Who?!

Wang Xuan was suddenly startled and quickly turned around.

I saw a hundred meters behind, I don't know when there was an old man, his robe was messy, his hair was dry like grass, his body was as thin as firewood, half of his body was turned into charcoal, and blood-colored eyes appeared on it.

It looks like he's seriously injured, and it's one breath more than a dead man.

However, Wang Xuan didn't dare to be careless at all, he was affectionate and dignified, as if he was facing a great enemy, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the seniors for their names."

After the Marshal's Mansion became enlightened, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.

The main body is in the Middle-earth Continent, in order not to attract the attention of Tiantiao, he always suppresses his cultivation and does not dare to break through, but this doppelganger is fearless, the ghostly spirit, the refreshing spirit, and the two soul chakras have already condensed.

This is a qualitative change, far beyond the Heavenly Court military cultivation of the same level, there is no pressure to deal with the masters of the True Immortal level, and it is also the confidence that he dares to come to the Nine Shadows alone.

The other party can approach silently, and his identity is definitely not ordinary.

When the old man saw Wang Xuan's appearance, he didn't care, but looked at the dilapidated city below, and laughed: "What are you nervous about, the old man is just a lonely ghost, and his time is short."

The voice was like a night owl, with resentment in the desolation.

Oh?

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately thought of this person's identity.

The White Tiger Soldier Saint Li Yuan and the Three Absolute Princess Li Qianqiu played a game, causing chaos in the Nine Shadows, and the key person was this person, Xiao Tu, one of the five elders of the Xiao family.

After the battle of Wankong Mountain, he also asked the Treasure Pavilion to send someone to inquire about the news, and learned that he had been promoted to the Golden Immortal, but he was still not the opponent of the Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable.

Unexpectedly, this old monster is still alive.

Thousands of thoughts flashed in Wang Xuan's heart, but his face was silent, and he respectfully arched his hand and said, "In this case, the juniors will not disturb the seniors, so they will leave."

He had already seen that although the other party had a golden immortal cultivation, he was too seriously injured, and if he really wanted to leave, he would definitely not be able to stop him.

However, at this time, the Nine Shadows are chaotic, and maybe there are Wankong Mountain and Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable's subordinates peeping around, so it is best not to do anything.

"Go? Hahaha..."

Xiao Tu, who was like a terrible ghost, laughed strangely, and then his eyes were bloodshot, "Since you take the statue of the Liujia God as your body, it must be the Heavenly Court Eagle Dog, the old man let you go and go back to report the news?"

Let's do it.

"Slow!"

Wang Xuan hurriedly retreated, and said in a deep voice: "Seniors, don't misunderstand, it's really not a secret, down there are secret agents of the Treasure Pavilion, and they have nothing to do with those plague heavenly soldiers, and they have other important things to do here."

"Treasure Chamber?"

Xiao Tu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already believed Wang Xuan's words.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion once had a stronghold in Yin Immortal City, and he often cooperated with his Xiao family brothers, so he knew his style of acting.

But having said that, the murderous intent in Xiao Tu's eyes did not dissipate, and he sneered and said, "The catastrophe is coming, your Treasure Pavilion is the fastest, and now you have sent someone back, what is your plan?"

Seeing Wang Xuan's hesitation, his heart moved inexplicably, and he immediately said sharply: "Say it quickly, if you have half a point to hide, the old man will leave you behind after fighting for the last breath!"

Wang Xuan's face became ugly, but he still sighed, "I don't dare to hide my seniors, I came here on this trip because of a big event."

"Wankong Mountain colluded with the Heavenly Court Plague Gouyuan Heavenly King to privately open the second layer of the Nine Shadows Passage, trying to seize the treasure of the Ancient Hades, and the Netherworld Glazed Saint Venerable and the Three-Yuan Chongxu Saint Monarch have all participated in it..."

He came on this trip, firstly, to rescue Li Qianqiu and others, and secondly, to muddy the water.

"I see!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tu suddenly brightened up all his previous doubts, and laughed miserably: "It turns out that Li Yuan has designed it in every possible way, it turns out that he was ordered by the Sanyuan Chongxu Holy Monarch to uproot my Yin Immortal City. I guess I'm afraid of something bad for us."

"So many people calculated, Yin Immortal City didn't lose at a loss, damn it, you all deserve to die!"

As he spoke, his expression was already a little crazy.

Wang Xuan: "......"

He didn't expect that this old monster would suffer a big change

, the mind is also confused, and he begins to make up for his own brain.

But it's okay, it's just what he wants.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan hurriedly took a step back and arched his hand: "Senior, don't be angry, what's the use of destroying this clone, why don't you cooperate?"

"Oh?"

Xiao Tu suppressed his killing intent and asked, "What are you cooperating?"

