"What's the situation outside recently?" Wei Dongliu asked with interest.

"What else can I do?" Witch Jiang answered casually, "If I can't beat him, I can't beat him."

"Even if all six paths were added together, there would still be a big gap between them and the Three Pure Ones." Wen Yang also echoed, "Not to mention that the Hell Path did not participate in the battle."

"Although we lost, the loss was not big." Long Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Compared to what we got from Penglai, it was still a big profit overall."

Wei Dongliu chuckled and felt emotional.

If the orthodox religion accepts disciples based on the principle of "better to have none than to have someone who is not qualified", then the evil religion is a typical example of accepting everyone who comes. As for whether the disciples will do well or not after becoming disciples, it depends on their internal ability.

Because of this, the cost for the Demon Cult to train an ordinary disciple is very low.

In the process of fighting against the Orthodox Church, even if an extremely exaggerated casualty ratio was achieved, judging from the loss of resources and combat power alone, the Orthodox Church might have suffered more losses... This is a bit outrageous.

In a word, the Three Pure Ones of the orthodox sect gained face (by defeating the evil sect villains and making them disappear into oblivion), while the Six Paths of the evil sect gained substance (by taking advantage of the war and making a fortune), and both sides claimed that they were the winners.

"What are the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect going to do next?" Wei Dongliu asked again.

"Not much," Long Xiaoqi replied. "If they can't find us, what else can they do? Of course they will declare victory."

"I heard they are going to hold a great competition for the Orthodox Church." Jiang Li'an suddenly said, "The purpose is to demonstrate military strength."

"Oh?" Wen Yang asked in surprise, "Where can I do it?"

"I don't know." Jiang Li'an shook his head. "This is all the information I got from the sect."

"A secret competition held only inside the company, and you still say it's to show off your military strength?" Wen Yang said disdainfully, "To whom are you showing it off?"

"Show it to the traitors in the orthodox church." Jiang Li'an said seriously.

So everyone was overjoyed.

Wei Dongliu had a calm expression and did not think there was anything funny - because he was also a traitor in the Orthodox Church.

Since he refused to cooperate, everyone's laughter gradually died down.

"By the way, where did that old thief Gu go?" Wen Yang started to make small talk.

"He seemed to have been seriously injured in the fight with those ruffians from Shushan." Long Xiaoqi replied, "I wonder where he went to recover from his injuries."

Oh, there was a big battle between Shushan and Shuradao? Wei Dongliu secretly took note of it so that he could be prepared in advance when he wore Lingyunpo in the future.

Flying Yaksha was listening boredly at the side, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, they arrived above the mine and landed. The mine steward immediately came forward and said with a smile:

"It turns out to be Judge Wen. How did you find time to visit us? If you need any spiritual stones, please let me know and I will send someone to deliver them to you."

"No need." Wen Yang waved his hand, "I'll take these people in for a look."

"Isn't this against the rules..." The deacon just opened his mouth, but was glared back by Wen Yang's murderous eyes. He quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, I'll go open the door for you."

Wei Dongliu watched coldly from the side, thinking that the Demon Cult was really used to involution, even a mortal deacon knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

He first dutifully reminded everyone, and then immediately shrank back to avoid being killed. His advance and retreat were just right, and his desire to survive was already maxed out.

The wooden door of the mine was locked with a rusty copper lock. The deacon took out a key that was also rusty and opened the copper lock.

"Has there been no construction work here recently?" Wen Yang asked with a frown.

"According to my predecessor, there has been no construction here for more than ten years." The deacon replied immediately.

Wen Yang nodded silently.

The reason why the mine was not in operation might be that most of the ore had been mined, or there might be no recent demand for it within the faction. Given his position, he couldn't find out clearly.

But anyway, he has done his best by bringing Wei Dongliu to the mine. As for whether he can find the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone, that depends on his luck.

The rotten wooden door slowly opened, and the deacon tactfully said goodbye and left quickly.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Wei Dongliu suddenly said:

"Senior Yasha, can you take the lead?"

"Ha! Little kid of you, you are so cautious even when entering a mine, is it necessary?" Flying Yaksha said with a smile, but without any hesitation, he walked straight inside.

After this period of time, it has roughly figured out the other party's temperament:

He won't care how you provoke him verbally; but if you don't follow his orders, he will make you suffer immediately.

The Flying Yaksha walked in the front. The darkness was useless under its night vision ability, and all dangers from the front were eliminated.

Wei Dongliu and the other three followed closely behind, each of them raised the lighting magic weapon in their hands and carefully observed the surrounding rock walls.

"Nine Nether Soul Stones are often formed in burial sites deep within ancient battlefields." Wen Yang explained to everyone, "Such places are often filled with extremely dense yin energy, and contain a lot of resentment. Even without studying history, this can be easily confirmed."

"Everyone, use your spiritual sense to scan the surroundings. If there is a place with particularly strong Yin energy, dig deeper into it. There is a high probability that you will find the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone."

"I see." Witch Jiang rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms as white as lotus roots, and said with full energy, "I just happened to learn a technique of guiding demons recently, which allows me to attach my spiritual consciousness to the demon head and spread out to investigate. Leave the task of finding the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone to me!"

"It's no problem to leave it to you." Wei Dongliu asked curiously, "Why are you rolling up your sleeves?"

Jiang Li'an was stunned for a long time, then waved his hand and said:

"Don't ask so many questions, just watch!"

As she made changing gestures and uttered a few spells, four or five demons emerged from the surrounding void, laughed strangely a few times, and then scattered and penetrated into the surrounding rock walls, as if those rock walls were invisible objects.

As these demons spread out, the crowd was not idle either. They let the Flying Yaksha lead the way and strolled in the mine tunnels.

About a quarter of an hour later, Witch Jiang suddenly frowned and said:

"There are no Nine Nether Yin Soul Stones around, but the Yin energy gets deeper the deeper we go. Should we continue to go deeper?"

"Of course." Wen Yang said without hesitation, "The outer layer must have been searched the most. Even if there is the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone, it has probably been dug up by someone."

"Let's go straight down to the deepest part."

Wei Dongliu had no objection and signaled Feitian Yaksha to go deeper.

After walking for about half an hour, Feitian Yaksha suddenly said:

"This yin energy... is a bit pure!"

"What's wrong?" Wei Dongliu immediately became alert, "Is there a place of absolute yang below?"

“It’s not a place without Yang.” Feitian Yaksha said with an evil smile, “But my master, the Nine Nether Yin Soul Stone you want should be at the bottom of this mine.”

"No wonder your sect wants to seal up this mine. You probably haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. And once it leaks out, it won't just be a matter of one state or one sect. The eyes of the entire world will be focused on this."

Everyone was confused, and Wei Dongliu frowned, about to order it not to beat around the bush, when he suddenly heard Wen Yang say in surprise:

"Leaked? What do you mean? Are you trying to say that deep inside this mine is..."

"The rift in the Nine Netherworld?!"
