"What's over there?" On the Bridge of Life and Death, Perfected Lord Liu Shanshan narrowed her eyes and stared at the source of the Yin River.
When Ye Kong and the others who were observing the situation heard this, they retracted their gazes and looked in the direction that Liu Shanshan was pointing at.
On the Netherworld River that was pitch-black like ink, pieces of Phosphorescent Ghost Flames slowly floated over.
The baleful flames were very strange. They floated on the pitch-black surface of the water like feathers, slowly drifting over and not extinguishing.
Ye Kong and the rest had never seen such flames before. Just as they were wondering, they heard Wang Xin exclaim in joy.
"Yin River Fire! It's really Yin River Fire. Haha, I was right! I was right to stay and gain a lot! "
Ye Kong and the rest finally understood that this was the Yin River Fire that Wang Xin had mentioned earlier.
The Fire Reverence Fiend Sect valued mystical flames the most. Usually, they would investigate wherever there was a fire. But today, Perfected Lord Wang Xin was a little crazy after seeing this legendary fire that was rarely seen in ten thousand years.
"Ye Kong, thank you. Thank you for bringing us here and breaking through the Ghost Emperor's defense. That's why we have the chance to come here. I thank you. I'll be forever grateful to you." Wang Xin, who was usually a man of few words, spoke incoherently.
Ye Kong said, "Perfected Lord Wang Xin, don't stand on ceremony. The Yin River Fire is below. Hurry up and collect it or it will float away."
Wang Xin nodded, "I'm going."
With that said, he stepped on the railing and was about to jump into the Yin River from the Bridge of Life and Death. Everyone was shocked. Liu Shanshan hurriedly pulled Wang Xin back and asked, "Hubby, what do you mean?"
Wang Xin said, "You don't know that the Yin River Fire cannot be collected. You have to absorb and refine it on the spot. If you leave the Yin River, it will be extinguished immediately and disappear."
Liu Shanshan's expression changed drastically, "Absorb and refine it on the spot? Flying is prohibited in this immortal array, so how are you going to absorb and refine it? Could it be that you want to jump into the Netherworld Yin River? "
Ye Kong also advised, "Immortal Wang Xin, it's best that you don't get excited. This Nether River is bottomless and as dark as ink. It's not a good river. You'd better think of a way to obtain fire before you can go down."
Wang Xin was not in a hurry. He smiled faintly and raised his hand to take out a folded paper boat. With a flick of his finger, the flat paper boat opened up. With another wave of his hand, the paper boat fell into the river and became the size of a canoe.
"Isn't this enough?" Wang Xin placed his hand on the railing and jumped off the Bridge of Life and Death, landing steadily on the small boat.
The paper boat was also strange. Although it was floating on the Netherworld River, it did not flow with the river. No matter how fast the river flowed, it did not move at all.
Not long after, the feather-like Yin River Fire floated over.
Wang Xin was overjoyed. He hurriedly leaned on the side of the boat and reached out to grab the Yin River Fire. Ye Kong had also cultivated the Fire Worship Fiend Art and knew that refining and absorbing fire was like this. He used his hand to grab it.
"Yin River Fire! My Fire Worship Fiend Sect's founder obtained and refined it hundreds of thousands of years ago. After that, no one else had this opportunity. To think that I, Wang Xin, would also obtain the Yin River Fire! "
Wang Xin reached out to grab the feather-like phosphorescence. He thought that he would succeed, but when his finger touched the surface of the Nether River, something strange happened.
The inky black water seemed to have a life of its own as it trembled violently. Then, a circle of ripples spread out. The part of the water that Wang Xin's finger touched started to sink.
To his horror, Wang Xin found that his fingers were stuck to the surface of the water.
His finger stuck to the water, and the water sank again. In other words, Wang Xin was being pulled down bit by bit by the water.
The people on the bridge who were paying attention to him also noticed that something was wrong. Liu Shanshan felt nervous. She held on to the railing and shouted, "Husband, take your hand back!"
Wang Xin leaned on the side of the boat, unable to move. He shouted, "I can't! My hand is stuck, I can't take it back! "
Liu Shanshan's beautiful eyes reddened. She asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Hao Yilong said, "Broken finger to survive!"
Wang Xin shouted again, "It still can't work! I can't move. If I move even a little, the river's pulling force will double. I don't dare to move at all … Someone help me! "
"I'll do it!" As husband and wife, Liu Shanshan flipped over and jumped off the Life and Death Bridge into the paper boat. Then, she took out her hairpin and waved it.
This hairpin was also a Dharma artifact. It could emit tiny and slender sword light. It wasn't very useful in battle, but it came in handy at this moment.
The inch-long sword light flashed and accurately cut the knuckle of Wang Xin's middle finger.
"Phew ~" Wang Xin's body relaxed. He let out a sigh of relief. He leaned on the side of the boat and smiled bitterly.
Although his middle finger was cut off, it would grow back in the future with the help of elixirs. Even if it didn't grow back, it didn't matter. A knuckle in exchange for a life, even a fool would know it was worth it.
Liu Shanshan scolded, "You should be more careful. How can this Netherworld River be simple?" She scolded and said, "Alright, let's go up."
Wang Xin shook his head. "Wait, I haven't obtained the Fire of the Yin River yet."
Liu Shanshan's face paled. "You still want to go get it?"
Wang Xin nodded. "Of course. My Fire Reverence Fiend Sect cultivates with fire and loves fire. This Fire of the Yin River is a kind of Deviant Fire from the Netherworld. If I can obtain it and refine it, it will be of great help to my cultivation. I can't just watch it flow away!"
"But it's very dangerous!" Liu Shanshan tried to persuade him again.
Wang Xin said, "I know it's dangerous, but as immortal cultivators, we have always been walking on a treacherous single-log bridge. When have opportunities not coexisted with danger? When have we not experienced danger when we obtained a Strange Flame? I didn't leave with Pan Dong previously because of this Fire of the Yin River. If I don't take it when I see it, I won't be able to forgive myself. This isn't something a Fire Reverence Fiend Sect disciple should do. "
After saying that, Wang Xin leaned back on the side of the boat and reached out to grab the Yin River Fire that was about to flow past.
This time, he was even more careful. His fingers were far away from the water surface and his movements were even faster. He hoped to end the battle quickly.
However, he had already touched the Yin River of the Netherworld. The Yin River swallowed his fingers and wouldn't let him leave.
"Splash!" Suddenly, a loud sound of water resounded. The calm Yin River of the Netherworld suddenly turned into a huge wave. The black river water was like paint that splashed onto Wang Xin's body.
Following that, the extremely viscous river water pulled him into the water.
This strange phenomenon happened so suddenly that Wang Xin couldn't react at all. Half of his body was dragged into the river.
"Husband!" Liu Shanshan cried out in alarm and hurriedly grabbed Wang Xin.
However, the Yin River of the Netherworld seemed to be enraged. It raised another water curtain and enveloped the two of them, fiercely dragging them into the pitch-black water.
In the end, Wang Xin held on tightly to the Yin River Fire.
Ye Kong and Hao Yilong were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Wang Xin and Liu Shanshan would die here. Ye Kong's heart was a little heavy and he blamed himself. Looking at this scene, he hated himself for not decisively rescuing them earlier.
However, in the face of the Yin River that separated celestials, what could he do even if he rescued them? It was just one more person entering the water.
