Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Chapter 230: More terrible than death?

A thick fog continued to roll and gradually dispersed.

This is a secret location, deserted and uninhabited, and it is heavily covered up with sleight of hand.

The bull-headed body suddenly stumbled out from the thick fog, staggered a few steps and then collapsed to the ground, his face pale as a ghost.

Although he had taken out the command flag and passed it on at the most critical moment, he was still hit by the joint attack of the white dragon and the mountain shadow. If he had been a step later, the two would have been able to kill him on the spot with their full strength.

She was extremely grateful for her habit of being more careful in her actions and had set up a formation eye outside Baidi City early on.

Just as Han Yu guessed, the command flag was indeed infused with magical power, and it was the Five Ghosts Moving Magical Power, but it was different from the usual usage.

If used normally, the Five Ghosts Moving Method can only move and jump to any position within a mile. If you want to cross a long distance, you need to use your magical powers continuously.

After the refined command flags are infused with magical powers, one only needs to set up the eye of the formation at a location, and then they can be quickly transported there through the magical powers prepared in advance, and the farthest range can reach ten miles.

The only drawback is that it is not as flexible as usual and can only be used at fixed points.

Fortunately, the advantage is that the distance is far enough, and it is faster to use, and it can even achieve two-way transmission at a fixed location, which can not only transmit there, but also transmit people or objects in the eye of the array over.

Niu Tou leaned against the ground and gasped for a while. After forcing out a mouthful of blood, his breathing became smoother. The impact just now was too strong. His entire lungs were burning with pain. He must have been seriously injured, and his whole body was shaking as if he had a chill.

After resting for a while, she gradually propped herself up and stood up. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a red pill, put it into her mouth and swallowed it. Only after the pill entered her stomach did she gradually feel warmer.

Soon she took out a little bit of seeds from her bosom and scattered them outside. After making a hand gesture, a spiritual rain irrigated the seeds. The seeds took root and sprouted, and a small cluster of thorns grew out. The thorns began to surround the seeds to form a cage, like a guard.

After Niutou finished doing all this, he sat down cross-legged with peace of mind and began to sort out his chaotic spiritual power, while also letting the medicinal effects penetrate into his lungs to repair his damaged internal organs.

Time passed by little by little. After two hours, she slowly exhaled and stood up easily. Before she could be happy, her pretty face sank. The thorn barrier she set up was triggered by someone.

In the overgrown pile of rocks, there was an inconspicuous cluster of thorns. Next to the thorns was a huge rock, about one zhang wide and more than three zhang high, like a small hill. Outside it stood a monk.

Faced with the brambles that were twisting like crazy, the monk did not panic. Instead, he took a few steps back and waited quietly.

Not long after, a ripple continued to spread on the huge rock, and then gradually revealed its true appearance. It turned out that the inside was hollowed out, and a cow-headed and pretty face with frosty face walked out. She just thought that Han Yu and others were chasing after her, but she didn't expect that the person who came out was actually a peeping monk.

"Master Bullhead!"

When the monk saw Niutou coming out, he bowed quickly.

"What's the matter with me?"

After finding out that it was not an external enemy, Niu Tou breathed a sigh of relief, but the monk's next words made him frown again.

"The Lord invites you!"

Lord?

There is only one person who can shamelessly allow others to call him that, and that person is exactly the one I don't want to see.

"The Lord said that you had better be more obedient."

The monk spoke with great fear and trepidation. It was obvious that he did not dare to disobey his superiors and convey the instructions truthfully, and he was also very afraid of the Bull Head.

"lead the way."

Niutou took a deep breath and spoke to the monk.

Only twenty miles away, two figures, one in front and one behind, landed outside a house.

That’s right, in a deserted place, a house rose from the ground, built so abruptly here, and judging from the style, it was just recently built, and you could even smell the fragrance of bamboo.

In this emerald green house built entirely of bamboo poles, there were several monks standing guard, and the main hall inside was wide open, waiting for Niutou to enter.

