Please calm down your anger

Wang Xuan is not a person who is sad and sad.

Practitioners, who have seen the great changes in the sea, are used to the world like tides, life becomes long, and passers-by come and go, most of them are as hard as iron.

What's more, after he came to this world, he spent most of his time in the barracks, on the battlefield of soldiers and horses. There were countless dead souls under his command, and he had already looked down on life and death.

But here, there is an inexplicable kind of desolate sadness welling up in my heart.

It seems that the years are long, and all living beings are mayflies...

Wang Xuan's hairs stood on end.

This is absolutely not normal.

The entire ancient city of Hades is like a half-dead creature, slowly pouring out some kind of sorrow, straight to the soul.

Is this underworld really alive?

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan suppressed the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, took out the Sanqi Liuyi plate from his bosom, and carefully squeezed the formula.

clap la la...

The sound of the Dharma plate spinning was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet and desolate street.

But Wang Xuan didn't dare to be careless.

Compared with the evil things and enemies that may appear, this kind of thing that can directly affect the soul of a person is more terrifying, and it may have fallen into some kind of big formation.

Crash... the compass is still turning.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, feeling more and more strange in his heart.

Could it be that it wasn't affected by the formation?

After a while, the compass still rotated.

Wang Xuan had no choice but to put it away, and then rotated the candle dragon eyes, his eyes radiated golden light and looked around.

I saw that the spirit veins and earth energy of this ancient city are also very strange.

The clear qi of the three realms rises, and the turbid qi descends, so the spirit qi of the land veins in the Nine Nethers is mostly sticky, heavy, turbid and gloomy.

Ordinary monks, let alone practicing, will be covered with frost and their meridians will freeze even if they take a sip.

But in this underworld, the aura of the earth veins is relatively gentle, with a faint golden glow, and the tolerance of Wutu.

What's even more strange is that the spirit qi lives on movement, even if the Nine Nether Dragon Veins are scattered, it always flows slowly, but here, the spirit qi seems to be frozen, appearing lifeless.

Wang Xuan was thoughtful, and with a touch of his toes, he soared into the air and landed on the top of a towering stone palace.

Looking at it, I found it strange.

The spirit energy of the underworld is neatly divided into areas. There is a magnificent hall in the center of each area, and the surrounding buildings are surrounded by a ring.

It is actually arranged in the same way as dragon scales, which has the same effect.Layer upon layer, until reaching the end of sight...

Even though Wang Xuan was well-informed, his eyes were shocked at this moment.

Is this a formation, or what?
Wang Xuan thought for a while, and began to explore along the surrounding houses.

This underworld is too old, and every building that you enter is empty inside. There are traces of fire on the exposed stone walls, and there are occasional rotten weapons among the thick ashes on the ground.

Whoever lived there has been buried in the dust of the years, and nothing of value has been found.

Before I knew it, I had come to the corner of the street.

Wang Xuan didn't move forward, because this place was already the boundary of the energy of the dragon scale-shaped spiritual vein.

He stretched out his hand, and the broken stones on the ground flew into the air immediately.

Sure enough, there was a ripple in the air, the stones disappeared without a trace, and there was nothing on the ground a few meters away.

Wang Xuan suddenly realized.

How could there be no formations in this ancient city, otherwise the Nether Glazed Venerable and others would have broken in long ago.

It's just that this formation is too huge, and each area is just a piece of dragon scale. If you guess correctly, it will be triggered when you pass the boundary.

Thinking of this, he took out the Sanqi Liuyi Pan again.

This time, the compass finally responded, but the compass was spinning, and the operation was obscure and difficult. It took a long time to detect that the front was a dead end.

Wang Xuan was not in a hurry, he changed several directions around the corner, but what left him speechless was that not only did the three auspicious gates of Kai, Xiu and Sheng not appear, even the two gates of Du and Jing disappeared, only the gate of death and Startled.

Tried everywhere, same thing.

With his current level of cultivation, even in places like the Ten Forbidden Grounds in Middle-Earth, he would dare to break through even the door of death, but the tranquility of the underworld always reveals a creepy uneasiness.

Even Jinxian had to be careful, so he naturally didn't dare to intrude.

Finally, Wang Xuan finally set his sights on the central hall.

As the center of the Dragon Scale Formation area, it was the most likely exit, but it seemed that he was enveloped by an ominous qi, so he didn't enter.

Now, I have no choice but to make an adventurous investigation.

As soon as he arrived here, Wang Xuan raised his vigilance, holding the three strange and six ceremonial plates, rotating candle longan, and slowly walked towards the main hall.

