Lu Fuyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, slowly got up from the ground, looked at her with a faint smile, "Ghost Granny, you've miscalculated again!"
The old woman's expression changed drastically, and she quickly dodged: "So the divine body can actually hide heavenly secrets. No wonder I couldn't figure out your origins."
She never imagined that the Phoenix God Clan existed in this world.
The next second, the azure phoenix phantom suddenly rushed towards Granny Ghost. Granny Ghost's pupils constricted sharply as she tried to dodge, but how could she easily avoid an attack from a Mahayana cultivator, especially one that also contained several powerful wisps of phoenix divine aura?
In an instant, the old woman's body became weak and transparent. Before disappearing, she stared intently at Lu Fuyue, "The Phoenix Clan? How can there still be a Phoenix Clan in this world?"
She wanted to say something more, but this body was originally an avatar of hers, and it quickly dissipated under the pressure.
"No matter who you are, I'm going to take your body!"
The words drifted away on the wind. Although the crisis was temporarily averted, Lu Fuyue did not relax.
The old hag won't give up easily.
Lu Fuyue took a deep breath, slowly got up from the ground, sat down to meditate and play the zither to heal her injuries. After a while, her injuries gradually healed, and she finally stopped playing.
It would be too difficult for her to avoid a peak Tribulation Transcending expert with her current cultivation level, unless she hid in a spatial dimension. But if a Tribulation Transcending cultivator makes her feel so threatened, then when she ascends to immortality in the future, wouldn't she be even more unable to resist the Heavenly Dao?
My mind was filled with countless thoughts, which ultimately turned into a sigh.
Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed. This time, she not only could not back down, but she had to rise to the challenge!
Because only a crisis can make a person grow rapidly.
After realizing that her injuries had almost healed, Lu Fuyue began to search for a way to cross the River of Oblivion. The map of the Underworld indicated that there was only one way to completely enter the Underworld: the Netherworld Boat.
Lu Fuyue walked to the banks of the River of Oblivion, looking at the small boat left behind by the old ghost. Her eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, she walked towards the boat, examined it carefully, and immediately made up her mind.
It seems this is the Netherworld Boat. The old woman and her sister are the lantern-bearers on the banks of the River of Oblivion, specifically guiding the souls of the dead to the underworld.
Unfortunately, the old woman's sister died in the mortal world. In order to resurrect her sister, she created a clone to guide the souls of the dead in this place, while the old woman herself went to the Netherworld City to find a way to resurrect Bai Man.
Lu Fuyue stepped onto the small boat and stood on it. However, the next second the boat rocked violently, as if trying to throw the people on board off.
The once calm surface of the Forgotten River Lake began to surge, with layers of waves sweeping towards the small boat like sharp blades.
Lu Fuyue's expression changed, and the next second her body fell uncontrollably onto the small boat, as if something on the riverbed was attacking the bottom of the boat.
Large waves suddenly surged from the river surface, splashing onto Lu Fuyue and wetting her clothes and hair. Fortunately, she managed to grab the boat in time, thus avoiding being swept into the River of Oblivion by the splashing water.
Soon, countless black souls emerged from the riverbed and pounced on Lu Fuyue one after another. "Hehehe, the scent of living people. It's been so long since I've smelled the scent of living people."
Lu Fuyue's aura changed instantly. She flipped herself up, raised her hand to summon the Weak Water Zither, and her slender fingers danced swiftly across the strings. The moment the zither music began, countless sharp ice blades appeared out of thin air, piercing towards the black ghosts.
At the same time, golden-red flames suddenly appeared on the surface of the River of Oblivion, and the ghosts clinging to the water screamed in agony. With the combined power of the ice blades and divine fire, most of the ghosts were dealt with before they could even pounce on Lu Fuyue.
After a short while, everything returned to calm.
Lu Fuyue put away the Weak Water Zither, rowed the boat, and headed in the opposite direction.
Behind her, the once-fading sea of spider lilies gradually returned to normal, and the twin spider lilies hidden deep within the sea of flowers slowly unfurled their petals, blooming even more eerily and alluringly, like a captivating enchantress.
After an unknown amount of time, layers of white mist gradually rose from the surface of the River of Oblivion, obscuring the path ahead.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. She had a feeling that something was going to happen.
However, the fog soon dissipated, and a small boat appeared ahead. On the boat, there was a figure that was not clearly visible, but the next second, the boat and the figure disappeared instantly.
A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. Could it be that she was seeing things... or...?
In the shadows, the man stood on tiptoe on the vast river, lost in thought as he watched Lu Fuyue's departing figure.
...
A few days later, the small boat soon came to rest on the shore.
Across the River of Oblivion lies the city of Zhongdu, the territory of the Ghost King Jiang Xun.
Lu Fuyue got up and disembarked. Everywhere she looked was a somber, dark scene. The ground beneath her feet was black, the sky was black, and even the trees and plants were black. A thick, chilling aura permeated the air.
Along the way, there was not a trace of living people.
She reached out and took out a map of the underworld from her spatial storage. After looking at it and figuring out where she was, she had a general idea of where she was going.
A moment later, Lu Fuyue put away the map and looked at the fork in the road ahead. After a moment's thought, she instantly activated the Yin-Yang Life and Death Technique, changing the aura within her body and transforming into a Nascent Soul stage Netherworld ghost cultivator. Her appearance did not change much, but her aura became gloomy, and her clothes also changed into the black dress that Netherworld female cultivators always liked.
After preparing everything, Lu Fuyue headed towards the city gate of Zhongdu.
She had already sensed that the Fire Strings were in this city of Zhongdu. Logically, since two of the strings of the Weak Water Zither had already been returned to their places, she should be able to sense the whereabouts of the remaining three strings without needing to go through the water. However, for some reason, she could only sense the general direction, and she couldn't find out the exact location of the Fire Strings.
On the other side,
After Lu Fuyue left, Song Zhou quickly appeared on the banks of the River of Oblivion, obtained the Other Shore Flower, and left.
His sole purpose in coming to the underworld was to obtain the red spider lily. However, upon returning to the ghost market after leaving the underworld, he found the entire market unusually quiet.
Song Zhou instantly realized what was happening and turned to run, but was caught on the spot by the suddenly appearing Lord of the Netherworld City.
"Song Zhou, as this city lord's male slave, you dared to steal the jade slip from the city lord's study and escape from Youming City. What is your punishment!"
Song Zhou's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down, bowing his head and kowtowing, saying, "Lord City Lord, I...I know I was wrong, but I must leave here now. I beg you to grant my request."
Green Moon smiled coldly, "Grant your favor? Do you know that the Lu Xing who was with you before was a fake? He not only pretended to be my beloved, but also instigated you to steal the treasures of the city lord's mansion."
"Tell me, after capturing him, should I, the city lord, kill him to demonstrate my authority?"
Song Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. He hadn't expected that his actions would cause Senior Sister Lu to be disliked and suspected by the City Lord's Mansion.
Green Moon looked at the man kneeling on the ground and curled the corners of her lips. "It's not impossible for me to let you go, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of that imposter, I'll let you leave, how about that?"
