Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 690 - 689: Nine Nether Yellow Springs

As Xu Ping’an and his group continued their advance into the depths of the Yin Corpses Forest,

those from the Jade Immortal Sect had already arrived in front of the Stone Temple.

"It really is the pine needles of the Silver Fir King, with a trace of silver coldness still present. It looks like it was left by that demon woman," a First Layer Realm elder of the Eleventh Rank picked up a needle and said.

"It seems that demon woman has entered this Yin Corpses Forest," Mo Yun’s eyes narrowed.

"Those people from the Immortal Hall have also entered this place. Could it be that they are here for that demon woman as well?" Lu Jian said anxiously.

Hearing this, everyone’s expression became somewhat more solemn.

"We absolutely cannot let the people from the Immortal Hall succeed. Elder Mo, we should also enter," Fang Menglan said hurriedly.

"I don’t think those from the Immortal Hall are here for the demon woman. The strongest among them is only at the Tenth Rank Peak. If they were really here for that woman, they would need at least the power of the Eleventh Rank," another woman dressed in white, named Zhong Suting, pondered before speaking.

"Suting is right, these people are probably not here for the demon woman. However, they have entered the Yin Corpses Forest, and they might encounter her. The demon woman has been injured by Elder Mo’s Ice Soul Immortal Talisman, so there’s a chance they might benefit from this situation," another elder of the Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm said.

His name was Xi Han.

As for another Eleventh Rank First Layer Realm elder, he was named Jiang Qing.

"Elder Xi Han is right, if we don’t take action, we might really end up having the Immortal Hall people pick up the slack," Elder Jiang Qing also added.

"But the Yin Corpses Forest is extremely dangerous. Before we left, my master had warned us not to enter it," Du Qijun said urgently.

"Junior Brother Du, don’t worry. With the elders here, what danger could the Yin Corpses Forest pose?" Fang Menglan said with a smile.

"Right, with three elders here, would I be any worse than those few from the Immortal Hall?" Lu Jian laughed along.

"Since that’s the case, let’s go in. We must not let that demon woman escape this time," Mo Yun finally spoke.

Everyone nodded, then began to walk into the Yin Corpses Forest.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these events. At this moment, he and Du Bing’er, along with the others, had reached the depths of the Yin Corpses Forest.

"That valley up ahead should be where the Yin Sha Fruit Tree is located. However, the tree has already developed a rudimentary form of intelligence. Once we get close, it will surely attack us. But don’t worry, I have the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and it won’t be able to hurt us," Du Bingxin spoke.

Xu Ping’an and the others nodded their heads.

Pan Zhen and the others were brimming with confidence, their faces full of pride.

"Roar!"

However, just then, a soul-shattering cry suddenly came from the valley in the distance.

This scream contained an extremely powerful soul attack.

Xu Ping’an and his group instantly felt as if their heads were about to burst with pain.

It was as if steel needles were embedded in their brain, making them feel as though their souls were being torn apart.

Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue fared no better, let alone the others.

While Du Bingxin covered her ears, her face turned pale and a trace of fresh blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

As for Pan Zhen and Tong Jianjun, they were in so much pain that they were rolling on the ground.

Fortunately, the scream did not last long. It soon stopped; otherwise, the sheer intensity of the agonizing cry would have been sufficient to shatter their soul entities.

"What... what kind of scream was that, so terrifying, containing such a strong soul impact?" Pan Zhen said with a look of horror.

At this moment, he felt completely disoriented, as if the world was spinning around him.

"It must be that Corpse Puppet. I thought it would be easy to deal with it, and that my Karmic Fire could contain it. If it came down to it, I would use the Pure Yang Fire Formation to burn it. But now, it seems more terrifying than we imagined," Du Bingxin said with a grave tone.

"Indeed, it’s terrifying. That scream is on par with an Eleventh Rank soul attack, and that’s across such a distance. If it was directed at us, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all," Pan Zhen spoke.

Xu Ping’an and Yin Xue were also communicating through voice transmission at this moment.

"Is this the corpse puppet? It’s kind of terrifying," Xu Ping’an transmitted his voice.

"Yes, Master, this corpse puppet is very strong. If they confront it directly, these people stand no chance at all, not even that woman with the power of Karmic Fire Dao Principles," Yin Xue responded.

"There’s something strange about this place; it gives me an extremely dangerous feeling. I really feel there’s something else here," said Xu Ping’an.

"Something else? It can’t really be a divine burial, can it? If there is one, then it would indeed be very dangerous," Yin Xue transmitted.

"Let me check." Without delay, Xu Ping’an quietly activated the space-time power within the space-time runes.

The power of space-time flowed into his eyes, making Xu Ping’an’s eyes seem different.

All the spaces around seemed to have nowhere to hide.

The next moment, a look of horror appeared on Xu Ping’an’s face.

As if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Damn it, it’s actually this kind of thing; we’re probably in big trouble," Xu Ping’an hurriedly transmitted.

"Master, what did you find?" Yin Xue quickly asked through voice transmission.

"Beneath the ground under this valley, there is a huge spatial vortex. I don’t know where this spatial vortex leads, but I can feel that it’s filled with a terrifying Yin Sha energy," Xu Ping’an said gravely.

"Then, Master, where do you think the spatial vortex leads to?" Yin Xue was also surprised.

"If I’m not mistaken, this spatial vortex is probably a path to the Nether World. No wonder the stone temple has powerful divine prohibitions; it’s obviously used to seal the space entrance here," Xu Ping’an took a deep breath.

"The Nether World? The legendary vanished Nether World?" Yin Xue was shocked as well.

Who would have thought that this Yin Corpse Forest was hiding such a big secret?

If it really is like that, once the gate of the Nether World opens,

then the Jade Immortal Realm might face a huge disaster.

The terror of the Nether World had been recorded in books before.

It was said that the Nether World had once sought to invade the Immortal Realm.

However, it was later repelled by the Immortal Realm and completely sealed.

Among them, the ten Nether Emperors of the Nether World were extremely terrifying in strength, matching that of a Supreme Immortal Emperor.

"It might not necessarily be the Nether World, but this place is definitely related to the Nether World," Xu Ping’an continued through voice transmission.

Yin Xue nodded.

Suddenly, she appeared to recall something and quickly said, "I know where this spatial vortex leads to; I once heard my father mention it."

"Where?" Xu Ping’an asked urgently.

"The Nine Nether Yellow Springs, that is the real entrance to the Nether World. For the people of the Nether World to come over, they must pass through the Nine Nether Yellow Springs. But the Nine Nether Yellow Springs possess potent corrosive abilities. Even an Immortal Emperor Level powerhouse would instantly corrode if they touched it a bit," Yin Xue explained through voice transmission.

Xu Ping’an was astonished in his heart, the Nine Nether Yellow Springs?

Beneath this spatial vortex lies one of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs?

"What else did your father say?" asked Xu Ping’an.

"My father said that there are a total of twelve such entrances, but he didn’t say anything more," Yin Xue said.

"Twelve entrances?" Xu Ping’an was even more astonished.
