Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 630 - 609: One More Update

"We should leave now—" Ju Nanyi finally found the opportunity, pushed forward, grabbed Zheng Nianru, and wanted to leave while the people from Ghoul Ravine were fighting that creature.

Elder Can grabbed Ju Nanyi, stopping him from getting any closer without explanation.

"We can’t get out, look at these trees—" Elder Can wasn’t just talking nonsense, pointing at the circle of trees and grass around them that had turned to ash, "This creature doesn’t want to let us go—"

Ju Nanyi did not fully believe Elder Can’s words, but he did not break away either. Elder Can and Elder Su were still anxiously watching the chaotic scene in the middle of the field.

Ju Nanyi glanced at Zheng Nianru, who was sitting in the middle surrounded by Nanny Yun and others. Although frightened, she was unharmed; Yin He had rushed forward a moment before the creature attacked, blocking its assault.

He now realized that the creature seemed to target everyone, not just Yin He and the people of Ghoul Ravine. Thus, a few of his men had already been injured.

"My lady, are you alright—" Nanny Yun asked anxiously, How did it turn out this way, this creature... Is this creature from Ghoul Ravine?

Xing Yu had seen Ghost Shadow before, but now the thing in the darkness seemed somewhat different. But wasn’t Ghost Shadow supposed to be from Ghoul Ravine?

At this moment, Elder Can and Elder Su stood in front of Zheng Nianru and the others, not daring to be distracted, observing their Young Master who had now developed a murderous intent, and finally, they could ease their minds a bit.

This creature must not be left alive, Elder Can thought. Even if he couldn’t figure out exactly what this monster was, he knew clearly that with this creature around, it would be the end of Ghoul Ravine, and how would they explain it to the Ravine Master then!

Elder Can made up his mind for a kill; seeing that the Young Master had already shown a killing intent, he naturally could not really put Zheng Nianru in great danger. More disciples of Ghoul Ravine were intently watching the ongoing fight. To them, it was a fight, but to others, the young man’s movements were incredibly fast, emitting clouds of black smoke each time he moved, engulfing both the black creature and himself in darkness, with only the young man’s silvery-grey figure occasionally leaping from the black smoke.

The disciples of Ghoul Ravine, however, were very excited. They didn’t watch the movements so much as they felt the fluctuations of dark energy in the air, which told them just how powerful their Young Master was, instantly overpowering the creature, something completely different from how they had been dominated by it previously.

The dark force of Yin He seemed chaotic, and with the young man’s movements being much faster than those of ordinary people, this dark force was like an invisible net, firmly trapping the black creature within it.

Their Young Master was dominating the atmosphere.

But to Ju Nanyi and others, it made no sense; the young man’s actions seemed peculiar, and so far, not one of his moves had actually hit the creature, nor had the creature shown any sign of damage.

Xing Yu was constantly paying attention to the situation on this side, her eyebrows slightly furrowed when she suddenly tugged at Ju Nanyi standing right beside her. Ju Nanyi turned his head in response.

"Lord Ju, don’t you feel there’s something off about him and this creature?" Xing Yu suddenly spoke softly, her eyebrows furrowing. She didn’t understand these things, but she felt something, what puzzled her even more was, clearly Yin He had a chance to kill this black creature more quickly, so why expend so much energy to instead trap it?

Ju Nanyi didn’t answer Xing Yu, but her words indeed raised an alert in him. He had noticed something was off with Elder Can and Elder Su earlier, but he hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Young Master Yin He.

But Ju Nanyi believed in Xing Yu because Xing Yu herself possessed a special strength. In the memories of his past life, Xing Yu had saved Zheng Nianru from peril multiple times. He only knew that Xing Yu had a very unique background; she was an orphan picked up by Prince Duan’s mysterious force after a certain mission, raised from a young age, and her uniqueness slowly discovered. That is why Prince Duan had sent her to Zheng Nianru’s side when she was just a child.

Latterly, Ju Nanyi had come into contact with Qiandao Temple and had also heard Master Huo Yi mention a thing or two. Xing Yu’s origins were likely related to an evil cult that had existed in Nanmen State but had last vanished after appearing in the Sword Tree Forest, never to be seen again.

"What do you find strange?" Ju Nanyi tried to appear not so eager as he asked encouragingly.

Indeed, Xing Yu blinked slightly, seemingly considering, and then uncertainly wondered if she was overthinking, but she still spoke up.

"Young Master Yin He clearly could have..." directly killed that monster, "but he seemed reluctant to kill the monster." Xing Yu quickly added, "Lord Ju, it’s just this servant’s wild thoughts."

"Yes, I know—" Ju Nanyi said this, but felt that this wasn’t the answer he wanted, yet why was that?

This monster was part of Master Huo Yi’s plan to annihilate the Disciples of Ghoul Ravine. If what Xing Yu said was true, then was this monster related to the Ghoul Ravine?

The situation on the field gradually became clear, and even those unfamiliar with spells could now see that the monster seemed trapped by something, struggling even to move.

The next moment, the monster seemed unwilling to continue fighting, letting out continuous low whines that varied in pitch, as if speaking in a language that no one could understand.

The monster was indeed speaking; the whining was just the form heard by outsiders, while the communication between the monster and Yin He had long surpassed such a stage. Even after so many years, the boy still understood the monster’s pleas for mercy.

"Why do you want to kill me? Why?"

Yin He coldly, uninterested in explaining, saw that the reality was already clear. Keeping the monster was troublesome, yet, when it came time to kill, the boy hesitated. Why the reluctance, he himself could not clearly say.

"Spare me, please spare me—" the monster continually pleaded, "Don’t kill me, it was I who saved you. We lived together for so long; I never thought of harming you—"

The boy slightly moved.

"If I let you go, will you leave?" After all, the connection they once had was now impossible, and today’s spells were not suitable. If it would not bother him anymore, Yin He was indeed willing to spare the monster’s life.

The monster stepped toward Yin He, Elder Su and Elder Can startled, wondering why it had stopped. Why was the monster walking toward them, yet they could not decipher if it was Young Master who let the monster approach, or something else.

Because Yin He remained motionless, letting the monster approach step by step.
