Book 8 Chapter 18 - The Underworld
The headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, in the mansion of Ji Lingyun.
Ji Lingyun was meeting with Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan who had just been invited by a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Senior Sword Patriarch, what is the important matter that makes you visit us today?”
While ordering people to serve tea to Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, she asked with some carelessness:
“Where is Jinyao? Didn’t she become your follower? Why didn’t she come back with you?”
“Part of the reason I am here is for this.”
Bai Qiuran picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea taste of the Heavenly Demon Sect was very ordinary, probably because the disciples in the sect were more addicted to alcohol, and were not very concerned about this aspect.
“Girl Li is in a closed-door cultivation in Japan, she won’t be back for the time being.”
“Damn, here we go again.”
Ji Lingyun muttered:
“Ah, forget it, anyway, she’s old enough, I can’t control her anymore.”
“You agree?”
""
Bai Qiuran was a little surprised.
“What else can I do if I don’t agree? Go to Fusang and call her back? When she is back to the sect this time, I guess that I won’t be her opponent anymore.”
Ji Lingyun sighed:
“That girl won’t be soft to me. In the past, I also never be soft to my master.”
“It deserves to be the Demon Sect with the longest heritage.”
Bai Qiuran admired:
“The custom of going against the master is truly your heritage.”
“Whose fault do you think Jin Yao is so disobedient?”
Ji Lingyun gave Bai Qiuran an annoyed look.
“I shouldn’t have let her meet you in the first place.”
“What does it have anything to do with me?”
Bai Qiuran couldn’t figure it out.
Seeing him like this, Ji Lingyun shook his head, turned to look at Jiang Lan, and asked:
“So... Sword Patriarch, who is this girl?”
“Oh, this is my wife, Jiang Lan.”
Bai Qiuran introduced.
“What? Wife?”
Ji Lingyun wanted to have an attack at the time, but she was halfway out of the sheath with her double knives. Seeing Bai Qiuran’s face, she suddenly realized that she should not be able to beat him.
As a result, her face changed, and she could only retract the double knives into the sheath.
“Bastard, do you have any conscience?”
She yelled at Bai Qiuran.
“Oh, what happened to me?”
Bai Qiuran’s face became even more confused.
“Forget it.”
Ji Lingyun sighed:
“The girl loves what she likes, I can’t help her... Sword Patriarch, why do you come here? If there is nothing to do, then this Ji Lingyun will send off the guests.”
She seemed to be in a bad mood, but Bai Qiuran did have one important thing to come here.
“Sect Master Ji, I heard that Huangfu Feng has returned from the crusade against monsters.”
Bai Qiuran asked her:
“Is there any corpse of the monster left?”
“Yes.”
Ji Lingyun held back her anger and replied:
“Master brought it back to the sect, and the disciples in the sect are studying its body structure.”
“Can you let me have a view?”
Ji Lingyun did not speak, but only summoned a disciple and asked him to bring Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan to the place where the corpse was.
The body of the monster was huge, piled on a small platform inside the sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect, sitting and lying against the mountain wall, looking like a hill.
It has blue-faced fangs, three heads, and six arms, but with a trace of majesty, its upper body is naked, and it holds a pair of sun and moon wheels in its two arms.
Several disciples of the Sky Demon Sect were standing by, measuring various data on the corpse. Huang Fufeng also stood aside. Seeing Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan coming, he also came over and greeted them.
“Yo, Senior Sword Ancestor, when did you come? Who is this girl?”
“My wife.”
Bai Qiuran replied.
“Oh.”
Huangfu Feng was a little surprised, but his thinking was similar to Bai Qiuran in some respects, so he just met Jiang Lan and didn’t make a fuss like Ji Lingyun and You Meiqiao.
“Is this the monster you killed?”
Bai Qiuran looked at the corpse and asked.
“Yup.”
Speaking of this, Huang Fufeng showed a refreshing smile.
“Don’t look at it, this monster is quite strong, and it also has some very special magical powers. I also spent a lot of effort killing it... But I don’t know where this monster came from. I have never seen this type in Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”
“Because it doesn’t belong to Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”
The Wise Immortal on Bai Qiuran’s belt flew up and down, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and said:
“This is an Asura.”
“Okay.”
Bai Qiuran sighed:
“My worry has become real.”
“Uh.”
Huangfu Feng touched his head.
“Asura is... that Asura?”
“Yes, among the spell of your Heavenly Demon Sect, the essence of the demon gods you visualize is largely inspired by creatures like Asura.”
Wise Immortal turned around in the air, and then explained:
“This is a creature that lives in the subordinate world of the Underworld. It can be reincarnated from the human soul and is very combative.”
“Why do creatures from the Underworld come to our side?”
Huangfu Feng was puzzled.
“How do I know, I only know when I go to the Underworld.”
Wise Immortal fell back on Bai Qiuran’s belt, and Bai Qiuran said to Huangfu Feng:
“That’s it. Please inform the various sects of the Evil Alliance. By the way, the Righteous Alliance will also trouble you to inform. Recently, I am afraid that haunted incidents will continue to erupt in the ten places in Kyushu. Let them send their disciples to inspect and take more precautions. .”
“I know.”
Huangfu Feng nodded, then looked at Bai Qiuran who was going out with Jiang Lan, and asked:
“Where does Senior Sword Patriarch want to go?”
“We two went to the Yin Cao Underworld.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“You can’t let the order of life and death just go on like this. If they need it, I’ll help them.”
The two left the Heavenly Demon Sect, and then they were about to rush toward the Underworld.
The way to the Underworld was not difficult for the two of them. With Jiang Lan’s cultivation base and knowledge, even the former Wise Immortal Cave Mansion had a direct transmission method to the Underworld.
Not to mention Bai Qiuran, who once personally founded and shaped the Underworld itself.
The coordinate position of the Underworld in the void was still vivid to Bai Qiuran.
In order to avoid trouble, the two came to an uninhabited wilderness, and then Bai Qiuran drew out his sword, and the sword opened the gap in the space leading to the Underworld.
As soon as the crack opened, there were several ghosts howling and preparing to rush out. Bai Qiuran shot these ghosts away with a palm, and then took Jiang Lan and Wise Immortal across the crack and came to the Underworld more than 300,000 years later.
The sky was still so dim and gloomy, with a little red light, barely illuminating the earth. The place where the two of them were located happened to be on the beach of the Styx River. On this beach, countless ghosts were wandering.
There were certain rules made by Heaven here, which suppressed the ability of ghosts to fly and shuttle freely, so that they could only stay on this beach.
“There is no Soul Taker nearby.”
In the face of these manifest ghosts, Jiang Lan appeared calm and composed. She looked left and right, and said to Bai Qiuran:
“It stands to reason that there should be a few Soul Takers on this beach who are responsible for maintaining order, but now I haven’t seen them.”
Bai Qiuran also took a look, and then said:
“Let’s move forward first.”
