The Underworld Ghost Realm

In Ji Lingyun's Cave Abode headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect Headquarters.

Ji Lingyun was receiving Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, who had just been invited by the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"What important matter brings you here today, Sword Ancestor?"

As she ordered tea to be served to Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan, she asked rather casually, "Where's our Jinyao? Hasn't she become your shadow? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"One of the reasons I came here is for this."

Bai Qiuran picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea from the Heavenly Demon Sect was of very average taste, probably because the disciples were all more fond of alcohol and didn't care much about this aspect.

"Miss Li is in seclusion in Eastern Isles and will not be returning for the time being."

"She's gone into seclusion again, that brat."

Ji Lingyun muttered, "Ah, never mind, she's all grown up now, let her do whatever she wants, I can't control her anymore."

"You're agreeing to this?"

Bai Qiuran somewhat surprised.

"What else can I do if she doesn't agree? Go to Fusang and ask her to come back? Once she comes out of seclusion this time, I reckon I won't be a match for her, okay?"

Ji Lingyun sighed, "That girl won't hold back against me. I never held back against my master when we sparred before."

"As expected of the oldest and most prestigious Demon Sect."

Bai Qiuran said admiringly, "The custom of betraying one's master and ancestors is passed down from generation to generation."

"Whose fault do you think it is that Jinyao is so disobedient?"

Ji Lingyun glared at Bai Qiuran in annoyance.

"You shouldn't have let her meet you in the first place."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Bai Qiuran was completely baffled.

Seeing his expression, Ji Lingyun shook her head, then turned to Jiang Lan and asked, "So, Sword Ancestor, who is this young lady?"

"Oh, this is my wife, Jiang Lan."

Bai Qiuran explained.

"What? Wife?"

Ji Lingyun was about to lash out, but when she saw Bai Qiuran's face after drawing her Twin Sabers halfway, she suddenly realized that she probably couldn't beat him.

Her expression changed, and she had no choice but to sheath her Twin Sabers.

"You heartless bastard!"

She Bai Qiuran.

"Sigh, what's wrong with me now?"

Bai Qiuran's expression became even more confused.

"Never mind."

Ji Lingyun sighed, "Let that girl do whatever she wants, I can't control her anymore... So, Sword Ancestor, is there anything else you need here? If not, then Ji Lingyun will see you out."

She seemed to be in a bad mood, but Bai Qiuran indeed have an important matter to attend to here.

"Sect Master Ji, I heard that Huangfu Feng has returned from his campaign against the Demon Monster."

Bai Qiuran asked her, "Was the Demon Monster's corpse left behind?"

"They stayed."

Ji Lingyun suppressed her anger and replied, "Master brought it back to the sect, and the disciples are currently studying its anatomy."

"May I have Bai look?"

Ji Lingyun didn't speak, but instead summoned a disciple and had him lead Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan to the location of the corpses.

The Demon Monster's corpse was enormous, piled up on a small platform inside the Heavenly Demon Sect's gate, leaning against the mountain wall, looking like a small mountain.

It has a blue face and fangs, three heads and six arms, yet it exudes a sense of majesty. It is bare-chested, and holds a pair of Sun and Moon Wheel in its two arms.

Several disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood to the side, measuring various data of the corpse. Huangfu Feng also stood to the side. When he saw Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan coming over, he walked over and greeted the two of them.

"Yo, Sword Ancestor, coming over for a visit? And who is this young lady?"

"My wife."

Bai Qiuran replied.

"Oh."

Huangfu Feng was slightly surprised, but his thinking was similar to Bai Qiuran's in some ways, so he simply greeted Jiang Lan and did not make a fuss like Ji Lingyun and You Meiqiao.

"Is this the Demon Monster you killed?"

Bai Qiuran looked at the corpse and asked.

"Yes."

At this point, Huangfu Feng revealed a hearty smile.

"Don't underestimate this Demon Monster; it's quite powerful. It even possesses some very unique Divine Ability. It took me a lot of effort to kill it... But I just don't know where this Demon Monster came from. I've never seen this type before in the entire Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

"These are not Ghosts from the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

The Wisdom Immortal on Bai Qiuran's belt fluttered up and looked at the corpse lying on the ground, saying, "This is an Asura."

"Okay."

Bai Qiuran sighed, "My fears have come true."

"Well."

Huangfu Feng scratched his head.

"Asura is... that Asura?"

"That's right. The demonic statues of your Heavenly Demon Sect are formless, and the Demon God forms you Visualization are largely Spiritual Sense by creatures like the Asura."

Wisdom Immortal circled in the air once, then explained, "This is a creature that lives in a subordinate world of the Ghost Realm. It can be reincarnated from a human Souls and is extremely warlike."

Why would creatures from the Ghost Realm come to our side?

Huangfu Feng was puzzled.

"How would I know? Only when you go to the Ghost Realm will you know."

Wisdom Immortal landed back on Bai Qiuran's belt, and Bai Qiuran said to Huangfu Feng, "That's it. Please inform the various sects in the Demonic Sect Alliance, and also inform the Righteous Path Alliance that ghost stories are likely to continue to occur in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou recently. Ask them to send disciples to patrol and be on high alert."

"I know."

Huangfu Feng nodded, then looked at Bai Qiuran, who was preparing to leave with Jiang Lan, and asked, "Where does Sword Ancestor intend to go?"

"Let's take a trip to the Underworld Ghost Realm."

Bai Qiuran replied, "We can't let the Order life and death continue to be in chaos. If they need help, I'll lend them a hand."

The two left the Heavenly Demon Sect and then prepared to head towards the Underworld Ghost Realm.

The way to the Underworld Ghost Realm was not difficult for the two of them. Not to mention Jiang Lan's cultivation and knowledge, even the former Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode had a direct Teleportation method to the Underworld Ghost Realm.

Not to mention Bai Qiuran, who personally created and shaped the Ghost Realm itself.

The coordinates of the Ghost Realm in the Void were still vivid in Bai Qiuran's mind.

To avoid trouble, the two went to a deserted Wilderness, where Bai Qiuran drew her sword and cleaved open a spatial rift leading to the Ghost Realm.

As soon as the rift opened, several Vengeful Ghost howled and prepared to rush out. Bai Qiuran scattered these ghosts with a palm strike, and then led Jiang Lan and Wisdom Immortal across the rift, arriving in the Underworld Ghost Realm more than 300,000 years later.

The sky remained gloomy and dim, with a faint red glow that barely illuminated the earth. The two were situated on the riverbank of the Styx, where countless ghosts wandered.

There are certain rules governing this Heaven and Earth that suppress the ghosts' ability to fly and move freely, forcing them to stay on this riverbank.

"I didn't see Underworld Emissary nearby."

Faced with these manifested ghosts, Jiang Lan remained calm and composed. She looked around and said to Bai Qiuran, "Logically, there should be several Underworld Emissary on this riverbank responsible for maintaining Order, but we haven't seen any."

Bai Qiuran glanced around and then said, "Let's move forward first."
