Chapter 519

Hua Changxi was not surprised that the major human forces dispatched personnel to sneak into the Nine Nether hinterland; she was also not surprised that these sneaking personnel returned one after another.

However, looking at more than half of the cultivators among the returnees who had lit black flames, her mood was a bit heavy.

Shura Gate!

There was no need to guess, those cultivators lighting black flames must have something to do with the Shura Gate.

And the Shura Gate's range of activities in the Nine Nethers is very large. She killed a batch, and there were other batches operating elsewhere.

On the Nine Nether auction building, Su Mingyue would scan the opposite human auction building from time to time, her eyes particularly cold, especially when looking at the royal family's seats, revealing intense killing intent.

"Come here!"

Su Mingyue scanned the hourglass that was about to run out and called the Ghost Race member who had held the bone umbrella to resist Lady Bi An Hua's attack to her front, giving him a list: "Take a few subordinates down and exchange for these materials."

Ghost Race member Chu Junyi stepped forward, respectfully took the list, and glanced at Su Mingyue quickly, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes: "Subordinate will definitely not fail the mission."

Su Mingyue just gave a faint "Hm" and didn't even look at Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi didn't say anything more and quickly left the Nine Nether auction building with four subordinates.

Lady Bai Gu watched the five people leave and looked at Su Mingyue thoughtfully.

Mingyue Ghost King seems to be special to Chu Junyi. Could it be that she is the Ghost King who has dealings with the Demon-Suppressing Army?

After Chu Junyi took Meng Ziyu and the other four out of the Nine Nether auction building, he looked up at the building and then walked quickly toward the crowded Nine Nether fourth-grade stall lane.

"The auction is about to end!"

"Must find a chance to change back to a human and return to the human stall side."

The five people shuttled between the stalls, and soon, their figures were submerged by the Nine Nether creatures.

At the same time, on the human auction building, figures appeared in the seats of major holy lands, guardian families, royal families, and other noble families.

Tong Yao, Jing Le, and Yan Zhenzhen looked at each other quickly after seeing this.

"Sixteenth Elder."

Xia Zhen walked straight to the seat of the Pill Saint Hall and sat beside Meng Qingyao, shaking his head at Xia Ji beside her.

Seeing him look guilty, Xia Ji said: "It's good that people have returned safely."

Xia Zhen scanned the secret realm masters of the Pill Saint Hall and saw that they were all closely watching his movements, showing hesitation and reluctance on his face.

Information has always been very important.

Especially all kinds of first-hand information.

Xia Zhen knew very well that the information they had gained from this trip deep into the Nine Nethers was extremely important.

Perhaps, it could be used to win over some secret realm masters. Even if they couldn't be won over, they had to let them know the power of the Xia family.

Thinking this, Xia Zhen suppressed the hesitation in his heart and prepared to talk about the gains from this trip.

Every force will set up a sound-insulation array before taking their seats to facilitate communication, so he is not afraid of his words being heard by others.

"Among the forces that ventured deep into the Nine Nether hinterland this time, except for the Shura Gate, other forces almost had no losses."

The people of the Pill Saint Hall were happy when they heard this.

Even though there is competition between major forces on weekdays, they are still clear-headed in the contest between humans and the Nine Nethers.

Meng Qingyao smiled: "That's good, after all, the people sent out are human elites."

Xia Zhen shook his head when he heard this: "There are more Nine Nether powerhouses than we imagined. This time, there were no casualties because someone lured away the attention of the various races of the Nine Nethers."

Meng Qingyao was stunned, pondered for a moment, and tentatively said: "Is it that human?"

Xia Zhen nodded.

Meng Qingyao was shocked again and asked in surprise: "Are the rumors about 'a human' true? Did a human really appear and stir up the Nine Nethers?"

Dongfang Hao, Dongfang Xu, and all the secret realm masters were also staring at Xia Zhen, waiting for his reply.

Xia Zhen shook his head: "I don't know. However..."

"The Netherworld Blade appeared, it's true."

"The Netherworld Deer appeared, it's also true."

"Lady Bi An Hua's avatar was destroyed; Lady Chi Yan, who was famous in the Nine Nethers for her nightmare technique, disappeared strangely, and the Lady's Building was stolen. These are all true."

Dongfang Hao didn't understand after hearing this: "How could these be related to humans?"

Xia Zhen: "Because a peak King-realm Nightmare Tapir personally testified that the Soul Race member who rode the Netherworld Deer and snatched the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm was a human in disguise."

"It also said that the human stole ten of its Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruits."

Dongfang Hao shook his head and said: "That Nightmare Tapir must be lying. Humans cannot attract the Nine Nether Dao Envoy Netherworld Deer!"

Xia Ji saw Xia Zhen silent and asked: "Why, do you think the Nightmare Tapir didn't lie?"

Xia Zhen nodded: "Not to mention that a peak King-realm big demon has no need to lie, and it's still in such a shameful way as 'having its home stolen'."

"The most important thing is that on the way back, I learned a piece of news from the Soul Race."

"Although the Netherworld Deer is a Dao Envoy, it likes to listen to the *Soul Ballad*."

