Hell Emperor.

Chapter 405 Ye Jie - Legend
"who?"

Following the direction of the footsteps, two figures appeared in front of the ghosts.

One of the monsters had white hair that fell to the ground, and his entire body was icy cold, as if he had walked out of the ice and snow. Not only was his hair white, but even his eyebrows were white. Next to the monster, there followed a black shadow, who was wearing a black robe, had a calm expression, and faintly revealed an extraordinary aura.

"I have never seen these two demons. They are not with us."

"It's the Snow Banshee... Doesn't the Snow Banshee only appear in the snow? Why is she here?"

"Could it be that they are reinforcements from the shrine? Why bother with so much? The aura around them doesn't seem strong, so just kill them all!"

The evil spirits were talking to each other, their bright red eyes constantly looking at the two outsiders. They were ready for battle and could attack the two at any time.

Facing the ghosts who were eyeing him covetously, Ye Jie always looked calm and composed. He was even afraid of alerting the enemy and making them flee in all directions. He even specifically told the Snow Girl to restrain the aura of the big demon so as not to scare the enemy away.

Unlike many evil spirits who were rubbing their hands and eager to try, He Xiaji's eyes were always on Ye Jie, and his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

Other Heart-Eroding Souls woke up late and might not understand the situation, but he knew it clearly. The seemingly unremarkable figure behind the Snow Girl was none other than the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, whose strength was terrifying enough to be described!

Even the reason why the Heart-Eroding Souls were released and returned to their hometown to seek revenge on those witches was thanks to the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace who released them. Otherwise, they would probably still be lying in an unknown cave, waiting to be refined by the witches one day.

The evil spirits had no idea of ​​this and thought it was a delicious meal delivered to their doorstep, so of course they would not miss such a good thing:

"I haven't tasted the flavor of a snow girl yet. Today, a snow girl comes to my doorstep, allowing me to fulfill my wish!"

"Kill them, kill them!"

Looking at the evil spirits who were ready to make a move, Ye Jie looked calm and spoke slowly: "It seems that this group of evil spirits are the culprits who destroyed the Linhai Shrine. If we kill them, we can establish a relationship with the Wushen Temple."

The Snow Girl had just this thought. Her crystal clear eyes suddenly turned into a deep blue as clear as the sea. No one knew what she did, but the temperature around her suddenly dropped. Suddenly, cold snowflakes began to fall from the originally clear sky.

The evil spirits that were her enemies felt even worse. Whenever they touched the falling snowflakes, their feet would take root in the ground. The frozen ice would spread up their legs and completely wrap their entire body in a blink of an eye, turning them into a lifelike ice sculpture.

The Snow Girl leaned down and slapped the ground with her palm. A strong air wave spread out with her as the center. All the frozen evil spirits were completely shattered under the impact, turning into a puff of green smoke, and their souls were completely destroyed.

“Nice move.”

Ye Jie nodded. As a demon fairy, the Snow Girl was indeed good at clearing out the weak soldiers.

As he spoke, Ye Jie looked into the distance: "But, you still let some evil spirits escape."

When the Snow Girl attacked, she revealed the vast aura of a demon fairy, which immediately shocked the ghosts around her. They didn't even have a demon fairy among them, so how could they fight against such a big demon? They immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

He Xiaji was one of them. After recognizing Ye Jie's identity, he turned around and ran away. No one understood the horror of the Master of the Golden Wheel Palace better than him. If he stayed any longer, he would only die.

Without having time to think about why the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace appeared in Japan, He Xiaji only regretted that he did not have two pairs of legs. Before he could run far, the snowstorm that broke out behind him and the evil ghost companions who turned into ice sculptures and shattered one by one made him terrified. The evil ghosts who had just been chasing and killing the witches were now the targets of others, which really made him miserable.

After running for an unknown amount of time, He Xiaji just felt exhausted. The physical fatigue made him breathe a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head. Is he finally safe now?

"Where are you planning to escape to?"

The whispers coming from behind made He Xiaji's soul scared to death. He turned around tremblingly, only to see that the Lord of the Golden Wheel Palace had come behind him with the same calm expression.

"Including you, you are the last one." Ye Jie spoke slowly. The implication in his words made He Xiaji shudder. The evil ghost companions who had just displayed their magical powers and fled in all directions are now gone and have been wiped out.

