Zhou Yuanyuan felt that what Chaos Pearl said made sense.
"This token of mine is made of Kongming Stone. Oh, I forgot, sister Yuanyuan, you probably don't know what Kongming Stone is. Let me tell you! Kongming Stone comes from the God Realm, and it can devour and purify all souls..." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was curious about the Mingjun Token in his hand, Yan Hei did not hide it and listed all the benefits of Kongming Stone.
In short, only when Yan Hei has this token in his hand can he command all members of the underworld and jointly create a beautiful home in the underworld.
"Is that so? Master, I think Little Stone came to this time and space, maybe he really came with a mission." Before Zhou Yuanyuan could say anything, the Chaos Pearl added fuel to the fire.
Zhou Yuanyuan was silent.
If, as Yan Hei said, Wen Ziqing possessed the Void Stone, it would truly be a security risk. Although Yan Hei was magnanimous, he couldn't be so magnanimous as to not care about the position of the Lord of the Underworld.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Brother Heizi, you must be a diligent and conscientious person to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Yuanyuan." Yan Hei rubbed his hands together happily after hearing Zhou Yuanyuan say this. Everyone likes to hear good words, and Yan Hei must be happy to have his efforts recognized.
"I wish you all the best on your journey, Brother Heizi." Zhou Yuanyuan waved goodbye to Yan Hei. She had learned everything she needed to know, and she didn't want to waste any more time here. She was still worried about Wen Ziqing, who was on a mission.
"Okay, I really have to go now. Sister Yuanyuan, if you need my help in the future, just hold the key and call my name. As long as I'm still in this time and space, I'll definitely hear you." Before leaving, Yan Hei explained another function of the key. Of course, Yan Hei only activated the key's communication function because of his close relationship with Zhou Yuanyuan.
There's even this benefit? Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed with joy.
In this way, Zhou Yuanyuan won’t have to worry about not being able to find Yan Hei for help in the future.
Yan Hei glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan, who was looking at the key over and over again, then flashed out of the fairy palace and escaped underground.
The immortal world is in the sky, the human world is on the earth, and the underworld is underground.
Although Yan Hei assured Zhou Yuanyuan that his position as Lord of the Underworld was secure, he remained somewhat uncertain. He had only been in office for 40,000 years, had been active for only 10,000 years, and had been missing for over 30,000 years. He didn't even know what the Underworld looked like now.
Without him, does the underworld function as smoothly as before? Did that villain Yan Xiao, who failed to become the Underworld Lord, become the "Acting Underworld Lord"? All of this can only be investigated after Yan Hei returns to his own territory.
What's more, the underworld has lost the Yinming River.
The Yinming River, a branch of the Wangchuan River, joins with the Huangquan River, another branch of the Wangchuan River, to form the renowned Wangchuan River of the underworld. The waters of the Wangchuan River are a blend of the Yinming River and the Huangquan River. Legend has it that the waters of the Wangchuan River can cleanse all souls in the world. Only souls cleansed of their seven emotions and six desires can re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Does the Wangchuan Water, which has lost the Yinming Water, still have the function of cleansing the soul?
Recalling Zhou Yuanyuan's previous hesitant remarks about the collapse of the passage between the underworld and the human world, Yan Hei became even more anxious.
Let’s not talk about how the anxious Yan Hei tries to regain his power, let’s just talk about Zhou Yuanyuan.
After Yan Hei left, Zhou Yuanyuan immediately collected the key and left the "Immortal Residence" with the Chaos Pearl. After all, the "Immortal Residence" belonged to Zhou Yuanyuan now, so it wouldn't be too late to keep it and explore it later. Her most urgent task was to quickly find Wen Ziqing.
Before setting off, Zhou Yuanyuan had a premonition that Wen Ziqing would encounter danger on this trip. She had just wasted a lot of time with Yan Hei, and Zhou Yuanyuan was extremely anxious at this time.
After Zhou Yuanyuan left the "immortal mansion," she saw nothing but ruins. If it weren't for the monk's powerful memory, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't have been able to tell that this pile of ruins was the original stone chamber.
It was quiet all around.
Zhou Yuanyuan's heart tightened. Is it over?
Zhou Yuanyuan released her spiritual sense and saw outside the cave that Meng Xiaohu was leading a group of warriors, escorting dozens of disheveled women and children towards Xiangyang Town. Among them were several tall, burly men tied up with ropes.
What surprised Zhou Yuanyuan was that among the group of disheveled people, there were Zhu Xiaojuan and Liu Meiling.
Zhou Yuanyuan was busy now, and knowing that Zhu Xiaojuan and Liu Meiling would be safe under the protection of Meng Xiaohu and others, she withdrew her spiritual sense.
Zhou Yuanyuan walked around the ruins and headed towards the stairs that Liu Jingyun had just come down.
Meng Xiaohu and the others had just left, and Wen Ziqing was nowhere to be seen among the group. Zhou Yuanyuan knew without hesitation that Wen Ziqing must have stayed behind to clean up the mess.
Liu Jingyun's strength was far inferior to Zhou Yuanyuan's, but not much worse than Wen Ziqing's. Every cultivator had a trick or two to save their lives, but when Liu Jingyun couldn't escape, he would rather die with Wen Ziqing. What should he do?
Zhou Yuanyuan was worried about Wen Ziqing, so she rushed up the stairs in a few steps.
A strong smell of blood lingered in the side hall, and several sword marks were clearly visible on the wall.
It seems that Wen Ziqing and Liu Jingyun fought a few moves here.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked around the hall but found no other clues. She only saw a bloody monk's robe floating on the ground where Huikong had been lying.
Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that the monk's robe was exactly the one Huikong had worn. Had Huikong been killed? Was it Liu Jingyun's doing? Or was it Wen Ziqing's accidental injury?
Zhou Yuanyuan suppressed her nausea, lifted up the monk's robe and took a look, and was immediately stunned by a layer of blood foam underneath the robe.
Zhou Yuanyuan frowned. If she was right, Huikong must have been killed by Liu Jingyun. Even if Wen Ziqing had accidentally injured Huikong, he wouldn't do something as perverted as mincing someone to pieces.
It seemed that Liu Jingyun's life must be spared today. Sometimes, killing to stop killing was a necessary option. If a psychopathic cultivator like Liu Jingyun were to wander around in the secular world, innocent people would surely suffer.
Zhou Yuanyuan swept her spiritual sense across the area and shot out in a direction like lightning.
Zhou Yuanyuan was right in her guess. Huikong's death was caused by Liu Jingyun.
Liu Jingyun was very upset after losing his "immortal residence".
Liu Jingyun had always relied on his "Immortal Mansion". He had never backed up the cultivation resources, elixirs, magic weapons, and techniques in the gongfa building that Xiao Hei had given him, but had kept them directly in his "Immortal Mansion".
In Liu Jingyun's view, his "Immortal Palace" was the safest place, and he never thought that one day his "Immortal Palace" would be robbed.
