Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 475 Seizing the Fox Pearl

“What…what did you say…”

Strong winds blew up in the mountains and forests, dark clouds pressed down on the sky, making the sun lose its color, and everything in the world was shrouded in darkness.

The roar of the Ghost King boomed violently in the strong wind. Although he was now just a soul without a physical body, he could establish spiritual connection with Guizi Yunzhen through his thoughts.

Yun Zhen, who was trapped under the road of life and death, was already dying, but when he realized that Ji Anni was trying to awaken through Xue Lan's power, he suddenly woke up.

He must stop Xue Lan's power from awakening and Ji Anni's resurrection, otherwise, the seal of the Ghost King will be released. Moreover, Ji Anni's body cannot withstand Xue Lan's thousand-year demon power. If she is forced to revive, she will only pay the price of her life.

At this point, Yun Zhen’s resistance is just a delay, and the resurrection of the Ghost King seems to have become a foregone conclusion.

In this case, let him tell the Ghost King the truth in person. I hope the Ghost King will be mentally prepared before resurrection, and not find out after resurrection that Xue Lan has been dead for many years and suddenly exploded, causing disaster to the world and the people.

While Yun Zhen continued to use his remaining magic power to maintain the seal of Xue Lan, he told the Ghost King everything he knew in his consciousness.

Xue Lan's death, the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Temple, and the appearance of Ji Anni...

This long and sad story that lasted for a hundred years became very plain in the dying Yun Zhen's mouth. Every thrilling, unforgettable, and heartbreaking moment was condensed into the simplest sentence.

The Ghost King could not accept the fact that a hundred years had passed while he was sleeping.

The person you love deeply has turned into a ghost, and the enemy has long since turned into dry bones in the tomb.

It is impossible to stay with the one you love, nor is it possible to fight a life-and-death battle with your enemies.

So what was the point of my resurrection? Even if the seal was broken, what was the meaning of my appearance in the world?

His cries and roars were like thunder that split the earth, causing the mountains and rivers to surge and the boulders on the hillside to break and roll. The world seemed to be swallowed by darkness, without a single ray of light. Everything in the mountains and forests seemed to feel his grief, and the trees all over the mountains and plains shook together, and with the strong wind, they let out a "woooo" cry that resounded through the world.

"I want revenge. I want revenge on stupid humans. Give me your body! I want to be resurrected!"

The heartbroken Ghost King had only the power of hatred to support his will.

Although Yun Zhen was in the path of life and death, he could still feel the movement of the earth's crust and the terrible wind on the ground. He knew that his life was about to end, so he faced the angry ghost king without any fear.

"I'm not dead yet..."

He exhaled lightly, and even he himself was amazed at his own vitality. As long as he was not dead, the ghost king could not take away his body.

He has been buried in the road of life and death for five days. He has not eaten or drunk anything and cannot see the sunlight. He faints and wakes up again, but he is still not dead.

"God must have arranged this for a reason. Was it just to torture me for fun... to let me wander around the gates of hell several times, to let me suffer in the world... was it to make me atone for the sin of cursing my brother?"

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen’s consciousness gradually became blurred and he lost contact with the Ghost King.

The mind became very quiet, and the chaotic thoughts finally gathered into one idea: If I die here, Xue Lan's seal will be completely unlocked, the thousand-year-old demon power will be resurrected in Ji Anni, and the ghost king will also wake up. To stop all this, just don't let the fox bead enter Ji Anni's body!

Yun Zhen's body was pressed under the Road of Life and Death and could no longer move. To prevent Ji Anni from merging with the Fox Pearl, there was only one last method left!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhen gathered all his thoughts into one point and called out a name in his mind.

This is his last hope and the person he trusts the most. No, actually, it's not a person at all, but his shikigami.

"Cang Gui, my most trusted partner! Respond to my call. If you can still hear my voice and feel my thoughts, please listen to my final order: stop Ji Anni and never let the fox bead enter her body!"

At the same time, the Cang Gui next to Ji Anni's body screamed, and he pounced on the resurrected Ji Anni like crazy. His sharp claws bent into the shape of a sickle, and went straight for the glittering fox bead on Ji Anni's chest.

There was a loud "bang" sound, accompanied by sparks. The Cang Gui was blown away by the white light, turned several times in the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

His wings were nearly broken and hung limply behind him, but he endured the pain and flapped his wings again to fly into the sky.

Seeing that his two claws were about to grab the fox bead on Ji Anni's chest again, Xuanjizi hurriedly shouted: "Cang Gui, stop!"

Cang Gui's line of sight and Xuan Jizi's gaze collided at this moment. Under the effect of the pupil spell, the "binding" spell cast on Cang Gui's left eye immediately took effect, restricting Cang Gui's movements.

The Cang Gui who had flown into the air fell to the ground again. Even if he wanted to flap his wings and fly again, he could no longer lift his wings.

The terrible pupil curse makes Cang Gui unable to act according to his own will. His body no longer belongs to him, and he must obey Xuan Ji Zi's orders.

