Chapter 1858 Gateway To The Netherworld (3)
When Yun Lintian emerged, Mu Yan and San Mao were stunned by his appearance.
"Incredible." Mu Yan said with a hint of surprise. "You have turned into a real ghost."
San Mao touched his chin as he looked Yun Lintian up and down. "This disguise is perfect. I cannot see through it."
Hongyue and Yun Yi felt even more relieved after hearing this. They were now fully confident in Yun Lintian's disguise.
"I have explored the Black Lake earlier. There is a flow of Netherworld aura within. However, anyone who enters will definitely be corrupted." San Mao said with a frown. "This aura is something we can't resist."
"Let's take a look at it first." Yun Lintian spoke and asked San Mao to remove the barrier.
Song Kang and the others looked over and were stunned by Yun Lintian's appearance, similar to Mu Yan and San Mao's.
"I have seen a lot of bravadoes before, but he is definitely at the top of the list." Chen Ze said in a low voice. He still stood by his opinion that Yun Lintian's attempt was nothing but a foolish action.
"That's why you are here." Song Kang took a sip of wine and said. "You have lived for a long time, but your vision is too limited. Why do you consider it a foolish decision when you see his current appearance?"
Chen Ze frowned in dissatisfaction. He couldn't understand what Song Kang was talking about.
Hong Rou added. "Have you ever seen anyone who can disguise their appearance and aura to such perfection?"
Chen Ze took a closer look at Yun Lintian and realized that he couldn't see through his disguise at all. One could certainly conceal their aura and appearance, but it was almost impossible to change them entirely. It could be seen how powerful Yun Lintian was.
"I suddenly thought of someone." Feng Miao spoke.
Song Kang's hand stopped in midair as he suddenly thought of something. He nodded his head slowly. "Come to think of it. They are indeed similar. Perhaps they are related."
The person they were discussing was none other than the Beyond Heaven King. It was impossible for them not to know about him after staying here for millions of years.
"Didn't he blow himself up?" Chen Ze was puzzled. "How could he leave such a complete legacy behind?"
"Who knows?" Song Kang shrugged nonchalantly.
Yun Lintian ignored Song Kang's group and headed to the Black Lake. The closer he got, the stronger the aura of the Netherworld became. If it weren't for his strong connection to the dark element, he would find it unbearable by now.
San Mao waved his hand to create a protective barrier around everyone. "Why don't we ask the Master first?"
He wasn't sure if Yun Lintian could enter the lake.
"There's no need to trouble Senior Lin. I can do it." Yun Lintian said confidently.
San Mao nodded and said nothing further.
Yun Lintian's group arrived at the lake. They gazed into the black-as-ink water and saw nothing but the intense aura of the Netherworld.
"It's different from the past." Yun Yi said calmly. "Back then, there wasn't such a presence here, and the water wasn't so dark."
"Water... Play." While everyone was lost in thought, Gui Xuan suddenly ran to the lake with short legs and jumped into it with a splash.
Yun Lintian and the others were stunned. When they were about to pull Gui Xuan over, they suddenly discovered that Gui Xuan was safe and sound. He could swim freely without any harm.
"A descendant of the Black Turtle God." Song Kang muttered to himself. "I almost forgot that the Black Turtle God was known as the guardian of the River of Forgetfulness... No wonder he is confident."
Chen Ze felt like a fool as he stared at Gui Xuan. He completely forgot about this point as well. With Gui Xuan around, Yun Lintian should have no problem reaching the Netherworld.
"Should we follow them?" Chen Ze suddenly had an idea.
"Go ahead." Feng Miao curled her lips in disdain.
Chen Ze opened his mouth, but no words came out in the end. Although he was an avatar of his true self, he didn't want to kill himself by taking such a risk.
"You have to keep an eye on him," Hongyue said with a soft sigh. She was concerned that Gui Xuan would create unnecessary trouble in the Netherworld.
Yun Lintian touched his nose in embarrassment. "I know."
This was the second time he had neglected Gui Xuan and let him run away.
"Let me try." Yun Lintian spoke and then put his right leg into the lake. The moment his leg touched the water, an incredibly cold sensation immediately washed over him. However, there had been no harm so far.
"It's fine." Yun Lintian said.
Hongyue thought momentarily and tried to dip her leg into the lake. However, she instantly withdrew her leg before it touched the water.
"It hurts my soul." Hongyue took a deep breath to calm down. She felt a sharp pain in her soul as her leg was about to touch the water.
"It directly damages our souls." Yun Yi spoke as he poked the water with his finger.
"Alright. You don't have to try further. It's too dangerous." Yun Lintian quickly stopped them.
He looked at everyone and said. "I will leave first."
"Go. Come back safely." Hongyue said in a rare, gentle voice.
"Good luck." San Mao said.
"Don't forget to bring back some local specialties." Mu Yan spoke with a smile.
"I will." Yun Lintian chuckled.
He entrusted Linlin and Qingqing to Hongyue, nodded to Jin Long and Yun Yi, and then jumped into the lake.
Seeing that Yun Lintian was completely fine, Hongyue and the others let go of the worries in their hearts.
Yun Lintian swam to Gui Xuan and spoke with a serious expression. "Have you forgotten our agreement? Do not leave me on your own again, understand?"
Gui Xuan tilted his head to look at Yun Lintian with puzzlement. Evidently, he didn't understand what he said.
"Forget it." Yun Lintian sighed helplessly. "Let's go."
He grabbed Gui Xuan and dove into the darkness.
The world beneath the lake was absolutely dark. However, Yun Lintian was able to see his surroundings through the Eyes of Heaven.
What came into view were several carcasses of ancient beasts. There were also human bodies. They appeared to be peacefully sleeping. However, Yun Lintian could see that their souls had been taken away by something...
