No one had ever thought that the underground demon realm would actually collapse. Thousands of demon beasts inside were no longer sealed by the barriers and fled madly. Almost all the monks who escaped alive were covered in dust.

Song Lianyi cast a body cleansing spell on herself and looked around. Almost all the monks who had escaped were gathered in this area. His eyes swept through the crowd, and when he finally saw a group of monks wearing the uniforms of Tianshui Sect disciples, his eyes lit up slightly, but soon his eyes became surprised.

"Young Master, let's leave here quickly, or the world will be in chaos."

Song Lianyi seemed not to hear the voice of the maid next to him. He walked quickly to the group of cultivators from Tianshui Sect, and his eyes swept across their faces one by one, finally settling on one place.

He saw Xue Danrong lying on the back of the eldest senior brother of the Tianshui Sect. Xue Danrong was obviously unconscious, and his hanging hands were covered in blood.

The eldest senior brother was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl suddenly blocking his way, and then he whispered, "Miss, please let me go. My junior brother is injured and needs to return to the sect as soon as possible."

"Where is Fang Chaozhou? Where is he?" Song Lianyi asked suddenly.

The expression on the eldest brother's face changed instantly, the corners of his lips tightened, and he said nothing. Du Yunxi, who came over to check on his junior brother, was stunned when he heard this. He looked around, "Yes, where is the second senior brother?"

The Sixth Junior Brother, who was standing next to the Big Brother, lowered his head, his voice faintly tearful, "We encountered a strange thing, and the Second Senior Brother...he was dragged underground by that strange thing, and we didn't...we didn't have time...to save the Second Senior Brother."

"What?!" Du Yunxi was stunned.

The eldest brother took a deep breath and said, "This is my fault. I will apologize to Master when we return to the sect."

When Song Lianyi heard what his sixth junior brother said, his face changed slightly. He turned his head to look at the collapsed entrance to the underground demon realm and couldn't help but take a step towards that direction, but at this time his maid held him back.

"Young Master, if you go in now, you will die. Young Master, if you don't want to think about yourself, you should also think about the abbot."

Song Lianyi didn't say anything. Finally, the maids looked at each other and dragged the person away.

Du Yunxi hadn't reacted yet. He grabbed Sixth Senior Brother's arm and asked, "What do you mean you don't have time to save Second Senior Brother? Is he still in there?"

The Sixth Junior Brother turned his face away and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, please don't ask anymore."

"Silence, count the number of people, and prepare to return." The eldest brother's words seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.

On the Huali Mountain of Tianshui Sect, a man in white who was in meditation quietly opened his eyes. He looked up at the sunlight coming in from the window, and after a while, he stood up and walked out.

The white cat guarding the door saw the man go out, and surprise flashed in its round mandarin duck eyes. It meowed twice at the man.

The man didn't look at it, but just looked outside. After a while, several people came riding on golden-winged birds. They were the elders of the five peaks of Tianshui Sect.

The leader was the elder of Yizhi Peak, Fang Chaozhou's master Cheng Hongyi.

When Cheng Hongyi saw the man standing under the eaves, he walked faster and bowed, "I didn't want to disturb Master's meditation, but this matter is serious, so I have to report it to Master."

Zhongli Yueshui glanced at Cheng Hongyi lightly, "What's the matter?"

"It's about the underground demon realm. For some unknown reason, the underground demon realm collapsed, and the demon beasts inside escaped. Most of them fled to the mortal world, including many ferocious beasts. According to news from my disciples, traces of Taowu appeared in the mortal world." Cheng Hongyi paused, "Two hundred years ago, Taowu was a disaster to the human world, and it was Master who stepped in and personally locked Taowu in the underground demon realm. Now that it has escaped, I'm afraid only Master can subdue it."

Taowu is an extremely ferocious monster that can travel a thousand miles a day and loves to eat humans. Two hundred years ago, it appeared in the mortal world and would swallow anyone it saw. Finally, Zhongli Yueshui took action, sealed Taowu, suppressed its spiritual power, and threw it into the underground demon realm to be used as a tool for training monks.

As long as it is in the underground demon realm, its cultivation will always be suppressed, but the underground demon realm has been destroyed, and its cultivation may be even stronger than it was two hundred years ago.

Zhongli Yueshui frowned slightly after hearing what Wan Hongyi said. There are tens of thousands of monsters in the underground demon realm. If any one of them escapes to the mortal world, it can cause disaster, not to mention a ferocious beast like Taowu.

"Then I'll go to the mortal world," he said.

Cheng Hongyi said: "I will also send all the cultivators above the Jindan level to subdue the demon, but most of them have gone to the underground demon realm this time, so it may take some time for them to return to the sect."

"Those who are injured can come back, but those who are not injured don't need to come back, just go to the mortal world." Zhongli Yueshui ordered in a cold voice, and the tone of the second half of the sentence was obviously softer, "Send a message to Fang Chaozhou later, and ask him to go with me. He has too little experience, and this is a good opportunity."

But as soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Hongyi, who was standing in front of him, knelt directly on the ground. The other four elders saw that their eldest brother had knelt down, and they also knelt down hurriedly.

Zhongli Yueshui looked at Cheng Hongyi who suddenly knelt down, his eyes changed slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Cheng Hongyi say: "Master, Chaozhou...Chaozhou, that child, didn't make it out."

"Failed to come out? What does that mean?" Zhongli Yueshui stared at the disciple in front of him.

