Chapter 883: The Final Destination of the Dead

Yan Chixia and Xia Hou looked at each other, then said in unison:

"Senior, please, we dare not refuse, and it is our wish!"

After this, Sun Wukong brought Yan Chixia and Xia Hou to Guo Beixian and personally taught them for two months.

Although Sun Wukong did not understand sword Dao, relying on his cultivation base as a Daluo Jinxian, he was fully capable of guiding Yan Chixia and Xia Hou from a high vantage point.

Seeing that the strength of Yan Chixia and Xia Hou now far exceeded that of the original Tree Demon Granny, Sun Wukong stopped teaching and prepared to go look for special tasks.

"Senior, hearing you say that, I think you should go and find the Heishan Old Demon!"

Sun Wukong had absolutely no clue regarding the special task of investigating why the Immortals and Buddhas had not appeared, so he happened to mention it in front of Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia then stated his own view:

"Senior, do you know why there are so many ghosts in the world of the living?"

Yan Chixia did not deliberately keep him in suspense and then said directly:

"Because the Underworld no longer exists. The City of Wrongful Death, which was originally the place for reincarnation in the human world, is now occupied by the Heishan Old Demon."

"Under the occupation of the Heishan Old Demon, any ghost or monster that offers tribute to him can use the City of Wrongful Death to come directly to the world of the living. If Senior can eliminate the Heishan Old Demon and retake the City of Wrongful Death, you might know the reason why the Immortals and Buddhas have not appeared."

"Good, hearing you say this, I will go to the City of Wrongful Death, kill that Heishan Old Demon, and investigate the City of Wrongful Death thoroughly!"

Sun Wukong originally had no clues, but at this moment, Yan Chixia had proposed a perspective. Although it was uncertain whether eliminating the Heishan Old Demon could complete the special task,

compared to wandering around like a headless fly, Sun Wukong now believed that slaying the Heishan Old Demon was a relatively clear path.

The City of Wrongful Death, just as its name suggests, is the place where the ghosts of those who died unjustly reside in the Netherworld.

Sun Wukong did not feel unfamiliar with the City of Wrongful Death.

Not to mention the time Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Underworld.

In the Primordial World, the City of Wrongful Death was created by Dizang, so Sun Wukong was naturally very familiar with it.

Of course, in this Liaozhai World, there were naturally no great beings with supernatural powers like Dizang.

However, the City of Wrongful Death did exist, but no one knew who had built it.

Originally, the Underworld should have been managed by the Ten Yama Kings, Dizang, and a group of other great beings, but in this Liaozhai World,

the Underworld had been completely occupied by demons, monsters, and ghosts, and the City of Wrongful Death had been occupied by the Heishan Old Demon, who had become a Demon King in his own right.

To kill the Heishan Old Demon, one naturally had to enter the Netherworld.

If it were the original Liaozhai World, one would only be able to enter the Underworld through special methods.

But for Sun Wukong, wasn't the Underworld a place he could come and go as he pleased?

Especially the Underworld in the Liaozhai World, which had absolutely no obstacles at all.

At this moment, Sun Wukong brandished the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand.

He split the Yin and Yang directly, and then stepped into the Netherworld that belonged to the Underworld.

In an instant, upon entering the Underworld, Sun Wukong could clearly feel that the scenery between heaven and earth had dimmed.

Even though Sun Wukong possessed Fiery Eyes, in this Underworld, his eyes could only see two colors: black and white.

After all, this was the Underworld, which naturally could not compare to the world of the living. Of course, more importantly, the Underworld was incomplete, so it could not restore the complete appearance of the world of the living.

Sun Wukong had arrived in the Netherworld. Because there was no jurisdiction by Underworld ghost officials, everywhere Sun Wukong looked, there were lonely ghosts and wild spirits.

Here, they had no thoughts, no will, and could only wander around based on instinct.

This was the Underworld, this was the final destination of the dead, and this was no longer a world for the living.

Not to mention the Underworld in the Primordial World, the Underworld in the Liaozhai World was the world where souls ultimately belonged; in other words, it was the Netherworld that souls entered after people died and their spirits left their bodies.
