Chapter 192: Chapter 191: Su Qi: Even If I’m Dead, He Can’t Marry Another Woman

’So I should take this chance to kill Jiu Xi?’

With that thought, Jiang Zuo no longer hesitated. Since the opportunity had come, there was no need to pass it up.

Jiang Zuo began to mobilize the Heart-piercing Snakes. They needed to be well hidden.

Even with the help of the Heart-piercing Snakes, Jiang Zuo wouldn’t let his guard down. Jiu Xi was not an easy target, and he would give it his all.

Especially since his opponent had the help of an Array.

The mark of a Candidacy Saintess could draw upon the power of the Array. While not a great amount, if used well, it could still cause his hunt to fail.

Now that he had decided to hunt Jiu Xi, Jiang Zuo started to move. He didn’t know what the situation was like on the seventh layer, nor did he plan on going up. He just had to find a good spot on a lower level and wait patiently.

Jiang Zuo was currently by the lake. He noticed that the sixth layer was already shrouded in a thick fog, and it was only growing denser.

The thickness of the fog mattered little to Jiang Zuo; in fact, it would help conceal him.

Meanwhile, on the seventh layer, everyone was still reeling, completely dumbfounded. It had all happened too fast—so fast they hadn’t had time to react.

One moment, the Immortal Lock appeared. The next, it expanded. Then it was complete. And just like that, the Yin Yang Fish appeared.

Everything happened in a flash, giving them no chance to react.

Even when it was all over, they still didn’t understand what had happened. All they knew was that the Yin Yang Fish had been captured.

It couldn’t be helped; the Immortal Lock had broadcast the news. It would be impossible not to know.

At that moment, Su Qi and the others got to their feet (having been sent flying and landing in a graceful heap on the ground). The Yin Yang Fish had arrived, so they needed to go communicate with them and, while they were at it, ask what was going on.

Jingyue spoke up, "Can you speak human?"

The Yin Yang Fish: "..."

’This generation’s Saintess is pretty useless. She can’t even speak Fish, and she always has to make things difficult for us.’

’She just doesn’t get it.’

’Well, the last Saintess wasn’t great either. They really are getting worse with each generation.’

But they said nothing, because they couldn’t speak human.

As for communicating, the Saintess had a special method. It just consumed a bit more energy.

’But that was the price for not knowing how to speak Fish.’

Jingyue then sighed. "You’ve all lived for so long. Can’t you learn to speak human? How are you supposed to keep up with the times if you can’t even do that?"

One, Two, and Three all gave her a cold stare. If not for their naturally calm temperaments, they would have started cussing her out right then and there.

But then they glanced at the fishing rods tossed to one side, and their expressions instantly soured.

’What were these people doing?’

’Trying to catch us?’

Shi Qi had just gone missing. This made them furious.

Jingyue straightened her clothes and shifted into her ’Saintess mode.’ An ethereal aura washed over her as she declared solemnly, "The Yin Yang Fish failed to appear and sent no word. We intended to fish you out. Were we in the wrong?"

We don’t wish to argue, but there is a matter we need your help with, said One.

Jingyue’s ’mode’ was now active, a state of communication where everyone could understand each other’s meaning. It had nothing to do with spoken language; it could be understood as a telepathic exchange.

’As long as they don’t hold the fishing incident against us, it’s fine.’ Jingyue thought, then asked, "What is it?"

We have lost three Yin Yang Fish. Someone caught them. That person is now trapped. You must find him quickly and retrieve our companions.

He has Shi Qi, at the very least, added Two.

Su Qi and the others were astonished. Three of them? What kind of person was so formidable? No wonder it had triggered such a massive disturbance.

"A Ghost Cultivator?" Su Qi asked.

Because recently, only Ghost Cultivators had been causing trouble in the Holy Land.

Jingyue shook her head. "It’s hard to say."

Then she asked, "But we can’t get to the lower levels."

Three spoke: Don’t worry. The Immortal Lock and the Holy Land Array expanded in sync, so you will be able to find him. He should be imprisoned, unless he can escape the Immortal Lock’s control.

Jingyue said, "Understood. So, you’ll handle the transfer yourselves?"

The transfer was a troublesome process, and it would be even more difficult without their help. However, the sacrificial rite couldn’t be halted for the sake of the Yin Yang Fish. Jingyue had read countless texts.

She understood one thing clearly: for all parties involved, the Holy Land Array was the absolute priority. Nothing was more important.

Therefore, the Saintess would search for the culprit, and the Yin Yang Fish would have to handle the transfer on their own. They had to accept it, no matter how troublesome.

The Yin Yang Fish were naturally aware of this. We will manage, but we hope you can take care of our business as well.

Jingyue asked, "And what if the person isn’t imprisoned?"

Then you’ll have to figure it out for yourselves.

Jingyue felt a sense of helplessness, but finally said, "Understood. We’ll figure out a way to find him now."

Afterward, at the central Array on the seventh layer, a pillar of water began to form. The Yin Yang Fish were about to begin their transfer, after which the Four Symbols Fish and the Eight Trigrams Colored Fish would surge in.

This process was extremely time-consuming and monotonous.

Jingyue and the others were quite happy they didn’t have to do it themselves.

All they had to do was find someone. It seemed simple enough, especially since this was their home turf.

As Candidacy Saintesses, they didn’t even fear Tier Five experts here. The Array provided them with its own automatic Defense.

They were far from fragile here.

Here, they could experience what it felt like to be a powerhouse. So, just finding one person was a cushy job in their eyes.

Jingyue reverted to her usual self and looked at the other five. "So, how should we go about this search?"

Su Qi said, "The fish just said the person is already imprisoned. We just need to head down and find the edge of the expanded range. It should be easy to find him that way, right?"

Qing Lian added, "Should we go together or split up?"

The youngest Candidacy Saintess said, "I’d be scared to go alone."

She had grown up in the Holy Land and wasn’t very worldly. Anyone capable of shattering the Holy Land’s countless years of peace couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’What if they’re ferocious and cruel?’

Jingyue nodded. "We’ll go in teams of two. We’ll split into three teams and head down. I’ll team up with Little Grievance."

No one objected. The Saintess was injured, and Su Qi was the strongest among them here, so it was only natural for those two to be a team.

Qing Lian said, "Then I’ll team up with Xiaoxiao."

The teams were quickly decided.

Then they began heading to the lower levels, the three teams going to three different floors.

Qing Lian’s team went to find the edge of the expanded area, while the others searched from the top down.

On the way, Su Qi asked Jingyue, "Senior Sister, are you sure about this? Two teams would actually be safer."

Jingyue shook her head. "It shouldn’t be a big problem. Qing Lian’s Cultivation is quite high; she’s more than enough to protect Xiaoxiao.

Xueyu and Yiruo grew up together. Their Cultivation isn’t lacking, and they complement each other.

That’s why teams of two are better than teams of three."

Su Qi nodded. "I’m still a little worried, though. Yiruo and Xueyu have complementary personalities and Cultivation Techniques, so they should be fine. But Qing Lian and Xiaoxiao... they have a major weakness."

Jingyue said, "Is their weakness any greater than mine? I’m basically useless right now. You should be worrying about us.

If you’re not careful, you might get yourself killed. Then your husband will go off and marry some other beauty."

"No way! I wouldn’t let him off the hook even as a ghost! This life, the next life, and the life after that, he can forget about marrying another woman. He can’t, even if I die. He just can’t," Su Qi huffed.

"You’re such a Little Grievance. You don’t love your husband at all if you have the heart to make him stay single forever."

"..."
