Returning to the Palace of Pluto, the palace was still solemn and dignified, but it lacked the popularity of the past and seemed a little deserted.
Mo Xi gently placed Mu Li on the bed and covered her with a blanket, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
Mu Yang watched from the side and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Mo Xi, you are really good to Li Er."
Mo Xi smiled slightly: "She deserves it from me."
After settling Mu Li, Mo Xi took Mu Yang to the garden outside the palace. The garden was full of flowers unique to the underworld, emitting a strange light.
"Uncle, since you are in the underworld, there are some things I need to explain to you clearly." Mo Xi said seriously.
Mu Yang nodded: "You talk, I listen."
"The underworld has its own rules and order. You must not violate them at will when you act here," Mo Xi said. "Also, the underworld is not as peaceful as it appears. There are many unknown dangers lurking."
Mu Yang shuddered when he thought of the ghosts he had encountered along the way: "Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you and not cause any trouble."
Mo Xi also introduced to Mu Yang some of the distribution of forces in the underworld and the relationships between the various parties.
"Uncle, you also need to practice in this underworld and improve your strength so that you won't be unable to protect yourself when you encounter danger." Mo Xi said.
Mu Yang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I haven't slacked off in my cultivation in the human world these years."
"Well, wait until Ali wakes up and let her see where to send you. After all, it's not good for you as a mortal to stay in this underworld for too long." Mo Xi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Mu Yang nodded.
As the two were talking, suddenly, a black flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a dull thunder.
"What's going on?" Mu Yang looked up at the sky in horror.
Mo Xi's face was solemn: "It seems that something unexpected is going to happen in the underworld."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ghost messenger hurried over and knelt on one knee: "King, this is bad! The water in the Wangchuan River has suddenly begun to flow backwards, and the yin energy on the riverside has become extremely dense. It seems that something is about to break the seal!"
Mo Xi frowned, turned to Mu Yang and said, "Uncle, you stay in the hall to take care of A Li, I'll go check on her."
Mu Yang nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Li'er."
Mo Xi's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, rushing towards the Forgotten River.
Mu Yang returned to the hall and looked at Mu Li who was still sleeping soundly, praying silently in his heart that everything would be safe.
When Mo Xi arrived at the bank of the Wangchuan River, he saw the river water boiling and surging endlessly, and the black yin energy spread like a thick fog, making it hard to breathe.
Mo Xi used his magic power to try to suppress this abnormal phenomenon, however, the force was extremely strong and kept attacking his magic power.
"What on earth could have such a powerful force?" Mo Xi was puzzled.
At this moment, a low roar came from the bottom of the river, as if a sleeping giant beast was waking up...
As a low roar rose from the riverbed, the waters of the Forgotten River surged ever more violently, with black columns of water rising into the sky. Mo Xi stared intently at the river, his magical power surging to its fullest, a cold glow emanating from his body.
Suddenly, a massive black claw thrust its way out of the river, followed by a massive body that broke through the water. This monster resembled a dragon, but its body was covered in sharp bone spurs. Its eyes flashed blood-red, and its gaping maw, bared with fangs, emitted a nauseating, rancid stench.
"Evil beast, who are you and how dare you cause trouble here!" Mo Xi shouted angrily.
The monster let out a piercing roar, the sound piercing the air like a sharp blade, causing the surrounding ghost officials to cover their ears. It swung its massive tail, stirring up layers of black waves, and pounced towards Mo Xi.
Mo Xi flashed and instantly appeared above the monster. A black longsword condensed in his hand and fiercely stabbed it into the monster's back. The longsword pierced the bone spurs, sparks flew, but it failed to cause any substantial damage to the monster.
The monster felt pain and twisted its body angrily, throwing Mo Xi out. Mo Xi stabilized his body in the air and launched another attack. Golden runes flew out from his hands and enveloped the monster.
The rune touched the monster's body, making a sizzling sound and sending black smoke rising from its surface. However, its resistance became increasingly fierce, and a stream of black flame spewed from its mouth, heading straight for Mo Xi.
Mo Xi quickly formed a shield in front of him to block the flame attack, but the impact of the flame still made him retreat several feet.
At this time, more ghost officials gathered around and tried to help Mo Xi subdue the monster. However, the monster was too powerful, and the ghost officials' attacks were like scratching an itch, which only angered it.
The monster waved its claws and instantly knocked several ghost officials away. The ghost officials fell heavily to the ground, spitting black blood from their mouths and breathing weakly.
Mo Xi knew that this was not a solution and he had to find the monster's weakness as soon as possible. He dodged the monster's attacks while carefully observing its movements.
Suddenly, Mo Xi noticed that before each powerful attack, a scale on the monster's chest would tremble slightly. He had an idea that this might be the monster's weak spot.
Mo Xi seized the opportunity and rushed towards the monster's chest like a ghost when the monster opened its mouth and spewed out flames again. The monster sensed Mo Xi's intention and wanted to wave its claws to stop him, but Mo Xi was too fast and it had no time to react.
Mo Xi came to the monster's chest, infused all his magic power into the long sword in his hand, and fiercely stabbed the slightly trembling scale. With a roar, the scale was pierced, and a stream of black blood spurted out.
The monster screamed miserably, its entire body trembling violently. It struggled frantically, stirring the waters of the Forgotten River even more turbulently.
Mo Xi did not dare to let down his guard and continued to use his magic power to intensify his attacks on the monster's weaknesses. Under Mo Xi's continuous attacks, the monster's strength gradually weakened, and finally, it fell powerlessly into the Forgotten River, splashing a huge splash of water.
Mo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, watching the gradually calming Lethe River, but his heart was filled with doubt. Where did this suddenly appearing powerful monster come from? Was there some other conspiracy behind it? He decided to investigate immediately, determined not to threaten the peace of the underworld.
Meanwhile, in Pluto's Palace, Mu Yang stayed by Mu Li's side, watching her still sleeping face with a hint of worry in his heart. Suddenly, Mu Li's brows furrowed slightly, and she muttered something incomprehensible...
"Li'er, Li'er?" Mu Yang shouted worriedly when he saw this.
However, Mu Li seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, mumbling to herself...
