Chapter 664: Fengdu Cheng

Zhuanlun Wang led the way, with Jialouluo and Jiemie Heshang walking in the middle, while Jiufang Yi and the others followed closely by Zhang Nuo's side, constantly using Sound Transmission to learn about this True Immortal!

Zhang Nuo gave a rough explanation; after all, the moment Jialouluo's true strength was restored, even he was caught completely off guard! Everyone was very cautious, terrified that one wrong word would provoke him!

In truth, the one feeling most miserable was Zhuanlun Wang. He had thought that by bringing a True Immortal here, he would help them open the passage to the True Immortal Realm, but he hadn't expected Jialouluo's strength to be so far above their own—he could practically wipe them all out with a casual wave of his hand! This time, they had suffered a huge loss; they had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, and he didn't know how this would end!

As they flew forward, Zhuanlun Wang didn't even dare to use Sound Transmission with Pingdeng Wang and the others, fearing that Jialouluo would notice and become dissatisfied!

Zhang Nuo also felt uneasy at this moment. When Jialouluo had learned about the affairs of the Underworld, the look of extreme joy on his face suggested he was brewing some kind of plan, but Zhang Nuo had no idea what it was!

Within a year or so, the group arrived outside a massive black city. From the surface, the city was shrouded in masses of yin energy, and the sounds of wandering ghosts could be heard constantly echoing from the sky above! "Senior, this is Fengdu Cheng!"

Zhuanlun Wang looked at Jialouluo behind him and said cautiously.

"Very well, take us into the city. But I will tell you beforehand: if you dare to play any little tricks, don't blame this venerable one for being merciless!"

At this point, Jialouluo glanced at Dushi Wang, who had been beaten earlier! Dushi Wang immediately felt a chill run down his spine, and a faint sensation of pain surfaced on his face!

"I wouldn't dare!"

After saying this with his head bowed, Zhuanlun Wang took the lead and walked into Fengdu Cheng. The moment they entered the city, Zhang Nuo felt the surrounding yin energy become terrifyingly dense; compared to the palaces of the previous kings, it was like a minor wizard meeting a great one.

All kinds of ghosts were everywhere in the city, but when they sensed Jialouluo's presence, they fled in all directions as if their tails had been stepped on! Although these ghosts were not cultivators, they still knew of Jialouluo's extraordinary nature through the instincts deep within their souls!

After walking through the city for a while, they arrived at a great hall. This hall was the most famous Senluo Dian in the Underworld! The dim, flickering lights made the hall look even more terrifying!

Jialouluo didn't care about any of this at all; his figure flashed, and he sat on the main seat of Senluo Dian. Zhuanlun Wang didn't even dare to breathe loudly, standing respectfully below. At this moment, a small ghost, trembling with fear, brought a cup of Spirit Tea to Jialouluo.

Picking up the teacup, Jialouluo took a sip of the Underworld's Spirit Tea, smacked his lips, and finally spoke!

"I heard from the Human Emperor that you are attempting to use the Chaos Insect King to open the entrance to the True Immortal Realm?"

"Replying to Senior, we juniors are indeed doing so, and we have already taken action. If we had known Senior would come to this place, perhaps we wouldn't have had to go to such lengths!"

Zhuanlun Wang didn't even dare to raise his head, speaking with his head bowed.

"Hmph! You actually dare to scheme against the Chaos Insect King? Are you tired of living? This insect king is a type of spirit insect from ancient times; even cultivators at our True Immortal realm have no way to deal with it!"

With a cold snort, Jialouluo spoke in an almost reprimanding tone! Upon hearing this, cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of Zhuanlun Wang and the others below! Since a True Immortal said so, it seemed the Chaos Insect King was indeed a character not to be trifled with, yet everything they had done to the insect king previously had shown no signs of it having any intent to resist!

"If Senior can help us open the passage to the True Immortal Realm, we juniors will stop immediately!"

"Stop? Easier said than done! It is easy to invite a god but hard to send one away. It was already quite an achievement that you could seal this insect in the first place. Now that the seal has loosened, this venerable one suspects that this insect king has long been prepared; it was merely pretending!"

After a cold laugh, Jialouluo looked at Zhuanlun Wang and the others below with disdain! As soon as these words left his mouth, not only were Zhuanlun Wang and the others shocked, but even Zhang Nuo, who had been standing silently in the back, gasped slightly!

If it were truly as Jialouluo said, the insect king was currently waiting for an opportunity, and once the time was ripe, it would immediately break free from the constraints of the Underworld!

"Senior, what should we do now?"

No one else dared to speak, but Zhang Nuo did! Jialouluo glanced at Zhang Nuo, shook his head slightly, and then the light in his eyes dimmed all at once!

"Human Emperor, you possess the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect, a rare treasure; you should be able to infer the power of the Chaos Insect King. Therefore, once the insect king strikes back, everyone present must join the battle! Other than that, I fear there is no other way!"

