Hell Emperor

Chapter 61 Xia Wei-Determination
After receiving Ye Jie's promise, Xia Wei no longer had any worries. She smiled calmly and said her plan: "I heard from the soldiers that all this is the order of the general who patrols the river. The general who patrols the river is leading his troops south and will be here soon." When I get to Qingshi Town, I'm going to intercept the soldiers, create chaos, and prevent them from getting any closer."

Hearing this, Ye Jie just shook his head: "Those soldiers were just following orders, why bother with them? Let me tell you, if you really want to prevent the tragedy from happening again, you can only attack those generals."

Xia Wei's eyes lit up, and her master's words suddenly made her realize: "Master, what you mean is that Xiao Wei should challenge the general who patrols the river?"

"It's not a challenge, it's an assassination. Only when a general comes and you kill a general can the remaining generals be in danger, find room for mediation, and at the same time keep casualties to a minimum."

Ye Jie's tone was calm, and his eyes were somewhat calm. He changed the subject, shook his head and sighed:

"It's just that it's not easy to do that. As an important minister of the dynasty, General Xunhe not only has the strength of the mid-fourth level, but also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding him. He is not a low-level character like the Hengshan Bandit. With your current strength, other than It is said that the general who patrolled the river was killed, but the tens of thousands of elite soldiers alone were enough to become an insurmountable barrier between you and the general who patrolled the river."

Xia Wei looked a little sad: "In this case... what should Xiao Wei do?"

Seeing that she was depressed, Ye Jie encouraged her and said:

"In the final analysis, your strength is still not enough. If you are at the fourth or fifth level, why would you still worry about these things? What you have to do is to intensify your practice and improve your strength as soon as possible, so that you can have a fight with the general who patrols the river. It happens that General Patrolling the River is heading south and will come to Qingshi Town soon. What you have to do is to take advantage of this period to accumulate strength."

Xia Wei nodded, agreed with Ye Jie's statement, and then listened to him:

"Among the techniques you currently master, the most powerful one, the Wild Wave Sea Splitting Sword, is the move of General Patrolling the River. If you use it to deal with the original owner of the move, I'm afraid it will be full of flaws. Without the benefit of the technique, the current You are not qualified to fight against General Xunhe at all, so you should improve your level as soon as possible. I will help you find a solution regarding the technique."

"Master..." Xia Wei called Ye Jie softly, with deep gratitude and attachment in her eyes.

Ye Jie patted her little head: "There are many rare treasures in the underworld. In addition to various exercises, there are also rare treasures of heaven, materials and earth, but they all require a lot of yin to exchange. It just so happens that I I have just obtained a lot of Yin De, which can buy you enough cultivation resources to help you break through the realm as soon as possible and reach the second level peak level."

Xia Wei couldn't help but smile: "Master, you said it wrong."

"What's wrong?" Ye Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully sensed the aura on Xia Wei's body, and then discovered the problem, "Wait... why are you already at the second level of peak? When did you break through?"

Recalling what happened not long ago, Xia Wei felt a little angry again:

"During the battle with the soldiers of Qingshi Town, I just felt that my blood was boiling. The fighting instinct overwhelmed my thinking. Every move and style taught by my master was completely integrated into my bone marrow. I couldn't notice it on weekdays. The minor flaws I encountered were quietly filled in. After the battle, not only did I break through to the second level peak, but my ability to use the technique also improved significantly."

Hearing this, Ye Jie opened his mouth in surprise: "I have heard that there are very few geniuses in the world who can use a flash of enlightenment to complete the transformation of their skills and even their realms. But I didn't expect that you can actually fight in the battle." To accomplish all this, your talent is astonishing and terrifying. If word spreads about it, I don’t know how many practitioners will be envious of it."

Xia Wei was greatly benefited from Ye Jie's praise. She stood on tiptoes, with an indescribable warmth in her eyes.

Ye Jie reached into his arms and took out the remaining pages: "Let us take a look at the progress of your current skills..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jie, who took out the scrap of page, was completely stunned when he saw that on the plain and worn page, several rows of words were written in golden ink:

[Announcement from Guangwang Palace: Gui Cha Jie won the title of the best ghost chai in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and earned a total of 1.34 million Yin De throughout the year. All the ghost chaplains in the Guangwang Palace pay their highest respects to Gu Cha Jie! 】

[Gui Chajie has been summoned by the Lord of the Guangwang Palace. Please return to the Guangwang Palace within a week to meet with the Lord of the Guangwang Palace! 】

"Wait..." After repeatedly confirming that he had read correctly, Ye Jie was dumbfounded. "Am I the best ghost this year?"

Recalling the rewards he received for escorting the gang of Hengshan thieves, and the vast amount of virtue he received for sending Aunt Meng to reincarnate, Ye Jie thought thoughtfully. It seemed that he had achieved some extraordinary achievement invisibly.

Beside Ye Jie, Xia Wei blinked: "Is that a good thing?"

"Of course, that's a great thing. It means that I can get a copy of the Heaven-level Cultivation Techniques from the Master of Guangwang Palace as a reward! It's not a broken move like the Wild Waves Splitting Sea Sword, but a complete Heaven-level Cultivation Technique. . With this technique, your chance of winning against the general who patrols the river will increase by 10%." Ye Jie said in surprise.

