"This is Zombie Poison Gu?"

Before a pile of scattered white bones, Luo Chen slowly stood up.

Looking at the Gu insect in his hand, he revealed a look of surprise.

This underworld was almost no different from the legendary Netherworld.

A large number of cultivators and demonic beasts died unjustly here, and their resentment could not be vented, eventually forming a place of extreme Yin over time.

So much so that after these creatures died for thousands of years, they naturally grew into various ghosts and zombies.

Along the way, Luo Chen had seen countless White Zombies and Black Zombies.

He just hadn't expected that there would even be Hairy Zombies comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators here.

Hairy Zombies have undergone hundreds of years of cultivation and precipitation, with tough fur growing on their decayed flesh, and their bones becoming like steel.

They are agile, extremely fast in escaping, have astonishing defensive power, and do not fear the true fire of cultivators; they are a terrifying existence even in the cultivation world.

Of course, in front of Luo Chen, who could be called the top existence in the human world, they were naturally not worth looking at, and could be destroyed with a flip of his hand.

What surprised Luo Chen was that there would actually be Zombie Poison Gu parasitizing these zombies.

Zombies and ghosts in other continents would not have such things.

"Is this also a method of the great power Yin-Dan Yangzi before he fell?"

From the Jin Lion Second Ancestor Kuang Nanzi, Luo Chen had obtained some simple information about this realm.

He knew how unwilling and crazy Yin-Dan Yangzi was before he sat down.

He implanted various Gu insects into the bodies of living cultivators and demonic beasts, raising Gu with living beings, and even reversed it, planting living Gu on dead objects, attempting to reverse the state of life and death.

Because of this, a large number of strange creatures were left in this Netherworld Mountain.

Hairy Zombies were just the most insignificant kind among them.

"As long as I don't encounter a Flying Yaksha, it will be fine."

Luo Chen muttered, and casually put the Zombie Poison Gu into his storage ring.

This was a good thing; after being swallowed and refined by the Hundred Poison King Gu, it would release a large amount of Zombie Poison to temper the physical body.

As the most powerful kind of Flying Zombie, a Flying Yaksha naturally might give birth to a more powerful Zombie Poison Gu, but such an existence was not easy to deal with.

Luo Chen had no intention of provoking it, so he deliberately avoided some places that emitted powerful auras.

Following the traces left by Master Li Tian and his group, he changed his aura and pursued them closely.

When encountering sudden situations, he also cut the Gordian knot, solving them instantly.

The distance between the two sides was constantly closing.

"Qi... Luo Chen has caught up."

Marquis Ziyi said with an unnatural expression.

The crowd was stunned, somewhat disbelieving.

Only Master Li Tian had an "as expected" look.

"This personality of seeking revenge for every grievance, it really is him." Master Li Tian muttered, recalling the destruction of the Five Elements Divine Sect, a top Nascent Soul sect in the Eastern Wasteland, from the intelligence.

Afterward, he looked at Granny Hongye.

She nodded slightly, "I have left five large and small formations, enough to trap and strangle him, without affecting our subsequent plans."

"Strangle?" Master Li Tian shook his head; he didn't quite believe this, but as long as it could trap him for a while, it would be enough.

Looking into the distance, a gloomy palace appeared in his field of vision.

"The Yin-Yang Grave is almost here. Hongye, I'll trouble you with the rest."

Granny Hongye's eyes lit up, and her wrinkled face almost smoothed out.

"The formation of the Yin-Yang Grave is left to me, but if there really is a Ten Thousand Formation Gu, then this Gu must be distributed to me according to the agreement!"

Master Li Tian nodded, "I won't take any of the harvest outside the grave; it depends on everyone's own ability!"

When he said this, he also took out several jade boxes from his storage ring.

"Marquis Ziyi, this is the Blood-Transforming Gu promised to you!"

Marquis Ziyi took it with some anticipation; with this Gu, even if he didn't get the orthodox cultivation method of the Blood Sea lineage of the Yuanmo Sect, he could still learn the Blood-Transforming Art.

In his ears, Master Li Tian's exhortation also came.

"If Luo Chen kills his way in, I hope you can block him for a while."

Marquis Ziyi hesitated, then looked at the jade box in his hand and nodded heavily.

"I will not fail the commission!"

The others also received similar rewards.

This trip to the Yin-Yang Remnant Realm was different from a normal secret realm exploration; it was a team Master Li Tian had put together using his own connections.

For this trip, he had prepared a lot and paid a lot.

Now, it was just a matter of delivering the rewards in person.

Relatively speaking, if it weren't for needing Luo Chen to exert great effort in breaking the door, the Hundred Poison King Gu wouldn't have been handed over to him so early.

After everything was ready, Master Li Tian and Granny Hongye entered the gloomy and illusory palace group together.

Only four people remained outside.

After looking at each other, they each found a position to guard.

"Is this the backup plan left by Granny Hongye?"

In a mountain stream where spiritual light flickered, Luo Chen stood in the middle, revealing a look of realization.

