Chapter 115 The Netherworld Realm Opens!
Although somewhat speechless, this is not the time to dwell on this. The gate to the Netherworld is about to open, and if we cannot enter within an hour, we will have to wait until the next fifteenth.
Going out is the same; if you can't get out in time at the turn of dawn and dusk, you can only stay inside until the next fifteenth.
The wizard, his eyes hidden behind a black veil, surveyed Bai Yuheng and the other two, and asked, "Who came in with me?"
Bai Yuheng stepped forward: "It's me, and Xiaoying too."
The wizard looked at the two women and remained silent for a long time.
Bai Yuheng asked, "Does the wizard have any objections?"
Bai Yuheng stared directly at him, as if trying to see through the thin black veil to make out the person inside.
After a brief, subtle stalemate, Bai Yuheng suddenly pulled Cen Ying aside and whispered to her, "Xiao Ying, you and Xiao Can wait for me outside."
"But……"
Bai Yuheng shook her head: "We've come this far, it would show my sincerity if I went myself. When Pei Yuan wakes up, you should tell him how good I am to him!"
Seeing that she still had the mind to joke with her, Cen Ying smiled and said, "Alright, we'll wait outside for you to come out safely."
Bai Yuheng nodded.
Suddenly, she met the wizard's gaze, which had been fixed on her. Bai Yuheng hesitated, but seeing that the man moved away without making a sound, she didn't pay any attention.
Bai Zhixing said, "Alright, we must part ways after seeing you off for a thousand miles. Be careful, there are many monsters, beasts and poisonous insects in these mountains, so please put your lives first."
Bai Zhixing was mainly talking to Bai Yuheng, fearing that she might disregard everything to save her lover.
Bai Yuheng nodded and thanked him. Then, she and the wizard walked into Wangyue Mountain, a sacred mountain revered by everyone.
They walked up the mountain along the path, one in front of the other, without making a sound.
Only when the people at the foot of the mountain were completely hidden by the dense forest did Bai Yuheng finally speak leisurely: "Aren't you hot?"
"..." The wizard did not respond.
"Gu Pingzhi, I really underestimated you." Bai Yuheng leaned against the tree trunk, crossed her arms and smiled at him, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"I didn't expect your influence to have reached Nanshao City."
"When did you arrive here? Did you come here to enter the Netherworld?"
"..."
The person in front walked silently, showing no reaction to her words.
Bai Yuheng raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to lift his veil.
"Is Miss Bai so lacking in manners?"
His voice was rough and deep, lacking Gu Pingzhi's clear and crisp quality.
Bai Yuheng remained silent, wanting to see what he looked like: "A wizard, or Gu Pingzhi? Just show me what you look like."
"Miss Bai is truly barbaric!" The wizard was furious. He was already injured and had no choice but to respond to her attacks. He was so angry that he threw off the veil covering his face, revealing a face covered with rune tattoos, a face with broken eyebrows and scars.
Extremely vicious.
"..."
"Well? Did you see that?" The wizard's lips were dark, and his face was pale, with a pair of light almond-shaped eyes staring intently at her.
"I only let you into Wangyue Mountain because of Lord Bai's influence, but I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable. I doubt you'll keep our agreement either. You're probably one of those accomplices who broke into Wangyue Mountain back then!" Enraged, he turned to go down the mountain. "Go back! I'm not going up with you! And you can forget about going up either!"
"Even if Bai Zhixing begs me, I won't let you take another step!"
Bai Yuheng quickly apologized. Her already beautiful face turned red with embarrassment, and she pleaded with him softly. The wizard's anger subsided considerably.
Bai Yuheng tugged at the wizard's sleeve and said in a soft voice, "Master Wizard, please forgive my rudeness. I was ignorant and impolite and offended you. Please don't be angry. After we leave, I will give you a treasure from our sect that will help you with your cultivation! What do you think?"
She adopted a very humble attitude and repeatedly praised him before he calmed down.
He said, "I heard Zhixing say that you want to enter some kind of fairyland? The place that the dead intruders were looking for?"
Bai Yuheng looked at him warily. The wizard suddenly smiled and continued, "You know how to get in, don't you? Just tell me how to get in—oh no, you don't need to tell me, just take me with you and let me go in and have a look—and I won't come down the mountain. I also won't tell Zhixing about what happened on the mountain when we get back, how about that?"
Bai Yuheng pondered for a long time, then suddenly decided to drug him.
Enraged, the wizard released poisonous insects, and the two became entangled for quite some time.
"If you won't listen to a polite toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit?"
"You can't just go in there like that!"
The wizard replied, "As long as you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?"
"Besides, I don't know any magic. I can only control some poisonous insects, and I can't do anything to prevent you from going in."
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while.
