Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but ask the system about his doubts, "I haven't connected with the depths of the underworld yet, have I? Why can I enter the depths of the underworld?"

"Because of the old man beside the host, I can't even see through his identity. If he can really take you to the depths of the underworld, it might be beneficial to you. But I still have to remind the host, the depths of the underworld are very dangerous, you must be careful," the system responded to him.

Even the system couldn't see through this old man's identity, so he was indeed mysterious enough.

Now, Yuan Mu Ye was even more curious about his identity.

This old man could actually go to the depths of the underworld, which proved that his status was not low.

Actually, thinking about it, he had stayed in the underworld for so long, so his status must be higher than that of ordinary ghosts and gods.

It was just that Yuan Mu Ye couldn't understand why, if his status was so high, he would stay in the Wangchuan River?

This was indeed puzzling.

"Old sir, may I be so bold as to ask, can I enter the depths of the underworld?"

Ghost Master Ye said that the depths of the underworld were heavily guarded, so ordinary people had no way to enter.

The old man chuckled and looked at him with a calm gaze, saying, "Why can't you go in? You used to be half the master of the underworld!"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's heart trembled. Although that was true, it was all in the past. Now, he was just a mortal.

If he rashly broke into the underworld like this, if the people below found out, they would definitely not let him off so easily.

Ghost Master Ye probably saw Yuan Mu Ye's worries and said, "My Lord, with him protecting you, you don't have to be afraid."

Yuan Mu Ye smiled, hoping that was the case!

Soon, Yuan Mu Ye noticed something. The boat, which was originally traveling very fast, was now traveling very slowly, and the old man was rowing very laboriously.

"Old sir, what's going on?" Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

The old man replied calmly, "The Wangchuan River carries too many people's memories, grievances, and those ghosts who are unwilling to enter reincarnation, so the deeper you go, the slower the boat travels. Oh, right, the wronged souls in the river may confuse you later, so don't look into the river, or you will be dragged down."

"What happens if you get dragged down?" Yuan Mu Ye asked curiously.

Regarding the Wangchuan River, Yuan Mu Ye had only heard others talk about it before, or had seen some rough descriptions from TV and books. What the real Wangchuan River was like, even if he knew before, he didn't remember now.

"If you get dragged down, you won't come up," the old man replied, word by word.

Won't come up!

Yuan Mu Ye's heart trembled, that was quite terrifying.

The further in they went, the calmer the river became. Even when the oars passed through the surface of the river, it was difficult to create ripples.

Suddenly, Yuan Mu Ye heard someone calling his name.

"Mu Ye, Mu Ye!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yuan Mu Ye's heart tightened. He was only stunned for a few seconds, and his mind was almost controlled.

The voice was coming from under the boat, and Yuan Mu Ye almost couldn't help but look down.

"Mu Ye, why are you ignoring me? It's so cold in the water, why don't you come down?"

It had to be said that these ghosts' ability to pry into people's hearts was really amazing. He knew how to exploit Yuan Mu Ye's weaknesses.

The person Yuan Mu Ye cared about most now was Liang Sen Yu.

So, listening to the voice that was exactly the same as Liang Sen Yu's, Yuan Mu Ye felt a little moved. He could only keep reminding himself that the person speaking was not the real Liang Sen Yu.

"Wuwu, Mu Ye, do you not want me anymore? Why did you leave me here alone? I've been waiting for you for so many years, and I finally waited for you..."

The ghost under the boat said a lot, each word piercing his heart.

Yuan Mu Ye was very firm at first, but listening to the ghost's cries, the defense in his heart was broken down little by little.

In the end, he couldn't help but glance at the surface of the river.

But with just this one glance, a black hand stretched out from the river and dragged him down before he could react.

"Ah..."

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Mu Ye was pulled into the Wangchuan River.

The moment he fell into the river, Yuan Mu Ye woke up, but it was too late. He struggled to get out of the water, but he felt that what was engulfing him was not water, but lead.

He simply couldn't break free from the surface of the river, and he was suffocating under the pressure.

At this moment, ghostly faces flashed before his eyes, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

It was at this time that he realized that in the face of these things, he was like an ant.

Soon, his consciousness began to blur.

"My Lord, you must not fall asleep, if you fall asleep, you may not wake up," Ghost Master Ye reminded anxiously.

But Yuan Mu Ye had already closed his eyes and couldn't hear what he was saying.

The old man sitting on the boat shook his head helplessly and muttered in a low voice, "Young people, they just can't resist temptation. They know it's fake, but they still have to look."

Seeing that Yuan Mu Ye didn't react at all, Ghost Master Ye could only ask the old man for help, "Lord Wangchuan, please save my lord!"

He didn't know what to call the old man, so he just thought of one, thinking that this title wouldn't be disrespectful.

"Don't worry, since I brought him here, I won't let anything happen to him."

The old man said lightly, then leaned over and stretched his hand into the Wangchuan River, pulling Yuan Mu Ye up.

Yuan Mu Ye was lying on the bed, soaked to the bone.

The old man raised his hand and waved it gently, and his wet clothes became dry.

"My Lord, wake up!"

Ghost Master Ye called Yuan Mu Ye several times, but seeing that he still didn't react, he almost couldn't help but come out.

"He's fine, he just couldn't withstand the pressure of the Wangchuan River for a while, it's good for him to sleep for a while."

Hearing the old man say this, Ghost Master Ye didn't say anything more.

The old man could pull Yuan Mu Ye up so easily, which was enough to prove his strength.

After that, the old man continued to sail the boat.

After an unknown amount of time, the boat finally reached the shore.

Ghost Master Ye hadn't been to the depths of the underworld for a long time, so he was still a little excited to be back.

"Alas, I didn't expect a thousand years to pass so quickly." Ghost Master Ye couldn't help but sigh.

For them, a thousand years was also a long time. After all, a thousand years in the human world could experience many dynasties.

"Yes, this kid has also been away from the underworld for a thousand years." The old man also sighed.

After speaking, the old man woke Yuan Mu Ye up.

No matter how Ghost Master Ye called him just now, he wouldn't wake up, but now he woke up as soon as the old man called him.
