“Why has my power increased so much in this Underworld?”
Li Xuan asked, his eyes sparkling with a strange glow, “Also, don’t you possess the divine skill of Diting? Wouldn’t you know when I mastered the Cold Evil?”
“The skill of Diting, is it something I can use as I want? Even if I want to, without anyone backing me, would I dare to perceive everything? And I particularly wouldn’t dare to probe you. If I really knew everything, I would have been flayed and cooked long ago, made into a dog meat hot pot.”
Tingtian Ao could clearly discern the probing in his words and responded with disdain. “As for your first question, where do you think we are? This is the Underworld, home to the ghosts. Your strength increases here in the Nether Realm because your Primordial Spirit has grown stronger. Even though the quality of your spirit remains average, its quantity now is about nine times that of ordinary people. It’s bewildering how there’s someone like you in this world.”
Tingtian Ao was too lazy to ask Li Xuan how he had mastered Yinsha. If Li Xuan wasn’t answering, couldn’t it guess the reason itself?
It lifted its head, looking up at the red-robed female ghost behind Li Xuan, tail wagging furiously. Bright eyes revealed a flattering expression as it spoke, “Truly deserving of the Emperor’s resources, even at this time, you’ve managed to cultivate the Frozen Cold! With such divine skills, even with only the third house level, you can suppress many evil spirits of the sixth house level in this Underworld.”
They spoke, Xue Yunrou, hearing nothing, was naturally curious but, constrained by her oath, she didn’t question them. On her delicate face, there was a trace of helplessness, “Can we proceed, sirs?”
Only then did Tingtian Ao retract its gaze from the red-robed female ghost, sighing non-stop. “Li Xuan, I really don’t know what kind of luck you had to connect with this distinguished one. If the accomplished masters confined to the Twelfth Layer Stage knew, they’d all want to slaughter you right now. With her help, even the worst of them could ascend to the heavenly level in three to five years.”
After Yue Qianqian, this was the second person speaking like this to Li Xuan, whose face also slightly tightened: “Thank you!”
How could he not know that Tingtian Ao had Xue Yunrou take an oath ahead of time and conjured a spell to obfuscate her senses so that she could neither see nor hear, all to help him conceal the existence of the red-robed female ghost?

While this was something Tingtian Ao should have done, it also made it obvious that Master Chenghuang had no ulterior motives for his Guardian Spirit.
Then, Li Xuan sighed again, “But if Mr. Ao could help me get rid of her, or give me more pointers on how to resolve the Yinsha, I would be even more thankful.”
The Guardian Spirit from royal lineage was good, but Li Xuan considered his own life more important.
Everyone knew that dying without being able to spend your riches was the most pitiful thing in the world.
“You’re just trying to reap benefits and yet you’re still playing the saint’s part. Do you know how much this esteemed one has concealed herself and sacrificed for you? As for resolving the Yinsha, if I knew that, I wouldn’t be a dog anymore——”
As Tingtian Ao was talking, its eyes suddenly became stern: “Move out of the way!”
At that moment, a green liquid was sprayed at them from ahead. Li Xuan was taken aback and just managed to dodge. But when he looked back, he noticed a large area had been corroded where the liquid fell.
Following that was a towering giant holding a mace, about four feet high, along with four black armored figures flying from the sky. They engaged in a fierce battle with a harsh green giant frog that leapt from a crevice.
The former was another Divine General worshipped at the Duchenghuang Temple. The four in black were Yeyoushens. The frog on the other hand, was an unknown monster. It looked like a bullfrog but if one looked closely, they would find that it was covered with human fingers.
“Demons!”
Li Xuan’s scalp tingled and his heart skipped a beat.
The so-called ‘demon’ is a combination of the strengths and divine skills of monsters and ghosts, making them extremely fearsome.
This ‘Bullfrog’, is a demon of the seventh house level, its strength is far beyond the ‘Parrot Conch’ that he and Xue Yunrou had just killed together.
If his reaction just now had been a tad slower, he might have turned into pus.
