Seeing the old man suddenly appear, Zi Yuan immediately became vigilant. Xiao Chen raised his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to be nervous.

Patriarch Guiyin’s expression was cold. Although he had long heard of Xiao Chen and knew of his identity, seeing him with his own eyes made his heart skip a beat. He couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder Impermanence died at his hands. Even he couldn’t see through his cultivation level … How could he blame anyone else?

After a while, he said coldly, “I’m afraid of the future. I think the Lord of Lustless Heaven already knows who this old man is.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Who doesn’t know the Master of Ghost Yin Mountain?”

Hearing this, Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered that this person was Patriarch Guiyin. When Patriarch Guiyin went to Lustless Heaven that day, she and Bai Luan had already left Lustless Heaven, and she had received news from the other Lustless Heaven sisters in Night Shade.

At this moment, Patriarch Guiyin’s expression was gloomy. Actually, when Yin Wuchang hurriedly called that night, he knew that the matter would not be that simple. Yin Wuchang must have concealed something from him. However, he did not expect Yin Wuchang to conceal it so deeply. Otherwise, he would not have let Yin Wuchang return to Taiyin Palace alone.

In the end, all of this was Yin Wuchang’s own calamity. Even if he couldn’t overcome it, he couldn’t blame anyone else. Fortunately, he died at the hands of this person in front of him. If he died at the hands of the people from the Heavenless Palace, most likely, he wouldn’t even be able to retain his soul.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Guiyin couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart. This was Yin Wuchang’s fate. He couldn’t blame the person in front of him. He said, “In the past, it was my disciple who took the blame. Now that he has died, I hope that you can return his soul to me and allow me to cast a spell for his reincarnation.”

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen looked at him and his gaze turned ice-cold. “Senior, do you know how many people he killed in Lustless Heaven that day …”

Hearing this, Patriarch Guiyin’s brows furrowed even deeper. He said, “If a person dies like a lamp, then the sins of the past should be eliminated. With the methods you used to kill him that night, I believe that no matter how capable I am, it will be difficult for me to revive him. Since that is the case, what resentment do you have in your heart?”

“Forget it …”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. Tai Yinsi’s soul was somewhat abnormal. Even though it was imprisoned by his soul forbidden technique that night, he was unable to refine it like Yun Tianzi and Lu Yan. It was useless to stay by his side. In the end, this person was only used by the rest of Heavenless Palace.

After a while, I heard him say, “It’s not difficult for you to retrieve this person’s soul. I have to leave Acheron Valley.”

Hearing this, Patriarch Guiyin’s eyes narrowed. With his sophistication, how could he not hear what Xiao Chen was saying? He only nodded his head and said, “Alright, I only hope that you will keep your word.”

Zi Yuan noticed that Excellency had said that he could borrow this person to leave. He thought that there must be someone from Heavenless Palace setting up an ambush outside. Patriarch Guiyin’s cultivation was extremely high. In order to retrieve his disciple’s soul, he would definitely offend Heavenless Palace.

Even if Heavenless Palace knew, there was nothing he could do to retrieve his disciple’s soul.

“It will take six to seven days to reach the end of the tide, and three to four days to reach the end of the tide. Senior Gui Yin, please.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently. He raised his hand and Patriarch Guiyin did not hesitate. The three of them immediately left.

Three days later, the three of them were still in the depths of Acheron Valley, unable to leave. This time, the tide seemed to be a few days shorter than before, and the aura of the Underworld had begun to envelop the earth again.

Countless people came to Acheron Valley this time. A few days ago, many people had already started to leave. Most of the people who were still inside were greedy for the treasures here, so they still stayed in the depths of Acheron Valley to search for them. When the aura of the Underworld enveloped them today, it was already too late to escape.

The aura of the Nether Realm quickly surged up like a tide. It was extremely fast. Even if he flew with his sword, he might not be able to escape. Once he was sucked into it, his internal organs would soon be corroded. In the end, his soul might be able to escape, but his chances of escaping were not high.

“Quick!”

Patriarch Guiyin used the [Subduing Ghost Technique] and saw a few [Ghost Shadows] around him, which made his speed reach its limit.

Xiao Chen had already used Ling Xian Step to his limit. However, the restrictions here were very heavy, and even Patriarch Guiyin’s divine ability, Escape Technique, could not be used. His instant steps were most likely useless.

Although the three of them were already extremely fast, they could still feel the nether world aura coming closer and closer.

“Your Excellency!”

Right at this moment, Zi Yuan’s face suddenly turned deathly pale, and her expression seemed to become rather anxious. Xiao Chen looked at her and asked with a frown, “What’s wrong?”

Zi Yuan said in a trembling voice, “Just now, I just received a spiritual message from my sister … They came in and are trapped in a valley in the northeast.”

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows narrowed. He thought that it must be because he and Zi Yuan had fallen into the Little Nether before that Bai Luan brought people in to search for them. Now, they were most likely trapped by the aura of the Nether Realm.