Different from the middle-earth buildings, the stone palace buildings in the underworld are more magnificent and tall, with a hint of gloom in their solemnity.

There is no plaque in this hall, stepping on a hundred stone steps, Wang Xuan immediately saw a stone tablet standing at the entrance of the hall, on which was written the word "Lailai" in inscribed characters, but he didn't know what it meant.

In addition, there are two stone statues guarding the temple, with a bird body and six wings, and an owl head with a human face. They are the envoys of the Nine Serenities, the soul-hunting birds!

The gate of the temple may have been made of wood, but now it has been turned into fly ash. You can see through the gate that, like other buildings, the furniture and murals inside have long been turned into fly ash.

The difference is that there are two decaying and rusty bronze censers of the soul-hunting bird in the hall, and a statue of a god broke from the center and fell horizontally on the ground.

The statue is dressed in a luxurious imperial robe, and the eighteen pagodas behind it are radioactive to form a huge body, and under the feet is a lotus platform composed of many evil spirits and demons. The carvings are lifelike.

There are many potholes on it, which should be inlaid with precious talismans and spirit stones, and someone has picked them up completely.

Needless to say, it was the ghost emperor who shook the Three Realms back then, the Qisha Beiyin Emperor.

This ghost emperor has a simple and majestic face, with a long beard and awe-inspiring cheeks, and the domineering brows are exposed. He is actually a human face!
This kind of thing is very unusual.

In the Three Realms, although there are many human races, all over the world, and there are even natives above the nine heavens, but in terms of ancient history, they are far inferior to those wild ancient races such as Baimin and Dumu.

Many great powers in the Three Realms also came from the ancient race.

But what really shocked Wang Xuan was that this ghost emperor was somewhat similar in appearance to the emperor of Zhongtu!
What's going on here?

Wang Xuan frowned, his heart was full of doubts.

Looking back at what the emperor did in the fantasy world, there are indeed all sorts of strange things.

Its origin is mysterious, summoning the nine-day deserted island to fall into the Eastern Sea Islands, and nailing the dragon veins of the middle-earth dragon, preventing it from soaring. The boundless spiritual energy nourishes thousands of creatures, and the ancestors of the human race are all related to it...

It can be said that Middle-earth was opened up by himself.

But judging from the evil thoughts of the three corpses in the underground treasure house in Southern Xinjiang, the other party should be breaking through the Golden Immortal, far from having such great power to open up the world.

Could it be a blood relationship?
In this way, it makes sense.

The Qisha Northern Yin Emperor was rumored to be from Central Juntian, because he was not ascended to the position of Tianzun, he entered Jiuyou angrily and turned into a ghost emperor.

No one knows the exact time of the emperor's reign, but it can probably be deduced that the time when he disappeared was exactly when the Jiuyou Hades was breached by the heavenly court...

Could it be his heir?

A strange thought popped up in Wang Xuan's mind, and he shook his head slightly.

No matter what the origin of the other party is, they are all dead.

What is more important right now is to survive the catastrophe of Middle-earth smoothly, besides, getting involved with this kind of person is a big trouble.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan strode into the hall.

Call ~
As soon as he entered the hall, the surrounding environment changed drastically in an instant. The wind whizzed and rolled up the dust, and the light became dim at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon he could not see his fingers.

Wang Xuan was startled, and quickly backed away.

However, there is no door in the rear, it has long been engulfed by darkness, like a void, empty, with nothing left, right, left, or right.

puff!puff!
In the darkness, two light blue flames rose.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be the two ecstasy bird incense burners, something burning inside, through the rusty and hollowed-out furnace cover, it looked dim and uncertain in the dark.

Through the dim fire, only bluestone slabs around the incense burner can be seen.

Wang Xuan only felt that his feet were empty, he quickly flew up into the sky with Yu Qi, and landed on the stone slab illuminated by the faint fire, his eyes were cloudy and he looked around.

He was all too familiar with this situation.

It is the road to the souls of the dead who entered the second floor of Jiuyou.

The difference is that there is no stone bridge leading to the unknown here, only under the candlelight, the land with a radius of several feet turns into a candlestick.

At the same time, rustling voices sounded again in the darkness, as if someone was whispering in the ear...

Wang Xuan's complexion changed, and he quickly put the Nine Nether Giant Spirit leather on his body, and the drowsy feeling disappeared.

He looked at the darkness and void around him, his eyes became serious.

