Seeing Tian Gang Zhenren, who appeared very conflicted, Su Xi couldn't suppress her curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor Master, do you know what happened here?"
After all, only Tian Gang Zhenren would know certain details after the Yaksha was soul-searched. To understand what happened, she could only start with Tian Gang Zhenren.
Ghost Elder, watching Su Xi's suicidal behavior, couldn't help but curl his lips, feeling a bit of sorrow for her.
If this great figure wanted to speak, he naturally would. Since he hadn't, Su Xi's actions were clearly just asking for humiliation.
Just as Ghost Elder expected to see Su Xi receive a harsh reality check, he unexpectedly heard Tian Gang Zhenren not only not scold her but instead seriously begin to explain, "This is all because an outsider broke into the Underworld. Those who obeyed them were directly incorporated and their strength was increased. As for those who did not obey, they were all killed."
"These corpses in the Underworld are all those who refused to obey them. As for the rest of the people, most of them were taken away, and only a few are still alive."
Su Xi's face showed surprise upon hearing Tian Gang Zhenren's words.
Although Tian Gang Zhenren spoke with ease, she could tell how difficult it must have been.
The Underworld was so vast, with countless spirits. It would take a considerable amount of time just to traverse it, let alone after experiencing a bloodbath.
After all, the strength of a single Yama King already reached the Mahayana stage. Moreover, there were the Ten Yama Kings, so many powerful experts, along with many formidable ghost cultivators in the Underworld.
The fact that an outsider could break through the Ghost Gate clearly indicated something abnormal.
If there weren't an inside traitor in the Underworld, it could only mean that the invading enemies were incredibly powerful.
"Who are they?" Su Xi looked at Tian Gang Zhenren, a guess suddenly forming in her mind.
Could it be people from some alliance in the interstellar space?
Besides this guess, no one else had such power or reason to do so.
Tian Gang Zhenren glanced at Su Xi, shook his head, and sighed, "The Yaksha was of very low rank, so he didn't know their identities."
However, Tian Gang Zhenren was well aware that the power of those who could raise a Yaksha with only Nascent Soul cultivation to Mahayana stage in such a short time must be formidable.
Ordinary Mahayana cultivators did not possess the ability to infuse magical power to enhance cultivation.
It was highly likely that they themselves were now being targeted and had become pawns in a larger game.
Su Xi also fell into deep thought.
Ghost Elder, witnessing this scene, felt utterly speechless.
These two were indeed from the same place; their actions were equally bewildering.
Couldn't they just speak plainly?
Why the silence and unspoken understanding? He had no idea what these two were thinking.
He was now part of their team, so couldn't they include him in their considerations?
Although Ghost Elder was powerful, his experience was not truly vast.
He had been diligently cultivating, hoping to make a name for himself, when he was captured by Tian Gang Zhenren. Later, after managing to escape, he was imprisoned in this place.
He wanted to gain knowledge but had no opportunity.
"Two of you, should we leave here first?" Ghost Elder, seeing the two of them remaining silent, felt he should be the one to break the quiet.
Tian Gang Zhenren heard Ghost Elder's words, shook his head, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "It's too late to leave now."
???
Ghost Elder looked at Tian Gang Zhenren, his face filled with confusion.
Could it be that this powerful figure, seeing that the Underworld was devoid of its ruler, intended to become the King of the Underworld himself?
While being the King of the Underworld was not bad, it meant being confined to this ghost-ridden place forever, unable to leave.
Most normal people would find that unacceptable.
Despite his confusion, Ghost Elder knew that there was nothing he could do.
He was just a nobody and couldn't overthink things.
Tian Gang Zhenren's gaze was sharp as a sword, firmly locked onto a certain direction in the darkness. Then, a beam of light shot from his hand.
Just as Ghost Elder wondered why Tian Gang Zhenren suddenly attacked, he suddenly heard a scream from the darkness, followed by a burst of flames.
"Huh?"
Hearing the scream from the darkness, Ghost Elder realized that there were still people nearby monitoring their every move.
This realization sent a cold sweat down his spine.
Fortunately, Tian Gang Zhenren discovered the surveillance. Otherwise, if those people had followed them and attacked secretly, wouldn't they all be doomed?
"You protect Su Xi well," Tian Gang Zhenren instructed, and then his figure vanished.
Although Ghost Elder didn't know what Tian Gang Zhenren was doing, he remembered his words.
He would stay put and focus on protecting Su Xi.
"This place is very chaotic, you absolutely cannot wander off," Ghost Elder said, then looked at Su Xi, wanting to move closer to her.
Otherwise, if something happened, he might not be able to cope.