"In other words, it doesn't have to be a powerhouse who has walked out of the Nine Nether Great Dao; as long as one can play the *Soul Ballad*, one can attract the Netherworld Deer."

"And the *Soul Ballad* can also be played by humans."

Gu Jinfan spoke: "However, as far as I know, the *Soul Ballad* is very difficult to play. Even for the Soul Race who specialize in the soul path, there may not be one person who can play the *Soul Ballad* in thousands of years."

Xia Zhen still insisted on his view: "Difficult to play does not mean absolutely impossible."

"Under the general trend of spiritual energy recovery, opportunities emerge one after another, and there is simply no such thing as absolutely impossible."

Gu Jinfan also felt that these words made sense, but who could have such ability?

Xia Ji narrowed his eyes: "If Sixteenth's guess is true, then the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm is in human hands."

Meng Qingyao looked over: "Master, what kind of place is the Nine Nether Soul Realm?"

Xia Ji: "It's a secret realm, a secret realm conceived by the Soul River!"

Once they heard this, everyone understood the preciousness of the Nine Nether Soul Realm.

Most of the secret realm masters have opened up the Spirit Platform and know deeply that after cultivators open the Spirit Platform, they need to cultivate both spiritual power and soul power at the same time, and they must focus on soul power.

After the Spirit Platform realm is the Condensing Spirit realm.

If you want to step into the Condensing Spirit realm, without a large amount of soul power to condense the primordial spirit, you cannot break through the realm.

The human world has rich spiritual energy, but soul power is insufficient. As a result, many cultivators' cultivation improvement begins to slow down after stepping into the Spirit Platform realm.

Xia Ji whispered: "Who could that person be?"

Similar conversations were also taking place quietly in other human forces.

Wei Zhenjie knew that the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm might really have fallen into human hands, and the excitement almost overflowed.

However, because the five people including Chu Junyi had not returned, the worry in his heart suppressed the excitement.

On the Nine Nether stall lane, Hua Changxi saw the batch of human cultivators who had lit black flames, and quite a few of them went to the human auction building, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

Nowadays, the stall lanes are becoming more and more clamorous and noisy.

Because the auction is nearing its end, whether it is the stall owner or the trader, they have become a bit urgent, almost without the process of bargaining, and both parties to the transaction are eager to complete the transaction quickly.

"Hm?"

Because she had been stared at by the Nether River man, Hua Changxi never found a chance to transform. Suddenly, she sensed a familiar aura.

She turned around suddenly, her gaze like electricity, passing through the heavy surging figures, and quickly locked onto a human male cultivator wearing a Qilin mask.

That aura...

Magic tools, as long as they recognize their master, will carry the owner's aura.

At this moment, Hua Changxi sensed that there was her aura on that human male cultivator.

Since she started cultivating, she had only lost one magic tool—the Buddhist bead bracelet!

In an instant, a look of excitement appeared in Hua Changxi's eyes. God knows how much she wanted to find the Buddhist bead bracelet back.

It didn't matter if the bracelet was lost, the main thing was that the ten Qihuang Orders and the Totem Golden Bowl inside couldn't be lost.

Hua Changxi's gaze fell straight on the dark yellow sword held in the right hand of that human male cultivator.

At the end of the sword hilt, a plain Buddhist bead bracelet was hung!

Seeing the Buddhist bead bracelet that had been lost for a long time, Hua Changxi couldn't wait to rush over and take back her things, but soon, she discovered another surprising thing.

It's him!

She recognized that human male cultivator, and the four people behind him—it was exactly the five human cultivators on the Yellow Springs Ancient Road.

These five people are not dead!

Hua Changxi thought of the five Ghost Race members who had been following Lady Bai Gu all along...

If those five Ghost Race members were really five humans transformed, then these five people's methods were truly remarkable, actually deceiving her Breaking False Eye!

This is not the time to delve into these things. Hua Changxi suppressed the desire to explore in her heart and walked quickly toward the five people.

It just so happens that everyone is busy completing transactions now, and people are crowding people, which is a good time to quietly "take back" the Buddhist bead bracelet.

Hua Changxi shuttled through the crowd, pushing away one person after another.

Unfortunately, she was accelerating, and the five people in front were also accelerating.

Chu Junyi noticed that he was being stared at for the first time, glanced quickly with his peripheral vision, and found that it was a Nine Nether scattered cultivator.

This immediately made him think of a lot.

Why did that Nine Nether scattered cultivator stare at him?

Could it be that some Nine Nether powerhouse discovered his relationship with his great-aunt?

They had been very careful when changing from "Ghost Race" back to humans. Logically speaking, no one should have discovered it.

Unless someone had been staring at them all along.

"Boss, there's a tail behind."

The Demon-Suppressing Army was fought out from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood time and time again. Even though Hua Changxi was very careful, she was still noticed by the four people including Meng Ziyu.

Chu Junyi looked up at the hourglass that was running out, and his eyes flashed with fierce light: "Lure that scattered cultivator into the Five-Direction Grand Array."
