"What?" Zhou Yuanyuan was shocked. Being able to sense the aura of the Void Stone? Such a thing existed in the underworld? Then...was Wen Ziqing in danger? Zhou Yuanyuan felt a buzzing in her head. She opened her mouth to think, but no sound came out.
"Hahaha... Sister Yuanyuan, are you surprised too? When I first heard him say that, I thought he was a liar!" Yan Hei laughed loudly, thinking that Zhou Yuanyuan was happy for him, and he became even happier.
"Brother Heizi, isn't the Kongming Stone in the human world? Even if your new disciple can sense the location of the Kongming Stone, it is too far away, right?" In desperation, Zhou Yuanyuan remembered the "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation" that she had read before.
Zhou Yuanyuan remembered from "Cultivation Miscellaneous Talks" that the three realms of humans, ghosts, and immortals were each separated by their own boundaries. Even immortals couldn't freely travel between the three realms, and could only roam between the immortal and human realms. Ghosts in the underworld, the lowest of the three realms, were confined to the underworld and could only wander into the human realm for a few hours each year during the Ghost Festival.
Although the ghost that can sense the Kongming Stone is powerful, Wen Ziqing is not going to the underworld. No matter how powerful the ghost is, it should not be able to find Wen Ziqing... right?
Immediately afterwards, Yan Hei's words shattered Zhou Yuanyuan's fantasy.
"Sister Yuanyuan, let me tell you, Arei can freely travel between the human world and the underworld. His clan is special and can practice the ghost way in a living body. After the practice is successful, he will be half human and half ghost. By the way, when Arei transformed into a ghost, he walked in the sun and was no different from an ordinary human. Arei also said that he had seen the Kongming Stone before. Before Arei practiced the ghost way, the Kongming Stone was their clan's sacred stone and had been enshrined in the temple of their Nawa tribe..."
"Cha Rui?" Zhou Yuanyuan exclaimed. She had only seen one Nawa man, half-human, half-ghost, whose body could transform into ghostly mist. Cha Rui was the one Zhou Yuanyuan had seen.
"Huh? So, sister Yuanyuan, you know A Rui?" Yan Hei was surprised to hear Zhou Yuanyuan call out Cha Rui's full name. His sister Yuanyuan had a wide circle of friends! She even knew a half-human, half-ghost like A Rui. Did she have many secrets that he didn't know?
Zhou Yuanyuan's face turned black.
She and Cha Rui are more than just acquaintances, they are enemies!
Thinking of Yan Hei's words just now, which showed his respect for Cha Rui, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have any grudges between her and Cha Rui, and said lightly: "Well, I met Cha Rui once before."
Zhou Yuanyuan was ambushed by Cha Rui at the Nawa tribe's base. Although it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and the Chaos Pearl absorbed a lot of Yinming Water, the hatred between Zhou Yuanyuan and Cha Rui was still formed.
Zhou Yuanyuan admitted she wasn't very magnanimous. She couldn't spare the time to deal with Cha Rui right now, but asking her to make peace with Cha Rui because of Yan Hei? That was simply impossible.
"Great! Sister Yuanyuan, I was worried that you would beat A Rui away when he came to find you!" Yan Hei didn't seem to care at all about the indifference in Zhou Yuanyuan's tone, and said eagerly: "Sister Yuanyuan, I asked A Rui to go to the human world to find the Kongming Stone. If there is a chance, I hope you can help him."
"Oh? So, Brother Heizi, you are in a hurry to find me because you want Cha Rui to be responsible for finding the Kongming Stone from now on, right?" Zhou Yuanyuan said this, but in her heart she was secretly thinking about how to inform Wen Ziqing.
If Wen Ziqing is on guard, Cha Rui's cultivation level shouldn't pose a threat to Wen Ziqing. Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little more at ease.
"No, no, no, Sister Yuanyuan, that's not what I meant." Yan Hei was so anxious that he was sweating. He asked Cha Rui to go to the human world, not to let Zhou Yuanyuan go. He was thinking that there is strength in numbers! One more person looking for the Kongming Stone means more chances!
If Yan Hei couldn't leave the underworld, he would have wanted to come to the human world in person.
"Brother Heizi, to be honest, I've been really busy lately. I agreed to help because you were short on manpower. Now that you have Cha Rui to call on, I can focus on my own affairs. Isn't that right?" Zhou Yuanyuan was desperate to shirk the responsibility of finding the Kongming Stone for Yan Hei. She did this for no other reason than to make everyone look better when Yan Hei learned the truth.
"Sister Yuanyuan, you can't just leave it alone! This Kongming Stone is related to your brother's life and property! The human world is so big, I know you have something to do, so I asked A Rui to help you, but I don't mean to distrust you." Yan Hei thought about it at this moment, and felt that he asked Cha Rui to do the same thing as Zhou Yuanyuan, which seemed to be suspected of not trusting Zhou Yuanyuan, so he hurried to explain.
Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare. Yan Hei only believed her now, did he think she was a fool? Forget it, forget it. It was her fault in the first place, hiding Kong Ming's whereabouts from Yan Hei.
"Brother Heizi, I understand. However, I don't have any good feelings towards Cha Rui. Tell him not to come to see me. He can do his thing and I can do mine. We won't interfere with each other." Zhou Yuanyuan was really afraid that Cha Rui would come to her house. Zhou Yuanyuan had no interest in dealing with such a vicious person.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yuanyuan, since you don't like Arui, I'll tell him not to bother you." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't ignore him anymore, Yan Hei quickly agreed.
"Brother Heizi, I have something to do. If you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up." After Zhou Yuanyuan finished speaking, she unilaterally cut off the connection between Hei Yu Shi and Yan Hei.
Yan Hei looked at the darkened black jade key in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He still had a lot to do with Sister Yuanyuan! It seemed that Sister Yuanyuan really didn't like this Cha Rui. When she heard Cha Rui's name, she didn't even want to talk to him.
Yan Hei has been wandering along the banks of the Wangchuan River.
In the past, when Yan Hei was in charge of the underworld, he only needed to summon the Order of the Lord of the Underworld to find out if there were any matters in the underworld that needed his attention.
This time, Yan Hei had just returned to the Underworld, but before he could access the Underworld Lord's Order, the Order dissipated. How many residents were left in the Underworld? How many urgent matters did Yan Hei need to attend to immediately? How many cities in the Underworld were still functioning normally? Yan Hei was completely clueless about all of this.
For all this, Yan Hei could only rely on his own spiritual sense, groping along the Wangchuan River inch by inch, trying to find the remaining residents of the underworld.
A few days passed, Yan Hei searched for more than a thousand kilometers, but did not see even a ghost.
Oh, that's not quite right. Yesterday, Yan Hei discovered Cha Rui floating in the Wangchuan River.
