"Hehe...another new face!"

A cold laughter sounded in Ning Qi's ears.

This place seemed to be a temple. Yan Zhibei was standing in front of Ning Qi. As for Xiao Wuchang, he had long since disappeared.

The speaker's face was extremely pale, and when he smiled, his exposed tongue was bright red, as if it was stained with blood!

The most important thing is that the aura on his body is the same as the beast soul controlled by Yan Zhibei and Xiao Wuchang before. This is the smell of the soul.

"Boy, is this your first time in the underworld? Have you never seen a ghost?"

Seeing Ning Qi constantly looking at him, the other party laughed out loud again.

"Underworld?"

Ning Qi's eyes moved slightly.

The place where he appeared was like a temple, with many statues placed there, but the person who spoke was a disembodied soul!

In addition, in the short period of time he appeared, many souls with confused eyes appeared out of thin air. As soon as they appeared, they drifted away outside the temple.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Ning Qi looked at the other party and said lightly.

"I am the guide here, responsible for guiding living souls. When you die in the future, you may come to me, hehe..."

The other party gave a strange laugh.

"Guide?"

Ning Qi's eyes looked slightly strange.

"You living people, don't stay here too long, lest you get angry and bump into those guys who just died. Now that you're in the underworld, go and do your own things. Let's go, let's go!"

The other party waved his sleeves and said.

Ning Qi and Yan Zhibei looked at each other, then strode out of the temple. Outside the temple, there was a barren mountain. Many confused souls gradually regained their clarity, and left in panic or ecstasy.

Go! Only a few souls looked at Ning Qi and Yan Zhibei with glowing green eyes, and licked their lips greedily, but they seemed to feel that Yan Zhibei and Ning Qi were very powerful, so they did not really pounce on them.

.

"You're not scared at all?"

Yan Zhibei looked at Ning Qi, his eyes flickering.

"Why should I be afraid?"

Ning Qi asked with a smile.

Yan Zhibei smiled and said, "This is the underworld. The place where the soul goes after death. You have never known this place before. It is the first time you come in. Are you really not afraid? Have you never thought that you can come here? Maybe

Is he dead too?"

"There are many people in this world who want me to die. Unfortunately, I still can't die, and naturally I won't die here. I guess when you first entered here, you must have been so scared that you peed your pants, right?"

Ning Qi said with a half-smile.

Yan Zhibei's expression changed slightly, as if Ning Qi had guessed what was on his mind.

When he was following Emperor Yan to fight, he accidentally fell into this valley and survived. He accidentally touched the statue and was sucked into the underworld. At that time, he was so scared that he peed his pants!

I thought I was dead.

"snort."

Yan Zhibei snorted coldly and said nothing.

"No wonder it is said that nirvana can be achieved here. This is the underworld. There must be more powerful souls than in the human world. But I am very strange. Living people can freely enter and exit this place through the statues. What about these truly dead people? They are just like this.

Can’t leave the underworld?”

Ning Qi smiled.

"This is a rule. It is impossible for a truly dead person to leave the underworld, because there are four great lords suppressing the underworld. No matter how powerful the soul is, as long as it has the thought of leaving, it will be suppressed! Don't ask me how I know,

These are all people from the underworld back then

My senior told me, believe it or not, only people like us, who are not really dead, can go back and forth through the statue, but you can't go out at any time. You saw the guide just now, but you didn't impress him with anything.

You will be asked to touch the statue."

Yan Zhibei laughed strangely.

The four great sages?

Ning Qi's expression changed. There was indeed a stronger existence here, but he didn't know how strong the venerable Yan Zhibei mentioned was. His cultivation was still suppressed by some mysterious force. Even if this so-called

The underworld has not been able to recover, so the venerable people here should also be subject to this kind of restraint.

Perhaps, this place is the purpose why Old Man Xuanjian asked him to come here?

Ning Qi's thoughts changed and he said calmly: "What are the origins of the four venerables you mentioned, and how are they compared to the powerful Nirvana?"

"You want to know about His Holiness? Haha."

Yan Zhibei chuckled: "This is not a secret. If you stay in the underworld for a few more days, you will know. It is said that when the world first opened, the underworld already existed. The four sages appeared at the same time as the underworld.

Terrifying existences, no one knows whether they are humans or ghosts, but there are rumors that the four venerables are the highest in the underworld, and all souls and humans who enter the underworld are under the jurisdiction of the four venerables."

"However, as far as I know, no one has seen the four venerables. Those who control the underworld for them are the ancestors of the Reincarnation Hall."

"The Palace of Reincarnation..."

Ning Qi's eyes moved. Qi Yao had said before that the old man Xuanjian also met the master of the Reincarnation Hall, but that place must be different from this place, just with the same name? Or did he have other intentions?

Perhaps, only by getting there and seeing what the underworld is made of and the origins of the four venerables can everything become clear.

"Let's go, let's talk as we walk."

Ning Qi smiled.

"Go? Where?"

Yan Zhibei was slightly startled.

"Of course we should go to the Reincarnation Hall to have a look. You said that they are in charge of this place, and they are already here. How can we not pay homage to the mountain?"

Ning Qi smiled.

Yan Zhibei's expression suddenly changed, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, it just so happens that I know the way, so I can send Buddha to the west."

Along the way, Ning Qi asked Yan Zhibei about the underworld again, wanting to verify whether there was any connection between this place and the underworld in his memory. The guy who called himself Xie Bian before had already remembered it.

It’s the name of Bai Wuchang from the underworld!

However, Yan Zhibei's answer was different from Ning Qi's imagination. He seemed to have no idea about the underworld that Ning Qi knew. However, the underworld he mentioned was a place where humans and souls could coexist. As long as humans had

If you come here by chance, you can still survive. If you are lucky enough, you can get the soul-swallowing magic. There are countless souls in the underworld. For soul-swallowing masters, it is simply a holy place!

However, there are benefits but also a price. The souls who come to the underworld are not as pure as the human world. They are all contaminated with the unique atmosphere of the underworld. If they swallow too much, they will be easily possessed and eventually lose their mind. In addition, in the underworld,

Powerful souls can also hunt living people, and the blood essence in living people is of great benefit to them!

Therefore, some powerful masters will make deals with powerful souls in the underworld, using living people in exchange for some powerful, clean and pure souls they control!

"For us spiritual masters, swallowing ordinary souls is useless. It will not allow us to achieve annihilation at all! So we can either choose to trade or hunt for those powerful souls on our own. But, how to remove the impurities in them?

This method is only available to some large sects, such as the Yin Ling Sect."