But when he turned around, he suddenly realized that Su Xi, who was beside him, had disappeared.
???
This discovery sent a cold sweat down Ghost Elder's spine.
Why had Su Xi suddenly disappeared?
Had someone stealthily approached, or had Su Xi abandoned him?
If something happened to Su Xi, Tian Gang Zhenren would definitely not let him off.
Ghost Elder felt like crying. After finally getting out, was he going to endure that inhuman torture again?
He had had enough and didn't want to go through all this again.
Just as Ghost Elder was about to search for her, he suddenly heard Su Xi's voice by his ear, "How is it, isn't this place of mine quite good?"
???
Hearing Su Xi's voice, Ghost Elder looked around suspiciously, but still couldn't find Su Xi's figure.
It was as if no one was speaking beside him, more like an illusion.
"What are you doing?"
Su Xi looked at Ghost Elder searching around, still not reacting, and couldn't help but retort.
Why wasn't he hiding quickly? If the enemy discovered them later, how would they escape?
Was Ghost Elder's brain malfunctioning?
"Where are you? Why can't I see you?" Although he didn't want to admit it, Ghost Elder still voiced his confusion.
At this moment, although he could sense Su Xi was right in front of him, he couldn't find her, and naturally, he couldn't do anything properly.
"I'm here." Su Xi suddenly reached out and pulled Ghost Elder into the formation.
She was very satisfied.
Now that Ghost Elder was standing so close yet couldn't find her, it was impossible for anyone else to discover her.
Ghost Elder entered Su Xi's formation, looking around in confusion.
This formation looked very simple, yet he never expected it to be so effective.
Why was Su Xi so capable, knowing so much?
Seeing Ghost Elder's surprised reaction, Su Xi couldn't help but say, "Don't be so surprised, I know much more than you imagine."
Ghost Elder looked at Su Xi's behavior and directly rolled his eyes at her.
If she couldn't even possess this much skill while being associated with Tian Gang Zhenren, she might as well go learn from a dog.
Su Xi smiled at the mocking look on Ghost Elder's face, "Don't be embarrassed. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"This is unnecessary, don't you think?"
"No need." Ghost Elder directly gave her a white eye and chose to remain silent.
Although he was very curious now, he absolutely did not want to see Su Xi's arrogant demeanor.
Su Xi just smiled at Ghost Elder's attitude.
There was no need to say too much now, but she was more concerned about what was happening.
Tian Gang Zhenren had been gone for so long with no news. Could he have encountered danger?
Ghost Elder heard Su Xi's concern and directly gave her a white eye.
Was this person truly a successor of Tian Gang Zhenren's lineage? To say something like this now.
How powerful Tian Gang Zhenren was, this person clearly didn't know, yet she was still worried about them.
If Tian Gang Zhenren also ran into trouble, then no one else would be able to escape this place. Instead of worrying about Tian Gang Zhenren, she should worry about herself.
Su Xi looked at the confidence on Ghost Elder's face, didn't argue, but smiled instead, "Aren't you being a bit too confident?"
Hearing Su Xi's words, Ghost Elder pursed his lips, "Aren't you lacking too much confidence in Tian Gang Zhenren?"
Su Xi didn't argue with Ghost Elder, but quietly watched the scene before them.
At this moment, of course, she didn't want any accidents to happen.
But facts were facts, and some problems couldn't be solved just by relying on feelings.
Just as Ghost Elder was about to enlighten Su Xi on how formidable Tian Gang Zhenren was back in the day, he saw Tian Gang Zhenren flying over from a distance, trembling precariously.
Tian Gang Zhenren's white robes were now stained red with blood.
The aura emanating from his body was also fluctuating, appearing severely injured.
???
What was going on? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Ghost Elder looked at the scene before him, unable to believe it, and stared at Su Xi with astonishment.
Did this person have precognitive abilities?
Su Xi also felt helpless about her jinxing luck. She had only been trying to analyze rationally, not truly curse Tian Gang Zhenren.
Although she didn't know why her words had such an effect, she knew that a major problem had arisen.
Forgetting to conceal herself, she ran out and helped Tian Gang Zhenren, "Ancestor Master, what happened?"
Tian Gang Zhenren shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just killed too many people, and ran out of some strength."
Upon hearing Tian Gang Zhenren's words, Su Xi and Ghost Elder examined him closely and understood that the blood on Tian Gang Zhenren's body was not his own, but that of his enemies.
With this realization, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tian Gang Zhenren was not injured.
However, after relaxing, their faces instantly became solemn.
How many enemies were there ahead that even Tian Gang Zhenren felt tired?
