Gu Chen didn't care at all what the heavenly generals thought. Hearing that the souls of all the monks in the underworld had been taken away by the outsider genius, he was moved in his heart.
"What happened to Youque's black jade bottle? Is the soul that he took away alive or dead now?"
The old man hurriedly replied, "The black jade bottle is the master's treasure. The master calls it the soul refining bottle. The younger one only knows that the soul refining bottle is extremely powerful and no soul can escape from it."
"As for whether the soul in the bottle is alive or dead, the owner won't tell me, and even the little ones don't dare to ask."
Gu Chen's brows relaxed slightly after hearing this. Assuming that the ghost emperor's soul was also taken into the soul refining bottle, then he might not be dead yet!
Not only him, but also everyone else in the underworld. Things may be turning around!
"What else do you know? I've told you everything!"
"The master is cultivating an army of corpse refiners in Fengdu. He said he will use this to conquer twelve star regions."
"Except for the young one, the master also has five slaves. The others are usually responsible for helping the master collect...collect souls."
"How to collect?"
"They are responsible for going to various life stars and practicing sects to carry out massacres. When the creatures die and turn into resentful spirits, they take them away with imitation soul refining bottles and bring them back to Fengdu."
The more the old man talked, the more frightened he became. He knew very well that what his master had done could be said to be full of evil, and that they were helping the evildoers, and they really deserved to die.
Li Shunyu and others gasped after hearing this. While cultivating an army of corpse refiners, they collected a large number of souls. What the outsider genius Youque wanted to do was probably not easy.
He is also a terrible person. He has done so many crazy things and yet he has not leaked any information.
"Gu Chen, we have to send troops to the underworld as soon as possible. That man's ambition is definitely not small."
Tang Ning said with a serious expression.
Gu Chen nodded. Not only was the man's motives chilling and must be killed as soon as possible, he also wanted to take the soul refining bottle from him, which might give the Ghost Emperor a chance to survive.
It's just that the soul refining bottle is in the opponent's hands. If he doesn't come up with a good idea, it will be a disaster for the opponent and the countless souls in the bottle will be implicated.
Moreover, the scale of the corpse-refining army in Fengdu is unknown. Even the heavenly soldiers would have a hard time dealing with such undead soldiers.
Gu Chen thought about it, looked at the old man in front of him, and had a plan in his mind.
"Since the other party wants the Huangquan Dao Sword, I will go to the underworld and give it to him personally!"
…
According to ancient legend, there is an underworld under the Yellow Spring, which governs the world of death.
The entrance to the underworld has never been known, and it is said that only the dead can be ferried there.
Today, on the shore of Huangquan, on the Naihe Bridge, a team was welcomed.
There are only four people in this team. Leading the way is Gui Jue, and behind are three messengers representing the arrival of heaven.
The leader of the envoy was dressed all in black, which was consistent with the dark scene in the underworld. He had an ordinary appearance and seemed to have average cultivation.
This messenger in black is naturally Gu Chen. He is carrying a sword box behind him. In that box is the famous Huangquan Dao Sword.
The outsider genius Youque sent an envoy to coax the Huangquan Dao Sword from Gu Chen. Out of courtesy, Gu Chen sent an envoy to bring the sword.
It’s just that he is more sincere, it’s him who comes!
Behind him were Tang Ning and Li Shunyu. They heard about his plan and followed him personally to avoid any accidents.
The yellow spring in front is rushing like a big river. It is more spectacular than what Gu Chen saw under the ghost ruins back then, and the evil spirit is even more shocking.
There is Naihe Bridge above Huangquan. After crossing the bridge, you can enter a secret realm opened by the Immortal Emperor of Huangquan, which is the so-called "underworld".
"When the immortal world was still there, there was a saying that there was heaven above and hell below. This shows the prestige of the Huangquan Immortal Emperor back then."
Li Shunyu looked at Huangquan and sighed.
When he was very young, he came here with Immortal Emperor Taixu. This gloomy place didn't seem that scary to him.
People in the world are very taboo when it comes to underworld and underworld, but in his eyes, Immortal Emperor Underworld, who controls the way of death, has always been a very principled person.
"After Naihe Bridge, you will reach Fengdu. I heard that this capital of the underworld is no worse than some of the big cities in the fairyland. Nowadays, the big cities in the fairyland are no longer visible. Fengdu is relatively well-preserved. It's great to come here to see it and get a glimpse of the prosperity of ancient times.
Good."
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 people behind.
He is just a nobody. He was driven by his master before, but now he is being used by heaven.
He is very smart and does not dare to have any calculations in his heart. Anyway, no matter who loses or wins this battle, as long as he can save his life.
A group of four people were walking on the Naihe Bridge. When they were halfway across the bridge, heavy fog suddenly appeared around them, blocking the view ahead.
"Three of you, this Naihe Bridge connects two spaces. Only those whose identities have been verified can enter the underworld."
"The three of you must be careful about your words and actions from now on. The master may peek into this place."
Gui Jue's voice sounded in the minds of Gu Chen and the others. Their expressions did not change when they heard the words, but they stopped communicating.
"Three envoys from the Heavenly Court sent the Huangquan Daojian to Huangquan Daojian on the order of Master Gu Chengu on the first day. They asked to see the master of the palace and asked the bridge master to let him go."
Gui Jue cleared his throat and said to the front.
The current underworld has been occupied by the corpse-refining army of Youque. Although everyone knows this, it still needs to be done superficially.
Not long after Gui Jue finished speaking, the fog in front dispersed and the road became clear.
The group of people crossed the Naihe Bridge smoothly. As soon as they arrived at the bridge, there were already people waiting in front of them.
"Welcome the three heavenly envoys. I am the King of Chujiang who is in charge of the second palace of the underworld. It's been hard work coming all the way. We have prepared a place to stay. Please move on and rest."
There is the famous King of Hell of the Ten Palaces in the underworld. King Chujiang looks extraordinary. If he hadn't known that except for You Que and his slaves, the other underworld monks were no longer in the underworld, Gu Chen would have believed his identity.
"I am here with the order of the first day general. I wonder when I can meet with the master of the palace?"
Gu Chen opened his mouth and said.
"Don't be anxious, you three. Please rest for a night. The master of the palace will receive you tomorrow."
King Chu Jiang said with a smile, and then took Gu Chen and the others to their residence.
Along the way, everyone saw a lot of monks from the underworld. At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but if you took a closer look, you could see that their eyes were dull, like empty shells.
"Okay, then I won't disturb the rest of the three envoys. I wonder if this sword box..."
King Chu Jiang brought Gu Chen and the others to their residence, and glanced at the sword box on Gu Chen's back.
"Master Gu has ordered that we must hand over the Huangquan Dao Sword to the Palace Master in person."
Gu Chen replied with a smile.
"That's what it should be, it should be."
King Chu Jiang immediately laughed, then signaled to Gui Jue and left with him.
As soon as the two left, Li Shunyu looked worried. "Will that ghost betray us?"
"If he is smart enough, he will not get involved in this battle. Besides, if he says we will meet tomorrow, will we really take action tomorrow?"
Gu Chen's eyes turned cold. He would not wait for the meeting with the Youque tomorrow. He was going to test his skills tonight.
