Upon hearing the words ”Netherworld Secret Guard,” Xu Yingying hurriedly stepped back and waved her jade-like hand: ”Hold on, hold on.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Xu Yingying quickly asked, ”It’s something from the Netherworld Secret Guards, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”Their personal belongings.”

”What kind of thing?”

”A string of beads.”

Xu Yingying quickly waved her little hand: ”Take it away, take it away, don’t open it, don’t show me, I don’t want to see that creepy thing!”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Just a personal belonging of the Netherworld Secret Guard, is it that frightening?”

”You didn’t get involved with it, did you?”

”Thanks to it, I killed eight Netherworld Secret Guards,” Chu Zhiyuan said blandly.

”Oh...” Xu Yingying shook her head and said, ”You’re going to have bad luck!”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow: ”Are you actually afraid of the Netherworld Secret Guards?”

”The Netherworld Secret Guard are death soldiers raised by the Da Lie Imperial Family, but there’s a problem with their origins.” Xu Yingying sighed softly: ”You can’t get involved with them.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”I’ve already gotten involved, are they relentless?”

”The Netherworld Secret Guards are said to be death soldiers of the Da Lie Emperor, but even the Da Lie Emperor can’t fully control them,” Xu Yingying said. ”They’re very powerful, they won’t care if you’re a princely heir, they’ll pursue you.”

Chu Zhiyuan tilted his head to look at her and glanced around: ”Why don’t I see Mr. Xu?”

”Master has some matters and isn’t here,” Xu Yingying said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”With Mr. Xu not here, it’s just the two of us?”

Xu Yingying snorted: ”With master not here, what mischievous thing do you want to do?”

Her bright eyes were full of laughter, not afraid of Chu Zhiyuan doing anything rash.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Will this group of Netherworld Secret Guards keep pestering us?”

”They definitely will,” Xu Yingying nodded. ”These guys are really bothersome, they’ll keep pursuing you, and they’re very tricky, hard to defend against.”

”Is there no way to deal with them?” Chu Zhiyuan said. ”Even your Jiuli Divine Sect can’t handle these Netherworld Secret Guards?”

Xu Yingying smiled proudly: ”Though the Netherworld Secret Guards are powerful, they wouldn’t dare to provoke me.”

”Why wouldn’t they dare?” Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

He smiled inwardly.

Xu Yingying indeed lives up to being a treasure trove, always able to surprise him.

It seems this time will be another surprise.

Xu Yingying snorted, turning her back to him: ”Don’t peek.”

Chu Zhiyuan turned away with a smile: ”I won’t look.”

He even withdrew his Super Sense.

A moment later, Xu Yingying said: ”You can turn around now.”

Chu Zhiyuan turned around.

Xu Yingying spread open her right palm.

On her jade-white little hand, a verdant green pearl was glowing with a lustrous light.

Chu Zhiyuan found it very familiar.

He then took out a Water Repelling Pearl from his sleeve.

The verdant green pearl, gleaming with a luster, was similar to the one in her hand.

”Why did you take out a Water Repelling Pearl,” Xu Yingying laughed. ”This is an Evil Repelling Pearl.”

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood, smiling as he put away the Water Repelling Pearl: ”I thought it was another Water Repelling Pearl, but if it could restrain them, it would be the best.”

”The Water Repelling Pearl isn’t very useful, but this Evil Repelling Pearl is.”

”Can it kill the Netherworld Secret Guards?”

”...You really dare to think,” Xu Yingying hesitated, rolling her eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Then what wonderful use does it have?”

”As soon as those ghostly Netherworld Secret Guards get within a hundred paces, this pearl can sense them and emit light to warn,” Xu Yingying said.

”For warning purposes,” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

”There’s more,” Xu Yingying snorted. ”It can also restrain their power.”

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Xu Yingying explained: ”Those ghostly Netherworld Secret Guards, unless you’re a Great Grandmaster, you can’t even touch them. A strike hits nothing, like hitting a ghost; only a Great Grandmaster can touch them.”

