Hell Emperor.

Chapter 353 Xia Wei-Confrontation
Seeing the large group of dead bodies lying in front of her, Hua Xiaomei's face turned pale and she gasped: "This...what is going on? Why is it so tragic here?"

Ren Changhong quickly stepped forward and half-knelt beside several of the dead. He carefully examined their injuries and soon found the problem: "Such smooth cut marks, and there are also burn marks on the edges... There is no doubt that these people must have died from the Demon Eye."

Hua Xiaomei was horrified and said in disbelief: "You mean, all these people's deaths were caused by Sister Xia Wei?"

Ren Changhong didn't answer, but her stern expression said it all.

"Why did she do this?" Hua Xiaomei was very confused and couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

Ye Jie looked solemn, and soon came up with an idea as he looked around: "Random guesses like this will lead to no results. Let the deceased tell us himself."

After that, Ye Jie came to the remains of a man who was still warm and said slowly, "Soul is back."

As Ye Jie finished his words, a cold wind blew up and a ghost with red eyes came out from the remains and rushed towards Ye Jie.

"It's a beast-shaped ghost... Be careful! Their souls have been contaminated by the beast-shaped poison."

Ren Changhong's pupils shrank. Beast-shaped ghosts are different from ordinary ghosts. They are completely unable to communicate and are extremely harmful. They will turn other creatures into beast-shaped ghosts. There is no way to recover them. Once discovered, they must be eradicated.

She was about to swing her sword to kill the beast-shaped ghost once and for all, but Ye Jie reached out to stop her: "Don't panic, leave it to me."

Ren Changhong was puzzled: "He has become a beast-shaped ghost. There is no hope for him. Even if he is sent into reincarnation, he will not be able to regain consciousness. He will only cause more damage. It is best to eliminate him as soon as possible. Don't even think about getting involved with the beast-shaped ghost."

Ye Jie did not answer. He took out seven stitched pages from his arms and started to modify the name file of the ghost in front of him, directly erasing the beast-shaped ghost word behind the name.

Soon, a scene that surprised everyone happened. The beast-shaped ghost that had just gone completely mad and tried to attack everyone, now stood there, his eyes clear again, and he stroked his body with an expression of disbelief, as if he was immersed in the situation before his death and couldn't extricate himself.

"Do you remember what just happened?" Ye Jie asked.

The man looked disappointed and tried to recall: "Just now, a monster suddenly appeared in the sky. It had four claws and two wings, and its feathers were pitch black, except for its face which was frighteningly white. I just remember smelling a strange fragrance, and then I couldn't remember clearly, but I vaguely remember that after that, I seemed to be attacking someone else..."

Listening to the man's description, Ye Jie also realized what happened here, and sent him to the Golden Wheel Palace. He said, "It seems that the beast-shaped envoy has been here. The people here can't resist the erosion of the beast-shaped poison, and all turned into beast-shaped ghosts... Maybe because of this, Xiaowei will free the people here."

Ye Jie looked at the people around him, wanting to hear their opinions, but he saw that they were all staring at him with strange faces. He couldn't help but feel confused: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Ren Changhong was surprised and puzzled: "How did you do it? You actually made the beast ghost regain its sanity and get rid of its madness. Once the beast poison corrodes the soul, even the beast master cannot remove it, but you did it..."

"Well... I modified his file and erased the record of the beast-shaped ghost from the file, and he recovered naturally." Ye Jie did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

After listening to Ye Jie's story, Ren Changhong finally understood how he did it all. His eyes lingered on the fragment in Ye Jie's hand for a moment, and he sighed:

"I never thought that the main account stitching page would have such magical power. It can modify any file. It is worthy of being the artifact that His Highness Moro has spent so much effort to collect... The power of the main account stitching page is so strong, you must not let outsiders know."

Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but feel a little worried: "So, Xia Wei was attacked by the beast master and had to retreat. Where is she now?"

After Ye Jie's investigation, he found the unusual traces of battle in the distance, which made him understand: "Judging from the traces, they should be heading this way. Let's hurry up and follow them."

Upon hearing this, everyone set off immediately and followed the trail all the way.

After an unknown amount of time, the dazzling light coming from the front and the buzzing sound of the laser sweeping across the sky completely attracted the attention of several people.

"This is a sign of the magic light being activated. Sister Xia Wei is right ahead!"