Wang Xuan's face was calm and said, "I can't hide it, that Plague Gouyuan Heavenly King may have some grudges against us, if he gets the treasure of the underworld, his strength will definitely increase greatly, so when he comes down, he also wants to sabotage his plan."

Xiao Tu became interested, "What do you say?"

Wang Xuan said eloquently: "The younger generation has two strategies."

"The next strategy is to destroy the Great Array of Wankong Mountain and clear this group of people at the second layer of the Nine Shadows, but the identity of the Gouyuan Heavenly King is not trivial, even if the Great Array is destroyed, some people will do everything possible to re-set the formation, and they can only cause some trouble to the other party."

"The best policy is to risk your life. The second layer of the Nine Shadows is full of dangers, and if you can secretly find some means, maybe you can kill one or two..."

As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on his face, "If you come down with a clone, you don't plan to go back, instead of fighting to the death with your seniors, it's better to do something more practical, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, good!"

Xiao Tu's eyes were shining, "This matter is an old man, but if you dare to deceive in the slightest, even if you have a doppelganger, the old man can curse you to death!"

Wang Xuan hurriedly bowed his hand, "This is going to the Nine Shadows, and I have to ask the seniors to take care of it, how dare I deceive."

Having said that, although Xiao Tu was on guard, his hostility was mostly reduced, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man is now too seriously injured, and he has been damaged by that netherworld old monster, and he has a bloody eye glass spell in his body, and Wankong Mountain is now heavily guarded, and it is difficult to attack with the strength of you and me."

Wang Xuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, my Treasure Pavilion has already explored a secret passage, but there are many dangers in it, and there may be the legendary soul hooking bird..."

Since you want to take the other party down to the second layer, these things will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to inform them in advance to win trust.

Sure enough, the suspicion in Xiao Tu's eyes went a little more, and he nodded, "I knew that the Treasure Pavilion had a big plate, and it was really extraordinary."

Then, the old monster thought for a moment and said, "No one has ever seen the real body of the Soul Hook Bird, it is rumored to be the messenger of the Nine Shadows Great God, if there is really such a thing, it is indeed troublesome. However, it's not impossible... Come with me!"

After that, the figure flickered, and it appeared a hundred miles away.

Although Wang Xuan had doubts in his heart, he still followed.

The two of them were fast and headed southeast.

Less than half a burnt incense, a big river suddenly appeared in front of him.

The pitch-black river water is still not frozen in the extreme cold, the river is shrouded in a thick mist, and the river surface is calm without a trace of waves.

River of Three Corpses.

Wang Xuan has heard about it for a long time, but he still doesn't know this place.

Not only that, but he also saw more strange things when he ran the candle dragon's eye.

For example, the surface of the river seems to be calm, but the bottom is extremely dangerous, the skeleton monster fish the size of a sailboat, the octopus with tentacles full of bone spurs... They are amazingly large and are fighting each other.

In addition, there was also a resentful ghost who controlled the bone boat to drive on the river, and was disturbed by the breath of the two of them, and quickly disappeared into the mist.

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by your predecessors coming here?"

He was already vigilant.

After all, it's a thousand-year-old monster, don't let the other party not be fooled, but be calculated by it.

Xiao Tu didn't care, looked at the dense fog in the distance, and said silently: "The old man and brother were originally the generals of the Heavenly Court in the northwest, and when the master was alive, he once said that this soul hooking bird is both a divine beast and a Nine Shadows Town Beast, if you want not to be affected by it, you must have something with the same root and origin."

"Do you know the origin of these three corpses?"

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "It is rumored that there are three ancient gods and demons at the source of the river, and they have not rotted so far, so it is called the Three Corpses River."

Xiao Tu sneered, "What ancient gods and demons, in fact, they are the ancient Nine Shadows guarding the door giant spirits, the Three Realms have their own laws, and the Nine Shadows must have undergone great changes, otherwise how would it."

It has become the borderless land it is today, and it is open to all people."

Wang Xuan's heart was shocked, thoughtful.

This old monster is right, there is a heavenly court in the nine heavens, and the ancient history has become a secret of heaven and earth, but at least there are many artifacts left, which can suppress the Three Realms.

The Nine Shadows are the destination of the Yin Soul, and their importance is not weaker than that of the Heavenly Court, and there are also innate gods, if nothing happens, how can it become a place of refuge for the evil demons...

Wang Xuan vaguely felt that he was afraid that he had touched on some terrible ancient secret, but now he didn't bother to think about it, so he asked, "Those giant spirit corpses, can you restrain the soul hooking birds?"

"Not restraint, but hiding."

Xiao Tu smiled, "The source of the Three Corpses River is hundreds of millions of miles away from here, but after the old man and brother came here, they made a special trip to get some skin and bones."

