Sheng was taken aback, instinctively refusing.

"No, Master, we will advance and retreat together with you." Master Yu Sheng said firmly.

"Nonsense—" Master Huo Yi was anxious, but knowing Master Yu Sheng’s temperament, there was nothing else he could do at the moment. If only Ling Yi were here...

"Very well, very well, very well, Huo Yi, a duel between us should have happened much earlier, waiting until now is already too late," said the Master of the Ghoul Ravine, then glanced at Yin He on the ground.

"Girl, take good care of him." After speaking, the Master of the Ghoul Ravine swiftly charged toward Master Huo Yi, transforming into smoke in an instant, which made everyone’s eyes widen in shock.

"Move aside—" Master Huo Yi shouted loudly and his robe corners flew up, even his hair started to float, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he turned into smoke just like the Master of the Ghoul Ravine, leaving everyone from Qiandao Temple dumbfounded.

Instantly, the smoke merged together and moved towards mid-air, turning into two black monsters. One was a giant with a massive head that had a wide-open mouth tearing at the other monster.

The other monster, which had just had its power devoured by Master Huo Yi, now had four long tentacles that had coiled around its opponent.

"Master—" Zong Yunqian immediately rose into the air, his magic artifact thrust toward the giant-mouthed monster, which shrank back at the spot where it was stabbed.

Master Yu Sheng was overjoyed and immediately followed up, rushing toward the giant-mouthed monster.

"Hiss—" The giant-mouthed monster suddenly deflated like it was punctured, while the tentacled monster that Master Huo Yi had transformed into quickly tightened its grip. However, before Zong Yunqian and the others could celebrate, suddenly, the punctured spot opened another gaping mouth and instantly swallowed Zong Yunqian.

Seeing the turn of events, Master Yu Sheng tried to pull Zong Yunqian back, but the giant mouth in front of him moved even faster and swallowed him as well.

Instantly, the air in mid-air surged more violently, and the air seemed to be drained, making it difficult for everyone on the ground to breathe, especially the disciples of Qiandao Temple.

"Retreat quickly—" Although there were only a few disciples of Qiandao Temple remaining, and their skills were far inferior to the eldest brother and the others, they were the last hope left for Qiandao Temple.

But before they could get far, the disciple of Qiandao Temple at the front suddenly stopped, his body still in the running pose. The next moment, with a soft ’puff,’ a sound quite clear, reached everyone’s ears. Ju Nanyi was the first to sense something off and quickly grabbed Zheng Nianru and the others.

Then, another ’puff’ was heard. After this sound, the disciple of Qiandao Temple at the front’s body, like a ripe berry being crushed, emitted a black liquid like ink, leaving only a pile of bones.

The disciples of Qiandao Temple looked at each other and dared not move any further. The source of the second sound was also a disciple of Qiandao Temple, who like the first one, instantly turned into sheer bones.

"This place has been tampered with—" Ju Nanyi glanced around and dared not move any further. It had been Elder Su’s intention from the beginning to lure them here, and it seemed it was not a coincidence; there was something eerie about this place.

Everyone had no choice but to turn again to watch the mid-air, where the black smoke was swirling even faster. Soon after, two sets of sheer bones were thrown down from mid-air, and everyone knew what that meant.

Zheng Nianru glanced at Xing Yu, who still showed no signs of awakening on Yin He’s back, her breath was so faint it was scarcely perceptible. But Qiandao Temple would not win. It wasn’t Zheng Nianru’s intuition, but her past life’s experience, reminding her that if Qiandao Temple didn’t fall to Ju Nanyi’s hands, it would fall to someone else’s.

Ju Nanyi knew it too, but that only made the situation more complicated, especially since the Ghoul Ravine now seemed even harder to deal with than Qiandao Temple. If the Ghoul Ravine won, that would be a real problem.

Ju Nanyi knew he had to come up with a solution before this struggle ended.

However, contrary to his expectations, this battle concluded faster than anyone had imagined. Before everyone could calm down their racing hearts, those three great mouths suddenly all at once lunged at Master Huo Yi.

Ju Nanyi’s expression changed, and without thinking, he rushed forward, a Golden Whip appearing in his hand, which he wrapped around Master Huo Yi’s "tentacles".
