Chapter 22 The Core of the Nine Netherworlds
Yu Xiaoluo stood in front of Bao Shuoyu and whispered to him, "You go first, keep running towards the back. Remember, if you can get out of here this time, don't do anything bad."
In Yu Xiaoluo's eyes, Bao Shuoyu is still innocent. As long as he doesn't do bad things, he won't fall into the demonic path. And as long as he doesn't fall into the demonic path, he won't become a great demon.
I can say that I have accomplished a task.
Bao Shuyu had a strange feeling in his heart. If it were in the past, he would laugh and might even kill the person who told him not to do bad things.
However, this little girl not only protected him, but also earnestly told him not to do bad things.
Why did no one treat him this way in his first life, causing him to descend into madness?
No, no, that little girl did the same thing, but she didn't reappear.
How wonderful it would be if they could appear again, when he was completely overwhelmed by those cruel realities, when he was being betrayed and killed, and treated him with such seriousness.
No, no, those people deserve to die.
His eyes suddenly turned red.
"Run!" The crisp voice brought him back to his senses, and the bloodshot in his eyes disappeared.
He thought for a moment, then turned and left.
Yes, he couldn't reveal his true identity to this girl right now, but he didn't go far. Instead, he held his breath and hid in the shadows.
He wanted to know who this girl was and why she was protecting him so much.
Or is she like this to everyone? She's a saintly figure, but she caused the original owner a lot of embarrassing situations before, and she wasn't exactly a worry-free person either.
When it comes to serious matters, they seem to take things particularly seriously.
A burst of wild laughter rang out, and Ming Jiuyou arrived surrounded by ghosts and a small number of demonic beasts.
It was as if he were the king of this world.
Bao Shuyu exclaimed, "Damn it! When I was the Demon Lord, I received the same treatment. Is this kid honing his skills for a thousand years? What is he trying to do by creating so many ghosts and controlling so many monsters?"
"Young lady, I'm in a good mood right now, so I won't kill you for the time being. I'd like to let you, my guest, enjoy our delicious feast. Of course, if you want some, we'll serve you that too, so you can have a good meal before you die."
He clapped his hands, and several demons carried out the Eagle team members, who were bound hand and foot.
Seeing that his younger sister was still there, Yu Jiangbai shouted, "Yu Xiaoluo, run! Don't worry about us!"
Others were also shouting, "Sister, run! You're no match for them. You must live well and avenge your brothers in the future!"
"No, no, there's no need for revenge. You can't beat us anyway. Just erect a monument for us and come to offer incense and burn plenty of paper money every year during Qingming Festival!"
"Yes, sister, there's a savings certificate buried under the banyan tree by my wall. It's not much, but it'll last for a hundred years or so. I have no family left but you, so take it and spend it."
"Hey girl, I have an ancestral jade bracelet. I'm not going to find a wife, so please consider this jade bracelet as a gift from me."
Yu Xiaoluo was completely bewildered. When did I recognize them as my brothers? And they even have a share in the will? Although Yu Xiaoluo found it a bit absurd, she was still very touched.
"Hehe, brothers, you can find your own wives and spend your own money. I'm too busy to help you."
At this moment, the evil spirits set up a fire. Were they going to roast them and eat them?
Bao Shuoyu never expected that Yu Xiaoluo, who had angered his original owner to the point of running away from home, was such a lovable person, a true darling of the group.
Now, he also has feelings for her. Since she protected him, he'll lend a hand.
Is this girl in two places at this moment? With no one to help her, it's wishful thinking for her to defeat this demon and so many evil spirits all by herself.
However, she can manage here on her own for the time being and protect herself is not a problem. But if she saves so many people and doesn't break the array's core, it will still be very difficult for them to get out of here.
So Bao Shuoyu stopped paying attention to this place and rushed to the highest point of the mountain to observe the terrain and the layout of the formation.
Under Bao Shuoyu's careful observation, he couldn't help but frown. This Nine Netherworld Lord Ming Jiuyou was indeed skilled, and the layout of the Nine Netherworld location was indeed extremely difficult to break.
According to Taoist scriptures, the Nine Netherworlds are divided into nine directions according to the "Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces" corresponding to the nine provinces, with each direction representing a different attribute of the netherworld.
The east is associated with the underworld, governing the dark and gloomy energy of the east, and is related to the underworld of Mount Tai.
The south is associated with darkness and yin, symbolizing the most yin place in the south.
The west is associated with the dark night, corresponding to the eternal darkness of the west.
The north is called Youfeng, referring to Fengdu Hell in the north, which is connected to the core of the underworld.
The northeast is the capital of the underworld, which governs the final resting place of souls.
The southeast is called Youzhi, which means "to cure and refine sinful souls", similar to the Buddhist "fire pit hell".
The southwest is the Youguan Pass, a strategic pass where Yin and Yang meet, preventing the souls of the dead from returning to the world of the living.
The northwest is the Netherworld, the central hub of the underworld bureaucracy, and the place where souls are judged.
The central area is the Netherworld, the core of the Nine Netherworlds, also known as "Avici Hell," a place where the most wicked are imprisoned forever.
In the beginning of heaven and earth, the pure qi rose to the top and became the "Nine Heavens," while the turbid qi sank to the bottom and became the "Nine Netherworlds," which is the darkest and most extreme part of hell, also known as the nineteenth level of hell.
Such an extremely gloomy and dangerous layout means that no grass grows on the mountains here, no clouds enter the caves, and no living creatures are found. Only the eerie wind blows, sending chills down one's spine.
Those who die here suffer extremely painful deaths, no less than those who suffer in the eighteen levels of hell.
Moreover, as we rushed here, we saw bones and remains scattered everywhere, with rotten flesh and black blood flowing freely, the deaths were extremely horrific and tragic.
Bao Shuoyu took a deep breath. Even as the Demon Lord himself, he had rarely seen such a cruel scene, except when he went mad from slaughtering all his enemies in his previous life.
That silly girl wasn't afraid at all.
Bao Shuoyu took out a compass from his spatial storage and ran around, finally finding eight directions and marking them. However, the central position, which was the core of the Nine Netherworld, had not yet been found.
Fortunately, he had that girl dealing with Ming Jiuyou, which allowed him to proceed so smoothly. However, even so, he still had no clue where the middle position was.
Finding the center point is key to breaking the formation.
"Nine Netherworlds, the core of the Nine Netherworlds, the extreme of Yin without Yang, the ultimate of turbidity, the end of sins, the worst of hell, never to be overthrown... Nine Netherworlds, the core of the Nine Netherworlds, the extreme of Yin without Yang..." He kept repeating these words.
At this moment, the compass suddenly stopped at a certain position, which was the place where Yu Xiaoluo and Ming Jiuyou had fought earlier.
So Bao Shuoyu rushed towards the core of the Nine Netherworlds, hoping that Yu Xiaoluo was still holding back Ming Jiuyou and wouldn't die so soon, otherwise all his efforts would have been in vain.
After searching, he discovered a cave at the foot of the cliff, sealed by a stone door. On either side of the cave stood two high-level ghost demons and two demonic beasts.
"A demonic beast, huh?" He chuckled, picked up two leaves, and they materialized into two figures.
