Styx River, also known as the River of Death, was one of the most dangerous places in the Ghost World. It circled around the Jambu Mountain and was equivalent to the moat of Fengdu City.
Fengdu City was only connected to the outside world by an iron chain bridge. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Fengdu City had a unique advantage and became the most heavily guarded fortress in the Ghost World.
The water in Styx River had no buoyancy. Anything, even a feather, would sink immediately if it fell on it.
Even if you were a swimmer, the fish in the water could not survive in Styx River. Once they fell into the river, they would be buried at the bottom.
Even King Yanluo did not dare to take the risk.
Thus, when he saw Tang Zheng hiding among the Four Divine Beasts and falling into the Underworld River like a meteor, he hurriedly stopped his forward momentum and stopped on the towering walls of Fengdu City as he stared at the colossus with a burning gaze.
The others also caught up and looked at this scene in a daze. Soon after, they were overjoyed. This guy was really reckless. He trespassed into Fengdu City and finally lost his life.
However, King Yanluo and King Cakravarti were slightly disappointed because the two powerful magic treasures were buried at the bottom of the river and did not fall into their hands.
"Eh, something is wrong. There is still one arrow left." King Yanluo suddenly had an idea. He turned around and ran. Finally, he found an arrow on the broken beam of the meeting hall.
This was the Shooting Sun Arrow shot by Tang Zheng. Unfortunately, he could not retrieve it and it benefited King Yanluo.
King Yanluo caressed the body of the arrow and waves of mana rippled. He was overjoyed. This must be a divine weapon.
"I must keep it and treat it as compensation for this loss."
Whoosh!
A strong wind blew. King Cakravarti stood in front of King Yanluo and stared at the Shooting Sun Arrow.
King Yanluo laughed mockingly and asked, "You want it?"
King Cakravarti's expression changed. Of course he wanted it. He had seen the power of this arrow. It was not an ordinary magic treasure to be able to fight against King Yanluo's Seal.
However, the Cakravarti King wasn't as strong as the King of Hell. Furthermore, this was the King of Hell's territory. He didn't have any advantage in terms of timing, location, and people. Hence, he could only be envious and definitely wouldn't take it for himself.
The Cakravarti King smiled sheepishly. "Of course not. These are your spoils of war."
"Where's that guy?"
"Sinking to the bottom of the Nether River means certain death." The Cakravarti King's face darkened. He was the cause of this incident. Not only did he not gain anything out of it, he even got himself into trouble.
"It's good that he's dead. Then there won't be anyone whose lifespan will increase for no reason in the future. This matter will come to an end for the time being." King Yama closed the coffin and concluded.
The Cakravarti King nodded with a meaningful smile.
However, he knew in his heart that the impact of this intruder on the Ghost Realm would definitely not be limited to this. The fact that the King Yanluo did not capture the intruder alive would cause his prestige to be tarnished, which would cause the other Kings of Hell to be restless.
There would be undercurrents in the World of Spirits and Souls.
Of course, Tang Zheng did not know that his actions would have such a huge impact on the World of Spirits and Souls. He was currently sinking rapidly to the bottom of the river.
He had already tried to get out of the body of the Four Divine Beasts, but he realized that the river water had no buoyancy at all. He was like a piece of heavy iron, sinking rapidly. Moreover, there was no oxygen in the river water.
One must know that after he cultivated the Dragon God Technique, he could breathe freely in the water. However, there was no oxygen in the water here. There was nothing he could do and he would suffocate to death.
He quickly got back into the body of the Four Divine Beasts and used the remaining air to survive.
However, when he saw Ye Xuanji's soul, his expression changed drastically. Ye Xuanji's soul had become much fainter, like a wisp of green smoke that was about to float away.
"What's going on?" Tang Zheng was shocked.
Ye Xuanji was in extreme pain. He said, "I feel like my body is about to fall apart. My life is slipping away bit by bit."
Tang Zheng was shocked. This must be because of the river water. Otherwise, why did no one chase after him?
With the style of King Yanluo and King Cakravarti, they would not just watch him fall to the bottom of the river. There must be something wrong with the river water that made them fearful and did not dare to step into it.
"Your soul is weakening. Soon, your soul will disperse."
Tang Zheng circulated his energy and immediately understood what was going on with Ye Xuanji.
"Disperse?"
Ye Xuanji's expression changed drastically. He was scared out of his wits.
After experiencing so many things, his nerves had become very weak. If it was a normal person, they would have been scared out of their wits. It was already commendable for him to be able to hold on until now.
"Tang Zheng, you must save me. You can't just watch me die. You are Dingdang's boyfriend." Ye Xuanji said anxiously.
Tang Zheng was slightly startled. The Ye Xuanji in the past was not so weak and would not beg so humbly.
It seemed that the incident in the Ghost Realm had a big impact on him. Even his temper and personality had changed a lot.
"Of course I won't just watch you die. But now, I can't even protect myself." Tang Zheng said calmly.
"Why?"
"There's something wrong with this river. We can't go up."