"Master of the Golden Wheel Palace! You let us go, why do you want to kill us now? Didn't you say that this is the land of Japan and is under the jurisdiction of the Wushen Palace, not the Golden Wheel Palace? Why do you want to interfere with our revenge?"

He Xiaji asked loudly, trying to persuade Ye Jie to save his life.

Ye Jie sighed deeply at this, thinking of the tragic deaths of the priestesses in the Linhai Shrine, and felt a little bit reluctant in his heart. He said righteously:
"Those witches died because of me. I am sorry for them. You will soon be killed because of me. I am sorry for you too. But for my family, I have no choice. Even if many innocent people will suffer because of me, even if it will cause the lives of people in the world to be destroyed, I will not hesitate. So please die. I beg you!"

He Xiaji opened his mouth wide. What on earth was he talking about? Why did he act like he was begging him when he was clearly going to kill him?
Before He Xiaji could figure it all out, he saw a sharp emerald green light suddenly burst out, and four blue dragon claw marks swept through the air. His soul shattered and completely disappeared.

The Snow Girl who followed behind also heard what the two said. The look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Jie also changed slightly: "So, you released all these evil spirits? It turned out that you were the culprit who killed those witches... Why did you do this?"

Ye Jie said righteously: "This is all for my family. Maybe I am sorry to those witches, but I am worthy of my family. My family is my strength."

The Snow Girl was silent. She was going to find the witch and also wanted to contact her husband in the Soul Devouring Abyss. She also wanted to do it for her family. Even if she wanted to blame Ye Jie, she couldn't say anything. She could only say, "You'd better not let the witch know about this. Who knows what trouble it might cause."

Ye Jie nodded: "You don't have to tell me, of course I understand."

After dealing with the fleeing evil spirits, Ye Jie and the Snow Girl returned to the Linhai Shrine. However, the Snow Girl's expression was no longer filled with indignation as she had at the beginning when she was seeking revenge for the witch. Instead, she became somewhat silent. Returning to the shrine, Ye Jie found the witch hiding there, feeling uneasy, and said to her, "We have wiped out the evil spirits that were causing chaos. The revenge of your sisters has finally been avenged. If they knew about this, their souls would surely rest in peace."

The witch did not answer but looked very sad. From the previous communication with her, Ye Jie also knew her name. Her name was Bai Zaoyu. Because she was timid and afraid of death, she chose to commit suicide for the sake of heavenly merit, so as to preserve her soul. However, those witches who fought bravely with the evil spirits all ended up with their souls scattered. It has to be said that it is quite ironic.

The Snow Girl spoke at this time and explained her purpose: "You are the ghost messenger of the Witch God Temple, right? My husband has been suppressed in the Soul Devouring Abyss and has been separated from me for many years. I miss him very much and want to seek the help of the Red Veil. Can you take me to find it?"

"Red veil? You're looking for it?"

Hearing the Snow Girl mention the red veil, Bai Zaoyu's pupils shrank, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying. He couldn't help but tremble all over, and even his speech became incoherent. It seemed that just mentioning that name was an ominous taboo.

The Snow Girl nodded: "Only it can help me. Even if it costs me a price, I have already prepared for it."

At the end of her speech, Xue Nu subconsciously turned her head and looked at Ye Jie beside her. Also for his family, what Ye Jie did was much more serious than what she did. Even so, Ye Jie still looked determined and even she was slightly moved.

"Okay..." After the repeated requests from the Snow Girl, Bai Zaoyu couldn't refuse her and finally agreed, "You helped the sisters of the witches to rest in peace, so you can be considered friends of the Witch God Temple. If it were you, you would be qualified to see the Red Veil."

At the end, Bai Zaoyu couldn't help but glance at Xuenv and reminded her: "Hong Haitou won't help you for no reason. You need to pay a price. I think you have already made plans. Don't regret it."

Listening to the two people's words, Ye Jie couldn't help but become a little more curious. Now that he saw the witch beside him, he couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me, can you tell me what the red veil you are talking about is?"

Bai Zaoyu panicked, widened his eyes, and corrected him: "Thing? It's not a thing, but an ancient spirit that resides in the Wushen Temple. It's not something that ordinary ghosts can question. If you are disrespectful to the red veil, you will probably be haunted by bad luck and die without knowing how."