“Senior?”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen did not hesitate and immediately looked at Patriarch Guiyin. Obviously, he had to save someone.

Patriarch Guiyin furrowed his brows and said, “The aura of the Underworld will soon envelop us. No one will be able to block the aura of the Underworld after the tide. At that time, neither of us will be able to block it.”

“I have to save someone.”

Xiao Chen was resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Patriarch Guiyin shook his head and sighed, “Forget it” At the end of his sentence, he took out a black ghost talisman and asked Zi Yuan, “Probably.”

Zi Yuan hurriedly said, “About three thousand li to the northeast.”

Hearing this, Patriarch Guiyin no longer hesitated. He bit his finger and drew a few talisman marks on the ghost talisman. Immediately after, a bloody light flashed and enveloped the three of them. In an instant, they disappeared from the spot.

When the scene in front of him became clear again, it was already the valley that Zi Yuan had just mentioned. Xiao Chen could sense the aura of Bai Luan and the others here, but at the same time, he could also deeply sense the aura of the Underworld.

“Over there!”

Zi Yuan suddenly cried out in alarm, pointing to a mountain valley in the distance. She saw layers of black gas enveloping the valley. Obviously, it was an extremely heavy aura of the Underworld. No one in the mortal world could approach it.

“Zi Yuan, stay here with Senior Gui Yin.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his Ling Xian Step and went into the valley. Zi Yuan came back to his senses. Just as he wanted to stop him, he saw that his figure had already disappeared into the layers of Nether Realm aura.

This time, even Patriarch Guiyin was stunned. Does this person really have the ability to not even fear the aura of the Underworld?

In the depths of the valley, there was no aura of the Underworld yet. When Xiao Chen entered, he saw Bai Luan and the others. Naturally, Bai Luan and the others also saw him.

“Your Excellency!”

There were five people outside the cave, including Bai Luan. This time, there were a total of twelve people from Night Shade. The remaining six people were outside Acheron Valley.

“Let’s go.”

Before Xiao Chen could say anything else, he immediately had a few people follow behind him and rushed out of the layers of Underworld Qi with them.

Outside, Zi Yuan finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he, Bai Luan, and the others were fine. At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled. The terrifying aura of the Underworld that they had just come from surged like a tide. Apart from the direction they had just come from, there were also auras of the Underworld that surged from the other two directions. They were as tall as mountains. They vowed to swallow this place up.

“Let’s go!”

Patriarch Guiyin shouted. However, he was no longer able to use the second “Ghost Escape” technique. The direction he came from was also locked by the aura of the Underworld. They were unable to return the same way and could only walk on the other side. However, who knew where the other side was leading to? In the end, even Patriarch Guiyin had never been to Acheron Valley a few times.

…

One day had passed. By this afternoon, the aura of the Underworld had already enveloped the entire Acheron Valley. Everyone who should have come out had already come out. Those who were unable to come out would probably never come out.

No one expected the aura of the Underworld to be so heavy this time. Fortunately, they came out a few days earlier. Otherwise, they would most likely die inside.

At this moment, ten thousand heads were gathered at the entrance of the valley, and there were still quite a few people gathered. They were densely packed and scattered all over the place.

Everyone looked at the valley. A few hours ago, there were still people coming out one after another. However, most of them had already been corroded by the aura of the Underworld. By now, it should be impossible for anyone to come out of the valley.

Previously, Baimei Shangren, Fairy Red Butterfly, and the others had naturally already come out from inside. They knew the dangers inside better than anyone else, so they were almost the first to come out.

At this moment, on a mountain peak, Fairy Red Butterfly had a graceful bearing. She stared at the valley shrouded in the aura of the Underworld without saying a word. She could not sense Xiao Chen’s aura. Could it be that he was unable to come out from inside?

Even though they had only met by chance and were only cooperating temporarily, she and Xiao Chen had entered together before. If the other party died inside, she would feel somewhat desolate.

On the other side of the mountain peak, there was also a person who stared at the valley without saying a word. That person’s clothes were fluttering and his immortal energy was indifferent. It was Xiao Meng’er.

Beside her, there was an old man dressed in Qingyi. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his cultivation seemed to be unfathomable. He was none other than the Fifth Elder of Xiao Clan, Xiao Qinghe.

At this moment, Xiao Meng’er seemed to be calm, but in reality, her thoughts were somewhat complicated. On the one hand, she was thinking that Xiao Chen might have died inside, and if he died, he would have died as well. On the other hand, she was thinking that it was the other party who had blocked those people for her that day.

It was precisely this complicated emotion that caused the space between her eyebrows to gradually tighten. At this moment, she had probably already guessed Xiao Chen’s identity.

Another two hours passed. Twilight was slowly approaching. There was still no one coming out of the valley. Everyone was finally certain that no one would come out again.

Just as some people were about to turn around and leave, the aura of the Underworld within the valley suddenly surged. Immediately after, a powerful and suffocating aura quickly rushed towards the outside.
