"Get lost, Qiao Yu said he doesn't want to see anyone."

Facing the attendant's shouts, Purgatory Corpse King glanced at him indifferently.

In an instant, the attendant's hair stood on end, and a chill shot straight to the top of his head. He felt like he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast.

With just one look from Purgatory Corpse King, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced attendant was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, his mouth wide open and his face pale, before collapsing to the ground.

Purgatory Corpse King laughed. A mere Saint-level piece of trash dares to act tough here?

He, Black Phoenix, and Nine-tailed Fox had long noticed the Fenglei Envoy and this attendant, but one was a demigod and the other was Saint-level.

With their strength, they could wipe out a dozen of these trash with a single breath, so naturally they wouldn't take them seriously.

It's like you're a special forces soldier on vacation and you come across a little hamster. Would you immediately treat it like a major enemy and pull out a Gatling gun to blast the hamster to smithereens?

What Purgatory Corpse King and the others didn't expect was that the timing of the attendant's shout was too coincidental. It happened to be at the moment when Qiao Yu was about to condense his divine sense.

A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole.

Just like a rocket launch with an extra millimeter of error, Qiao Yu's efforts over the past few days were all in vain. The condensation of his divine sense failed, causing his soul to shatter into pieces and dissipate.

At the critical moment, Scholar Ghost could no longer bother hiding his strength. Terrifying nether energy surged from his body.

If Qiao Yu died, then all his efforts would really be in vain. At least that old codger Hermes managed to break through the seal and get out!

"Forget it! Let's take a gamble! The worst that could happen is I'll just slumber for another ten thousand years!"

"Great Nether Seal!"

Scholar Ghost raised a hand, and a surging wave of nether energy frantically poured into Qiao Yu's body, as if the ultimate destination of everything in the world was to transform into this almost-nothingness black aura.

This was the purest nether energy!

As this nether energy left his body, Scholar Ghost's body gradually became blurred.

Strands of nether energy poured into Qiao Yu's body, and then intertwined like silkworms, forming a huge cocoon that enveloped Qiao Yu's shattered soul.

Under the shroud of nether energy, Qiao Yu's shattered soul finally stopped dissipating.

Qiao Yu slowly opened his eyes. The blue-golden eyes that he usually had were now very dim.

"Should I call you Scholar Ghost... or... Hades, King of the Underworld?" Qiao Yu's expression was a little complicated.

The moment Scholar Ghost displayed his power, he finally believed that this ghost who often hid in his undead space and slept was really, as he said, the King of the Underworld?

Those pure, impurity-free streams of nether energy clearly couldn't deceive anyone.

"Whatever, call me whatever you want! Next, don't ask anything, just listen to me!"

Scholar Ghost opened his mouth weakly, his ghost body now blurred to the extreme.

"First, the condensation of your divine sense failed. Originally, you were destined to die. Although I used the Great Nether Seal to stop your soul from dissipating, this is not a long-term solution. You must find a way to re-condense your divine sense as soon as possible."

"Second, I will soon fall into a deep sleep. After you go to the real underworld, enter the Hall of the King of the Underworld, where the nether energy is the most concentrated, and I will wake up. Don't worry about me."

"Third, and last!"

A solemn expression suddenly appeared on Scholar Ghost's weak face.

"Be careful of your father, Qiao Anqing! He's gone mad!"

Boom!

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly making Qiao Yu's mind buzz.

Scholar Ghost... no, the legendary Hades, King of the Underworld, was telling him to be careful of his own father, Qiao Anqing?

How was that possible?

Who was Hades? The Lord of the Underworld who had existed since the age of ancient mythology. How could such an existence possibly know his father, Qiao Anqing?

Qiao Yu wanted to ask more, but at that moment, Scholar Ghost's blurred form directly dissipated, leaving only a small black ball.

Qiao Yu carefully put the small black ball that Scholar Ghost had transformed into into his undead space. He suddenly remembered that the Corpse God had suddenly wailed earlier, saying that he was sorry to Qiao Anqing.

These three people, who should have had no connection at all, were strangely intertwined.

It was as unbelievable as finding out that your second uncle was a sworn brother of Qin Shi Huang.

"Dad... what secrets are hidden on your body?" Qiao Yu frowned, but he couldn't figure it out.

He originally thought that when his strength was enough to dominate Kaiji Star, the secrets of his parents would come to light.

But as his strength grew, he increasingly felt that his father was shrouded in one mystery after another.

Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Qiao Yu began to examine his own situation.

The damage to his soul had caused his realm to drop directly to that of an ordinary person.

Although the nether energy that Scholar Ghost had poured into his body had transformed into a large cocoon that enveloped his soul, preventing it from dissipating.

But this also created a separation between his soul and body. He was now unable to use or improve any of his powers.

Netherworld Fire, Zhulong Crescent Blade, Yellow Springs Staff, the skills of Ghost Eyes, undead magic, etc. Anything related to the soul was unusable.

The only thing left for Qiao Yu now was the powerful physical body brought to him by the perfected Youming Rakshasa Body.

In other words, Qiao Yu at this time was just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger physical body.

"Sigh! What a headache!" Qiao Yu couldn't help but smile wryly.

He had really been having bad luck since coming to the First Universe. Could this be the legendary will of heaven?

Outside the door, after the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced attendant was frightened and collapsed to the ground by Purgatory Corpse King, the old man who was the Fenglei Envoy obviously also saw that Purgatory Corpse King was extraordinary.

This guy covered in blood-colored crystal armor seemed to be a Pseudo-God existence!

However, the old man did not panic. Although his strength was not as good as the other party, as the Fenglei Envoy, he represented the entire human race!

He respectfully cupped his hands towards Purgatory Corpse King. With such a powerful protector, he began to believe that what Mu Xinxiu said was true.

This son-in-law of Hongye Country might really possess the strength of a demigod!

Thinking of this, the smile on the old man's face became brighter. If he brought back a demigod-level human genius, it would bring him super many benefits!

"Hehe, this brother, please forgive the child for being ignorant and offending you. I am the Fenglei Envoy - Xun Pu!"

Xun Pu said his name word by word.

"What the heck is Xun Pu? Never heard of it, get lost!"

However, Purgatory Corpse King didn't give Xun Pu any face at all, and even reached out and poked his ear, digging out a large piece of yellowish-brown earwax.

Then, Purgatory Corpse King flicked it lightly, and this aged earwax happened to fall into Xun Pu's mouth, who was smiling widely.

"Ugh!"

Xun Pu's smile instantly froze on his face, and then he suddenly bent over and vomited. It wasn't until he had almost emptied the contents of his stomach that Xun Pu turned his head with an angry expression.

However, he didn't dare to vent his anger on Purgatory Corpse King, and could only roar at Mu Xinxiu.

"Mu Xinxiu, is your Hongye Country tired of living? If your son-in-law doesn't come out, I, this old man, will directly cancel your quota! Your Hongye Country can forget about participating in the Fenglei Yuntai duel for the rest of your lives!"

Mu Xinxiu was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. One side was Qiao Yu, and the other was Xun Pu, he couldn't afford to offend either of them!

Just as Mu Xinxiu was anxious, with a creak, the door opened!