Tu Bai next to him immediately turned into a white tiger, roaring at Cheng Hongyi and baring his teeth.

Cheng Hongyi closed his eyes. "When the underground demon realm collapsed, Chao Zhou's legs were caught by the demon beast inside and he was dragged underground, so he couldn't get out of the underground demon realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli Yueshui walked out. A golden-winged bird circled over and landed in front of him in an instant. He stopped in front of the golden-winged bird, then turned around and looked at the disciples who were still kneeling on the ground. "All disciples who join the sect have life cards. Where is his life card?"

Cheng Hongyi paused for a moment before taking out a jade horoscope from his sleeve. On the front of the horoscope was Fang Chaozhou's name, and on the back was his date of birth. When Zhongli Yueshui saw the fate card, he directly sucked the thing into his hand.

If the life card is there, it proves that the person is still alive. If the person is dead, the life card will be broken into two halves.

However, the light on this life plate was getting dimmer and dimmer, proving that Fang Chaozhou was very weak at the moment.

But he is alive.

But at this moment, the sound transmission note on the fourth elder lit up. He looked at Zhongli Yueshui who was looking at the life plate without any expression, and turned on the sound transmission note.

"Master, someone has found Taowu's trace. It appeared in a small town in the north."

The underground demon realm is located in the southwest. It takes at least a day for Zhongli Yueshui to go to the underground demon realm by riding on the golden-winged bird. In a day, no one knows where Taowu will escape to.

Everyone present heard the words in the sound transmission note, including Zhongli Yueshui.

Someone said, "Master, the longer Taowu stays in the mortal world, the more people will die. It increases its cultivation by swallowing humans. As time goes by, it will probably be more difficult to deal with."

Zhongli Yueshui clenched the life card in his hand and stepped on the back of the golden-winged bird. After a while, he turned around and looked at Cheng Hongyi who was still kneeling on the ground. "Of the five of you, one will stay to guard the sect, and the other three will lead the disciples to the mortal world." The fingers of the hand holding the life card turned pale because of too much force, and the veins on the back of his hand emerged, as ferocious as the roots of a tangled tree. "Cheng Hongyi, you go to the underground demon realm and make sure to bring Fang Chaozhou back."

Dark Soul Gate.

The man sitting in the upper seat was lazily flipping through the jade slips. Hearing the noise of someone coming in, he didn't even raise his eyes and said nonchalantly, "You guys are really powerful this time. You even collapsed the underground demon realm."

"Dad, how did you know?" the person who came in cried out in horror.

This unusual reaction made Li Yiye raise his head. He looked at the young man in black standing in the hall. He was just saying it casually, but his silly son's expression was as if his mother had died.

"How do you know? I'm sure everyone in the world knows about it. What's so strange about it?" He put the jade slip in his hand on the table. "It's your father who thinks it's strange that you were able to come out alive. It's good that you came back earlier. My thunderbolt is coming soon, so I'm going to retreat and I don't have time to help you clean up the mess."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his son's wailing voice. Before he could scold him, he heard Li Zhu crying, "Dad, I killed him, he's dead!"

Li Yiye's heart sank, and he sat up straight abruptly, "Who died?"

Li Zhu cried even louder, "Fang...Chaozhou...he was imprisoned...imprisoned in the underground demon realm...I..."

He cried so loudly that it almost drowned out the sound of his voice.

Li Yiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment Li Zhu was slapped in the face. The slap stunned Li Zhu and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Don't cry. Explain clearly, who died?"

No matter how naughty Li Zhu was, he had never been slapped by Li Yiye. This slap not only stunned him, but also scared him. He looked at Li Yiye fearfully, and after a while, he tried to speak in a calm voice.

"It was... Fang Chaozhou. I met him in the underground demon realm. He was in there, first having a fight with that bitch from Fengyue Temple, and then getting together with Xue Danrong. I was so angry that I wanted to tie him up, but he refused. The disciples of Tianshui Sect also killed several of our people. Ding Xiuxing and his companions got angry and chased them, all the way to a strange place. There was a monster of unknown species there, which locked us in a cave and killed many people. Ding Xiuxing and his companions destroyed the wall of the cave... The underground demon realm... collapsed. Before it collapsed, Fang Chaozhou was... caught by that ghost thing and dragged underground. He didn't escape from it... escape..."

Having said this, Li Zhu started crying again, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

For a moment, the only sound in the hall was Li Zhu's crying.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yiye's voice finally rang out, "He won't die. How could that old man Zhongli Yueshui let him die?"

When Li Zhu heard this, she immediately wiped the tears from her face, "Dad, is it true? Fang Chaozhou is really still alive? If he is alive, I... I will never bite or scold him again."

Li Yiye stood up and looked outside the hall. "He will definitely not die. Even if he is dead, there are plenty of ways to pull him back from the underworld. How can my wife, Li Yiye, who is not yet married, die so easily?" When he said this, he called out a name.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone appeared in the hall.

The man was wearing a black robe and a black mask on his face. He appeared in the hall and knelt on one knee on the ground.

Li Zhu looked at the person who suddenly appeared and a look of joy appeared on her face. This guy is called Kuiyi, and he is the most powerful puppet made by his father. Puppets are not living people and will not feel pain if they are injured.

"Kuiyi, when you go to the underground demon realm, you must find the living person or the dead body." Li Yiye paused here, "The little guy likes cakes and fruits, remember to buy some and bring them over. He is locked up underground, so he will definitely be scared."
