Chapter 1156 Desolate Land
Chapter 1156 Desolate Land
Between heaven and earth, a void shuttle shuttled silently above the clouds. Its streamlined appearance blended perfectly with the floating clouds around it, as if it were part of the sky.
Lu Chen, Li Yue and Yan Feiyu stood on the transparent viewing deck of the shuttle, with an endless sea of clouds beneath their feet and a deep blue sky above their heads.
Since leaving the City Lord's Mansion of Wangchuan Immortal City, Lu Chen and others have been driving the Void Shuttle and speeding eastward.
Suddenly, Lu Chen, who was controlling the Void Shuttle, sneezed without any warning. His body shook involuntarily and he almost lost his balance.
"Huh!" Lu Chen's voice seemed particularly abrupt in this silent space. He touched his nose and said with a confused look on his face: "Strange, is someone talking about me?"
Yunxi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help laughing when she heard this. A sweet laugh broke the silence, and she said jokingly, "Brother Lu, it seems that a beautiful woman is missing you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately scolded angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
However, upon hearing this, Yunxi not only did not restrain herself, but instead stuck out her tongue at Lu Chen.
This scene immediately made the usually serious Li Yue smile.
At this moment, Yan Feiyu raised a serious question: "Lu Chen, what do you think of the place Feng Jingtian mentioned? How credible do you think he is?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately put away his smile and answered without hesitation:
"It's not trust, I can only say let's go and take a look first. After all, the Nine Netherworld he mentioned is not in a specific location, but in a maze formed by countless space cracks.
Only when we get there can we know the specific situation, and then we will act accordingly."
"Well, you're right." Yan Feiyu nodded in agreement, "Since you already have a plan in mind, I'm relieved."
At this time, Li Yue gently patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said, "No matter what is waiting for us ahead, as long as the four of us work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
As the shuttle continued to fly forward, the conversation between the four gradually turned to more in-depth topics, discussing the challenges they were about to face and how to better prepare.
According to the divine sense information provided by Feng Jingtian, Lu Chen learned that the Nine Netherworlds was the entrance to the Earth Realm among the Three Realms.
The three realms refer to: the heavenly realm, the earthly realm, and the human realm.
The so-called heaven is the fairyland.
The underworld, also known as the Hades or the Netherworld, is where the souls of the dead go, and it is full of mystery and eeriness.
There are solemn underworld buildings, such as the Yama Palace, which are managed by the King of Hell, the Judge and other ghost officials.
The underworld has unique operating rules. It is responsible for judging the good and evil of the dead, arranging their reincarnation, and maintaining order in the Yin and Yang worlds.
There are all kinds of ghosts and vengeful spirits in the underworld, which is eerie and terrifying, and it is very dangerous for living people to enter.
However, the land also contains special resources and cultivation methods, attracting the attention of countless powerful people.
Theoretically, the reason why the Nine Netherworld has no fixed location is that after a living being dies, a ghost will tear the space nearby, enter the Nine Netherworld, and then enter the earth through the Nine Netherworld. This is very mysterious.
If the location of the Nine Netherworld is fixed, then after death, it will be very difficult for living beings to enter the Nine Netherworld due to the distance.
A few hours later, Lu Chen and his companions' Void Shuttle landed on a barren land.
Looking around, there are rolling mountains all around, but underneath your feet is an endless expanse of scorched earth.
According to legend, a large-scale battle among monks once took place here, resulting in countless casualties, causing the place to be filled with extremely negative energy.
At this moment, the stars were twinkling in the night sky. As soon as Lu Chen and others landed on this land, they felt uncomfortable and chilly.
"Lu Chen, is this the place Feng Jingtian told you about? Could you be mistaken? There is no space crack here either?"
Yan Feiyu asked as he looked at the desolation around him.
"Yes, it is here, but we still need to wait. As for whether we can wait, it depends on our luck."
Lu Chen said softly, his eyes fixed on the stars that were slowly moving in the sky. They were hungry, the wind, so many imitations, the goose's a gradually formed a mysterious pattern.
Upon seeing this, Liyue and Yunxi looked up at the starry sky, but without knowing the pattern in advance, they didn't see any clues.
At this moment, two figures landed not far away like ghosts.
This sudden change immediately broke the tranquility of the night and interrupted Lu Chen and others' gaze at the starry sky.
Among the two men, one of them was wearing a black robe with golden cloud patterns embroidered on it. These cloud patterns appeared and disappeared as he moved, as if they had life, making the entire black robe look extremely gorgeous and full of oppression.
He had a handsome face, but a bit of arrogance. His lips were slightly raised under his high nose bridge, revealing a half-smile. Between his eyebrows, he revealed an arrogant temperament, as if nothing in the world was worthy of his attention.
The old man next to him was wearing a green robe. Although the color of the robe was not as eye-catching as the black robe, it gave people a light and calm feeling.
The old man's hair was tied into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin. There was a faint scar on his forehead. Although the scar was not obvious, it added a sense of vicissitudes of life to him.
The old man's eyes were deep and sharp, like an abyss of ice that was bottomless, making people dare not look into his eyes.
Every step he took seemed to carry a tremendous force, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly because of his footsteps, showing his profound cultivation.
"It's you?"
Yuan Shizong's voice suddenly sounded, his eyes like a hawk, scanning Lu Chen and others, and finally focusing his gaze on Lu Chen, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Today I want to let you know the price of offending me, Yuan Shizong." His voice was cold and ruthless, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.
That’s right, the young cultivator among the visitors was Yuan Shizong from the Yuan family in Gusu Immortal City.
After suffering a setback in Lingxi Tower, it was not that he did not want to retaliate against Lu Chen and Lin Miaoyin, but because he received a letter from the head of the family via a flying sword, asking him to go to the Netherworld Realm to complete the task assigned by the family.
This is also the reason why the frightened Lu Chen and Lin Miaoyin did not suffer any revenge from beginning to end.
To be honest, when Lu Chen saw Yuan Shizong for the first time, his brows frowned slightly and he was secretly alert.
If it was just Yuan Shizong alone, he might be able to handle it calmly, but the old man beside him made him feel unprecedented pressure.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yuan. We really are destined to meet each other," Lu Chen, who had reacted, immediately said embarrassedly.
"Humph, you ruined my good deeds last time in Gusu Immortal City. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I will really be sorry for this fate."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shizong sneered and pointed his finger at Lu Chen, his tone full of provocation.
Upon seeing this, Liyue and Yunxi immediately moved closer to Lu Chen's sides. Their eyes were firm and alert, and they seemed ready to fight at any time...
