"It's the Yin River of the Underworld!" Zhu Ming exclaimed. The Yin River of the Underworld was formless and omnipresent. It was useless against ghosts and ghost immortals in the Underworld, but it could swallow other people's souls. "Everyone, be careful. The Yin River is constantly changing. Sorcery cannot detect it."
Zhu Ming turned to look at the woman standing lazily behind Yi Qing's sword. "This Fellow Daoist can actually … see the Yin River?"
"Her eyes are different from ours!" Lonemoon gave Zhu Ming an unreadable look. One had to get used to the cheat's eyes. "Let's hurry. It's so dark here. Who knows what else is there!"
"It's not far. It's just up ahead." Zhu Ming pointed ahead. The few of them turned and flew in that direction.
Shen Ying paused. She looked around. Was it very dark here? It was clearly a piece of gold, and it was a little dazzling to the eyes! Of course, that was except for the pitch-black river floating in the sky.

The few of them did not fly for long before they saw a palace floating in mid-air. The surroundings were filled with thick Yin Qi. Compared to the majestic palaces in the Dragon Abyss and Wu Qi Mountain, this cave abode was much smaller. It was all alone.
Perhaps it was because the Yin Qi was too thick, but there were not many wandering souls around. It was so quiet that only the footsteps of the few of them could be heard.
"This is it." The few of them landed in front of the palace. Zhu Ming seemed to be very familiar with this place. He waved his hand and the doors to the palace opened. He helped Mother Feng, who was still in a daze, to a chair in the hall.
The palace was empty. They could see all the way to the end. Apart from the four chairs, there was nothing else.
"There's a small courtyard behind. The two of you can go in and take a look," Zhu Ming reminded them.
"Yi Qing, go and take a look. I'll set up an array to look for Shortie's aura," Lonemoon instructed.
Yi Qing nodded and walked to the back of the palace. Lonemoon walked to the center of the palace and released his divine perception. Instantly, the entire cave abode appeared in his divine perception. He activated his immortal Qi and began to set up an array.
Perhaps to avoid arousing suspicion, Zhu Ming did not help them look for Shortie. He only sat beside Mother Feng.
Shen Ying, who was the only one who had nothing to do, also sat on a chair at the side and waited. Perhaps she was a little bored waiting, so she habitually took out a fruit to eat. Just as he took one out, he used a little too much force, and the other one beside him fell out as well, rolling around.
Just as she was about to bend down to pick it up, a pair of pale, bloodless hands picked it up first. Mother Feng, who had been sitting on the chair, stared blankly at the fruit in her hands, then looked up at Shen Ying. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and gave her a sinister smile. "Heh heh …"
Shen Ying tilted her head and took it. "Thank you."
However, the other party was still looking in the direction of her hand, a pair of bloody eyes staring straight at the fruit on top, only the dripping sound of blood could be heard, it was very horrifying.
Shen Ying, who had bitten the core, "…"
After some thought, he took out the greenest fruit from his storage bag and handed it over. "Do you want to eat it?"
Mother Feng was stunned. She looked at the fruit, then back at her. Suddenly, she reached out and snatched the fruit. His lips curved into a sinister smile again, and he stuffed the fruit into his mouth.
The next moment, there was a loud thud. The fruit went straight through his mouth and fell to the ground. The person who had no physical body looked confused.
"Hey, it fell!" Shen Ying picked up the fruit and handed it over. "Here, I have more."
She took it again and swallowed it down in one gulp. Once again, it fell to the ground with a thud.
Heh heh heh … You can't eat it!
As if addicted, Shen Ying picked up the fruit on the ground again and handed it over.
The ghost immortal still looked like he had just snatched a treasure. Once again, he took the fruit … and dropped it to the ground again!
This happened repeatedly.
Zhu Ming, who was watching the whole time: "…"
She did it on purpose, right? She definitely did it, right? There was someone else around!
"Master." Yi Qing finally returned from the backyard and shook his head at her. "No!" The backyard was even cleaner than the front. There were not even any chairs. Apart from Yin Qi, there was nothing else.
Zhu Ming's expression darkened as well. If they could not find Mother Feng, they would be suspects. He thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't … I follow you to the forest where the woman went missing? I'm familiar with ghost immortals' auras. Perhaps I can find some clues? "
Lonemoon, who was setting up the array, stopped as well. His expression was equally dark. "Shortie is indeed not here."
"Oh." Shen Ying narrowed her eyes, but she ignored them. Just as she was about to pass the fruit to Mother Feng, she retracted it. Mother Feng caught nothing but air. Suddenly, she leaned forward and smiled. "I'm not giving it to you anymore. I gave you so many. Why don't you return one to me?"
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
Zhu Ming: "…"
Where's your shame? Didn't you just give me the same fruit? Are you bullying ghost immortals for not having physical bodies?
O (&; _ &) o
Mother Feng paused. She clearly did not understand what Shen Ying was saying. Her bloodshot eyes stared at the fruit in Shen Ying's hand, but she did not dare to snatch it away.
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. "Hey, you're almost …" He was about to reprimand her.
But Mother Feng took out a square token from somewhere and threw it at Shen Ying. Then, she stared at the fruit in Shen Ying's hand.
"Master!" Yi Qing exclaimed.
Lonemoon regained his composure as well. He looked at the token in Shen Ying's hand. "What's this?"
"A token?" Zhu Ming looked confused as well. Why would Mother Feng have something like this? And why did the token seem to be imbued with God Power?
"It should be the eye of the array!" Shen Ying replied. Finally, she passed the fruit to the overjoyed Mother Feng. Then, with a loud thud, it fell to the ground.
This time, Shen Ying did not help her pick it up. Instead, she picked up the token and walked to the center of the hall. Then, she squatted down and pressed it on the ground. In an instant, the entire cave abode lit up with a bright red light. An array appeared in the hall.
The ground began to collapse inch by inch. The red light in the middle of the hall was especially blinding. A moment later, the space around them began to twist and distort. Then, a scene appeared beneath them, but they could not see clearly.
"This is … the entrance to the mystic realm!" Zhu Ming exclaimed.
Lonemoon asked in surprise, "How did you know that there's an array here to open the mystic realm?"
"I could tell!" Shen Ying replied casually. Everywhere was golden, except for the circle on the ground which was black. There was also a square mark. Anyone could tell that there was a problem, right?
Lonemoon: "…"
The red entrance was getting bigger and bigger. It was about to cover the entire hall.
Lonemoon nodded at the other two. Then, he gave them a look. "Go in!"
Everyone mounted their swords and flew in. Zhu Ming also pulled Mother Feng, who was still looking for the fruit on the ground.
The red light flashed in front of them. The next moment, they were in another world.
