It was already scary enough to be stabbed by so many flying swords. Now, he was forced to eat this strange thing … The person looked at the thing beside his mouth and said in fear, "What … what is this?" He could already feel that this pearl had an aura similar to that of the flying swords that could suppress him. If he ate it, he would die!
"You don't look like you want to eat it?" Yue Qianchou asked sinisterly. Close to a hundred purple flying swords suddenly moved closer by an inch. The person immediately cried out, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it …" His mouth was wide open.
Yue Qianchou flicked his finger, and the green pearl directly burrowed into the person's throat. The person coughed and looked at him in fear. Yue Qianchou smiled faintly and said, "That's right! Don't ever think about forcing him out, and don't ever think about escaping. Otherwise, you will end up very badly. "
That bead was not something else, it was condensed from green fire. When Yue Qianchou heard that the person was so weak despite having an early-stage Netherworld Venerable cultivation, he knew that part of the reason was that he had already been injured by Graycloud Xin, but the most important reason was that his own fire arts could restrain the person. Yue Qianchou recalled the time when he used fire arts to suppress Ghost General Meng Yan in the Demon Ghost Region. The extreme Yang flames were the bane of ghosts and spirits, and they were very useful in the Netherworld.
Thus, he had a sudden idea and condensed a Green Fire Pearl for the person to swallow. If the person was forced out by force, or escaped the range of the Green Fire Pearl, then the Green Fire Pearl would immediately explode into a fierce green fire in the person's stomach. It would be strange if this ghost-type Netherworld monster did not turn into ashes.
Yue Qianchou's body flashed out of the glacier after he had placed a restriction on the other party. Nearly a hundred purple flying swords broke through the ice and flew into his sleeves with a 'whoosh'. Graycloud Xin stared at his sleeves for a while, then looked at the person in the ice cave and said, "What did you give him to eat?"
"In any case, he's not a good person. If he dares to disobey, I'll make sure he doesn't even have the chance to cry." Yue Qianchou chuckled. The people in the ice cave shuddered at his words. Suddenly, a sinister laugh was heard from above: "Stop playing dead down there. Get up here!"
"Bang, bang … Hua … Rumble …" Strange sounds came from both ends of the Netherworld River. After the entire glacier trembled, it was finally unable to withstand the scouring of the Netherworld River. It broke away from the solidification of the two sides of the river and slowly floated downstream along with the Netherworld River.
The glacier beneath their feet shook violently from time to time. Dense spiderweb-like cracks had already begun to appear. Yue Qianchou and Cang Yunxin stood firmly on top of it, watching the person climbing out of the hole in the ice. After that person carefully looked at the two of them, he realized that he couldn't see through their cultivation at all. It was obvious that they were both stronger than him. His entire face instantly turned bitter, and he silently cursed his bad luck.
Previously, when he saw the speed of the two flying shuttles, he estimated that their cultivation should be similar to his. In addition, he saw that they were people from the Celestial World and not locals, so he didn't take them seriously. In the end, he suffered such a disaster. Little did he know that Cang Yunxin was being careful and didn't dare to fly too fast, but there were people who came to seek death …
"Thou art of the Netherworld River's Water Tribe. We are flying in the air and have nothing to do with you. Why are you waiting for an opportunity to harm us?" Cang Yunxin shouted coldly. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but glance at him. He realized that once this fellow came to the Netherworld, the way he spoke immediately changed. In the Celestial World, he was very unscrupulous and arrogant. Here, no matter how ruthless he was, he always had a bit of a diplomatic tone. He was very similar to those people in his previous life, which made people a little uncomfortable.
The person said weakly, "I really didn't mean to target you. Before you came, I had already set up the Mirage Mist Formation, but you just happened to barge in …"
"Stop your f * cking nonsense. The Netherworld isn't your home. Do you think it's reasonable for you to rob us here? That … that … "Yue Qianchou pointed at his nose and asked," River Clam Demon, what's your name? "
From their tone, one could tell that the younger one was obviously not a kind person. The person immediately nodded and said, "This lowly one is Shen You."
"Shen You?" Yue Qianchou paused for a moment. He realized that it was indeed a monster from the Netherworld River. Even its name was strange. "Shen You, tell me honestly. Why did you set up a formation here to harm people?"
River Clam Shen You replied weakly, "There are often people from the Celestial World coming and going on this road. This lowly one is sick of the food in the Netherworld River, so I wanted to change my taste …"
Yue Qianchou and Gray Cloud Xin's expressions twitched. They didn't expect to almost become food in someone else's mouth. At this moment, the glacier under their feet shook violently again, and the sound of ice cracking could be heard. The entire glacier continued to split into smaller pieces, and the ice beneath their feet flowed even faster.
