Chapter 5343 Return to the Underworld
Night fell.
Su Han sat cross-legged on the square, surrounded by people from the Phoenix Sect.
They looked nervous and anxious, but also full of expectation. Their palms were tightly clenched, and they looked red because of excessive force.
"Wow!!!"
The many holy crystals placed around Su Han flew up at the same time and exploded in the void.
At this moment, Su Han's eyes suddenly opened!
"Open the underworld!"
"Swish!"
A crisp sound came from the void, and a crack emerged from it. The crack became larger and larger, moving horizontally to both sides, and finally turned into a huge pit.
Many saintly cultivators can break the void, but they simply blasted the void.
Su Han's situation was different. After the pit in front of him appeared, bursts of shrill screams and biting cold winds came out.
It seemed that the other side of the pit was another world.
"It's open! It's open!"
"We must rescue them..."
"We must rescue them all!"
Seeing the pit open, many people's hearts tightened, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.
Su Han stood up, looking at the hopeful crowd around him, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
Back then in Longwu Continent, the 'God-Slaughtering Pavilion' re-founded by Su Han encountered a catastrophe, and almost everyone was killed or injured.
At that time, Su Han relied on Long Lie to open the door to the underworld and asked Yin Wang Yunqing to send all the souls back to the world.
That time, Su Han resurrected everyone, and the God-Slaughtering Pavilion was renamed 'Phoenix Sect'.
Now, Su Han opened the door to the underworld again, and Long Lie no longer needed to take action, but...
He was not sure whether he could bring back all the phoenix heroic souls.
The times are different, and the cultivation of the dead is also different.
In Longwu Continent, they had no Yuanshen, no powerful cultivation, and could not even be called 'cultivators', but could only be said to be a group of warriors.
Warriors are still considered mortals after all, so the realm of Longwu Continent is called the ‘mortal realm’.
Now, many people have reached the fairyland and the divine realm, and there are too many deaths this time.
Yin Wang has his own bottom line and his own limitations. Although Su Han has a friendship with him, he cannot embarrass Yin Wang again and again.
"You all, wait for our sect here."
After Su Han finished speaking, he stepped into the black hole in front of him.
After a short period of darkness, Su Han saw the dark yellow and turbid river for the second time, with countless arms and heads sticking out, mixed with shrill screams.
"Yellow Spring..." Su Han murmured.
His divine consciousness expanded, wanting to see if there would be any souls of the Phoenix Sect in this long river across the earth.
However, when his divine consciousness fell into the Yellow Spring, it was immediately destroyed by an invisible force, making it impossible for him to search.
In silence, Su Han came to the Naihe Bridge, which looked shabby but extremely solid.
Souls walked across the bridge one after another. They lost their minds, their eyes were full of emptiness, and they seemed to be following some instructions and walking aimlessly.
Among these souls, Su Han saw a lot of familiar faces.
Although he couldn't call out the names of these people, Su Han was sure that they had entered the underworld not long ago.
Because they were brought to the Holy Land by Su Han from Longwu Continent and other star regions before they died!
Su Han reached out and tried to grab the arms of these people, but the latter were all illusory, and he couldn't grab them at all, so he could only let these souls pass through his body.
He was also speaking, but those souls couldn't hear him.
"Only Yun Qing can control the affairs of the underworld!"
Su Han took a deep breath, followed these souls, walked down the Naihe Bridge together, and came to an old woman.
Gray hair, hunched figure, ugly appearance, hideous expression...
Just like the last time she came to the underworld, Meng Po did not change at all.
The difference is that she seemed to still remember Su Han, and this time when she saw Su Han, her face did not show any ferocity, but her pupils shrank, the water scoop in her hand fell to the ground, and she stepped back a few points involuntarily.
"Junior, meet the Demon Dragon Ancient Emperor."
"The rules of the underworld, this sect knows that all souls must drink Meng Po soup."
Su Han looked at Meng Po, pointed at the souls of the Phoenix Sect, and said: "But they are all from my Phoenix Sect. Before this sect leaves, you must not erase their memories!"
His tone was firm and unquestionable.
Meng Po didn't know if she understood or not, and her face showed strong struggle and hesitation, but in the end, she couldn't stand the terrifying pressure from Su Han and nodded.
"Thank you."
Su Han said, and then passed by Meng Po.
Meng Po looked at his back, with a strong puzzlement on her face, as if she couldn't understand why the Demon Dragon Ancient Emperor had become so strong in such a short time since he came here last time?
Black and White Impermanence had already sensed when a living person entered the underworld, but when they saw Su Han, their expressions immediately became respectful.
Both Meng Po and Black and White Impermanence learned about Su Han's identity from the underworld king Yun Qing the first time.
Now, when Su Han stepped into the underworld for the second time, he was already full of vigor and momentum, which was completely different from the first time.
"Greetings to the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor!" Black and White Impermanence bowed at the same time.
"Where is Yun Qing?" Su Han asked directly.
"Lord Yin Wang..."
The Black and White Impermanence looked embarrassed, but before they could speak, a sigh suddenly came.
"Forget it..."
The middle-aged figure appeared in front of Su Han, still the same as before, he seemed never to grow old.
"I didn't intend to come out to see you, but I couldn't get over this hurdle after all. Some things are best said in person." Yun Qing said softly.
Su Han trembled slightly, and he stared at Yun Qing: "They...really can't go back?"
"You can go back, but you have to pay a price."
Yun Qing seemed very frank: "I helped you once, and I have offended the wrath of heaven. If I help you again this time, I will be deprived of the position of Yin Wang, and I will be stuck at this step forever, and I will not make any progress."
Su Han seemed to be suffocating, standing there blankly.
The two spoke briefly, but in fact Su Han knew very well that Yin Wang was not a master. Although he was very close, so close that he could almost reach out and touch him, he was only an ancestor saint after all.
Yin Wang practiced two great ways, one for the soul and the other for death.
If he could take that step, he would definitely become the strongest among masters of the same level!
"You have been silent in the realm of the ninth ancestor saint for too many years. So far, you still haven't reached the limit of the master?" Su Han asked.
