Layers of mist rose from the ground, blurring the black, gray and white world at the other end of the torii, with towering cubes looming in the distance.

Just as they were hesitating about whether they should march towards the cubes, a group of blue butterflies suddenly flew out of the mist, and in this colorless world, they were obviously too dazzling to fly in the shape of hyacinth flowers. They hovered in the sky in front of the three teenagers, not only flapping their blue wings like peacock feathers that shimmered with strange light, but they were beautiful and eye-catching.

"Are you trying to lead the way?" Xia Qiu looked up at the group of butterflies and asked.

The butterfly seemed to understand her words and flew up and down as if nodding.

"Or we'll follow them!" Xia Qiu recognized it and proposed to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi beside him.

As soon as the blue butterflies saw Xia Qiu and decided to follow them, they began to fly forward, sometimes forward, sometimes flipping, sometimes surrounding them, and from time to time crystal powdery objects fell on their wings, forming specks of light in the air, adding a bit of life to this lifeless world.

Led by the butterflies, they got closer and closer to the gigantic cubes, and the sound of mechanical rotation and all kinds of terrible screams in the air became clearer, each of which seemed to pierce the depths of the soul. When they walked up to the cubes, they found that they were actually cages that were constantly changing like a Rubik's cube, and each cage contained many unhuman souls who had been tortured, and the sins they had committed in their lives were attached to them day and night, and they were repaid with tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold suffering.

Xia Qiu almost didn't dare to look at the Rubik's Cube cages that kept rotating on both sides, most of the undead in those cages were already full of holes, their expressions were hideous and terrifying, and they tried to stretch out their hands from the iron cage. Not far away, a group of shackled men staggered as they were driven into a square cage by two skeletons in black cloaks waving their iron whips.

The two black-clothed skeletons suddenly looked in the direction of the three teenagers, and as they looked at them, the red flames in the skeletons' eyes flickered a few times. The three teenagers held their breath at the same time, not daring to act rashly, waiting for the danger that might strike. At this moment, the group of blue butterflies flew over, and after being surrounded by butterflies for a while, the skeleton man quickly left in the other direction.

The blue butterflies began to guide the three teenagers as they were led to a wide river, a dead silent and viscous black liquid, motionless but seemingly containing a dark power that could suck their souls into it at any moment.

They walked along the riverbank, and in a moment several black spires appeared in the smoke-filled distance. When I walked up, I realized that it was a twisted building, and the so-called twisted building was because it was made up of two completely unrelated buildings connected together, one half like a medieval castle in Europe, and the other half like an ancient Chinese palace. It was as if they had been strangely collided by some mysterious force, but they were unexpectedly tightly connected.

"This can't be the Flame Luo Demon Palace, right?!" Qianqi looked up and down at the abrupt building in front of him, showing a surprised expression.

"I don't know, but since we're all here, I have to go in and have a look!" Ouyang Xiaoleng also felt a sense of discomfort with this building.

Xia Qiu didn't pay attention to their conversation, but was attracted by the huge clock above her head. The clock was on the side of the castle in Europe, and the hour hand spun rapidly on it, making a ticking sound that made her feel that the castle was alive and could open her eyes at any moment.

The gate of this yin-yang building is exactly at the junction of the castle and the palace, and the sculptures standing outside the gate are also very distinctive, on the side of the castle is an ancient European knight wearing armor, holding a shield and a sword, and on the other side of the palace is a black yaksha with bat-like wings carved in great detail, making people feel that it will fly at any time. The blue butterflies flapped their wings against the closed gate, as if urging them to get inside.

Qianqi tried to push the door, but the door did not move, as if it was locked from the inside. He reached out and tapped the door a few more times, but at first there was no response, and after a few seconds, the sound of unlocking came from inside, and the door slowly opened. The blue butterfly slid inside, followed by the three teenagers, and as soon as they entered the door, the butterflies disappeared into the darkness without a sound.

Compared to the strange appearance, the inside looked much more normal, and in the empty and dimly lit hall, the stone walls were hung with blue lights, flickering and dimming. There are countless copper mirrors on both sides of the aisle in the middle, each side is more than one person high, when the three teenagers walk by the mirror, they will unconsciously see their own reflection in the mirror, those shadows look a little strange, it is themselves and not themselves, staring at it for a long time makes people a little creepy, because the expression of those shadows will suddenly reveal a trace of weirdness and hideousness. Some of the reflections even seem to want to jump out of the mirror and grab themselves outside the mirror, some seem to be experiencing pain, some are afraid to cover their ears with their hands, and some are afraid to close their eyes......

After gradually getting used to the darkness in the hall, Xia Qiu suddenly noticed that at the end of the hall, there were several pairs of red flame-like eyes looking in their direction, she did not speak, but tugged at the corner of Ouyang Xiaoleng's clothes. In fact, Ouyang Xiaoleng had long been aware of the figures watching them in front of him, and he used his body to cover Xia Qiu.

"Why did the living beings come to the Yellow Springs Realm?" A voice came from a distant throne and shattered the silence in the air.

