Ao Xian was slapped to the ground by Feng Xingyao and almost lost his soul.

He finally realized how powerful the man in front of him was. Although he felt indignant, he had no choice but to retreat.

Otherwise, he would also die at the hands of the other party!

"Retreat!" Ao Xian almost gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice.

The red-clothed female Hades general Shang Ling was also seriously injured. After hearing Ao Xian's words, she did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurriedly led her men to evacuate the place.

Even the five Hades generals working together couldn't capture this mysterious man...

Where on earth did Qi Yan bring in reinforcements? !

Why did he get to know the people from the demon race?

The citizens in the surrounding city hid in their houses like frightened birds. When they witnessed this thrilling scene, the surprise that surged in their hearts was like surging waves. Lord Qi Yan is back!

Moreover, they brought such powerful help!

They watched Ao Xian and others retreat in a panic, and when they were about to rush out to warmly welcome Lord Qi Yan's triumphant return, unexpectedly, Lord Qi Yan raised his hand as steady as a mountain and made a gesture.

That gesture was telling them - be patient and wait for the king's return!

The citizens also calmed down a little.

There was no impulsive rushing out.

…

All the soldiers guarding the teleportation pavilion had run away, and now there were only three of them left in the pavilion.

They entered the teleportation pavilion. Chen Yan turned her head to look at Qi Yan and said, "Now, shouldn't you tell us where your king went?"

After what happened just now, Qi Yan's doubts about them had completely dissipated.

He finally confessed, "I suspect the King has gone to the Hell Layer of the Spirit Realm. Within the Hell Layer, there's a forbidden area that only the King can enter. No one else can. If the King needs to recover from his injuries, the Hell Layer is the best place to go."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Feng Xingyao noticed her mood change.

Chen Yan raised her eyes to look at Feng Xingyao, pursed her lips and said: "Those who are not ghosts and those who cannot cultivate ghost power cannot enter the hell layer."

Feng Xingyao was stunned for a moment, "So, I can't enter the hell layer?"

Qi Yan also remembered this. His face was slightly serious and he nodded, saying, "Master Feng, you can't enter the Hell Layer without cultivating ghost power. However, you can cultivate now. Even if you have only cultivated to the first level of the Underworld, you can enter."

Considering Master Feng's powerful strength, he must have extremely strong talent for cultivation, so he must be able to cultivate ghost power.

However, Feng Xingyao said, "I can't cultivate ghost power."

Chen Yan looked up at him. She originally thought that he didn't want to cultivate ghost power, but the truth was that he was unable to cultivate ghost power.

Qi Yan was also shocked, "How is it possible?"

Doesn’t this mean that Master Feng cannot enter the spiritual realm hell layer with them?

In the spiritual realm of hell, the danger is even more unpredictable.

If an ordinary ghost wants to reach the forbidden area of ​​hell, he needs to cross eighteen levels of purgatory, and each level of purgatory is extremely dangerous.

but……

The Red Spirit King did not need to cross the eighteen levels of purgatory. She could be teleported directly into the forbidden area because she had already had a direct connection with the forbidden area.

If an ordinary ghost enters it, he will die if he is not careful.

Therefore, even if King Zhong Pei and King Zhan Di sent people into the spiritual realm hell to hunt down the Red Spirit King, they would still need to cross eighteen levels of purgatory before reaching the outside of the forbidden area.

Many people enter the hell layer, but only a few succeed in coming out.

Feng Xingyao looked at Qi Yan and smiled faintly, "General Qi Ming, I'm afraid we have to go our separate ways. My wife and I will go to the observatory first, and you can go to the Hell Layer to find the Red Spirit King."

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he nodded.

At this time, Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at Feng Xingyao, "You don't want me to enter the hell layer?"

Feng Xingyao explained seriously, "It's very dangerous in there. I won't feel at ease if I'm not with you."

"I understand what you mean." Chen Yan nodded, and then she changed the subject, "It's just that I want to enter the hell layer."

Feng Xingyao frowned.

"Why?"

"Because I'm also taking this opportunity to find a soul."

"Soul?" Feng Xingyao pursed his lips. "Is it very important to you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan met his gaze without hesitation and nodded seriously: "It is very important to me. I have said before that I will not abandon it."

Feng Xingyao was inexplicably concerned, "What kind of spirit is it?"

Chen Yan's mind flashed back to the time when she attacked the Hengzhou Lu family. Among the ghosts she summoned was a little girl who could transform into a long blade...

She didn't recognize the little girl then, but now she remembered her.

she is……

"The sword spirit of Tianzhou Divine Sword." She looked at Feng Xingyao, her eyes slightly warm and her voice cold.

Feng Xingyao was stunned. No wonder a divine weapon like the Tianzhou Divine Sword had no core sword spirit. It turned out to be in the hell layer of the underworld.

He saw the sadness and grief that was hard to conceal in Chen Yan's eyes, and thought that her previous life might have been even harder than he imagined, and his heart seemed to be cut by a sharp knife.

"Has she been with you for a long time?"

"Um."

Qi Yan overheard their conversation and interrupted, "The sword spirit's appearance in the Hell Layer indicates that it has begun to transform into a vengeful ghost. This type of sword spirit is extremely dangerous because it has lost all reason and will go crazy from time to time, becoming uncontrollable."

He added, "Moreover, it is extremely difficult to cleanse the resentment of this kind of sword spirit ghost. If the resentment cannot be cleansed, it will be trapped in the hell layer and unable to escape."

The smoke is naturally clear.

At this time, Qi Yan asked again: "Why is your sword spirit in the Hell Layer?"

Chen Yan was a little dazed, she couldn't remember this part of her memory yet.

So, she couldn't give an answer.

The reasons why a sword spirit becomes a vengeful ghost are generally: first, it suffers a severe backlash after being severely damaged, and is corroded by vengeance; second, it sacrifices its spirit to the sword, and the spirit disperses, unable to gather, and can only be gathered by vengeance; third, the master of the sword spirit dies, and the sword spirit turns to vengeance...

Feng Xingyao lowered his eyes to look at her, tightened his grip on her hand, and said solemnly, "Ayan, are you sure you want to enter the Hell Layer at this time? It's full of dangers. If I'm not by your side..."

Chen Yan interrupted him and said, "You are not always by my side, and I don't want to hide behind you and be protected by you every time."

Feng Xingyao was stunned. He pursed his lips, but before he could speak, he heard her say something else.

"Yao, I want to protect you in the future too."

Feng Xingyao's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little bit unbelievable. At this moment, he only felt a warm current in his heart, which made him unconsciously curl up the corners of his lips.

No one ever said anything about protecting him.

Everyone wants his protection.

Feng Xingyao asked in a somewhat unnatural tone: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think what I said is false?" Chen Yan asked back.

After a pause, she gave an affirmative answer: "It's true."
