Chapter 160: Beyond Her Mission
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Envoys” such as Yun Qin went to the human world to deal with this portion of evil energy that was not affected by the divine axiom, allowing souls with strong wills to return to the cycle of reincarnation.
Only those who possessed the powers of life and death could cross over between the two realms.
However, their power was not limited to absorbing evil energy. For example, Yun Qin used it to break the soul-capturing array formation and save the hidden ghost elder.
Therefore, there would always be greedy and audacious people who set their eyes on this piece of juicy meat.
The book recorded that thousands of years ago, ordinary people discovered the existence of Hades’ envoys. Even though these envoys were powerful, they still had weaknesses, so some got their powers stolen. Their stolen power was then transformed into power that many mortals could not even imagine.
While the envoys were doing their best to maintain the balance between the human world and the underworld, another force appeared and broke this balance.
Typically, envoys like Yun Qin could stay alive for as long as they want, as long as they absorbed enough evil energy. However, countless envoys died one after another, which caused a huge mess.
When she flipped to the back of the book, many words were too blurry to read. Yun Qin pretty much flipped to the end of the book before she saw her name.
There was a small mark beside her name.
What did that mean?
Just as Yun Qin was trying to digest this piece of truth that revealed the secrets of the Heavens, a voice above her head suddenly said, “In the past, people who had your mission were born with a birthmark that was enough to prove their identity, but you are different. Do you know why?”
Yun Qin thought about it. She remembered that she had no birthmark on her body, so she shook her head in confusion.
“Your uniqueness makes it difficult for ‘them’ to find you. So, in addition to your mission, you have another task, to eliminate those who covet your power.”
“Of course, I will give you help. So, which reward do you want this time?”
..
The tree spirit did not expect that only one day after Yun Qin said, “I will bring her to see you next time ” that she would be back here.
“What, what, what’s wrong with her?”
The tree spirit shook its branches and looked at the unconscious Yun Qin in shock.
Fatty and Zhuang Sen were in even more shock. They rubbed their eyes while staring at the tree spirit, almost suspecting that they had lost their minds.
“Bro, am I seeing things? This tree can talk.”
Fatty said in disbelief, then shouted, “Damn, that hurts. Why are you pinching me?”
Zhuang Sen widened his eyes and retracted his hand. He mumbled, “I’ve never heard a zombie speak before either. This tree…”
Hu Min rolled her eyes at the two of them and replied, “I don’t know. She woke up for a few seconds earlier and asked me to bring her to you.”
“Oh, I see. I understand.”
The tree spirit realized that Yun Qin intended to bring the three of them to the hidden ghost tribe.
After pointing the way for the three of them, the tree spirit stared at Hu Min in a daze.
Hu Min and the human face on the tree trunk looked at each other for a few seconds before Hu Min asked unnaturally, “How much of Hu Luo’s memories do you have?”
The tree spirit was stunned for a moment before replying honestly, “Not many.”
So Hu min sighed and said, “I will avenge you.”
After the three of them left, the tree spirit was a little dispirited, staring at the distant figure in a daze.
Avenge her? What is that?
Hu Min and the others carried Yun Qin on their backs while they traveled to the small waterfall that the tree spirit pointed to. Along the way, they encountered the same treatment as Yun Qin. Every time they passed by, a tree would stick out a branch to show them the way.
Zhuang Sen was carrying Yun Qin on his back. He raised his head and shivered. “I have goosebumps. This is as scary as facing a zombie king.”
Because of the tree spirit, Hu Min was mentally prepared.. However, because of the animosity between her and Zhuang Sen, she snorted and said nothing.
