In a remote area of the Underworld.
In the middle of a hill, two men and a woman were lying behind the hill without any cover. However, one of the men and the woman were chatting softly, while the other had his eyes closed as if he was sensing something.
The former looked like a couple who were having fun, while the latter looked like a subordinate who was doing manual labor.
"I say, big brother and big sister, can you be quieter? It's easy to disturb my exploration." The man who was doing manual labor opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Yan Fei, why are you so serious? Do you really think you can meet a lone vengeful spirit? Let alone a vengeful spirit, we can't even see a ghost now. Tell me, how long have we been here?" The woman couldn't help but laugh.
The man was handsome, and the woman's appearance was not bad. Compared to Yan Fei, who was extremely ordinary, as long as one compared them, they were worthy of the term 'talented man and beautiful woman'.
"One year, three months, and five days." Yan Fei rolled his eyes and quickly said.
"You remember it quite clearly. Then let me ask you, during these days, how many lone spirits or newcomers did we meet?" The woman said with some interest.
"None!"
Speaking of this, Yan Fei was a little dejected.
"It's good that you know. In fact, the boss doesn't have any hope in this place. Now, he is actively preparing to leave and rely on the one who has recently become famous. What are you worried about?" The woman said a few words and turned her head to the man next to her, continuing to look at him affectionately.
The two of them were whispering sweet nothings to each other, not caring about Yan Fei who was next to them. The latter just rested for a while and continued to lie on the ground and listen not far away.
Although they didn't have any merits for so long, and probably wouldn't have any in the future. After all, this road no longer belonged to the core area when the Underworld underwent great changes. Coupled with the guidance of the underworld, it was impossible to fall in the periphery. So like before, the days of casually grabbing some and bringing them back were gone forever.
They had been here for almost a month. In two days, they would go back. They probably wouldn't come again next time. This place was too far away. Even the nearest city gradually lost its vitality in this very short period of time.
Not to mention them, everything changed too quickly. No one could react in time, but everyone knew that this was a great opportunity, but it had nothing to do with them at the bottom.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Yan Fei was about to rest for a while, his ears suddenly twitched. He immediately lay on the ground to listen more carefully. Soon, he opened his eyes again and said excitedly to the two people beside him, "Someone's here!"
When the two people who were deeply in love heard this, they stopped huddling together. They both stuck out their heads and looked into the distance.
They were not afraid that others would see them because they had already set up a concealment array. Even if others walked past them, it would be difficult for them to discover them. The disadvantage was that other than Yan Fei, if they wanted to know what was going on in the distance, they could only stick their heads out.
They only took a glance before retracting their gazes, lest the other party noticed that something was wrong.
"He's not a newcomer, nor is he a vengeful spirit. Why would he come from here?"
Although it was just a glance, the two of them had a brief understanding of the visitor's information.
"Sister Feng, Brother Shui, should we make a move?" Yan Fei, who was all brawn and no brains, asked naively.
"Of course, it's not easy for a few people to come. If we capture them, it will also show that we are not slacking off." Brother Shui rubbed his hands excitedly.
They had not seen anyone for a long time. The sudden appearance of two small characters also made them very excited.
"Yan Fei, wait for us here. The other party is not weak. Don't show your head and alert them." Sister Feng took out her weapon and instructed Yan Fei.
The two of them were not bad. In other words, they had the strength of a peak Heaven Immortal. Otherwise, they would not dare to travel alone. Compared to Yan Fei, who was not even a Heaven Immortal, he was already very powerful. As for the two people who were sneaking around, they had a rough understanding of them. They were much weaker than them. This made them full of confidence as they waited for the other party to come closer.
After the other party walked to the designated area, the two of them no longer hid their figures. They tore off their disguises and flew towards the other party.
At the same time, in the middle of the road, two rays of light flashed. A transparent ray of light rose behind each of the two travelers. It quickly closed together and surrounded them.
