The elder from the Plum Clan said, "This … this person has just been recruited. We don't know his background and background. Moreover, he's an evil cultivator. How can Miss let him be her guard?"
Lu Qi's divine light swept over the recruited cultivators. She pouted and said, "Miss's safety is very important. Naturally, she needs an expert to protect her in this trip to the Ninth Underworld. These cultivators all look like dogs, but who knows what kind of tricks they have in mind? "
The cultivators all smiled awkwardly.
Lu Qi then pointed at Su Fang. "Not only is he ugly, but he also looks poor. His strength is not bad either. I don't think it's a good idea to have him as your guard."
'Ugly?
Poor? '
Su Fang helplessly touched the tip of his nose, feeling extremely depressed.
The elder from the Plum Clan could only agree. "Fine. Then we'll give this cultivator named Su Tianyun to Miss."
Thus, Su Fang became Miss Mei Xuerou's guard.
Su Fang followed Lu Qi to the courtyard's backyard. Lu Qi put on a cold face and warned Su Fang, "Su Tianyun, listen carefully. Miss is a noble. She's a divine phoenix on a branch, but you're a toad in a mud pit. If you're loyal to Miss, you'll naturally be rewarded. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, be careful that you'll be skinned alive! "
Su Fang nodded. "I understand. I know what kind of person I am. How would I dare to have any evil thoughts about Miss?"
But in his heart, he thought, I don't have any evil thoughts about Miss Mei Xuerou, but I'm determined to get her plum spiritual energy.
Lu Qi continued to ask, "Do you know why Miss wants you to be her guard?"
Su Fang was also puzzled. "Why?"
"Miss chose you to be her guard not because of your strength or your honest appearance, but because your surname is Su."
"Surname Su?"
"Hmph, the Young Miss admires an expert with the surname Su. It's precisely because your surname is Su that the Young Miss made you her guard. However, that guy with the surname Su is like a divine sun in the sky, and you are like a firefly on the ground. There is no comparison. "
Su Fang came to a sudden realization and smiled bitterly again.
Su Fang met Mei Xuerou again in the back hall of the mansion.
Mei Xuerou's face was still covered by a veil. She asked Su Fang a few questions and gave Su Fang some pills. Then, she asked Lu Qi to arrange a place for Su Fang. She didn't put on the airs of a young lady from a powerful cultivation family.
When Su Fang approached Mei Xuerou, the Yang Meridian in his body stirred again. This made him even more certain that the plum spiritual energy could help him consolidate a Yang Meridian successfully. At the same time, it made him even more determined to get his hands on the plum spiritual energy.
Su Fang stayed in the inn that day. Approximately ten days later, the powerhouses from the Duanmu Divine Clan and the Plum Divine Clan left the Sky Beacon Divine World with over fifty recruited powerhouses. They traveled through the sky, passed through the battlefield of the Two Realm River, and entered the territory controlled by the Dao Defiants Alliance.
At that moment, the most powerful middle-aged lady from the Plum Divine Clan, Madam Mei, put everyone into her magic treasure's space. Then, she headed straight for the space-time node that led to Abyss.
There were some special space-time nodes in Abyss. This was no longer a secret among the various God Clans.
With Madam Mei's cultivation base as a peak upper-rank lord-level, she was basically unimpeded in the Dao Defiants Alliance's territory as long as she was not unlucky enough to run into the Dao Defiants Alliance's Emperors.
Approximately thirty years later.
Su Fang and the others were released from Madam Mei's magic treasure's space.
Su Fang used his perfection-level ability to sense and discovered the dark clouds in the sky. There was also the Soul Rain falling from the sky, as well as the Nether Threads floating in the air. As it turned out, Madam Mei had already entered Abyss through the space-time node.
Naturally, she was not in the Nether River. Instead, she was in the outer space-time of Abyss. This year, many human cultivators, Big Goblin, and even the Dao Defiants from the Dao Defiants Alliance, the Devil Tribe, and evil organizations from the Dark World had entered Abyss to search for treasures in the outer space-time node.
Su Fang was rather curious. "It's not that easy to enter the Nether River. Back then, Dixuan and the others entered the Nether River with a Boundary Breaker Rune. I wonder what method the Duanmu Divine Clan and the Plum Divine Clan have to enter the Nether River and find the Land of Reincarnation."
An elder from the Duanmu Divine Clan took out a leaf-shaped magic treasure. After activating it, the magic treasure turned into a thousand-foot-long withered yellow leaf. The divine might it released condensed into a barrier, blocking the Nether Threads and the Soul Rain that fell from the sky from time to time.
"Everyone!"
Madam Mei's divine light swept across the experts she had recruited. Her eyes shone with a sharp light, and she instantly looked very heroic.
The cultivators who had been recruited all felt their hearts skip a beat. The pressure from a peak Overgod made them all tremble.
Then, Madam Mei revealed the true purpose of this trip. "The Plum Divine Clan has recruited all of you to come to Abyss not to the outer space-time, but to enter the legendary Nether River and the Land of Reincarnation, the Heavenly Wheel of Yin Yang, to help an important person reincarnate."
