Chapter 172 Leaving the Netherworld
Chapter 172 Leaving the Netherworld
When I left the First Prefecture and headed for the Ninth Prefecture, I was still a little uneasy. But now, returning to the First Prefecture from the Ninth Prefecture, I actually felt relaxed.
As soon as Ji Qian and Su Feng showed up in front of Yama Palace, Xuanhua Zhenren appeared and said with a smile, "You're back earlier than I thought." While speaking, he brought the two of them to the side hall of the Palace. It seemed that he had been in the Palace all these days.
King Yama was still sitting by the window as he did before, with his brows slightly furrowed, but his expression was not as sad as before, and he even seemed to be in a good mood.
Xuanhua Zhenren naturally sat down next to King Yanluo and said, "I felt a change in the aura a few days ago. I think it's you two."
Su Feng bowed and said, "My master and I encountered a few ghost cultivators. We had no choice but to fight them."
When he said this, he actually looked quite proud.
Xuanhua Zhenren said with a smile: "It seems that our Luofu Xianjian Sect has to do it again." He then asked: "Has the matter of Zuo Sheng Emperor come to any conclusion?"
Ji Qian bowed and said, "I'm afraid that Zuo Sheng Emperor is in my consciousness."
After these words were spoken, even figures like Xuanhua Zhenren and King Yama were temporarily speechless.
What does it mean that Emperor Zuo Sheng is in his consciousness?
It's a bit too far-fetched.
Su Feng looked at Ji Qian with some surprise in his eyes, but when he thought carefully about how Emperor Zuo Sheng suddenly appeared and dealt with the two ghost cultivators, he nodded and thought, so that's how it is.
King Yama asked, "What does this mean?"
How could a ghost immortal enter the consciousness of this mere cultivator who had only suffered three tribulations?
Ji Qian said: "I got the Yama Dharma Robe in a small world. When I was in the Holy Palace, the Yama Dharma Robe appeared, and it was the Zuo Sheng Emperor."
Zhenren Xuanhua and King Yanluo thought about it for a moment. It was heard that before Emperor Zuo Sheng came to the Netherworld, he had practiced under the seat of a true immortal who practiced the way of life and death. It seemed that Emperor Zuo Sheng was the magic weapon of this true immortal. They just didn't know why he came to the Netherworld.
Xuanhua Zhenren said: "This is very wonderful, but it is also your opportunity."
Ji Qian nodded slightly and said, "It was really a fluke."
Su Feng asked, "I have a question. Emperor Zuo Sheng followed Master and left. What will happen to the Ninth Prefecture in the future?"
King Yama thought for a moment and said, "When you come to the Netherworld again, you can appoint another ghost fairy as the lord of the palace."
This was said lightly, as if he didn't take these things seriously at all.
Xuanhua Zhenren also laughed and said, "Wait until the two of you are three years old, and then you can establish a lord of the mansion, and that won't be a problem."
Ji Qian asked: "After three declines, is it possible that the cultivation level of the ghost immortals in the Netherworld is higher?"
Xuanhua Zhenren explained: "The cultivation level of the orthodox great way has always been higher than that of the cultivators who practice other methods."
It turned out to be the case.
Ji Qian and Su Feng had known about this before, but they did not expect that a Three Decay cultivator from the orthodox path could already be on par with the Ghost Immortal. They were really surprised.
Xuanhua Zhenren asked again: "Now that you have gained something, what are your plans?"
Ji Qian and Su Feng looked at each other and smiled. Su Feng bowed and said, "I beg you, Immortal and Emperor, to send us back to Luofu Xianjian Sect."
Xuanhua Zhenren smiled and said, "It's true that I have been here for a long time. It's time to go back."
The emperor looked at Master Xuanhua and asked, "Are we leaving immediately?"
Ji Qian bowed and said, "Let's set off immediately."
King Yan Luo nodded slightly, and a deep black iron door appeared silently. The iron door slowly opened, and King Yan Luo said, "Come in, I will take you back."
In fact, he was very reluctant to part with Xuanhua. He was afraid that he would not see him again for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Xuanhua Zhenren said: "You two go first, I have something to tell you."
Ji Qian and Su Feng did not ask any further questions, but just bowed and then entered the iron gate together and immediately disappeared.
Xuanhua Zhenren arranged the robes for King Yanluo and said, "I am leaving."
There was still no extra expression on his face, only some reluctance in his eyes: "When you want to leave the Netherworld, I will come to pick you up."
Although King Yama was smiling, he was already filled with melancholy. He nodded slightly without saying a word. He just pushed Xuanhua into the iron gate, and Xuanhua immediately disappeared into the iron gate.
The iron gate slowly disappeared, and King Yama was sitting in front of the window. He seemed to be leaning on the windowsill alone, feeling infinitely melancholy, just like before.
In Taiyi World, in the human world, in an abandoned palace.
A little girl of about four or five years old was groping in this large and somewhat scary abandoned palace. The place was full of spider webs and the dust was several inches thick. The golden statues on the altars were all toppled over and broken, and there was almost no place to step.
Qin Yue crawled under the altar with one leg broken off. She searched carefully, her gray little hands groping on the ground inch by inch, trying to find some valuable things here that she could take out and sell to exchange for a few copper coins to buy a prescription.
A thunderclap suddenly exploded, frightening Qin Yue so much that she quickly crawled out from under the altar. She covered her ears, trembling as she looked at the mural, and cried softly, "Grandpa, please don't hit me..."
It turns out that the Qin State was destroyed three hundred years ago because of the incompetence of its emperor. Now the world has changed its name to Han. Qin Yue is a descendant of the King of Qin. She still lives in the abandoned Qin Palace, but she no longer worships the Hall of Heroes.
Qin Yue buried his head and recited silently. Only after the thunder stopped did he dare to look up at the mural. Hundreds of years had passed, but the mural was still vivid, which made Qin Yue feel panicked.
She gained nothing today, so she wiped her eyes silently and prepared to go back to the shabby house where her father was.
A flash of lightning flashed by, and Qin Yue shivered with fear.
"Little girl, it's dark now. Why are you here alone?" a gentle voice asked.
