“This is the Netherworld.”
A cold wind blew in his ears. The Yin Qi gathered in some places formed a fog that he could not see far.
It was also Shen Ping’s first time entering the Netherworld. However, with his powerful true spirit, he quickly sensed that the Netherworld was very likely to be a two-sided world with the Yang world. One side was Yang, and the other was Yin. In this dark side, the spirit body could be nourished, and on the Yang side, the body could be improved.
“According to the records in the books of Changling Temple, the Netherworld is vast and is several times larger than the Yang Realm. Among them, the Netherworld was built by the deceased emperor of the Yang Realm’s imperial court. It controls the various nether divisions and has 100,000 ghost constables and soldiers. It’s the greatest power in the Netherworld. If any Yin soul wants to reincarnate, they have to pass through the Reincarnation Platform of the Underworld to wash away their memories of their previous life and transfer them to the Yang Realm to reconstruct their bodies. It’s relatively easy to find the Underworld. I just need the Soul Guiding Curse.”
He looked around and was not in a hurry to make the Soul Guiding Spell. Instead, he used his magic power to increase the aura of Yu’er and Ling’er. Then, he stayed where he was and waited.
If the Ghost General of Mount Futu really left a mark on them, he would definitely be able to sense it quickly. This was a very common method in the Netherworld. After all, in such a vast world, finding a ghost was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
They didn’t have to wait long. In the distance, the thick fog of Yin qi suddenly rolled. Immediately after, hundreds of ghost soldiers appeared in the fog. They carried the red sedan chair and arrived in front of Yu’er and Ling’er in the blink of an eye.
“My lord invites you. Ladies, get in the palanquin.”
The sound kept converging and echoing like a bell. Yu’er and Ling’er were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly hid behind Shen Ping. Shen Ping’s expression was indifferent. He pinched his hand and scattered a handful of talismans. This was a Soul Controlling Spell. It was specially used to control ghosts in the Netherworld. As long as one’s cultivation was more than 200 years lower than his, they would be controlled.
The strongest of these ghost soldiers was only a hundred years of cultivation. Facing the Soul Control Spell, they did not even have the slightest resistance.
“Alright, the two of you sit on it and follow me to meet the ghost general of Mount Futu.”
Yu’er and Ling’er could only brace themselves and sit in the bridal sedan.
The bridal sedan entered the fog and was immediately enveloped by an invisible force. In the next moment, it disappeared from the spot. When the ghost soldiers stopped, the flower bridge appeared in front of the gate of a Yin City.
“Which Daoist dares to use a Soul Control Talisman to control my ghost soldiers?!”
As the voice spread, a large amount of Yin Qi enveloped over and formed a dense arrow in front of the bridal sedan. It wanted to pierce through the bridal sedan, but when the arrow was a few centimeters away from the bridal sedan, it stopped strangely.
In the next moment, the curtain in front of the bridal sedan was lifted.
Shen Ping, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, walked down. The aura of a Perfected Lord spread out from his body, causing a large number of ghost soldiers in Yin City to tremble. Ghost General Luo Yi’s expression was solemn. “It’s actually a Perfected Lord. I wonder which faction you’re from. Why have you come to my Mount Futu?”
Different ghost generals had a huge difference in cultivation.
For example, Xi Lengyan, who was under Ghost King Tuoluo, had more than 2,000 years of cultivation, while Luo Yi only had a mere 600 years of cultivation. Even in the Yin Land, he was definitely not a match for the Perfected Lord.
“Is this Mount Futu?” Shen Ping did not answer the question and asked.
Luo Yi said proudly, “That’s right. This city belongs to Mount Futu. Didn’t you come today for those two women?”
It pointed to another bridal sedan chair.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Yes, the two of them have some relationship with me. Since you’re a ghost general of Mount Futu, you shouldn’t lack company. Why don’t you let them off on my account?”
Luo Yi hesitated for a moment and said frankly, “To be honest, I’m not asking for these two. They’re needed by a senior in my Mount Futu who has a thousand years of cultivation. They’re both born in the Yin month and day. If you want to take them away, you have to get the approval of that senior.” “What? You can’t make the decision?”
“That’s not true. It’s mainly because I don’t have a name.”
