The array set up by Xie An and Fang Mingjun emanated a divine light that soared into the sky around the giant hand, instantly causing the giant hand to tremble, and an aura as desolate as the ancient primordial era instantly spread out.
Han Yu and the others were all pale-faced, and Old Cui was even more timid. He looked around and whispered, "Since we don't plan to fight with the Underworld anyway, why don't we leave now?"
The Thunder God and the Weaver Girl nodded in agreement.
They were just there to observe; as long as they succeeded in this mission and received the rewards, it wouldn't be a loss, so there was no need for them to take risks here.
Yang Cheng looked back and frowned slightly.
"The road we came from is gone."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and turned around to look at the same time.
Sure enough, there was no way out behind us; it was all covered by a dark aura.
To return, one must enter this yin-energy space, where one can not distinguish directions and wander around, which is very dangerous.
However, in theory, as long as no one disturbs the atmosphere here, the passage behind should not disappear.
This level of Yin energy fluctuation must have been caused by someone deliberately releasing power to stir things up, resulting in changes in the Yin energy within the space and obstructing the passage.
Yang Cheng and his group went first, followed by Xie An and Fang Mingjun.
But Yang Cheng was certain that these two people wouldn't betray him, because there was no need for them to.
If they wanted to kill us, it wouldn't be that difficult; Xie An could take care of them all by himself.
After all, none of them are Mahadeva.
But besides those from the underworld, who else could enter?
While Yang Cheng was still pondering, a deafening explosion came from where the seal was located.
Surrounding the giant hand, the thirty-six arrays simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, forming a large void radiating white light within the pitch-black Yin energy space.
A hand reached out from the hole.
That hand was very slender, fair as jade, and even the size ratio of the nails to the fingers was perfect.
With a sudden downward press, the giant bluish-gray hand was completely crushed into the ground!
In an instant, huge stone pillars rose from the ground all around. The white jade hand formed a hand seal, and countless runes instantly attached themselves to the stone pillars.
These wondrous runes shone brightly, intertwined, and enveloped the giant hand.
Fang Mingjun clicked his tongue in admiration: "Lady Houtu is indeed efficient and ruthless, and doesn't talk much."
If it were Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he would definitely nag us a bit.
Xie An said casually, "The power channel has been opened. Perhaps Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is watching over Houtu right now."
"If you slander Lord Ksitigarbha like that, you might be sent to some godforsaken place for your next mission."
Fang Mingjun's face immediately turned pale: "Boss Bai, don't scare me. Would Lord Ksitigarbha be so petty?"
"Hehe, it's not big anyway."
Just as the two were still chatting, something unexpected happened.
The giant blue hand that had just been suppressed suddenly severed the Yin meridian, and countless Yin energies surged wildly into the grayish-blue hand, causing its skin to turn somewhat black.
The giant, bluish-gray hand suddenly clenched its fist and unleashed a punch that instantly shattered the sky, which was enveloped in yin energy.
The arrays that Houtu had previously set up shattered under this punch, and even the half of the stone tablet containing the Taishan Prefecture Lord's legacy was about to collapse.
"Damn it! This thing has been attached to the Yin Meridian for so many years, and part of its power attribute has already merged with the Yin Meridian."
It had been slowly absorbing the power of the Yin Meridians before because it didn't want to absorb it on a large scale to avoid wasting energy. Now, if it unleashes its full power, it can even directly convert the power of the Yin Meridians into its own!"
Xie An and Fang Mingjun's expressions changed immediately, but this level of battle was beyond their ability to intervene.
From the space above, a slender, jade-like arm stretched out.
With hands clasped together in a hand seal, it was as if the world had turned upside down!
At this moment, below, as the Yin Meridian was completely crushed, countless Yin spirits and ghosts surged out from the broken point of the Yin Meridian, roaring and surging towards everyone like a tidal wave.
The expressions of everyone present immediately changed.
In the past, the Four Great Ghost Kings helped this giant hand gather the power of countless living beings.
But what this giant hand needs is the power of life, not the power of the soul.
After these beings were stripped of their life force, their three souls and seven spirits were randomly thrown into the Yin meridians, where they drifted and transformed into these ghostly creatures.
At this moment, as the Yin meridians shattered, these things surged out wildly.
Xie An and the Night Wanderer were the first to be affected, and were even directly obscured by these things.
Yang Cheng and the others also changed their expressions and formed a battle formation to resist these ghosts.
This is far more terrifying than facing the horde of ghosts in the illusion of the Ghost King Mingxin in the past.
This was no longer a ghost tide; it was practically a vast ocean!
These ghosts were all pitiful people whose lives were robbed by the four ghost kings in their previous lives, and their soul power was not particularly strong.
However, having drifted along in the Yin Meridians for so many years, as long as their souls have not been completely obliterated, their strength is not too weak.
Most importantly, there are too many of them, to the point that they are so densely packed that they cannot be completely eradicated.
Therefore, everyone had no choice but to conserve their strength and passively begin to defend themselves, waiting for Houtu of the underworld to deal with the giant bluish-gray hand so that they would have a chance to escape.