This simple trap wasn't very strong and could be broken by the two of them in a dozen breaths at most. However, as the two people in the air came and surrounded them, they stopped their attacks and looked at the two uninvited guests who were looking at them up and down, as if they were looking at prey.
"Who are the two of you? You still dare to come out at this time. Aren't you afraid that the mansion will send troops to eliminate you?" The leader was a relatively young old man with a white beard. However, his height was as short as a woman. At this moment, he shouted in a threatening manner.
His other companion was a man who looked like a tower. He looked incomparably strong, but his strength was only slightly stronger than the old man. He could not compare to the two people in front of him. At this moment, he was protecting the old man loyally.
"Do you think this is enough to scare me? This place is already considered an abandoned area. Even the city is starting to move. Even if you shout until the sky breaks, no one will save you. Just obediently hand over the thing in your arms. Who knows, I might spare your lives." Brother Shui crossed his shoulders and said lazily. It was as if he was sure that the other party would not escape.
"Brother Shui, why are you talking nonsense with them? Kill them and leave this place quickly. At least before we leave, we won't be slacking off." Sister Feng urged from behind.
"That's true. Then I'm sorry." Brother Shui came to a realization. Looking at the other party, his gaze became sharp.
Not far away, Yan Fei had already revealed half of his head. He looked into the distance nervously and enviously. If not for his special ability, he would probably be like the others. He would only be bullied and humiliated. Even now, no one respected him. The two of them only treated him as a sentinel to let them rest.
However, the situation was better than the person. Who asked him to be so weak?
"Do you think those two passengers will be able to escape successfully?"
Just as the battle in the distance was about to start, and Yan Fei wanted to admire it, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Impossible. Brother Shui and the others are very powerful. They have contributed a lot in the past. If not for them using their contributions to go against the boss, they would not have been sent here. Moreover, I only know that the boss is now with the strength of his subordinates. In order to prevent them from getting into any accidents, he is also protecting them." Yan Fei heard someone ask and answered subconsciously. There was some pride on his face. After all, he was now following them.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He immediately turned his head and saw an elegant man dressed in white standing on his right side. His eyes were also looking at the battlefield that had already begun.
"You are …" The frightened Yan Fei was about to shout, but he realized that the man had already put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing sound at him. He did not know what happened in his heart. Suddenly, the voice that he wanted to shout stopped abruptly.
"Look, the other party will be escaping soon."
Hearing the other party's words, Yan Fei felt as if he had lost control of himself. He turned his head and looked at the battle not far away. He comforted himself in his heart. The other party was obviously not an ordinary person. Furthermore, he was dressed so eye-catching. If he did not have the strength, he would have died long ago. He was not a coward, but a wise man submits to circumstances. Yes, he was a wise man.
Thinking of this, Yan Fei suddenly felt that there was no pressure in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the battle outside.
At this moment, Sister Feng and Brother Shui had joined forces to suppress the other party. It seemed that they would be caught at any time. If not for the fact that they wanted to catch them alive, they would have died long ago. Thinking in his heart, he naturally said it out loud.
"How can the other party escape? We will catch them soon."
"I hope so. By the way, let me ask you something." The man paused for a moment and continued, "Where is the nearest city from here?"
"Follow this road and head north. You'll reach it in about two days," Yan Fei said subconsciously.
"Thanks!"
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to and did not seem like an evil person, Yan Fei mustered up his courage and looked at the other party. "Did you just come here? What's your name? If you need me, I can help you. "
At this moment, in his heart, he treated Gu Zheng as a ghost that had just arrived. He had done a lot of things like this in the past. In the past, he was in charge of guiding newcomers and distinguishing vengeful spirits.
"Help? I don't need it now. Let's talk about it when I need it. I hope you don't forget what you said. "The man chuckled and pointed to the front.
"Look, the other party will run away in five breaths of time."
