Shen Chenfeng was not too surprised. He had guessed Bai Shengxue's identity ever since he saw Bai Shengxue practicing Devouring the Sky.
But what made him hesitate was, as a Devouring Ancient Clan, why did Bai Shengxue choose to help humans, create magical powers, and overthrow the rule of all races in the world?
Is it just out of pity?
Can’t bear the oppression of human beings?
Shen Chenfeng shook his head, absolutely impossible.
If Bai Shengxue was really so kind, she would not hide the Jiutian Taixuan Sutra, but instead hand over the next-level Jiutian Taimo Sutra for human beings to practice.
"I still don't quite understand."
Bai Shengxue looked confused and said: "Hongtiandu kills me, what does it have to do with me being from the Devouring Ancient Clan? I don't believe that Hongtiandu has known me for so long, doesn't he know my identity?"
"Haha, Bai Shengxue, you are really right."
Lin Xianzhi coughed and said: "Except for the different colors of blood, there is really no difference between the ancient tribe and the human beings. If it hadn't been for the sudden collapse of the heavenly law and the downfall of countless fortunes, you would not have been recognized by the emperor. No one can really discover your identity."
"Then what?"
Bai Shengxue's delicate body trembled, her face turned a little pale, and she said, "Just because I devoured the identity of the ancient clan, Hongtiandu will kill me, right?"
"I don't know about this."
Lin Xianzhi shook his head and said: "For more specific matters, you have to ask Hongtiandu."
After hearing this, Bai Shengxue fell completely silent.
Even if she loses all her memories, she still deeply understands what devouring the ancient tribe means.
That is the source of evil.
That is the enemy of all living things.
"What about you?"
Bai Shengxue suddenly smiled, but her smile was very forced, and said: "Now that you know my identity, do you still want to be with me?"
"certainly."
Shen Chenfeng smiled and said: "At least now, we still have a common enemy."
"Thank you."
Bai Shengxue took a breath and said: "I heard that there is a treasure in the underworld, called the Book of Life and Death, which records everything about everyone in the past. I want to take a look and find the truth of the matter."
"In that case, let's set off."
Shen Chenfeng's figure flashed and took the two of them flying towards the depths of the Netherworld.
Not long after, there was a town in sight.
"The Nether World is vast. It's many times larger than the Lingwu Continent. If we want to go to Fengdu City, we must first figure out where we are."
Shen Chenfeng's eyes flashed, and he looked at the two people behind him and said, "Why don't we go into the city and find out the news."
"That's fine."
Neither of them objected.
They followed Shen Chenfeng closely and landed outside the town.
What no one expected was that just after they fell, the whole town was shaken.
Not only were all the gates closed on all sides, but a shield was raised to protect the entire town.
"What's going on?"
Lin Xianzhi's face was full of astonishment and he said: "Even if they don't welcome us, they don't need to make such a big move, right?"
Bai Shengxue also looked suspicious and turned to look at Shen Chenfeng.
"Don't look at me."
Shen Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what's going on. Let's wait first."
About an hour later.
Seemingly seeing that Shen Chenfeng and the others were not hostile, the town finally removed the shield.
Immediately afterwards, an old man with white beard and hair, and a beard hanging down to the ground, slowly walked out of the town under the protection of countless guards.
"Lord of Little Laoyang City, I would like to pay my respects to you all."
The old man's voice was vicissitudes of life, and his aging body was trembling, as if he might fall down at any time, and said: "May I ask some of the adults, why are you here in Yangcheng?"
"Old man, don't be nervous."
Shen Chenfeng looked pleasant and tried to keep his tone as low as possible, saying: "We were passing by here and lost our way for a while. We just wanted to ask for directions into the city."
"Yeah?"
The Lord of Yangcheng looked at Shen Chenfeng suspiciously, but seemed to feel no hostility, then nodded and said: "In that case, all my lords, please follow me into the city."
"good."
Shen Chenfeng and others followed the old man and slowly walked into the city.
This city is not big, about dozens of miles in radius.
But what is surprising is that the buildings here are almost exactly the same as those in Lingwu Continent, which is completely different from the eerie and terrifying they imagined.
The only uncomfortable thing is that the whole town is all black.
No matter the ground, city walls, buildings, or even the clothes worn by these undead, they are all deep black.
It's dark and depressing.
"This city lord."
Lin Xianzhi looked around at the residents who were hiding in the dark and quietly observing them, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you close the entire town when we first arrived?"
"My lords."
The old man glanced at Lin Xianzhi, smiled slightly, and said: "If I guessed correctly, you should be outside cultivators, right?"
"How do you know?"
Lin Xianzhi was shocked. He thought he had hidden himself well, but he didn't expect to be recognized at a glance.
"Because real dead souls would not ask such questions."
The old man shook his head and said: "The Netherworld is the darkest world. Evil spirits are often born here. They are fierce, powerful, strange and ferocious. Some evil spirits will even change into the appearance of the undead. I don't know how many evil spirits there are. We naturally don’t dare to open the door until you have the status of an adult.”
"Evil spirit?"
Lin Xianzhi looked surprised and said: "Isn't this the jurisdiction of the underworld? Doesn't the underworld have any control over it?"
"Of course the underworld will take care of it."
The old man sighed softly and said: "However, the evil spirits are endlessly killing and disappearing. How can the underworld control it? So the underworld set up formations in the city to prevent the evil spirits from invading. As long as they do not leave the city without authorization, they will generally not What danger did you encounter?"
"I see."
Lin Xianzhi suddenly realized and said: "It seems that you just regarded us as evil spirits, right?"
"Sir, please forgive me."
The Lord of Yangcheng immediately looked horrified and bowed to salute.
"The city lord is exempt from the gift."
Shen Chenfeng flicked his fingers, and an invisible force immediately supported the old man who was about to kneel down and said: "My friend was just joking with you just now. Don't get me wrong. He has no ill intentions."
"That's good."
The Lord of Yangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and welcomed a few people into a main hall.
After several people were seated, he was respectful and asked in a low voice: "May I ask where you are planning to go, sir?"
Shen Chenfeng looked cold and said: "Fengdu."
"What, you are going to Fengdu City?"
The mayor of Yangcheng suddenly changed his face and said: "Fengdu is where the underworld is. It is located in the center of the Netherworld. It is a million kilometers away from here. Even if you use the flying escape technique, it will take at least three months. "
"Three months is really too long."
Bai Shengxue snorted coldly and said, "Isn't there any other way?"
