True Immortal of the Netherworld

In front of the vermilion Chuanlu Hall, two young men stood.

The one on the left has a handsome appearance and a slender body. He carries a blue sword box on his shoulder, with a sword hidden in it. The young man in the long sleeves and wide robe looks like water, and he has a certain air of Taoist immortality. He is Liu Haiyu.

The one on the right has a skeleton of white bones lying on his back. The young man has a lean body with no flesh, and his exposed skin has a light blue glow. The young man's whole body exudes the aura of ghost, it is Gui Gu Zan.

The two stood together, but were separated by a few feet. I don't know if it was because their temperaments didn't match or because their appearance was so different.

In the Zhongyuan Continent, monks from the Ghost Dao lineage like to rely on the power of Ghost Dao to practice, but monks from the Dao Sect lineage are good at catching ghosts. The two have always disliked each other.

Just a thousand years ago, ghost monks were completely defined as evil cultivators. Later, due to the continuous rise of the Ghost Sect headed by the Tiangui Sect and occupying a place in the northern region of the Zhongyuan Continent, the Ghost Sect coexisted openly and openly with other sects and factions.

This time, in order to complete the task of attacking Chuanlu Palace, Liu Haiyu and Guigu Zan had to cooperate closely.

But they have similarities in their personalities. They talk less and appear cold.

As a genius highly praised by Qinglian Dojo, Liu Haiyu has a sense of arrogance in his bones and looks arrogant from the inside out, so he doesn't talk much on weekdays.

Guigu Zan was born in the Guigu family of the Tiangui Sect, but he was considered a loser with only false spiritual veins when he was born, and was not welcomed by his tribe and friends. He is used to being alone and only likes to be with his skeleton clone, so he talks little.

Liu Haiyu and Guigu Zan looked at each other.

"This is the Chuanlu Hall, let's go in." The tone of the two was surprisingly consistent, and they were speaking in unison.

No more words.

The two of them simultaneously picked up the talisman in their hands and pasted it on the vermilion door of the Chuanlu Palace.

Snapped! There was a clear sound and the movements were consistent.

Next, the two cast spells according to the secret words of the talisman told by Lan Xingjun. The surface of the talisman lit up in three colors of red, yellow and green, and clusters of three-color runes were emitted, gradually matching the sealing formation on the surface of the gate of Chuanyu Palace. Fusion.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

There is an electric dragon wandering on the surface of the sealing formation, and the vermilion gate trembles continuously.

Squeak!

The scarlet gate is open.

Standing outside the door, all they could see was chaos. Liu Haiyu and Gui Gu Zan entered side by side, walking in unison.

When the two of them entered Chuanlu Hall, the vermilion door behind them creaked and closed on its own.

In front of the two of them, there was a different scenery.

The Chuanlu Palace is not a palace with carved beams and columns, but a different space that reflects the power of the stars.

In the different space, mountains, rocks, vegetation and trees are all available.

Miraculously, there are clusters of stars rolling on the surfaces of these mountains, rocks, grass and trees, as if they are covered with jewelry.

At the highest point of the space, the stars in the sky are connected into an array, like a big net covering the world below.

There seems to be a passage in the depths of the space, which is slightly dark and cannot be seen at a glance.

...

Deep in Chuanlu Palace.

In an open place, a figure sat with his back on a boulder about a foot high. The figure was wearing a black Taoist robe and a Taoist crown painted with lotus petals on his head. He looked like a male Taoist.

The black-clothed Taoist remained motionless, wondering if he was counting the stars in the sky or the stars of the day were looking at him.

He was alone and seemed to be one with the stone beneath him. The starlight fell on his body, like water, a little cold.

For a long time, there was no sound.

At this time, behind the Taoist in black, a silent footsteps was approaching him from behind step by step.

Getting closer.

Not far away, a pair of hands hidden in the wide white cuffs reached out from behind like snakes.

Those hands quickly covered the eyes of the Taoist in black from behind.

"Guess who I am." A gentle voice sounded, it was a man.

There was silence for a long while.

"It's me, brother, you can't guess it every time."

With that said, the visitor turned to the front. He was a Taoist in white with regular features, a thin face and dull skin.

But the Taoist in black was still sitting on the stone blankly, his eyes were blurred, his pupils were dull, and his skin was dark gray and lifeless.

In comparison, the faces of the black-robed Taoist and the white-robed Taoist were almost 70% similar, and they looked like they were only in their twenties.

But the most similar and weirdest thing is that they both have two daggers stuck in their hearts, with the sword tips inserted directly into their hearts.

There was no blood on the wound on the black-clothed Taoist's chest, and the pair of daggers seemed to be growing in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, this Taoist in black should be a "dead man".

As for the sword in the white-clothed Taoist's chest, wet blood overflowed as he breathed, and the exposed half of the sword shone with pure light.

He is a living person.

But it is unheard of for someone to survive without dying when the tip of a sword is pierced into the heart.

The Taoist in white knelt on one knee in front of the Taoist in black, stretching out his hands to hug him, but they couldn't get too close because of the half-sword body in front of their chests.

The Taoist in white curled his lips, looking a little disappointed. He stretched out a palm to gently touch the Taoist in black's cheek, and said gently: "Brother, I know you know in your heart that I am here. Brother, are you a little cold?"

There was concern in the eyes of the Taoist in white, and he stretched out his hand to tie the collar of the Taoist in black, and said with a smile: "It will be warmer this way."

The Taoist in white looked into the eyes of the Taoist in black, lost in thought.

