Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 639 - 618: Second Update

All the members of Qiandao Temple were watching this scene in horror, seemingly unable to believe that their master, who had resolved the two elders of Ghoul Ravine with a single move and whose methods were so... bizarre, was theirs.

Master Yu Sheng wanted to move, but found himself unable to. The use of Evil Arts was the most taboo thing at Qiandao Temple. But now, what was the master using, if not the Evil Arts?

"Young Master—quick—go..." Elder Can struggled to utter a few words, his jaw had already melted onto the ground, and his entire skull turned into a skeleton at a speed visible to the naked eye. The black viscous fluid on the ground became more and more abundant, and at the same time, along with the fluid, billows of black smoke kept pouring into the body of Master Huo Yi.

"Quick, get out—" Before he could think further, Ju Nanyi picked up Zheng Nianru and started to retreat.

"Let me go—" Zheng Nianru was unwilling to leave.

"Nobody can save you here; you’ll only distract him—" Ju Nanyi said quickly, "If the plan just now was his idea, then he must have a way to deal with it—"

On hearing this, Zheng Nianru gradually calmed down as well. Ju Nanyi’s words made sense, and moreover, she thought the same. She was well aware of the purpose behind Yin He pushing her back earlier.

Ju Nanyi quickly got her to safety, and there weren’t many of the Imperial Forest Guard left now. Without waiting for Ju Nanyi’s instructions, they immediately began to retreat rapidly with Nanny Yun and others.

The people of Qiandao Temple did not try to stop them, or rather, they had forgotten to do so, with only the image of their master consuming the black smoke in their eyes.

A strange and terrifying thought took hold of the disciples of Qiandao Temple, leaving them speechless. This scene seemed... somehow familiar...

There was something in the dungeon that suppressed their Spells, and even for Master Yu Sheng, his power recovery was less than two-fifths at this moment. But now, they felt that their master’s power was not only unrestricted, but it had also increased.

Master Yu Sheng was immediately ready to rush forward, and this time, Zong Yunqian did not stop him. Instead, he charged forward alongside him, the three forming a triangular formation and encircling Yin He in the middle.

No matter what the master had become, the first issue to address was the biggest threat from Ghoul Ravine.

Yin He sneered coldly, just standing there had exhausted all his strength, and his reason for doing so was merely to make Zheng Nianru think that he had a card up his sleeve to cope with the people of Qiandao Temple.

But the monster above him was his subsequent trump card and the only way out, yet it failed to intimidate the people of Qiandao Temple. Moreover, what surprised him even more was that on the surface, the people of Qiandao Temple all appeared as righteous individuals dedicated to the salvation of all sentient beings, but behind closed doors, they coveted the Spells in his hands.

And they had succeeded. Master Huo Yi had successfully absorbed the huge energy left by the monster, which even Yin He found astonishing. He didn’t dare to attempt it, preferring to leave behind half his life to escape rather than to do so.

So when had Master Huo Yi started practicing such "Evil Arts"? On the surface, they were called Evil Arts, but in secret, he had already mastered them to perfection. Yin He wanted to laugh; that very Master Huo Yi, who had earnestly advised him not to meddle with these things, the hypocrite with the halo of a savior, was just the same in the end.

Yin He moved his body slightly, facing Master Huo Yi directly. Just this minor action almost made him faint on the spot. Let alone Master Huo Yi, even a regular person, or even Zheng Nianru at this moment, could kill him.

But Yin He wasn’t frightened. For a moment, the warmth he had felt was enough to fend off the fear. He didn’t hold that much hatred towards Master Huo Yi after all, because if not for Huo Yi rescuing him from the Sword Tree Forest, he never would have crossed paths with Zheng Nianru.

Yin He just quietly watched, only thinking about stalling for as long as he could to ensure their safety. After all, whether the figure before him was still Master Huo Yi was debatable.

Yin He let out a cold laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Zong Yunqian asked nervously, his face pale. He also vaguely sensed something, and the laugh from Yin He instantly enraged him.

Yin He had no regard for the two of them and merely looked at Master Huo Yi in front of him, wanting to confirm whether the other still had his own consciousness before dying.

Back in the Sword Tree Forest, he had already realized that this monster would eventually devour your spiritual wisdom step by step, turning you into a puppet. If merged well, then both of you would share one body.

But Yin He was unwilling, and after meeting Zheng Nianru, even more so.

Master Huo Yi’s eyes alternated between pitch black and blue, standing rigidly in place, a stark contrast from his typical appearance of an ethereal and virtuous mage.

The disciples from Qiandao Temple couldn’t help but quietly gather together upon seeing this, but after all, he was their master, and no one left, watching the scene with worry and fear.

Master Yu Sheng watched the scene with concern, wanting to call out to his master several times, yet not daring to, for fear of startling him.

Finally, Master Huo Yi slowly turned around, his gaze focusing as he slowly looked at Yin He in front of him, and then took steps towards Yin He. Yin He’s smile slowly deepened from a faint smile to a full grin, turning pale yet splendid as Master Huo Yi approached.

The next moment, Master Huo Yi had reached Yin He, and the youth didn’t change his stance by even a fraction. In the next moment, Master Huo Yi picked up Yin He just as he had earlier with Elder Can and Elder Su, lifting him straight into the air.

Both Master Yu Sheng and Zong Yunqian breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, now their master was once again their master.

Suspended in mid-air, Yin He’s mind began to blur, and he had done all he could. He hadn’t been able to protect Nian Ru safely, but he had tried his best...

Zong Yunqian watched Master Huo Yi holding Yin He, foreseeing what was going to happen next. Yin He’s death was just a matter of time. However, what their master would do next was their main concern.

The next moment, Yin He’s head tilted to the side, and his faint breath seemed to disappear instantly. Master Yu Sheng hurried forward.

"Master—" There was no need to absorb the energy from the Evil Arts anymore since the person was dead...

Master Huo Yi ignored it, his gaze fixed on Yin He in his hands, but gradually, Zong Yunqian noticed that it was taking too long. Compared with earlier with Elder Can and Elder Su, Yin He wasn’t turning into a pool of black water, nor was there any sign of it.

Master Huo Yi also seemed to realize this, and to everyone’s surprise, he suddenly let out a great roar, looking as if he had gone completely insane, just like the disciples from Ghoul Ravine.

The next moment, his other hand shot towards Yin He, and black smoke billowed from his body, swirling into the air and rolling towards Yin He.

Just then, a sudden violent wind arose; trees were uprooted and, carried by this gust, hurtled directly towards the people in the center of the fray.
