Xu Changqing's recovery of memory was expected. After all, the Holy Spirit Bead had stayed in his body for such a long time, and as the place where the holy souls of past generations returned, it would have some influence on him.

Zi Xuan should have guessed this, but Xu Changqing didn't admit that he had recovered his memory, so she followed the trend and performed this play to fulfill the other party.

She got the answer from Xu Changqing's reaction.

He is not Gu Liufang, let alone Lin Yepin, not any substitute.

Compared with Chu Yang's earnest persuasion, Xu Changqing's silence truly shattered the last bit of luck in Zi Xuan's heart.

She personally drew a period for this long love.

And Xu Changqing wanted to repair the Holy Spirit Bead, also holding the idea of completely ending the cause and effect.

But Chu Yang felt that the fate of these two people should not be so easy to end.

"The Holy Spirit Bead was originally a treasure of the Nv Wa Goddess, and it is also the place where the souls of past Nv Wa descendants return, harboring their spiritual power."

"Similar treasures are actually the Five Spirit Beads. Perhaps as long as you collect the Five Spirit Beads, there is a way to restore the power of the Holy Spirit Bead."

"I heard that the Fire Ghost King in the Ghost Realm has a spirit bead. We can go to the Ghost Realm tonight to take a look."

Chu Yang tried to lead Xu Changqing's attention to the Ghost Realm, and he was quite moved when he heard it.

Xu Changqing agreed with Chu Yang's opinion: "Since this is the case, let's wait until night to go to the Ghost Realm."

Jingtian suddenly had an uneasy feeling, as if he would encounter some things this time in the Ghost Realm.

Midnight.

In the room on the second floor of the inn, Zi Xuan sat on the chair in a daze. After Xu Changqing left, she had been like this.

Persisted for so long, but now only confusion remains.

A flash of red light.

Demon Lord Zhong Lou suddenly appeared. Seeing Zi Xuan's absent-minded appearance, he said with a cold face: "I can help you restore the Holy Spirit Bead."

Zi Xuan didn't even look at him, and said coldly: "Dignified Demon Lord, why do you always do things that spy on others?"

Zhong Lou was angry: "I just left a mark on Fei Peng, who knew he would come to you?!"

Only then did Zi Xuan realize that she had misunderstood Zhong Lou, her face softened a lot, but her tone was still firm: "Thank you for the Demon Lord's kindness, but the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Bead conflicts with demonic energy. I don't want the holy objects of the clan to be polluted. We don't seek the same path."

Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Zhong Lou was not angry, and said to himself: "Are you and him on the same path? Exhausting the spiritual power of the Holy Spirit Bead, you will eventually become a mortal, and he will only practice Dao and stay on Mount Shu for a lifetime. You still can't be together."

Zi Xuan lowered her head and smiled: "Actually, it's enough. In the final analysis, I am too greedy. The Nv Wa descendant is destined to be bumpy, but I have been in love with him for two lives and gave birth to Qing'er. God has been very generous to me..."

Zhong Lou looked indifferent, turned into a red light and disappeared. Before leaving, he left a harsh word: "Since this is the case, you and him should have owed nothing to each other in this life, but you wasted spiritual power in vain to heal him. I want to take this spiritual power back!"

The panicked Zi Xuan wanted to stop the other party, but where was Zhong Lou's shadow in the room? She could only chase out in a hurry.

On the other side, Chu Yang and the others had already gathered at the city gate.

Fengdu City opens the gate to the Ghost Realm at midnight, and you can go directly to the Ghost Realm from here.

But there is a problem.

If a living person enters, the physical body will stay in the yang world. If no one takes care of it, it may be a big problem.

Everyone started to discuss who would take care of the physical body. Tang Xuejian raised her hand enthusiastically, the reason being that she didn't want to go to the Ghost Realm.

"It's so scary there, I'd better not go, just stay up there and watch the physical bodies for you."

"The passage between the two worlds is open, not only people from above go down, but also ghosts from below come up. Being alone in Fengdu City, Miss Tang, you have to be careful!"

"Ah? Then I'd better go down with you!"

Before she finished speaking, Tang Xuejian changed her mind immediately and said she had to go down with everyone.

Chu Yang smiled: "You go down first, I'll handle everyone's physical body."

Lin Yueru worried: "Daoist Chu, aren't you going? Without you, I guess we will be very dangerous below."

Xu Changqing said: "Junior Brother, why don't we two go down to find the Fire Spirit Bead and let the others stay in the city, at least there is a response."

Tang Xuejian nodded quickly: "This is the best!"

Chu Yang glanced at Jingtian, thinking of 【Fengdu】's restraint on ghosts, after much consideration, he gave up letting him sacrifice his looks and planned to use force to snatch the Fire Spirit Bead.

Going to the God Realm to get the Wind Spirit Bead is another situation, and it must be borrowed from the name of "General Fei Peng".