Thinking of the meaning of Tianjie Kung Fu, Xia Wei smiled and hugged Ye Jie's arm, unwilling to let go.

After calming down, Ye Jie did not forget his previous plan and put the broken page in Xia Wei's palm. Soon, a series of new ink marks appeared on the broken page:

[Book of Life and Death File:] [Name: Xia Wei]

[Stage: Peak of the second-level body building realm]

[Kung Fu learned: Soul-Breaking Arrow (Dacheng), Soul-binding Rope (Dacheng), Elephant Turtle Hand (Xiaocheng), Bailianshen (Xiaocheng), Xuanying Step (Xiaocheng), Cloud Covering Eyes (Proficient) , Heart-Destroying Demonic Palm (Mastery), Xuan Ying Dao Wu (remaining move), Wild Waves Splitting Sea Sword (remaining move)]

Looking at Xia Wei's file, Ye Jie secretly smacked his tongue and said with emotion: "You are indeed the reincarnation of an immortal. Only in hard battles can you show all the potential contained in your body. If you continue with this momentum, you can kill the general who patrols the river." It’s not a luxury.”

Just as he was talking, Ye Jie suddenly caught a glimpse of the blood stains on Xia Wei's pretty face, shook his head and said with a smile: "You'd better wash your face first to clean off the blood stains, and then let's talk about dealing with the general who patrols the river."

Xia Wei groaned. She didn't want to look dirty in front of her master, so she hurriedly leaned down and scooped water from the river to wipe her face.

"Strange..." Seeing that the water in the river was as level as a mirror, Ye Jie let go of his senses and couldn't help but frowned, "Logically speaking, even at night, the Jinghe River, where aquatic monsters are entrenched, cannot be so quiet. Like If you wash the blood into the Jing River like this, it will attract hordes of monsters within a short while, but why are there not a single monster there now?"

Xia Wei shook her head, with a bit of confusion in her eyes: "Master is right in reminding me. Logically speaking, I have entered the crayfish's range a long time ago, but after so long, I haven't even seen the shadow of a monster. Come on, where did they go?"

Ye Jie was puzzled, and after thinking to no avail, he simply gave up and changed the topic:
"Let's talk about something else. You have just washed the blood on your hair. Your hair is wet and you feel very uncomfortable. You might as well try the spiritual power movement method of the immortal way. Transform the spiritual power in your body into the fire attribute. At the same time, focus on On the hair, use fire-attribute spiritual power to increase the heat of the hair and make it dry quickly.”

"Can we still do this?" Xia Wei was surprised, and then sat down with excitement. According to Ye Jie's words, the spiritual power circulated around the sky, and bursts of water vapor rose from the wet hair. The water evaporated, and the hair became very thin. It will soon be completely dry.

When the wind blew, the hair on the back of Xia Wei's head spread out. She raised her eyes lightly, wrapped her fingers around the corner of her clothes, and said expectantly: "Master, please help me tie my hair."

"What..." Ye Jie was stunned, but couldn't resist her, so he had to come behind her, "Then I'll help you put your hair into a high bun."

Xia Wei puffed up her mouth and insisted: "Xiaowei doesn't want a bun, Xiaowei wants two braids!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Ye Jie smiled and agreed to her request.

Ye Jie stretched out his hand and divided the hair on the left back of Xia Wei's head into three strands. He fiddled with the warm hair with his fingertips and carefully felt the delicate touch. After a while, he had braided a braid and then combed the right strands. The same goes for hair.

After finishing, Ye Jie clapped his hands and glanced at Xia Wei with satisfaction: "Not bad, you look more energetic now."

Xia Wei smiled sweetly, and just as she was talking, a strong shock suddenly came from Ye Jie's arms. He took out the ghost order, felt it, and showed an apologetic look: "Someone is looking for me in the underworld. It seems to be very urgent. I can't be there." I’ll stay with you.”

There was a bit of reluctance in Xia Weiming's eyes, and she bit her lip gently, but still said sensibly: "It's okay, Xiaowei is very satisfied that Master can accompany Xiaowei at this time."

Ye Jie patted her on the head, Xia Wei stood up on tiptoes, rubbed her hands into Ye Jie's palms, and then said goodbye reluctantly.

Ye Jie took out the Shuodi Stone and Qingmingzhi and returned to Aunt Meng's Winery. Before he entered, he saw a ghostly figure in white clothes and a white face rushing out.

"Hey Ye Jie! Didn't you say that you have something urgent and can't go to Fengdu Imperial City with us? Why did you become the best ghost errand this year? Tell me, what did you do?"

Seeing Ye Jie, Hua Xiaomei couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed to Ye Jie, reached out and grabbed Ye Jie's collar, shook him, and asked her inner doubts.

"Wait...it's a long story." Ye Jie argued helplessly.

Hua Xiaomei let go of Ye Jie, the suspicion in her eyes never disappeared. She stared at Ye Jie without blinking, looking up and down, trying to see what secrets he was hiding.

Upon learning that Ye Jie had returned, Guazi, one of the maids, also moved over and made an invitation gesture to him:

"Miss He has returned to the wine country and is waiting in the basement. However, without you, she is unwilling to help us find the whereabouts of Aunt Meng's reincarnation. Since you are back, persuade her to start quickly."

Ye Jie nodded, and then returned to the basement of the wine country with everyone.