Since entering this Nine Nether Hades, he has been restrained everywhere, and there are too many things beyond his understanding, making it difficult to move an inch.

A way must be found...

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he quickly sat cross-legged, squeezed the magic formula, and entered the illusion of the Star Dou Divine Tree.

Sure enough, now it's another scene.

He is still at the bottom of the lake at this time, but he has entered the world of Zhulong Xiaoqian, like a huge dragon-shaped glazed cover, isolating the lake water.

And in the surrounding area, there are vines with curved tentacles, like arrays and dragon scales, densely arranged towards the distance...

When Wang Xuan suddenly realized, his scalp was numb.

This underworld is really not simple, the candle dragon sun moon yin and yang formation is only on the surface, but in the dark it is the body of the Nine Nether Great God turned into a formation.

If you guessed right, these halls are the transmission centers leading to each dragon scale formation area.

Maybe it can lead to the third layer of Jiuyou, which is deeper...

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help being curious about the people who built Hades.

This is equivalent to stealing the power of the innate great god.

If the soul-hunting bird is also used by it to attract the souls of the three worlds to enter this place, it will be the way to steal the sky and enforce the law on behalf of the sky!
No wonder he dared to resist the Heavenly Court.

Suppressing the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, Wang Xuan continued to observe.

All the tentacles of the vines here are arranged in the shape of dragon scales. It is not clear what formation was used, but the center of the formation must be the candlestick in the mouth of the candle dragon.

But that's just the center, ordinary people travel between the various formation areas, it's impossible for the ghost emperor to keep an eye on this matter all the time, he must have divided part of the power of the formation.

This is also an extremely clever city defense arrangement.

If the underworld is invaded, the ghost emperor only needs to use the seven evil towers to close the center, and the enemies will be divided into areas, and no matter how many people are, they can defeat them one by one.

But now, the formation is activated again, which means that even without the center, this part of the function is still functioning normally.

If it's him, he must get a warrant or something...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.Quickly exit the illusion.Turned to look to the other side.

In the darkness, apart from the area under his feet, there was also a censer of the Ecstasy Bird shining faintly on the opposite side, illuminating a solid area in the void.

Although there is no access token, this item may be the key to breaking the situation.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan rotated the longan candle and carefully observed the structure of the incense burner.

The outside of this thing has long been decayed, emitting a faint light. It is a stone candlestick in the center of the incense burner, but it is the size of a palm, and its shape is exactly the same as the candlestick in the candle dragon's mouth.

Click!

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan split open the censer, held the candlestick in his hand, and burned it with cold flames, with his current body of a six-armed general, he could feel the bone-chilling coldness.

Holding the candlestick in his hand, he leaned forward.

Sure enough, as the light deflected, the bluestone floor reappeared in the dark void, clean and completely different from the original dusty hall floor.

Wang Xuan took a deep breath, and walked forward holding the candlestick.

He seems to have returned to the road of the dead again. The difference is that this time there is no stone bridge restriction, and he can go back and forth from left to right.

Soon, the seductive bird censer behind you was getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the darkness...

Of course, Wang Xuan didn't rush in randomly.

Every time he walked for a while, he would enter the illusion of the Star Dou Divine Tree, and adjust his direction while watching the position of the vine tentacles.

After three sticks of incense, the moment he stepped into the formation.

puff!
A palm of fire suddenly lit up, like a beacon in the dark night.

There was joy in Wang Xuan's eyes, and he stepped forward quickly.

Just when he stepped into the bright area of ​​the dark fire, there was a strong wind around him, and the light suddenly brightened. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at another hall.

Wang Xuan looked at the censer, thoughtfully.

These halls should be able to go back and forth with each other, but because he used a tricky method, it can only be triggered passively, which becomes a one-way journey.

Not only that.

There is only one candlestick left here, and there are dense footprints in the ground, indicating that someone has already come here and discovered this method.

so many footprints...

Wang Xuan was thoughtful, according to the information, when Heavenly King Gouyuan entered the second floor of Jiuyou, he brought all the private troops from his Heavenly Palace with him, but he did not show up on the battlefield before.

Not surprisingly, it is these heavenly soldiers.

If it had come earlier, a big battle would have been inevitable.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan strode out of the hall.

Sure enough, it has arrived in another area.

Here is also the periphery, most of the people who live here are the lower-level army of Hades, and they can't find anything of value.

The difference is that it has obviously experienced a war here, more than half of the houses are in ruins, and half of the wreckage of the heavenly floating ship crashed on the square in front of the temple.

Ho ho!