But Yun Zhen's order was also impacting his mind, and preventing the fusion of Fox Pearl and Ji Anni became his greatest mission.

Xuanjizi's annoying pupil curse bound his freedom, and Canggui, who flapped his wings desperately but could no longer fly into the sky, let out a scream that could tear the sky apart. He raised his front paw and grabbed at his left eye!

The next moment, a streak of red blood spurted out and landed at Cang Gui's feet, also dyeing Cang Gui's neck and wings red.

Before Xuanjizi could react, Cang Gui had already flown up, stretched out his claws, and grabbed the fox bead on Ji Anni's chest again.

"How is that possible?" Xuanjizi didn't believe that Cang Gui could break his pupil curse.

At this time, Liuguang's voice came over: "What a fierce eagle, it is worthy of being Yun Zhen's Shikigami. It really makes me look at it with new eyes. It is willing to sacrifice an eye to fulfill the master's wish. Yun Zhen should be smiling in his grave after obtaining this Shikigami."

A cruel smile appeared on his lips, Liuguang pulled the bow and arrow, aimed at Cang Gui and shot.

The Cang Gui who had broken the pupil curse was no longer under Xuanjizi's control. Such a Cang Gui was no longer of any use to Liuguang. Things that were of no use should be completely destroyed, otherwise he would not be able to calm his twisted feelings of love and hate for Yun Zhen.

With a "whoosh" sound, the long arrow broke through the air, but it only passed through the wings of the Cang Gui and pierced deeply into a tree trunk not far away.

At this time, Cang Gui's front paws had already grabbed the fox bead in the white light. When he wanted to pull the fox bead out of Ji Anni's body, his front paws actually caught fire!

The flames jumped up and set all of Cang Gui's feathers on fire.

Cang Gui had no choice but to fly away, but before flying away he used all his strength to grab the fox bead.

It's incredible, but with just a few "pop" sounds, the fox beads were actually shattered by his sharp claws!

The white light surrounding Ji Anni's body suddenly weakened by half, and the other half of the white light shifted to Cang Gui's eagle claws.

The fox bead was split into two, one half was still embedded in Ji Annie's body, and the other half was caught in the claws of Cang Gui.

The flames gradually went out, but a pungent burnt smell still emanated from the Cang Gui's feathers.

Cang Gui didn't know what to do, and he didn't expect that the fox bead would be broken into two halves by him.

On the ground, Liuguang drew his bow again, and the other guards also drew their bows and aimed at Cang Gui under Liuguang's command.

Feeling the murderous aura, Cang Gui had to fly higher and use the cover of branches and leaves to avoid the rain of arrows.

Because of Cang Gui's destruction, Ji Anni, who had been between life and death, finally gradually woke up.

Her body was simply unable to withstand Xue Lan's thousand-year-old demonic power. If she forced herself to absorb the entire fox bead, she would die.

Cang Gui stole half of the fox bead and accidentally saved Ji Annie's life.

Although Ji Anni was unable to open her eyes and stand up, her consciousness was gradually regaining.

In the haze, she seemed to be walking in a mist, and vaguely heard Yun Zhen's voice coming from a distance: "Annie..."

Just two words, Ji Annie's heart was immediately filled with warmth.

"Yun Zhen... Yun Zhen, you finally came to see me..."

A misty white shadow appeared before my eyes, and the fog gradually dissipated, revealing Yun Zhen's appearance.

Yun Zhen frowned and said worriedly, "Do you know that you are about to die?"

Ji Anni said stubbornly: "I will give it a try even if it means death."

Xiaoxue is dead, and Prince Ming is possessed by Yuan Rong, and his life or death is uncertain, but she can only watch them suffer. Ji Anni has long been tired of being so incompetent.

Yun Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "Why are you so stubborn? Do you know what price you will pay for this? Even if your body can withstand Xue Lan's demonic power, the Ghost King is about to wake up. Can you stop the Ghost King's revenge? And..."

His eyes suddenly dimmed, and he choked up and said, "I am a ghost, and the ghost king will awaken in my body."

"..." Ji Anni couldn't utter a word. The fact that she had already known sounded even more tragic when it came out of Yun Zhen's mouth.

Yun Zhen paused for a moment, then calmly stated the final result: "That is to say - I will die."

Ji Anni rushed forward and grabbed Yun Zhen's sleeve tightly. Her eyes were full of tears. She bit her lips tightly, but still couldn't say a word. Why did Yun Zhen's words sound like a last will? Is it really irreversible?

Yun Zhen gently hugged Ji Anni and whispered in her ear: "Even so, do you still want to get Xue Lan's power?"

Ji Anni was unable to answer this question, and tears welled up in Yun Zhen's arms.

If I say I don't want to now, will Yun Zhen not have to die? If I say I don't want to now, what will happen to the promise I made to Xue Lan to build a new world? There is no turning back... Why is Yun Zhen a devil? Why is Yun Zhen destined to die?
