Chapter 1114
The walls of Fengdu Ghost City were tall and thick. It was not as gloomy as the rumors made it out to be. Instead, it exuded a heavy dignity.
At this moment, a shadow was silently moving toward the Yellow Springs Immortal Palace in the depths of Fengdu.
The Yellow Springs Immortal Palace used to be the temporary imperial residence of the Yellow Springs Immortal Emperor. It was the most sacred place in the Underworld, and it was the residence of the previous Underworld Lords.
Around the Yellow Springs Immortal Palace stood the famous Ten Halls of the Underworld. Each hall was home to a powerful King of Hell.
The Underworld was centered around the Underworld Lord and the ten Kings of Hell, and they became a great force that shook the starry sky. During the era of the Yellow Spring Immortal Emperor, they were the mainstay of the Immortal World, and they were in charge of all order in the Netherworld.
However, ever since the disappearance of Immortal Emperor Yellow Spring and the other Immortal Emperors, the Underworld had been silent for countless years.
The Celestial Court has been keeping a low profile for the past million years, but it would still occasionally make waves. Hell, on the other hand, is so mysterious that almost no one knows anything about it.
Perhaps it was because of this that the outside world didn't know that the local government had fallen into the hands of an Outer Realm genius.
In Fengdu, a hundred ghosts were roaming the night. Countless refined corpses were swimming about in the city. Their eyes were dazed, and it was clear that they were not souls with intelligence.
There were trillions of such refined corpses, and even without sentience, they were still a terrifying army of Yin soldiers.
Gu Chen hid himself from the wandering souls of the Netherworld who were monitoring his residence. He transformed into a shadow and passed through more than half of Fengdu at an astonishing speed. He even passed through the Ten Halls under the eyes of the Ten Kings of Hell. He was about to reach the Yellow Spring Immortal Palace.
The Underworld was a great power with a long history. Even though Gu Chen had the Shadow Immortal Physique, it would not be easy for him to sneak into the Yellow Springs Immortal Palace.
However, because the souls of the real Yama Kings of the Ten Halls and Mo Yanshen had already been taken away by the Serene Sparrow, the Yama Kings of the Ten Halls were only empty shells with a simple consciousness given by the Serene Sparrow. Therefore, it was exceptionally easy for Gu Chen to fool them.
An exceptionally majestic palace came into view. Gu Chen knew that they had arrived at the Yellow Springs Fairy Palace.
Swoosh.
The shadow that he transformed into had just sneaked into the outer palace when he heard the discussion of a few people.
"With the Underworld Dao Sword in hand, the master should not be far from becoming an emperor. At that time, we can also bask in the glory. Ghost Jue, you have contributed a lot in this matter."
The ghost servants of the Serene Bird said to Gui Jue, all of their faces were glowing.
Gui Jue's expression was somewhat gloomy, as if making such a huge contribution was not worth him being happy about.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the three envoys of the Celestial Court? "
The ghost servants could see that Gui Jue's expression was not right and could not help asking.
Gu Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, could not help but stop and squint his eyes.
Gui Jue Jue immediately shook his head. "The three emissaries are naturally not a problem. The Celestial Court also sincerely wants to use the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to exchange for the support of the Underworld."
"If that's the case, why are you still gloomy?" The few people did not believe him. They rarely saw such an expression on Gui Jue's face.
"I was just thinking that although we managed to trick the Yellow Springs Dao Sword, when the Celestial Court finds out the truth, we might not be able to bear the consequences."
"You guys don't know. When I returned to the Celestial Court, I only found out how powerful they are."
Gui Jue forced a smile and explained.
The few people came to a sudden realization. The leader of the group, a gloomy old man, smiled and said.
"The Celestial Court is the former leader of the Immortal World. Even if it is not as prosperous as it was in the Immemorial Era, it is still bigger than a starving camel. Of course, the Underworld cannot compare."
"But what does this have to do with us? Don't you understand the master's temperament? "
"The master only took down the Underworld to use the existing conditions here to cultivate and cultivate an army of refined corpses. So what if the Celestial Court finds out that they were tricked in the future?"
"When the master uses the power of the Yellow Springs Dao Sword to prove his Dao and become an emperor, then opens the Yellow Springs Treasury, we can escape. How can the Celestial Court catch up to us?"
"At that time, no matter how angry they are, they can only blame themselves for being stupid. What's more, no matter how powerful the Celestial Court's Overlord is, when the master breaks through to emperor, can he still be a match? "
The old man's words were reasonable. The few people listened with joy.
They followed the master and lived a good life. Their days were much better than before. They could not wait for the master to prove his Dao and become an emperor.
"You guys are right. I was overthinking."
Gui Jue smiled dryly. In his heart, he thought, I'm afraid the master will not have the chance to break through to emperor. That Overlord is already here.
"He wants to prove his Dao and become an emperor?"
"Yellow Springs Treasury …"
Gu Chen muttered to himself. After listening for a while, he dived deeper into the Yellow Springs Immortal Palace.
"Wu —"
Countless lonely souls and wild ghosts were howling, and their mournful cries dyed the entire palace a wretched shade of green.
As soon as Gu Chen dived into the depths of the Immortal Palace, he was shocked by the monstrous murderous aura.
Previously, when he went to the Tyrants' mystic land, he was shocked by the vengeful methods of the spider and the resentment of countless wandering souls. Now that he was here, he realized that he paled in comparison.
At that moment, the palace in front of him was occupied by countless wandering souls. He did not know what the people inside were doing.
He carefully avoided the wandering souls. His shadow almost stuck to the walls as he walked. Only then did he reach the palace and see what was going on.
At that moment, on an altar that was obviously newly built, there was a large array made of dark red blood. A black jade bottle was placed in the middle of the array.
The mouth of the jade bottle was constantly emitting a faint black light. Countless wandering souls were continuously coming out of the bottle.
Inside the altar, next to the jade bottle, a black-robed young man with thin lips and thin eyes was forming hand seals with both hands. He seemed to be cultivating.
As his hands continued to change the hand seals, the wandering souls in the palace revealed painful expressions on their faces. Traces of soul power were forcibly stripped from their bodies and integrated into a strange God's Dharma Form behind the young man.
Gu Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold when he saw this scene, but he did not immediately take action.
The person in front of him was obviously the target he was looking for. Serene Sparrow had indiscriminately killed innocent people to cultivate. According to his temperament, he would probably kill the person directly.
However, the reason why he went through so much trouble to sneak into the Netherworld Immortal Palace was not to act on impulse.
He had to figure out the true strength of the other party and whether they had other helpers. This was because Gui Jue might not know everything.
A lion would go all out even when fighting a rabbit. After suffering many losses in the past, Gu Chen was now used to doing things more carefully and flawlessly.
In addition to figuring out the true strength of the enemy, Gu Chen had to consider the safety of the Underworld cultivators.
He wanted a powerful Underworld to join his alliance, not a group of mindless refined corpses.
To achieve this, he had to figure out whether the Underworld cultivators in the Soul Refining Bottle, including the Ghost Emperor, were still alive.
