【Ye Yu’s expression became extremely strange.】
【What is this?】
【What exactly is going on?】
【Why did she suddenly kneel for no reason at all?】
【Ye Yu did not immediately help Zheng Ya up. Instead, he turned around, sat down, and asked softly, “What do you mean by this?”】
【Fairly speaking, today was likely the first time the two of them had ever met.】
【Everything about Zheng Ya was unfamiliar to Ye Yu, including her identity.】
【So the concept of trust simply could not exist.】
【Therefore, before he understood exactly what was going on, Ye Yu naturally would not treat Zheng Ya with much courtesy.】
【After that, Zheng Ya began to tell her story.】
【She had cultivated in the Celestial World for many years and, by sheer luck, stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm.】
【One day, while traveling outside, she suddenly discovered a secret realm opening in a hidden location.】
【In search of an opportunity, Zheng Ya entered without hesitation!】
【The density of immortal power in that secret realm was so astonishing that it left one speechless.】
【It was absolutely the place where some great figure had fallen.】
【Such a place represented a heaven defying opportunity, but it also came with mortal danger!】
【No one knew what massive immortal power might give birth to!】
【But since she had already entered, there was no way back.】
【Zheng Ya could only begin exploring cautiously.】
【During the exploration, she encountered many attacks from immortal beasts.】
【These were likely immortal pets raised by that great figure during their lifetime. After the person fell, the immortal power remained, and the strength of these beasts continued to grow.】
【As a result, after consecutive battles, Zheng Ya suffered many injuries.】
【In the end, she stumbled into a cave.】
【This seemed to be the place where that great figure had once lived.】
【The interior structure was extremely exquisite.】
【There were even stone tables and stone chairs.】
【But none of that was the most important part. The most important thing was that at the deepest part of the cave, there were ten stone tablets, all inscribed with Ancient Immortal Script.】
【Even to this day, those characters were still gleaming with light.】
【Zheng Ya was widely read and had some research into Ancient Immortal Script.】
【Just as she was about to see what was written on them, a Scarlet Flame Python suddenly sprang out from behind the stone tablets.】
【Caught completely off guard, Zheng Ya was bitten on the spot.】
【With fire poison invading her body, the immortal power within her could not be condensed at all.】
【Just as she was about to be devoured by the Scarlet Flame Python, a man’s figure suddenly appeared and, with a single sword strike, severed the python’s head!】
【At that moment, it perfectly matched the scene of a hero saving a beauty.】
【That man was none other than Nie Chu!】
【At that time, the Six Realms passages had not yet been closed.】
【So within the Celestial World, there were also members of the Yokai race and ghost immortals moving about. As for the Demon Race, they were almost nonexistent.】
【This was because that period coincided with intense conflict between immortals and demons.】
【Nie Chu’s appearance there was not particularly abrupt.】
【However, his heart was very cold. Not only did he show not the slightest bit of tenderness or pity, he even developed killing intent toward Zheng Ya.】
【Without a doubt, he had clearly realized that these stone tablets were valuable, and he intended to claim them all for himself.】
【Sensing the killing intent, Zheng Ya hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, “Don’t kill me. I’m useful. I can help you translate the text on the stone tablets. This is Ancient Immortal Script. There are very few who can truly understand it!”】
【Hearing this, Nie Chu wavered somewhat.】
【After thinking it over repeatedly, he nodded heavily.】
【Seeing this, Zheng Ya immediately let out a sigh of relief.】
【But the continuous battles, combined with the fire poison entering her body, caused her to faint on the spot!】
【When she woke up again, she had no idea how much time had passed.】
【But Zheng Ya could clearly feel that this place was not the Celestial World, but the Underworld!】
【The blood moon hanging in the sky was proof enough!】
【Zheng Ya felt very puzzled. Why had Nie Chu brought her to the Underworld? Why couldn’t it have been the Celestial World?】
【Was he worried that after she woke up, she would call for help, have him killed, and then reclaim the stone tablets?】
【Heh, truly a cautious man.】
【You must know that at that time, Nie Chu was not yet a Ghost Emperor, but only at the Nether Ghost Realm.】
【Ten breaths after Zheng Ya woke up, he arrived there and immediately sealed the circulation of her immortal power.】
【Then he spoke and asked, “How much of the content on the stone tablets do you remember? Other than the tablets, what else was in that place? I want you to swear on the Great Dao for these two answers. Otherwise, die now!”】
【Faced with a threat to her life, Zheng Ya could only swear on the Great Dao and speak the truth!】
【She had only just arrived at that place and had not had time to read the contents on the stone tablets before being injured.】
【Nie Chu was very satisfied with this answer and smiled.】
【It was the first time Zheng Ya had ever seen his smile, and it felt extremely sinister.】
【From that point on, Nie Chu would bring a sheet of paper every day, with a single Ancient Immortal Script character written on it.】
【He had Zheng Ya translate it one character at a time!】
【The purpose of doing this was very clear. He did not want Zheng Ya to know the order or arrangement of the characters on the stone tablets.】
【If it turned out to be a supreme immortal art, what if she learned it and then killed him?】
【His vigilance was extreme!】
【Zheng Ya had no complaints about this.】
【She only hoped to finish translating the Ancient Immortal Script as quickly as possible so Nie Chu would let her return.】
【This went on for more than a hundred days.】
【Just as Zheng Ya was preparing to propose leaving, heaven and earth suddenly changed, and the Six Realms passages became history.】
【Immortals could no longer ascend from the Underworld to the Celestial World!】
【After learning of this, Zheng Ya nearly went mad!】
【How could this be?】
【If she could not return to the Celestial World, where should she go?】
【In utter despair, Zheng Ya began to cry loudly!】
【And Nie Chu, for once, began to comfort her!】
【Back and forth, their relationship rapidly deepened.】
【At least, that was what Zheng Ya believed.】
【But later she discovered that she was wrong, disastrously wrong!】
【One day, Nie Chu placed all ten stone tablets in front of Zheng Ya and had her translate them all again, to see if there were any omissions.】
【Zheng Ya teased, “Oh? You’re willing to let me see them today? Aren’t you afraid I’ll deliberately translate something fake to harm you?”】
【Nie Chu smiled and shook his head. “You won’t. Because if you harm me, you harm yourself. Yesterday, you already swallowed the Ghost Pill of Subjugation. That means I already hold your lifeline. If I die, you will die as well.”】
【The smile on Zheng Ya’s face completely vanished.】
【She could tell that Nie Chu was not joking at all!】
【But when had this happened? Why hadn’t she sensed anything at all?】
【The Ghost Pill of Subjugation, as the name implies, is a pill of absolute submission. Life and death are entirely in the master’s hands.】
【As long as the other party is unwilling, Zheng Ya cannot even commit suicide.】
