People in Jiejiao, Plague God Lu Yue

Chapter 1025 The Pale-Faced Scholar, The Tiger King's Secret

Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by some kind of formidable monster. He turned around and saw something not far away.

A shadowy figure.

A pale-faced scholar appeared.

He was pale, with a black tongue, bloodshot eyes, and a feathered hat. He had a refined and scholarly appearance, if one ignored the chilling aura emanating from him.

I thought he was a scholar on his way to take the imperial examination.

"A wretched ghost!"

Lu Yue frowned slightly. This method was so crude that it was appalling, as if he had entered a ghost story. Lu Yue stared into the depths of the shadows, still curled up on the ground.

The tiger king, his entire body taut with strength.

She was staring at him, motionless.

It resembles a cold, lifeless sculpture.

He spoke calmly, "Why do you, a cultivator, possess the aura of one of our kind?"

“A roadblock has been dealt with by this humble Taoist.”

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, what brings you to suddenly appear behind me?" Lü Yue cautiously observed the black tiger before him, which remained motionless behind the ghost.

But the aura emanating from him.

Having already touched the threshold of the Great Dao Realm, the Tiger King of the Harmony Dao Realm truly surprised him. The aura emanating from him was far superior to that of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Primordial World.

It's just as good.

Clearly, it was not a simple tiger king.

"So it was you who killed me."

immediately!

The Tiger King made a sudden move, flicking its tail and passing through layers of space to land in front of Lü Yue's face. Lü Yue's eyes flashed, and the Plague-Suppressing Flag behind him shone with white light.

They blocked the Tiger King's attack.

Then came a tiger's roar, which came from the mouth of the ghost. A mournful sound pierced the eardrums. Lü Yue flashed away, creating distance and sealing off his five senses.

He temporarily suppressed the voice of the ghost, then a flash of white light appeared in his hand, and the whisk transformed into sharp swords, shooting towards the shadowy figure where the Tiger King was.

Hey, hey, hey.

The smoke cleared.

The shadow vanished, and the Ghostly Demon let out a cold laugh as it swept towards Lü Yue. He dared not be careless and flicked the Myriad Soul Banner, enveloping the Ghostly Demon completely.

"receive!"

A thought came to my mind.

The Ghost of Sorrow was taken into the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, and the Tiger King let out a painful howl as the connection between him and the Ghost of Sorrow was severed in an instant.

"Good means."

"I admit I am inferior. Is this some kind of supernatural power of a cultivator?" The Tiger King looked at the wary Lü Yue with interest and spoke calmly.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that."

“I sensed a kindred spirit on you, which is why I came out to investigate. Fellow Daoist, you are from beyond this realm, and you must have come for rare and precious treasures. I am the king of this valley.”

"If you agree to my request, I can send tens of thousands of Ghost Flame Tigers to serve you and collect the rare and precious materials in the valley. You are not the first cultivator to enter here."

And it won't be the last one.

What do you think?

Lu Yue's eyes flickered as he looked at the Tiger King before him. Why had he changed his attitude? With his Dao Integration Realm cultivation, he completely overwhelmed Lu Yue, who was at the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Could it be...?
He thought of a possibility.

The tiger king before him was dark by nature. As he said, the Ghost Flame Tiger was a race he discovered after entering this world.

None of them took on a physical form.

They are still in a primitive state, which is obviously abnormal for cultivators. In other words, while they are absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, their bodies are still in a primitive state.

They were also cursed by the omnipresent aura of calamity.

It cannot transform.

Unable to escape this world formed by the power of the curse. "What is it?"

"If it is to force someone to do something they cannot do, I am not sure I can do it, and I am afraid that I would be going against the Tiger King's good intentions?"

"Simple."

“I followed you all the way here and discovered that the Plague-Suppressing Banner above your head has the ability to absorb calamity. I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, can help us remove the curse on us.”

"This is both a talisman and a shackle for our tiger clan. It allows our tiger clan to cultivate to this point without any bottlenecks, but at the same time, it prevents us from taking human form in this lifetime."

"Be a foolish tiger."

"Moreover, as time goes by, our intelligence will gradually deteriorate until we become a king of beasts who only knows how to kill."

"Before you, we also made promises to countless cultivators who practiced the Great Dao of Calamity, but they only wanted rare and precious materials and did not ask for anything from us."

Not enthusiastic.

"The ghost of sorrow you just received from the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls was a cultivator who practiced the Great Dao of Calamity. He was not skilled enough and was eaten by me, turning into a ghost of sorrow."

It still cannot wash away the curse upon us.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yue gradually fell into deep thought.

According to his understanding, this world was formed after the death of a Great Dao Realm cultivator who cultivated the Great Dao of Calamity. The curse power within it...

It's impossible to absorb things arbitrarily.

It might attract the attention of the Great Dao Will of this world, and then be suppressed. As for the beings of this world, they have not yet taken human form, in his view.

It is both a curse and a protection.

of course.

This also locks in their potential.

In the current chaos, all paths are vying for supremacy. The cultivators of the Great Dao Realm have taken the initiative to set up the arena in order to determine the next generation of Great Dao Realm cultivators. Naturally, there will be countless helpers among them.

"good!"

ponder for a moment.

Lü Yue decided to agree, partly out of kindness, and partly because he didn't know if there were any other dangers in the mountain stream, especially as they went deeper.

He felt a vague unease.

He had only just stepped into the mountain stream and canyon, and hadn't gone far, when he encountered the Tiger King of the Ghost Flame Tiger clan. Did that mean there were other races in that depth?

Jiaolong (蛟龙).

Phoenix.

He dared not think any further.

"However, my strength is ultimately inferior to yours, and I'm afraid I won't be able to remove the curse from your body for a while. It will take a long time."

During this time, I hope the Ghost Flame Tiger clan can find some rare and precious materials to repair my pagoda.

"can."

Then, Lü Yue tossed the somewhat damaged pagoda into the air, stood in the mountain stream, and reminded, "After you find all the rare and precious materials, you can throw them all into the pagoda."

The pagoda possesses a spirit; it can operate on its own to restore its original state.

"good!"

Tiger King was also a straightforward Ghost Flame Tiger. He let out a tiger's roar, and the Ghost Flame Tigers hidden in the shadows emerged one by one from the mountain stream, each with a dark shadow at their feet.

It gleamed with a cold, eerie light.

"Go."

Instantly, all the Ghost Flame Tigers scattered in all directions, leaving only the Tiger King behind. The Tiger King, mimicking the Tiger King's posture, sat cross-legged with a pained expression and explained, "Fellow Daoist, my time is running out."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yue was immediately curious. For a Tiger King at the Dao Integration Realm to say that he didn't have much time left, there must be some other secret.

"Our Ghost Flame Tiger clan was originally the overlord of this world, but unfortunately, starting with the first Tiger King, they gradually lose their intelligence after entering the Dao Integration Realm."

Upon encountering living beings, they descended into a frenzied slaughter.