"Were we trapped by his Mirage Mist Formation for a few hours?" Yue Qianchou suddenly asked Gray Cloud Xin. The latter nodded in confusion. Yue Qianchou squinted at Shen You and sneered. "A few hours of delay, and now there's a burden … Hehe! Shen You, I can't vent my anger. Tell me, why should I spare your life? "
Shen You panicked. He swallowed the bead but didn't dare to run. He waved his hand and denied, "Not a burden, not a burden! May I ask if the two of you are going to Twilight City? "
The two looked at each other. Yue Qianchou asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"
"This lowly one only deduced it from the direction the two of you were flying in. As long as the two of you spare my life, I'm willing to take the two of you on the river. I won't be slower than the two of you in the air, "Shen You begged. He didn't doubt that Yue Qianchou would kill him if he was unhappy.
"This Netherworld River connects to Twilight City?" Yue Qianchou confirmed with Gray Cloud Xin. Gray Cloud Xin nodded. "Twilight City is indeed not far from the Netherworld River."
"Then hurry up!" Yue Qianchou waved his hand and shouted. Shen You had a Green Fire Bead in his body, so he wasn't afraid of him playing tricks.
Jiu You nodded in delight. He twisted his limbs and the wounds on his body healed at a visible rate. Even his palm, which had been blasted apart by the flying sword, had recovered to its original state. However, his dark face appeared somewhat pale. Clearly, this method of healing consumed a lot of his cultivation.
Suddenly, Shen You quickly retreated more than ten meters on the glacier and crawled on the cracked ice. His body flickered, and a huge river clam appeared on the ice. It was dark brown and oval in shape. It was more than ten meters long and four to five meters thick. It was very rare. Gray Cloud Xin was a knowledgeable person, but he couldn't help but exclaim, "For a river clam to grow to your size, it must have cultivated for a long time!"
Yue Qianchou was also amazed. He was a cultivator, so he knew that it was extremely difficult for this kind of shellfish to cultivate. It was many times more difficult than other animals. It was a miracle that it could grow to such a large size.
Shen You's voice came from the huge river clam. He smiled bitterly and said, "I lived for five hundred thousand years in ignorance. Later on, my spiritual wisdom appeared, and after five hundred thousand years, I was lucky enough to find the knack of cultivation. After two hundred thousand years of cultivation, I have achieved what I have today … Great Immortals, please get on my back. I will take you to Twilight City."
Yue Qianchou and Cangyun Xin were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and then flashed to the back of the giant clam.
"Great Immortals, sit tight!" As soon as he finished his words, the oval-shaped giant clam started to move on its own at an extremely fast speed. With a swish, it slipped away on the ice surface. In the blink of an eye, it slid out of the ice and plunged into the cold Styx River. Its back was less than one meter above the water, but the surface area was more than three meters square. It was enough for Gray Cloud Xin and Yue Qianchou to stand or sit.
Shen You wasn't bragging. His speed in the water was indeed not slower than Gray Cloud Xin's flying shuttle. The two stood on his back and felt the coolness of the Styx River. They looked at the scenery of the Underworld and felt refreshed. The strangest thing was that when such a huge river clam moved through the water, not a single splash was made. Not even the slightest sound could be heard. It could be seen that this old and experienced fellow in the Netherworld River was really good at manipulating water.
Gray Cloud Xin suddenly looked at Yue Qianchou with a strange expression. With his vast experience, he must have taken advantage of Yue Qianchou and experienced the feeling of swimming in the Styx River for the first time. If he told the people of the Heartless Palace about this experience, they would definitely be fascinated …
Everyone had vanity. It depended on which aspect it was. Yue Qianchou didn't know that Gray Cloud Xin had such vain thoughts. After he recovered from his shock, he looked around and sat on the slightly protruding shell in the middle. He patted the shell and said, "Shen You, from what you said earlier, you've lived for at least 1.2 million years?"
"I've lived for so many years in vain. I'm not as powerful as the two great immortals." Shen You was humble to show that he had lived for so many years.
"Legend has it that the Styx River flowed through the entire Underworld since ancient times. There are even rumors that say without the Styx River, there would be no Underworld. There are even more exaggerated sayings that say without the Styx River, there would be no living beings in the Three Realms. Although these are all exaggerations, I think only such an ancient river can have living beings like you who have lived for millions of years. "Gray Cloud Xin sighed as he faced the cool breeze of the Styx River.
Then, he looked at his feet and said, "You can live for 500,000 years before your intelligence is developed. I think you must be an ancient mutant, similar to the fierce beasts in our Celestial World. Otherwise, normal living beings can't live for so many years before their cultivation is complete."
"Hehe! Great immortal, you flatter me. It would be great if I was an ancient mutant. " Shen You smiled bitterly and said, "Ancient mutants that can live as long as me can more or less have a place in the Styx River with their talents and abilities. They won't wander around the Styx River like me."
