Judging from their auras, the five people in front of him were stronger than anyone else in the hall. They were all Nirvana Realm Perfected Persons.
Lin Zongyao did not dare to be arrogant. He hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "Seniors, what are you here for?"
"You're too polite, King Ruoshui. We're here to see the Heavenly Emperor. May I ask if the Heavenly Emperor is free right now?"
One of the five black-robed experts raised his head and said. His voice was hoarse, and he did not address Lin Zongyao as "Your Majesty" like the others.
Because their Soul Devouring Ghost Sect only had one Majesty, and that was … the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor!
At this moment, Lin Zongyao finally saw the other party's face clearly. His face was haggard, and his face was miserably pale. He was like a dead person, without a trace of blood.
That pair of aged eyes emitted a dim light, giving people a very gloomy feeling, making people feel very uncomfortable.
With just a glance, Lin Zongyao felt a chill all over his body.
Including Wu Sanhan, who was next to him.
"As expected of someone from the Ghost Clan. This aura is so gloomy, it's really unbearable."
Wu Sanhan could not help but mutter in his heart.
These people were not from the Human Clan, but the Ghost Clan. Most of the living beings in the Ghost State were basically from the Ghost Clan.
This clan was different from the Human Clan. They did not have their own physical bodies, but were spiritual bodies. This was somewhat similar to the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
However, the Heavenly Spirit Clan was a pure spirit of heaven and earth. They were favored by the heavens. They were born extraordinary and had extremely strong talent, and could evolve a physical body.
The Ghost Clan was different. They were also spiritual bodies of heaven and earth, but they were resentful spirits. They were formed by the resentment of heaven and earth.
If they wanted to obtain a physical body, they had to reincarnate in someone else's body. In other words, the physical bodies they were using now did not belong to them, but to someone else.
This practice was against the natural order of things.
The existence of the Ghost Clan was not tolerated by heaven and earth. Therefore, not only did this clan not receive the same treatment as the Heavenly Spirit Clan, it was rejected by heaven and earth.
They were born to experience all kinds of tribulations.
For example, the Big Ghost Swallowing the Little Ghost.
However, those who could survive in such a cruel environment were not simple either.
Therefore, although the Ghost Clan was not considered a super clan, there were not many clans in the universe who were willing to provoke them.
After all, no one liked to deal with these gloomy fellows who were filled with the aura of death.
Lin Zongyao was actually unwilling.
However, the other party had come to his door a long time ago, and their influence was so great that he couldn't refuse them.
He could only brace himself and say, "I'm sorry, Seniors. Our Ancestor is currently in seclusion. It's not convenient for him to receive guests now."
"We have something important to discuss with the Sky Emperor. We hope that King Ruoshui can accommodate us."
Another expert from the Ghost Sect spoke.
Compared to the previous one, this one was much younger. He looked like he was only in his twenties.
However, just like the previous person, he still had a dead face.
This was something that even the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor, who had become an Emperor, could not change.
Hearing his words, Lin Zongyao was a little embarrassed. Before Lin Tian went into seclusion, he had repeatedly warned him not to disturb him.
"What's the matter? Can you tell me? When the Ancestor comes out of seclusion, I can help you pass it on."
Lin Zongyao hesitated for a moment, then said. Compared to the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's request, he cared more about Lin Tian's feelings.
Unfortunately, the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect seemed determined to win this time. They shook their heads and said, "I'm sorry, King Ruoshui. It's not that we don't want to tell you, but this matter is of great importance. We can only discuss it with the Sky Emperor."
Hearing this, Lin Zongyao became more and more curious about this matter. However, since the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect refused to tell him, there was nothing he could do.
Just as Lin Zongyao was hesitating whether to tell Lin Tian about this matter, a voice slowly sounded.
"What's the matter? Can you tell me?"
A 'black crow' slowly flew in from outside and gently landed on Wu Sanhan's shoulder.
In that instant, the gloomy coldness in the hall vanished like smoke in thin air. Following it was a sharp aura that could be felt everywhere.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's experts changed slightly, but they quickly calmed down.
"Senior, you must be the Sky Devouring Roc Ancestor who was once famous throughout the Nine Provinces, right?" One of the Ghost Sect's experts cupped his hands and said. He immediately guessed Xiao Hei's identity. It seemed that they knew everything about this place like the back of their hands.
Xiao Hei ignored them and asked, "How is it? What's the matter? Can you tell me now?"
The experts of the Ghost Sect revealed slightly troubled expressions when they heard this. The orders they'd received were that they must inform Lin Tian of everything they knew.
But now, Lin Tian still hadn't appeared.
They didn't know whether they should tell him or not.
After all, as they had said, this matter was really too important. As for what it was exactly, they didn't know, nor did they have the qualifications to know.
However, just like how Lin Zongyao didn't dare to be arrogant in front of them, they didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Xiao Hei, the Demon Ancestor who could be called a legendary figure.
The haggard Ghost Sect's expert who spoke first said respectfully, "Since the Roc Ancestor has asked, we won't hide it from you. I hope that the Roc Ancestor will pass this information to the Heavenly Emperor in a while."
"Mm, sure." Xiao Hei replied indifferently. As for whether he would pass on the message or not, that would depend on whether the information they spoke of was useful or not.
If it wasn't, then there was naturally no need to disturb their young master.
The Ghost Sect's experts didn't know what Xiao Hei was thinking. Seeing that it had agreed, they cleared their throat and paused for a moment as if they were organizing the information they wanted to say.
Finally, they said, "According to my Ghost Sect's Patriarch, the Ghost Gate that rarely appears in ten thousand years will probably open on the seventh day of the seventh month. I, the Patriarch, wish to invite the Heavenly Emperor to explore it together. I hope that the Roc Ancestor can pass on this message to the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible. After all, there's only a month left until the seventh day of the seventh month."
Hearing this, even Xiao Hei's expression changed. It couldn't help but ask, "Ghost Gate? Is that the legendary gate that leads to the underworld? "
"That's right. It's that gate."
The Ghost Sect's expert nodded.
After confirming, Xiao Hei's expression couldn't help but become serious. It couldn't help but ask, "Is the underworld really behind the Ghost Gate?"
Of the ten great forbidden areas in the nine heavens, the underworld was always the most mysterious place. It was even more mysterious than the Immortal Court. After all, there were always people who had seen the Immortal Court before.
As for the underworld, there were only legends about it in the world. There were no records of it. It was the most mysterious of the ten great forbidden areas.
Moreover, it was also the one that people wanted to investigate the most.
Because it was said that the true secret of eternal life was hidden there. As long as one could find the underworld and unravel the final secret, they would know the method to eternal life.
