The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 485 - 484 Netherworld Guide

Chapter 485: Chapter 484 Netherworld Guide

"Sister, are we going to die?"

Zhou Bingyi hid in Zhou Youwei’s arms, showing a look of fear.

Outside the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion, the chilling wind howled, and Zhou Bingyi even saw one ghostly shadow after another flitting by.

Indeed!

She truly saw them.

Ever since Ye Xuan had taught her the "Heavenly Spirit Book", she had been able to see some bizarre things.

For example, the aura above everyone’s head, in various colors.

She could also see how people gathered the Power of Heaven and Earth and even perceive others’ souls.

At this moment, Emperor Immortal Sect had become a Half-Yin World, attracting many spirits, which Zhou Bingyi could clearly see.

Zhou Youwei gently patted Zhou Bingyi’s back and softly spoke, "Don’t worry, it’s a minor issue."

But in Zhou Youwei’s ice-blue eyes, there was a hint of concern.

She was well aware of the terror involved in the Life Extension Technique.

And the one performing it was her husband, Ye Xuan.

This was what worried her the most.

"Sister, I feel like you’re becoming more and more like brother-in-law," Zhou Bingyi suddenly remarked.

"Ah?" Zhou Youwei was taken aback, "In what way?"

"In the way you speak," Zhou Bingyi scrunched up her cute nose, "That stinky brother-in-law, no matter what happens, is always so unruffled, as if nothing’s troubling him, and now you’ve started doing the same."

"Is that so..." Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but purse her lips and chuckle.

Zhou Bingyi nodded vigorously, "Very similar!"

Zhou Youwei shook her head, "Your brother-in-law is much more capable than your sister; what he has is confidence."

"Not good!"

At that moment, Zhou Bingyi suddenly screamed in terror, diving under the quilt and crying out in a terrified voice, "Sister, a ghost is coming in!"

Clang!

Zhou Youwei’s right hand grasped at the void, and the Divine Sun Sword appeared directly in her hand.

Ssssssh————

Zhou Youwei swept her sword horizontally.

A Fiery Flame Sword Qi immediately burst forth in the air and shot through the void.

Then, a pitiful wail was heard, followed by the emergence of a puff of green smoke.

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes contained a murderous look as she vigilantly surveyed the world outside the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion.

Zhou Bingyi stuck her head out from under the quilt and sighed with relief, "It’s okay, it’s okay, Sister killed it."

Zhou Youwei withdrew her gaze, watching the green smoke dissipate, and whispered, "That ghost had no cultivation; there’s no need to be afraid."

Zhou Bingyi said with a pitiful look, "But it looked so frightful; it almost ate me in one bite."

Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but roll her eyes, reassuringly saying in a gentle voice, "You’re now at the Earth Element realm after all, able to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth."

"Oh, that’s right, I’m a prince now, aren’t I!" Zhou Bingyi seemed to have just realized it.

Zhou Youwei shook her head and laughed.

This silly little sister.

Such incidents had not occurred elsewhere.

Others could not see these spirits either; they could only feel the chilling wind blowing.

Everyone stayed safe at home, refraining from wandering outside.

But as time passed, the entire Emperor Immortal Sect was completely enveloped in darkness; although it wasn’t so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, it was comparable to the onset of night.

You should know that it was the middle of the day.

The sun should be high in the sky.

But now, not a trace of sunlight could be seen.

Hum————

As the Dark Invasion swept in, a road slowly emerged into visibility.

The road was dull yellow, emanating an air of despair.

That dull yellow road seemed to rise up from the end of the darkness.

Upon that road, there were two people, carrying chains as they came, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

No!

Not walking!

But floating!

Floating toward the Mountain Gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Those two people, one dressed in black and one in white.

The faces of both were deadly pale, looking like corpses.

On their bodies, there was not the slightest hint of the breath of the living.

"Could those be the Netherworld Guides?" Zhou Zihuang, on the peak of Emperor Peak, muttered as he looked at the two figures.

Jiang Jing stood behind Zhou Zihuang, feeling an icy chill in her body and her eyes full of reverence.

The legendary Netherworld Guides.

Could they truly exist?!

And to think he arrived treading the Netherworld Road, heading straight for the Emperor Immortal Sect!

That feeling was simply too dreadful.

Jiang Jing had never experienced such a feeling in his life.

Mu Baicheng held the Black God Spear in his hand, standing like a War God, his tiger eyes filled with a cold murderous intent.

"They call themselves Netherworld Guides, but they are just creatures roaming between the Underworld and the mortal world, unworthy of the title ’human.’ Calling them ’Underworld Hounds’ would be more accurate," Mu Baicheng thought to himself with a cold snort.