Shen Ping understood. He was asking for compensation. With a faint smile, he waved his long sleeve, and a Yin Pearl condensed by him flew in front of Ghost General Luo Yi. “This pearl contains the pure Yin-Yang vitality of 30 years of cultivation. It can save you dozens of years of cultivation. It’s more than enough to exchange for the lives of these two women.”
Luo Yi sensed carefully and saw that there was no problem, so he laughed. “Daoist priest, you’re straightforward. I’ll give you face today. Please go ahead.”
Shen Ping sat back in the bridal sedan. Soon, the two bridal sedans slowly disappeared.
On the city gate tower, Ghost General Luo Yi immediately asked his ghost soldiers to patrol the surroundings. After confirming that the other party had left, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although this was the territory of Mount Futu, it was still a little far from the core of Mount Futu. If they really fought, it would take five minutes for the core to provide support. He was not confident that he could last so long.
“Although the women born in the Yin month and day are relatively rare, they are nothing compared to this Yin Pearl. Hmph, that damn fellow knows how to send us, but he doesn’t give us any compensation. I won’t work for him for nothing.”
In front of the gates of Hell, Shen Ping stopped in his tracks. “Yu’er, Ling’er, after entering the gates of hell, you can reincarnate safely. I’ve already instructed the ghost guards who escorted you to take good care of you and try their best to let you join a good family.”
Yu’er and Ling’er were filled with gratitude.
“Thank you for your help, Daoist Priest. We don’t know how to repay you!”
“It’s nothing. Alright, go in quickly. Don’t let the reapers wait too long.”
The two women turned around and looked at Shen Ping, as if they wanted to remember his appearance. Then, they entered the gates of hell and disappeared. Only then did Shen Ping return to the cliff cave. It had only been ten minutes since he entered the Netherworld Yin Land and returned.
“Daoist priest, how are they?”
“Don’t worry, they’ve already reincarnated.”
When the scholar heard this, he felt a sense of loss and sighed. “Perhaps this is the best place for them. Forget it, I should go down the mountain and revise my homework. I’ll strive to get ranked on the annual gold rankings.
“Daoist priest, we’ll meet again if fate allows it.”
He cupped his hands and bowed before turning around to leave resolutely. As he looked at his figure, Shen Ping smiled. He knew that he would definitely meet this scholar again.
With a wave of his sleeve, he arrived in the Netherworld once more, and then he directly teleported through his extraordinary beast innate ability and appeared near the Yin City of Mount Futu. He used his True Spirit to conceal his aura, and he walked into the city and waited patiently.
A few days later, Ghost General Luo Yi finally set off for the headquarters of Mount Futu. The entire Mount Futu occupied a large area. Even Luo Yi, a ghost general, had to spend several hours rushing to the Mount Futu headquarters.
This headquarters was a place where Yin and Yang were connected. It was similar to the blessed land of the Daoist temples in the world. It could use special methods to instantly reach Mount Futu in the Yang Realm.
Relying on his true spirit senses, he searched the headquarters for a moment and found Xi Lengyan’s exact location. She was actually in a bedroom.
This surprised Shen Ping.
After arriving here, there was another ghost with a high cultivation in the room. She had a charming appearance and an enchanting figure. She sat beside Xi Lengyan and chatted with her.
“Youyue, don’t waste your time. Kill me.” Xi Lengyan said calmly.
Youyue, who was beside her, laughed, “I’m really curious about that person who made you give up your life so willingly. It’s not easy to get two thousand years of cultivation. Although the Blood Taisui is precious, I’ve always known your temper. You definitely won’t ruin yourself for such an external object.”
Xi Lengyan shook her head. “Don’t say anything else.”
Youyue didn’t mind, “With my Mount Futu’s strength, we’ll find out very quickly. Your last place was in Shanyang County, right? Only this place hasn’t been investigated.” She observed Xi Lengyan’s expression, but unfortunately, the other party did not react.
“I’ll say it again. As long as you’re willing, you’ll immediately become the number one Ghost General of my Mount Futu. You’ll also be my close friend.” After saying that, Youyue stood up and left. After Xi Lengyan confirmed that Youyue had really left, she walked to the window and sighed. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. “Long time no see, Miss Xi.”