Bai Yuheng seemed unable to wait any longer and said coldly, "Okay, but you have to stay with me the whole time and listen to me."
"no problem."
The two stopped.
Bai Yuheng asked, "What do you want to do inside?"
The wizard chuckled and pulled the black veil back over his head: "Naturally, I've heard there are many treasures and mythical beasts inside..."
His subsequent words were self-evident; he clearly wanted to possess it for himself.
Bai Yuheng pursed her lips: "Don't be greedy."
The wizard chuckled, "Of course."
After their fight, the two unexpectedly hit it off, and this time Bai Yuheng walked ahead of him.
As soon as you enter the deep mountains, the fog and miasma increase, as if they follow you and cover you wherever you go.
Bai Yuheng took out the pill Cen Ying had given her and pressed it under her tongue.
He then handed the pills to the wizard, saying, "These are pills my companions made. Eating them will help you deal with this miasma and you won't be affected."
The wizard picked up a pill the size of a red bean, examined it for a moment, and then, seeing that she had swallowed it, he felt relieved and swallowed it in one gulp.
Bai Yuheng turned her head and smiled.
The miasma grew stronger and stronger until it separated the two who were already inseparable.
"Where are you?!" the wizard shouted. "Why aren't the pills you gave me working?! The miasma is getting worse!"
"..."
In the thick fog, the black-clad figure gradually disappeared, as if being devoured by a ferocious beast.
"Bai Yuheng! Where are you?! Come out now! You heartless wretch! Do you deserve the name of your Tianyan Sect?! How dare you plot against innocent people! If I had known, if I had known, I would have refused you directly!!! I never expected you to be a wolf in sheep's clothing! You have treacherous intentions and want to harm my people... You've been deceived! You've let a wolf into the house..."
All the echoes disappeared, and miasma spread upwards.
The thick fog obscured the surroundings. The wizard lifted his black robe, revealing a cold, handsome face. One side was strikingly beautiful, while the other looked as if it had been gnawed by insects, pitted and mangled, with horrifying blood-red scars.
But his expression was even more terrifying than the scar.
Oh shit!
He was tricked by Bai Yuheng again!
He concealed it so well! Even Bai Zhixing, who had been by the wizard's side for decades, couldn't tell the difference, yet she saw through it!
Gu Pingzhi then realized that everything that had just happened was clearly a well-acted play she was putting on for him! And he had actually thought he'd gotten away with it!
Gu Pingzhi underestimated his opponent once again, and the one he underestimated was her!
This enraged Gu Pingzhi, his heterochromatic eyes seeming to blaze with fury.
"..."
Not far away, Bai Yuheng was sitting on a tree branch, watching, and naturally saw everything clearly.
She scoffed. Gu Pingzhi was as foolish and self-righteous as ever.
He used similar methods hundreds of years ago, and you still dare to mess with her? Even if you lived another three hundred years, you still couldn't catch up with him.
Bai Yuheng finally understood why Qinghui Tianzun had previously said that he was not smart enough but stupid, arrogant yet self-deprecating.
That really hit the nail on the head.
However, it was also because of the prophecy given by the Celestial Venerable Qinghui that he, who was already being bullied, suffered even greater humiliation. As a result, his sect was wiped out by Gu Pingzhi, who practiced evil arts, many years later, and not a single one of them could escape...
Who can truly explain the cause and effect of everything?
Bai Yuheng glanced at Gu Pingzhi, who was trapped in the illusion created by the drug given to her by Cen Ying. She had felt pity, cherished, respected, and hated him.
Bai Yuheng looked at the golden flames gathering in her palm. If she wanted, she could simply wave her hand and the people below would be reduced to ashes.
In the instant she was pondering, a dazzling light gradually emanated from not far away.
The Netherworld Realm has opened!
Without hesitation, Bai Yuheng swung the ball of golden fire in her hand toward Gu Pingzhi, who was lost in the miasma.
Bang!
The sound was extremely loud, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open, causing the ground to shake violently in an instant.
The miasma dissipated, leaving only the ashes of the black robe, without any trace.
Bai Yuheng glanced at it, then focused all her attention on the slowly opening gate to the Netherworld.
Unfortunately, she didn't see that beneath the black robe's ashes, a maggot the size of a grain of rice stirred, like breaking free of its cocoon, and a black spider the size of a thumb crawled out of the pile of ashes.
In a secluded courtyard of the Bai family mansion in the city, a sudden splattering sound came from the tightly closed room, and a pool of black blood was sprayed onto the ground.
Gu Pingzhi, lying on the couch, had bulging veins on his forehead, his face contorted, his lips turning white then blue, then blue then purple, and finally turning purplish-black.
"Bang!"
Gu Pingzhi slammed his hand on the bed in anger, his bloodshot and swollen eyes bursting with intense hatred.