The formation here was completely different in style from the other incomplete formations in the Netherworld Mountain.

Those formations were less about blocking external enemies and more about trapping the research subjects of the original Yin-Dan Yangzi, like individual prisons.

It was just that as time passed, those formations gradually became incomplete, and the trapped research subjects ran out, becoming the ghosts and zombies everywhere today.

And the formation under his feet was exceptionally complete, and its intent to kill was extremely strong.

Facing the thousands of blade lights and sword shadows, Luo Chen turned a blind eye.

Golden light flashed in his eyes, he stepped on the Moon Step, and his figure suddenly appeared in one place, pointing with his finger.

"Break!"

*Crack, crack* sounds suddenly came.

Thousands of blade lights and sword shadows fell like rain, and the true terrain here was instantly reproduced.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, "To be able to set up such a Fourth-Rank formation in a hurry, Granny Hongye's formation attainments are indeed extraordinary. However, it's still far from enough to trap me."

In the palace group, the busy Granny Hongye suddenly paused.

Master Li Tian, who was on the side, frowned, "What's wrong?"

Granny Hongye spat out a mouthful of turbid air, "Nothing, it's just that one of the five formations I left behind was broken again, and it was the one known as the heaviest in killing intent, the Blade and Spear Formation."

Master Li Tian was stunned.

Broken again?

"Counting it up, this is the fourth one!"

Granny Hongye nodded, "Indeed, it's the fourth one. I didn't expect Luo Chen's formation attainments to be so outstanding, completely not inferior to mine. The formations set up in a hurry had too many flaws... I underestimated him."

Indeed underestimated.

But who could have thought that Luo Chen, who was peerless in body-refining, had outstanding ability in Daoist arts, and was known as a Grandmaster of Alchemy, could also have such attainments in formations?

Granny Hongye took a deep breath, "But it doesn't matter, he definitely won't be able to break the fifth formation that easily. If he doesn't break it, he can't come over; if he breaks it, he can't come over even more!"

Master Li Tian frowned, "The one you spent a short while specifically setting up?"

Granny Hongye smiled proudly, "That Spirit-Trapping Formation wasn't originally set up for him, but if he wants to break in, let him stay there!"

After speaking, she ignored the matters behind her and focused on testing the reaction of the formation in front of her.

Master Li Tian glanced behind him subconsciously, and his heart settled down.

If Luo Chen was trapped inside, that would be for the best.

After taking out the things in the Yin-Yang Grave, he would then deal with him!

Vast mudflats, nowhere to step.

A figure, like a flying swallow, crisscrossed.

But after a long time, he returned to the original spot.

Luo Chen frowned, his red-eyed golden pupils scanning the surroundings, wanting to see the flaws of this formation.

But as far as the eye could see, they were all flaws!

"This formation is truly impossible to start with!"

General formations have more or less one or two weak points; breaking them would affect the natural operation of the formation, and the trapped person could naturally escape.

But too many flaws instead became a major obstacle for the formation breaker.

"Is it a blindfold, or is it intentional?"

Luo Chen hesitated.

Once he made a move, it would easily trigger a chain reaction.

If he triggered the ambush point that the other party deliberately left behind as a fake flaw, he would be in trouble.

"Need to test it, but can't test it personally!"

Luo Chen thought for a moment, and his heart moved.

A black light emerged from his left arm, gradually coiling around his left shoulder.

Hei Wang saw this posture and felt depressed.

But under Luo Chen's piercing gaze, it had to move.

"Rest assured, I will protect you at the critical moment."

Hei Wang couldn't be at ease, but when it came to it, it had to bite the bullet.

Gritting its teeth, it directly followed Luo Chen's thoughts and slammed into a piece of mudflat on the ground.

*Boom! *

With one collision, mud surged into the sky, and a water column rose from the ground.

Under the washing of the water column, the originally dim sky suddenly brightened.

Luo Chen was stunned, "This formation is broken?"

Hei Wang turned a circle in the swamp, depressed, "Master, you just think too much; why not just break the formation directly?"

Luo Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

He didn't expect that the formation left by Granny Hongye was a "suspicious formation" specifically set up for smart people.

In such a formation, the more you think, the easier it is to be tied up.

Like Hei Wang's brute force...

"No!"

Luo Chen seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed instantly, and he struck out, grabbing Hei Wang.

Hei Wang was still ignorant, but the next moment, the mud pool beneath it suddenly released large patches of black mist.

The black mist condensed into ghost hands, grabbing at Hei Wang.

"My mom!"

Hei Wang let out a strange cry, its body twisted, wanting to dodge, but it was still entangled by the ghost hands.

Just then, Luo Chen's Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw broke through the mist.

He grabbed Hei Wang and pulled it out.

"Come out!"

Under the addition of majestic force, Hei Wang screamed in pain and was pulled out alive.

In the mud pool, a large amount of mist lost its target and seemed somewhat anxious.

"Inhale..."

A huge breathing sound was heard, and the sky full of black mist suddenly retracted.

Deep in the mud pool, a creature slowly opened its eyes.

