Contrary to Xiao Chen's expectations, Bai, who sat beside him, did not show any fear at all, remaining as calm as usual.
Xiao Chen felt a pang in his heart. He could not help grabbing Bai's hand tightly.
He wondered what this girl had experienced in the past few years.
Bai giggled and let Xiao Chen hold her hand, gently leaning on his shoulder.
Although the Underworld River had lost its various miraculous Magic Skills, its nature still remained. If one fell into it, one would immediately be corrupted and corroded. No Secret Treasure in the world could protect one.
The river also contained a demonic nature. One could not fly on it. Otherwise, one might fall into it for no reason.
Only the Specter Ship forged by the Ghost Race could travel on it. This resulted in the fact that the Ghost Race controlled the entrance to the Nine Layers of Purgatory. Anyone who went there would have to pay a large amount of Black Astral Coins.
The Specter Ship quickly left the surface. The bow of the ship turned completely dark. The air was filled with flickering, phosphorescent lights, all of which were wandering spirits.
When Xiao Chen looked up, he saw many skulls piled up on stone pillars.
As the ship traveled on the water, it passed through the bodies of these wandering spirits, giving off an intense lifeforce. The moment the ship touched a wandering spirit, it immediately scattered it into nothing.
During the Immortal Epoch, this land of the netherworld had been divided into the netherworld and the netherworld. Once one crossed this place, one would be in the netherworld.
However, if one could not cross this place, one would be trapped here, unable to return to the world of the living or reincarnate, drifting here forever.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. The Specter Ship stopped moving and stopped in the river.
Kong Yuan's expression changed slightly. He gestured to Yuan Xu and asked the boatman in a thick cloak, "Why are you stopping? We have not reached the Nine Layers of Purgatory yet."
"We can't reach it yet. We will just retire here. Then, we will turn into wandering spirits and drift for the rest of our lives."
The boatman sat at the bow and did not turn his head back. Only a hoarse voice came from within.
Now, the expressions of Bai and the other two changed. They all circulated their Law Energy, preparing to snatch the ship at any time.
Xiao Chen remained calm and said in a deep voice, "You're trying to extort money, right? I've long heard that some black-hearted boatmen will sail their boats to the Netherworld, a place where there is no way out or out, and take the opportunity to extort money. "
"Hehe, extorting money? Young Master Xiao, ah, Young Master Xiao, you are the ancestor of this aspect! "
A tender laugh was heard, and the cloak on the boatman's body exploded, revealing a delicate figure in a white dress. The woman turned around and smiled. It was the Ghost Race's Qing Cheng.
Xiao Chen's expression didn't change, but he cursed in his heart. Why did he run into this woman here?
A cocky smile appeared on Qing Cheng's breathtakingly beautiful face. "Jiang Chengzi told me that the few of you were coming to the Ghost Domain. I thought it was fake news. Unexpectedly, you really dared to come. Aren't you very capable? Let's see how you're going to resolve this situation today. You're going to toy with me in the palm of your hand. "
Pa!
Qing Cheng patted the ship with her palm, and countless small holes immediately appeared at the bottom of the ship. Then, the Specter Ship slowly sank.
Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan instantly attacked, charging at this woman. However, Qing Cheng merely smiled and floated up gently.
Eight spirits carrying a palanquin flew out. Then, Qing Cheng pulled open the curtains. Qing Cheng pulled open the curtains and sat down. Then, she looked at the slowly sinking Specter Ship through the window.
Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan quickly retreated. Qing Cheng had the Eight Ghost Palanquin. If she dared to fly on it, they would not dare to cross the Underworld River. That way, they would die even faster. "Gurgle …!
Gurgle …! "
The river bubbled as the Specter Ship continued to sink. When the ship completely sank, it would be the end of everyone.
Aside from Emperor Wu's Indestructible Golden Body, no matter how strong one's physical body was, one would not be able to survive in the Yellow Springs Water. Even Xiao Chen was no exception.
Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan's expressions turned grave.
"What should we do?!" At this crucial moment, everyone looked at Xiao Chen at the same time.
Bai said calmly, "I'll activate Adoptive Father's will clone. Given the strength of Adoptive Father's will clone, it should be able to escort us to the Nine Layers of Purgatory."
Naturally, the Dark World could not trap The Fox King's will clone. However, what would they do when they returned?
Furthermore, the will clone was something that The Fox King had given to Bai to protect his life. How could Xiao Chen use it at this moment? Hence, Xiao Chen rejected the idea without any explanation.
The true solution lay with Qing Cheng, who was in the Eight Ghost Palanquin.
Xiao Chen's thoughts were very sharp. If this Qing Cheng really wanted to kill them, she could have caused the Specter Ship to sink without anyone noticing, not even giving them a chance to use the will clone.
She must be plotting something. As long as they did not obtain what they wanted, they would be safe.
"Hehe! Young Master Xiao, you are born to toy with others. You did not expect such a day to come, right? I won't waste words with you. If you want to enter the Nine Hells Purgatory alive and come out alive, then return to me double the spirit vein and Star Coins you extorted last time. "
Indeed, Qing Cheng, who was in the Eight Ghost Palanquin, felt that victory was within her grasp. After looking for a while, she made her request. She did not think that Xiao Chen had any room to bargain.
"I wonder if this supreme-grade spirit vein is enough."
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pushed. A Peak Spirit Vein in his Universe Ring turned into a dragon and flew towards Qing Cheng.
Top-grade Spirit Vein!
Yuan Xu and Kong Yuan were startled. Xiao Chen was really willing to part with a Peak Spirit Vein just like that. However, at this moment, preserving his life was more important. It was understandable that he was willing to part with a Peak Spirit Vein.
