Wang Xuan is not a sad person.

Cultivators have seen the great changes in the sea, and have become accustomed to the tide of the world, and their lives have become long, and passers-by have come and gone, and most of their hearts are like iron.

What's more, after he came to this world, he spent most of his time in the military camp, on the battlefield of horses, and there were countless souls under him, and he had already looked down on life and death.

And here, there is an inexplicable desolate sadness welling up in my heart.

It's like the years go by, and all living beings are mayflies...

Wang Xuan's hairs stood on end.

This is absolutely not normal.

The entire ancient city of Hades is like a half-dead creature, slowly pouring out some kind of sorrow, straight into the soul.

Is this underworld really alive?

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan suppressed the distractions in his heart, took out the Three Qi and Six Yi Plates from his arms, and carefully pinched the magic tricks.

Whoa...

The sound of the Dharma disc spinning is particularly harsh in this quiet and desolate street.

But Wang Xuan didn't dare to be careless.

Compared to the evil things and enemies that may appear, this kind of thing that can directly affect the soul of a person is even more terrifying, and it may have fallen into some kind of big array.

Whoa... The compass is still turning.

Wang Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart became more and more strange.

Isn't it the influence of the formation?

After a while, the compass was still spinning.

Wang Xuan reluctantly put it away, and ran the candle dragon eye again, and looked around with golden light in his eyes.

I saw that the spiritual veins of this ancient city were also very strange.

The clear qi of the Three Realms rises, and the turbidity qi falls, so most of the earth's veins in the Nine Shadows are sticky, heavy, turbid and gloomy.

Ordinary monks, not to mention cultivation, even if they take a sip, they will be covered with frost and their meridians will freeze.

And in this underworld, the leyline aura is relatively mild, with a touch of gold, and there is the tolerance of the earth.

What's even more strange is that Lingqi lives by moving, even if the Nine Shadows Dragon Veins are scattered, they always flow slowly, but here, the aura seems to be solidified, and it looks lifeless.

Wang Xuan thought for a moment, and on tiptoe he rose into the air and landed on top of a towering tower of a stone hall.

At this glance, I found something strange.

This underworld spirit is neatly divided into areas, and there is a magnificent hall in the center of each area, and the surrounding buildings are surrounded by a ring.

It is arranged with dragon scales, which has the same effect. Layer upon layer, all the way to the end of sight...

Even if Wang Xuan was well-informed, he was shocked at this moment.

Is this a formation, or what?

Wang Xuan thought for a moment and began to explore along the surrounding houses.

This underworld is too old, and every building you enter is empty, with traces of fire on the stone walls, and occasional decaying swords among the thick ashes on the ground.

Whoever lived in the first place had been submerged in the dust of time, and nothing of value had been found.

Before I knew it, I had come to the corner of the street.

Wang Xuan didn't move forward, because this was already the boundary of the dragon scale spirit vein earth.

He stretched out his hand, and the rubble on the ground shot out into the air.

Sure enough, there was a ripple in the air, and the stones disappeared without a trace, leaving nothing on the ground a few meters away.

Wang Xuan suddenly realized.

How could this ancient city not have a formation, otherwise the Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable and the others would have already broken in.

It's just that this formation is too huge, and each area is just a dragon scale, and if you guess correctly, it will be triggered by passing through the border. ….

Thinking of this, he took out the Three Qi Six Instrument Plate again.

This time, the compass finally reacted, but the machine clicked and rotated, and the operation was obscure and difficult, and it took a long time to realize that there was a dead door ahead.

Wang Xuan was not in a hurry, and changed a few directions next to the street corner, but what made him speechless was that not only the three gates of opening, resting, and giving birth were not visible, but even the two gates of Du and Jing were nowhere to be seen, only the door of death and the door of shock.

I've tried everywhere, and it's the same.

With his current cultivation, the kind of place in the top ten forbidden lands of Middle-earth, even if he dies, he dares to be tough

Breaking, but under the tranquility and tranquility of this underworld, there is always a creepy uneasiness.

Even Jin Xian had to be careful, he naturally didn't dare to trespass.

In the end, Wang Xuan finally set his sights on the central hall.

As the regional center of this dragon scale formation, it was the most likely exit, but it seemed to be shrouded in an ominous breath, so he didn't enter.

Now, I have no choice but to take the risk to investigate.

As soon as he arrived here, Wang Xuan raised his vigilance, held the three odds and six ritual plates, ran the candle dragon eye, and slowly walked towards the main hall.

Different from the architecture of Middle-earth, the stone hall buildings in the underworld are more magnificent and tall, with a hint of gloom in their solemnity.