Yan Fei quickly turned his head and looked in that direction. He stared carefully without blinking. After five breaths of time, the two people who were about to be caught suddenly emitted a yellow light. Then, the two of them suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared.
"It's true. How did you … Where are you?" Yan Fei turned his head excitedly, wanting to ask the other party how he knew. In the end, there was no one beside him. It was as if he was hallucinating. He was stunned.
On the other side, just as the two of them were about to leave, Brother Shui's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. Just as the other party was about to disappear, he took out two things from the other party's chest. Only then did the other party completely disappear.
"The other party still has this treasure on him. I was careless." Sister Feng said with some annoyance as she attacked the ground a few times, but only raised a cloud of dust on the ground. There wasn't even a hole.
"Take a look at what this is." Brother Shui opened his palm. In his hand, there were two dazzling gemstones that were like diamonds.
"Stone of Repentance!"
The moment Sister Feng saw it, her breathing became rough. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence from her mouth with some difficulty.
"That's right, we're going to be rich!" Brother Shui's eyes flickered as he shouted.
"The other party actually has this thing in his hand. Should we hand it over?" Sister Feng hesitated and said to Brother Shui.
"How is that possible? I've already said it clearly. We've already snatched these things, so what's the point of keeping them there? As long as we offer them to some big shot, we'll be rich. Whether we stay here or find a chance to reincarnate, we'll have a choice. " How could Brother Shui not understand Sister Feng's thoughts? That kind of whore who wants to establish a chastity is no different from me. It's just that I'm more thick-skinned and said disdainfully.
"Okay, but what about Yan Fei?" Sister Feng swallowed her saliva and glanced over there.
"Don't worry. He's so far away. He can't see the situation here clearly. We still need him to find someone, so let's keep him." Brother Shui glanced over there and said indifferently, "Don't say anything. Otherwise, I'll have to kill him. You know that once the news leaks out, we might not even be able to keep the two in our hands."
"Of course I know." Sister Feng nodded continuously. Her heart was as clear as a mirror.
This Stone of Repentance was something that was born after the great change in the Underworld. However, its value was priceless. Each one could be sold at an unimaginable price.
Because of its special effect, the Stone of Repentance was the name given by the underworld. As the name implied, it could wash away the sins of the past. However, it was one level higher than the Stone of Repentance. Moreover, it targeted different groups of people.
Not to mention that the Stone of Repentance had been greatly reduced, it might even disappear completely in the future. However, there were still stocks from before. The Stone of Repentance was very expensive now, but at least it could still be obtained. The Stone of Repentance was only targeted at ghosts who died unjustly or had resentment. It prevented them from becoming an unconscious malicious spirit.
As for the Stone of Repentance, depending on the sins of the body, one could completely wash away the sins of the body and prevent the Tower of Hell from pulling them over.
That's right, the Tower of Hell had begun to operate on its own. In the past, some people relied on their cultivation or special concealment techniques to get away with it and not be pulled in. However, it was useless now. After the changes here, some people had unknowingly disappeared. The last place where they disappeared had the aura of the Tower of Hell. How could those people not be afraid?
However, not many people were pulled into the Tower of Hell. Most of them were sweeping away the wandering souls who had completely turned into malicious spirits. As long as they used the Stone of Repentance, even if it took the worst three stones to completely wash away their sins, as long as they consumed one, they would be able to wash away at least half of their sins.
However, here came the problem. The Stone of Repentance was extremely rare. Moreover, no one knew where it was produced. Some people found it in the wilderness, some found it in the mountains, and some even found it in their own courtyard. It was as if these things appeared out of thin air. Moreover, they didn't have any aura. If it wasn't for the pure light that made them extremely conspicuous in this place, with their size, one wouldn't even notice them if they stepped on them.
Some people guessed that these things should be something that was brewing in the underworld. Perhaps because they weren't careful enough, some things were leaked and left behind in the underworld.
