Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Slay the giant ghost!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaoyin and the Exorcist tribe member both changed their expressions.

Is such a colossal creature really possible for humans to kill?

To be honest, even Chu Xiu was unsure.

He had analyzed it before, and neither a direct assault nor attrition were viable strategies.

The only chance for victory was like the past battle against the Celestial Dragon, relying on the self-destruction of the Ghostly Legion.

But this creature is even larger and has a continuous supply of Yin Qi, making it even harder to deal with than the Celestial Dragon.

Moreover, back then, the Celestial Dragon was manipulated, and Chu Xiu only had to break through its defense and kill the deity to resolve the crisis. But now, they must genuinely kill this gigantic creature!

So the conditions are much harsher than before; even if all ghosts self-destruct, it would only create an opportunity for Chu Xiu, an opportunity to enter the giant ghost to find its weakness.

In response to his question, that tribe member hesitantly said after some hesitation, ”It’s not necessary to confront it head-on, we just need to find a way to send information inside and have the people inside come out voluntarily.”

”We just need to prepare artifacts to dispel the Yin Qi. Our place has scarce cultivation resources, and most clan members have no cultivation, so they might freeze to death from the Yin Qi the moment they come out.”

”That’s why I said it’s necessary to slay that ghost,” Chu Xiu sighed lightly.

Where could he possibly find an artifact that can protect thirty thousand people? In the Yin Qi-saturated Inner Layer Area, even with Jiang Miaoyin’s protective artifact, the two would still feel cold, requiring the King Tier Constitution to withstand it, and occasionally need to release Demonic Qi to isolate Yin Qi and rest.

Ordinary people coming out would quickly die even under dual protection.

Moreover, once they get close, they would be discovered by the giant ghost, let alone openly dispel the Yin Qi? In that event, a direct confrontation is inevitable.

”Senior, so...”

”So this is something that cannot be accomplished by us now, even if we unite with the other two Heroic Spirits, I see little hope for success,” Chu Xiu answered truthfully.

His answer left Jiang Miaoyin silent for a moment, then she sighed silently after a while.

The Exorcist tribe member’s expression became gloomy as well.

After a long while, he clenched his teeth and gestured, ”Thank you both benefactors for your rescue, I am deeply grateful, but I cannot forsake my compatriots for my own sake, so I have decided to attempt to return to the sanctuary, at least to deliver the message from the Outer World.”

Jiang Miaoyin said, ”But how will you return?”

The man said, ”I was born inside that giant ghost, carrying its aura, it will lower its guard against me. I plan to wait near this Twilight Realm and glide onto its body from above when it approaches, returning the same way.”

Jiang Miaoyin worriedly said, ”But without our artifacts to protect you, how will you withstand the invasion of Yin Qi?”

The man resolutely stated, ”Even if it’s a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I have no regrets.”

”But this is too risky, why not stay outside for a while longer and think of other solutions,” Jiang Miaoyin advised.

”No,” the man shook his head, ”The aura from the ghost within me will weaken over time, plus I fear that once accustomed to the freedom of the Outer World, I will never summon the courage to return.”

”This...” Jiang Miaoyin seemed moved by his firm conviction, her expression became complex for a moment.

After a while, she bit her lip, seemingly making a decision, intending to take something out from her Storage Space.

But at that moment, Chu Xiu gently pressed down on her wrist.

Jiang Miaoyin was taken aback and looked up, only to see Chu Xiu’s cold face.

”What are you two whispering about?”

”Did I say you could leave?”

”Huh?” With these words, both Jiang Miaoyin and the tribe member were stunned.

Chu Xiu was blunt, ”Do you think I saved you out of kindness? You are now my property, your life is no longer yours to command.”

With that, he reached out and the man was bound by surging Demonic Qi, merging into a ghost.

”Senior...”

Jiang Miaoyin just opened her mouth, but was stopped by Chu Xiu raising his hand, ”Did you forget? It is the best bargaining chip we have with the Domain ghost, there’s no way I’m giving it up.”

”I really didn’t expect that a young genius of the Jiang Family would still have so much sympathy. If you were thirteen, it would be understandable, but to be like this at thirty, has your family protected you so well, or have others always yielded to you, making you think the Abyss is just a cooperative playground?”

”Also, do you really think that by giving your artifact, they will appreciate it? Don’t forget, we are the culprits behind the destruction of their home, this kind of enmity doesn’t vanish with an artifact, does it?”

”Can you guarantee that the tribe member who escaped isn’t manipulating your sympathy? Why do you think you can see through the disguise of an old fox?”

Faced with Chu Xiu’s reproach, Jiang Miaoyin bit her lip silently, unable to speak.

After a long while, she quietly nodded and said, ”I understand.”

Her expression returned to calmness, ”So what we should do now is to take this ’bargaining chip’ to negotiate with the Domain ghost.”

”If it still has a price to haggle over,” Chu Xiu sighed lightly.

Jiang Miaoyin didn’t say much else, she simply made a hand sign to summon the Curse Spirit Carriage, and Chu Xiu seated himself, setting off in the direction they came from.

As they had already cleared the path once before, even though many places had collapsed since, it was still much faster than on the way in.