Sitting on the throne was a tall figure in gold-scale armor with a golden mask on his face, and no emotion could be heard in his voice, but there was a chill to the bone.

Ouyang Xiaoleng immediately realized that that person was the Flame Luo Demon King, and stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "Flame Luo Demon King, hello! I am Ouyang Xiaoleng, the descendant of the Demon King Fox, the rune that sealed the Divine Pillar of the Demon Realm is gone, and my companions and I came to find the talisman hidden in the Huangquan Country, in order to seal the divine power dissipated in the Divine Pillar and relieve the crisis of the collapse of the entire Demon Realm. ”

Before his words fell, the Demon King of Flame Luo shouted: "Hehe, listen! How ridiculous, this is not a place where you can come and go casually, and now you still want to take the talisman from this place where you have always only entered and exited?! ”

Under the throne, the skeletons in black and white cloaks repeated like echoes "only in but not out, only in but not out......

It sounded like they made a strange sound, as if only teeth and bones collided together to create them.

The Demon King laughed more sarcastically, then turned to the man in peacock blue clothes closest to him in front of him, and reproached, "Hyacinth, what did you bring them to me for?" You should take them to the Forbidden Forest, or to the Soul Guards in front of the Spirit Palace, and let them be killed by evil spirits or swept into a black hole. ”

At this time, Xia Qiu and they noticed that this beautiful man named Hyacinth, who was extremely inconsistent with everything around him, was wearing a robe that was the color of the butterflies that had shown them the way just now, and now it seemed that those butterflies were transformed into him.

The man named Hyacinth hurriedly explained: "Lord Yanluo Demon King, the Demon King Fox is the lord of the demon realm chosen by the gods, if you exile them like this, it is tantamount to going against the will of the gods, and you are also openly hostile to the demon world!" That's what I brought them to you! ”

"Hehe, the jokes I heard today are really one after another! My Huangquan Kingdom is not under the jurisdiction of any realm of humans, gods and demons, this distorted space is neither subject to time nor reincarnation, there is no cause and no effect, so why not be afraid of disobeying the will of the gods, or being an enemy of the demon world. The Demon King retorted arrogantly.

"Nian is the first time they have come here, they don't know the rules here, and they have the urgency to save the demon world, so I beg the Demon King of Yanluo to let them go! Hyacinth is willing to lead them and bring them back to their own world! Hyacinth saw that persuasion failed, so he had to take a step back and plead.

"Just let them go back? How can it be! I can give you the talisman you want! The Flame Luo Demon King's tone changed, and it sounded like there was a huge conspiracy hidden, "But you have to complete the three things I proposed, if you can complete it successfully, you can not only take the earth talisman with you, but also leave my Yellow Springs Kingdom safely." ”

"Then we'll make up our minds!" Ouyang Xiaoleng immediately responded, for fear that the Flame Luo Demon King would change his mind again, his gaze and the mask on the throne stared straight at him, without any flinching.

Hyacinth on the side had a premonition, he knew the character of the Yama Demon King, it was almost impossible to take away the earth talisman from the Yellow Spring Country, and the request he was about to make would definitely make the three children in front of him more auspicious. He wanted to do his best to protect them from leaving safely as soon as possible, but instead of following their wishes, they insisted on meeting the challenge of the Flame Luo Demon King, not realizing that they had been roped around their necks.

Just when he was anxious and helpless, the Flame Luo Demon King smiled maliciously, looked at them condescendingly, and said, "Since you also agree, then I will talk about the three things I need you to complete!" First, you must swim to the other side of the river Nai, pick the flowers, and bring them back to my daughter. Second, you must enter the Forbidden Forest and find the Colored Crystals; Third, you must retrieve your own spirit card from the Lingque Palace, and only then can you leave here safely! ”

Hearing the three conditions put forward by the Demon King of Yanluo, Hyacinth was already in a cold sweat, and it would take great perseverance and courage to do any of them. The three teenagers in front of them were full of confidence, obviously not knowing what kind of desperate struggle they would be involved in, nor did they know what the consequences would be if they could not complete it. Although he couldn't remind them in person, he was determined that if they had to do what the Demon King of Flame Luo said, he would help them in secret, but whether they succeeded or not depended on their own creation.

"Okay, we'll definitely finish it, so let's take our leave!" Ouyang Xiaoleng replied confidently, and then without saying a word, he took Xia Qiu and Qianqi to bid farewell to the Flame Luo Demon King and walked towards the outside of the Flame Luo Demon Palace.

Hyacinth also found an excuse to leave the main hall to chase after them soon after, and before walking out of the main hall, the Demon King of Yanluo had already given him a final warning, not to give any help to the Demon King Fox Descendant and his companions, otherwise he would be severely punished. In fact, he had expected this a long time ago, but he still couldn't retract his decision to disobey the Demon King of Flame Luo to help these teenagers. He didn't know why he was doing it, maybe it was from them, he saw some kind of hope, although he could no longer leave this twisted and empty world, but they were different.

He didn't have time to think more about his situation, so he once again transformed into the brilliant blue butterflies, arranged in the shape of hyacinth flowers, caught up with the three teenagers and guided them all the way to the Nai River.