There is no plaque in this hall, stepping on a hundred stone steps, Wang Xuan immediately saw a stone pillar standing at the entrance of the hall, on which the word "back and forth" was written in Yin, and he didn't know what the intention was.

In addition, there are two stone statues guarding the temple, with six wings on the body of the bird, and a human face on the head of the owl, which is the soul hooking bird of the Nine Shadows Messenger!

The door of the temple may have been made of wood, but now it has long since turned into ashes, and it can be seen through the gate that, like other buildings, the furniture and murals inside have long since turned to ashes.

The difference is that there are also two decayed and rusty bronze incense burners of the soul hook bird in the hall, and a statue of the god breaks off from the center and falls to the ground.

The statue of the god is dressed in a luxurious imperial robe, and the eighteen floating pagodas behind it are radioactive to form a giant ***, and at the foot is a lotus platform composed of many evil ghosts and demons, and the carving is lifelike.

There are a lot of pits on it, which should be inlaid with precious spirit runes and spirit stones, and I don't know who picked them all out.

Needless to say, it was the Ghost Emperor of the Three Realms back then, the Emperor of the Seven Evil Northern Yin.

This ghost emperor's face is simple and majestic, his cheeks are long and his beard is awe-inspiring, and his domineering appearance is exposed between his eyebrows, which is actually a human appearance!

This kind of thing is unusual.

In the Three Realms, although there are many human races, all over the world, and even the natives above the Nine Heavens, if you talk about the antiquity of history, they are far inferior to those barbaric ancient races such as the white people and one-eyed.

Many of the great powers in the Three Realms also come from the ancient clans.

But what really shocked Wang Xuan was that this ghost emperor was somewhat similar in appearance to the Emperor of Middle-earth!

What's going on here?

Wang Xuan's brows furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts.

Thinking back to what the emperor did in the illusion, there are indeed all kinds of strange things.

Its origin is mysterious, summoning the Nine Heavens Desert Island to fall into the East China Sea Immortal Islands, and nailing the dragon vein of the Middle Earth Divine Dragon, so that it cannot soar, and the boundless aura nourishes thousands of living beings, and the ancestors of the human race are related to it...

It can be said that he single-handedly opened up Middle-earth.

But judging from the evil thoughts of the three corpses in the underground treasure vault of Southern Xinjiang, the other party should be breaking through the Golden Immortal, far from this kind of groundbreaking power.

Is it a blood relationship? ….

In this way, it can be explained.

The Seven Evil Northern Yin Emperor is rumored to be from the Central Juntian, because he did not ascend to the position of Tianzun, he entered the Nine Shadows in anger and turned into a ghost emperor.

No one knows the exact time of the Emperor's reign, but it can probably be deduced that the time of his disappearance was when the Nine Netherworld Mansion was breached by the Heavenly Court...

Could it be his heir?

A strange thought popped up in Wang Xuan's heart, and then he shook his head slightly.

No matter where the other party came from, it is already ancient.

What is more important at the moment is to survive the Middle-earth Tribulation, and it would be a big trouble to get involved with such a person.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan strode into the main hall.

Call~

As soon as he entered the main hall, the surrounding environment changed dramatically in an instant, the yin wind howled and rolled up dust, and the light became dim at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon he could not reach out and lose his fingers.

Wang Xuan was shocked and hurriedly retreated.

However, there was no gate in the rear, it had long been swallowed up by pitch black, like a void, empty, and there was no landing.

Burst! Burst!

In the darkness, two pale blue flames rose.

If you look closely, it turns out to be the two soul-hooking bird incense burners, I don't know what is burning inside, through the rusty hollow stove lid, in the dark

Darkly dim.

Through this dim and gloomy fire, only the bluestone slabs around the incense burner can be seen.

Wang Xuan only felt that his feet were empty, and he hurriedly rose into the air and landed on the stone slab illuminated by the ghostly fire, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked around.

This situation is all too familiar to him.

It is the path of the revenant soul that has entered the second layer of the Nine Shadows.

The difference is that there is no stone bridge leading to the unknown, only a candle flame that turns into a candlestick in a radius of several feet.

At the same time, the sound of a whisper sounded again in the darkness, as if someone was whispering in his ear...

Wang Xuan's face changed, and he hurriedly draped the Nine Ghost Giant Spirit Leather on his body, and the feeling of drowsiness disappeared.

He looked at the dark void around him, and his eyes became solemn.