"Since this is the case, Senior Brother and I will go down, and you help look after the physical bodies."

Seeing Chu Yang and Xu Changqing entering the Ghost Realm, Li Xiaoyao suddenly said reluctantly: "Can't you take me with you? The three of them are enough to stay above!"

Xu Changqing thought it was the same, so he agreed to let Li Xiaoyao follow them into the Ghost Realm.

The three stepped into the passage at the same time, but Tang Xuejian suddenly screamed.

"Daoist Chu's physical body didn't stay!"

Lin Yueru and Jingtian stared and were shocked.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why is there no Daoist Chu's physical body, obviously Daoist Xu and Li Xiaoyao's are both there!"

"Could it be that Daoist Chu is not a living person?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where does Daoist Chu look like a ghost? Didn't you see him walking on the street in broad daylight? Can ghosts come out in broad daylight?"

The three argued endlessly, and Long Kui, wearing red clothes, also jumped out of the Demon Sword to join the fun.

She floated to Jingtian's side and said: "Brother, if the cultivation is enough, ghosts can also come out in broad daylight. That Daoist Chu can take the Demon Lord's attack, maybe there is really a problem."

Hearing Long Kui speak ill of Chu Yang, Lin Yueru was anxious, pointed at Long Kui and scolded: "Don't spread rumors here, Daoist Chu is a high disciple of Mount Shu, would the Mount Shu Sect leader not know if he is a human or a ghost?"

Red-clothed Long Kui hugged her chest with both hands, staring coldly at Lin Yueru, saying nothing.

Jingtian saw that she seemed to be getting angry and started to coax her.

Chu Yang, who had entered the Ghost Realm, knew nothing about the quarrel above. He was already standing in front of the huge Fengdu City gate.

The Fengdu City in the Ghost Realm is much larger than the Fengdu City in the human world. The city gate and walls are full of traces of time erosion, showing desolation.

The three walked into Fengdu City, and a group of ghost messengers suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking them, and said coldly: "Idle people are not allowed to break into Fengdu."

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes wide: "Why is there this out, I haven't heard of it!"

Chu Yang smiled, took out a stack of underworld money from his arms, and handed it to the ghost messenger in front. The ghost messenger looked down and accepted it with lightning speed.

Then this group of ghost messengers gave way, standing in two rows on the left and right, treating Chu Yang and the others as air.

Li Xiaoyao was shocked again: "This can also be done?!"

People have human ways.

Ghosts have ghost ways. In the final analysis, it is money that opens the way.

After solving the ghost messenger blocking the road, Chu Yang took Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao into Fengdu City. Now it is midnight in the yang world, and here in the Ghost Realm it is noon.

The underworld is dark and lightless. Green ghost lamps are responsible for illuminating the entire ghost street, and ghost fires fly from time to time on the side of the road, making people feel creepy.

Except for some terrifying background elements, the residents of Fengdu City look no different from ordinary people, except that their faces are a bit white, and the buildings in the city are not much different from the Fengdu City in the yang world.

Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing looked around, full of curiosity. A tour of the Ghost Realm as a living person is not an experience everyone can have.

They didn't notice that Chu Yang's expression was a bit wrong at this time, as if he was secretly struggling with something.

Since entering Fengdu City, 【Fengdu】 sleeping in Chu Yang's soul has become more and more restless. That kind of extreme desire, even Chu Yang can't suppress it.

Have to find something for it to "eat" quickly, otherwise the child will be suffocated.

Chu Yang urged Xu Changqing and them to leave and hurry to find the Fire Ghost Palace where the Fire Ghost King is.

The Fire Ghost Palace is located on the lowest level of the Ghost Realm, the Lava Hell, which is a place even the King of Hell doesn't want to set foot in, because the temperature is too high for ghosts to contend with.

Only the Fire Ghost King in the entire Ghost Realm can stay there safely.

To go to the Lava Hell, you must first pass through the Barren Land. The so-called Barren Land is the "wild area" of the Ghost Realm, wandering with some lonely ghosts who have lost their sanity.

The moment he stepped on the Barren Land, Chu Yang no longer suppressed 【Fengdu】's desire and let it act.

The black ancient sword soared into the sky, and the hell painting on the sword actually moved vividly. For a time, the lonely ghosts in the entire Barren Land let out terrifying cries.

The crying shook the Ghost Realm, and the distant Fengdu City was crumbling, like the earth dragon turning over.

Ghost Realm, Wuchang Hall.

The King of Hell sitting in a high position was correcting the files in his hand like a human emperor, and the file on his far left was emitting light.

The three big characters "Life and Death Book" were written on it.

Suddenly.

A cry came from outside the Wuchang Hall.

The King of Hell frowned: "Who is making noise outside the hall?"

The judge walked in from outside the hall and cupped his hands: "Report to the King of Hell, the sound did not come from nearby, but from a more distant place."

