C2769 The Underworld

"Hehe... Another unfamiliar face!"

A sinister laugh rang in Ning Qi's ears.

This place was like a temple. Yaen Zhibei was standing in front of Ning Qi. As for Xiao Wuchang, he had already disappeared.

The person who spoke had a pale face. When he laughed, his tongue was so red that it looked like it was stained with blood!

Most importantly, his aura was the same as the Beast Soul that Yaen Zhibei and Xiao Wuchang had used to control. It was the smell of a soul.

"Kid, this is your first time coming to the Underworld, right? Haven't you seen a ghost before?"

The other party laughed out loud once again when he saw Ning Qi sizing him up.

"Underworld?"

Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly.

The place where he appeared was like a temple. There were many statues placed there, and the person who spoke was a soul without a physical body!

Apart from that, in the short period of time that he appeared, many souls with confused eyes appeared out of thin air. As soon as they appeared, they drifted towards the outside of the temple.

"You are?"

Ning Qi looked at them and said indifferently.

"I am the guide here. I am responsible for receiving the souls. When you die in the future, you may come to me. Hehe... "

The other party laughed strangely.

"Guide?"

Ning Qi had a strange look in his eyes.

"You living people shouldn't stay here for too long. Otherwise, you will get angry and offend those who just died. Since you have come to the Underworld, go and settle your own matters. Let's go!"

The man waved his sleeve and said.

Ning Qi and Yaen Zhibei exchanged glances with each other, then strode out of the temple. Outside the temple was a desolate mountain range. Many souls with confused expressions gradually regained their clarity. Perhaps... Fear or ecstasy all over the place! Only a small number of souls were looking at Ning Qi and Yaen Zhibei with green eyes. They greedily licked their lips, but they seemed to be able to feel that Yaen Zhibei and Ning Qi were very powerful. That was why they didn't really pounce on them.

"You aren't afraid at all?"

Yaen Zhibei looked at Ning Qi with sparkling eyes.

"Why should I be afraid?"

Ning Qi asked with a smile.

Yaen Zhibei smiled. "This is the Underworld. After a person dies, the soul will go to the place. This is the first time you've come here since you didn't know about this place. Are you really not afraid? Don't tell me you never thought that you would be able to come here... Perhaps you are also dead?"

"There are many people in this world who want me to die, but unfortunately, I still can't die, so I naturally won't die here. I guess when you first entered this place, you must have wet your pants from fright, right?"

Ning Qi said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Yaen Zhibei's expression changed slightly, as if Ning Qi had guessed what was on his mind.

When he had fought with the Yan Emperor, he had accidentally fallen into this valley. He was lucky enough not to die, and he had accidentally touched the statue. His entire body had been sucked into the Underworld. At that time, he had really pissed his pants in fear! He thought he was dead.

"Hmph."

Yaen Zhibei coldly harrumphed and didn't say anything else.1

"No wonder you said that only death can be achieved here. This is the Underworld. There must be more powerful souls in this world than in the mortal world. It's just that I'm very curious. Living people can enter and exit this place freely through the statues, but what about these truly dead people? They can't leave the Underworld?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

"That's the rule. It's impossible for a dead person to leave the Underworld. Because the Underworld is under the suppression of the Four Great Venerables. No matter how powerful a soul is, it's impossible for them to leave the Underworld. As long as they want to leave, they'll be suppressed! Don't ask me how I know. These are all things that a certain senior in the Underworld told me back then. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. There are only people like us who don't truly die. Talent! We can go back and forth through the statue, but we can't go out at any time... You saw the guide just now, you didn't have anything to move him... He won't let you touch the statue"

Yaen Zhibei let out a strange laugh.

Four Venerables?

Ning Qi's expression changed. Sure enough, there was an even stronger existence here. However, he didn't know how strong the Venerable Yaen Zhibei mentioned was. His cultivation base was still suppressed by some kind of mysterious force, even though he had come to this so-called Underworld. In that case, the Venerable One in this place should also be restricted by this kind of restriction.

Perhaps this place was the reason why Old Man Xuanjian wanted him to come here?

Ning Qi thought for a moment and said indifferently, "The four Venerables you mentioned, what is their background? So what if they are stronger than a Terminator?"

"You want to know about the Venerable? Hehe. "

Yaen Zhibei chuckled. "This isn't a secret. Stay in the Underworld for a few more days. I'll find out. Rumor has it that the Underworld already existed when the heavens and earth first opened. Those four Venerables are terrifying existences that appeared at the same time as the Underworld. As for whether they were humans or ghosts, no one knew. It was just that there were rumors that the four Supremacies were the supreme beings of the Underworld, all souls that entered the Underworld. All living people are under the jurisdiction of the four Sovereigns. "

"However, according to what I know, no one has ever seen the four Venerables. The ones who are in charge of the Underworld are the old ancestors of the Reincarnation Hall."

"The Reincarnation Hall..."

Ning Qi's eyes moved. Qi Yao had said that Old Man Xuanjian had also seen a palace master of the Reincarnation Hall. However, that place must be different from this place, except that the name was the same. Or was it another idea?

Perhaps, only by going there and seeing what the hell was made of, and the origin of the four Venerables could everything be understood clearly.

"Let's go, we'll talk as we walk."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Go? Go where? "

Yaen Zhibei was slightly stunned.

"We are naturally going to the Reincarnation Hall to take a look. You said that they are in charge of this place. How can we not pay a visit to the mountain when we are already here?"

Ning Qi said with a smile.

Yaen Zhibei's expression changed instantly, and then he said with a smile, "Sure, I happen to know the way. I'll send Buddha to the west."

Along the way, Ning Qi asked Yaen Zhibei about the Underworld. He wanted to verify that this place was related to the Underworld in his memory. Was there any connection between it and the guy who called himself Xie Biann? He had already remembered that it was the name of the White Impermanence of the Underworld!

However, Yaen Zhibei's answer was different from what Ning Qi had imagined. He seemed to have no idea about the Underworld that Ning Qi knew about, and the Underworld that he spoke of... It was a place where living people and souls could coexist, as long as living people had a chance. Being able to come here, they could also live. They were really lucky. They would be able to obtain the Soul Devouring Incantation, and there were countless souls in the Underworld. To a Soul Devouring expert, it was simply a holy land!

However, even if there were benefits, there was a price to pay. Souls that came to the Underworld. They weren't as pure as the mortal world. They were all contaminated with the unique aura of the Underworld. If one swallowed too much, one would easily become a devil and eventually lose consciousness. Besides that, the powerful souls in the Underworld would also hunt living people. The blood essence in the bodies of living people was extremely beneficial to them!

Thus, some powerful experts would make trades with the powerful souls in the Underworld and use living people to exchange for some powerful and pure souls that they controlled!

"For our Spirit Level Expert, it's useless to devour ordinary souls. We simply can't allow us to achieve nirvanic extermination! Therefore, we can either choose to trade or hunt for those powerful souls of our own accord. However, how could they remove the impurities in their bodies? This method... Only some big sects have such a method. For example, the Yin Spirit Sect."

The two of them appeared in front of a city. Yaen Zhibei glanced at Ning Qi and said with a smile.
