Chapter 180 [Alien Species] Netherworld King Lin Shiyi
Mu Chi was all around him, and everything around him had disappeared, leaving only the endless blue.
If his guess was correct, what Ye Hean was holding in his hand was the Heart-Reflecting Mirror that activated the Heart-Reflecting Array, which could reflect what people most desired to happen.
What he did want in his heart was for his disciples to live in harmony.
Hua Jin is an alien species, Ye Musi is the main bead, and Zhu Jianye is the luminous bead. These three disciples are not ordinary people.
The alien species and the main bead have been fighting for thousands of years. Now they have turned into human forms and have no memories of the past, but they are still fighting. As their master, how can I not be tired?
"Mu Chi, Mu Xingzhou, you are tired, please stay."
Mu Chi closed his eyes. His master had mentioned the Heart-Illuminating Formation. If one saw this formation, it must be destroyed. This formation had killed many people. Although it was not listed as a forbidden technique, it was no different from a forbidden technique.
However, his master did not tell him how to break the Heart-Illuminating Array, nor did he tell him where the center of the array was.
Yes, the Heart-Illuminating Array has been lost for a hundred years, and his master is just an ordinary mortal, how could he know about it?
However, there was no way to destroy the formation, but his master had told him how to leave the formation. This was why his true heart was not trapped by Zhao Xin.
"Stay..."
As Mu Chi thought about it, a dagger appeared in his hand, and he stabbed himself hard in the chest, right at his heart.
Sure enough, the lingering sound in his ears disappeared, and cracks began to appear on the ground. Mu Chi fell backwards suddenly, and before he could stand firm, he had already come out of the mirror.
He looked around, the surroundings were gloomy and had a bloody smell, the sky was not its usual color but a dark green, the surroundings were eerie and overgrown with weeds, but they did not look like living things.
As he walked forward, he saw an underground river and a small boat in front of him with a ferryman on board.
Mu Chi suddenly realized that this was exactly the same as the underworld described in the book, but he was confused as to why he was here.
Is he dead?
He walked back and returned to the starting point, and saw the small boat on the dark river again.
"It's time to get on the boat." said the ferryman on the boat.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Mu Chi found himself sitting on the boat. He felt it was incredible and wanted to stand up, but was forced down again.
"Hold on tight~"
"You... let me go! I can't die!" Mu Chi looked at the ferryman, who was just a black cloak with no physical form. "You..."
He stepped forward and tore open the cloak. The ferryman's oar slipped and a small paper figure fell out. He picked it up and examined it.
"puppet?"
He was sitting in the boat and had already reached the center, moving down the river as if it was being taken to a specific place.
Soon, the boat landed on the shore. Mu Chi got off the boat and walked forward. There was a city ahead. He looked up and saw the words "Netherworld" written on it.
"Hey, you look so young, how come you died?" An old ghost came forward.
"I..." Mu Chi looked at him. His hair was not messy and he was dressed appropriately, but his skin color was a little dull.
"However, you are lucky to be assigned to our Nether City. If you were assigned to any other city, it would be no different from entering the Eighteen Levels of Hell."
"Why do you say that?" Mu Chi was puzzled.
"Our city lord, the Nether King, is the number one king in the underworld. Nether City is naturally the richest and can absorb the most ghost energy. It can even be ranked first in reincarnation."
Mu Chi looked at the ghosts around him, and they looked just like ordinary people. This was all too creepy.
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?" The old ghost looked at him strangely and asked, "You seem to be a new ghost, so come to my house and have a seat."
"I can't die..." Mu Chi pursed his lips, "I want to ask you, you have lived here for many years, do you know a way to return to life?"
"You've already come to the Netherworld City, what's the point of returning to the world? But if you really can't let it go, go and reincarnate," the old ghost was kind enough to shout loudly to the ghost soldiers guarding the city, "This guy wants to reincarnate! Take him to the path of reincarnation!"
