Chapter 431: Chapter 300: Underworld Palace, Blocking the Path and Frightening Ghosts!_2
Having said that.
He threw the car keys directly to Ma Long, saying, “My disciple, I don’t have much to leave you. Take this car to drive… In the future, if you miss your master, just hang yourself with a rope and come back to the Wrongful Death City.”
Ma Long shrank his neck and asked, “Master, is there really no other way?”
Wang Defa laughed, “You have an Extremely Yin Body. Although your body is made of flesh and blood like most people, you are different from them. Now you have practiced the techniques of the Underworld Palace. In the future, when your Yin deity reaches perfection and you become a Ghost Immortal, you can completely break free from the constraints of the mortal world and enter the Underworld Palace.”
“Of course, you can also find the local ghost officials or ask Xu Yang to help you. They can both send you into the Underworld Palace.”
“Alright, I’m going. Practice well and don’t waste your talent!”
Ma Long’s eyes reddened, knelt down and bowed his head three times, saying, “Master, have a safe journey.”
This action startled Wang Defa, and he cursed with raised eyebrows and wide eyes, “Damn it, I’m just going home, not dying… what kind of ‘safe journey’ is that?”
On the side, Xu Yang forcibly held back his laughter and said, “Elder Wang, it’s getting late. Let’s go!”
“Alright!”
Wang Defa nodded and said, “You use your divine power to take us down there!”
Xu Yang’s thoughts moved, and a divine power talisman emerged from the center of his eyebrows and hung over his head.
Hum!
At the next moment, within the divine power talisman, a mysterious force enveloped them. A phantom-like portal was formed outside the funeral store, visible to the naked eye.
The portal seemed real yet illusory, embedded in the darkness of night, surrounded by a faint mist.
Inside the portal, everything was pitch black.
“Let’s go!”
Xu Yang held Liu Shishi’s hand and turned to the ladies, “You don’t have to worry, Shishi and I will be back soon.”
One man and one ghost stepped into the portal.
Wang Defa, looking back at the desolate street, sighed, “600 years… I don’t know when I’ll come back next time.”
He followed closely and entered the portal as well.
……
The world seemed to spin, time and space in chaos.
Xu Yang felt as if his body was like a feather, constantly floating in the sky…
Not knowing how much time had passed, finally…
Xu Yang set foot on the ground.
The scenery in front of him gradually became clear.
Before him was a narrow suspension bridge, about three meters wide. Under the bridge was a pitch-black void, with fierce Yin winds blowing like knives.
It was strange.
Below the bridge, the Yin wind rolled; on the bridge, it was peaceful and quiet.
Next to him, Liu Shishi asked, “My Lord, is this the Yin-Yang Path?”
Xu Yang had never seen the Yin-Yang Path before and didn’t dare to give a definite answer.
It was Elder Wang who said with a smile, “Yes, this is the Yin-Yang Path… After passing the Yin-Yang Path, you will enter the territory of the Underworld Palace.”
He turned back to look in the distance.
Behind him was a huge and magnificent portal, with a terrifying appearance like a beast’s mouth, with two large bronze doors in its mouth. On one side of the bronze door was the character “生” (Life), and on the other side was the character “死” (Death).
Below the portal, armored underworld soldiers stood guard.
In the portal, Yin spirits entered one after the other, arriving on the “Yin-Yang Path.”
Wang Defa continued, “This is the Ghost Gate. The ghosts of the mortal world enter the Underworld Palace and come here. After passing the Yin-Yang Path, they can choose to go to various places in the Underworld Palace.”
“How can we get to Fengdu City?”
Xu Yang asked.
Wang Defa replied, “Just follow me… Once you’re in the underworld, I’ll naturally make all the arrangements for you.”
He turned and walked to the underworld soldiers under the Ghost Gate, and with a flip of his hand took out a token.
The underworld soldier took a closer look and was first shocked before quickly kneeling on one knee and calling out, “Greetings, sir.”
Wang Defa said indifferently, “Get up, no need for formalities.”
When the underworld soldier stood up, Wang Defa said, “Arrange for me to go to the Wrongful Death City… These two are my good friends in the mortal world. Send them to Fengdu City.”
The underworld soldier complied, saying, “Sir, the Yin-Yang Path has not been fully restored, and the formations at Ghost Gate have not been fully repaired. There might be some deviations in the teleportation locations… Of course, it won’t be too far from the destination.”
Wang Defa, full of authority, said, “I’m aware, now prepare quickly!”
The underworld soldier left with a jog and returned ten minutes later with several other underworld soldiers, respectfully escorting Wang Defa, Xu Yang, and Liu Shishi to a set of rooms nearby.
These rooms looked small from the outside, but inside they were extremely spacious, with bizarrely shaped altars and underworld soldiers guarding the surroundings.
Next to these altars stood stone tablets with various place names written on them, such as “Fengdu” and “Wrongful Death”.
Wang Defa stepped onto the altar with the characters “Wrongful Death” and told Xu Yang, “Xu Yang, I’ll go first… If there’s a chance in the future, come visit me in the Wrongful Death City.”
“Alright!”
Xu Yang said, “Goodbye, Elder Wang.”
At the next moment, the light on the altar shone brightly.
When the light dispersed, Wang Defa had disappeared from the altar.
Following the guidance of the underworld soldier, Xu Yang and Liu Shishi stepped onto the altar with the characters “Fengdu”. The underworld soldier pressed something resembling a stone next to the altar, and the next moment, the light brightened…
Again, there was a sense of spinning, disorientation, and confusion.
By the time Xu Yang touched the ground again, they were on a large avenue.
This avenue was shrouded in a dense fog, with dead trees lining both sides. Xu Yang took a look and happily said, “Madam, I’ve been here before… Further ahead is the Fengdu City’s territory.”
What was different from the last time “entering the Underworld Palace” was that this time, the avenue was faintly filled with numerous wandering ghosts.
Most of these ghosts were dazed, moving forward only by a shred of instinct.
A few had clear eyes, looking left and right with curiosity on their faces.
One of the young men suddenly grabbed Xu Yang and asked, “Big brother, can I bother you to tell me where this is?”
Xu Yang replied truthfully, “The Underworld Palace.”
“Ding!”
“Fierce ghost was frightened, merit value +30, Go +1.”
The young man was shocked, exclaiming, “Impossible… This can’t be happening, I just fell asleep from studying chess too hard, how could I end up in the Underworld Palace?”
Oh!
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.
He could accumulate merit like this?
He pretended to ponder, then asked, “Young man… Is it possible that you died suddenly?”
“Ding!”
“Fierce ghost was frightened, merit value +30, Go +1.”
“Ding!”
“……”
A series of system prompt sounds rang out, and the young man panicked, “Impossible, I’m only 20 years old, I’m still a virgin, how could I die… You… Have you also died?”
Xu Yang shook his head and said, “I’m not dead, but you indeed are.”
After frightening him for a while,
the young man finally accepted the fact. He became dazed as well and walked forward, disheartened.
“If I stay on this road and scare ghosts, it might be a good idea…”
Xu Yang had a sudden flash of inspiration, looking at the dimly visible drifting ghosts and said, “Madam, let’s go to the small grove nearby first. After you break through, there’s something I want to do?”
Liu Shishi asked curiously, “What is it?”
“Look at these ghosts.”
Xu Yang pointed at the drifting shadows on the avenue and couldn’t help but sigh, “Most of these ghosts still don’t know that they have already died… They’re dazed and confused, like wandering lost souls. I want to do a good deed, wake them up, and tell them that they’ve already died!”