"Originally, I wanted to refine it into a magic weapon, but I couldn't think of a use for it for the time being, so I hid here, set up a large array, and nourished it with the Yin Qi of the Three Corpses River. Hahaha, old ghost, this is the day that will kill you!"

With that, he opened his mouth and screamed miserably.

Rumble!

The entire lake exploded in an instant.

Like a volcanic eruption, the mountain-like water swelled hundreds of feet high, and the bone monster fish and bone spur octopus hidden in it were all torn apart.

An object flew out of the water and smashed on the riverbank with a bang, splashing ice and snow dust.

Wang Xuan was speechless when he saw it.

It was an arm, obviously shrunken, but it showed more and more the thickness of the bones, like a human hand with five fingers, but the surface was covered with pitch-black scales, and with sharp nails, it was like a god and a demon.

What is even more surprising is that this half of the arm alone is twenty zhang long.

The Yellow Turban Lux is already a giant of the Heavenly Court, and one can imagine how huge those Nine Ghost Spirits are.

This Xiao family brother got this thing, and it is estimated that he took a lot of effort.

Without waiting for Wang Xuan to think about it, Xiao Tu had already stretched out his hand to condense his claws, and Gengjin Gangmang appeared in the air, ripped off a piece of leather with a stabbing sound, and casually wore it with fascia, and then made two simple cloaks.

He chuckled, "This thing should work, but if it doesn't, we'll have to break in."

"The seniors are smart!"

Wang Xuan patted his ass, then looked at the arm and said with a smile, "I have gathered the treasures of the Three Realms in the Treasure Pavilion, and I don't know if my predecessors are willing to sell some."

Xiao Tu sneered and mocked: "Sure enough, it's a person from the Treasure Pavilion, and he hasn't changed his business nature until now, you can take it if you want to, anyway, such a big movement, I'm afraid it has already alarmed the subordinates of the three old monsters."

"Thank you, senior."

Wang Xuan was happy in his heart, he wanted to buy some skins and prepare them for Li Qianqiu and others, but he didn't expect the other party to be so generous.

Even so, Wang Xuan was not polite, and rose into the air and pressed on the arm of the giant spirit.

In the blink of an eye, the arm was gone.

Xiao Tu frowned slightly.

This giant spirit's arm is not so easy to divide, their brother had a lot of trouble at that time, but now it is easy, just relying on the golden immortal dao.

I wanted to try this young man's pounds, but if there was a conflict, he also knew it, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a big storage magic weapon.

What he didn't know was that after Wang Xuan hooked up with the Treasure Pavilion and the Baoguang Dao people, he had five Yao Star Stone Mines to squander, and he had already rerefined the Cave Xuan Arm.

Not to mention one arm, even the entire djinn corpse can be contained.

At this moment, the blood suddenly flickered in the distance, like a tide, accompanied by the mournful wails of countless resentful ghosts.

Xiao Tu's attention was diverted, and he smiled strangely: "It's the Blood God Army under the command of the Three Yuan Old Monsters, and it's the commander of that Li Yuan, who is about to settle accounts with him!"

However, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, the leader is not Li Yuan, it's just that it's important to get down to business first, let's go!"

Wang Xuan naturally knew, and followed him into the air, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow...

……

Two hours later, they were in the cave.

Wang Xuan's eyes were gloomy, and according to the method described by Li Qianqiu, he silently activated the formation.

He's just on the road

I saw the exit of the Nine Ghost Country's caves, full of floating boats, and the masters were like clouds, and there were more people than expected.

Sure enough, if you fight hard, there is no chance of winning, not to mention that there is a more powerful Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable Legion, which can only be developed while attacking and harassing.

Xiao Tu next to him naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and at this moment he was full of vengeful and vicious thoughts, urging repeatedly.

After the Qi flowed, the two disappeared in an instant.

When I opened my eyes again, there was already darkness around me, as if standing in the void, and the broken stone bridge was suspended in the air, spreading downward in a spiral.

"Sure enough, it's the Nine Shadows Passage!"

Xiao Tu was overjoyed, "It is rumored that there was once one passage through the Nine Shadows, but then it was all destroyed by Heavenly Court, I can't imagine that there is another one here, if my brother had known about this place..."

said, his eyes were full of resentment, "Die, you deserve to die, the old man will not let you have a good time if he fights hard..."

Wang Xuan did not speak.

He knew in his heart that the foundation of this old monster was damaged, and it was all supported by a breath of resentment, and the demons in his heart were haunting, and he might explode at any time.

It seems that he wants to find a chance to leave, and this thunder is handed over to the Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable.

Thinking of this, he didn't talk nonsense and walked forward.

This passage is very strange, if you leave too far, the broken bridge will also become blurred, between the virtual and the real, so the two have to go down the bridge.

They were so fast that they were down in the blink of an eye.

