"What happened to the underground palace?"
Jiang Deng said fearlessly, "I'm not even afraid of the underworld, so why would I be afraid of the underground palace?"
“…”
Hong Yi was silent for a moment, then said speechlessly, "It's not the underground palace you're thinking of. It's the Imperial Palace, the residence of the Ghost Emperor. If we enter the Imperial Palace, all our actions will probably be under the Ghost Emperor's surveillance."
"Um……"
Jiang Deng thought for a moment, "That's a problem, but Bai Sitang and I have already disguised ourselves as ghost cultivators. The Ghost Emperor shouldn't notice anything unusual until the very last moment. You, on the other hand, need to change your appearance."
"How to change?" asked the man in red in confusion.
Jiang Deng decisively took out the remaining Yigui Pill he had refined earlier and said with a smile, "Dangdangdang! This is the pill. Take it, and you can become like us!"
Red: “…”
Taking a deep breath, Hongyi timidly swallowed the extremely unpalatable Yigui Pill.
Soon, a huge change took place in Hongyi's body. Although she was still dressed in red, she had completely lost her previous grace.
There wasn't a single piece of intact skin on her body, and she looked like a prisoner who had been tortured and skinned alive. Her entire body, even her face, was covered in blood, and she looked even more terrified than Jiang Deng and Bai Sitang combined.
Now the three of them stand together again, wow, one black, one white and one red, it's absolutely amazing!
As the three of them walked towards the Netherworld Ghost City, all the ghost cultivators passing by stared at them in surprise and whispered to each other.
"Oh my god, this thing is so scary, right? Stay away from it, stay away from it!"
"Tsk, he can't even change the way he died. It's obvious that he's a weak ghost from the underworld."
"Isn't the underworld well-guarded? When did these three low-level ghosts escape from the underworld?"
"I guess the ghost cultivators on duty in the underworld dozed off, allowing these three ugly ghosts to escape. I don't know when they will come out to catch them."
“Bad luck!”
…
Jiang Deng and Hong Yi didn't care at all about the conversations of the ghost cultivators around them.
Bai Sitang was a little thin-skinned and couldn't stand the gossip of the ghost cultivators, so he had to hide behind Jiang Deng and Hongyi and act like a shrinking ghost.
The three of them went straight to the Imperial Palace and were stopped only when they reached the entrance to the underground palace.
"Bold ghost!"
The leading guard declared righteously, "He actually slipped out of the underground palace and barged into the city to scare people. He deserves death!"
After saying that, he was about to draw his sword and chop Jiang Deng and the other three to death.
"Wait a minute!"
Hongyi had been in the Imperial Palace for quite some time and was clearly very familiar with the situation there. She very sensibly stuffed a handful of ghost crystals condensed from ghost energy into the guard leader's hand and said with a smile, "The three of us just came out to get some fresh air. We haven't done anything bad. Your Excellency, could you please be lenient and let us go back? We promise we won't sneak out again!"
"Hmph," the guard leader unnoticedly accepted the ghost crystal and warned, "If I catch you sneaking out again next time, you won't be able to come back!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The man in red nodded and bowed.
In this way, the three of them successfully sneaked into the imperial palace.
Jiang Deng was a little surprised by Hong Yi's behavior just now. "I didn't expect you to bribe people. I thought you were such an upright person that you would never do such a thing."
Hongyi smiled bitterly. Since there was no skin on her face now, only muscle tissue, when she smiled, the bloody muscles moved, which looked very scary.
"I can't help it. I'm in charge of these people in the Imperial Palace. They often abuse their power and release ghosts from the underworld. In order to prevent things from getting out of hand, I can only learn to turn a blind eye."
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
Jiang Deng was quite emotional.
It seems that the seventh disciple really would do anything to achieve his goal. Even if she died, he would revive her corpse and make it work for him. It was simply amazing.
This is revenge against her, absolutely revenge against her!
Jiang Deng didn't understand. What did the seventh disciple want to achieve by going through so much trouble?
She couldn't see through the Seventh Disciple before, and she still can't see through him now...
Jiang Deng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She was the same at the beginning. Almost all the others were picked up or rescued by her, except for the seventh disciple. The seventh disciple was also the most talented one among all the seven disciples she had accepted.
Not only does he have a rare natural spiritual root and a single fire spiritual root, he also possesses a special physique, which allows him to make rapid progress in cultivation. He is also gifted with the ability to have double pupils and master supreme magical powers.
Such a rare genius, appearing out of nowhere, naturally attracted the attention of many forces.
Even Jiang Deng, who was always indifferent and detached from worldly matters, could not help but be moved and extended an olive branch to the seventh disciple.
She still remembered that the seventh disciple had never even glanced at anyone else. His double pupils were fixed on her with clear intent, and his smile was innocent yet a little weird.
Because the seventh disciple decisively chose her as his master, Jiang Deng treated this youngest disciple very dearly. She would always let her choose the best skills and weapons first, for fear of letting her down.
result……
She trained her seventh disciple to be a talented person, but this kid turned around and gathered his fellow apprentices to stab her. Among the people who stabbed her the most cruelly, apart from the eldest disciple, it was the seventh disciple.
Until now, Jiang Deng still doesn’t understand why the seven disciples chose her as their master among so many respected senior masters?
It can't be that... the reason why the seventh disciple took her as his master was because he wanted to stab her, right?
Jiang Deng shuddered in fear at his own guess.
"Okay, here we are."
The red-clothed man's reminder rang in my ears.
Jiang Deng looked up and saw a long staircase in front of him.
The stairs went down continuously, and the end was dark and deep, and no one knew where it led to.
Jiang Deng wondered, "Is this where the Samsara Pool is?"
"Yes," Hongyi nodded, "This is the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace. The Samsara Pond and the Underworld are both here."
Hearing this, Jiang Deng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, with the red-clothed girl there, they were able to pass through the imperial palace as if it were no one's business, and easily reached their destination.
"Let's go."
The three of them walked down the stairs, and after about a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the end of the stairs.
The endless staircases had disappeared, replaced by a long corridor. The end of the corridor was pitch black, as if leading to an unknown existence.
At the entrance of the corridor stood several ghost cultivators in armor, holding sharp weapons, and all of them had cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage.
"stop!"
The ghost cultivators looked at Jiang Deng and the other two who had suddenly appeared and said in a cold voice, "This is the forbidden area of the Imperial Palace. How dare you trespass?"
After saying that, a group of ghost cultivators waved their weapons and pointed the tips of their weapons at Jiang Deng and the other two, with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will die!"
