Chapter 1138 - 905: It’s All Shi Hu’s Fault (3)
"Since I have been entrusted with such an important task by my elder brother to act on his behalf, Daoist You, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak directly. I’ll make decisions where I can; for those I cannot, I’ll promptly inform my elder brother when possible and let him decide."
It indeed sounds like something has happened. Hopefully, it has nothing to do with Shi Hu, otherwise, once it’s retrieved, we’d have no choice but to press its head down to apologize and then find ways to compensate.
"In that case, I’ll speak plainly." Jiang Yuan said straightforwardly: "I have a friend named Shi Hu. A few months ago, it had a pleasant encounter with Jun Yan.
From its mouth, I heard there’s an Ancient Secret Realm beneath Yunmeng Mountain. Shi Hu, unable to resist the itch, secretly sneaked in, not knowing it was a sealed Ghost Realm. Once it realized something was amiss, it was already difficult to escape. After many twists and turns, it finally got in contact with me today.
Shi Hu trespassed into the Secret Realm and was at fault, but after all, it’s a living being; I simply cannot sit by and watch it die.
Today I came to discuss with Lord Sang, to allow me to enter that Ghost Realm to rescue Shi Hu. Any responsibilities for its transgressions, Shi Hu will shoulder by itself."
After listening to this, Sang Chuanlu’s eyelid twitched with a helpless smile, "Brash creature! So this is the root cause, no wonder the seal has loosened, and even there is a seepage of contamination aura.
My elder brother exerted all his efforts to stabilize the sealing array, and even summoned the little sister to help. But..."
He paused and sighed: "As the Lord, my elder brother is responsible for all living beings in the Yunmeng Mountain region. Unfortunately, the barriers of the Wilderness World are thinning, and the Ghost Realm frequently approaches attempting fusion and contamination. My elder brother has no choice but to seal it and then slowly purify it.
Just utilizing the power of the Yunmeng Sacred Mountain, three Ghost Realms have been suppressed and sealed.
This matter cannot be disclosed; otherwise, rumors will spread and cause widespread panic. My elder brother often has to stabilize the seal and cannot hide it from his subordinates, thus he falsely claims it’s a training Secret Realm, open for destined individuals to explore.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yan took it seriously and leaked this out, and that Shi Hu has committed a grievous error!"
With heavy concern, Jiang Yuan asked further: "What is the current situation? Perhaps I can be of assistance."
"Oh? Daoist You is also skilled in the arts of arrays?" Sang Chuanlu thought to himself, not expecting such versatility.
However, as a Lord, my elder brother possesses great influence, having already summoned many proficient Array Masters to examine it. The contamination power of that Ghost Realm is terrifying, rendering every professional Array Master helpless, and how could a part-time Array Master like yourself be of any help?
Still without hope, he patiently replied: "I suspect when that Shi Hu forcefully broke in, it tore apart a crucial part of the seal, causing the internal array to malfunction.
Recently, during the most critical moment, the contamination aura almost seeped out and affected the lower-Realm subordinates into becoming eerie! Fortunately, my elder brother was vigilant, discovering it early, and thus averted great disaster.
Currently, my brother and sister take turns acting as the Array Hub on the outer array to prevent the leakage of contamination aura, while my elder brother and second brother are inside the Ghost Realm trying to restore the destroyed seal.
Daoist You can go in, it’s not difficult.
However, after emergency repairs during this period, the innermost layer has been resealed and cannot be entered. If Shi Hu is still on the outer layer, it’s fine, but if it triggered the self-defense mechanism and was transported to the inner part by the array, it might have to stay there.
Back then, sealing this Ghost Realm required the united effort of seven Great Lords.
Now, Daoist You is aware that my elder brother hasn’t fully recovered, yet he’s been toiling for two months over this, already exhausted, and two other Lords are secluded in cultivation. There’s no way to gather so many High Level Cultivators to suppress the seal together.
And if any mishap occurs, it will lead to catastrophic devastation. Absolutely, we cannot bear such an enormous risk for a Shi Hu that trespassed into the forbidden area."
