Chapter 498: The Snake Path of the Forgotten River
In the netherworld, following the tributary of the Forgotten River, there is an endless waterway that winds like a long snake.
It is a special waterway called "Snake Road" by the Huangquan Clan. It is also the only known channel in the Netherworld that can directly connect to the outside world.
Going downstream along the "Snake Path", you will pass by all the old temples and eventually arrive at the Luo Tianjun Temple located in the "Land of Three Lives".
Generally speaking, apart from those members of the Huangquan tribe who plan to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm for vacation, few people would take this "snake path".
In most cases, in order to avoid offending the Lord of the Underworld, even ghosts and gods will deliberately avoid the route of the Snake Path, not to mention those evil ghosts who do not want to be reincarnated.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
For example, now, a ghost with an ugly and ferocious face is going down the "Snake Path".
Although he was not on any ship, this ghost was floating on the Forgotten River, and the evil ghosts along the way were trying to avoid him.
That kind of deterrent power, like a natural enemy, is far greater than the panic brought to the evil ghosts by the Huangquan clan and other ghosts and gods.
However, what is more strange is that behind this ugly ghost, there is actually a little ghost following.
Completely ignoring the deterrent power of the ugly ghost, the little ghost kept following behind the other party quietly, and would dodge and hide from time to time.
Even though these behaviors seem ridiculous.
But the ugly ghost seemed to have really not noticed the little ghost and kept moving forward.
Until an unwilling evil ghost in the Wangchuan River wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack the little ghost and drag the other party to take the blame for himself.
A precious sword suddenly fell from the sky without warning, piercing through the opponent's crown.
In an instant, the originally calm Forgotten River became chaotic.
The evil spirits who were unable to escape from the Forgotten River struggled in panic, trying to escape from this dangerous water area.
As the target of the ambush, the little ghost stood there in a daze, not realizing that he had once again been to the gates of hell.
Of course, the only one who didn't realize this was the kid himself.
All the other evil ghosts in the Forgotten River who saw this scene finally realized that it was not that the ugly ghost did not notice the little ghost's tracking.
On the contrary, the ugly ghost has been paying attention to the little ghost's actions.
Once an evil ghost attempts to attack the little ghost, the elusive ghost-slaying sword will kill it without hesitation.

"Is that the evil one?"
Standing on the shore of the "Snake Path".
A skinny Huangquan tribe member with crow wings also noticed this scene.
This member of the Huangquan clan is an operator under Luo Tianjun, and is specifically responsible for guarding the evil spirits in this section of the river and maintaining order in this area.
In this way, it was able to arrive at the scene in the first time and see the scene of the Demon-Slaying Sword killing the evil ghost.
This person from the Huangquan clan was originally wondering who that ugly ghost was and how he dared to cross the Wangchuan River.
But this doubt was resolved the moment he saw the Demon-Slaying Sword.
At this time, it appeared in the "Snake Road" and had a terrifying deterrent effect on ordinary evil spirits and even ghosts and gods...
The only ghost who dared to confront the "Judge of the Underworld" when he was born - Ekui.
It is said that the birth of this ghost god attracted the attention of the goddess of death and that he was an alien soul artificially created by the mountain and sea civilization.
Although he is born as a ghost, he feeds on ghosts.
Before it turned into a ghost or god, it even absorbed the power of the Forgotten River to reshape itself, which once aroused the vigilance of the Heavenly Kings.
"But what's up with that little ghost behind Evil Kui?"
"Why haven't I heard that it has a companion imp?"
Looking at the little ghost who quickly hid himself again with some puzzlement, the Huangquan clan scratched his head in confusion.
The Huangquan Clan quickly uploaded what they saw through the [Spirit World Network], and their confusion was soon answered through the discussions and speeches of their peers.
The little ghost in front of him is not the companion ghost of Ekui.
It is a child ghost of a mother and child ghost that were killed by the evil Kui, and for some unknown reason it was kept by him.
As for the origin of the mother and child ghost?
The truth was gradually revealed through the piecing together of the words of the Huangquan people.
The Huangquan Clan who manages that area is not unaware of the existence of the mother and child ghosts.
It just feels sorry for the mother and son.
In addition, the mother and child ghosts themselves did not have much resentment, but were unwilling to reincarnate because of their obsession, so they were allowed to occupy that area.
At the very least, before the mother and child ghosts evolved into existence that could truly destroy the world order, the Huangquan clan had no intention of taking action.
In fact, when the man from the Huangquan clan learned that the mother ghost had been killed, he was not only shocked but also angry.
If it weren't for the limitations of his own duties, the person from the Huangquan clan would have started hunting down Ekui long ago.
Such behavior is not uncommon among the Huangquan tribe, especially for some of them who are not afraid of ghosts and gods.
"So, that little devil wanted to avenge his mother?"
Looking at the little ghost who was trying hard to hide his whereabouts with a strange expression, the Huangquan tribe was a little dazed.
But after they came to their senses, the Huangquan clan inevitably turned their attention back to Ekui.
Since he knew that the little devil wanted to avenge his mother, why did Evil Kui still protect him?
"Are you regretting it?"
Shaking their heads in confusion, the Huangquan clan really could not understand the logic behind Ekui's behavior.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, this ghost who can "eat ghosts" does not seem to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as rumored by the outside world.
At least when it comes to treating this little devil, it seems to still retain some humanity.
"Everyone has to pay the price for what they do, even ghosts and gods are no exception."
Staring deeply at the receding figure of Ekui, the Huangquan clan knew that the cause and effect between it and the little ghost would not be resolved so quickly.
There is a huge gap between momentary kindness and true kindness.
There are many ghosts and gods born in the sea of red spider lilies, all of whom are looking for the humanity they once lost.
There are many successes among them, but there are even more failures.
And those ghosts and gods who have not recovered their own humanity and always regard all living beings as ants will eventually be killed by the [Judge of the Underworld].
In Shen Tu's words, if you can't empathize with all living beings and use your own abilities carefully, then such ruthless ghosts and gods don't need you! "Speaking of which, is that evil Kui planning to leave the underworld?"
"It's not that easy for a ghost of its level to leave the underworld!"
"What's more, if I remember correctly, Ghost Gate seems to have a very dedicated guardian recently."
