Chapter 618 I'm a Ghost in the Underworld, Generation 2, Part 34
Exit of the Trial Grounds of the Three Realms, inside the camp.
Obviously,
The three little ones were not in good condition. They were injured, but not by anyone present. They were injured by species inhabiting the interior of the Spirit Vein Mountain. The various heroes who were holding them back did not come to their aid, nor did they help treat them or send them medicine.
The food and lodging were not stingy; they were treated the same as all other participants in the trial.
But the most difficult tactic to resist is oppression, especially a very high degree of psychological oppression.
Before Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei arrived, various powerful forces, including the guides, the three remaining forces, sent different people to talk to them.
The three forces are the most numerous, and the third cycle has basically been completed.
Even if Xia Youmi and his group traveled at a slow pace, it would not take more than seven days. On average, they would travel non-stop from morning to night, with constant attacks from those who coveted their resources.
There's no need to understand the brainwashing content. Xia Youmi can imagine that from individuals to the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, and then to everyone around her, once they try to covet this spiritual vein and treasure, they will be condemned by heaven and earth.
Fortunately,
The moment the Black and White Impermanence rushed in, the three little ones' eyes lit up instantly, before they were completely shattered.
This is also thanks to a special training program.
Almost no one present could have imagined that the mental attack on the three children was only about 10% effective, making them more resilient than many exceptionally gifted individuals. Furthermore, they didn't exhibit this exceptional resilience; instead, as time passed and the intensity of the coercion increased, they gradually developed a state of numbness, loosening, and confusion.
If they could immediately boast to the Black and White Impermanence, Qingze and the others would surely say loudly, "Don't you even know what kind of trial crisis they faced the first time they left the Underworld? What kind of painful and humiliating experience did they have? What did they hide and dare not talk about?"
It was because his mind was disturbed by the black mist monster that he fought so fiercely inside the spatial artifact that he lost all sense of the world.
Anyone who cares about their reputation will inevitably feel this way, but they are more pragmatic and will try to learn from it and overcome it to avoid repeating the same mistake.
Especially after they had been studying on their own for a while, they discovered that the Black and White Impermanence had already developed resistance. In addition to magic, they also had a set of very shameless habits. If someone mentally controls you, you will patiently find their weak point. You don't need to explain. You can just think about it in your mind and treat it as a joke to amuse yourself. If you have a companion around, you can also use secret codes to confirm and supplement each other's information.
It was incredibly fun. What they needed to practice next was how to keep a straight face and not laugh out loud when the other party was putting mental pressure on them, so as not to turn the verbal battle into a physical one.
Fortunately, Lord Bai Wuchang seems to have a lot of experience and can always help them correct their mistakes in various practical situations.
In this way, when the other party has ulterior motives, the calamity is glossed over by deceiving them in return.
This is extremely effective for people to talk to each other; at least, they don't dare to use magic or absolute force to suppress each other.
The identity of the sole heir of the Underworld lies in this. Although they look down on the Netherworld, which has not sent any outstanding talents for trials for many years, considering them all to be inflexible and lacking in new generations of strong individuals, they have long since been unable to demonstrate that they understand each other's identities, and none of them can bear the responsibility for the chaos in the Three Realms.
Before the arrival of the Black and White Impermanence, most of them were not only anxious but also a little apprehensive. After all, they had been working hard for three years without ever making a mistake in their duties, and they had also learned that they had dealt with many difficult evil spirits.
They are certainly not like fresh straw men.
No matter how they prepared or what kind of pressure they planned to exert, no one expected that the Black and White Impermanence would enter the camp with such overwhelming force, showing no respect and leaving no room for dialogue. They directly overturned the objects in the area, shielded the three little ones in a small corner, and their expressions were more terrifying than anyone else's.
Even if there were scratches, most of those present were peers or juniors, while the more senior ones were waiting in the back for them to beg and plead for forgiveness.
This gave them the confidence to cause trouble, since even if they were investigated in the end, they hadn't offended anyone of higher seniority.
Xiao Hei didn't have Niannian's broad perspective, so when Xia Youmi suggested entering the camp and causing a ruckus, he agreed, showing the courage to follow Xiao Bai to the very end.
Xia Youmi naturally knew who was in the room, but she couldn't tell them. Xiao Hei's cooperation naturally reflected the unpredictable tacit understanding and trust between them.
"Master! Master!"
"Master! Waaah!"
A barrage of curses erupted from all directions, but none could drown out the loud voices of the three little ones who couldn't stop thirsting.
They cried, trembled, and howled like ghosts; with their pitiful appearance and ability to assess the situation, no one doubted that they were acting.
"come over."
Xia Youmi's voice was extremely cold, and combined with the meaningless spell he had learned from Master Kongxiang, it instantly sent shivers down people's spines. In reality, it was just a slight cooling effect and an amplification of sound waves.
It looks very light, but it's actually very heavy.
The three little ones helped each other up, their steps slightly unsteady, but their gait was slow, firm, and elegant as they moved closer to the Black and White Impermanence.
