Chapter 1113

Gu Chen did not care about what the Heavenly Generals thought. When he heard that the souls of all the cultivators in the Underworld had been taken away by the Outer Realm genius, his heart skipped a beat.

"What's going on with the black jade bottle? Are the souls it took alive or dead?"

The old man hurriedly replied, "That black jade bottle is Master's treasure. Master calls it the Soul Refining Bottle. This lowly one only knows that the Soul Refining Bottle is extremely powerful, and no soul can escape from it.

"As for whether the souls in the bottle are alive or dead, Master doesn't say, and this lowly one doesn't dare to ask."

After hearing this, Gu Chen's eyebrows relaxed slightly. If the Ghost Emperor's soul had also been taken into the Soul Refining Bottle, then perhaps he was not dead!

Not only him, but everyone else in the Underworld was the same. Perhaps there was still a chance!

"What else do you know? Tell me everything!"

"Master is nurturing a corpse army in Fengdu. He said that he wants to conquer 67 star fields.

"Other than this lowly one, Master has five servants. The others are responsible for helping Master collect … collect souls."

"How do they collect them?"

"They are responsible for going to various life planets and cultivation sects to carry out massacres. When the living beings die and turn into vengeful spirits, they will be taken away with a replica of the Soul Refining Bottle and brought back to Fengdu."

The more the old man spoke, the more afraid he became. He knew very well that what his master had done could be said to be filled with evil, and they deserved to die for helping the evildoer.

Li Shunyu and the others gasped when they heard this. Nurturing a corpse army while collecting a huge amount of souls. What the Outer Realm genius, the Dark Sparrow, wanted to do was probably not simple.

He was also a terrifying person. He had done so many crazy things, but not a single piece of news had been leaked.

"Gu Chen, we have to send troops to the Underworld as soon as possible. That person's ambition is definitely not small."

Tang Ning said with a serious expression.

Gu Chen nodded. Not only was that person's motive chilling and had to be killed as soon as possible, but he also wanted to snatch the Soul Refining Bottle from that person's hands in exchange for a chance at survival for the Ghost Emperor.

However, the Soul Refining Bottle was in the other party's hands. If they did not think of a good way, the other party would fight to the death and implicate the countless souls in the bottle.

Moreover, the size of the corpse army in Fengdu was unknown. Even the Heavenly Soldiers would find it difficult to deal with these undying soldiers.

As Gu Chen pondered, he looked at the old man in front of him and came up with a plan.

"Since the other party wants the Underworld Sword, I'll go to the Underworld and give it to him.

…

According to ancient legends, there was the Underworld under the Underworld.

No one had ever known the entrance to the Underworld. It was rumored that only the dead could obtain the ferry.

Today, at the shore of the Yellow Springs, on the Bridge of Helplessness, a group arrived.

There were only four people in this group. The one leading the way was Gui Jue while the three envoys representing the Heavenly Court were at the back.

The emissary in the lead was dressed entirely in black, which matched the darkness of the Underworld. His appearance was ordinary, and his cultivation seemed mediocre.

The black-robed emissary was naturally Gu Chen. He carried a sword case on his back, and inside the case was the famous Underworld Dao Sword.

The genius from the outer domain, Youque Que, sent a messenger to deceive Gu Chen of the Underworld Dao Sword. Out of courtesy, Gu Chen sent a messenger with the sword.

It was just that he was more sincere, and the one who came was himself!

Behind him were Tang Ning and Li Shunyu. The two of them had heard of his plan and followed him personally to avoid any accidents.

In front of him, the Yellow Spring surged ceaselessly like a great river. It was even more spectacular than what Gu Chen had seen in the Ruins of Ghosts, and its evil aura was even more astonishing.

There was a Bridge of Helplessness above the Yellow Springs, and after crossing the bridge, one would be able to enter a secret realm created by the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor, the so-called Underworld.

"When the Immortal World still existed, there was a saying that there was the Celestial Court above and the Underworld below. The prestige of the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor back then was evident."

Li Shunyu looked at Huang Quan and sighed.

When he was very young, he had come here with Immortal Emperor Tai Xu, and this gloomy place did not seem that scary to him.

Everyone had a deep taboo when mentioning the Yellow Springs and the Underworld, but in his eyes, the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor, who controlled the Dao of Death, had always been a very principled person.

"After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness is Fengdu, right? I heard that the capital of the Underworld is no worse than some of the big cities in the Immortal World. Now that the big cities of the Immortal World are gone, this Fengdu is relatively well preserved. It's good to come here and see the prosperity of the ancient times. "

Tang Ning also spoke.

Gui Jue, who was walking in front, led the way carefully, not daring to participate in the conversation of the three behind.

He was just a nobody, previously ordered by his master, and now used by the Celestial Court.

He was very smart, and did not dare to have any schemes in his heart. Anyway, no matter who won or lost this battle, as long as he could keep his life, it was fine.

The group of four walked on the Bridge of Helplessness, and when they were halfway across the bridge, a thick fog suddenly appeared around them, obscuring their vision.

"The three of you, this Bridge of Helplessness connects two spaces. Only those whose identities have been verified can enter the Underworld."

"From now on, the three of you must be careful with your words and actions. Master might be spying on this place."

Gui Jue's voice sounded in the minds of Gu Chen and the other two. Hearing this, the three's expressions did not change, but they no longer communicated.

"The three envoys of the Celestial Court have come under the orders of the First Heaven General Gu Chen to deliver the Yellow Springs Dao Sword. We seek an audience with the Palace Lord, please let us pass."

Gui Jue cleared his throat and spoke to the front.

Right now, the Underworld had already been occupied by the ghost bird's refined corpse army. Although everyone knew about this, they still had to put on a show.

Not long after Gui Jue's words fell, the fog in front of them dispersed, and the road became clear.

The group successfully crossed the Bridge of Helplessness. Just as they reached the end of the bridge, there was already someone waiting in front.

"Welcome, three envoys of the Celestial Court. The Old Man is King Chujiang, who is in charge of the Second Hall of the Underworld. It must have been hard for you to come from afar. We have already prepared a place to stay, please rest."

There were the famous Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld. This King Chujiang had an extraordinary appearance. If Gu Chen hadn't known that other than the serene bird and his servants in the Underworld, the other Underworld cultivators were long gone, he would have believed his identity.

"We have come under the orders of the First Heaven General. When can we meet the Palace Lord?"

Gu Chen said.

"Don't be anxious. Please rest for a night. The Palace Lord will meet you tomorrow."

King Chujiang said with a smile, then brought Gu Chen and the other two to their residence.

Along the way, they saw many Underworld cultivators. At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but if they looked carefully, they would find that their eyes were dull, as if they were empty shells.

"Alright, then I won't disturb the three envoys' rest. I wonder if this sword sheath …"

King Chujiang brought Gu Chen and the other two to their residence and glanced at the sword sheath on Gu Chen's back.

"Lord Gu has ordered that we must personally hand over the Underworld Dao Sword to the Palace Lord."

Gu Chen replied with a smile.

"That's only right, only right."

King Chujiang immediately laughed, then signaled Gui Jue to leave with him.

After the two left, Li Shunyu revealed a worried expression. "Will Gui Jue betray us?"

"If he is smart enough, he will not be involved in this battle. Moreover, we said that we will meet tomorrow. Are we really going to act tomorrow? "
