Xue Yu hurriedly asked, "Did Mei Ji confirm it from Niu Youde?"
Mei Ji was her disciple, and she and Yu Luocha were originally master and servant. Later on, they had an additional master-disciple relationship.
Yu Luocha pondered, "I can't say it's confirmed, but Mei Ji found out that Niu Youde was plotting with someone and mentioned the Nameless Gate. He wanted to go to the quiet spring to find something."
Mei Ji was surprised, "Could it be that the Nameless Gate is hidden in the quiet spring? Is that possible? "
Yu Luocha, "Nothing is impossible. The quiet spring is dangerous and a good place to hide things. And Niu Youde probably found some clues in the ruins of the Nameless Gate. According to Mei Ji, she was afraid that Niu Youde didn't make a move, so she used the Nameless Gate to provoke him. That's why Niu Youde made such a move. So, no matter what, we have to find a way to verify it. I can't leave here for too long. You have to go there yourself. "
Xue Yu nodded, "I understand. I'll set off now."
Yu Luocha, "Also, Mei Ji heard that Niu Youde is looking for people. He also said that it's a bit dangerous. Don't be careless. Bring more people and try to make sure that there are no leaks on our side. The people you bring must be reliable. Also, try to avoid exposing our identity. You should understand this."
Xue Yu nodded and asked tentatively, "If Niu Youde really found that place, how should we deal with it? His background … "
"What about Kou Lingxu's background?" Yu Luocha said without hesitation, "If he really found it, we must eliminate him without leaking the news!"
In this way, Xue Yu had a clear idea of what to do.
Ksitigarbha Temple. Mei Ji soon received the news from the Western Paradise. She summoned her disciples and quickly disguised themselves. Then, she quietly left the temple and the Ghost City. She rushed to the quiet spring and was ordered to explore the way …
The netherworld belonged to the Netherworld. Dang Yin Mountain was also in the netherworld. But it was not in the core area. The real core area was like a rotating cloud in the starry sky. It was treacherous, deep, and calm. There seemed to be a funnel in the middle of each cloud. The funnel hole looked like the mouth of a spring, so this place was called the Quiet Spring.
The springs of various sizes were like the eyes of ghosts in the vast starry sky. Even though they were still very far away, they seemed to have been stared at by those deep and frightening eyes. Although the countless springs were of different sizes, each spring only led to one place, the Nether Spring!
The mouth of the spring was actually similar to a Stargate. As soon as a person approached, there would be a powerful suction force sucking them in. However, it was different from the other Stargates. Every spring led to the same place, the Netherworld Spring!
In the starry sky, tens of thousands of people flew over and stopped not too far away from the swirling clouds, just enough to avoid the attraction of the spring.
The people leading the front row were none other than the disciples of the Xiahou, Ying, Hao, Guang, and Kou clans. The one from the Xiahou Clan was called Xiahou Zhengyang, the one from the Ying Clan was called Ying Yang, and the one from the Hao Clan was called Hao Yuntian. The one from the Guang clan was called Guang Sheng, and the one from the Kou clan was called Guang Guang? Wen Bai.
The disciples from the Four Heavenly Kings' clans were all the eldest sons and eldest grandsons. Only the Xiahou Clan sent the eldest grandson of the second son, Xiahou Ling. However, the Xiahou Clan was different from the other clans. No one knew how many descendants Xiahou Ta had. Most of them were probably hiding in the dark, and many people knew this.
Apart from these few clans, the descendants of the various Marshals and Starmonarchs' clans also came to participate.
"What are the bets for this hunt?" Ying Yang looked around and asked about the bets.
Xiahou Zhengyang said calmly, "Let's go with the old rules. We'll bet on who will return empty-handed. "
"Alright!" The others agreed.
The so-called old rules were to see who hunted the most, while the others would have to offer up all their prey and return empty-handed. At their level, they couldn't say that cultivation resources weren't important. Their clans wouldn't give them whatever they wanted in order to put pressure on them. However, face was more important in this situation. If they could make others return empty-handed, that would be the greatest victory of this hunt.
After the rules were set, no one was in a hurry to barge in. Most people would come here to take risks, as their status was not ordinary. Naturally, they wouldn't come here to take risks. They had already sent scouts to scout ahead.
Not long after, people came out from the void. The scout from the Xiahou Clan was the first to report that everything was normal.
"Let's go!" Xiahou Zhengyang waved his hand and led the people from the Xiahou Clan out. They barged into the mouth of a spring and instantly disappeared.
In reality, the people from the Xiahou Clan were the least. It couldn't be helped. On the surface, there weren't many people from the Xiahou Clan who could come to support them.
The other clans received the scouts' reports and barged into the spring one by one.
It was unknown if it was intentional, but the scout from the Ying Clan was the last to appear. After reporting that everything was normal, Ying Yang still asked in detail, "Is there no one else in the spring?"
The scout replied, "There are some people hunting. They should be people from various clans and sects. They usually go deep into the fifth level of the spring. Very few people dare to go deeper."
Ying Yang nodded slightly. This was normal. Some people from various clans and sects would often come here to take risks in order to gather some rare spirit herbs, immortal herbs, or capture some spirit beasts or demonic beasts in exchange for cultivation resources. These people didn't dare to go too deep into the eighteenth level of the spring. If they ran into a powerful demonic beast, it might not be worth it. The deeper they went, the more terrifying the demonic beasts would be, especially the terrifying thing called the 'Grim Reaper' in the depths of the spring.