Honestly speaking, she really didn't want to face the guy inside. He was cold, mean, and most of the time hypocritical. Under the hands of such a guy, she might die unclearly for his achievements at any time.

But in name this guy can still control them. If not, she would not have thought of working with Qi Bai and Li Qingbai to make contributions first and try to undermine him. Unfortunately, she failed in the end.

She walked in slowly and silently. A mocking face in front of the hall slowly raised its head. It was the middle-aged man who had dealt with Han Yu before.

He half-leaned lazily on an armchair, looking at Niutou with a half-smile, and after a moment he spoke with a smile.

"If I hadn't known that there was a wave of the formation's eye nearby, I really wouldn't have known that you came here without telling me."

Since he was the leader, Niu Tou should have gone to him first to wait for orders, but he acted alone without saying a word. Everyone knew what he was planning.

"Judge! I received an order from Lord Yama. He asked us to get the Dragon Blood Stone instead of asking us to come to you."

Niutou raised his head and looked at him, then spoke without fear.

us?

The judge keenly heard the key point in the words and said in a deep voice, "Besides you, who else is here?"

Niu Tou realized that he had spoken out of turn, but there seemed no need to hide it now, so he spoke in a muffled voice, "Horse-faced Man and Li Qingquan, but they have been captured by Han Yu."

"Li Qingquan? You have already got one of the dragon blood stones. Give it to me."

The judge didn't care about the life or death of Qi Bai and Li Qingquan. The Holy Church was not short of people. If someone was gone, someone else would take the position sooner or later. Besides, let the two disobedient subordinates die!

Instead of worrying about this, you might as well care about what the King of Hell has told you to do.

I didn't expect that these three guys had taken a piece without saying anything. They really had bad intentions. Thinking of this, the judge sneered in his heart.

Niutou also glanced at the other party with a sneer. This was the reason why they did not obey him. This bastard only knew how to exploit them. He would even suppress them in order to win credit and would not care about their life or death in order to achieve his goals.

"No!"

It is impossible to hand over the stone. If I take it and hand it in, I can get some credit. Even if I can't overthrow the other party, at least he won't dare to check me in the future.

Only a fool would give.

Sure enough, after hearing the other party's answer, the judge's face instantly turned gloomy, and the entire hall suddenly became extremely depressing.

"If you want to do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to Lord Yama later."

Niu Tou spoke fearlessly. Even if the other party wanted to kill people and steal things, they couldn't do it cleanly. Even if they killed everyone present, they had to worry about whether the Holy Church had the means to find out.

Only those who are members of the Holy Religion can know how terrible it is.

The judge glared at the man fiercely with his eyes wide open, but he didn't dare to really take action. He thought he could scare the other party, but the other party didn't fall for it.

If he wanted to kill the other party, he really didn't dare to do so. Niu Tou was only slightly lower in level than himself. If he really died in his hands, he would not be able to escape punishment once he was exposed. Besides, he might not be able to kill him.

"Then according to the rules, I am your superior, and you need to assist me."

Since the hard approach doesn't work, the only option is to use the soft approach. The judge changed his expression and no longer had that cold face.

"Are you going to deal with Han Yu too?"

Niutou looked at the other party with some surprise.

A trace of anger flashed across the judge's face. It was more than just a matter of dealing with him. It should be said that he had dealt with him a long time ago. It was a pity that he was fooled by the other party.

Damn it, I used some trickery to get the Dragon Blood Stone back. After I got it back, I checked it for a while. Just when I used my spiritual power to probe it, the whole stone exploded instantly. At first I thought it was my own problem, but then I picked up the pile of powder and took a closer look.

Bastard, it was actually a fake made with spirit stones.

But he didn't know which wicked guy had such good craftsmanship. When he first held it in his hand, it didn't feel fake at all.

But he did not show it in front of Niu Tou. Since nothing had been accomplished, he would just pretend that it had never happened!

"As long as you help me, I won't take yours. There are four on the list. Let's work together to get them. In the future in Huangquan Mansion, I won't cause you any trouble, and you don't need to listen to my orders."

