Chapter 162: Our Strength is Low
The token of the Hall of Yama was crafted in a rather special way.
Not only could it broadcast the inhuman acts of the King of Hell, but it also informed everyone in the Hall of Yama about his whereabouts.
Of course, the King of Hell also knew where his people were.
As long as you had the token, there was no need for a secret code.
So, when Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou arrived, everyone in the Hall of Yama was already aware.
Earlier, they had just seen these two Yama saving lives, and now they suddenly appeared before them.
They were genuinely scared.
But Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou pretended to be mere foot soldiers to avoid exposing their identities.
Since the King of Hell didn’t want to reveal himself, if they displayed any unusual behavior, it would only benefit other brothers.
After all, those blood and souls, once drained, were up for grabs to be refined into pills.
Though everyone’s faces were pale, they didn’t dare make any extra movements.
Ji Suying glanced around and felt something was off.
But instead of probing further, she turned her attention to the Third Prince.
“When will the secret realm open?”
The Third Prince finally regained his composure at that moment.
“The secret realm? Just wait a bit longer; I still have some plans to finish!”
Ji Suying nodded.
Then everyone settled back into waiting mode, while Ji Suying sat down to meditate.
——————
Zhao Gou looked at Ji Suying, suddenly frowning.
“Your woman has a problem with her body!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
“That was an accident; you don’t have to say it like that!”
Zhao Gou thought for a moment and agreed.
Back then, when the Hell Demon used his charm, she had remained unaffected.
“Seems like there’s a terrifying power within Ji Suying. It’s so massive that her body can’t even handle it anymore!”
Liu Shunyi was taken aback.
He suddenly remembered something.
Ji Suying had mentioned before that her foundation was an ancient sword.
Every time she drew it, the power of the sword technique would increase a bit.
At that time, Liu Shunyi was actually thinking, if he had that kind of ability, he could spark off fire every day just by drawing his sword.
So why had Ji Suying never practiced much, and even rarely drew the sword?
Turns out, her body couldn’t handle this power anymore.
Liu Shunyi suddenly asked, “Can you cure her?”
Zhao Gou scratched his head.
“Her condition can only be fixed by enhancing her physical strength. But I reckon she’s already tried and has hit the limit of what she can bear. Otherwise, she needs to find a treasure that can support her strength.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Gou remembered the Sun and Moon Map Ji Suying had gotten from Lin Wudao.
Her goal now was the Sun and Moon Seal in the secret realm.
If it was just the map, it wouldn’t be particularly useful.
But with the seal alongside the map, it could directly evolve into a miniature universe.
That kind of world could act as a second vessel for her.
“This Sun and Moon Seal is indeed crucial for her!” Zhao Gou said.
Liu Shunyi nodded as well.
“Then let’s help her get that seal!”
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi with some exasperation.
“Even though you don’t have any emotional connection yet, she is technically your fiancée. Why are you treating her like a random tall girl?”
Liu Shunyi rolled his eyes.
“Did you forget we’re both just at the Nascent Soul stage? Sure, we might be able to wreak havoc right now, but that’s just because we’ve taken over someone else’s cultivation that’s been sealed!”
Zhao Gou patted his head.
“Right, I got a bit carried away; you’re right!”
Just then, another member of the Hall of Yama directly stepped between the two.
“Actually, even if the Sun and Moon Map and Seal are combined, it’ll only provide a temporary solution. She’s swung her sword too many times, and the power inside her is enourmous; she needs to break through again, at least to the Body Integration realm, or get a Heavenly Repair Pill!”
Zhao Gou stared dumbfounded at the sudden intruder.
And he was from the Hall of Yama, too.
What a bold move! Don’t you know who we are?
Zhao Gou glanced at Liu Shunyi, only to find him in a daze.
“I—whoa, Sister Chen, when did you join the Hall of Yama?”
Chen Qiaoli grinned.
“I joined a while after the Hall was established. Initially, I joined just to escape the Angry Heaven Palace’s pursuit, but I didn’t expect you two to be the founders!”
Zhao Gou was also bewildered.
“You’re—Chen Qiaoli?”
Chen Qiaoli nodded slightly.
Then she added, “The token of the Hall of Yama was crafted by me. So, what do you think? Isn’t this token pretty useful? Shouldn’t you give me a little reward, Junior Brother?”
Liu Shunyi was stunned.
“Wow, you’ve done so much for the Hall of Yama in secret. By the way, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Chen Qiaoli waved her hand.
“If I told you, I was afraid you’d give me a better position, and then I’d get attention!”
“Attention could expose my information. If my information gets exposed, it could lead to the Hall of Yama being exposed too. If Ji Suying finds out the Hall of Yama is run by you two, she’d surely get involved. And if she did, the Hall of Yama would face an unpredictable battle ahead, and the chances of survival would only be nine out of ten. I think that’s a bit shaky!”

Liu Shunyi: “…”
Zhao Gou: “…”
“But don’t worry, my sudden appearance is absolutely safe from being exposed. Plus, I came to borrow something— I need to prepare for the Heavenly Repair Pill. And you must find a way to tell Ji Suying not to compete for the Heavenly Repair Pill. If I have it, she essentially has it too, but no one can find out about it.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“What do you want to borrow?”
Chen Qiaoli pulled out a mirror.
“I need a copy of that black gourd of yours!”
Liu Shunyi didn’t hesitate.
But soon, Chen Qiaoli found that she couldn’t replicate the black gourd.
“As expected!”
Chen Qiaoli wasn’t disappointed.
Instead, she said, “Just let me borrow this black gourd for a bit!”
Liu Shunyi handed the black gourd over without hesitation.
Chen Qiaoli smiled sweetly.
“By the way, seeing as I’m the one who built the Hall of Yama’s intelligence network, crafted the token, and later helped with the soul armor and soul weapons too, can I get a reward or something?”
Liu Shunyi was flabbergasted again.
Finally regaining his senses, he nodded.
“Fair enough, but what kind of reward do you want?”
Chen Qiaoli stated again, “Just give me a few hundred of those souls you stitched together!”
Liu Shunyi: “!!!”
“A few thousand would work too!”
Liu Shunyi quickly cut in.
“Wait, giving you souls isn’t a problem, but where am I supposed to find that many?!”