The tacit understanding between the master and apprentice group is also reflected here. No matter what Xia Youmi brings to support them, or whether it has any weight to take away, they must act as if they have suffered enough grievances to increase the bargaining power of all parties.
Moreover, it was merely an exaggeration of the actions, not fabrication.
We must get our revenge no matter what.
"Be bold!"
Because Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei had already ruined the environment, those of their equals who had dressed up carefully and were preparing to show off their immortal appearance had lost much of their composure and were inevitably angered by their arrogance, or were splashed with tea by the tea they were unable to avoid.
Besides the three factions, there were also onlookers and envoys from the Three Realms present.
Their disheveled appearance lacked their former grandeur, and some people had already run away to the residence of their seniors in the back. Others couldn't resist trying to spar with them, but were thrown back by the Black and White Impermanence under the guise of a counterattack.
Those who are truly capable are usually not reckless; those who are eager to show off their abilities often leave themselves vulnerable.
Some attacks were purely verbal, but because the three little ones were having their wounds checked by the Black and White Impermanence, they were all very amicable, and those attacks seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier.
"This is utterly incomprehensible! You barbarians!"
"whispering sound!"
"sharp."
Amidst the chaos, Xia Youmi even caught snickers and cheers for her; it was quite a lively scene.
"Stop laughing, go and fetch Master!"
As the excitement gradually cooled down, the people in the arena basically understood the disparity in strength.
Although it is called the Trial of the Three Realms, the Underworld only has a small team. The Heavenly Court does not like to take the lead. Therefore, most of the struggles and the three forces that remain are openly from the human world. As for which side—Heaven, Earth, or Humanity—supports them behind the scenes, it is unknown.
But Xia Youmi guesses that to achieve this balance, it's basically a matter of heaven, earth, and man each occupying one side.
The ones in the underworld might not even be on the same page.
Seeing that they were moving in unison, Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei took the opportunity to bring the three little ones out of the room, creating the illusion that they wanted to have a private chat. This sight made many people break out in a cold sweat.
Although they didn't cooperate much, they weren't fools. If they were really let go, the magic weapon would be hidden by the Black and White Impermanence, and it wouldn't be as easy to control as the three little devils. The reason for attacking them would also be weaker.
So, before they had even completely left the camp, but had only reached the outer plaza where more people were gathered, they were stopped by three teams that had rushed over and their leaders.
Because it took time to persuade and explain, and they realized that the other party wanted to leave.
The three teams lacked discipline, with people constantly breaking in, trying to recreate their previous formations to create a more imposing presence.
Qingze lowered his head and chuckled to himself.
As the saying goes, speed is the only way to break through martial arts, and the same applies to showing off. As long as the master doesn't give them time to adjust, the team's morale will inevitably drop, unlike before when they were allowed to set up formations and their eyes were fixed on their foreheads.
"Please wait, Lord Wuchang!" The one who spoke was all smiles and very polite, but for no reason, it made the three little ones' auras sink, a sign of rejection and tension.
In other words, the friendliest people hurt the most when subjected to psychological oppression.
"Oh? This is the Grand Elder who attempted to control my disciple's mind with magic?"
Xia Youmi showed no mercy, striking straight to the heart.
This elder is a notorious smiling tiger, but those who are not familiar with him will be fooled into thinking that the underworld is not good at gossip in the human world. They never expected that his true colors would be exposed on the very first meeting.
What's even more interesting is that although this person is experienced, his cultivation level is not the highest among those present. He was exposed by the other two groups when he was about to use magic against the rules, and everyone promised not to make a fuss about it.
However, Xia Youmi's words immediately aroused the suspicion of the Grand Elder. Who was the one who betrayed the information?
The sharp, terrifying eyes shifted from the Black and White Impermanence to his side, chilling those who possessed ghosts.
By sheer coincidence, Xia Youmi's source of information was Niannian, and coincidentally, someone betrayed the information. It was truly a case of ghosts meeting ghosts, a stroke of good luck.
"you!"
"What?" Xiao Hei smiled wickedly, pointing at the Grandmaster of the second faction who had spoken out in accusation.
The opponent was highly skilled in combat and not afraid of Xiao Hei, but he was also somewhat apprehensive. He could tell from the atmosphere that if he went up against him, he would be the next one to have his secrets exposed.
He smiled, pretended to be tolerant, and shook his head.
From the perspective of the forces behind him, their grandmaster had not lost.
The last force remained silent throughout, showing no interest in introducing themselves. They simply scrutinized the group, returning the disdain shown by the Black and White Impermanence to them. In short, none of them were to be trifled with.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Xia Youmi said, "I know that everyone here is a respectable cultivator and a reasonable person. They would not do anything that would be beneath their dignity. I was anxious to save my disciple and lost my composure for a moment. Please forgive me!"
She suddenly became polite, but no one responded.
That's exactly the effect I wanted. Xia Youmi clasped her hands in apology, but didn't bend her back even slightly.
Seeing that the crowd was starting to complain, Xiao Hei gave a signal.
Then she got really into it, putting on a show of what it means to "rather provoke a gentleman than a villain"!
