Upon hearing this, all the souls on the road to the underworld instantly turned into ferocious beings, as if struck by lightning, and collapsed to the ground, rolling around and letting out screams.

Just as Lu Li thought it was coming for him, a golden light suddenly emanated from afar.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk wishes to travel through the Yellow Springs to enter the underworld; I humbly request Meng Po's permission."

The golden light gradually solidified, transforming into the figure of a giant monk who clasped his hands together in prayer towards the distance.

"Hmph! The underworld has rules that living souls cannot enter the Yellow Springs. If you don't leave now, then stay here!"

The next moment, a beautiful figure appeared in the sky. She was dressed in red, with a phoenix crown on her head. Her face was exquisite and beautiful, and her brows exuded a sense of nobility and majesty.

The woman looked to be in her mid-twenties, but her skin was fair and delicate, and every smile and frown of hers was breathtaking.

However, her lower body was actually a snake!

At this moment, she looked down at the big monk from her high position, her eyes full of disdain and contempt.

"This...is Meng Po?" Lu Li was somewhat surprised.

This Meng Po isn't an old woman; on the contrary, she's incredibly beautiful.

"Aren't you human?" Meng Po suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at the monk with eyes as sharp as swords.

Lu Li looked up and saw that it was the same talkative monk from earlier.

Unexpectedly, this guy is actually quite skilled. Judging from his aura, he definitely has the ability to see into the heavens!

And Meng Po seems to be quite powerful as well; being able to stand in the void, she must be at least a Martial Venerable.

"This humble monk is indeed not human."

"Then what are you doing in the underworld?" Meng Po asked coldly.

"Human suffering is so great that this humble monk only wishes to enter the underworld to deliver the souls of the dead!"

"Hmph, monks are the most hypocritical. You're about to become a Buddha, yet you're willing to bind yourself to the underworld?"

"Amitabha Buddha, today this humble monk makes a solemn vow: I will not become a Buddha until hell is emptied!"
