Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1723: The Meng Po Who Wants to Force-Feed Soup! Meeting the Yin Emperor!
"There is indeed a Meng Po, will she force me to drink the Meng Po Soup?"
Mu Jinyu whispered softly after seeing the silhouette of the old woman.
Although it felt like this wasn't the real Underworld Residence, and that the Meng Po Soup shouldn't have the effect of making people forget their past and present lives after drinking, Mu Jinyu didn't want to gamble with something like that.
He still felt a bit apprehensive deep inside.
"Right, I remember there should be a Three Life Stone by the River of Oblivion, recording a person's past and present lives!"
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu thought of another thing corresponding to the Meng Po Soup, the Three Life Stone.
He wondered what his past life was...
Of course, Mu Jinyu knew that this wasn't the legendary Underworld Residence, and everything inside was different from what he remembered. Even if he saw something through the Three Life Stone, he wasn't sure if it was real, it might be fake, or it was the past life he desired, so that Three Life Stone just showed him a reflection.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu thought it over and decided neither to drink the Meng Po Soup obediently nor to take a look at the Three Life Stone.
He didn't want to shake his beliefs because of that.
Mistaking himself for the reincarnation of the Earth Emperor, or the strongest Human Emperor, or some True Dragon!
This could have a significant impact on a person!
"Let's go and take a look. Once past here, I should be able to find the Yin Emperor Hall, where the Earth Emperor's Tome is probably hidden, right?!"
As Mu Jinyu's thoughts turned, he thought of Qingli, not knowing if she was still alive. Did she solve the corpses of the Four Great Divine Beasts and was rushing this way, or had she exhausted herself in battle and died?
"If possible, don't waste time, subdue the Earth Emperor's Tome early, and save her life!"
Mu Jinyu said softly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Although Qingli previously threatened him by grabbing his neck, forcing him to let her go, Mu Jinyu didn't really dislike her and quite admired her dedication to battle.
Although he couldn't do it himself, the existence of such people wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
With a slight shake of his head, Mu Jinyu decided not to think more about these things and straightened his steps, set upon the Naihe Bridge. Soon, the sound of clattering footsteps echoed as Mu Jinyu crossed the nearly fifty-meter-long bridge.
"Whew whew..."
While crossing, he faintly heard a whispering voice, familiar and peculiar, like the voices of Gu Xiyan and Mei Yinxue, or maybe Xiang Mantang was calling for his help, making his heart involuntarily tense up.
"This ghostly thing is quite good at disrupting people!"
Mu Jinyu suppressed all sorts of thoughts, cursed softly, and looked forward.
At this moment, having crossed the Naihe Bridge, the other side was no longer shrouded in that strange mist, allowing a clear view of the scene there.
He saw the lost souls who had crossed the Naihe Bridge became much clearer in form, then walked towards the Homeward-Viewing Platform.
The Homeward-Viewing Platform was not at all the shape made of yellow mounds he had vaguely seen earlier.
It was made up of countless corpse mud, with some broken fingers, bloody nails, and black sinister long hair still visible…
It looked exceptionally eerie.
And standing atop the Homeward-Viewing Platform was Meng Po, her face aged, covered with countless wrinkles like dried orange peel. As she slowly scooped a bowl of Yellow Soup from a wooden bucket beside her, she revealed a sinister evil smile as she handed it to the specters climbing the platform.
On closer inspection, Mu Jinyu found that the Yellow Soup she scooped out was filled with dead skin, broken bones, and crawling worms, making his scalp tingle.
Is this the Meng Po Soup?
No wonder it made people forget their past and present lives; it turns them into idiots!
Mu Jinyu had never planned to try the Meng Po Soup, and now that he saw its appearance, he was even less willing to drink it.
At this time, the specter had already gulped down the Meng Po Soup handed by Meng Po, and its form began to distort. After putting down the broken bowl, it dazedly walked forward.
Its form flickered for a moment and then disappeared right in front of them.
It was unclear whether it died directly or reincarnated in another way!
"Young man, where are you going?!"
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to pass the Homeward-Viewing Platform and continue onward, Meng Po suddenly spoke, warmly asking him.
"Hmm?!"
Hearing this, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but stop his footsteps, turning to look at Meng Po.
He didn't expect her to be able to speak!
Mu Jinyu had encountered many lost souls, Yin soldiers, and others here, but none had consciousness. Only this Meng Po displayed awareness and could talk to him.
"Oh, I'm going to chat with the Yin Emperor, nothing much, carry on with your work, uh…"
An astonished look flashed in Mu Jinyu's eyes; he casually explained to Meng Po, showcasing a leader-like demeanor, and continued to move forward.
"Boom boom boom!!"
"Woo woo woo..."
However, he hadn't walked far before seeing his front, back, left, and right were suddenly filled with icy gusts, ghostly and oppressive, as countless specters blocked his path!
"Eh, Meng Po, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing so many specters appear, naturally bringing a surge of pressure, Mu Jinyu felt it would be hard to progress and turned back to glance at Meng Po, softly asking.
"If you don't drink this old woman's soup, don't think about moving forward!"
Meng Po said sinisterly, lowering her head to ladle more soup!
Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows and said, "Your soup is too yellow, like urine, I'm afraid to drink it, you should drink it yourself!"
"Slurp!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Meng Po actually took a sip herself, and instantly, the dead skin, nails, and worms in the Yellow Soup disappeared. The previous yellow hue turned clear, looking like a refreshing soup.
"Here, young man, can you drink it now?"
Meng Po said with a bizarre smile, and her figure bypassed the countless specters, coming to Mu Jinyu, and held the bowl out to his lips.
Almost pushing the edge of the bowl into Mu Jinyu's mouth, trying to force-feed him the soup!
"Damn!"
Mu Jinyu couldn't possibly drink such a lousy soup. Though the color changed and there were no dead skins or worms, any sensible person still wouldn't drink it, right?
With an angry curse, Mu Jinyu, prepared secretly before, vigorously activated the cultivation method of the "Bone Tempering Section," forcefully summoning the Bone Dragon hidden within him!
"Roar!!"
Instantly, an imposing, resonant dragon roar echoed, and the Bone Dragon shot out from Mu Jinyu's body, fiercely striking the Dead Witch holding the Meng Po Soup toward him!
"Ah!"
"This is..."
Meng Po, witnessing the Bone Dragon's emergence and feeling its suffocating presence, couldn't help her complexion from shifting drastically, showing a look of alarm and veneration. But before she could finish speaking, her body was directly pierced through by the Bone Dragon, and with a bang, she shattered and turned into countless fragmented souls, dissipating by the River of Oblivion!
"Roar!!"
Following this, the Bone Dragon swept its tail, and the myriad of ghosts surrounding Mu Jinyu were either blasted into smithereens or fleeing in panic!
Mu Jinyu saw that the Earth Emperor Bone Qi could indeed deal with these evil spirits, finally relaxing a bit, and then, riding the Bone Dragon, skipped looking at the Three Life Stone and continued charging forward!
Soon enough, the Bone Dragon carried Mu Jinyu to the front of a magnificent hall.
"Creak!"
"Boom!"
As they approached, the great door of the hall, with an inscribed plaque "Yin Emperor Hall," automatically swung open to the sides, revealing the dimly lit interior furnishings.
Inside sat a blurry figure, wearing a crown, seated upon a Dragon Throne, holding a scroll-like object in hand.
Upon closer inspection, the scroll he held unfolding seemed to be made from human skin or some creature's entire back skin!
—The Earth Emperor's Tome!