"No, no... I don't want to be reincarnated!"
The ghost soldier came over and said, "What's wrong with you, ghost? It's not right..."
The ghost soldier looked at him carefully.
"You are a living person!" The ghost soldier took out a sharp weapon and pointed it at Mu Chi.
"What! A living person!" The old ghost was shocked. "How come a living person is here?"
The ghost soldiers summoned more ghost soldiers and without giving Mu Chi any chance to speak, they carried him to the attic in the center of the city.
"King of the Underworld, a living person has sneaked in. What should we do with him?"
Mu Chi was forced to kneel on the ground. He looked up and saw the King of the Underworld sitting there. His face could not be seen. He was wearing a mask and his skin color was different from the other ghosts. It was very pale.
The King of the Underworld waved his hand and asked the ghost soldiers to retreat, meaning that he would deal with Mu Chi personally.
Mu Chi shuddered inwardly. If he wanted to return to the human world, besides reincarnation, he could only find the Ghost King and open the gate to the underworld.
If I could ask for help from the Nether King...
"King of the Underworld, I did not intentionally trespass into the underworld. I don't know why I came here. I still have things to do in the mortal world. I..." He saw King of the Underworld suddenly raise his hand, and his voice gradually became smaller.
The King of the Underworld raised his hand, counted with his fingers, and then looked at Mu Chi carefully.
"Yes, your life span is not over yet, so why are you here?" He asked in confusion, "Stand up."
Mu Chi stood up.
"Has your cultivation been sealed?" He teleported to Mu Chi's side and put his hand on his shoulder.
It was at this moment that Mu Chi felt the spiritual power flowing in his body.
"Okay, go back. This is not the place for you." After saying that, the King of the Underworld flicked his sleeves, and a door leading to the human world opened.
"Thank you." Mu Chi walked towards the Netherworld Gate without thinking too much.
The King of the Underworld sat back on the ghost throne, holding his chin.
"Xiao Chi has grown up, but he's still so timid and afraid of everything, eh..."
"It still scared him..."
However, there is no gate to the underworld in the human world. Only the dead can enter the underworld.
As for passages, there have always been passages from the underworld to the human world, and no passages from the human world to the underworld.
Could it be that something happened in the Hidden Valley?
But even if something happened in Yinyou Valley, it had nothing to do with him. He was now the King of the Underworld, not the Lord of Yinyou Valley, Lin Shiyi.
"Never mind, the younger generation will have their own problems."
Imperial Palace, Star Tower——
Mu Chi fell from the sky and landed steadily.
There was no one around.
He glanced around and his eyes fell on the round jade on the table. How could the round jade that Zuo Qianqian took be here?
He picked up the jade and examined it carefully. It was indeed given to him by Lin Shiyi.
Mu Chi felt that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he teleported away.
On the roof of the Shengchen Palace——
It was already dark at this time, and most people would not look up at the roof.
Mu Chi lifted a tile and saw the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor talking. They were too far away to hear what they were saying. Behind the Imperial Preceptor was another person wearing a cloak and a hat, and it was hard to tell who they were.
"Your Majesty, I would like to introduce someone to you."
"Recommendation? What's the point of recommendation!" Ye Hean threw all the books on the table to the ground. "If you really have the ability, why can't you complete the formation? I've already helped you find the last person, and it's been half a month, and there's still no news!"
The emperor was angry and shouted very loudly, and Mu Chi heard it clearly.
Could he be sure that the person Ye Hean was talking about was him, but half a month had already passed?
"Xiu Wen has remembered some clues. If you don't hurry up, the Queen Mother will take action!"
"Your Majesty, please do not worry. That person has disappeared inexplicably, and we do not have enough people. I am powerless to help you. However, I will introduce this person to you today. He must have a way to activate the formation."
"Who is it?" Ye Hean calmed down.
Song Cisheng turned sideways, and the man behind him took off his hat.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you had found someone to trick me."
