The Yellow Springs Underworld Path.
Looking at the dark entrances in front of them, Su Fang and Fairy Xuanxin slowly moved forward. The map of the third floor of the underground palace appeared in their minds.
There were more than a dozen Underworld Paths, and none of them had special passages. In other words, Su Fang would have to barge in like other cultivators.
Fortunately, the map recorded the mechanisms in the Yellow Springs Underworld Path in detail.
After silently understanding the map, he and Fairy Xuanxin arrived at a magnificent flat area that looked like an altar. In front of them was an entrance to the Yellow Springs Underworld Path.
"Isn't this the first place? Fairy, you can come with us to explore the tomb."
The two of them were sizing up the Underworld Path.
Little did he know that a few figures were flying over. What a coincidence, they were the special disciples of Fire Yan Divine Sun Sect and Nine Heavens Star Palace.
There were three of them in total. Two of them were disciples of Huoyan Shinrikyo, and the other was a special disciple that Su Fang had met before, Lian Changxian.
Lian Changxian.
He had become a special disciple not as long as Chou Yun and Li Tianqi, but he was still very talented. Moreover, Su Fang knew that this person had a lot of feelings for Fairy Xuanxin.
However, the one who spoke was not Lian Changxian, but the two disciples of Huoyan Shinrikyo. It was not difficult to see that these two disciples also had feelings for Fairy Xuanxin.
However, Lian Changxian only glanced at Fairy Xuanxin. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked in another direction.
Su Fang did not care about the special disciples of Huoyan Shinrikyo. However, Lian Changxian was different. He sighed inwardly. "This guy is a proud guy. After being rejected by Fairy Xuanxin, his pride was hurt."
Fairy Xuanxin nodded. "Thank you for your kindness. I still have to wait here for the disciples of the sect to come and meet up with them."
"Fairy, take care. If there is any trouble, just let me know. By the way, the sect sent us a message. They told us to be careful of demonic cultivators. They said that many of them have already snuck into the tomb."
After the Huoyan Shinrikyo disciple finished speaking, he cupped his fists and flew toward the Underworld Path with Lian Changxian and the other disciple.
People of the demonic path.
These mere words caused Su Fang and Xuanxin to breathe heavily.
The two of them no longer hesitated. Who knew what was in the underworld? Perhaps the Great Emperor's treasure was here.
After a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Underworld Path. It felt as if they were about to enter the tomb for real. The combination of Yin Qi and Demonic Qi created a special kind of cold air, which greatly affected their defense.
"There are many entrances to the Yellow Springs Nether Path, but they're all connected on the inside. There are many demonic formations, and it's extremely dangerous." Su Fang became nervous the moment he stepped into the entrance.
The two of them once again passed through the familiar pitch-black demonic qi. As soon as they passed through the formation, they unexpectedly saw a dozen or so heavily injured or poisoned cultivators painfully searching for a way out of the entrance. As soon as they saw Su Fang and Fairy Xuanxin, these people didn't have any expression on their faces. Instead, they were filled with terror as they tried to think of a way to leave this place.
The underground palace wasn't a place where one could leave as they pleased.
They didn't know what these people had experienced, but they clearly didn't have any thoughts about the Yellow Springs Devil Emperor's treasure. They just wanted to leave alive.
Fairy Xuanxin also noticed something. At least she came to the conclusion that this Underworld Path shouldn't be where the Yellow Springs Great Emperor's tomb was located. Otherwise, these people would be fighting over the treasure.
There were no cultivators from the four great powers, so the two of them didn't bother with them. They looked ahead and unexpectedly saw a faint demonic mist. The divine shackles were even more terrifying. The dark underground palace was covered in a haze. Some poisons, groans, and shouts came from the depths of the demonic mist from time to time.
It gave people the feeling that the inside was a land of death that should never be stepped in.
At this moment, Fairy Xuanxin didn't hesitate at all and stepped into the demonic mist first. Su Fang was stunned. He once again saw a different side of this woman. With such decisiveness, it was no wonder she was so strong.
