Chapter 1961 - Unregulated zone

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Yan Ya knew that since Sima You Yue had saved them, he had no need to worry what she would do once they had recovered. That was because she was not afraid of them at all. Even if he wanted to do something, Wu Lingyu and Huan, who were by her side, was able to defeat them. Much less needed to be said about the numerous ancient battle souls in her Hundred Ghost Banner.

The ancient battle souls were so powerful that any few of them were enough to give them a real headache.

“We’re out. I wonder how Cousin Wan Wan and the others are doing.” Sima You Yue was worried about Yu Wan Wan. she didn’t know whether she managed to leave this little realm before the space collapsed.

“They should be fine.” Wu Lingyu comforted her, “Based on their distance, they should be able to return in a few days. If the space was unstable, they would have known to come out of there.”

The outside of the little realm’s entrance was the most unstable place. As long as they were able to come out from there, they would be fine.

“I hope that’s the case. Otherwise, once we manage to rescue Mother, I wouldn’t know how to explain what happened.” Sima You Yue sighed.

“Did you really store Xie Hun into the Hundred Ghost Banner?” Yan Ya asked.

“That’s right. I did what I said.” Sima You Yue siad, “I’ll let that Xiao He do his best to cause trouble for my Elder Cousin.”

“Cousin? Di Zhe?” Yan Ya’s eyebrows furrowed.

She wanted to store Xie Hun for this reason?

“Ever since I got to the Imperial Capital, Cousin has been very busy. Yan Ya and Qing Hun have been restless and have been settling all sorts of issues over at the border. Hmph, so what if it’s Xie Hun?” Sima You Yue huffed.

“I didn’t think that the Death God, Di Zhe, would have a protective Little Sister like you.” Yan Ya said ruefully, “It’s no wonder he pampers you so much.”

He was still rather suspicious when he obtained this piece of news. Di Zhe was someone who would kill even the grandsons of his enemies, but he pampered Sima You Yue to such an extent. Earlier, he thought that it was because she was Yu Ke Luo’s daughter. Thinking about it now, it might have been possible when they first met, but right now, the reason he pampered her so much was because she was who she was.

“Although I don’t have a strong opinion towards the Soul Clan or Ghost Clan, the elders of the Soul Clan are always restless. If they come to cause trouble, it will be difficult.” Sima You Yue said.

Based on her current state, she could only be considered to be on the side of the Soul Clan. However, her identity belonged here, those who knew that she had a soul body still did not treat her as one from the Soul Clan.

When Yan Ya and Fei Yi heard her explanation, they were even more impressed by her.

“I wonder where we’ve fallen. Fei Yi, can you figure it out?” Yan Ya asked.

“I can’t.” Fei Yi shook his head.

Yan Ya wanted to get him to calculate the distance based on the little realm and the outside, to determine where they were in the Ghost Realm. However, the spatial area between the little realm and the outside world was too different and he wasn’t clear on it either, so there was obviously no way for him to make his calculations.

“Fei Yi, they say that you’re the best Array Master in the Ghost Realm. Once you’re healed, let’s compare notes, how about it?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We can.” Fei Yi agreed, and to be precise, he was anticipating it quite a bit as well.

“That’s settled, then.” Sima You Yue lay in Wu Lingyu’s embrace. She felt really tired and wanted to sleep when she suddenly heard the loud sound of an earthquake.

“No way, right? Could it be that we’re about to encounter an earthquake right after escaping the crumbled space?” Sima You Yue cried out.

They were quite heavily injured right now. If they were to encounter an earthquake now, where were they supposed to hide?

“Boom- Boom-”

The sound got closer, and the earth shook even harder.

“It’s not an earthquake.” Wu Lingyu said, “But I’m afraid that it might be even more troublesome than an earthquake.”

Everyone looked towards the direction that he was looking in and saw some huge underworld apes. On the shoulders of the underworld apes sat two people. There were three women and five men, a total of eight people.

Sima You Yue did not have any reaction when she saw the underworld apes and people. However, Yan Ya and Fei Yi’s expressions were ugly.

“We actually landed up here. According to logic, this shouldn’t have happened. Could it be that the surrounding space also changed when the space we were in crumbled?” Fei Yi mumbled.

“It seems like it’ll be difficult for us to run today.” Yan Ya despaired as he fell directly to the ground.

“What’s wrong? Do you know where this place is?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Of course I do. Look at those underworld apes. There’s white fur on the necks of every single one of them. Only in an unregulated zone like this would white-necked apes appear.” Yan Ya said.

“Unregulated zone? Where is this place?” Sima You Yue asked.

“In the Ghost Realm, there is only one place. The Ghost Realm and Soul Region and even hell can’t care about this place, which is the common boundary of the three realms. However, the real reason is because of the people who live here.

“Are they very powerful?”

“The people here really are very powerful, but how can they overpower three realms? It’s because of their identities.”

Sima You Yue still didn’t get it, what did it have to do with their identities?

“The people who live here are those who once truly ruled the Ghost Realm, the ruling Ninth Underworld Clan, which is a rather highly ranked clan. However, this place has long lost its glory. What really restrains the three realms is the relationship these people have with the three realms. No matter which realm the person is from, the moment they try to plot against this place, the other two places will suppress them.”

“To say it simply, it used to be because the clan here was powerful, but it’s now because the three realms act as regulators for each other.” Sima You Yue said.

Places that intersected three areas would usually have these kinds of uninhabited places.

“Because this place is special, the average person cannot enter it. Those who come in on their own are usually caught and never allowed to leave. Even if your Grandfather, Qing Hun and the others wanted to come, they would only be able to come here after revealing their identities. Now that we’re here and have even been discovered, sigh…”

Yan Ya’s words revealed his helplessness. They were heavily injured right now, so if they were to fight with others, they would be completely unable to resist. Even if they managed to escape later on, in a place like this, they wouldn’t be able to survive for long.

Those white-necked apes headed towards them, showing that they had already discovered them.

“If it’s really like what you said, we have no choice but to act according to the circumstances.” Sima You Yue did not fall into despair like they did. Based on what she sensed earlier on, her spirit pagoda was still functioning well. Mo Yu and Black Shadow were still in there, along with all of her beasts.

“I heard that the white-necked ape is very arrogant and isn’t willing to serve humans but these people actually have so many of these white-necked apes. I wonder which clan they’re from.” Fei Yi wondered.

If the ones who came were good people, that would be better. If they were strong and unreasonable, then they were in trouble.

“We’ll know once they reach here.” Sima You Yue said, “I say, if we have to fight and I save you again, I would have saved your lives twice!”

Fei Yi and Yan Ya were silent. They saw the smile in her eyes, which told them that this favour that they owed her would be difficult to repay.

Very quickly, the white-necked apes brought their people over.

“These people don’t have the auras of this place at all.. They’re trespassers. Based on our rules, we should kill them all immediately!”
