Chapter 1917 Sealing
At this moment, the deathly aura within Master Bai's body had disappeared entirely. His soul gradually regained vitality.
Master Bai was stunned by the sudden change in his soul. "What is this?"
"You seem to… be alive again." Ouyang Feng said uncertainly.
Master Bai had never felt this refreshed in a long time. He was indeed returning to life.
Yun Lintian's image flashed through Master Bai's mind. He couldn't think of anyone who could have done this except for him.
Master Bai pondered for a while and then spoke. "Let's go. We will leave now."
"Eh?" Ouyang Feng was puzzled.
"He is likely to come out soon." Master Bai got up and prepared to leave.
"Oh." Ouyang Feng hurriedly followed Master Bai out.

At the bridge entrance, Yun Lintian stood in front of the Horse-Faced statue, looking at it curiously.
He cupped his fists and said. "Junior Yun Lintian greets Senior Horse Face. This junior came here to ask for guidance. I want to seal off the bridge and the river."
At this moment, a crimson light lit up in the Horse-Faced statue's eyes. It slowly lowered its head to look at Yun Lintian. "After millions of years, the Netherworld finally has a Yama King again."
The Horse Face looked at Gui Xuan and continued speaking. "Your ancestor and I are good friends. It's good to see his descendant here… Time surely flies."
It paused for a moment and asked. "Are you sure you want to seal the Netherworld? Do you know that it will make the dead souls here suffer?"
Yun Lintian responded firmly. "Yes, Senior. I cannot let the Netherworld reconnect with the outside world. At least, not now."
"I can understand your concerns." The Horse Face replied. "In fact, you are worrying too much. Si Junyi indeed has great ambition, but it's not something he can achieve with his current strength."
"Even if the Netherworld has successfully reconnected with the outside world, those people will never allow him to do anything. On the contrary, this will be better for you. You can use him as a shield to deal with the Primordial God Tribe."
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He couldn't understand why the Horse Face tried to persuade him.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to persuade you to give up. I'm merely expressing my opinion." The Horse Face seemed to see through Yun Lintian's thoughts.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and then explained. "Senior's suggestion is reasonable, but there are many unstable factors. We never know what will happen. There is no guarantee that Si Junyi will not cooperate with the Primordial God Tribe."
The Horse Face wanted to say something but gave up in the end. "Well, it's your call… Show me the Meng Po's Bowl."
Yun Lintian waved his hand, and Meng Po's Bowl immediately appeared in the air.
The Horse Face stared at the bowl for a while and said. "Incredible. You can actually restore it to this extent."
It paused for a second and continued speaking. "With this, you don't need to do much. Just use the power of the bowl directly."
Originally, the Horse Face and Yun Tian believed that Yun Lintian could only restore twenty percent of the bowl's power. Yun Lintian would need to sacrifice a portion of his power to make up for the rest in order to seal the bridge and the river.
Unexpectedly, Meng Po's Bowl had regained over eighty percent of its power, allowing Yun Lintian to use it directly.
"Now, infuse your spiritual energy into the bowl." The Horse Face spoke.
Yun Lintian grabbed the bowl and infused it with his spiritual energy.
Buzz—
Immediately, the bowl shone brightly, unleashing a terrifying aura that enveloped the entire region.
Everyone outside the barrier could feel it clearly. They felt as though they were being dragged into an unknown domain.
"What's going on?" Huo Xun's face turned pale. He had never encountered such a frightening aura before.
"This aura... Meng Po. H-How could it be possible?" Peng Zhen was scared witless as he spoke.
Meng Po, the Goddess of Oblivion, was known as one of the fearsome figures in the Netherworld. Whether a dead soul could embark on the path to reincarnation depended solely on her.
It could be said that everyone must respect her.
Peng Zhen lived long enough to come into contact with Meng Po's aura. He would never forget it.
"M-Meng Po?… Run!" Huo Xun was shocked.
Without further thought, Huo Xun turned around and fled immediately.
Peng Zhen was no different. He no longer dared to stay here any longer.
The Meng Po's aura quickly spread like wildfire and enveloped the entire Netherworld. Its appearance immediately alarmed everyone.
"I can see the seals." Yun Lintian spoke as he noticed the seals at the end of the bridge.
"Now, use the power of the bowl to control the seals." The Horse Face spoke.
Yun Lintian didn't hesitate to control the bowl's power. With a series of explosive noises, the bridge began to tremble as if it were about to fall apart.
Rumble—
The barrier at the entrance of the bridge shattered instantly. The fog on the bridge grew thicker to the point where nothing could be seen.
Yun Lintian could sense that the bridge was completely blocked. Without his permission, no one could enter.
"Next, locate the river and repeat the process." The Horse Face said further.
Yun Lintian concentrated his mind and quickly located the River of Forgetfulness in the Netherworld.
At this moment, he could see several spatial rifts at the bottom of the river. These spatial rifts were the one-way entrances that Si Junyi used to transport people through.
Yun Lintian infused more spiritual energy into the bowl and started sealing all the entrances beneath the river.
Rumble!
The Netherworld shook, and the River of Forgetfulness slowed down. All the spatial rifts under the river slowly dissipated one after another.
Yun Lintian didn't expect the process of sealing the Netherworld to be this simple. What surprised him the most was the lack of reaction from Si Junyi and the others. He wondered what kind of scheme they were playing.
Yun Lintian retracted his power, and the bowl slowly returned to its original state.
"They have come." The Horse Face suddenly said as it looked into the far distance ahead.
Yun Lintian immediately sensed several terrifying auras approaching him. Without a doubt, they were Si Junyi and the other emperors.
His expression turned solemn as he watched a group of people drawing closer...
