"The divine arrow flew back to the general's hand on its own, as if it had completed its mission, and its light dimmed, before the entire Netherworld Guard army had fully reacted."
"At that time, there were still many ghost tribes in the vicinity who were incited by the Light faction and were hesitant and watching from the sidelines."
Huang Ya felt a hint of pleasure:
"They witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the divine arrow, which was like divine punishment. They were so frightened that they knelt down on the spot, expressing their willingness to submit to you, Lord Rain, and vowing never to have any disloyal thoughts again!"
"After this battle, the ghosts of the entire border region now hold you in the utmost reverence. Wherever the Underworld Guards go, no one dares to disobey their orders."
"Even the ghosts of the Light faction have all gone into hiding, as if they have vanished, and have never dared to appear again."
Huang Ya concluded by saying this, his tone filled with admiration for Li Yu's power:
"The name of the Rain Lord has already resounded throughout this underground world."
Li Yu nodded slightly, her eyes calm and composed, as if the earth-shattering victory Huang Ya spoke of was simply a matter of course.
The arrows he gave out were all infused with golden energy and the power of fire. Their explosive power was enough to incinerate the soul essence of any ghost, making them a complete counter to ghosts and the natural enemy of all souls.
It would be strange if a ghost could actually block it head-on.
Now that the underworld has stabilized, all that's needed is to build a handover point for the ghosts and connect it to the mine entrance to begin transporting ghosts. Then he can directly discuss the handling of ghosts with Zhongzhou.
Li Yu's gaze returned to the slow-moving construction site outside, which resembled ants carrying grains of rice, and she frowned slightly.
This efficiency is far too slow.
This underground stronghold must be built as soon as possible and must be able to receive a large number of ghosts.
Ultimately, the main purpose of establishing strongholds is to unify registration and management; otherwise, the intrusion of a large number of unconscious ghosts would likely cause chaos in the underworld.
"The construction speed must be accelerated." Li Yu turned to Huang Ya, his tone leaving no room for argument:
"Hoping to build them up one stone at a time like this will take forever."
Huang Ya's face immediately showed shame and embarrassment: "Lord Rain, please forgive me! I will definitely supervise day and night..."
"Surging me won't help." Li Yu interrupted him directly, stood up, and walked towards the door.
"That's their limit; forcing them won't improve efficiency. We need to give them a little 'help'..."
At this point, Li Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the golden pupil in her left eye slowly lit up, becoming even more dazzling than before, as if molten gold was flowing within it.
He took out an arrow, slowly placed it in his right hand, and slightly spread his five fingers.
In an instant, a vast and boundless golden energy, like a gentle stream, slowly flowed from his left eye.
Then another triple Soul-Devouring Eye slowly opened, like a black hole.
"Nightmare Beast, lend me some energy."
"What!?" A scream came from within the mind.
Before the Nightmare Beast could complain any further, Li Yu directly mobilized the energy stored in its mental sea.
A faint milky-white energy emanated from the Soul Eater's Eyes and was also injected into the arrow.
The flowing golden and white energies slowly merged, emitting a strange glow.
"Condense!" Li Yu uttered a single word in a low voice.
The next moment, a breathtaking scene unfolded—
The arrow burst forth with light instantly, and with the continuous fusion and supply of the two energies, the arrowhead shone as brightly as a small sun.
Upon seeing the light, Huang Ya, who was standing beside him, instinctively felt afraid and turned away to avoid it.
The next moment, it was surprised to find that the light of this arrow was different from the raging flames that Li Yu had used to destroy everything. The light produced by the fusion of the two magical energies did not harm the ghost in the slightest. Instead, it gave a warm feeling of being enveloped.
"This...this is?" Huang Ya's eyes widened. The warmth he felt sent a shiver through him. Feeling the light emanating from the arrows, he exclaimed incredulously:
"My strength seems to have increased!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Yu sent the arrow flying out of the stone house and hovering above the stronghold.
The light emitted from the arrow instantly illuminated the entire stronghold area, and the ghosts all looked up in fear, their eyes filled with terror.
Having witnessed the power of the divine arrow, the underworld guards knelt down once more, bowing their heads and awaiting the Rain Lord's punishment.
The next moment, the light from the arrows above gently shone on the ghosts.
However, the expected divine punishment did not descend; instead, a gentle light and a warmth I had never felt before came.
Like people who have lived in darkness for a long time suddenly bathed in the warm spring sun, these souls, which had become somewhat ethereal due to their long stay underground, became more solid.
A low-ranking ghost, who was struggling to move a stone, suddenly lifted it with incredible ease after being illuminated by the light.
Sensing something was wrong, it tried lifting an even larger rock next to it, and just as easily.
He looked at his own soul form, his voice trembling: "It seems I have inexhaustible power!"
It quickly piled huge stones onto the stone wall, then pointed to the light above and excitedly shouted to the other ghosts:
"It's a divine arrow! It's a gift from God! It's a blessing from the Rain God!"
Upon hearing this, the fear in the eyes of the ghosts instantly turned into shock and ecstasy.
They also sensed the strengthening of their own souls, and their voices trembled with excitement:
"Me too, I'm even stronger than before!"
The underworld guards, who were bowing their heads and awaiting punishment, also noticed something amiss.
One of the patrol captains tried swinging his spear and found that the spear was swung much faster than usual.
