Chapter 726: Return to the Mortal World

“What’s going on over there, junior brother?” In Suiyang City, Shen Li clasped his hands together, maintaining the formation.

However, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead, indicating he had consumed a great deal of energy.

“He won’t be coming back for a while,” Sun Qi said truthfully.

The others turned their gazes towards him, especially Ya’an, who was filled with worry: “Could it be that he encountered danger in the Netherworld, so he couldn’t come back?”

Bai Wushuang’s brows furrowed slightly, “Is there no way to forcefully summon his soul back?”

“The... Heavenly Tower National Teacher, where has he gone? He must have a way to help!” Ya’an blurted out in her concern, almost revealing her own identity. She looked around, searching for the white-robed, white-haired figure.

However, after the Heavenly Tower National Teacher had used the Farshore Flower to deal with the monster, he had left with the City God, and his current whereabouts were unknown.

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. My junior brother is not in any danger; he just wants to stay in the Netherworld Realm for a while to handle some matters,” Sun Qi explained.

Shen Li spoke softly, “The longer a soul remains separated from the physical body, the more danger it faces. Is there anything more important than one’s life?”

Everyone waited with curious expressions, anticipating Sun Qi’s answer.

“This...” The latter hesitated for a moment and said with a strange expression: “Junior brother said he wanted to make a deal.”

The crowd were left dumbfounded: “...???”

...

“Five Nether Stones for one time, five Nether Stones for two times, does anyone want to bid higher?”

Pausing on the massive rock, Qin Feng’s tone hesitated, the stone hammer in his hand hovering in the air, about to fall.

He swept his gaze around, and Ox Head, who had bid five Nether Stones, had his heart in his throat, deeply afraid that someone would bid higher.

After all, this was his entire life’s savings!

The other ghosts looked at each other, then glanced at the small bowl of Immortal’s Drunkenness placed on the rock, sighing helplessly as they gave up on bidding.

“Five Nether Stones for three times, sold!” Qin Feng shouted loudly.

Ox Head was so happy that he ran to the boulder, handed over the money with one hand, and received the goods with the other.

Under the envious gazes of the other ghosts, Ox Head drained the bowl of alcohol in one gulp, and then his whole body trembled.

Accompanied by the vital force circulating within him, his bottleneck at the fifth Calamity Cycle was finally broken through at this moment, successfully stepping into the sixth Calamity Cycle realm!

“I broke through, I broke through!” Ox Head exclaimed excitedly.

The Horse-Faced nearby watched with envy and regret.

If he had known this would happen, he should have saved up more money in his daily life!

At this moment, Father Qin seemed to remember something and called out loudly, “Oh right, Feng’er, did you find the secret stash of money I told you about before?”

“Don’t worry, Father, I’ve kept it safe,” Qin Feng replied.

“That’s good. I’ve been saving those thirty thousand taels of silver for a long time!” Father Qin exclaimed.

Qin Feng stiffened at this, thirty thousand silver taels? His father had said it was only three hundred taels... This was very much like his father.

With a flash of white light, Qin Feng’s figure disappeared into the sky above.

At the same time, in the cave, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva retracted his divine sense, and the strange beast next to him suddenly stood up, perking its ears up.

“There is movement in the golden bowl!”

Ksitigarbha frowned, his finger lightly tapping to project an image in the empty space before him.

Within the continuous mountain ranges of black stones and white bones, black flames were burning fiercely.

Inside a low-lying valley enveloped in golden light, the horrific sounds of crying, wailing, and shrieking were incessant.

Upon closer inspection, it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Countless monsters were crammed together, their appearances grotesque and forms varied – like piles of flesh or colliding corpses.

The flesh was squirming, the bony limbs flailing, and fresh blood flowed among them like venomous snakes.

Whenever a monster tried to break out of the valley, it would touch the golden light, a swastika would appear, and the monster’s body would be dissolved, emitting white smoke as it retreated with a screech.

This was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Demon-Subduing Golden Bowl, the supreme Chaotic Primordial Treasure!

The Netherworld Realm was plagued by these undying monsters, so confinement was the only solution.

The reason these monsters were now behaving strangely was because the Ghost Lord had appeared in the sky above.

She held the Farshore Flower obtained from Qin Feng and tossed it into the valley.

Seeing this, the monsters feared it and scrambled to avoid it.

However, their fear seemed to have aroused the ferocity of these bizarre entities, and they began to slither and fuse together.

A massive bony arm emerged from the mass of flesh, colliding with the Farshore Flower.

The giant bone arm dissipated, and the Farshore Flower vanished as well.

The Ghost Lord’s brows were furrowed tightly, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s expression was grave.

To try and destroy these monsters with the scarce Farshore Flowers was merely a delusional dream...