Ever since he entered this Nine Netherworld, he has been restricted everywhere, and there are too many things beyond his comprehension, and it is simply difficult to move an inch.

A solution must be found...

At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged, pinched the magic technique, and entered the Star Dou God Tree Illusion Realm.

Sure enough, it's a different story.

He was still at the bottom of the lake at this time, but he had entered the world of the Candle Dragon, like a huge dragon-shaped glass cover, isolating the lake from the water.

And around, there are vine tentacles bent, like a array, like dragon scales, densely arranged into the distance...

At the same time that Wang Xuan suddenly realized, his scalp was numb.

This underworld is really not simple, the candle dragon sun and moon yin and yang array is only on the surface, and secretly it turns the body of the nine shadows god into a formation.

If you guessed correctly, these halls are the teleportation centers leading to the various dragon scale formation areas.

Perhaps, you can even reach the third layer of the Nine Shadows even deeper...

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but be curious about the people who built the Hades Mansion in the first place.

This is equivalent to stealing the power of the innate god.

If the Soul Hook Bird is also used by it to attract the souls of the Three Realms to enter this place, it is the way to steal the sky and enforce the law on behalf of the sky!

No wonder he dared to fight against Heavenly Court.

Suppressing the distractions in his heart, Wang Xuan continued to observe. ….

All the vine tentacles here are arranged in the shape of dragon scales, and it is impossible to see what formation is used, but the center of the formation must be the candlestick in the mouth of the candle dragon.

But that's just the center, ordinary people go back and forth between the various formation areas, and it is impossible for the Ghost Emperor to keep an eye on this matter all the time, and he must have divided part of the rights of the big array.

This is also an extremely clever layout of city defense.

If the Hades are invaded, the Ghost Emperor only needs to use the Seven Evil Towers to close the center, and the enemies will be divided into patches, and no matter how many people can break them one by one.

And now, the formation has been activated again, indicating that even without the center, this part of the function is still functioning normally.

If it were him, he would have to get a warrant or something...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Hurriedly exited the illusion. He turned his head to look the other way.

In the darkness, in addition to the area under his feet, there was also a soul hook bird incense burner on the opposite side, shining a ghostly light, illuminating a field in the void.

Although there is no passtoken, this thing may be the key to breaking the game.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan turned the candle dragon eye and carefully observed the structure of the incense burner.

The exterior of this thing had long since decayed, and it was a stone candlestick in the center of the incense burner, but the size of a palm, and the shape was exactly the same as the candlestick in the candle dragon's mouth.

Click!

Wang Xuan did not hesitate to split the incense burner, held the candlestick in his hand, and the cold flame burned, with his current body of the Liujia God General, he could actually feel the coldness to the bone.

He held the candlestick and leaned forward.

Sure enough, as the light deflected, in the dark void, the bluestone floor appeared again, clean and clean, completely different from the original dusty hall floor.

Wang Xuan took a deep breath and walked forward with the candlestick.

He seems to have returned to the path of the dead soul again, the difference is that this time there is no stone bridge restrictions, and he can go back and forth left and right.

Soon, the soul hooking bird incense burner in the back was on fire

and farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the darkness...

Of course, Wang Xuan is not random to break in.

Every time he walked for a while, he entered the Star Dou God Tree Illusion Realm, and watched the position of the vine tentacle array adjust the direction.

After three incense sticks, at the moment when he stepped into the formation.

Burst!

A ghost fire suddenly lit up, like a beacon in the night.

Wang Xuan's eyes were happy, and he walked forward quickly.

Just as he stepped into the area of the ghostly fire, the wind suddenly blew around him, and the light suddenly brightened, and in the blink of an eye, he had come to another hall.

Wang Xuan looked at the incense burner and thought thoughtfully.

These halls should be able to travel back and forth to each other, but because he used a tricky method, he could only be passively triggered, and it became a one-way journey.

And that's not all.

There is only one candlestick left, and there are dense footprints underground, indicating that someone has already come here and discovered this method.

So many footprints...

Wang Xuan thought about it, according to the intelligence, when the Gouyuan Heavenly King entered the second layer of the Nine Shadows, he brought all the private troops of his Heavenly King's Mansion over, and the battlefield did not appear before.

Not surprisingly, it's these heavenly soldiers.

If you had taken a step earlier, it would have been a big battle.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan strode out of the main hall.

Sure enough, we were in another area.

This is also the periphery, and most of the people living in it are the lower armies of the underworld, and they can't find anything of value. ….

The difference is that it has clearly experienced great wars, more than half of the houses are in ruins, and half of the wreckage of the Heavenly Court floating ship has crashed in the square in front of the temple.