The expression of Qing Cheng, who was in the palanquin, clearly changed. It was much more valuable than some King Grade Secret Treasures. Only King Grade Sects and Holy Lands could casually take it out.
To think that Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he took out a Peak Spirit Vein. He was really bold.
However, Qing Cheng was a Ghost Race cultivator after all. Although a Spirit Vein was good, it was not very meaningful to her.
A light flashed around the palanquin. A crack opened in the Eight Ghost Spirit Locking Defense Formation, allowing the Spirit Vein to flow in. Then, it quickly mended.
A brilliant light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He saw all this, but his expression did not change.
"A Peak Spirit Vein is very valuable. However, Xiao Chen, you should know what I truly want. Give it to me. Not only will I ensure that you will be unobstructed on this trip, but I can also send people to help you, "Qing Cheng said slowly, not in a rush to collect the Spirit Vein.
Naturally, she was referring to the Death Throne. The rumbling sounds intensified. Xiao Chen and the other three were already hovering in the air, doing their best to reduce the weight of the Specter Ship.
The rumbling grew louder. Xiao Chen and the other three were already hovering in the air, doing their best to reduce the weight of the Specter Ship. However, they still could not stop the ship from sinking.
The situation was critical. They needed to make a decision.
Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop Bai, who wanted to activate The Fox King's will clone. Then, he thrust out the Cycle Banner. Dense Death Qi mixed with starlight spread throughout the entire banner pole.
"I refined the Death Throne, Massacre Throne, and Ruin Throne into this Astral Banner. If you want them, then take them."
When the calm Qing Cheng saw the Cycle Astral Banner slowly fly over, her heart could not help but pound wildly. Three thrones. Xiao Chen actually collected three thrones.
"Very well. After I verify that there is no mistake, I will bring you and your friends out of this Underworld Land."
Qing Cheng stretched out her hand, and the Eight Ghost Spirit Locking Defense Formation on the Eight Ghost Palanquin opened a crack. Then, she tried to put the Cycle Banner in.
However, just at this moment, something strange happened. A pair of pure-white wings unfurled behind Xiao Chen. He took a step forward, and his body turned into a beam of spiritual light. In the next moment, he arrived before Qing Cheng in the palanquin.
All this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly, not giving Qing Cheng any chance to react.
"You …"
Qing Cheng's expression changed drastically as she quickly retreated. However, how could Xiao Chen dodge so easily after storing up power for this attack?
Xiao Chen stretched out a finger and tapped Qing Cheng's forehead.
A strong saber Qi immediately flowed into Qing Cheng's meridians. A cold Qi assaulted Qing Cheng, and sharp saber Qi circled around all the vital points in her body continuously.
As long as Xiao Chen willed it, he could immediately kill Qing Cheng.
Xiao Chen put away the Freedom Wings on his back and waved his hand. He happened to catch the Cycle Banner, which had arrived a step too late, in his palm.
He slowly withdrew his hand, and a crystalline flower appeared on Qing Cheng's forehead. Qing Cheng looked around, not daring to act rashly.
Xiao Chen looked around and sighed to himself. This palanquin was much larger than he expected. This was especially so when there was a soft white bed in the back.
Xiao Chen casually put away the Spirit Vein floating in the air. Then, he sat on the soft bed and smiled gently. "Miss Qing Cheng, you are really enjoying yourself. This palanquin is indeed comfortable."
Qing Cheng's back faced Xiao Chen. She felt hatred and regret in her heart. She blamed herself for being too greedy. She wanted to obtain the Death Throne and drown this fellow.
If she had just drowned this fellow, such a thing would not have happened. Now, this fellow would be able to counter her.
When Qing Cheng heard Xiao Chen's words, she scolded, "Bastard! If you have the guts, then kill this lady. The Specter Ship will sink soon. None of your friends will survive.
"The wings on your back should have some restrictions in this Dark Underworld Land, right? Otherwise, you would have fled with your friends long ago."
Flying was not allowed in the Underworld River. Naturally, Xiao Chen did not dare to take the risk.
The Freedom Wings used the power of space. However, as Qing Cheng said, there were indeed great restrictions here.
The Dark Underworld was dark. Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense could not see beyond a kilometer.
When the Magic Skill So Close Yet Worlds Apart appeared before him, everything beyond a kilometer was dark. He did not dare to use it at all.
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not say anything, Qing Cheng felt reassured. Given Xiao Chen's character, he would absolutely not abandon his friends. She still had the capital to negotiate with him.
"What's wrong? I guessed correctly. The Specter Ship can last for at most ten minutes. Xiao Chen, after all your scheming, you still failed at the last step. If you have the guts, then kill me immediately. The life and death of your friends will depend on a single thought! "
Xiao Chen smiled gently, unconcerned. Then, he flicked his finger, and Qing Cheng felt her body turn cold.
Qing Cheng's white dress slid off, revealing her jade-white back. Only a red dudou and underwear remained.
Qing Cheng's face, which had just regained some confidence, now flushed red. She felt extremely bashful as she scolded, "Xiao Chen, you shameless, lecherous, despicable person!"
Xiao Chen smiled softly and lay down on the large bed. Then, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "This bed is really extraordinarily big. It is too much of a waste to sleep on one person. I feel that I should sleep on one more person in the future."
Qing Cheng raged in her heart. She wished that she could immediately chop Xiao Chen in half. However, the crystalline flower on her forehead prevented her from moving at all.
She regretted as much as she could. She should not have offended this fellow at all.
