Chapter 901 Nie Xiaoqian

The female ghost had a head of beautiful black hair cascading like a waterfall, with delicate willow-like eyebrows, captivating eyes, a graceful nose, and slightly red cheeks.

She stood there charmingly.

Like an Immortal Fairy gracing the Mortal World, even Ding Ling couldn’t help but be dazzled, secretly admiring, “What a dazzling beauty, one capable of causing fish to sink and swans to fall!”

Most peculiarly, this female ghost actually looked almost identical to Fu Qingfeng!

If it weren’t for the distinct difference in their temperaments and the gloominess in their brows and eyes.

Even Ding Ling would find it hard to distinguish which one was Fu Qingfeng.

“Nie Xiaoqian?”

Ding Ling’s mind turned, and he immediately knew who the leading female ghost was.

“Who are you?”

The leading female ghost was indeed Nie Xiaoqian. She looked at Ding Ling, somewhat nervous:

“How could you come from the surface to this underground palace?! Do you know the Earth Escape Skill?! No, Granny has cast spells on this entire area, ordinary Earth Escape Skills can’t be used here. How did you get down?!”

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Behind her, the female ghost Little Qing, who did not get along with Nie Xiaoqian, was now facing Ding Ling and couldn’t help but remember Ding Ling’s strength, feeling both shocked and terrified, trembling as she whispered:

“He is the one I told you about, the powerful one who killed eight master break-through experts in an instant!”

“It’s you!”

Nie Xiaoqian and her companions were greatly shocked.

“Since you know it’s me, then move aside quickly.”

Ding Ling, Shrinking Inches, instantly appeared in front of Nie Xiaoqian and her companions, overlooking them:

“For Ning Caichen’s sake, Nie Xiaoqian, I’ll spare your life.”

He was expressionless, his voice intimidating!

Incredibly intimidating!

Without even demonstrating the Sword Control Skill, just the inscrutable aura and the faintly emanating Vast Righteous Qi and Buddha Qi suffused Nie Xiaoqian and the other two women’s faces to turn pale, their bodies stiff. Upon hearing Ding Ling wouldn’t kill them, Little Qing was overjoyed, hurriedly kneeling to thank Ding Ling.

At this moment.

She couldn’t help but secretly feel fortunate that she hadn’t chosen to harm Nie Xiaoqian during this time, otherwise, she would be doomed today!

“Thank you, Hero!”

Nie Xiaoqian also hurriedly knelt to thank him.

She didn’t want to die either.

If not.

She wouldn’t have been compelled by the Tree Demon Granny’s intimidation and coercion to harm people like Xiahou Swordman.

A truly kind female ghost wouldn’t be coerced by the Tree Demon Granny, and such ghosts often meet tragic ends.

Ding Ling opened his Celestial Eye and his Spiritual Eye gleamed brightly, perceiving everything clearly. He didn’t expose Nie Xiaoqian but directly passed through the second palace, stepping into the third.

Towards Nie Xiaoqian.

Ding Ling held neither good nor bad feelings, as they hadn’t had deep interactions; his understanding of her was merely based on movies and novels.

Swoosh!

Ding Ling, employing Shrinking Inches, quickly arrived deep within the third palace, observing a throne.

This throne hung suspended in mid-air.

Beneath it lay piled various skeletal remains.

Some were human, others belonged to minor demons.

The Tree Demon Granny placed a throne here, revealing her ambitions to the world!

Ding Ling glanced around.

He didn’t see the Tree Demon Granny.

Without further thought, he pointed his fingers like a sword, deploying the Sword Control Skill!

Dragon Roar Nine Heavens!

Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root!

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Amidst the resonating clangs, the Xuanyuan Sword was unsheathed!

The sword transformed into thousands, each sword shooting out with dazzling golden light!

Clang!

Swords quickly formed into a sword circle!

Tens of thousands of swords formed hundreds of circles, nearly filling the entire underground palace!

“Go!”

Ding Ling pointed in all directions.

The circles spun like rolling Wind Wheels, clanging as they rotated in all directions!

This was a technique of the Sword Control Skill at full level, something even Yanz Chixia couldn’t achieve since his was not maxed out!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

Where the sword wheels went, everything shattered!

As one of the wheels headed towards the throne, attempting to crush it, a faint figure suddenly appeared, none other than the spirit of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon.

She looked at Ding Ling with horror and terror, screaming:

“Hero Ding, spare the living when possible! Why must you be so relentless?!”

Ding Ling ignored her.

The speed of the sword wheel did not decrease!

With a loud crash, the throne was shattered.

The Thousand-Year Tree Demon’s spirit dimmed, like a flickering candle in the wind, threatening to vanish at any moment, she was terrified, her spirit trembling, kneeling to Ding Ling, repeatedly kowtowing:

“Hero Ding, if you spare my life, I’ll offer you everything.”

She pointed outside:

“You’ve seen Nie Xiaoqian and the others. Each one is young and beautiful, unrivaled in beauty, I’m willing to offer them to you, Hero! And also…”

She pointed to a vein of ores revealed after the throne shattered:

“You’ve seen it. This is a Gold Mountain! I’m willing to offer it to you as well!”

“Hehe.”

Ding Ling raised an eyebrow, momentarily pausing his lethal move, and said:

“Tree Demon. Don’t you find your words and actions foolish and laughable? Even if I kill you, I can still have these!”

And at that moment.

Ding Ling thought of something.

The power of the Sword Realm in this world is limited.

If the Tree Demon Granny is killed, it may leave only a fraction of the memories.

Thus, many secrets could be difficult to uncover.

Given this, it might be better to interrogate clearly first and then proceed with killing.

“Hero. There is one more great treasure, known only to me and no one else.”

The Tree Demon Granny gritted her teeth and finally said:

“If you are willing to spare me, I am willing to offer this great treasure.”

Ding Ling remained noncommittal, turning to ask about the Black Mountain Demon.

The Tree Demon Granny, seeing this, wasn’t frightened but pleased, cooperatively exposing all details of the Black Mountain Demon.

It can be said.

The Black Mountain Demon was utterly betrayed by her.

Of course.

The Tree Demon Granny was also very cunning, repeatedly emphasizing in her explanation that ‘she was the most important general under the Black Mountain Demon’! ‘All arrangements made by the Black Mountain Demon in the Mortal World, such as marriage tasks, were completed by her’!

The meaning was clear.

Hope that mercy may be shown in light of the Black Mountain Demon’s greatness!

“Is that all?”

Ding Ling asked.

“I’ve told Hero everything I know.”

The Tree Demon Granny cautiously, anxiously looked at Ding Ling:

“Hero, you see? Could you spare me?”

“Hehe.”

Ding Ling chuckled, waved a hand.

Clang!

The sword wheel rolled down, instantly obliterating all the roots in this domain.

The Tree Demon Granny’s spirit was severely damaged.

A cry of anguish.

Like a substance doused in massive quantities of sulfuric acid, beginning to dissolve rapidly.

She looked at Ding Ling with fear and venom, screamed, cursed:

“Ding Ling, you don’t keep your word! Ah~~~ I, Granny, curse you to die miserably, curse you to the eighteen levels of hell, never to reincarnate, I curse you…”

“Noisy!”

Ding Ling smacked her with a palm.

Slap!

The already remnant spirit of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon was instantly destroyed.
