Chapter 273 Outdated Information 2200/3400

Inside the underground palace, the light was bright and there was no gloom.

The jewels and gems made this water palace under the river look extremely beautiful.

Shen Wuyou sat in the side hall somewhat restrainedly, looking at everything around him, curious and nervous.

Everything in front of him was full of novelty to him.

The huge treasure hanging on the dome released soft and bright light, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

The schools of fish swimming outside the palace were even more cute and beautiful in different colors.

Even the aquatic maids standing in the palace, although they still had various characteristics of aquatic creatures, such as fish scales or fins, were all charming, cute, playful and lively.

So many beautiful sisters looked at him, making him very embarrassed and cramped, and even the various delicacies on the small table in front of him were difficult to eat.

On the other hand, Xiao Ai, who was standing aside, had a cold expression, sitting calmly, tasting the dishes on the small table in front of him in small bites, and even asked the maids around him from time to time, asking how this thing was made.

As for Gu Yan… Gu Yan, who has not yet transformed, doesn’t have many memories of the Water Palace. After all, although he has lived in the Water Palace for more than 60 years, he is still confused and has already reached Hanyu Mountain when he opened his spiritual wisdom.

For Gu Yan, Hanyu Mountain is actually more like his hometown.

But after all, it is also a place where he has lived for more than 60 years. Even if he can’t remember much, he won’t feel restrained now.

However, Gu Yan can make a fuss, Xiao Ai can be calm, but Shen Wuyou is always cramped.

For him, Lu Heng is now his only support.

Now that Lu Heng has left with the Goddess Jiang, Shen Wuyou is uneasy.

He carefully approached Xiao Ai and whispered, "Sister Xiao Ai, what did Daddy and Goddess Jiang go to do? Why haven’t they come back yet..."

The little boy was restless.

Xiao Ai glanced at him and said, "Of course it’s something important... What? Are you afraid of this place?"

The little boy nodded and whispered hurriedly while there was no maid around.

"I... I heard from my mother that there is a big monster in the Pangjiang River. It is an extremely ferocious Gu Diao. It leads the water tribes in the river to occupy one side. No one dares to provoke it, so we didn't dare to approach the Pangjiang River before... Could that big monster be the Jiang Shen Niangniang?"

The little boy asked worriedly, causing Xiao Ai to pause slightly.

Then he turned his head and looked at the little boy beside him, saying, "Are you sure your mother told you so?"

"Yeah," the little boy nodded repeatedly, then looked around with some fear, and whispered, "Will Daddy be taken away and murdered by the Jiang Shen Niangniang?"

Xiao Ai was silent for a few breaths before speaking.

"Don't worry, no one can harm Lord Wolf God. And Niang Gu Zhou is Gu Yan's mother. Even if she harms others, she won't harm Lord Wolf God."

As he said that, Xiao Ai glanced at the maids around him and transmitted his voice.

"Also, don't make the matter of Goddess Jiang public for now. I'll talk to Lord Wolf God when he comes back later. I'm here to protect your life."

Xiao Ai made a promise, which eased Shen Wuyou's worries.

But Xiao Ai looked at the uneasy little boy in front of her with a cold look in her eyes.

What the boy's mother said was old news many years ago.

Now in Huotong, the river god Gu Zhou mentioned by people is a river god who guards both sides of the river. Almost no one mentions the time when Goddess Gu Zhou was a demon cultivator.

But Shen Wuyou's mother warned them not to approach Pangjiang...

Is the boy's mother out of touch with the news? Or is there another reason?

Xiao Ai was thinking in her heart, but her expression was normal, just waiting for Lord Wolf God to come out and report the matter.

In the depths of the Water Palace, Lu Heng, led by Gu Zhou, came to a gloomy underground pool.

This place is located directly below the Jiang Shen Water Palace. It is a huge underground cave that is ten feet deep after digging from the riverbed.

There is no river water inside, and a special barrier isolates the water of the Pangjiang River above.

In the center of the huge underground cave, a pool of dark yellow spring water exudes a gloomy and dead air, which makes this place look like the netherworld.

When entering this underground space, Lu Heng noticed many souls wandering in the gloomy and dead air.

After all, this place is not the real netherworld. Even with the spring water left by Lu Heng, it can only keep these souls from dissipating.

The spiritual wisdom of the souls will always be confused and wander aimlessly underground. Until they really enter the underworld and are nourished by the yin energy, they can gradually regain consciousness.

And the souls of the dead wandering in this underground space are indeed full of ghosts as Jiang Shen Gu Zhou said.

Looking around, there were dense ghosts wandering around, at least five or six hundred people.

This number was far beyond Lu Heng's expectations.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the death rate in the war years is indeed not comparable to that in peacetime."

According to Lu Heng's estimation, it would take at least several decades for the ancient Zhou Dynasty to fill this place with souls. By that time, Lu Heng would have probably found a suitable underworld administrator and the framework of the underworld could be built.

By then, these dead souls could be led into the underworld, and they could choose to become ghost messengers or reincarnate.

But now, only five years have passed, and this place is already filled with so many ghosts, and Lu Heng has not even seen the shadow of the Lord of the Underworld he wants to find.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

But facing the ghosts that almost filled the underground space, Lu Heng could only sigh and said, "I'll take them to the Netherworld first."

If they are not taken away, there will be no room for new dead souls here.

As he said this, Lu Heng waved his sleeves lightly, and the Netherworld Soul Seal emerged from behind him.

The eerie and deadly aura spread in the underground space.

In an instant, Lu Heng, Jiang Shen Gu Zhou, and many ghosts around him disappeared in the underground world.

And on the extremely dark Yellow Spring Road, when Lu Heng opened his eyes, besides Jiang Shen Gu Zhou, there were hundreds of ghosts of different ages and genders around him.

Stepping on the Yellow Spring water, these dim and transparent ghosts gradually became solid, and their eyes slowly recovered from dullness.

But it will take some time before they are completely awake.

Lu Heng took Jiang Shen Gu Zhou away from the Yellow Spring Road and went directly to the depths of the underworld.

The power of the netherworld was activated, and Lu Heng and Gu Zhou flashed and came to the desolate plain where many cultivators' souls were cultivating.

They saw dozens of cultivators' souls who had been cultivating here for many years.

Lu Heng smiled and greeted them: "Everyone, long time no see."

Thinking about it carefully, the last time I met the ghost cultivators was several years ago.

Now six years have passed, and the cultivators' souls on this wasteland have finally shed the yang energy of the living souls and almost merged with the Yinsha underworld.

It seems that their ghost cultivation has already had a good start.
