Kyoto
Zhou Bing and Yan Chixia arrived after a long and arduous journey, but their expressions were not very pleasant.
Although this world has nothing to do with them, it is still a real world.
The various horrific scenes I witnessed along the way were utterly devastating.
Everywhere were the corpses of people who could not survive, and even cannibalism was commonplace. These tragic scenes were a constant shock to the two men.
Upon seeing the city gates of Kyoto, Zhou Bing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now I understand why Elder Chen and the Old Celestial Master wanted to carry out their operation here."
"If we don't deal with the source of this problem, how many people can we possibly save?"
Yan Chixia said with a complicated expression, "I used to work in the Six Doors, but I felt powerless, so I went to seek the Dao and traveled the world."
Zhou Bing patted Yan Chixia on the shoulder and said, "Let's join forces and carve out a bright and just world."
Before long, the two saw Wang Hu, a commander of the Imperial Guard.
Zhou Bing clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Wang, you're doing quite well. You've become a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Wang Hu chuckled and said, "He's just a mere commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Old Chen has already risen to the rank of a third-grade official and is now stirring up trouble in the court."
Zhou Bing was not surprised. Based on Chen Lao's experience as an official, a third-rank official was never his limit.
Wang Hu continued, "This time, Elder Chen sent me here to take you to support Daoist Qingchenzi."
"The situation in the capital is temporarily stable. With Elder Chen and the Old Celestial Master there, things won't get chaotic for now. However, things are not going well for Qingzhenzi."
"The ghost cave in the underworld has never been sealed off. Qingzhenzi's fire unicorn told him that if it is not sealed off, something even more terrifying will happen."
"So Qingzhenzi kept asking us for help, asking us to go and assist him in suppressing the Ghost Cave."
Zhou Bing glanced at Yan Chixia, who shrugged, indicating that he was fine.
...
Outside the Ghost Cave, Qingzhenzi felt he had exhausted himself and his face was deathly pale.
"I don't know how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive. If they don't come soon, I'll be drained dry first."
The fire qilin has lost its original majesty; the flames it spews are much smaller now.
He yelled at Qingzhenzi a few times, signaling him to hurry up and urge things on, lest things completely collapse by then.
Qingzhenzi opened the Blue Star group chat and directly @everyone: It will be a long time before everyone comes to help. If we don't come soon, the great terror inside the Ghost Cave will be released.
Trump: Sorry, I'm stuck in Hu Village right now, barely able to take care of myself, damn vixen...
Old Deng: Hahaha, that bastard Trump is finished. Tell the people of the White Eagle that Trump is finished.
Vlav: Did you guys not pay attention to what Master Qingzhenzi said? The Ghost Cave is about to be suppressed.
Mei Chuanlu: Hehe, what does it have to do with us? We're not near the Ghost Cave, so whether it's suppressed or not is none of my business.
Zhou Bing: @Meichuan Luyi, hehe, wash your neck and wait, Yamamoto Ichiki will be your fate!
Master Qingzhenzi, wait for me. Wang Hu, another expert, and I are on our way.
Qingzhenzi felt relieved when he saw Zhou Bing's reply. Finally, someone had come. If they hadn't come, he would have been completely drained.
In the distance, Zhou Bing and Wang Hu were standing on a giant sword, rushing towards the Ghost Cave.
Yan Chixia asked in confusion, "Brother Zhou, who are you talking to? Why are you so agitated?"
Zhou Bing raised an eyebrow, wondering if he could pull Yan Chixia into the Blue Star chat group.
With a virtual tap of their fingers, a prompt appeared in front of Zhou Bing and Wang Hu.
[Invitation request fulfilled. Confirm invitation to the other party?]
Zhou Bing was taken aback. He hadn't expected it to actually work, but the prerequisite was to meet the invitation request. He didn't know what the requirements were, and there was no prompt.
Yan Chixia tapped his finger to confirm, and a voice immediately appeared in his mind.
"Zhou Bing invites you to join the Blue Star Chat Group. Do you agree or not?"
Yan Chixia was very curious, but he didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
[Yan Chixia has joined the group chat!]
The entire group chat instantly erupted in excitement!
"Damn, locals can join the group chat too. Does this mean Yan Chixia has gained the shop owner's approval?"
"I'll give it a try too! Wow, why can't I do it?!"
"Not just anyone can do it; certain prerequisites must be met."
At this moment, Qingzhenzi finally saw Zhou Bing and the others, and said excitedly, "You've finally arrived."
The group didn't even have time to greet each other; they all stared at the ghost cave with grave expressions. The situation here was far more serious than Qingzhenzi had described.
Wang Hu said sternly, "Let's not reminisce for now, let's suppress the problems here first!"
Having said that, he slashed out with his right hand, wielding the Yuanhong Sword, which had been strengthened many times, cleaving a demon that was about to crawl out in half at the waist.
Yan Chixia roared, "Heaven and earth are boundless, borrow the power of heaven and earth!"
At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and a giant Bagua formation descended from the sky, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please guard the core of the formation."
Wang Hu, Zhou Bing, and Qingzhenzi entered the formation to suppress the giant Bagua formation, while the Fire Qilin began to protect the formation, constantly eliminating the evil spirits that came to attack.
As time went by, more and more evil spirits poured out of the ghost cave, but they were all suppressed by the combined efforts of everyone.
However, they discovered that these evil spirits seemed endless, constantly crawling out of the ghost cave.
At this moment, Wang Hu frowned, realizing that things couldn't continue like this.
He looked at Qingzhenzi and asked, "Master Qingzhenzi, what exactly is going on? Why are there so many evil spirits?"
Qingzhenzi's expression was grave as he explained, "This ghost cave connects to the Netherworld. It should have been sealed off, but the seal has loosened, causing a large number of evil spirits to pour out. We must find and repair the seal as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Wang Hu nodded, indicating that he understood. He turned to Yan Chixia and Zhou Bing and said, "You two, continue to guard this place. Qingzhenzi and I will go to find the seal."
Yan Chixia and Zhou Bing exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Alright! Be careful!"
So Wang Hu and Qingzhenzi left the great formation together and went deep into the Ghost Cave to search for the seal.
Along the way, they encountered many powerful evil spirits, but with their superb swordsmanship and profound magic, they successfully defeated them one by one.
Finally, they arrived deep inside the Ghost Cave and found the broken seal.
After careful observation, Qingzhenzi said with a wry smile, "This seal requires special materials to repair, and it will take some time to set up the formation."
Wang Hu frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Qingzhenzi pondered for a moment, then said, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's buy some in the group first."
