Daily Life After Transforming into the Netherworld
"An old friend?"
In the misty, hazy Wraith Fog, Lingzhou Yue frowned, as if he could smell the scent of a beautiful woman.
But she has principles when it comes to picking up girls; she's not the type who can't resist a beautiful woman.
She always keeps beautiful women with impure motives at arm's length.
"I have too many old friends, I've never heard your voice before."
The soft female voice carried a hint of resentment.
"Isn't that a bit too cold-hearted, Elder Lingzhou? Do you not remember the women you've rejected?"
Lingzhou Yue was taken aback, not understanding the logic.
"Whether you reject them or not, a person goes through so many women in a year, can you remember them all? If you can remember three in your lifetime, that's enough."
A delicate female voice chuckled, her laughter shimmering with a captivating charm that made the flowers tremble.
"As expected of the legendary free spirit, even I, an old senior, have to admit defeat."
Seeing that the other party was pulling and tugging, and that Lingzhou Yue could not break through the fog, she simply sat cross-legged on the ground and drank wine with her head tilted back.
Who are you?
The soft female voice suddenly became calm:
"Let me introduce myself. I Black Zither, the former Supreme Elder of the Joyous Union Sect and now the Apostle High Priest."
The Joyous Union Sect? Lingzhou Yue nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
She knew a friend who used to be a prodigy of the Joyous Union Sect.
Unfortunately, this sect was annexed by the Saint Demon Sect more than 700 years ago, and the profound secrets of the Joyful Union Technique were lost, which is a great loss to the Cultivation World.
As for this High Priestess of the Black Zither, Lingzhou Yue felt as if she had heard of her deeds somewhere before, but she was not sure if it was accurate.
"You should have said so earlier. You didn't need to try to pull this on me. This name is someone important. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before... Were you the Gu Huizi of the Dao Alliance last time?"
The gentle female voice remained calm.
"As a senior, being mentioned by juniors as if they've heard of you somewhere is not considered a sign of status. On the other hand, even though Li Wuxie's Cultivation Level has dropped to the Nascent Soul, he is still known to everyone."
How did this topic get to Li Wuxie?
Li Wuxie was guarding outside the Netherworld. Was this woman trying to trick her into revealing information? Lingzhou Yue remained calm and composed.
"Did you need something from me?"
A soft female voice said, "Li Wuxie is famous for his divine swordsmanship. Even if his Cultivation Level the Nascent Soul, he can use his Lifebound Sword Boundless Innocence to recover to his peak sword power in a short time. Right now, he is guarding outside the Netherworld and is about to go crazy. If he strikes down, even if he controls it with perfect precision, at least half of the three million citizens of Flamefree City will die."
Could Li Wuxie, in his weakened state, still experience a brief resurgence of energy?
How could you, living in the underworld, know what's happening outside?
Lingzhou Yue had some doubts.
"So you've come to beg for peace?"
"I guess so."
The soft female voice was very crisp.
"How about this: let the National Teacher and your precious disciple fight over the ownership of the stone tablet, and we, as elders, can just watch from the sidelines and have a chat. What do you say?"
Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly and took a sip of warm wine.
"I only have Qi Refining Cultivation Level, are you afraid of me?"
The soft female voice said coldly, "You are more terrifying than Li Wuxie when you get reckless. If you and I fight, many people in Flamefree City will die. If you agree to make peace and let the Apostle get the inscription, I will not harm a single person in the city."
You're overthinking it.
Lingzhou Yue said indifferently.
"I came to see my apprentice's performance. I didn't intend to make a move, but I can't control him. You can do whatever you want. I won't believe a word the villain says. I'll just watch you quietly."
Her words were very clear.
Peace is limited to her and her.
She didn't care about the lives of ordinary people; that was up to Xiao Ran.
The soft female voice had no objection, only asking:
"Your apprentice is quite extraordinary. Where did you find him? Does he come from an unknown place like you?"
Lingzhou Yue drank heavily, his face showing disdain.
"With a narrow perspective, one cannot know anything."
A soft female voice laughed:
"As expected of Lingzhou Yue, who is famous in the Cultivation World, she is still very domineering even when she is imprisoned."
Lingzhou Yue gave a cold laugh.
"If you could use your full strength, would you still be trying to get close to me?"
The delicate female voice fell silent.
Lingzhou Yue only cared about drinking.
At such close range, the Bone of the Blood Moon could probably sense Xiao Ran's combat status.
This woman is no ordinary person; her rank and strength far surpass those of the National Teacher. It's quite remarkable that she can temporarily control an enemy general without doing anything.
If she were to unleash the Tidal Power to breach the wall, she wouldn't be able to control it perfectly, and many people would still die.
We can only wait and see how Xiao Ran performs.
Beside the stone platform.
Xiao Ran saw that his Master was trapped by the Wraith Fog.
It doesn't seem to be the National Teacher who did it.