The King of Hell just wanted to ask, but the Wuchang Hall shook violently, and all the files on the table fell to the ground, only the Life and Death Book flew slowly into the air, the light on his body becoming more and more intense.

The King of Hell looked at this scene with a solemn expression, and only after the Life and Death Book calmed down did he take it back.

"The treasure that affects the luck of the Ghost Realm has appeared. Judge Zhong, take all the ghost messengers of the Wuchang Hall to check, be sure to find the source, I will come later."

After the King of Hell finished speaking, he turned and walked into the depths of the Wuchang Hall.

After Judge Zhong received the order, he immediately gathered the ghost messengers and went to the Barren Land.

At the same time.

The ghost gate opened wide above the Barren Land, and 【Fengdu】 greedily devoured the lonely ghosts on this land.

These ghosts have completely lost their sanity and have no possibility of reincarnation. If this continues, they will only disappear into the Ghost Realm as ghost energy.

This is why Chu Yang allowed 【Fengdu】 to devour the ghosts here, rather than in the Fengdu City just now.

Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing were stunned by the big scene of ten thousand ghosts crying. After coming back to their senses, only barrenness was left in the Barren Land, and not a ghost shadow could be seen.

Li Xiaoyao asked with a pale face: "Brother Chu, will we have problems doing this? Those ghost messengers won't treat us as enemies invading the Ghost Realm, right?"

Chu Yang thought seriously and nodded: "It's entirely possible. Let's find the Fire Spirit Bead quickly and then slip away."

Xu Changqing smiled bitterly: "If I had known, I should have listened to Junior Brother and let you stay above. Now whether we can walk out of the Ghost Realm alive has become a problem."

Chu Yang comforted softly: "Senior Brother, don't say silly things. We entered the Ghost Realm with our souls. According to the normal saying, this is already considered dead!"

Xu Changqing's face was iron-blue, and he was shaking with anger.

Li Xiaoyao was almost crying, shouting loudly: "Two brothers, let's go quickly, I can see people coming in the city!"

Chu Yang turned his head suddenly and saw a large group of ghost messengers rushing toward them.

"Wind tight, pull away!"

Chu Yang whistled at 【Fengdu】 in the sky. "It", which was full and satisfied, became very obedient and instantly dived into Chu Yang's soul.

The three left quickly in the direction of the Lava Hell.

After a while.

Judge Zhong led the ghost messengers to arrive, and could no longer see the backs of Chu Yang and the others. Looking at the empty Barren Land, a chill actually appeared in his heart.

Lonely ghosts have always been the most troublesome problem in the Ghost Realm. They are like "black households" in the yang world, not subject to the rules at all, and can only send ghost messengers to encircle and suppress them.

Every encirclement and suppression will lose a lot of manpower. Over time, the Ghost Realm let them exist, causing the lonely ghosts in the Barren Land to become more and more numerous, almost becoming a disaster.

Now that they have been cleared cleanly, under normal circumstances, Judge Zhong should be happy, but he suddenly realized a problem.

Since that so-called treasure can easily eliminate these lonely ghosts, it shows that it has terrifying lethality to these ghost messengers.

"Judge Zhong, there are three strange guys leaving in the direction of the Lava Hell ahead. Should we chase them and see?"

A ghost messenger holding a trident stepped forward to report.

"The treasure should be in their hands. We must not let them enter the Lava Hell, and we must not let the treasure fall into the hands of the Fire Ghost King, otherwise the Ghost Realm will be in chaos!"

Judge Zhong's face changed, and he immediately led the team to chase, and the mighty army of ghost messengers rushed to the Lava Hell.

On the other side.

The oncoming high temperature made Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao stop.

Li Xiaoyao complained: "It's so hot, how can we go in? We will be roasted directly!"

Xu Changqing looked solemn: "Now everyone is a soul, need to act cautiously. If you get hurt, you will have a serious illness after going back, and you may completely lose consciousness, leaving only the physical body alive."

Li Xiaoyao shivered, looked back at the pursuers, gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't we turn back and fight them, it's just a group of ghost messengers, we won't necessarily lose."

Xu Changqing shook his head: "Winning or losing is secondary. The most important thing is that no one can afford the crime of making a scene in the Ghost Realm, even Mount Shu is the same."

Li Xiaoyao cried with a sad face: "Then what should we do, Ling Er is still waiting for me to go home!"

Chu Yang covered Li Xiaoyao's mouth and said angrily: "Shut up and be quiet, don't set up flags for me, otherwise I will seal your mouth!"

Li Xiaoyao couldn't understand, but facing the angry Chu Yang, he could only choose to shut up.

"Follow me!"

Chu Yang sacrificed 【Fengdu】 to circle around him, and then a large amount of Yellow Spring water surged out, and the lava under his feet was extinguished, forcibly creating a road leading directly to the Fire Ghost Palace.