She wasn't inferior to the man in front of her.
After entering the demonic mist, the cold air directly suppressed their defenses. It didn't affect Fairy Xuanxin much, but Su Fang's defenses immediately turned into black ice.
"You …" Fairy Xuanxin was very shocked. She felt that this mysterious man in front of her should have heaven-defying strength. Why couldn't he suppress the cold air?
Pa!
Su Fang, who had almost turned into a frozen person, was like an ice sculpture.
But a moment later, a huge force shattered the ice sculpture. There was also an invisible force that could actually make the cold air no longer shackle his defenses.
This was because Su Fang was secretly urging the power of the Yellow Springs Devil Emperor, especially the wills of Qianliu and Baishan Ancient Demon. The original power came from the Nine Yin Qi of the Origin Saint.
In this way, with two ancient demon wills and the special Nine Yin Qi, they could perfectly suppress any cold air in this underground palace.
Seeing that Fairy Xuanxin was still shocked, Su Fang shrugged and smiled, indicating that it was fine.
The latter was also relieved, but she still felt very strange.
When the two of them entered the demonic mist, it was difficult for them to fly freely. Moreover, there was only demonic Qi and no spiritual Qi. This meant that after their True Qi was exhausted, it would be difficult to replenish it. This was a demon for any cultivator.
There was demonic Qi.
Wasn't that demonic cultivator like a fish in water here?
It was impossible.
Demonic Qi was like True Qi. Because of the different cultivation methods, the power was also very different. It could not be easily merged, devoured, and turned into power.
Although demonic cultivators were much better than righteous cultivators in dealing with demonic Qi, it was also very difficult to absorb the special demonic Qi in this underground palace.
The two of them could only seal their breathing and circulate their Qi. Once the demonic Qi was absorbed into their bodies, it would be very difficult.
The result was very simple.
The two of them suddenly stopped. It turned out that there were two cultivators in front of them.
One of them had already died, and his whole body had turned into demonic ice. As for the other person, the surrounding demonic Qi was constantly entering his body. Not only was his skin frozen, but he could not control his True Qi and it was seeping out. His whole body was gradually turning into a dry corpse.
Demonic Qi must have entered his body to cause such a miserable end.
Whoosh!
However, Su Fang suddenly flashed and arrived next to the expert who was still breathing. "You were going to die here, but you met me. You are very lucky, but I saved you, so you have to serve me for the rest of your life."
"Save!"
When that person heard that Su Fang could save him, he struggled to say something.
Su Fang waved his hand, and a strand of demonic Qi sucked that person into his palm. He then looked at the other corpse. Unfortunately, there was no more True Qi or life force left.
"You can save that person?" Xuanxin found it inconceivable. At this point, even a supreme expert would not be able to save that cultivator.
Su Fang turned around. "Not necessarily. After all, the poison has already taken over most of his body. Let's give it a try. It's a pity for an expert to die. If we can save him, we'll save him. Fairy, we have to be even more careful. There seems to be a pair of eyes staring at us from up ahead."
"I also feel a threat and killing intent coming from up ahead," replied Xuanxin. She and Su Fang cautiously advanced once more.
The demonic Qi covered them layer by layer, making it impossible for cultivators to walk out of it.
"Look!"
Two hours later, they arrived at the deepest part of the demonic Qi. Xuanxin suddenly stopped Su Fang and pointed at the ground in front of them.
They cautiously walked forward. There were two blood-colored statues that were on the verge of shattering. These statues were very strange. They had no noses, eyes, ears, hands, or legs. The only thing missing was their facial features.
However, there were some demonic runes on them, and they sensed some Blood Qi from them.
"Everything in the underground palace is strange. We have to be careful. These puppets are most likely one of the underground palace's Netherguards." Xuanxin also noticed something.
"Netherguards." It seemed Xuanxin knew quite a bit.
Su Fang, on the other hand, sensed a trace of Blood Qi from these puppets. These puppets were clearly not ordinary. If they possessed Blood Qi, then they were alive. But now, they had already been petrified. Furthermore, their bodies were broken, and there were some sword marks on them. They had clearly been destroyed by an expert.
