Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor
Chapter 1126 - 279: Demon Suppressing Stele
Netherworld Palace, a man stands tall and handsome, his Purple Gold Divine Robe flowing with his long, dark hair draping to his waist.
"Realm God, recently, the forces from the Eight Prefectures of Netherworld are secretly converging towards the area near West Wei Gate," a Skull Soldier reported.
"You may leave," the man said, a flash of sharp light passing beneath his slender eyes.
After the Skull Soldier withdrew, he flipped his palm, and a Crystal Ball appeared in his hand.
Within the Crystal Ball, a beautiful female Mage was mingled within the crowd.
On her back lay a languid pink Demon Beast, looking sleepy.
"Ghost King Cave, is it? After all these years, it’s finally come to pass?" The Netherworld God vanished, leaving only an empty Netherworld Palace.
Elsewhere in the Netherworld, near West Wei Gate, Yun Sheng and the people from Bai Ren Sect were journeying day and night.
"Achoo! Bo Bo, that uneasy feeling is back. My dear master, Bo Bo has a very ominous premonition about this place," Bo Bo’s wool stood upright as that eerie sense of being watched returned.
Bo Bo’s black bean eyes flickered non-stop, something seemed off, the closer he got to the area near West Wei Gate, the more uneasy he felt.
Bo Bo thought carefully, yes, it must be because they were getting closer to the Netherworld Palace; the feeling was like that strange fellow could appear at any moment.
Yun Sheng, Ying Yue, Ying Chuan, and others, led by more than ten disciples from Bai Ren Sect, were heading towards Ghost Water Creek.
"Ghost Water Creek is near West Wei Gate; the Evil Qi here is much heavier than in usual places, Bo Bo, you are probably not used to it," Ying Yue’s affection for Bo Bo increased significantly after reconciling with Yun Sheng.
Who can blame Bo Bo for his face that makes women swoon with heart eyes?
However, Bo Bo was very proud; aside from Yun Sheng and the Gold Coin next to her, no one else was allowed to touch him.
After witnessing Bo Bo’s Super Strength one night, Ying Yue dared not provoke him.
"Speak of this, will there really be ghosts near West Wei Gate? How are these ghosts different from humans?" Yun Sheng was most curious about the ghosts of West Wei Gate.
Before coming to the Netherworld, Yun Sheng had always assumed she would see ghosts all over in the Netherworld. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Yun Sheng was an atheist before coming to Wuji Continent, but her worldview was overturned after arriving.
The continent indeed had many inexplicable things.
Yet since arriving in the Netherworld, she hadn’t seen a single ghost; upon inquiry, she learned that those taken to the Netherworld, the souls of those who cannot reincarnate, would be eternally imprisoned at West Wei Gate.
Unlike East Wei Gate, West Wei Gate is not truly a "gate" but rather a Magic Stele.
It’s a massive Demon Suppressing Stele, reportedly towering three thousand meters, five hundred meters wide, etched with countless ghost names.
It’s unclear who built the Demon Suppressing Stele, but it has been there since the existence of the Netherworld.
Since the Netherworld’s existence, tens of thousands of years ago, countless human ghost souls were brought to the Netherworld, sealed in the Stele.
Their ultimate fate is to be suppressed within the Demon Suppressing Stele.
Most of these Ghost Souls were filled with resentment in the Human World and would become Resentful Evils if left too long, causing havoc in the Netherworld.
However, used properly, they could support the Dark Power of the Netherworld, providing the whole Netherworld with continuous energy.
Thus, the Demon Suppressing Stele is crucially supporting the entire Netherworld. Therefore, the area near West Wei Gate is the most heavily guarded place, with many Netherworld Soldiers guarding the Netherworld Palace.
The Ghost King Cave located in Ghost Water Creek is merely fifty miles away from West Wei Gate.
The outside world also suspected that the Netherworld Ghost King established the Ghost King Cave at Ghost Water Creek, not just to absorb the Dark Power from the Demon Suppressing Stele, but also as a provocation to the Netherworld God.
"The ghosts of West Wei Gate can neither reincarnate nor pass on; they will eternally remain within the Magic Array at West Wei Gate until they dissipate. It’s quite pitiful indeed," Ying Yue once visited near West Wei Gate.
She only saw a towering stele, around which four Netherworld Winged Demon Beasts under the Netherworld God guarded.
Inside the stele, ghostly screams echoed night and day, imprisoning countless Ghost Souls.
"Only it’s a pity we must hurry to Ghost Water Creek, otherwise I’d really be curious to see what was inside the Demon Suppressing Stele," Yun Sheng was intrigued by the stele.
On their journey to Ghost Water Creek, they encountered many from various factions.
It seemed the news of a Sub-God Level Demon Beast about to break through had reached everyone’s ears.
Yun Sheng and Bai Ren Sect traveled day and night, finally reaching Ghost Water Creek after three days.
To avoid alarming the Sub-God Level Demon Beast, each faction set up camp ten miles away.
"Yun Sheng, look, even Wanyan Sect’s people are here, and it’s Wan Tianchou himself leading the team," Ying Yue noticed a group of disciples from Wanyan Sect near Ghost Water Creek.
From Ci Hu, Ying Yue and others learned that Wanyan Sect’s leader Wan Tianchou was in closed cultivation, only to emerge early for this Ghost King Cave excursion.
Yun Sheng sized up Wan Tianchou, who, compared to Ci Lie, was more robust and likely mid-stage Martial God.
Wan Tianchou also noticed Ying Yue and others.
"Master, that’s the scum from Bai Ren Sect," the blood feud between Wanyan Sect and Bai Ren Sect had long been established, their troops glaring red with rage at each other.
Wan Tianchou also glared, though he was more cautious than the disciples.
He immediately noticed that among the Bai Ren Sect’s people, was an unfamiliar face.
That was Yun Sheng, what drew Wan Tianchou’s attention more was Yun Sheng beside a golden-colored Demon Beast with a heavy punishment mark.
"Such a fierce beast!" Even Wan Tianchou, renowned for his wickedness in the Netherworld, was secretly shocked upon seeing the gold beast brimming with hostility.
Wan Tianchou had long wondered how Ying Hai of Ci Lie and Wanyan Sect’s elite were slaughtered overnight by that old fox.
Now seeing the golden beast, he suddenly understood; clearly, the female Mage and the fierce beast were key players.
If he wished to strike Bai Ren Sect, he must first deal with that one person and beast.