Not only is the Master Mist Wraith Fog Master, but the Wraith Fog within the maze is also increasing.
Have Primate arrived yet?
Was it located by following the Wraith Fog within the National Teacher's body?
Xiao Ran sighed. Sure enough, it was thanks to him that the inscription was found so quickly.
In the end, he shouldered everything alone.
Without him, even under ideal conditions, it would take Primate at least two days to find their way to the center of the maze.
This is what she said herself in the Black Ring Group!
He saw that his Master was safe for the time being.
The enemy is not so merciful.
He speculated that the Primate primates might not even be in the underworld, otherwise things wouldn't be like this now.
However, large amounts of Wraith Fog are entering the labyrinth in droves.
Xiao Ran had a bad feeling.
We must finish this quickly! The National Teacher stood with his hands behind his back, facing Xiao Ran directly, his large, imposing belly protruding, and began to preach.
"You and I are not enemies, there is no need for us to fight. My identity is that of a low-ranking Apostle. My purpose is only to reduce the suffering of people who are trapped in despair before they leave. If humanity can work together and manage to control the Apostle, it is also a new way of survival. Even if we fail, leaving peacefully and entering the Land of Ultimate Bliss is much better than dying miserably in despair, right?"
Xiao Ran thought for a moment.
If a person merges with the Wraith, they will ultimately become the Wraith. Even if they are human souls, when they meet, they will stare at each other, touch each other's limbs, shake hands, and exchange suckers...
It's disgusting to even think about.
"I still can't let you go!" Xiao Ran decisively drew his sword.
The Wraith Fog has the effect of absorbing spiritual energy, so Xiao Ran can only get close to it.
With a sudden jolt, he drew his sword and slashed.
He slashed at the National Teacher with his sword.
The National Teacher, with his pregnant belly, remained unmoved, and with a flick of his sleeve, unleashed a burst of Primal Chaos Sword Qi.
The sword energy was as fast as the wind, and it directly wrapped around Xiao Ran in mid-air, spiraling and accelerating around his body, quickly turning into a hurricane of sword energy.
The sword energy hurricane shot up into the sky and down into the floor, completely enveloping Xiao Ran.
The essence of the Primal Chaos Sword Qi is Wraith Fog. Thousands upon thousands of Wraith Fog sword blades slowly tore at Xiao Ran's body, drawing his Spiritual Power along the cracked skin.
Xiao Ran was surrounded by darkness, and his body spun around. If it weren't for the Art of Resonance anchoring his spatial position, he would have long lost his sense of direction and location.
In this situation, he cannot easily use his Spiritual Power, otherwise the loss would be too great, and even the chance of replenishing his spiritual power with pills would be very slim.
Ordinary pills were digested by the Wraith Fog as soon as they were taken out, before they even entered the mouth.
He had underestimated the National Teacher! Surrounded by sword energy, he could still faintly hear the voice of the National Teacher from outside the sword energy field.
"Perhaps you will be much stronger than me in the future, but right now, a Golden Core is a Golden Core and Qi Refining is Qi Refining. This is an insurmountable gap."
"Moreover, as Apostle, I possess the power of the Wraith Fog, making me far stronger than an ordinary Golden Core cultivator."
"Within the Primal Chaos Sword Qi composed of the Wraith Fog, you will soon turn into a pool of blood."
This is a perfect opportunity for extensive commentary! This villain actually has some brains.
Xiao Ran felt a chill run down his spine.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a transmigrator with many advantages, his will would have been worn down by just a few words.
His physical body was under tremendous pressure and was on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, the Flood Dragon Pill protected his Dantian and his Qi Sea was very stable.
It must be said that, in terms of prolonged combat, this Primordial Sword Primal Chaos Sword Qi formed from the Wraith Fog is truly formidable.
He had no intention of using the Bone of the Blood Moon to put his Master in danger; nor did he intend to use his Senior Uncle's Blood Burst Pill to deal with such a nobody.
The Resonance Power cannot penetrate the Wraith Fog.
The second-order Resonance Power consumes and releases Spiritual Power, while the Wraith Fog draws Spiritual Power from it...
Therefore, he only has one chance at most! He showed slight weakness.
With the dragon gate loosened, the Wraith Fog entered his body, allowing the Pill Wall to be attacked by the Wraith Fog Sword Qi, resisting only with the Resonance Power.
This final act of stubbornness and struggle is vividly portrayed.
His Spiritual Pressure grew weaker and weaker...
But he's still alive!
The National Teacher frowned slightly, then suddenly took a jolt and slowly approached the Wraith Fog to observe.
"He's still alive?"
The National Teacher suddenly sighed and said, "You are indeed a genius. I will give you a chance. As long as you join me Apostle and save this corrupt world, the three million citizens will be safe—"
Before he could finish speaking, the Primal Chaos Sword Qi suddenly trembled, and a large hand covered in blood reached out from it.
Suddenly, he grabbed the National Teacher's forehead! "Shock!"