The judge made a generous promise.

Niu Tou was silent for a moment. Now Qi Bai was in prison, and he was alone without any help. It would be extremely difficult for him to form a new team.

Even if someone else fills the vacancy of Horse-Faced God later, the judge will only find a way to arrange his own people from the King of Hell to go in.

"How can I trust you?"

Niutou was a little hesitant. Given this guy's character, he really couldn't trust him.

The judge spoke solemnly, "I can swear in the name of the Holy Church. If I break it, my soul will be shattered."

After hearing this, Niutou let down his guard. Even if the other party swore on their 18 generations of ancestors or their own lives, he would definitely not believe it. But if they swore on the Holy Religion, it would be credible. None of them dared to tarnish the Holy Religion.

"I can join forces with you, but given the opponent's strength, you need to make careful arrangements."

Niu Tou finally agreed, but she was still afraid of Han Yu's strength...
-
When Qi Bai woke up slowly, the sky was already covered with night.

The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was the people watching from all sides. In the outer courtyard of the government office, Han Yu, Ye Hei, and Ling Wuce were all there, and there were dozens of figures standing guard nearby. They were the cultivators from Wushuang Tower and the government guards.

On the side, Huangfu Liang was still punching and kicking Li Qingquan. This guy originally thought that he could get his stone back after catching Li Qingquan, but it turned out that the stone was not on the other party.

Then they searched the unconscious Qi Bai, but found nothing.

After turning around for a long time, his stone was still gone, so he immediately took revenge.

At the beginning, Ling Wu Ce would try to stop him. After all, he needed a living person to explore the bottom line of the corpse refining lineage. This force hiding behind the scenes has always been like a fog, and it can only be uncovered bit by bit.

But in the end, the only thing Li Qingquan knew clearly was the things about Huangquan Mansion, and most of the things had already been found out by the Supervisory Department from Bai Bushen.

The only useful information is that the Black and White Impermanence are the bottom existences in Huangquan Palace, one is the main and the other is the deputy. The White Impermanence is the main one, and above him are the Ox-Head and Horse-Face. The two are dominated by the Horse-Face, and above them is the Judge.

Other than that, there is no more useful news.

Since it was useless, I just handed it over to Huangfu Liang to vent his anger.

Then came Qi Bai. This guy was considered a big fish in Ling Wuce's eyes. Especially according to Li Qingquan's structural division, Qi Bai should have more information. Otherwise, Qi Bai would not have had the chance to survive until now.

Even though he was awake now, he was still unable to move. His body was covered with cracks and bleeding, and his tattered clothes were all bloody.

Qi Bai looked inside his body and his face turned pale. All his internal organs were covered with scars, and the spiritual energy at the sacred spring was running wildly like a raging sea.

If it weren't for the power of merit that always wrapped around my heart, I would probably have died.

He glanced at Han Yu with a complicated expression. It was this guy who almost beat him to death, but in the end it was also this guy's elixir that saved his life.

Cause and effect are everywhere in life!
At this time Ling Wuce took a step forward, looked down at Qi Bai, and sorted out his thoughts before speaking.

"You should know what we want to know as a captive?"

Qi Bai smiled sadly and did not answer.

Ling Wu Ce frowned, his old face wrinkled into a ball, and his tone became a little more fierce.

"Tell me, what exactly is the Corpse Refining Sect, what is your purpose, and the structure of your organization, where are you hiding..."

A lot of questions kept coming out of his mouth. Wu Lou was eager to know everything about the corpse refining lineage. This organization was too mysterious, so mysterious that it made people uneasy.

Even the fifth floor dare not underestimate the power behind the scenes.

Qi Bai remained silent and turned his head to the side, staring blankly.

"Aren't you afraid of death? I can kill you at any time."

The other party's appearance made Ling Wu Ce very angry, and he immediately shouted.

Qi Bai then turned around and smiled miserably, "Of course I am afraid of death, but if I betray you, it will be more terrible than death."

If he was not afraid of death, he would not have taken Han Yu's medicine in the first place. However, in the Holy Church, there are too many things more terrifying than death.

