The Inn of the Underworld.
The inn was bustling and noisy.
Qin Luo and Yan Nian were playing chess quietly.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces intertwined like stars in the sky. Yan Nian stared intently at the game, knowing that victory or defeat hung in the balance. He had to carefully consider every move he made.
"Waaaaah!"
The little devil ran into the inn, grabbed Qin Luo's arm, and sobbed, "Brother, those evil spirits bullied me, you have to help me get revenge!"
Seeing the kid's bruised and swollen face, Qin Luo reached out and gently stroked the kid's head, smiling as he comforted him, "You shouldn't provoke them in the future."
"You're not convinced?"
A cold, clear voice rang out.
Li Hongshang appeared in the inn. She was tall and had an arrogant air about her. The temperature in the inn rose, and the little devil immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment, Yan Nian was still thinking about how to break the deadlock. Qin Luo looked at Li Hongshang with a smile and asked, "Fairy Li, have you prepared the materials to repair the divine tree?"
Li Hongshang sighed softly, "We have a limited amount of immortal gold, and it may take some time."
Qin Luo felt that waiting here wasn't a solution. "Fairy Li, where is Immortal Gold mainly distributed?"
"I know that Immortal Gold is mainly distributed near the haunted nests, brother, I'll take you there." The little devil grinned foolishly, wanting to follow Qin Luo to collect treasures.
Qin Luo looked at Yan Nian, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Senior, I'll go to the Fiend's Nest first, and we'll continue this game after I return."
"good!"
Yan Nian nodded with a smile.
He was deep in thought when Qin Luo went to the den of the vengeful spirits, giving him ample time to devise a strategy.
Upon hearing that Qin Luo was going to the haunted house, Li Hongshang said with a charming smile, "Master Qin, I'll go with you."
Qin Luo nodded, "Then let's go."
Stepping out of the Yellow Springs Inn, Qin Luo looked at the tiger demon resting not far away and said solemnly, "Stay here and don't cause any trouble."
"promise!"
The tiger demon was overjoyed. Last time it followed Qin Luo to the Cycle of Reincarnation, it almost died from exhaustion. The Forbidden Land of the Underworld was very dangerous, and the tiger demon dared not run around recklessly.
...
Much later.
Deep within the forbidden land of the Yellow Springs.
The endless blood-red plains were strewn with white bones, and the air was thick with the aura of death. This place was similar to the scene Qin Luo had seen in the inner realm.
roar!
The roar of a monster could be heard in the distance.
Qin Luo asked with some confusion, "Fairy Li, why are these demons here?"
Li Hongshang explained with a smile: "These demons are sealed demons. Back then, the Demon Emperor wanted to replace the Heavenly Dao, but after his failure, the demons were purged, and a large number of demons were sealed deep in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land. Later, the Underworld was in turmoil, and the four Ghost Emperors fought each other. One of the Ghost Emperors made an agreement with a powerful demon to release these sealed demons."
"Because the demon race was sealed for a long time, many of them became monsters that only knew how to kill. Only some demons retained their consciousness. The monsters devoured each other, and magic crystals containing a large amount of primordial matter were born in their bodies. Fortunately, the demons can purify the magic crystals into source stones."
"I see."
Qin Luo asked softly, "Is Jasmine a demon?"
Li Hongshang nodded and smiled, "That's right, with her here, we can obtain the source stones."
As they were talking, a monster approached. A giant black scorpion covered in armor attacked, raising dust on the ground, and quickly appeared in front of them.
Li Hongshang's eyes gleamed with fiery red. She formed a hand seal, and the surrounding temperature instantly rose. Then, flames descended from the sky, engulfing the demons.
The flames spread into the distance.
A fiery road was burned through the wasteland.
Seeing Li Hongshang's terrifying power, Qin Luo understood why the little devil was so obedient to her. Watching the demon being pulverized, Li Hongshang said softly, "Go and retrieve the magic crystal."
"Fifty-fifty split?"
"Even if you lose a single piece, you'll pay with your life."
"You're ruthless."
The little devil obediently ran off to collect the magic crystal.
Qin Luo looked at Li Hongshang and said softly, "Fairy Li, you're not human, are you?"
Li Hongshang nodded with a smile, "Master Qin guessed correctly, I am a descendant of the gods."
"Fairy Li, do you wish to be reincarnated?"
Li Hongshang shook her head and chuckled, "I'm not interested in reincarnation. I just want to run the Yellow Springs Inn well and listen to the stories of those who reincarnate on the path of reincarnation."
As they spoke, a large number of demons approached. These demons were fearless and would gather more and more as they heard the noise. Li Hongshang and Qin Luo attacked at the same time, and the tribulation lightning and heavenly fire complemented each other, quickly wiping out all the demons around them.
The little devil is in charge of collecting the magic crystals scattered around.
Qin Luo looked at the darkened earth in the distance, "Fairy Li, I have a feeling that there should be immortal gold over there."
Li Hongshang frowned slightly. "Master Qin, immortal gold is generally an extremely yang substance, surrounded by abundant yang energy. However, the yin energy in that area is extremely heavy, so there shouldn't be any immortal gold there."
Qin Luo said confidently, "Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing; a place of extreme Yin may contain things of extreme Yang."
"Master Qin is right, let's go take a look." Li Hongshang and Qin Luo walked towards the place where the yin energy was gathering. The little ghost quickly followed them, shivering involuntarily, "It's so cold, where is this place?"
Li Hongshang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. "The Yin Sha Land is so dangerous that even demons dare not approach it. There may be great danger nearby."
A chilling wind swept over us.
The little devil trembled from the wind.
Li Hongshang frowned and looked at Qin Luo, only to find that he was unaffected.
A crater appeared before them.
In the crater, there was a blood-stained flag. The flagpole was made of immortal gold and emitted a faint golden light.
Qin Luo sensed a dense baleful aura, heard shrill cries in his ears, and felt the void distort as the flags fluttered, the terrifying energy seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart.