He had heard about such matters from his master in his early years.

He truly held no affection for these so-called Netherworld Guides.

He was not afraid of such beings either.

Eating the food of the mortal world, handling the matters of the Underworld.

Who would fear such creatures?

It’s already remarkable he hadn’t cursed them out.

At the Mountain Gate, Li Kuangtu, who was sitting cross-legged on the steps, slowly stood up, his explosive muscles bulged, emitting an aura of iron-blooded slaughter.

Li Kuangtu’s hands hung at his waist, his face bearing a trace of madness.

At that moment, the sound of a Yin bell suddenly rang out in the sky.

The Soul Summoning Bell.

The Soul Hook.

The standard equipment of a Netherworld Guide.

When the Soul Summoning Bell rang and the Soul Hook was pulled, those of the mortal world would leave it behind, henceforth becoming beings of the Underworld.

As the Soul Summoning Bell tolled, a black and a white figure, both Netherworld Guides, floated before the Mountain Gate. The one clad in black spoke slowly:

"Emperor Immortal Sect’s Lv Tiangang, Cao Jianchun, and Zhou Chaolong, your mortal lifespans have ended; it is time to enter the Underworld."

"Our sect is closed. Those who intrude will be killed without mercy."

Li Kuangtu spoke slowly, revealing his fierce white teeth.

It was less a warning than a provocation.

Atop Emperor Peak, Mu Baicheng, standing with his spear, couldn’t help but bitterly smile upon seeing the scene and said, "Was it really a good idea for the Ye Xuan Sect to let that guy guard the Mountain Gate?"

Zhou Zihuang, also watching Li Kuangtu from afar, smiled faintly and said, "In this matter, there is no question of right or wrong."

Li Kuangtu’s words did not anger the two Netherworld Guides; they maintained their deadpan expressions and spoke again:

"Prolonging life against the Heavenly Dao, one shall invite divine retribution."

"So... you want to fight then?" Li Kuangtu bared his teeth in a ferocious grin, eager for the challenge.

The young master had instructed him to drive away such individuals upon sight.

How to drive them away was up to him.

The Netherworld Guide dressed in black, with the Soul Summoning Bell at his waist and the Soul Hook in hand, shifted his gaze slightly, landing on Li Kuangtu: "This place has already become a Half-Yin World, do you wish to bury everyone here?"

Crackling——

As soon as the Netherworld Guide’s words fell, a popping sound, like beans being fried, erupted from inside Li Kuangtu.

Immediately after, his whole body charged forward like a fierce tiger.

Just based on that guy’s words, there was no need for any further talk!

"Huh?!"

The two Netherworld Guides clearly didn’t expect Li Kuangtu to be such a tough nut to crack, completely ignoring their threats and charging straight at them!

"Since you so insist on seeking death, then you can’t blame anyone else," the black-clad Netherworld Guide scoffed, and the Soul Summoning Bell at his waist shook violently.

When the Yin bell rang, Li Kuangtu’s form, which had been charging forward, suddenly paused, seemingly affected.

However, before the Netherworld Guide could react, Li Kuangtu, who had momentarily halted, rushed forward with even greater speed.

Bang!

A loud noise rang out as the black-clad Netherworld Guide was sent flying backward.

A stream of black blood spilled from his mouth!

The Netherworld Guide dressed in white beside him suddenly changed color, looking incredulously at Li Kuangtu.

It must be known that the Netherworld Guides have the power to travel between the Underworld and the mortal world, and so they wield unimaginable strength to ordinary people.

If they wish, they could transform themselves into beings of the Underworld, making attacks from those of the mortal world ineffective against them.

But now, Li Kuangtu had sent his companion flying with a single punch, which was beyond his imagination.

"This guy, he’s a War Demon Inheritance carrier!" The Netherworld Guide who was punched by Li Kuangtu said with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

After taking a punch, this person finally started to look a bit human, no longer appearing as if half-alive, half-dead as before.

"A War Demon Inheritance carrier? No wonder he is unfathomable!" The Netherworld Guide in white narrowed his eyes, retreating willingly.

Seeing this person retreating, Li Kuangtu was about to pursue further, but stopped upon hearing Ye Xuan’s command, and impatiently said, "A bunch of half-dead cretins, get lost."

"Dare to come again, and I won’t hesitate to twist off your heads to use as my night pot."

Li Kuangtu grinned and said.

Just as before.

A seeming warning, yet truly a challenge.

This was Li Kuangtu.

He couldn’t wait to fight with these beings.

However, due to Ye Xuan’s orders, he couldn’t be too direct, otherwise it would be difficult to explain himself.