"You can kill me, chop me up, or torture me as you wish."

In my current state, I am not sure I can withstand several waves of torture. It would be better to die so I can suffer less.

"you……"

Ling Wu Ce was furious. It was impossible for him to kill him before he could get anything out of him. But now, there was really no way he could do anything to him.

"actually……"

Han Yu, who had been silent the whole time, came out, glanced at Qi Bai with a strange expression, sighed and said, "I'll let you experience something more terrifying than death. I have it too!"

After finishing speaking, Han Yu turned around and told the palace guards, "Bring a basin of water."

Then he walked up to Qi Bai, squatted down, pinched his chin to make him open his mouth, took out a pill out of thin air with one hand and threw it directly in.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Qi Bai's face was filled with shock, and he looked up blankly.

Han Yu smiled and stood up without saying anything, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

In just a few breaths, the disordered spiritual power flowing in Qi Bai's body suddenly began to change. This change was imperceptible to outsiders, only he could feel it.

The spiritual power that was originally cultivated from his gold-attributed spiritual roots suddenly changed. This change was thorough. The spiritual power that was still running around gave him a strange feeling.

He is not stupid, it is the attributes of his spiritual roots that have changed.

"You ruined my practice."

Qi Bai laughed miserably. The attributes of his spiritual roots had been changed, and his spiritual power had also changed. As a result, the skills he had been practicing were useless. Even if he had still reached the Transcendent Realm, the strength he could exert with the incompatible skills would be at least halved.

"Where are we now?"

Han Yu smiled strangely. How could this be considered as ruining one's cultivation? It could still be saved as long as one changed the technique. The side effects had not yet appeared!
At this time, the palace guards had come back with a wooden basin of water. Han Yu pointed at Qi Bai and gave an order, "Pour it on."

The palace guard did not suspect anything and poured the entire basin of water down upon hearing what he said. Qi Bai was instantly soaked completely. He looked at Han Yu stupidly.

"Is this your torture?"

It's too much of a joke, that's all.

All kinds of thoughts kept running through his mind, but suddenly a scream was heard.

"He...Did he melt..."

After dealing with Li Qingquan, Huangfu Liang, who came over to watch the fun, widened his eyes and pointed at Qi Bai stupidly.

He was definitely not mistaken. After the water was splashed onto Qi Bai, it seemed that Qi Bai shrank a little as the water dripped down.

In fact, he was not wrong. Not only him, but Ye Hei and Ling Wuce also noticed it. Especially after the rain fell on his head, Qi Bai's whole face became thinner.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Qi Bai obviously noticed his own abnormality. When he asked the question again, he was no longer as calm as before and looked panicked.

Mud Bull Pill: After taking the pill, the patient's aptitude will be reversed, his spiritual roots will be reshaped, and his spiritual roots will be transformed into top-grade earth spiritual roots. Side effects: Mud Bull enters the sea and dissolves when it encounters water.

When Han Yu slowly explained the effects of the elixir, everyone looked at him with extremely strange eyes.

This is actually a poison pill, and the side effect is that it changes the spiritual roots of the person who takes the pill, right?

Such terrible side effects send chills down my spine just thinking about it.

Is it scary? Not really. Under normal circumstances, you just need to protect yourself.

It’s only now that it’s used here that it seems so sinister.

Han Yu looked at Qi Bai and spoke slowly, "I know you can definitely endure the physical torture, and my pills won't make you feel pain."

"But, do you want to try to watch yourself slowly disappear into the world, starting from your feet and moving upwards little by little..."

Everyone who heard it felt their hair stand on end and got goose bumps. It wasn't even winter yet, but Huangfu Liang and Ye Hei both exhaled a breath of cold air.

This kind of psychological horror is really scary.

Qi Bai's face changed again and again. Just imagining that scene was unbearable, let alone watching himself slowly disappear with his own eyes.

"you win!"

The light in his eyes had completely gone, and he spoke dully.

"Promise me that you will kill me afterwards."