Ye Jie's mouth twitched, and he had to change his words: "Okay, just treat it as a slip of the tongue, but I really don't know how this spirit called Red Veil can help her? Her husband is suppressed in the most heavily guarded Soul Devouring Abyss, and no evil spirit can escape from it. Could it be that this Red Veil can contact the Shura of the Demon Palace?"

"Ashura?" Bai Zaoyu snorted coldly when he mentioned Shura, as if it was a rather bad title. "It seems that you really don't know the legend of the red veil. How can you imagine the power of the ancient spirit?"

Ye Jie shrugged, and then listened to Bai Zaoyu: "Let me tell you, let alone the Soul Devouring Abyss, even if the soul you are looking for is far away, the Red Gaitou can help you find it. There is no prison or restriction that can stop the Red Gaitou! However, if you want the Red Gaitou to take action, you need to pay a price."

"The price..."

Ye Jie touched his chin. If the Red Veil's ability was really as strong as Bai Zaoyu said, then it would certainly not attack for no reason. He didn't know how generous the reward would be to invite the ancient spirit. Even when the Snow Girl mentioned the price, there was a flash of fear in her eyes.

"Come with me. The Linhai Shrine has been destroyed. Except for me, all the priestesses have been killed. I have to go to the large shrine nearby to seek help from the guru there. Even the village below the shrine has been destroyed by those evil spirits. It looks like the Linhai Shrine may be completely destroyed..."

After some casual chat, Bai Zaoyu quickly cheered up, put aside his previous unhappiness and sadness, and prepared to set off.

Since he had agreed to their request, Baizaoyu immediately fulfilled his promise and took them along, bringing them to a stream behind the Rinkai Shrine. The stream was rushing, the waterway was long, and at the beginning of the waterway, there was a small boat tied.

Seeing this, Ye Jie couldn't help scratching his head. He had heard that the Temple of the God of Witches was the Temple of Yama stationed in the human world, and that the ghosts in the temple were very close to humans. He didn't expect that the rumors were true. The Temple of the God of Witches was actually located in the human world, so he had to travel like ordinary practitioners, and could not directly use the shrinking stone to move.

"By the way, isn't there an easier way? Don't you have the Earth-Shrinking Stone? Do you have to travel this way?"

Looking at the small boat prepared by Bai Zaoyu, Ye Jie felt embarrassed. At this speed, he didn't know when he would be able to reach the main hall of the Witch God Temple.

Bai Zaoyu didn't think so. He said, "Although this boat is a little broken, it is still a ninth-grade spiritual tool. On weekdays, the priestesses in the shrine are responsible for cleaning it in turns. We can't let this spiritual boat be contaminated with dust... Let's not talk about this. Are you going with us?"

"All right……"

Ye Jie held his forehead and sighed. Not long ago, he had ridden Shen Qingge's flying sword and arrived here at an unimaginable speed. But now he had replaced it with a ninth-grade spirit boat, which looked very shabby. The gap between the two really made him feel helpless.

"Let's just take the spiritual boat. It's better than walking..."

No matter how much he complained, he couldn't change the current result. Ye Jie had no choice but to accept it and boarded the spirit boat with the Snow Girl, waiting for Bai Zaoyu to row the boat.

"Are you sitting tight? If you get seasick or fall off halfway, I won't be able to pull you up," Bai Zaoyu reminded the two.

Ye Jie looked at her small body. The bamboo pole she used to support the boat was even thicker than her slender arms. He couldn't help but cough:
"Although this spiritual boat is a magical weapon, given your physique, I'm afraid you will run out of strength in a short while. Otherwise, let me do it. At least I won't run out of strength halfway..."

In response, Bai Zaoyu glared at him and quickly moved the bamboo pole aside, not giving Ye Jie a chance to snatch it away: "What do you know? This is the witch's spiritual boat, specially used to ferry the dead souls. If I let you row it, I'm afraid it will capsize in a short while. You'd better sit still and let me do it."

After saying that, Bai Zaoyu pushed the bamboo pole. No one knew what she did, but the spirit boat suddenly accelerated and passed through the river like lightning, and even the surrounding scenery became blurred.

"Is it because of the formation?..."

Ye Jie was stunned for a moment and lowered his head. From the contact between the spirit boat and the stream, he felt an unusual spatial assist, and there was a faint sense of movement. It seemed that the Underworld Array of the Witch God Temple was exerting its power. It seemed that it would not be long before they could reach the destination of this trip.