The cultivators who had been recruited all had their divine light transformed.
The Nine Nether Land and the legendary Nether River were two completely different things. The Nine Nether Land usually referred to the outer area, where the danger was much lower. If one was lucky, one could even find treasures.
However, the Nether River was different. It was the legendary River of Reincarnation. Not to mention Path Integration cultivators, even peerless Overgods would find it difficult to escape once they fell into the Heavenly Wheel of Reincarnation.
One of the recruited Overgods snorted. "Madam Mei, this is different from what the Plum Divine Clan said when they recruited us. Could it be that the Plum Divine Clan intends to send us to our deaths in the Nether River and use us as cannon fodder?"
Madam Mei smiled casually. "You must have misunderstood. Now that the Heavenly Wheel of Reincarnation has shattered, the Nether River isn't as dangerous as the legends say, except for some remnant souls and Nether monsters. Moreover, our clan has already made sufficient preparations to enter the Nether River this time. Why would we send you to your deaths? "
Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Madam Mei pointed at Mei Xuerou. "This is my biological daughter. Moreover, she's the Dao companion of the Duanmu Divine Clan's peerless genius. She has such a noble status, but her cultivation base is only at the Path Integration Realm. If the Nether River is really as dangerous as the legends say, why would I send her to her death in the Nether River?"
Only then did everyone dispel their doubts.
Madam Mei struck while the iron was hot. "As long as you return from the Nether River, I promise that each of you will receive an additional ten thousand Creation Sacred Pills. My clan will also give a Royal Grade divine artifact as a reward for the one who contributed the most."
Only then did the recruited Overgod's expression soften. He nodded and said, "In that case, there's no harm in me making a trip to the Nether River."
The other cultivators agreed one after another.
Next, Madam Mei took out pills and distributed them to the fifty or so recruited experts.
Madam Mei explained that these pills were called Nether Yin Pills. They were refined from spiritual items that contained Nether Yin Qi in the Ninth Underworld.
The only use of the Nether Yin Pill was that after swallowing it, the cultivator's aura would contain Nether Yin Qi. In this way, those Nether Souls and Nether Monsters would not attack the cultivators after entering the Nether River.
Su Fang also received a Nether Yin Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
However, he sneered in his heart.
'Nether Yin Qi is the aura of death. How can ordinary cultivators swallow it? Although the Nether Yin Pill can avoid the attacks of ordinary Nether Souls and Nether Monsters, there will definitely be huge side effects in the cultivator's body.
'If one doesn't listen to the orders of the Duanmu Divine Clan and the Mei Clan in the Nether River, one will probably die before leaving the Nether River. This Madam Mei is really ruthless. No wonder she's so heartless even to her own daughter.'
Although Su Fang was well aware, he did not say anything. The side effects of the Nether Yin Pill were not a threat to him at all. As for the other people's business, he could not be bothered.
Suddenly …
Su Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Mei Xuerou's maidservant, Lu Qi. The corners of his lips curled up into a sneer.
So that maidservant, Lu Qi, was secretly using talismans? She was communicating with someone. He did not know who that person was and what their purpose was.
It seemed that this maidservant, Lu Qi, was not an ordinary person.
Everyone sat down cross-legged and combined the power of the pills to change their aura of life.
The Nether Yin Pill was indeed effective. After the combination, it was no longer the aura of life but the cold Nether Yin Qi.
About a month later.
Everyone combined the pills. Madam Mei and the Duanmu Divine Clan powerhouses were about to find a way to enter the Nether River.
One of the Duanmu Divine Clan powerhouses took out a seed that looked like a peach pit. The patterns on it were like natural marks in the sky, exuding an ancient aura. No one knew what it was for.
At that moment, Su Fang sensed two auras flying toward him from his right. If their speed was measured in nature, they would only be at the level of a Godly Venerable. However, in the Abysmal Land where the shackles were shocking, such speed was only at the level of a peak upper-lord-level powerhouse.
One of the auras caused the Heavenly Secret Life-shrinking Skill Dao runes in the depths of Su Fang's Divine Aperture to flicker rapidly. In the end, it consolidated into the figure of a young man in white.
Although it was not very familiar, it was not unfamiliar either. It was the aura of destiny from the Imperial people's genius, Dixu.
The other aura came from a powerhouse from the Imperial people. His cultivation was not at peak lord-level. He was only at the level of an ordinary upper-lord-level. However, he was even more insubstantial than a peak lord-level powerhouse like Madam Mei. Clearly, he was a great powerhouse from the Imperial people.
Su Fang glanced at Lu Qi and immediately understood what was going on. Clearly, this maidservant had been bribed by Dixu. When Dixu learned that Mei Xuerou was coming to the Abysmal Land, he had been waiting in the Abysmal Land for a long time.
Subsequently, Madam Mei and the other lord-level powerhouses sensed the arrival of Dixu and the Imperial people one after another. Their expressions changed instantly as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Miss Mei, it's you? I didn't expect to meet you in the Abysmal Land. What a coincidence! "
