Chapter 463: Chapter 459: Ma Mian Lends a Hand Chapter 463: Chapter 459: Ma Mian Lends a Hand “Master, you treated me well, I won't leave. I have a time limit for using the transformation technique on living beings. Once I leave, you will quickly return to your original form. We Starfish clan can combine with other living beings to extend the transformation time. Let me stay.” White Star suddenly said, his gaze resolute.

“You have this ability! Alright then, I'm counting on you!” Shen Luo was taken aback, and then he nodded in agreement.

He was also worried about the time limit for the transformation. He didn't expect White Star to have this ability.

After saying this, he dismissed the Spirit Communicating Water Hole with a spell, then took out a black silk book and smashed it before swallowing the Yin Zhe Pill.

This black silk book was the Soul Contract given to him by Soul Hook Horse Face, which could summon him to rescue in a crisis.

Soul Hook Horse Face only has a cultivation level of the Soul Condensation Stage, and he doesn't know if he can survive this Nascent Soul Stage Ghost. But now the situation is urgent, he can't care about it anymore.

As soon as the Yin Zhe Pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a cold current, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Before long, Shen Luo's Mana had all retreated, his body became cold, and the color of his skin turned black and blue, like a corpse. However, his senses were a lot weaker than usual.

White Star flexed its body, quickly crawled onto Shen Luo, and a fog-like white light appeared on its body, wrapping around the two.

Their bodies quickly became blurred and turned into a black stone, without any breath leaking out, indistinguishable from the surrounding fallen stones.

This was Shen Luo's first time being subjected to White Star's transformation technique, and he found the experience quite novel. He could still look around and hear sounds.

As soon as White Star completed the transformation, the ghostly Qi emanating from the passage deep in the Giant Hall intensified, accompanied by a rustling sound mixed within, like chains dragging on the ground.

At this moment, there were also the sounds of digging coming from the blocked passageway, getting louder and louder. It was clear that Chen Gang was using some kind of spiritual power to dig through the collapsed passageway, and it seemed to be about to break through.

“Great, you two should fight first!” Upon sensing this unexpected situation, Shen Luo became excited.

Just then, a shadow flashed at the entrance of the passageway in the rear hall, and a tall black ghost figure walked out. Judging by the look, it seems to be a prisoner in its past life. Its disheveled hair covered most of its face, its neck and feet were shackled, and two black chains trailed behind it on the ground, causing a constant, piercing noise.

Shen Luo could tell from the strong ghostly Qi emanating from its body that this ghost had at least the power of the late Nascent Soul Stage. He wondered if his tricks were sufficient to deceive it.

The shackled ghost slowly lifted its head, looked at the white-robed youth and others in the hall, and suddenly two balls of blood light shone from behind its split hair.

With no noticeable movements, the chains trailing behind the ghost shot into the air as if alive, and with a “puff”, they pierced the bodies of the white-robed youth and the Leopard-headed Big Man.

The bodies of the white-robed youth and the Leopard-headed Big Man shook, and they woke up from their deep sleep in an instant, letting out a shrill scream.

But at this moment, they were severely injured and could not resist at all.

They saw strands of blood light pouring out from their bodies and into the black chains.

The bodies of the white-robed youth and the Leopard-headed Big Man quickly withered, and after two or three breaths, they turned into corpses.

The same two chains then shot out again, piercing the bodies of the red-skirted young woman and the one-eyed man, quickly absorbing their bodies into corpses as well.

The hall was completely silent. The digging sounds inside the collapsed passageway stopped. Chen Gang inside seemed to have noticed the situation here and stopped digging.

After absorbing the essence of the four people, the blood light in the eyes of the shackled ghost surged even more, shooting out two tangible blood lights, looking around the hall, its eyes revealing a touch of confusion.

Shen Luo's heart was in his throat, and he was trying his best to calm his emotions.

Just at this moment, the space around Shen Luo, who was transformed into a black stone, shook slightly, a very faint black Qi appearing out of nowhere, encapsulating the black stone.

The gaze of the shackled ghost wandered around, sweeping over the place where Shen Luo was hiding without pausing, and quickly moved away.

The heart in Shen Luo's chest slowly relaxed.

The bloody light in the eyes of the shackled ghost continued to flow. Suddenly it turned towards the collapsed passageway and let out an excited growl. Its body transformed into a black shadow, quickly disappearing into the collapsed passageway. The terrifying speed was a stark contrast to its previous slow walk.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep in the passageway, the sound of battle erupted, interspersed with astonishment and anger. That was Chen Gang's voice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo was delighted but dared not move.

The sounds of battle only sounded a few times before a pitiful, mournful scream echoed from inside the passageway, then everything fell silent.

After several breaths, a black shadow flickered from the collapsed passageway, the figure of the shackled ghost reappeared, slowly walking into the passageway deep inside the giant hall and disappearing.

“Come out now, that guy has left. The fact that you called upon me to confront that formidable ghost, you were trying to kill me, huh?” The void around the black stone stirred, and a figure emerged. It was Soul Hook Horse Face, who said angrily.

A white light also shimmered on the black stone transformed by Shen Luo. After a few flashes, he and White Star reemerged.

“You do know how to hide,” Soul Hook Horse Face said, glancing at Shen Luo with a raised eyebrow.

White Star, looking at Soul Hook Horse Face, its little eyes revealing a hint of fear, quickly climbed down from Shen Luo and quietly stayed at one side.

“I made it difficult for you, Senior Horse Face. Things were critical, and I didn't even have time to think, so I used the Soul Contract.” Shen Luo said with some remorse, still lying on the ground.

His body was rigid and he couldn't move at all; even his speech was somewhat unclear.

“You took the Yin Zhe Pill? No wonder you could suppress your breath to such an extent.” Soul Hook Horse Face sized up Shen Luo, reaching forth and pressing a hand on Shen Luo's shoulder.

Shen Luo only felt the cold qi formed by the Yin Zhe Pill within his body stir, all converging toward the palm of Soul Hook Horse Face.

A few breaths later, his body returned to normal and he got up.

“Thank you for your help, elder.”

“Enough. Helping you this once means we are even now. Huh, your cultivation is advancing quite fast, almost catching up with me,” Soul Hook Horse Face glanced at Shen Luo and gave a light exclamation.

“You flatter me, elder.” Shen Luo laughed.

“You become complacent with a little praise. You, lad, are truly reckless, daring to come to this Yinling Mountain Tomb all by yourself. You must not value your life. Even the Underworld wouldn't dare to interfere too much with this place,” Soul Hook Horse Face became stern, berating him.

“I never expected this place to be so dangerous. This journey has been a mix of unexpected events, not what I originally intended,” Shen Luo said with a wry smile.

“Regardless, I will get you out first. This isn't a place to linger,” Soul Hook Horse Face, clearly not wanting to stay any longer, reached out to grasp Shen Luo's shoulder.

“Please wait a moment, elder.” Shen Luo spoke, then summoned a ball of water, opening the Spirit Communicating Water Hole.

“White Star, thank you very much this time. You should return to the Eastern Sea now.”

White Star didn't utter a word, just flickered and disappeared into the Spirit Communicating Water Hole.

“You're unusually kind to the Demon Race, quite unlike ordinary monks,” Soul Hook Horse Face laughed.

“Whether it be monks or the Demon Race, all are living beings. Even if some demons harm humans, those are only a portion of the demons. There is no need to generalize,” said Shen Luo quietly.