"He can activate the formation, and he has a cultivator under his command, and a hundred people have golden elixirs."
Mu Chi covered his mouth. He saw the man's face clearly. He was very familiar with this man - Hua Jin.
In his shock, he accidentally broke a tile.
Song Cisheng was very alert. He looked up and saw nothing, so he motioned Hua Jin to go and take a look.
"It seems that the Queen Mother is anxious and asked the princess to come and take a look. Your Majesty, there is no need to be afraid. The Queen Mother is old and only the princess is capable. Who else can she use?"
Mu Chi stopped listening because Hua Jin had already come up carrying Bodhi.
"Xiao Jin."
The person in front of him exuded a gloomy aura, unlike Hua Jin.
The moment Hua Jin saw Mu Chi, the Bodhi sword in his hand fell. He walked forward, full of joy but also afraid that it would be in vain.
"Master?" He became more and more afraid the closer he got. "Is it really you?"
"How did you become like this?"
"I...Master, are you really still alive?"
Hua Jin's trembling hand tried to touch Mu Chi's face, but was avoided.
“…”
Mu Chi took his hand.
"Come with me."
Hua Jin shook him off.
"Where are you going? Master, do you think that after disappearing for half a month, I will no longer feel resentful?"
"Resentment?" Mu Chi had no idea what Hua Jin was talking about. He was only shocked as to why Hua Jin was in the National Master's camp. He just wanted to find a place to ask what had happened in the past half month.
"You know everything, but you pretend you know nothing!"
Before Mu Chi could ask why, there was a sound under his feet and a sword slashed between the two of them.
"Hua Jin, what are you hesitating about?" Song Cisheng's voice came from below.
Hua Jin said, "Go now. Just pretend I haven't seen you today, Master. This is the last time I'll call you Master. From now on, you and I are no longer master and disciple. There's no need to show mercy when we meet!"
"What do you mean!" Mu Chi grabbed Hua Jin's shoulders, but was pushed away. He didn't expect Hua Jin to be like this. He couldn't stand firmly for a while and fell down.
He looked at Hua Jin with such sad eyes. He wanted to know what had happened and why Hua Jin had become like this.
When he landed, he was caught by someone.
"Princess?"
"Don't say anything, go ahead."
"No, what about my apprentice?"
Ye Ying'er looked at Hua Jin and said, "He's your apprentice? Even if he is, leave first. He doesn't look like he wants to take you as his master."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Ying'er forcibly pulled Mu Chi away.
Mu Chi had never thought that a little girl could be stronger than him. He looked at Hua Jin, and Hua Jin looked at him, both of them with inexplicable thoughts in their eyes.
Mu Chi was taken to Changning Palace.
"You brought me here, what should I do with my apprentice?" He shouted before he figured out what Hua Jin meant.
"He's gone to help His Majesty, and you still think he's your apprentice?" Ye Ying'er said angrily. "If I hadn't planned to go see what the Imperial Preceptor and His Majesty were discussing today, I'm afraid he would have attacked you! Also, where have you been for the past half month? I've been looking for you for half a month and have released so much information, but you haven't replied."
He didn't even realize that half a month had passed.
"What happened in the past half month?"
"Your Majesty used to compete with the Queen Mother in secret, but now he's openly doing so. Because he has the Imperial Preceptor's support, the Empress and I have both suffered greatly. It's strange to say, this Imperial Preceptor is only a mortal, yet he possesses such profound cultivation. I suspect he's not the Imperial Preceptor; the real Imperial Preceptor is dead."
"What about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"
"Don't worry, until His Majesty achieves his true goal, the Zhenbei Marquisate is perfectly safe. But your apprentice is helping His Majesty, and you don't even know about it?"
Mu Chi shook his head. He and Hua Jin were still quarreling and were angry with each other. Half a month had passed since he came back, and Hua Jin seemed to have become a different person, as if he wanted to break up with him.