In any case, the Stone of Repentance was effective against vengeful spirits. However, no one would be foolish enough to let ordinary vengeful spirits eat them. Some people even wanted to gather more and sacrifice themselves to enter the Tower of Hell to rescue their victims. Just the thought of it was frightening. After all, there were many people who roamed the three realms in there.
However, due to the scarcity of the Stone of Repentance, at least at the current stage, no one had collected six at once. Not to mention, if they didn't collect enough Stone of Repentance and were caught in there, they would suffer a double loss. In short, those who had the ability to obtain the Stone of Repentance first would only benefit them.
After all, if they were really reincarnated, it was obvious that they wouldn't have a good ending.
Just now, with just a casual grab, he found that there were at least a dozen Stone of Repentance in the other party's hand. It was like a mountain of gold being carried around by the other party at all times. If he could snatch all of them, his future would be bright. Perhaps he would even take a big step forward as a ghost cultivator.
Of course, he also knew that the Stone of Repentance wouldn't be produced. He still knew the law of the Heavenly Dao. If there was an endless supply of Stone of Repentance, it would be a violation of the law. In fact, the current Stone of Repentance was even rarer than before. It was very likely that the loopholes here would soon be blocked and they would never appear again.
The other party might be in a deserted place and happened to find a place with a big loophole. After accumulating so many Stone of Repentance, it was most likely that the other party would catch them all in one go.
After Sister Feng and Brother Shui briefly discussed the countermeasures, they returned to Yan Fei's position. With his cover, they could at least avoid suspicion. If they killed Yan Fei and chased after him alone, everyone would know that they found a treasure.
"Sister Feng, Brother Shui, don't be depressed. Let the other party run away. We can wait for a few more people. Anyway, it will only take two days."
Before they returned to their positions, Yan Fei comforted them with a smile.
"Absolutely not. No one has dared to humiliate us like this." Brother Shui's face was ashen as he rejected the idea.
"Who dares to humiliate Brother Shui?" Looking at Brother Shui's ugly expression, Yan Fei hurriedly said a few more words. In fact, he was muttering in his heart. The other party was suppressed by you from the beginning to the end. How could they humiliate you?
"They dared!" Sister Feng interrupted from the side. The atmosphere was incomparably tense. "They dared to insult me verbally just now. I really can't take this lying down."
"But the other party has already run away. We can't catch up." Yan Fei sighed very cooperatively.
"The other party can't run away. You forgot the sentry post in front. The other party will definitely pass by there. We have to take the opportunity to go over now. The other party was injured by us. For safety's sake, he will definitely rest for a period of time. We will wait for him there." Brother Shui's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Since Brother Shui has decided, I will definitely follow. What do you need me to do?" Yan Fei naturally didn't know that his every move had fallen into the other party's trap. Therefore, he still took the initiative to speak.
Brother Shui and Sister Feng looked at each other and smiled. Sister Shui said, "When we enter the next city, go and report to the higher-ups. If we can't return in time, don't wait for us. After we take revenge, we will naturally catch up."
"As for you." Brother Shui continued, "After you are done, go to the sentry post to look for us. You know how to find us so that you won't be bullied by them on the way."
If they didn't want others to suspect their actions, they had to bring Yan Fei along. Because he was simple-minded, and more importantly, he didn't keep his mouth shut. Bringing him along was also to monitor them. However, Yan Fei usually knew how to lower his status, so they didn't hate him.
"Okay."
"There's no time to lose. In order to prevent the other party from escaping, we will chase after them first. You be careful on the way."
As soon as Yan Fei spoke, Brother Shui immediately said. Then, he ran away with Sister Feng, leaving him alone.
Yan Fei scratched his head. "I also wanted to tell you that someone seemed to have come and left just now."
Unfortunately, they were long gone. Naturally, they couldn't hear him.
Yan Fei threw this question to the back of his mind and walked away. The other party seemed to be very powerful, but his temper wasn't bad. Moreover, he had left long ago. There shouldn't be any big problems.
