The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: The Ghost Gate Opens, A New Sealing Relic

After all, it was a refined swamp, and although they lost the ability to create malice, they still unconsciously followed their origin.

Only to see the swamp coalesce into a mass, quickly merging with Shu’e’s true form.

Perhaps due to the return of these powers, Shu’e, which was originally shapeless under the Five-Colored’s swirl, barely forced out its original human form.

He allowed himself to be dragged along by the Phoenix Flames of the Five-Colored, watching as the flame barrier transformed by the Phoenix Divine Soul blocked wave after wave of the Heavenly Thunder.

Shu’e watched quietly, a smile suddenly forming at the corner of his mouth,

"In the end... You still chose to die with me."

Clearly the Divine Soul had already been rescued, yet it stubbornly returned to entangle with him endlessly.

Phoenixes and such are, as expected, detestable.

The Five-Colored ignored his words, using all its power to resist the force of the Heavenly Thunder.

After all, it was a thousand-year-old Phoenix Divine Soul, and although weakened by Shu’e’s thousand-year-long devouring, the Heavenly Dao couldn’t bring him down with thunder in a short span of time.

Shu’e allowed him to stand before him, mocking once more,

"Give up, no one can stop what the Heavenly Dao wants to do."

Upon discovering the cooperation between the Otherworld Heavens and Scarlett Jennings, Shu’e realized that the Otherworld Heavens intended not just to use him to cleanse the Otherworld, but ultimately to have him erode the domain of the Ten-tailed.

It was already too late by the time he realized.

And now, even with the conspiracy exposed, the Otherworld Heavens wouldn’t abandon its plan.

Even as a Phoenix, the Five-Colored couldn’t resist the power of the Heavenly Dao.

He couldn’t even take him away from the Otherworld to the sealing ground.

Shu’e thought this and said it too.

The flames of the Five-Colored Divine Soul had already been half extinguished by the successive strikes of the Heavenly Dao, yet he still did not retreat. Hearing Shu’e’s sarcastic words, he simply replied in a low voice,

"Without absolute confidence, I wouldn’t easily let her lift the seal."

Almost as he finished speaking, in the domain, fighting the Otherworld Heavenly Dao borrowing Jasmine Hamilton’s body, Scarlett Jennings’ palm suddenly lit up with a spiritual light.

A familiar spiritual light, accompanied by a black token, slowly rising from her palm.

Both Scarlett Jennings and "Jasmine Hamilton" were stunned, and saw the token representing the Underworld Pass suddenly fly towards the domain’s exit where the Five-Colored was.

Upon exiting the domain, the token burst into a bright light.

The next moment, under the endless Heavenly Thunder, a gigantic Ghost Gate Pass suddenly opened.

The giant Ghost Gate Pass enveloped the Five-Colored desperately resisting the Heavenly Thunder, along with Shu’e behind him.

Also conveniently blocking the continuous descending thunder fire overhead.

Through the domain barrier, everyone saw a tall figure slowly emerging from the Ghost Gate.

Familiar traditional Tang suit, long hair, and facial features so exquisite it was hard to distinguish male from female, walking slowly towards the Five-Colored.

His gaze fell on Shu’e, struggling to reform behind, as a complicated emotion flickered in Ivan’s eyes. After a long moment, he quietly spoke,

"As per our agreement, the nineteenth level of the Underworld has been cleared out. You can bring him into the Underworld at any time."

Looking at Shu’e’s gloomy face due to Ivan’s appearance, the corner of the Five-Colored’s mouth finally curved into a smile,

"Today, I send Shu’e, formed by the hundred thousand malicious thoughts that escaped from the Underworld back then, back to the Underworld."

In this way, the karmic debt incurred by the former Lord Yama six thousand years ago could finally be repaid today.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Five-Colored’s figure instantly transformed into a fire-colored Phoenix, sweeping behind him the unable-to-resist Shu’e, and charged into the Ghost Gate.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao intended to stop them, sending the Heavenly Thunder bypassing the Ghost Gate Pass towards the Five-Colored and Shu’e behind him.

Ivan’s eyes briefly scanned, and he lifted his hand in a wave.

The Heavenly Thunder was neatly blocked outside the Ghost Gate.

Ivan raised his eyes, seemingly looking towards the Otherworld Heavenly Dao through the domain barrier, simply stating,

Ivan hadn’t planned to confront the Heavenly Dao directly; Zaraiah’s presence here signified that the Five-Colored and Shu’e had already successfully reached the nineteenth level.

Therefore, he replied for once in alignment with the man’s words, "Understood."

With that said, he turned to re-enter the Ghost Gate.

But was halted by Scarlett Jennings’ shout, "Ivan, stop!"

Ivan’s steps paused briefly but he did not turn back. Scarlett Jennings asked in a slightly cold voice, "What about the Five-Colored and Shu’e?"

Back facing her, Ivan spread his arms wide, "As you can see, they have entered the Underworld."

He continued, "Shu’e was created by the union of the hundred thousand malicious thoughts that escaped from the Underworld. Back then, I let them go, and now, naturally, I must bring him back to the Underworld to be suppressed."

For not even the Underworld’s seal on malicious thoughts could be eroded by Shu’e’s evil intentions.

This was the final sealing ground that the Five-Colored found for Shu’e.

Upon seeing Ivan appear, Scarlett Jennings knew he must have reached an understanding with the Five-Colored.

Ivan was determined to return the hundred thousand malicious thoughts represented by Shu’e back to the Underworld for suppression; the Five-Colored was now sending him back.

But... she sensed it wasn’t that simple.

If merely returning to the Underworld could suppress Shu’e, it wouldn’t have roamed the world for six thousand years.

Ivan... was hiding something from her.

"Merely sending him back to the Underworld will suppress Shu’e again?" Scarlett Jennings stared intently at his back, calling out, "Ivan, don’t lie to me."

Ivan, who had been turned away from her, sighed gently, finally turning to face her.

The person before him was always so perceptive.

He looked at her sincerely saying, "Just sending him back won’t suppress him again... The artifact used to suppress the hundred thousand malicious thoughts back then was destroyed. Now, to suppress Shu’e again, a new artifact is needed."

He continued, "The Phoenix Divine Soul is that artifact."
