Chapter 285 Overwhelming

Tiangang Zhenren heard Su Xi's arrangement but remained silent. For him, it didn't matter where he went now. Following Su Xi, at least there would be more interesting things. After all, with his cultivation, wherever he went, the situation would be the same. Now that he had recovered, those past grievances had to be resolved. Staying in the Underworld was not only for Su Xi but also more importantly for the matters at hand.

Ghost Elder sensed the sudden change and fluctuation in Tiangang Zhenren's aura, and he was surprised. Who had angered this distinguished gentleman? He couldn't help but tremble a few times, feeling that the world had gone a bit mad. However, looking at Tiangang Zhenren before him, Ghost Elder dared not say anything. Now he knew that Tiangang Zhenren's killing intent was very strong, so if he carelessly touched the wrong nerve, his life would surely be forfeit. He valued his life and didn't want to court death.

Su Xi saw that Ghost Elder had dealt with the surrounding ghosts, so she proposed, "Since the trouble here is resolved, we need to find the others and leave this ghost place together." She remembered that many people had entered with her, so she couldn't abandon them. Those who came in together should leave together.

Tiangang Zhenren was very satisfied with Su Xi's loyalty. He then looked at Ghost Elder and directly ordered, "Go and find them now. This place is not simple, and we can't let anything happen to them."

"Hmm?" Su Xi looked at Ghost Elder, her face showing disbelief. Did Ghost Elder have such abilities? Wasn't finding people something only the Howling Celestial Dog could do? How could Ghost Elder also have the ability to find people? The Underworld was vast, and with the interference of numerous ghosts, it was very difficult to find people nearby, let alone in such a large area. Had the Ancestral Master really made no mistake?

Ghost Elder looked at Tiangang Zhenren with tears about to fall, nodded, and dared not voice his complaints. Every time he had to find people, it consumed a great deal of energy. He had just come out, and such a large expenditure, he didn't know if his body could withstand it. He was young and couldn't exhaust his body. However, he also knew very well that since Tiangang Zhenren had spoken, he had to obey. If he didn't, his life would be gone. Gritting his teeth, Ghost Elder began to activate the techniques within his body.

Watching all this, Ghost Elder shouted, and dense black lines began to emerge from his body. With the appearance of these black lines, a violent explosion occurred in the sky, and then that black aura rapidly spread outwards. As the black aura spread outwards, Ghost Elder's body seemed to have faded considerably, and the aura within his body began to diminish.

Su Xi watched Ghost Elder's body rapidly fading and almost suspected that he had exhausted himself to death while searching for people. Just as Su Xi was about to inform Tiangang Zhenren to save him, she suddenly saw Ghost Elder's body move. Immediately, Ghost Elder returned to normal and then looked at Su Xi, saying gravely, "The person you are looking for is in that place." Although he had found the person, he could sense a powerful aura emanating from that location.

"Let's go." Although Su Xi didn't know how Ghost Elder found the person so quickly, she didn't doubt him at all. After all, Tiangang Zhenren thought highly of him and wouldn't lie.

Along the way, Su Xi did not feel calm. All sorts of malevolent spirits and monsters constantly rushed towards them, attacking and harassing them.

"???" The situation before them made Su Xi and the others feel extremely surprised and disbelieving that this was real. These ghosts were mindless spirits and would not normally attack people, but now they were all attacking. If it were said that no one was controlling all this, it would be abnormal.

"What's going on?" Su Xi looked at Ghost Elder, wanting an answer. After all, she had no idea about these circumstances. Ghost Elder was a very powerful person, so perhaps he would know something. Therefore, now...

Ghost Elder looked around and then said, "It seems someone doesn't want us to be here, so they have set up so many obstacles to prevent us from investigating." At this moment, he had found clues and could make a judgment.

Hearing Ghost Elder's words, Su Xi's gaze fell on the place ahead. She also noticed the abnormal situation.

"Come out. Hiding is not the act of a hero," Ghost Elder said, looking into the darkness ahead. He was very curious as to who dared to act so brazenly in front of them. Their current strength was enough to turn the Underworld upside down with ease, even to the point of going in and out seven times. Yet, there were still people who were blind and wanted to make a move against them. Were they truly ignorant, or was it intentional? If it was true ignorance, what kind of person would do such a thing?

"You have indeed exceeded my expectations, to be able to discover my location." As the voice emerged, a man about eight feet tall walked out of the darkness, his cold laughter occasionally heard. This man was enveloped in black energy, and his pair of green eyes made people's gazes falter.