"Stop!"

Xiao Tu's old monster suddenly stared at the bottom with round eyes, and said, "It's really a little weird, what did you hear?"

Wang Xuan also stopped, listened carefully, and then shook his head and said, "I can't hear anything below."

Xiao Tu sneered: "It's the sound of soul hooking, you doppelganger remnant soul control, when you hear it, I'm afraid you've already been confused, and you won't do it!"

Unlike Fang Cai, after entering the Nine Shades Passage, Wang Xuan's tone was obviously much worse.

Wang Xuan didn't care, wrapped the cloak made of the leather of the Nine Ghost Giant Spirits tightly, and continued to move forward.

Sure enough, after another hundred feet, Wang Xuan heard a certain sound, as if someone was moaning in pain, and it seemed to be whispering, which was extremely strange.

Even through the leather cloak, he felt a blur in front of him, surrounded by shadows, as if lying under the covers, the whole person relaxed, groggy and wanted to sleep.

It's so comfortable.

It is like the soul has found its homeland, a place of eternal rest.

Rotten!

Wang Xuan woke up suddenly, and secretly ran the "Mixed Yuan Star Sutra".

The Tai Chi balls transformed by the Ghost Spirit, Cool Spirit, and Two Soul Evil Wheels rotated slowly, firmly guarding the mind.

The old monster next to him was unaffected, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "I have some skills, let's go, this giant spirit skin is really useful, quickly find the exit, lest the divine beast appear and hook your soul!"

With that, it suddenly accelerated, like a streamer speeding down with the stone bridge.

Wang Xuan also gritted his teeth and followed.

As the old monster said, the clone is controlled by a wisp of split souls, and it is far less powerful than the main body, so it is better to find the exit as soon as possible.

At the same time, he was a little worried.

According to the current situation, this soul hooking bird obviously restrained him, even in the face of this messenger beast, he couldn't stand it, facing the mysterious Nine Shadows God, and realizing the Dao rhyme, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Do you really want to let the body come?

Thousands of thoughts turned in his heart, but his speed was still unabated, after all, the goal of this trip was mainly to rescue Li Qianqiu and others.

This Nine Secluded Passage is really amazing, and I don't know what kind of existence it was built, at the speed of the two of them, the time of three incense sticks has passed, and it has not yet reached the end.

And the soul-hooking voice of the divine beast is getting stronger and stronger, Wang Xuan is already running the "Mixed Yuan Star Sutra" at full strength, and he almost leaks the Qi machine.

At this moment, the old monster suddenly stopped.

Wang Xuan also stopped, and his cloak whistled.

They don't know when they have come to the end.

It's a platform with a lot of area, all made of

Huge bluestone forging, potholes, many places have been broken, the radius is not more than a hundred zhang.

There is a towering stone statue on the platform, with only half of the body left on the lotus base, and it is vaguely distinguishable that it is a large bird with six wings.

Needless to say, most of them are soul-hooking bird statues.

Around the platform, it was pitch black, like a void, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Wang Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, "This is the second layer of the Nine Shadows? Why is there no road?"

"Hahaha."

Xiao Tu looked around and said with a sneer, "Of course there is no way, because this is not the way for the living at all!"

After that, he took out a gourd from his arms, and his eyes rarely showed a trace of sadness, "Even if you enter the netherworld, it can be regarded as a destination, let's go..."

The mouth of the gourd opened, and the wind was blowing in a flash.

Wang Xuan ran the candle dragon eye and saw it clearly.

It was full of dense remnants of ghosts, some of which had turned into powerful ghosts, some of which were uncertain and about to dissipate, and there were two of them, who were extremely similar to Xiao Tu's appearance...

Wang Xuan understood in an instant.

It turns out that this old ghost has been hiding outside Yin Immortal City in order to collect the remnant soul, but he is also a person who misses the old.

Countless ghosts poured out, and they were instantly confused by the sound of the soul hooking bird, and even the fierce ghosts became dazed.

As if summoned by something, all the Yin Spirits rushed forward in unison into the dark void.

Boom!

A blue flame lit up.

Out of the dark void, a passage appeared out of thin air.

It's still a stone bridge, but it's a lot wider.

Above the stone bridge, there is a huge stone statue suspended with a lotus base, a body like an owl, with six wings, and the face is an old man, looking at the ghost below with kind eyes...

The soul returns to the nine secluded places and enjoys eternal sleep.

Wang Xuan inexplicably remembered those ancient folk customs of Middle-earth.

"Stupid what, let's go!"

Xiao Tu urged sharply, and the two immediately mixed into the ghost team.

Boom!

Ahead of us, another stone lamp was lit, and a new path was born.

And in the rear, as the ghost leaves, the stone lamp goes out, and the stone bridge disappears into the void...