In the square, a dark wind suddenly rose, and several wolf-headed zombies crawled out of the ruins with blue flames all over their bodies.

Wang Xuan frowned, turned around and left.

It is meaningless to kill these zombies, the battle outside may decide the winner at any time, and no matter who gets the Seven Evil Pagoda, it will not be a good thing for him.

Call ~
There was a strong gust of wind in the hall, and Emperor Xuan had disappeared without a trace.

Stepping into the Void Road of Hades again, Wang Xuan was already at his fingertips, and he became much more courageous. He protected the candlestick with one hand while speeding up, piercing the darkness like a stream of light.

This time, he had a plan in mind, completely abandoned the outer slums, and continued to go deeper into the central area along the Dragon's Back of Hades.

Three hours later, Wang Xuan stopped.

In front of you is the area close to the neck of the candle dragon. The vine tentacles here are larger. Obviously, they live in the upper layer of the ancient Hades, so it is worth exploring.

Familiar with the familiar way, step into the range of the array.

puff!puff!
In the darkness, two ghostly flames rose into the sky.

Wang Xuan's eyes lit up immediately.

The two incense burners here are not only three feet high, but also maintain the aura, the golden light is shining, and the surface is radiant. I don't know what kind of spiritual material it is, but it can survive this long time.

A few steps forward, the light brightens.

A grand hall appeared in front of my eyes, with towering jade pillars as thick as ten people supporting the beams, and glazed coiled dragons surrounding the pillars above, the dense spiritual energy formed a white mist on the ground, like a fairyland, with a vision...

However, before Wang Xuan saw it clearly, his expression changed, he restrained his breath, and hid behind the main hall door.

Outside, the air surged and the earth trembled, accompanied by a maniacal laughter, "Hahaha, you are all going to die!"

Xiao soil? !
The corners of Wang Xuan's eyes twitched slightly, why is this old monster not dead yet?

What was fighting him was the private army of the Gouyuan Heavenly King's Mansion, numbering at least tens of thousands, forming a network formation in the air, with banners unfurling, and clouds of five-colored poison billowing.

"Array, Falling Star!"

There was an angry shout in the air.

I saw several ballistas flying up into the sky, the texture was like white jade, and the golden carved dragons were cruising on the surface of the ballista like living things, swallowing spiritual fire in their mouths, it was the Heavenly Court Falling Star Crossbow that Wang Xuan had seen.

His face changed.

These heavenly king's private army obviously suffered a lot of losses, and the ground was already full of dead bodies, so they dared to use this big killing weapon in anger.

You must know that this thing can disturb the earth's veins. Once it is hit, the entire area may be turned into scorched earth.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan rushed towards the Haunting Bird Incense Burner without any hesitation.After the strong wind passed, the figure disappeared without a trace.

Such a big movement has been noticed by both sides in the war.

Xiao Tu was already insane, he didn't care at all, with a wave of his hand, five colors of brilliance shot up into the sky around him, obviously he wanted to use the killer move that reversed the five elements.

The expression of the leader of the air private army changed. Although he knew that someone had sneaked in, he couldn't care less about it at this time.

With an order, the terrifying star light fell immediately.

boom!
In an instant, the sky and the earth were white...

……

On the other side, Emperor Xuan had already appeared in another hall.

He looked into the distance. The Falling Star Crossbow was indeed terrifying. Even though it was separated by two areas, he could still feel the ground trembling under his feet.

He shook his head slightly, a little speechless.

Everyone has a killer move. If he uses his trump card, he may not be afraid of those two parties, but if he uses it here, the most fearful thing is to provoke Zhulong's counterattack.

Who knows what the consequences will be.

Just in case, search as soon as possible.

He looked around the main hall, and it was no different from the main hall just now. They were all rare treasures, and they were obviously extraordinary things that could be preserved to this day.

The huge wooden gate of this hall is still intact, and it is unknown what kind of spiritual wood it is, it is vermilion in color, the surface texture looks like dragon scales, and it exudes a faint fragrance.

And looking outside the door, Wang Xuan was stunned.

Needless to say, the surrounding palaces were prosperous, but what surprised him was the Baizhang statue standing on the square in front of the palace.

Dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, with a human-like face, but with only one vertical eye, and two twisted horns on his forehead.

This is... Holy Nether Glazed Venerable? !

Wang Xuan was stunned, and a thought popped up in his heart.

Rumor has it that the Nether Glazed Venerable was once one of the ten adopted sons of the Ghost Emperor, known as the Ghost King.

Could it be that this is his mansion...