Just as it opened them, its wings soared into the air, lifting it into the sky, and a pair of ruthless black eyes stared fixedly at the man opposite.

"Hiss, it's a zombie!" Hei Wang shouted, still screaming in pain from the claw marks on its body.

Looking at the monster with wings spread, whose shadow almost covered the earth, Luo Chen's mood was somewhat heavy.

This was not as simple as an ordinary zombie.

Wings on its back, ghost mist permeating, and even karmic fire rising.

This was the most powerful existence among Flying Zombies, a Flying Yaksha!

If judged by realm, it was comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.

Especially that physical body, which possessed extremely strong spiritual energy defense, and could be called immune to all laws!

Sure enough, the backup plan set up by Granny Hongye was not that simple.

Setting up a suspicious formation to consume his time and energy was not enough, and she even secretly set up a Spirit-Summoning Formation.

While breaking this suspicious formation, it inevitably awakened the Flying Yaksha sleeping deep underground.

Such a peerless fierce object, once born, whose anger and malice it would vent on was self-evident.

"Hu... man..." The Flying Yaksha stared at Luo Chen, making two difficult sounds from its mouth.

Luo Chen, whose expression had been gloomy, suddenly smiled.

"Hongye, if you think you can trap me with just one Flying Yaksha, then you think too simply."

Luo Chen didn't have any movements, but his robes fluttered without wind.

A wisp of golden light slowly emerged from behind him.

Luo Chen, whose expression was originally gloomy, suddenly laughed.

A loud cry rang out instantly.

A fire phoenix soared into the sky.

It was not a spell, but the manifestation of the Nirvana Sacred Fire!

Once this fire appeared, the Flying Yaksha, full of malice, clearly showed a look of shrinking on its face.

Without saying anything, without doing anything, it fell to the ground without hesitation and submerged into the vast Netherworld Mountain.

Flying and escaping, immune to all laws, it was indeed the best among Flying Zombies, a Flying Yaksha!

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He put away the Nirvana Sacred Fire.

Hei Wang was a bit regretful, "That guy just wanted to eat me; Master, why don't you teach it a lesson?"

Luo Chen glanced at it, and Hei Wang shrank its head.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "This thing is not much of a threat to me, but to completely solve it would be very time-consuming. At the moment, I have no intention of tangling with it."

The strength of a Flying Yaksha lies in its immunity to spells and its physical body that can withstand magic treasures.

It is indeed very tricky for ordinary Great Cultivators to encounter, and they might even have no way to start.

But for Luo Chen, whose body-refining realm was already strong, it was just a physical fight.

But that would take too long.

Since that was the case, why not use the Nirvana Sacred Fire, which restrains ghost mist, to intimidate it and scare it away, keeping things simple.

"On the old land of the Mingyuan Sect, the Sacred Fire suppresses the sea, and all ghosts are not allowed to come out, which shows that the Nirvana Sacred Fire has a restraining effect in this regard. Now that I've experimented with it, it's indeed the case."

With a shift of thought, Luo Chen's deep gaze fell into the distance.

"Master Li Tian, how many more methods do you have to stop me?"

Outside the Yin-Yang Grave.

Two figures stood together, chatting in low voices.

After a while, they flew toward the vicinity.

"Master Li Tian, how many more methods do you have to block me?"

Marquis Ziyi didn't want to deal with this person; the people of the White Bone Sect had extreme personalities, and it was best not to provoke them if possible.

He just walked toward Meng Shentong.

However, before he could get close, a bone spur suddenly emerged from the ground.

"What do you mean?" Marquis Ziyi frowned, "I have something to discuss with Fellow Daoist Meng; it has nothing to do with you, right!"

Bai Xuanjun said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Meng is recovering his magic power and must not be disturbed."

Marquis Ziyi was stunned, "On the way here, Meng Shentong didn't exert much effort; what magic power does he need to recover?"

On the side, the Master of the Hidden Sword Tower suddenly flicked his hand, and a wisp of sword Qi shot out.

*Puff! *

Meng Shentong, who was meditating and resting, shattered like a bubble.

Seeing this scene, Marquis Ziyi's expression changed.

"Where did Meng Shentong go?"

Under his questioning, Bai Xuanjun slowly stood up.

A bone sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Marquis Ziyi faced a formidable enemy, his whole body trembling with purple light, "What are you going to do?"

Bai Xuanjun ignored him and just looked up toward the direction they came from.

"Instead of being curious about where Meng Shentong went, the two of you should think about how to deal with that one from the Eastern Wasteland!"

Wind and clouds gathered, and the ghost energy dissipated.

A black figure appeared suddenly.

Standing high in the sky, he looked down at the three people below with a calm expression.

"Are you trying to stop me?"

"Instead of being curious about where Meng Shentong went, you two should think about how to deal with that one from the Eastern Wasteland!"

Wind and clouds gathered, ghost aura retreated.

A black figure appeared abruptly.

Standing high in the sky, looking down at the three people below with a calm expression.

"You want to stop me?"