A matter that even a True Immortal found troublesome left Jiufang Yi and the others feeling even more uneasy. At this time, Yanluo Tianzi's eyes flashed with cold light, and he glared hatefully at Zhuanlun Wang:

"This is all the good work you caused! If the common people perish because of you, won't the Underworld be left with an eternal bad reputation! Furthermore, a massive influx of souls will cause the Underworld to be unable to bear the burden, and it will eventually be destroyed as well!"

"Yanluo, things have come to this, what is the use of saying these things?"

Zhuanlun Wang's face turned angry. Even though he didn't dare to lose his temper at Jialouluo, he didn't care about that when it came to Yanluo Tianzi, especially since his assistance to Jiufang Yi and the others already made Zhuanlun Wang extremely dissatisfied!

"Shut up, all of you!"

Senluo Dian had become chaotic due to the two of them arguing. Jialouluo frowned slightly and then said in a deep voice. His voice was not loud, but it echoed endlessly throughout the great hall!

Immediately, everyone dared not make another sound and silently lowered their heads!

"Where is the Chaos Insect King now? Take this venerable one to see it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuanlun Wang's face turned ugly again, and his thoughts raced as he said:

"That insect king is currently imprisoned in the ultimate hell, Wujian!"

Wujian Diyu was the lowest level of hell in the Underworld and the most powerful of all the hells. Normally, it was the place where powerful, lonely souls were imprisoned! For the sake of safety, Zhuanlun Wang and the others had imprisoned the Chaos Insect King there!

"Wujian! Good! Let us go there now!"

After only a moment of hesitation, Jialouluo stood up. With Zhuanlun Wang leading the way, the group left Senluo Dian and walked toward a tall building on one side of Fengdu Cheng!

This building looked like a black tower reaching into the clouds, covering an area of several dozen miles. Faint yin energy swirled around the tower, and the sounds of ghosts wailing echoed endlessly from within. Anyone who approached this tower would feel a tremor from the depths of their heart!

"This tower is the entrance to Wujian Diyu! However, before we enter, I ask all fellow Daoists to restrain your Spiritual Pressure, because those imprisoned inside are all unusual evil spirits. Once they receive some kind of impact, they will become extremely violent!"

With a bitter expression, Zhuanlun Wang said helplessly. Jialouluo did not object and was the first to control his Spiritual Pressure to the smallest possible range!

The group walked inside the black tower and immediately felt a sense of gloom and terror. Inside the tower were several statues, every one of them hideous and terrifying! Judging by the faces of the statues, they should be the various gods of the Underworld that were worshipped!

Jialouluo only glanced at them and did not look further. Following Zhuanlun Wang, they arrived on top of a teleportation Dharma Array! At this time, Jiufang Yi and the others also stepped up, and as the light of the array flashed, the entire group vanished!

Not long after, when everyone opened their eyes again, they were stunned by the scene before them. It was as if they had arrived in another world; everything around them was chaotic and seemingly boundless. Black yin energy had almost materialized, drifting back and forth in this space!

And at a distance of over a thousand zhang from the group, there was a high platform. In the center of the platform, a gray beetle, fully several dozen zhang in size, lay quietly!

All around, several Underworld cultivators were forming strange hand seals, and from the palm of each person, a faint stream of soul energy emerged, drilling into the body of the gray beetle!

Seeing this scene, the Xuanjin and the Hidden Wing Blood-Eating Insect inside Zhang Nuo's body suddenly became restless. He hurriedly shielded his connection with the outside world, and the two finally calmed down!

"That is the Chaos Insect King! It is my mother body!"

Xuanjin said with a trembling voice! Zhang Nuo frowned; if the Chaos Insect King in its slumber could make Xuanjin this uneasy, the consequences would be unimaginable if it were to awaken!

Everyone present felt a shock in their hearts when they saw the 'Chaos Insect King'. Was this the spirit insect that had caused experts from several realms to take action back then? At this moment, it looked very quiet!

The pupils within Jialouluo's eyes suddenly contracted, and then two rays of cyan light shot out from them, as if he had activated some secret technique. A moment later, he said to Zhuanlun Wang with a grave expression:

"You call this trapping it?"

Hearing the unfriendly meaning in the other party's words, Zhuanlun Wang was startled and nodded suspiciously!

"Hmph! In fact, the insect king has long since awakened! You have all been deceived by it!"

As soon as Jialouluo said this, everyone's expression changed, especially Zhuanlun Wang and the other two, whose faces were filled with disbelief!

"Senior! This is impossible! The insect king's soul has been under our restraint all along? How could it have awakened?"

"You don't even believe what this venerable one says?"

Seeing Jialouluo get angry, Zhuanlun Wang repeatedly said he wouldn't dare!

Zhang Nuo walked forward a few steps and lightly flipped his palm, causing a thumb-sized red beetle to appear on it; the red beetle then began spinning around in his palm as if it had gone mad, unable to even fly! Within its pair of insect eyes was a look full of terror!

"It seems Senior Garuda was right! The Chaos Insect King has indeed awakened!"

Seeing the Spirit Insect in Zhang Nuo's hand like this, everyone's hearts sank once more!