Hua Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she noticed the familiar signs of martial arts. Who else could be able to use the Purple Demon Pupil if not Xia Wei?

Beside her, Ren Changhong had a serious expression on his face: "Be careful... Xia Wei is not the only one there."

Hua Xiaomei was slightly stunned. She looked over the obstacle in front of her and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Just as Ren Changhong said, there was more than just Xia Wei ahead. The one fighting against Xia Wei was a long-haired ghost fairy with black mist coming out of her. The ghost fairy had a human body, but his arms had turned into beast-like claws. His movements were as fast as lightning. Even the magic light in Xia Wei's eyes failed to capture his figure.

Taking advantage of the gap when the laser missed, the ghost fairy flew forward and swept across with its sharp claws. Xia Wei waved her palm to meet it, and the collision made a loud bang of metal clashing.

The bodies separated as soon as they touched, and the ghost fairy was completely unharmed, but Xia Wei had several wounds on her arms, and blood flowed down her forearms. She clenched her fists tightly and started to circulate the Hundred Refining Body, and the wounds healed rapidly without even a trace of scar left.

"You are indeed quite capable, daring to speak so arrogantly in front of me, Xiao En. It's a pity that you are a foolish person and cannot be used by the Beast Palace."

Seeing that Xia Wei's injuries had healed in a blink of an eye, Xiao En narrowed his eyes, a look of regret in his eyes.

"You coward, all you can do is run away? Do you dare to stop running and fight me to the death?" Xia Wei glared and shouted angrily.

"You really don't plan to join the Beast Hall? If you join us, you will be able to resolve the confusion and bewilderment in your heart. With your talent, you will definitely shine in the Beast Hall. Your anger and hatred are only understood by the Beast Hall. This matter is also recorded in the scriptures in the hall..."

Xiao En opened his mouth slowly and was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by Xia Wei.

"Go to hell! I want to avenge those people you turned into beast-shaped ghosts!" The blazing magic light approached again. Xiao En shook his head with a disappointed look on his face.

"I've already said that I was helping them to escape. Also, do you really think I'm afraid of you? I just want to recruit you into the Beast Hall because I see that you have some potential. Since you insist on dying, you can't blame me! Try to see how powerful the Owl Beast is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao En's body swelled up, and thick hair completely wrapped his body. He turned into a dark beast with a pale face, wings spread wide behind him, and his momentum reached its peak!
"Oh no! It's the beast form master's most skilled wild beast transformation, and the one he transformed into is an extremely ferocious owl beast. This is bad..."

Seeing the changes in Xiao En, Ren Changhong looked anxious and said that things were going to be bad.

Under the suppression of the equality formation, Xiao En's aura was maintained at the peak of the third-turn ghost fairy, but his true strength was far more than that. Xia Wei was afraid that she would find it difficult to resist an enemy of this level.

Hua Xiaomei's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but glance at Ye Jie beside her: "Don't panic, Brother Jie is here. As long as he takes action, the beast user will definitely not be able to make any waves."

Hearing this, Ren Changhong also turned his hopeful gaze to Ye Jie. It seemed that the hope of defeating the beast-user lay with him.

Ye Jie had a different opinion on this. He waved his hand and said, "No hurry... Xiao Wei can face an enemy like the Beast Master in a life-and-death battle. This is a test for her. You don't always get to meet such an enemy. This is a rare opportunity. When she is about to lose, it won't be too late for me to take action."

Unlike Ye Jie who modified the martial arts files, Xia Wei grew up step by step on her own and relied on the fighting skills honed by walking on the brink of life and death. Although she is not very old, she has experienced more life-and-death experiences than the others.

For Xia Wei, facing such a powerful enemy as the Beast Master is both a challenge and a test. Only by going through the test of life and death can her potential be stimulated to the extreme.

Ye Jie still remembered that Xia Wei was best at breaking through in the middle of a battle. The stronger the enemy, the greater the sense of oppression she felt, the more she could create miracles and complete impossible reversals. On the contrary, if Xia Wei was allowed to practice her skills step by step, the effect would not be so good.

Besides, the aura emanating from Xiao En was even more powerful than that of the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace. Even Ye Jie was secretly amazed. Even with the Wanhua-level Divine Dragon Transformation, he might not be able to defeat him. If he acted rashly, he would lose the advantage of hiding in the dark and make the enemy alert. He had to wait for the right opportunity.