Su Xi looked at the person before her with confusion. How did this person look so much like a Yaksha from hell? These Yakshas were inherently powerful, and encountering one now was also a troublesome matter. Fortunately, she already had helpers; otherwise, she would have no way to escape now. If the Yaksha was unyielding, then he would only end up with ashes and smoke.

The Yaksha looked at Su Xi, a smile appearing on his face. In his smile, there was a hint of excitement and joy. The Underworld had not seen such a vigorous and vital person in many years, so if he couldn't devour them, he might not be able to sleep at night.

Ghost Elder watched as the Yaksha completely ignored him, a string of exasperation appearing on his forehead. Was he so easily overlooked? And with him present, could someone harm Su Xi? If all this really happened, Tiangang Zhenren would surely beat him into a fool.

"Make your move," Ghost Elder said, beckoning to the Yaksha. Having been imprisoned in that ghost place for so many years, he had accumulated a great deal of pent-up anger, and he could not tolerate being ignored. Therefore, to vent his anger, he was determined not to let this Yaksha have an easy time.

The Yaksha looked at Ghost Elder standing before him and sneered, "Do you think with your kind of trash, I can't deal with you? With your strength, I can defeat ten of you."

Ghost Elder was ridiculed by the Yaksha before him, and a string of question marks appeared on his forehead. What was going on? Had all the people in the Underworld become so arrogant, no longer taking him seriously? After so many years of not being out, the legends of him had indeed been forgotten by the world. If others had seen him before, they wouldn't have dared to breathe heavily, but now they had become like this. To prove himself again, Ghost Elder decisively chose to act, preparing to destroy everything before him.

Black energy erupted from Ghost Elder's body, and then a series of black mist enveloped the Yaksha. This black mist was not mere black energy; it contained the essence of his cultivation over the years, possessing strong corrosive properties. Anything that came into contact with it would be completely corroded. Furthermore, this corrosion was irreversible and incurable. Previously, a Golden Immortal had offended him and suffered greatly. What more could be said of a Yaksha whose level was so much weaker than a Golden Immortal? Wouldn't it be a simple matter of taking him down?

This move was Ghost Elder's trump card, prepared to swiftly cut through the tangle and devour the Yaksha before him. However, although the black mist enveloped the Yaksha, it had no effect whatsoever. At this moment, the Yaksha stood within the black mist, still looking calm, a smile on his lips, clearly unaffected. It seemed that what was surrounding him was not Ghost Elder's poisonous gas, but merely ordinary black mist. Even as time passed, the black mist was being continuously devoured by the Yaksha.

"Is that all you've got?" the Yaksha sneered without any concealment, and then he made a sudden move. As he moved, he reached directly into the black mist. Immediately, Su Xi saw him grab Ghost Elder and hold him in his hand. The immense force instantly deformed Ghost Elder's body.

Seeing this, Su Xi's mouth fell open. She had originally thought Ghost Elder was very powerful, but how was he like a child in front of the Yaksha, unable to resist at all? Seeing this, Su Xi looked at Tiangang Zhenren beside her and asked, "Ancestral Master, what should we do now?" It was clear that Ghost Elder couldn't win. If they didn't act, the person might be beaten to death.

Looking at the scene before him, Tiangang Zhenren, although silent, showed a look of solemnity. Strange, it was truly strange. According to his understanding, the Yaksha should not have been able to defeat Ghost Elder. Even ten Yakshas would have had no chance to fight. But now, Ghost Elder not only had no ability to resist in front of the Yaksha but had become like a fool.

The Yaksha grabbed Ghost Elder and punched him repeatedly on the head. Ghost Elder's head began to shrink visibly. Ghost Elder was instantly dizzy and disoriented, but fortunately, due to the special nature of his body, he suffered no damage. It was just that this method was humiliating, making him want to cry. However, he felt the Yaksha's immense strength and could not break free.

Ghost Elder looked at Tiangang Zhenren and communicated with his eyes in helplessness, "Can you save me? If this continues, I will truly lose face."

Seeing Ghost Elder's plea for help, Tiangang Zhenren could no longer stand by and watch. He suddenly made his move. The Yaksha had already sensed Tiangang Zhenren lurking nearby, so when he saw him charge over, he was already on guard. However, even though he was prepared, it was useless. In the face of absolute strength, all moves were mere distractions. Therefore, Tiangang Zhenren directly grabbed the Yaksha. This action was simply a replica of what had just happened.

Ghost Elder seized the opportunity to escape the Yaksha's grasp and immediately began to cough. He had not expected that as soon as he made a move, he would encounter such a powerful enemy. Such immense strength was truly terrifying. Suddenly, he noticed Su Xi's gaze and was instantly enraged. What was that look? It wasn't that he was too weak, but rather that the Yaksha was too formidable.
