Chapter 699: Chapter 291: Netherworld Emerges, First-Transformation Wine Gu, Another Spirit Technique Gained
"We’re heading southwest, let’s go."
The last rays of the sunset were about to fade.
But Fu Changsheng still hadn’t seen the Yellow River mentioned by the system.
At this moment, anxiety flickered in Yu Qingru’s eyes: "Changsheng, it’s going to be completely dark soon, and the temple is still nowhere to be seen. Should we change direction?"
It’s too late to change direction now.
Moreover, he firmly believed the system wouldn’t provide incorrect information; the only possibility was that the temple mentioned in the intelligence was too far away:
"Xiaoqing, transform!"
Time was of the essence.
There was no need to hold back now.
"Hiss~"
The Cyan Flood Dragon shot out from Fu Changsheng’s sleeve, a surge of blue light flooding out. What was initially a three-foot-long demon body suddenly turned into tens of feet:
"Go."
The three of them lightly tapped their toes on the ground and landed gently on the back of the Cyan Flood Dragon. The dragon’s tail swayed, and its body suddenly accelerated towards the southwest.
The Cyan Flood Dragon flew at an extremely fast speed.
The wind on both sides howled with a sharp whistling sound.
Having broken through to Tier Three, the Cyan Flood Dragon’s speed was much faster than before; even a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator might not be able to catch up.
Yu Qingru and Yaoyao were visibly more at ease.
Just then, a song arose, as if it wafted from the Nine Netherworld Hell:
"O poor me, a beautiful life cut short in the Netherworld, the ghostly spirit endlessly lingers."
Fu Changsheng turned his head to look.
Where the sound passed, the ground was instantly shrouded in complete darkness.
The sound was coming closer.
It was like someone was rapidly approaching them.
The darkness swiftly spread towards them.
The speed was so great that even the Cyan Flood Dragon couldn’t outrun it.
Moreover.
What was more bizarre was:
As the song spread, some demon beasts caught in the darkness seemed to have their souls drained. The eyes of those originally fierce beasts became hollow, and their bodies started to tremble violently. Instantly, with a "boom," they exploded one after another. The scene of blood and flesh flying was terrifying:
"Xiaoqing, hurry!"
They must not be caught by this evil entity.
The demon body of Xiaoqing shuddered slightly, and with an angry roar, it suddenly unleashed a bloodline spiritual art within its body. In a blink, its enormous body seemed to merge with the wind and disappeared in an instant.
However.
The darkness stuck to them like a shadow.
The song became clearer with an invisible magic power in its tune:
"Loathe the world where good and evil are indistinguishable, woe befalls, leaving me to sigh alone in the Netherworld."
Another verse came, making the air around them seem chillingly cold.
Fu Changsheng scanned with his Divine Sense.
Suddenly, he saw a raging Yellow River:
"Xiaoqing, faster!"
Cross the Yellow River, and there’s the ancient temple.
Xiaoqing sprinted with all its might, but the song followed relentlessly.
The still-living demon beasts were driven by the song, madly charging towards them.
Yu Qingru quickly wielded vines, driving back several demon beasts in front, her movements clean and swift.
Fu Changsheng also gathered Spiritual Power, forming barriers to block the demon beasts’ attacks.
When they reached above the surging Yellow River.
The song suddenly rose in pitch:
"Grudges run deep, this endless hatred never ends, and the world’s blood shall repay it."
In the Yellow River, massive River Beasts, stimulated by the song, surged upwards with a splash, their whole bodies glowing with strange red light, pouncing at Fu Changsheng and the others.
Fu Changsheng didn’t want to linger in battle.
With a thought.
Buzz!
The Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp flew out from within him, accompanied by a flick of his forefinger, and instantly, four lotus leaves drifted, spun around, and transformed into shields that protected the three of them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The River Beasts’ attacks violently struck the shields.
However, having been promoted to a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact, the Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp remained unmoved. The Cyan Flood Dragon’s body flashed, instantly leaping over the Yellow River.
Fu Changsheng looked back.
It seemed that those pursuing them in the darkness stopped across the Yellow River and did not advance further, as the song began to drift away to other places.
"Phew~"
They let out a sigh of relief.
Fu Changsheng and the others leapt down from the Cyan Flood Dragon.
What appeared before them was a dilapidated temple, its gate tightly shut, the doors covered with dust and cobwebs.
Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on the old temple.
The temple, in the night, seemed eerie and mysterious, like a giant beast lurking there.
Though the temple was in ruins, it could block Divine Sense.
If not for the intelligence saying that the Eastern Wilderness Tribe had already occupied this place, he might not have discovered it.
He was contemplating a strategy to handle the situation.
On the other side.
Yaoyao was already impatiently rushing forward, attempting to push open the door.
Fu Changsheng hurriedly sent a message to stop her.
....
Inside the dilapidated temple.
In the corner, two women seemed to have their Dantians sealed, lying motionless like rags, manipulated by several men from the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.
Humiliated tears trickled down their cheeks.
Upon hearing footsteps from outside.
The two leading Half-Step Purple Mansion cultivators immediately whispered:
"Shh, someone’s coming."
The men who had been moving stopped immediately, kicking the immobile women on the ground with lingering desires.
With a flick, they swiftly hid in the shadows.
Their eyes glistened with greed and cruelty.
The ten men had been ambushing here for some time, having already successfully killed two teams of cultivators who had attempted to enter the dilapidated temple.
Now, hearing footsteps approaching from outside, their eyes brimmed with excitement.
They whispered:
"Haha, more big fish are walking right in."
"From the sound, there seems to be a woman. Later, big brother and second brother should go easy; let us brothers have some fun first. The female cultivators of the Great Zhou have such tender, smooth skin. Even when dead, they’re better to do it with than those old women from the tribe. But, big brother and second brother should catch the living ones; only the living can be enjoyed to the fullest and for longer."
