Before Jiuyue's words were finished, the red light in the gate of the underworld suddenly let go and retracted, and a huge vermilion flower stood out, rising to the ground and stopped, at the same time, Xie Qin and Hua Rongying's qin tones were mentioned, and then there was silence, and the gate of the underworld also closed.

The red flower, which was larger than the grinding disc, hovered there, and the huge petals were wrapped in layers and slowly began to bloom.

"Afterlife?"

Jiuyue chuckled in his heart, he didn't know if the flower really contained Hui Wei and the other four, if they were, then it must be Hui Wei who delayed the return time because of her search for her mother, because this flower was exactly the same as the flower that sent Hui Wei out of the underworld back then, that is to say, this is the afterlife flower released by Hui Wei's mother's spell.

Jiu Tribulation and Xingtian have also heard of the Death Flower, and know that it is a secret technique that has been lost in the Maoshan Sect for a long time, but the two have not seen it with their own eyes, and they are all surprised when they hear Jiuyue say the word "Death Flower".

At this time, the petals of the deceased flowers bloomed layer by layer, revealing four people, Xuanying, Huiwei, Linglong and the Netherworld Ghost King, Huiwei was supported by Linglong, her eyes were dull, her face was expressionless, and two lines of tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

"Xuanying! Linglong! You're finally back, thank God!"

When Honglian saw that they were safe and sound, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Xuan Ying and Linglong helped Hui Wei and the Nether Ghost King to fall to the ground together, and as soon as their feet touched the ground, the deceased flowers behind them quickly withered and contracted, and their eyes turned into a handful of ashes.

Hui Wei turned over and knelt on the ground, crying at the place where the flower disappeared: "Mother! ”

When Jiuyue heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Huiwei, didn't you see your mother in the underworld?"

Hui Wei turned around and knelt down on Jiuyue: "Master, Hui Wei delayed her return trip because she was looking for her mother, and she almost missed a major event, please punish Master." ”

Jiuyue already knew that her mother was not there when she heard her tone, and sighed and said, "It's good that you can come back, how can I punish you? ”

Hui Wei was ordered to stand up, still bowing her head and weeping.

At this time, Xuan Ying also knelt in front of the red lotus, bowed his head and said, "Master, the disciple also made a mistake and delayed the time to take the karma beads, and now he is here to confess." ”

Honglian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xuan Ying told him that when he passed through Huangquan, he ignored the dissuasion of Hui Wei and others, and insisted on going down to Huangquan to wash off the seal.

Honglian shook her head and said, "I guessed that you might have this move, but I didn't expect it to be the case." ”

Linglong hurriedly said: "Auntie, although Brother Xuanying and Hui Wei have been delayed for some time due to personal matters, we have already obtained the karma beads, so don't blame them." ”

Honglian said: "This matter still needs to be decided by real people. ”

The Nine Tribulations said: "Although it took a lot of trouble because you delayed the return trip, but fortunately, you have come back safely and retrieved the karma beads, at this time, you can deal with it later, I am exhausted, you go back to rest first, and then reason tomorrow." ”

He turned to the Netherworld Ghost King again: "This trip is full of help from the Ghost King, and if you have worked hard, please go and rest first." ”

"Yuan Hu, Ge Qing, send them to their residence. ”

Yuan Hu and Ge Qing answered yes and led Hui Wei and the Nether Ghost King to go first.

Jiu Tribulation came to Xie Qin again, bowed down, and said: "Today, all the girls helped each other, so that the four of them were able to get out of the underworld. ”

Xie Qin said indifferently: "There is no need to be polite. Now that the big thing is over, I'm going to leave it at that. ”

After speaking, he swept Xuan Ying from the corner of his eye, and he was about to leave.

Hua Rongying hurriedly grabbed her sleeve: "My sister is already here, why rush to leave?"

Xie Qin smiled slightly: "They have already left the underworld, and it is none of my business, I am not from your Kongtong, I have nothing to do with you, what is the point of staying here? ”

Jiu Tribulation listened and said: "The girl Yu Xuanying and others, Yu Kongtong up and down, and the people in the world have great grace, how can I say that it doesn't matter, according to me, the girl has been injured when she opened the door of the underworld, so it is better to live and breathe down for the time being, tomorrow the old Tao still has something to ask, I don't know if it is possible?"