Thinking of the terrifying demonic beast called the 'Grim Reaper', Ying Yang felt his back tighten. He asked, "The monster in the depths of the spring hasn't gone crazy and ran around, right?"
The scout replied, "There's no movement at the moment."
Ying Yang tilted his head and looked behind him. One of the two cultivators behind him transmitted his voice, "Let's set up camp in the fifth level of the spring. It's too deep. With the target's ability, he probably wouldn't dare to go too deep."
After Ying Yang silently agreed, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The two cultivators behind him immediately moved to the front to open up a path, and the group rushed into the mouth of the spring.
On a distant planet, Miao Yi stood on the peak of a mountain and opened the Heaven's Eye between his brows. A brilliant pillar of light of different lengths adjusted itself, locking onto Ying Yang's group. He could see everything clearly.
The phantom market was originally located in the Nether Realm, so it was naturally convenient for them to come here. It could even be said that they had arrived early to wait.
Only when Ying Yang and the others had entered the mouth of the spring did the Heaven's Eye's light abruptly retract. The crack between his brows quickly closed into a vertical red line.
There was no other way. Although the Heaven's Eye was amazing, it still had its limits. It couldn't see through things like starry doors.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows as well. He could clearly see the situation around Ying Yang. There were only about a thousand people, and most of them were Colorful Lotus cultivators. Only a few of them were at the Lotus Transformation realm. Compared to the few people who had attacked him in the Western Paradise, this lineup was much stronger. However, compared to the people he had brought with him, it was simply not enough. Miao Yi was tempted to order the few people behind him to attack right away.
But when he thought about it, he felt that it wasn't right. What kind of trap was this? Hence, he restrained himself.
Behind him stood six people. The Ghost Dao's General Leng Zhuoqun, the Buddhist Dao's General Gui Wu, the Devil Dao's General Dan Qing, the Demon Dao's General Chang Hong, the Immortal Dao's General Meng Ru, and the Boundless Dao's General Ao Tie. The six of them had immediately rushed here to meet up with Miao Yi after receiving the notice. At this moment, they were all in disguise.
After seeing Miao Yi slowly retract his Heaven's Eye, the six of them looked at each other. They couldn't tell what the look in their eyes was.
However, the Demon Dao's General Chang Hong secretly whispered to the others, "Why does it look a little like the Heaven's Eye of the Demon Lord's General, Shen Mi?"
"A little like it …" Someone muttered with a strange and suspicious tone.
Sensing the fluctuation of transcendence energy, Miao Yi turned around to look. The secret communication immediately stopped, but Miao Yi did not stop shaking the starbell in his hand.
After waiting for a while for the starbell to reply, Miao Yi put it away and said, "The target is here. Let's go."
He took the lead and flew into the sky. The six of them immediately followed behind.
They didn't go through the mouth of the spring that Ying Yang and the others had entered. Instead, they went through another mouth of the spring.
After passing through the mouth of the spring, they instantly entered a dusky world. It was a world that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was as though they had entered an ancient land of death.
As soon as they landed, they quickly surveyed their surroundings. Finally, they looked up at the sky. In the dusky sky, there were countless mouths of the spring spinning. Some were spinning with the flow, while others were spinning in the opposite direction. It was as though countless flowers were blooming in the sky. It was a strange sight.
Even though it was Miao Yi's first time here, he knew that the mouths spinning with the flow were the entrances to the next layer of the Spirit Spring, while the ones spinning in the opposite direction were the entrances to the exit.
"Squeak squeak …" A strange sound suddenly came from not too far away.
When they turned around to look, they saw a green mist emerging out of thin air. It continued to emerge, until finally, it completely emerged and turned into a long dragon. It wriggled and danced in the dusky sky, changing into various patterns.
When they opened their transcendence vision to take a look, they realized that the green mist was formed by countless green bats. Every single one of them was shrouded in a faint gray mist.
The group of green bats seemed to have discovered them and quickly flew in their direction.
No one panicked. They didn't even have any strange reactions. With their strength, it would be a joke if they couldn't even deal with these little monsters.
However, Miao Yi still asked, "What are they?"
Ghost Dao Great General Leng Zhuoqun said, "Soul Devouring Bats. They live by feeding on the souls of living beings. Even though their attacks aren't powerful, don't underestimate them. Once you get bitten, your soul will immediately be damaged. Furthermore, these things can't be killed. They like to attack in groups, and their flying speed is also quite fast. Cultivators below Cailian level will find it hard to defend against their continuous attacks. Once you get entangled and can't escape, it will be very troublesome. They probably escaped from the second layer of the Spirit Spring."
Miao Yi asked curiously, "There are still things that can't be killed?"
Leng Zhuoqun said, "Only Yang fire can kill them. Otherwise, they will never die in the Spirit Spring."
Miao Yi's eyes immediately lit up. "If that's the case, doesn't that mean we can capture some of them and use them?"
Leng Zhuoqun shook his head. "It's useless even if we capture them. They can only survive in this place. They won't be able to survive in places with heavy Yang energy. Moreover, they will turn into ashes the moment they come into contact with sunlight. Not to mention, they can't be tamed."
As they spoke, the group of green bats had already rushed over from afar. Protective aura surged out from their bodies. Dong, dong, dong … They could feel the continuous and rapid attacks.
They ignored these bats. Dan Qing turned around and asked, "Sage Ruler, what should we do next?"
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi took out an ancient bronze mirror. He invoked his arts to enlarge the surface of the mirror and raised it up.
