Everyone has arrived, and the Old City God no longer delays. He presses his big hand on the ground, and a huge, somewhat illusory door appears in the courtyard.
The gate looks like it is made of bronze. It is ancient and vast. There are three carved seal characters hanging high on the door beam.
gate of hell
Entering the gate of hell is the underworld. Looking back on the past is just a dream.
Although the Yinsi Hall in Hongling City is occupied by Akame, the Old City God, as the righteous god of the Yinsi, can enter and exit the Yinsi at will as long as he is in Hongling City.
This is one of the rules he has mastered. Even if Akame wants to block the underworld and prevent entry and exit, there is no way to do so.
As he stepped inside, Chai Jiangcui felt that the surrounding environment began to change. The scene inside the Buddhist Temple became blurry and the sky became darker and darker.
The bluestone road under my feet gradually turned into a black stone road full of dust. Beautiful flowers of the other shore appeared on both sides of the black stone road.
Flowers bloom on the other side, flowers bloom on the other side; flowers bloom without leaves, leaves without flowers; flowers and leaves cherish each other and will never be seen again.
Bai Yuan lay on Chai Jiangcui's shoulder, looking around with his little head like a probe.
Originally, I didn't plan to take it with me into the underworld, but the little guy pretended to be pitiful and acted like a fool. Chai Jiangcui couldn't resist it, so she reluctantly took it with her.
On the black road, there are many armored ghosts patrolling in formations. However, these ordinary warning methods are destined to be unable to stop many people.
A Shen Yun hiding technique, even if you walk in front of these little devils, it will be difficult for them to detect it.
On the way, Chai Jiangcui saw several forked roads that led to the depths of the netherworld. There were no ghosts guarding these roads, and there were no wandering souls wandering on them. They looked deserted and dilapidated.
Chai Jiangcui was a little curious, and his spiritual consciousness secretly transmitted the message to the Old City God.
"Lord City God, where do these forked roads lead to, and why do they look so deserted and dilapidated?"
"Going back to Fairy Yanyun, most of the directions where the roads extend are also ghost towns."
"Is it also a ghost town?"
Chai Jiangcui whispered.
"Yes, whenever there is a drastic change in the underworld, let me give you an analogy. If the entire underworld in Hongling City is completely destroyed, the handles on the gates of ghosts are no longer there, and the ghosts escape, the place we just went to will slowly turn into a dead place.
The city will remain in the city until a new Yinsi Shinto appears. Depending on the situation, the old city may be used, or a new city may gradually emerge."
Chai Jiangcui nodded, but before she said anything, the little fox on her shoulder asked. After so long, it was not so nervous about Yin Si.
“Then why not just stick to the old town?”
"Uh-huh, of course everyone has their own considerations, and there are some things that are difficult to explain in just a few words."
Although the Old City God was facing the little fox at the moment, he was paying more attention to Chai Jiangcui from the corner of his eye. Fortunately, the latter's face was calm and he didn't ask any more questions before he felt relieved.
Moving forward, the five people soon crossed the black stone road and arrived in front of the Yinsi Hall.
There are two rows of armored and armed ghost soldiers standing outside the Yin Division Hall. There is a chief seat and four auxiliary seats in the inner courtyard. However, the four auxiliary seats are now empty, and one of the desks has been damaged.
At this moment, the red-eyed ghost commander was sitting cross-legged on the main seat. There were piles of human corpses under the hall. These corpses were male and female, old and young, but all of them were turned into mummified corpses without exception.
In the center of the mountain of corpses, there was a pool of blood several feet wide, bubbling. From the churning blood, a stone lion two feet long and wide could still be vaguely seen.
"Bones are as white as mountains, skin and flesh are like forests. There are 300,000 people in Hongling City, and 290,000 are here. The rest are just food for the demons. I...I am guilty!"
The old city god stared at the scene in the main hall, his whole body was dim and his eyes were filled with tears.
From the day he became the City God, he had sworn to protect the people of Hongling City. For three hundred years, he had worked diligently to supervise the patrolling ghosts every day without daring to slack off in the slightest.
But now, because of a single thought of his own, Hongling City has fallen into a state of eternal doom.
"Since the crime has been committed, Lord City God, what you should be thinking about now is how to remedy the situation. The remaining people in Hongling City are still waiting for you to save them."
Chai Jiangcui didn't say anything to comfort him. The Old City God must be blamed for Hongling City's disaster. But instead of grieving for the dead, it's better to think more about the remaining people.
"Fairy Yunyan is right. I will risk my god's throne being shattered this time, and I will try my best to stop Akame."
The old city god calmed down his emotions and slowly took off his official hat.
Putting his official hat on the ground, the old city god looked at the stone lion in the blood sacrifice pool and said:
"Fairy Yanyun, I see that this stone lion is covered in blood, which is a sign of the critical period of red-eye fusion. It is most appropriate to take action at this moment."
"Okay, then I ask you all to help me raid the formation."
Looking at the bloody stone lion, Chai Jiangcui made a hand seal, and a mysterious starlight shot out from her eyes, showing the red-eyed ghost handsome sitting in the center.
In a small dark world.
The red-eyed ghost commander was sitting cross-legged. In front of him, floating in front of him, was a sleeping old man. There was still a little bit of blood shining between the old man's eyebrows.
Akame pressed a hand on the old man's face, constantly absorbing the wisps of strange energy flying out from him.
The red-eyed ghost commander is very angry now. He could have absorbed all the evil energy yesterday.
But for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt an irresistible and powerful suction force at noon yesterday. Not only was nearly half of the old man's remaining evil spirit taken away, but even the evil energy that had just been absorbed into his body and had not yet been refined was evaporated in the blink of an eye.
A third of it was taken away by this suction force.
If Akame hadn't reacted quickly and sealed his soul and the old man's seven orifices in time to stop the evil energy from spreading, the evil energy that he had worked so hard to plan for a long time would have been completely wiped out by this strange suction force.
But even so, Akame's losses are also great. And because he has sealed the seven orifices of the soul, his speed of absorbing strange energy is much slower now. From absorbing it continuously before, he now absorbs it carefully one by one.
absorb.
But even so, an accidentally drawn out Qi will still be taken away by the suction force.
It's not that Akame didn't think about finding the source of the strange suction, but the blood sacrifice couldn't be interrupted after it was carried out. His body couldn't move, so he had to suffer this big loss.
"The damn suction power is still there. There are still two days left. When I come out, I will cut your thief into pieces."
The red-eyed ghost commander gritted his teeth and watched as another ray of strange energy was snatched away, his eyes filled with anger.
However, just as Akame finished speaking, a huge explosion sounded in the sky above the small world.
Boom——
Feeling the strong vibration in the small world, Akame's expression suddenly changed.