"No, you must have a way. You can even come to the Ghost Realm. You must have a way to go ashore." Ye Xuanji said.
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had already tried just now. The river was not wide. Under normal circumstances, he could drive the Four Divine Beasts to walk along the riverbed.
But just now, when he tried to move, the Four Divine Beasts could not move. It was as if there was an invisible force in the river that imprisoned the Four Divine Beasts.
But Tang Zheng was not as calm as he looked. Since the river water could devour souls, he would soon follow in Ye Xuanji's footsteps.
The river water flowed slowly. It circled around the Jambu Mountain and flowed into the distance. The Four Divine Beasts were carried by the river water to an unknown place.
Ye Xuanji kept urging Tang Zheng to think of a way. It was like a swarm of flies buzzing around Tang Zheng's ears.
Tang Zheng gradually became distracted. He could not concentrate at all. Suddenly, he frowned and could not help but scold, "Shut up. If you want to live, then be quiet."
Ye Xuanji was stunned. If it was in the past, he would have long lost control of his temper, but at this moment, he was like a docile sheep, obediently shutting his mouth. He even glanced at Tang Zheng with a bit of reverence.
At this moment, if Tang Zheng wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. His little life was in Tang Zheng's hands. He did not dare to disobey Tang Zheng's wishes.
Tang Zheng closed his eyes and rested. He circulated the Ancient Clear Heaven Scroll and Divine Dragon Art to cultivate. Just now, he had suffered heavy injuries. In fact, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight.
If he did not fall into the River Styx, he would have become King Yama's captive. But now that he was in a desperate situation, it was not much better.
The most important thing now was to recover his strength and then think of a way to escape.
Time passed little by little. Ye Xuanji's whole body was in pain as if ten thousand insects were biting him. But he gritted his teeth and endured it, so as not to affect Tang Zheng.
Huff ~
Tang Zheng suddenly exhaled a long breath. It was as if a long sword had been spat out from his mouth. He felt refreshed.
The congested blood in his body and the displaced internal organs were almost completely healed, so he stopped the healing.
Opening his eyes, he saw Ye Xuanji's painful appearance. He nodded calmly and said, "Do you know why I came to save you?"
Ye Xuanji shook his head weakly.
"If it wasn't for the sake of Dingdang's family, why would I take the risk to make this trip."
"Yes, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me. You should thank Dingdang's family. Hmph, your other son is obstructing me in every possible way. It seems that he doesn't want you to wake up. "Tang Zheng did not mind taking the opportunity to make Ye Tianming look bad.
Doesn't he know that he has always coveted the position of Patriarch?
I won't let you have your way.
On the contrary, Uncle Ye and Aunt Feng have always been good to me. I helped them to consolidate their strength in the Yeh family. Of course, I am duty-bound to help them.
"How dare you! When I go back, I must teach Tianming a lesson." Ye Xuanji was furious.
"Hmph, you raised a son for a lifetime, but in the end, you don't care about your life or death. Your life is really sad." Tang Zheng said jokingly.
Ye Xuanji's face was ugly, but he had no way to refute.
In fact, there were many power struggles in big families. There were countless cases of brothers and fathers fighting openly and secretly.
In ancient times, there were many cases of princes killing their own father to become Emperor. So, Ye Xuanji did not doubt Tang Zheng's words.
This was equivalent to planting a seed of doubt in Ye Xuanji's heart. It was enough to make Ye Tianming suffer.
Tang Zheng did not care about Ye Xuanji's thoughts. Instead, he channeled his energy to perceive the situation outside. The river was still flowing outside. It was dead silent. There were no creatures in the river. Moreover, this place was no longer under the Jambu Mountain. He did not know where it had drifted to.
"I'm afraid that King Yanluo and King Cakravarti already think that I am dead. This is good. If I can escape, then they will not continue to pursue the matter of the Life Continuing Pill. I will have time to carry out the plan of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon and use the Tree of Life to stir up the Ghost Realm."
In fact, if he could return to the Human Realm, he would be fine even if he did not carry out the plan. However, after this trip to the Ghost Realm, he realized that the power of the Ghost Realm far exceeded that of the Human Realm. For the future of the Human Realm, the plan was urgent.
His perception spread very slowly in the river. An invisible force was suppressing him, making it difficult for him to move.
After a long time, he was almost exhausted. He hurriedly channeled his energy to recover. His breathing involuntarily became rapid.
The oxygen in the body of the Four Symbols Reverend had become very thin. Although he was trying his best to control his breathing rate, he was gradually in a state of hypoxia.
"Calm down. The more dangerous it is, the calmer it is." He kept silently reminding himself. However, his heart failed to live up to his expectations and beat violently. He hoped to absorb more oxygen to supply his body.
After thinking about it, he tried all the possible methods. In the end, he found that he still could not drive the Four Symbols Reverend to escape the River of Death.
His consciousness gradually became erratic. Only the sound of his heart beating was left in his ears. It was as if his heart was going to jump out of his throat.