In front, a pitch-black owl beast roared strangely, and the rumbling sound waves spread out like ripples. Xia Wei, who was standing in place, was pushed back dozens of steps before she could stabilize her body.

The wind and sand were dancing wildly, making Xia Wei's pupils sore that she could not keep her magic pupils functioning. When she blinked subconsciously, the owl beast rushed to her side in one leap.

As the danger approached, Xia Wei raised the Qingfeng Sword, practiced sword techniques, and swung the sword to meet the attack. However, in the face of the violent force that was stronger than the Demon King, she could not hold on for even a moment. She flew backwards a hundred steps, knocking down countless tree trunks before she stopped.

"cough……"

Xia Wei was hit so hard that blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and the two braids tied behind her head were also scattered. She knelt on one knee, supported the ground with the Qingfeng sword, and quickly circulated the Hundred Refining Body to repair the injuries on her body. It was unknown what material this Qingfeng sword was made of. It was obviously only an eighth-grade spiritual weapon, but there was not even a trace of bending on the surface.

Ye Jie saw Xia Wei's injuries and felt distressed: "Hiss... No, this beast-former is too strong. His realm alone is enough to crush her. If she continues like this, Xiao Wei will not be able to learn anything and will be completely defeated without any room for resistance... In this case, I'd better modify a few of her skills files..."

Just as Ye Jie was thinking about upgrading Xia Wei's Hundred Refined Body to a few levels so that she could quickly repair her injuries, he saw a flash of light around Xia Wei. Her face, which was just covered with dust, now seemed to be thoroughly washed, without a trace of dust.

At the same time, Xia Wei, who had just been injured and had her body covered in blood, was now called upon and reintegrated into her body, making her skin look white and flawless, like freshly fired porcelain. In just a blink of an eye, all her injuries were healed.

At the side, Hua Xiaomei seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's the effect of the Hundred Refinements... Sister Xia Wei's Hundred Refinements has entered a new stage. She must have reached the Return to the True Realm level now, right?"

Ren Changhong was even more surprised: "No, it looks like her body has been transformed by heaven and man. In other words, she has reached the level of heaven and man, breaking through two levels... Could it be that you changed her file?"

Seeing several people looking over, Ye Jie helplessly spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I didn't even have time to make changes, and she broke through on her own... Maybe this is what genius is."

Hua Xiaomei was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She said in a trembling voice, "To break through two stages of martial arts in one breath, even in a battle with a strong enemy, even a peerless genius can't do this, right?"

Seeing the pitch-black owl beast approaching again, waving its sharp claws and trying to kill Xia Wei on the spot, Hua Xiaomei could no longer bear to watch and hurriedly said:

"No, I can't watch it anymore. It would be terrible if something happened to Sister Xia Wei. How can I let Sister Xia Wei fight alone against such a strong enemy? I have to help her!"

Ren Changhong glanced at Ye Jie and understood his idea. As expected, only a dangerous battle could inspire Xia Wei's potential, so he said, "I'll go too."

Ye Jie nodded to the two of them: "Don't worry, if anyone is in danger, I will protect them."

The two looked at each other. With Ye Jie's assurance, they were undoubtedly relieved and immediately stepped forward to help.

Xia Wei, who was being suppressed, suddenly heard a familiar voice beside her ear: "Sister Xia Wei, we are here to help you, beast user, eat my cloud-blind eyes!"

Xia Wei was delighted when she heard the words. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hua Xiaomei and Ren Changhong rushing over. She couldn't help but remind them, "Be careful! The beast-shaped user is very powerful. Ordinary skills will not work on him..."

Before Xia Wei finished her words, Hua Xiaomei raised her hand and pointed. A dark ghost suddenly appeared behind the dark owl beast, and stretched out its hands to cover his eyes.

"You are just a trick, and you want to block my vision? Eye of the Night Owl!"

Although his vision was blocked, Xiao En was not afraid at all. He let out a loud cry, and a bright white light burst out from his pupils, and he was about to break through the black fog blockade in front of him.

After transforming into an owl beast, his vision was greatly enhanced. Not only could he see darkness as nothing, but he could also see clearly the patterns on leaves dozens of miles away. Only such sharp vision could be called the eyes of a night owl!
However, this time, he miscalculated. A white light surged up, but was immediately extinguished by the even deeper darkness. The ghost hand covering his eyes remained, and he still could not see anything clearly.