"Bai, Yu, Heng!"
Gu Pingzhi felt a throbbing pain in his chest from something that didn't exist there.
The words spoken and the hatred in one's heart belong to only one person at this moment.
Bai Yuheng didn't care who hated her at this moment; all she wanted was to get the Fusang fruit to save Pei Yuan, and she was thinking about her friend whom she hadn't seen or contacted in a long time.
As soon as the gate to the Netherworld opened, a cloud of colorful clouds flew out from behind the gate, merging with the dense miasma.
Following them was a group of all sorts of spirits, monsters, and beasts, who filed out one after another, but they only played around the vicinity of Wangyue Mountain and dared not go down the mountain, for fear of missing the time to return.
After Bai Yuheng and the other group of demon beasts left, she also went in. Compared to those who went out, she was the only one who came in. Many of the scattered demon beasts who had gone out stared at her intently. There was no such thing as subtlety among demon beasts; they did whatever they wanted.
Bai Yuheng showed no fear and swaggered in.
Unlike the miasma-shrouded, densely forested, and pitch-black Wangyue Mountain, Shenming Youjing is a place where there is no night, only pleasant sunshine and no darkness.
No wonder people say this place is a fairyland, where light shines everywhere, petals fall in abundance, streams murmur, and life is plentiful.
Bai Yuheng hadn't been here for a hundred years. The changes weren't huge, but they weren't small either. At least, she had trouble finding Xuan Lang's place to stay.
Firstly, she has a terrible sense of direction and can't tell which way is which; secondly, the place has changed, with different flowers, plants, trees, and streams, no longer resembling the scene from a hundred years ago.
Bai Yuheng hesitated for a moment.
"Is this young lady looking for some kind of demon?"
A fox demon with a fox face and a human body walked over, smiling and asking without the slightest fear.
"Yes, does this gentleman know where the Venerable Xuanlang resides?"
The fox demon originally intended to coax this beautiful and charming woman into taking him home as his twenty-eighth concubine, a skill he had learned in the mortal realm. However, this seemingly harmless young girl immediately asked where the ruler of the Netherworld resided, her tone practiced and confident—she was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
A pair of crimson fox eyes darted around, a fleeting glint of greed and blatant lust flashing across them, before she regretfully dismissed the idea of making him her concubine. Then she thought, could this person be a friend of the Celestial Venerable? If she could establish some connection and gain some benefits… or perhaps she could use this opportunity to befriend those people and elevate her status in the Netherworld…
The fox demon was lost in his own thoughts, and suddenly looked at the woman in front of him. She was so much cuter than he thought. She was a real piece of meat!
Even just meeting that Heavenly Venerable once would be an incredible feat! It would be enough for him to boast about for years to come!
Having figured out the key point, the fox demon grinned, revealing a mouth that was larger and deeper red than a normal person's, with sparse, sharp teeth arranged in a row.
"Young lady, you've come to the right person! Everyone knows about the Heavenly Venerable's Palace, but no one knows it as well as I do!" the fox demon boasted shamelessly. Flattery never fails, and she continued, "You're clearly no ordinary person. Look at your noble air, your extraordinary temperament, your outstanding appearance... This blue and white dress suits you perfectly! You look like a fairy from the heavens! No wonder you're a friend of the Heavenly Venerable!"
The fox demon kept flattering him, confirming that she was Xuan Lang's good friend and that he wasn't worried at all that she had ulterior motives. If she came to seek revenge on the Heavenly Venerable, he would be in deep trouble.
The fox demon could tell from her appearance that she was a good person. She was a pure and aloof fairy, with no evil aura around her and a clean body. She must be a good person.
Having observed all his reactions, Bai Yuheng smiled and said, "Brother, do you really think I'm a good person?"
The fox demon was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening. He beamed with delight and launched into a barrage of unsolicited flattery, his words flowing like a machine gun, making Bai Yuheng blush with embarrassment.
She smiled quietly, and after the fox demon had finished speaking and was hoarse, she looked at her.
Suddenly, he fell to the ground, his calves trembling.
"You you you you..."
You've been talking for ages and you haven't gotten anything out of it.
The fox demon saw that the originally beautiful, lovely, and harmless woman's gentle, smiling, and focused eyes had turned into golden-red vertical pupils, and faint golden-red scales had appeared on her forehead and cheeks. Her long and slender legs had somehow transformed into an extremely thick and long snake tail!
Her deep, dark eyes stared at him, sending a chill down his spine. As she grinned, her red tongue emerged, long and thin, forked, with her two sharp teeth gleaming coldly.
At that moment, Bai Yuheng, who was many times taller than him, chuckled and looked down at him with disdain: "So? Do you still think I'm a good person now?"