Ho ho!

In the square, the yin wind rose suddenly, and several wolf-headed zombies crawled out of the ruins with blue flames.

Wang Xuan frowned, turned around and left.

There is no point in killing these zombies, the battlefield outside may be decided at any time, and whoever gets the Seven Evil Pagodas will not be good for him.

Call~

The wind was raging in the hall, and Wang Xuan had disappeared without a trace.

Stepping into the Void Road of the Underworld again, Wang Xuan was already handy, and he was much bolder, protecting the candlestick with one hand, and speeding up at the same time, like a streamer cutting through the darkness.

This time, he had a plan in mind, completely abandoned the outer slums, and continued to go deeper into the central area along the dragon's spine line of the underworld.

Three hours later, Wang Xuan stopped.

In front of him is already the area close to the neck of the candle dragon, and the area of the vine tentacle array here is larger, obviously inhabited by the upper layer of the ancient underworld, which is worth exploring.

Familiar with the way to step into the range of the formation.

Burst! Burst!

In the darkness, two ghostly fires rose into the sky.

Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

The two soul hooking bird incense burners here are not only three zhang high, but also maintain the spiritual charm, the golden light is shining, the surface is brilliant, and I don't know what kind of spiritual material it is, it can survive this long time.

A few steps forward, the light brightens.

There is a magnificent hall in front of him, ten people thick towering jade pillars supporting the beams, the glazed dragon around the pillars, the richness of the Lingqi, forming a white mist on the ground, like a fairyland, with a vision...

However, before Wang Xuan could see it clearly, his face changed, he restrained his breath and hid behind the door of the main hall.

Outside, the air was surging, the earthquake was trembling, and there was a maniacal laughter, "Hahaha, you are all going to die!"

Xiao Tu?!

The corners of Wang Xuan's eyes twitched slightly, why is this old monster not dead.

Fighting against him was the private army of the Gouyuan Heavenly King's Mansion, numbering at least tens of thousands, forming a net array in the air, waving flags, and surging five-colored poisonous clouds.

"Array, falling stars!"

There was a shout of rage in the air.

I saw several ballistas rising into the air, the texture was like white jade, and the golden carved dragon was cruising on the surface of the ballista like a living thing, and the spiritual fire was swallowed in the mouth, which was the Heavenly Court Falling Star Crossbow that Wang Xuan had seen.

His face changed.

These days the king's private army is clearly lost

It's not small, the ground is already full of dead bodies, and he dares to use this big killing weapon in anger.

You must know that this thing can disturb the leylines, and if you hit it down, the entire area will be scorched earth.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan rushed to the soul hook bird incense burner without hesitation. After the wind passed, the figure disappeared without a trace.

Such a big movement has been noticed by both sides of the war.

Xiao Tu was already crazy, he didn't care at all, and with a wave of his palm, there were five-colored brilliance rising up in the sky around him, obviously using the killing move that reversed the five elements.

The face of the leader of the private army in the air changed, although he knew that someone had infiltrated, but at this time, he could not care about it.

At the sound of an order, the terrifying star suddenly fell.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the sky and the earth were white...

……

On the other side, Wang Xuan had already appeared in another hall.

He looked into the distance, the Falling Star Crossbow was indeed terrifying, and even though he was separated by two areas, he could still feel the ground tremble under his feet.

He shook his head slightly, a little speechless.

Anyone has a killing move, and when he uses his hole cards, he may not be afraid of those two sides, but when he uses it here, the most afraid is to provoke a large array of candle dragons to counterattack.

Who knows what the consequences will be.

Just in case, or as soon as possible.

He looked around the main hall, it was no different from the main hall of Fangcai, they were all rare treasures, which could be preserved to this day, they were obviously extraordinary things, and they would be dismantled later, just to go to the Nine Heavens to exchange.

The wooden gate of this hall is still intact, and I don't know what kind of spiritual wood it is, it is vermilion, and the surface texture is like dragon scales, exuding a faint fragrance.

Looking out of the door, Wang Xuan was stunned.

Needless to say, the surrounding palace is prosperous, and what surprised him was a statue of Baizhang standing on the square in front of the palace.

Dressed in a rich brocade robe, his face resembles a human form, but he only has one vertical one-eye, and two twisted horns on his forehead.

This is... Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable?!

Wang Xuan was stunned, and a thought popped up in his heart.

It is rumored that the Netherworld Glass Saint Venerable was once one of the ten righteous sons of the Ghost Emperor and was known as the Ghost King.

Why, this is his mansion...