Xie Qin pondered for a while: "Since I have something to ask, I will stay for a day for the time being, and I will do it tomorrow." ”

Jiu Tribulation nodded, and motioned for Hua Yeyu and Hua Rongying to take Xie Qin down to rest,

After the two of them went, Jiu Tribulation said to the rest of the people: "Come with me to the temple." ”

So the Nine Tribulations, the Nine Yues, and Xingtian took the lead, and Yan Tongyan, Red Lotus, Xuanying, and Linglong came to the main hall of the Wendao Palace together.

After sitting down in order, Jiu Tribulation said to Xuan Ying: "How is your trip, tell me slowly." ”

After Xuanying will enter the underworld, he will encounter the small yellow spring, enter the big yellow spring to wash the seal, get acquainted with the golden bell demon king, encounter Helian Chongming, the illusory mountain Chongming to win the pearl, and then Chongming died, follow Hui Wei into the Spirit Turtle Mountain, remove the ghost marquis, and see Qingyun······ And so on and so forth, all the past events are recounted in detail.

In the end, Xuan Ying took out the Underworld Karma Bead that Hui Wei handed over to him and presented it to the Nine Tribulations.

Jiu Tribulation looked at this seemingly innocuous bead and sighed: "For the sake of the karma bead, I almost ruined the lives of the four of you, but fortunately, I got it back in time, otherwise I'm afraid it's really too late." ”

Xuan Ying hurriedly said: "Why did the real person say this?"

Jiu Tribulation pointed to the outside of the hall: "Look at the sky outside, but what is the situation at the time of Maochen?"

Xuan Ying and Linglong had not had time to look at the surrounding scenery since they came out of the underworld, but now when they looked out, they really felt strange.

The sky outside was dark, shrouded in darkness between heaven and earth, and countless ink clouds the size of mountains were just like oolongs rolling, rolling past, continuously.

The hour has passed, and the hour is at the beginning of the hour, it is said that the red sun has already risen in the east, and the clouds are full of clouds, but it is still foggy and gray, and there is no daylight, and even the stormy weather of the black clouds on weekdays does not see such a terrifying scene.

Linglong didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "Is this going to rain? It's still so dark in the morning?"

Nine Tribulations smiled bitterly: "It's going to rain there, and it's been like this for two days. ”

Linglong was surprised: "Isn't that what happened after we went to the underworld!"

Jiu Tribulation nodded and said: "Exactly, not only the celestial phenomena are like this, I have sent Suifeng and others to investigate, but the terrible thing is that all the plants and trees within a radius of a hundred miles have been scorched and ruined, and there is no life, and at the same time, birds and beasts are extinct in this range, people and animals are dead, and everywhere these clouds and mist go, there is a very strong evil aura scattered in all directions, with my experience of more than 100 years, this is still an unprecedented strange thing, I guess, this is only one possibility······"

Xuan Ying's heart moved, and blurted out: "It's Wuji!"

Jiu Tribulation's face was solemn, and he nodded: "What you said coincides with my guess, it should be a ghost made by Wuji." ”

Xuan Ying and Linglong's faces changed, they glanced at each other, and Linglong said, "Could it be that he has broken through the restrictions of Jiudalian City and come to the human realm?"

Xuan Ying also said: "If Wuji has already arrived, why only see these demon clouds but not himself?"

Jiu Tribulation said: "How do you know that he himself did not come, how do you know that he is not this demon cloud, and this demon cloud is not him?"

Xuan Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "What does the real person mean that the demon cloud is a part of Wuji?"

Jiu Tribulation nodded: "If my guess is correct, the demon cloud is like the eyes and ears of the evil spirit, it covers a radius of a hundred miles from Kongtong, and our every move cannot escape his eyes." ”

Honglian hurriedly stood up: "Then what should we do?" Wuji's tentacles have extended here, and we will no longer have any privacy to speak of. ”

Nine Tribulations said: "The top priority now is not the time to think about this, I only have a little strangeness, if Wuji has come to the human realm, he did not come to us for trouble, but only used demon clouds to cover Kongtong, what is the purpose of this?"

Jiuyue said: "Maybe when he first arrived in the human realm, the aura of the human realm has restricted his demon methods, and it is unknown that he has not been able to act rashly. ”

Nine Tribulations sighed: "I hope so, if this is the case, we still have room to maneuver, now that the karma bead is in hand, we can fight with it when we return from the search for the divine artifact from the top of the sky." ”

At the mention of Ding Dingtian, Red Lotus's heart warmed, and she was about to ask about the Nine Tribulations, when the Nine Tribulations suddenly waved her hand to stop her, and at the same time listened attentively.