”I see...” Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

His Flying Knives contained spiritual power, which was why they could hit the Netherworld Secret Guards.

If it weren’t for the spiritual power, the Flying Knives wouldn’t have hurt them; could their power make them immune to physical damage?

If that’s the case, they’re indeed hard to deal with, meaning they are invincible below the Great Grandmaster level.

Xu Yingying said: ”Did you use the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill to kill them?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Sword Control Technique and Glazed Blade Scripture, intermixed with...”

”Humph, it’s the Heart Inquiry Saber Skill,” Xu Yingying rolled her eyes at him. ”But you were clever to detect them, ...you can borrow this pearl for a while, but you have to return it.”

”Is that all?”

”Everyone only has one,” Xu Yingying snorted. ”This is an Evil Repelling Pearl!”

”Meng Canglan has one too, right?” Chu Zhiyuan said.

”Sister Meng? Hers isn’t an Evil Repelling Pearl, it’s an Extreme Control Pearl,” Xu Yingying laughed. ”That’s much more powerful than an Evil Repelling Pearl.”

Before Chu Zhiyuan could ask, Xu Yingying said: ”The Extreme Control Pearl can defend against all strange powers; those from the Evil Sect and ghostly things can’t harm Sister Meng.”

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in amazement.

Xu Yingying displayed a look of envy: ”Sister Meng is the Holy Daughter of the Wuyou Sect, that’s the status of a Holy Daughter.”

”Does a Holy Daughter have such status?” Chu Zhiyuan laughed. ”What about Ruoling...?”

”Sister Xiao? She inherited the Taiyin Great Refining Form, so she can resist these ghostly things as well,” Xu Yingying said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He didn’t expect the Taiyin Great Refining Form to have such a wonderful use.

”...What about you?”

”I only have this Evil Repelling Pearl to sense these ghostly things in advance and stay far away,” Xu Yingying said.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Xu Yingying stomped her foot and snorted: ”Who told me I’m not a Holy Daughter.”

”Who told your Jiuli Divine Sect not to have a Holy Daughter,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed. ”If you did, Yingying, you really could become a Holy Daughter.”

”That’s for sure!” Xu Yingying showed a proud expression. ”It’s a pity only the Wuyou Sect and Yao Yue Palace have Holy Daughters. We and the Yongling Divine Sect don’t have any. The Yongling Divine Sect has a Divine Son; we don’t even have a Divine Son.”

She shook her head in disappointment.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”It’s truly a pity, born in the wrong sect... The Evil Repelling Pearl, forget it, keep it for your protection.”

Xu Yingying was so generous that he felt embarrassed.

Besides, he had the protection of the Four Great Grandmasters in secret.

”You really don’t want it?” Xu Yingying asked.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xu Yingying thought for a moment and then turned to leave: ”I’ll be back soon.”

She lightly leapt over the wall.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

What good thing would Xu Yingying, this treasure trove, bring out this time?

A moment later, Xu Yingying returned with a small box in her hand, directly handing it to Chu Zhiyuan: ”Here, take this, the Evil-breaking Divine Blade.”

Chu Zhiyuan curiously opened the palm-sized box to find five Flying Knives lined up in a row, about the length of a pinky finger, smaller than ordinary Flying Knives.

Xu Yingying said: ”Whether it’s powerful or not, you’ll have to test it yourself. I only know it’s called the Evil-breaking Divine Blade; I’ve never used it.”

Chu Zhiyuan carefully put it away: ”Then I won’t be polite... Are you sure you don’t want the Netherworld Secret Guard’s beads?”

”No, no, take them away,” Xu Yingying waved her hand repeatedly.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”This Evil-breaking Divine Blade is indeed extraordinary, I’m off.”

With his Insight, he noticed the peculiarity of the five Flying Knives, surrounded by a mist, impossible to penetrate.

The more it was like this, the more eager he was to start refining them.

Once the refining succeeds, the mist will be fully unveiled, revealing the truth.

This is by no means an ordinary Flying Knife; what kind of power does the Evil-breaking Divine Blade possess?