Furthermore, he sensed a strong aura of the Yellow Springs Devil Emperor within the Netherguards. They were indeed Netherguards from the third layer of the Yellow Springs Underworld Path. They were not puppets owned by some cultivators.
Xuanxin was constantly paying attention to their surroundings. Suddenly, she had Su Fang stand up. "Look, the demonic Qi is beginning to change. One moment, it's like a storm, the next moment, it's like a whirlpool. This way, cultivators will have a hard time walking out of this world of demonic Qi. They won't be able to tell the direction. This underground palace only has demonic Qi and no Spiritual Qi. The Yellow Springs Devil Emperor's tomb is indeed a place for the dead."
After looking around for a while, the demonic Qi slowly returned to normal. However, their surroundings were no longer the same as before.
They once again moved forward. Even if Su Fang had the map of the underground palace, he still had to break out of the demonic Qi. Fortunately, he had a way to tell the direction. He could sense a will coming from the depths.
"Hiss ~"
Inadvertently, the two of them were slowly moving forward in the demonic Qi. Suddenly, the two of them heard an abnormal sound coming from their surroundings.
A second later.
Su Fang and Xuanxin summoned their flying swords almost at the same time. They flew into the air. Suddenly, a black figure that looked like a statue appeared in the demonic Qi in front of them.
When the demonic Qi dissipated a little, a shocking stone snake was revealed.
The stone snake was several times thicker than a bucket. It looked like a stone statue. However, when the snake swept its body in front of them, it was a huge black snake. It stared at them coldly. Some burning demonic Qi appeared on the surface of the stone snake. After the demonic Qi disappeared, the stone snake seemed to wake up and immediately coiled up.
Moreover, stone men that were similarly revived appeared around them. They were the stone statues that they had seen before. They had no facial features and only had human bodies.
At this time, they were not stone statues, but stone men.
Xuanxin was on guard against their surroundings. "Powerful Netherguards. Just a little bit of our aura can revive them. Moreover, there are so many of them. Their aura seems to be very deep. It seems that even a stone man Netherguard is very scary."
"Let's go."
Without prior agreement, they fled to the right side of the demonic Qi.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
When they moved, the serpent Netherguards and stone men Netherguards came to life. At first, they were very clumsy, but their steps were nimble. They chased after them as fast as lightning.
In the demonic Qi, Su Fang and Xuanxin only had one thought in their minds. Run for their lives.
Otherwise, how could they be a match for so many Netherguards?
Boom! Boom!
Boom! A shocking aura exploded from the demonic Qi in front of them. The two of them looked over and saw the demonic Qi light up. A large number of floating figures appeared. Most of them were Netherguards that were releasing demonic Qi. There were so many of them that they were almost uncountable.
That ball of light appeared suddenly. In the blink of an eye, it was extinguished in the depths of the demonic Qi.
Bang!
Su Fang and Xuanxin looked at each other. They were both shocked. It seemed that they were not the only ones who had encountered the Netherguards. The other cultivators in the depths were also fighting with the Netherguards.
Buzz!
At the same time, from the depths of the flickering demonic Qi, a formless Qi suddenly rushed towards Xuanxin.
Her command medallion vibrated slightly. She immediately focused her gaze and nodded at Su Fang. "A disciple of my sect is requesting for help. I have to rush over. You be careful. It's best if you escape. If you encounter Dragon Lord, it's best if you avoid him."
Whoosh!
It seemed that the lives of her fellow sect members were very important to Xuanxin. After leaving behind a sentence, she leaped into the demonic Qi like a dragonfly.
At this moment, the Netherguards behind them were also chasing after them. In reality, Su Fang was more confident than anyone else in this place. He released his Great Perfection Stage ability. It seemed that he continued to flee on his sword. His aura was even more mysterious.
As long as there was an aura that did not belong to the mausoleum, these sleeping Netherguards would be awakened. Therefore, if a cultivator had an extraordinary sealing technique, they would have a higher chance of survival in this place.