For a long time, there was no sound.

The Taoist in white stood up and looked up at the stars, thoughtfully. Then he murmured: "Brother, let me count the stars with you."

For a long time, there was no sound.

The dead cannot speak, but the living have nothing to say.

...

Buzz——

The two daggers stuck in the heart of the Taoist in white suddenly buzzed, breaking the silence of the day.

The white-clothed Taoist frowned: "Someone is here, two people. Are those guys from the Northern Territory who claim to be famous and upright chasing us here? How long have my brother and I been here? There are only stars in this world. There was no sunrise or sunset. I can’t remember how long it was. It might be a long time, or it might be a short time.”

The Taoist in white turned his head to look in a certain direction and uttered one word coldly: "Kill!"

Strangely, the Taoist in black sat up from the stone and stood beside the Taoist in white. His face was expressionless, his lips moved slightly, and he spat out vague words: "Kill!"

"With my brother by my side, I am never afraid of anything. Anyone who wants to kill me will be killed by me." The Taoist in white turned to look at the Taoist in black next to him, raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flickered. With a warm glow.

The eyes of the black-robed Taoist suddenly shone, powerful ghost aura emitted from his body, and the black Taoist robes outside him kept beating.

The starlight swayed like a sword, pouring out the murderous intent for a whole day.

...

Liu Haiyu and Guigu Zan entered the space inside the Chuanlu Hall, and searched deeper under the light of the stars.

"Before coming, the information provided by the great elder Lan Xingjun was that there was a powerful evil cultivator in the space of Chuanyu Palace, but the specific situation of the evil cultivator was not recorded. And we must kill the evil cultivator to find it. The road leading to the final champion hall.

But this space is so vast, when will we find it? We had only three days to complete the task. "Liu Haiyu said.

"Yes." The skeleton man lying on Guigu Zan's shoulder nodded.

"It will save some time if the two of us search separately. But that way, the risk will be much greater." Liu Haiyu said.

"Yes." The skeleton man lying on Guigu Zan's shoulder nodded.

"You don't seem to talk much." Liu Haiyu said with a slight smile.

"Yes." The skeleton man lying on Guigu Zan's shoulder nodded.

After a short while, Liu Haiyu and Guigu Zan gradually entered the depths of the space.

Liu Haiyu waved and took back several blue water talismans floating in front of him.

"I just used the Taoist path-finding technique, but I got nothing. The prohibition in the star space will suppress the distance of the path-finding technique. If the evil cultivator deliberately hides his whereabouts, it will be really difficult to find him."

The two had no choice but to stand still, because the space was too big, and if they walked on blindly, they would probably get lost in it.

At this time, the skeleton man lying on Guigu Zan's back suddenly became excited. It stretched out a bony finger, pointed in one direction, and moved its upper and lower jaws, making a rattling sound.

"We don't need to look for him anymore, that evil cultivator is here." Guigu Zan put down his hands that were clasped in front of his chest and clenched his fists.

After a while, the ground trembled, as if something huge was trampling on the ground.

Directly in front of the two of them, a dark ghostly aura surged over like a tide.

Amidst the billowing black ghostly energy, a strange man wearing a Taoist crown with a lotus petal pattern on his head and a black Taoist robe walked out.

The strange man in black robes has blurry eyes, dull pupils, and dark gray skin. There are two swords stuck in his heart, only the hilt and half of the sword body are exposed. The tip of the sword should be in the heart vein.

The black-robed weirdo stood still and blocked the path of Liu Haiyu and Gui Gu Zan, but said nothing.

And the moment the black-robed weirdo appeared, the Ruoshui sword in the sword case behind Liu Haiyu seemed to sense something and made a buzzing sword sound.

Liu Haiyu molded the hilt of the sword with one hand, and Ruoshui Jian calmed down.

"This?" Liu Haiyu looked at the two daggers stuck in the chest of the black-robed weirdo, frowned, and whispered: "The two swords on this weirdo came from the Qinglian Dojo, and they are actually related to the Ruoshui sword behind me. , otherwise there would be no resonance of sword intent.”

Guigu Zan said: "He is not a human being."

Liu Haiyu asked: "How can we see that this weird man has spiritual power fluctuations in his body?"

Guigu Zan thought for a while, and then said: "Or it would be more accurate to say that he is a living dead. This is a forbidden ghost technique, called the Puppet Technique. This guy's condition is between a puppet and a dead person, and his soul has been The seal cannot be reincarnated within the body. Looking at the pair of swords stuck in his heart, it stands to reason that this guy should have an owner hidden behind him. Disciple, I also practice the forbidden art of the ghost realm, so I know it well."

The skeleton man lying on Gui Gu Zan's back extended his thumb to give his master a thumbs up.

Liu Haiyu nodded and said through the message: "Guigu Zan, I didn't expect you to be able to say so many words. This time, I believe you. Listening to what you say, the weirdo opposite is just a puppet, and behind it There is someone else. And the person behind is probably the evil cultivator we are looking for."

Guigu Zan sent a message: "That's probably it. Let me go over and kill this weirdo in black robe. When the people behind the scenes take action, you can intercept him. To prevent the people behind the scenes from making a sneak attack in the dark."

Liu Haiyu said: "Let me see, look at the Taoist robes worn by this black-robed weirdo and the Taoist sword stuck on his chest. He was probably a disciple of the Qinglian Dojo and a sword cultivator."

Guigu Zan nodded, "That's fine."
