Chapter 145 Entering the Underworld
“Entrance to the Underworld, living beings keep out!”
“Entrance to Youdu, living beings keep out!”
Seeing the many cultivators rushing over, the Ferryman and the Underworld Messengers spoke simultaneously.
Behind them, the forms of Youdu and the Underworld became increasingly clear.
Under this round moon, people could even hear strange wails coming from these two great places.
Hearing their words, the cultivators of various races hurriedly stopped.
They turned to look behind them. The two Slaughter Gods were still slaughtering madly. One soul after another soared into the sky, heading towards Youdu and the Underworld under the guidance of the Ferryman and the Underworld Messengers.
“Damn it! All the paths here have disappeared, leaving only death!”
Motianyi’s expression was solemn. Fortunately, there were many people who came, and the weaker ones briefly delayed the Slaughter Gods’ attack.
He looked deeply towards Youdu and the Underworld, then turned to the others and said, “Everyone, although these three seniors are stopping us,”
“They are only stopping us verbally, without any actual action. They are only here to summon the dead.”
Nearby, Arya said in surprise, “Are you saying we should enter Youdu or the Underworld? That is a territory we have never set foot in.”
“Do we have a choice?” Motianyi asked, turning to look at the Slaughter Gods behind him. Their killing made him feel terrified.
“Staying here, in this maze-like prison, will only lead to being killed by those two powerful Slaughter Gods!”
“If we enter Youdu or the Underworld together, we will have each other to look after.”
Under the threat of death, Motianyi mustered his courage and asked the Underworld Messengers, “Seniors, if living beings enter Youdu or the Underworld, what will be the consequences?”
One of the old men in a straw raincoat said expressionlessly, “Living beings entering the Underworld is a violation of the rules, but if you have enough strength, King Yama will not care about you.”
“However, I must remind you that both Youdu next door and our Underworld have many powerful beings.”
The old man in the straw raincoat pointed to Holy Lord Yanhuang behind the crowd and said, “Although that fellow is incomparably strong among you, like an invincible existence, he is not even ranked in our Underworld.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
“What? These two Slaughter Gods are so powerful, yet they are not even ranked in the Underworld? Wouldn’t we be courting death if we entered?”
“Damn! I was careless. I knew I shouldn’t have come to this ghostly place. I haven’t seen any treasures, and death is not far away.”
“Heh heh, didn’t you find a lot of Spirit Gathering Grass just now? Why don’t you swallow it all? At least you’ll be a well-fed ghost.”
Motianyi shouted, “Enough!”
“If you continue to argue, then stay here and wait for death!”
He quickly scanned the crowd and said, “A place that can hold so many souls will naturally not be small.”
“As the saying goes, opportunities and dangers go hand in hand. There may be great resources in the Underworld, otherwise, how could so many strong people be cultivated?”
Motianyi urged everyone to make a decision quickly.
Either stay here and wait for death.
Or enter the unknown world together!
Motianyi didn’t believe that the Underworld was so vast that they would directly encounter enemies stronger than these two Slaughter Gods after entering.
The reason he chose the Underworld was because there were records of the Underworld in the myths and legends of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Although there were some records of Youdu, the content was relatively scarce after all.
Seconds ticked by, and everyone quickly made a decision.
“Damn it, the worst that can happen is death! I might as well venture into the Underworld! I don’t believe in this evil!”
“That’s right! This Underworld is the place to receive souls. Aren’t we going to die anyway? Entering the Underworld earlier, even if we die after a day, it’s considered exploring the path in advance.”
“What a great advance exploration! If we cooperate, we can even shake a true god. What are we afraid of?”
After everyone expressed their opinions, Motianyi cleared his throat and took the lead to rush over.
As he expected, the Underworld Messenger did not directly stop him, but still said, “Entrance to the Underworld, living beings keep out.”
Everyone quickly followed behind Motianyi, fearing that they would be one step late and become separated from the main force.
In an instant, a dense crowd of people rushed into the Underworld.
“Damn it, you Underworld people really know how to recruit people.”
The masked Ferryman cursed, then slowly said, “The reception of the dead is almost complete. It’s time to close the entrance to Youdu.”
The Underworld Messenger smiled and looked towards Linning’s direction, saying, “Isn’t there still one more?”
“Do you dare to accept him? I remember that our Youdu doesn’t have a portrait of this person.” The Ferryman said with a smile.
The Underworld Messenger shook his head, “We didn’t receive his portrait either. I don’t dare to accept him randomly. King Yama will hold me accountable.”
On the other side, Linning quietly watched Holy Lord Yanhuang.
Besides Linning, there was no one else’s aura in this forest.
After Holy Lord Yanhuang and his wife no longer sensed the aura of those fresh blood, they stopped attacking and their figures dissipated, as if they had never appeared.
“Have they become the guardians here?” Linning didn’t know what to say for a moment. He really wanted to help his senior sister find the secret.
Holy Lord Yanhuang was so powerful, why would he eventually become a guardian without any consciousness?
“They have no consciousness at all, and they don’t seem to have souls either.”
Linning turned to look at the two Underworld Messengers in straw raincoats and the masked Ferryman, and pondered, “If they are already dead, then their souls will enter Youdu or the Underworld.”
“Since there is no exit here anyway, I might as well go in and help my senior sister find their souls.”
With that, Linning’s figure flashed and entered the Underworld.
“Damn! How did he get in too!”
The Underworld Messenger couldn’t help but curse, “You saw it, he broke in himself, I didn’t hook his soul!”
“It’s useless to tell me! I came here with you. When King Yama questions us, I won’t be able to escape either!” The Underworld Messenger said helplessly.
Turning to look at the Ferryman next to him, he said, “Buddy, if something happens to us, can you please help us testify?”
“He ran in himself, it has nothing to do with us!”
The two Underworld Messengers smiled miserably. King Yama sent them here only to guide the souls of the dead.
“Hey, I haven’t met you. I’m just a Ferryman, from Youdu, not the Underworld.”
The Ferryman quickly turned his back and admired the moon, “The moon is very round today.”
“Huh? What was that sound just now? Was it a dog barking?”
“I think I must have been working for too long, so I’m hallucinating. I have to ask Lord Earth for a leave so I can rest properly.”
“Hey, I’m getting old after all. I hope a new Ferryman will be born in the near future to do this job for me.”
On the other side.
