"Fellow Daoist Horse-Face, don't worry. I'm not trying to bring them back to the living world. I'm just asking some questions. I'll return once I'm done. I won't make things difficult for you," Shen Luo said.
"Shen Daoyou, don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to bring you there. It's just that the souls of the people who died in Chang 'an didn't enter the Underworld for some reason. They were transferred to a place called the Nameless Ghost City in the Underworld. Many Yin Deities and disciples of the Underworld are searching there, but they haven't found them yet …" Soul Haunting Horse-Face said.
"Is that so?! Since that's the case, can I trouble Fellow Daoist Horse-Face to bring me there and search for the souls of those people together? I have some means of searching for people, "Shen Luo said with a frown.
"The Underworld is in a terrible fix because of this matter. If Shen Daoyou is willing to help, I'm naturally more than happy to do so." Soul Haunting Horse-Face was delighted. He took out the Mourning Staff and chanted an incantation before waving it in the air.
A large amount of black gas appeared out of nowhere and circled around the Mourning Staff. In the blink of an eye, it formed a black vortex in the air.
"Now that all the forces in Chang 'an City have gathered, don't move around. Just wait here for me to come back," Shen Luo said to Mi Su.
"Okay," Mi Su agreed obediently.
Shen Luo rubbed Mi Su's head and jumped into the black vortex with Soul Haunting Horse-Face.
Black gas surged in front of his eyes and his body fell straight down. It took him a while to return to normal. He had already arrived at a desolate plain in the Underworld. The sound of waves came from afar and the Yin Qi was oppressive. It seemed to be near the Underworld River.
"Shen Daoyou, follow me." Soul Haunting Horse-Face brought Shen Luo and flew into the distance.
Everything around them retreated quickly. However, this speed was too slow in Shen Luo's eyes.
"The situation is urgent. Fellow Daoist Horse-Face, your escape technique is a bit slow. I'll bring you along. You just need to lead the way." Shen Luo flicked his sleeve and sent out a golden light that wrapped around the two of them. Then, he shot forward at a speed that was several times faster than before. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distance without a trace.
Soul-Hooking Horse-Face was shocked. He had once traveled with a True Immortal Elder of the Netherworld, and that person was much slower than Shen Luo.
"What level has Shen Luo reached? Could it be that he's already at the intermediate stage of the True Immortal Realm? How long has it been? Tsk tsk, it's too inconceivable! 'He thought to himself, but his expression remained calm as he continued to point the way.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived in the vicinity of a black forest.
This mountain forest seemed to be boundless, and the trees inside were abnormally tall. Huge trees that required a dozen people to wrap their arms around could be seen everywhere. Thick canopies and leaves covered the entire mountain forest, and these trees were completely black, causing the entire mountain forest to be incomparably gloomy, and nothing could be seen inside.
The Yin Qi in the mountain forest was abnormally dense, and it was quite strange. It gave people a sticky feeling, and their Divine Senses were greatly hindered when they tried to explore it.
"The nameless ghost city is in the depths of this gloomy mountain forest. Shen Daoyou, be careful of this gloomy mountain forest. The Yin Qi here is peculiar, and it affects the spread of Divine Senses. The Lunar Beasts living here are different from other ghosts in the Netherworld. They can hide in the shadows and attack people, so it's very difficult to detect them," Soul-Hooking Horse-Face reminded.
"Master, leave those Lunar Beasts to me. I've already refined the power of the Lunar Beasts absorbed in the Black Abyss Cave, and I'm just a little bit away from breaking through the bottleneck of the True Immortal Realm. I just need a large amount of Lunar Beasts to supplement it," Ghost General Zhao Feiji's voice came from the Qiankun Bag.
Hearing this, Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"This place is abnormally remote. How did the souls of the people of Chang 'an City get sent here?" He immediately asked.
"It's also very strange. When the souls of the people of Chang 'an City were sent to the Netherworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk suddenly became chaotic, which caused the souls of the people to be sent here," Soul-Hooking Horse-Face said.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk suddenly became chaotic?" Shen Luo heard this and suddenly recalled the incident with Dragon King Jinghe.
When Dragon King Jinghe took the soul of Emperor Tang to the Netherworld, a mysterious black shadow in the Netherworld used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and cooperated with Dragon King Jinghe to cast spells. Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk changed again, and at such a coincidental moment, could it be that someone interfered with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk again and cooperated with the demons in Chang 'an City to cause trouble?
His expression became serious. If it was really as he thought, who interfered with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk this time? Was it that mysterious black shadow? Or was it someone else?
"Fellow Daoist Horse-Face, my predecessor was seriously injured and fell into a coma many years ago. I slept for more than a hundred years and knew almost nothing about the Demonic Calamity. In order to survive the Demonic Calamity, there should have been many battles in the Netherworld, right?" Shen Luo pondered for a while and asked Soul-Hooking Horse-Face.
"Of course. Chi You not only had monstrous strength, but he also had many Demonic Soldiers and Demonic Generals under his command. At the same time, he attacked the territories of the various forces in the Three Realms in a futile attempt to destroy the Three Realms in one fell swoop. Our Netherworld was also attacked. In order to resist those Demonic Soldiers and Demonic Generals, at least thirty percent of the Yin Gods and disciples of the Netherworld were lost," Soul-Hooking Horse-Face said. Soul-hooking Horse-Face sighed. Many of his comrades and friends had died in that battle as well.
"I heard that the Demons are good at controlling people's hearts and stirring up the desires in their hearts. Because of this ability, they arranged many spies in the various forces. I wonder if there were any spies in the Netherworld back then?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
"Spies? I haven't heard of this. Why do you ask, Shen Daoyou? "Soul-Hooking Horse-Face thought for a moment before shaking his head and asking.
"Nothing, just asking casually." Shen Luo's heart thumped, but he didn't show it on his face.
The Netherworld didn't find any spies? In other words, that mysterious figure from back then was still hiding here. In that case, the abnormality of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc this time was very likely caused by this person.
"Daoist Horse-Face, who can come into contact with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc?" He asked again.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc? That thing is placed in the Reincarnation Division. The Reincarnation Division is a forbidden area of the Netherworld. It is guarded all year round by the Black and White Impermanence and numerous Yin Soldiers. Apart from them, there is also the Lord Cakravarti. He cultivates the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique and can control the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. Apart from them, even the Ten Kings of Hell can't approach it without sufficient reason … Shen Daoyou, do you think that the abnormality of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc this time was caused by someone on purpose? "Soul-Hooking Horse-Face was halfway through his explanation when he suddenly realized the deeper meaning contained in Shen Luo's question. He suddenly raised his head.
"I do have this guess. I wonder if Daoist Horse-Face still remembers the matter of the Tang Emperor's soul being taken away by the Jinghe Dragon King? I was involved in that matter that day. I once saw the Jinghe Dragon King standing together with a mysterious figure with my own eyes. That figure once used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc to help the Jinghe Dragon King and the Tang Emperor change their soul origins … "Shen Luo secretly praised Horse-Face's sharp mind. He muttered to himself for a moment before telling him what he had seen back then.
Right now, he had to track down the whereabouts of the souls of the people of Chang 'an. He had no time to investigate the spies hidden in the Netherworld. Although Soul-Hooking Horse-Face wasn't strong, his mind was sharp. If he came forward to investigate, he might be able to find that person.
