Only then did he slowly speak. "All cultivators in the Netherworld will be sent back to their own realms. This place... can no longer keep anyone."
As soon as the male cultivator's words fell, his figure vanished in an instant.
With her facial features restored, Ye Yujun's aura had become even more solid. On closer inspection, she was no different from Lin Qi.
The two spaces began merging into one.
Lin Qi had heard the male cultivator's words clearly.
But before she could fully wake up, she saw Shang Yu's face filled with terror.
Lin Qi asked, "What's wrong?!"
Shang Yu raised her hand and pointed ahead, her fingertips trembling silently.
Following the direction she pointed, Lin Qi saw only that within the already ink-dark night, an even deeper, heavier shade of black was spreading outward.
This blackness was not pure death qi; it was mixed with quite a bit of murky Evil Energy.
Even though there was no major disturbance around them, from such a great distance, both Lin Qi and Shang Yu could sense the terrifying aura of threat coming from within.
"The Netherworld is undergoing a tremendous change!" Shang Yu suddenly said.
Lin Qi told Shang Yu what the male cultivator had told her.
She watched Shang Yu's expression darken bit by bit.
"What? The Nether Sea Earth Dragon? An ancient demon beast that vanished hundreds of thousands of years ago—how could it still be alive?!"
If that thing truly emerged, would there be any living souls left in the Netherworld?
"From what I heard him say, it should be true."
The black aura spread inch by inch. Through the haze, Lin Qi seemed to see a corpse slowly floating up from the depths.
She narrowed her eyes for a closer look, then hurriedly tugged Shang Yu.