This made Li Xuan feel his skin crawl, feeling that within the Underworld, dangers lurked everywhere, it was extremely treacherous.
He thought that if he had the means to leave this underworld, he might just flee and run for his life. He now seriously doubted whether what Master Chenghuang wanted him to do was something within his capabilities.
“Mr. Ao, what’s going on in this underground currently? Monsters attacking the city?” Li Xuan, gripping his waist saber, inquired with puzzled eyes: “Is it related to the so-called Jin Dynasty’s 660 years and coinciding with Yin year and Yin day?”
Off to the side, Xue Yunrou also perked up her ears at this point. As long as it didn’t involve the red-dressed female ghost, it seemed she could hear both of their conversations.
Tingtian Ao shook his head: “There is a little relation, but it’s not just that, the most important reason is Dasheng Pass, and a large tomb from three hundred years ago. Do you know the size and shape of this Nanjing Underworld?”
Li Xuan naturally had no idea about this, while Xue Yunrou pondered: “I know a little. It is said that at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the Nanjing underworld only spanned fifteen miles from east to west and twenty miles from north to south. But over the past three hundred years, as Nanjing’s population grew denser, the Nanjing underworld also expanded. Apart from Jinling city, the surrounding Yin soil expanded by over three hundred miles, encompassing many neighboring cities and towns.”
“This also included Dasheng Pass fifty miles to our west, and the tomb of the Chen Han soldiers further west, which is why trouble ensued.”
Tingtian Ao turned to look at the puzzled Li Xuan: “The tomb I’m referring to isn’t the one at Poyang Lake, but the one next to Dasheng Pass. The former Tai Emperor of Jin used strategy, luring Prince Han Chen Liang to lead nearly a million soldiers down the river, and ambushed them.
In the end, Chen Han suffered a crushing defeat before Dasheng Pass, with nearly three hundred thousand soldiers buried here. It took another two years for Chen Han to recover, and then he fought with the Great Ancestor at Poyang. Therefore, in terms of fierce energy, this tomb of Chen Han soldiers at Dasheng Pass exceeds that of Poyang lake.”
At this time, Tingtian Ao had already brought Li Xuan to a huge city gate.
The style of this gate and the city wall were similar to Nanjing City, but they also gave off a sense of illusion. Li Xuan did not look into it closely; what intrigued him more was what Tingtian Ao had to say: “So, is there something wrong with the tomb of Chen Han soldiers at Dasheng Pass?”
“There’s a big problem. Today, half of this tomb has even fallen into the Nether Realm, situated between the Yin and Yang realms. In the past, the Jinling underworld was self-contained and isolated from the Humane Realm, and only our Chenghuang’s errands could come and go at will. But now, besides Jinling underworld, another connection to the Humane Realm, the tomb of the Chen Han Soldiers located between Yin and Yang, has come into being. The tomb was initially sealed and suppressed by the Court, and there was no problem. But not long ago…–”
As Tingtian Ao was speaking, he came to the door of the Underworld, touched the door with his toe, and opened the gigantic wooden door with a creaking sound.
“For unknown reasons, recently countless monsters that were prowling in the outskirts have come into this underworld, unknown who drove them. They have formed a siege on the city, with inscrutable intentions.”
The sound of Tingtian Ao’s voice paused: “Previously, didn’t you ask me why there were no candles lit in front of the hall of Master’s shrine? The reason is that we no longer have extra divine power to waste for the suppression of the Underworld. Now the Underworld is leaking everywhere, even Master Chenghuang is strapped.”
Li Xuan, looking through the crack of the door and out into the exterior, turned pale and gasped for breath.
He saw a row of monsters with horrifying appearances standing three thousand feet outside the gate, as far as the eyes could see, there seemed to be no end.
In this bright and peaceful world, could it be that there were so many evil spirits?
He was known for being fearless, even audaciously so. But even now, Li Xuan could not help but shiver in fright.
“Mr. Ao, wouldn’t the task that Master Chenghuang wanted me to do be outside this city, would it?”
