Chapter 168 The Bottom of the Yellow Springs

Down in the Yellow Springs, Qiao Yu was desperately tearing at the black hair that was entangling him.

But the corpse demon’s black hair was tougher than steel wire, and no matter how hard Qiao Yu tried, he couldn't break it.

At the critical moment, Zhu Jiuyin manipulated the Zhulong Yanyue Blade and instantly cut off the black hair, allowing Qiao Yu to escape.

"Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist!"

Having broken free, Qiao Yu didn't hesitate at all, and blasted out a Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist infused with Yin lightning power.

In the outside world, this Hundred Transformations Fist with Yin lightning would even make a pseudo-god take notice.

But here in the Yellow Springs, the punch only managed to make the corpse demon sway slightly to the side.

"Zhu Jiuyin!" Qiao Yu chanted silently in his heart, and the Zhulong Yanyue Blade instantly returned to his hand.

He didn't dare to linger any longer. In the short time he had paused, the number of corpse demons nearby had become even more terrifying, even blocking out the sky above Qiao Yu’s head.

"Electric Dragon Drill!"

Qiao Yu gripped the end of the Zhulong Yanyue Blade, Yin lightning power gathered at the tip of the blade, and he spun around, charging straight ahead.

This move proved effective. The corpse demons seemed somewhat afraid of the Zhulong Yanyue Blade, and Qiao Yu managed to break through the encirclement.

After breaking out, Qiao Yu fled in panic, choosing a random direction and rushing out.

These corpse demons were simply too strange. Qiao Yu would rather face the Yellow Springs Dragon Corpse Kun than these living dead things.

And the corpse demons just hung behind Qiao Yu, making it look as if Qiao Yu was leading countless corpse demons on a journey.

The scene at this moment was a bit like flying a kite at the beach, except that the kite… was a pale, bloated corpse!

The corpse demons didn't seem willing to let Qiao Yu go easily, and kept following him closely.

Qiao Yu was so scared that he ran for his life. He could guarantee that he had never run so fast in his life!

As he ran, Qiao Yu suddenly noticed a faint glow ahead.

Qiao Yu was shocked. In this cold and gloomy Yellow Springs, there was actually light?

Without thinking, Qiao Yu rushed towards the source of the light.

When he arrived, he discovered that the light was actually coming from a strange ancient well!

The ancient well was built with a kind of jade stone that Qiao Yu didn't recognize. Unfortunately, the wellhead had been blocked by someone, making it obviously an abandoned well.

But strangely, when Qiao Yu rushed to the ancient well, the corpse demons that had been following him suddenly stopped and stared at him from a distance.

"They don't dare to come over? Are they afraid of this well?"

Qiao Yu was somewhat surprised, then looked at the well beside him. The well was extremely large, requiring dozens of strong men to join hands to encircle the wellhead.

Even the strangely terrifying corpse demons didn't dare to approach, so what kind of existence was this well?

It was only now that Qiao Yu had the chance to look around.

He discovered that he could vaguely see stone walls around him, sloping down from all directions.

And in the very center of these stone walls seemed to be this ancient well!

"Could it be that this ancient well was the entrance to the Underworld in the past?" Qiao Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He felt that his guess was probably close to the truth.

That meant he had successfully reached the deepest part of the Yellow Springs.

After all, the real Underworld had already遁入虚无 (dùnrù xūwú –遁入: to escape into; 虚无: nothingness), so it was no wonder that the wellhead of this ancient well was blocked.

Qiao Yu tried to condense his power to blast the well wall of the ancient well, and also tried to chop it with the Zhulong Yanyue Blade, but all in vain, unable to leave even the slightest trace on the well wall.

This made Qiao Yu even more certain of his guess.

"But now that I've reached the bottom of the Yellow Springs, why haven't I seen Jia Fengyuan?"

Qiao Yu frowned. Before coming down, Rui Wei had given him a portrait of Jia Fengyuan and described some of Jia Fengyuan’s characteristics to him.

But since he entered the Yellow Springs, Qiao Yu hadn't seen anyone at all except for those corpse demons.

Could it be that Jia Fengyuan had long been swallowed by the Yellow Springs Dragon Corpse Kun, digested, and excreted?

Wait... Corpse demons?

A flash of inspiration struck Qiao Yu's mind.

Jia Fengyuan was peerless and unmatched, but in the end, he was stuck at the True God Realm and couldn't break through.

Such a person would definitely not be willing to die like this, so didn't that perfectly meet the conditions for transforming into a corpse demon?

"As expected of me!"

Realizing this, Qiao Yu took out the portrait Rui Wei had given him and began to examine the faces of the corpse demons surrounding the ancient well.

Each of those bloated, pale faces, combined with the greyish-white, dead eyes, would probably terrify any ordinary person.

Even though Qiao Yu was a necromancer who dealt with corpses every day, he couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.

Thousands of dead people staring at you with wide eyes in the water was something no one could stand.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu was certain that these corpse demons didn't dare to approach the ancient well, which relieved him.

Holding the portrait, he looked at them one by one, his eyes starting to blur.

The dead faces of these corpse demons all looked similar. Finding Jia Fengyuan among them was no different from finding Lin Junjie among a thousand Guo Dongluns with hair.

Fortunately, the insight of his Ghost Eyes was extremely powerful. After about three hours, when his brain was starting to feel dizzy, a look of joy flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes.

"Found you! Jia Fengyuan!"

Qiao Yu stared at one of the corpse demons, an unusually burly man who stood quietly in the water like a small hill.

The clothes sewn from expensive silk had been bleached white by the Yellow Springs water, revealing the man's pale skin.

Even though he had become a corpse demon, the man's face still wore a furious expression, as if he was questioning the injustice of the heavens.

Although Jia Fengyuan had been found, a new problem arose. How could Qiao Yu pull him out from among so many corpse demons?

And now that Jia Fengyuan was also a corpse demon, Qiao Yu couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't attack him.

"Scholar Ghost, do you think these corpse demons are alive or dead? Why can they still detect me even after I activated the Six Paths Power?"

Qiao Yu stroked his chin and pondered, not knowing whether he was asking the Scholar Ghost or talking to himself.

"I'm not very clear either. They don't seem like living things. These corpse demons seem to act more on instinct, just like a tiger hunts a gazelle, and a corpse demon wants to hunt you!" said the Scholar Ghost.

"Right? That's what I thought too. Great minds think alike!"

Qiao Yu revealed a kind smile.

"I have another opinion. Because I am alive, these corpse demons are chasing after me relentlessly. As a ghost, they shouldn't chase after you, right?"

The Scholar Ghost's expression changed drastically, and he had a bad feeling.

"Qiao Yu, I can't do it, don't mess around! Calm down!!!"

Qiao Yu ignored the Scholar Ghost's resistance.

He had finally made it down here and found Jia Fengyuan. How could he be willing to give up now!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay. You help me get Jia Fengyuan over here, and I'll find you two hundred beautiful female ghosts next time to let you have a good time!"

Qiao Yu directly grabbed the Scholar Ghost from the undead space and threw him out.

"Go!"
