Li Mo Li looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a deep gaze and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Have you considered how those evil ghosts escaped, given the Underworld's tight security?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's heart sank. Yes, with such tight security in the Underworld, how could evil ghosts escape?

Something must have happened!

Or perhaps someone released these evil ghosts.

If that's the case, why would they do that?

Did they want to destroy the human realm?

Or was it that someone wanted to rule the human realm?

Regardless of the reason, releasing evil ghosts to bring disaster to the human realm was an unforgivable crime.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Li Mo Li with icy eyes and said, "So what are you thinking?"

"Yuan Mu Ye, some things are destined. Why bother trying to change them? And with your power, what can you change?" Li Mo Li said calmly.

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye finally understood Li Mo Li's intention, which was simply to tell him not to interfere.

Yuan Mu Ye chuckled and said, "According to you, evil ghosts eating people is a destined outcome, and we shouldn't interfere."

"That's right. Think about it, if the Heavenly Dao opposed it, how could we have the chance to eat living people?"

Li Mo Li smiled slyly.

Yuan Mu Ye felt that this person was going further and further afield, first the Underworld, then the Heavenly Dao. This matter was clearly someone deliberately stirring up trouble!

However, Yuan Mu Ye calmed down and thought about it, and felt that Li Mo Li's words were not without reason.

If the Heavenly Dao didn't allow it, how could evil ghosts wreak havoc in the human realm?

Yuan Mu Ye had never considered this question before, but now that he thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible.

"Don't act like you know everything," Yuan Mu Ye said coldly.

Li Mo Li didn't argue with him. She shrugged and replied lazily, "Whether what I said is true or not, you'll know in time. Anyway, there's still time. Are you interested in accompanying me to the depths of the Underworld to take a look?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's heart tightened. The last time he entered the Underworld, he only looked around outside and didn't go inside. Moreover, Ghost Advisor Ye had said that it wasn't so easy to enter now.

What's more, this was only Li Mo Li's dream, and what he saw might not be real.

Li Mo Li saw Yuan Mu Ye hesitating and said, "Are you going or not? If you miss this village, there won't be another shop."

"It's just a dream. Maybe it's all your imagination. I'm not going!"

Yuan Mu Ye wasn't stupid. Moreover, he couldn't control Li Mo Li's dream right now. What he saw might be Li Mo Li misleading him, so he didn't want to see those unreal things.

Li Mo Li glanced at him and said, "I thought you were very brave. I didn't expect you to be so timid."

"I'm leaving."

Just as Yuan Mu Ye was about to leave, Li Mo Li said again, "Since you're here, whether it's real or fake, go take a look. Anyway, there's nothing to lose. You're not afraid of a dream, are you?"

"What a joke? Let's go then!"

Yuan Mu Ye wanted to see what this woman was up to.

Afterward, he followed Li Mo Li to the Gates of Hell. Perhaps because it was a dream, there wasn't a single ghost in the Gates of Hell.

Stepping onto the Huangquan Road (Road to the Yellow Springs), they saw a few scattered ghostly figures walking around. The further they went, the more desolate the scene became. They could even see black *bi an hua* (spider lilies) growing in the depths of Hell.

Those black spider lilies were nourished by *yin qi* and were very lush. A ghostly wind blew, and the flowers swayed in the wind. A strange fragrance permeated the Huangquan Road.

Although it was a dream, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but shudder.

After passing the Huangquan Road was the Wangchuan River (River of Oblivion).

Yuan Mu Ye had heard many legends about the Wangchuan River, so he was quite excited when he was about to see it.

However, when he actually saw it, he found that the Wangchuan River was a little different from what he had imagined.

The water in this Wangchuan River was pitch-black, and the surface of the river seemed to be still, like a dead river.

Standing by the river, Yuan Mu Ye felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

Suddenly, Yuan Mu Ye's reflection appeared on the surface of the river, but strangely, the Yuan Mu Ye in the river was smiling, smiling eerily and creepily.

Yuan Mu Ye was also startled. He was clearly not smiling, so why was the reflection smiling?

At this moment, Li Mo Li walked to Yuan Mu Ye's side, looked at Yuan Mu Ye's reflection, and smiled meaningfully.

"It seems I guessed right. You really are hiding a secret," Li Mo Li said calmly.

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was also stunned. He turned his head and looked at Li Mo Li in surprise and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you know? The Wangchuan River hides people's past and present lives. You can find back the things you've forgotten from the Wangchuan River. Don't you want to find back your previous memories?" Li Mo Li stared into Yuan Mu Ye's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Mu Ye's heart sank. Previous memories?

If he could retrieve his memories from a thousand years ago, he would know what happened in the Underworld.

But would forcibly retrieving those memories help him?

"What exactly are you up to?" Yuan Mu Ye knew that this woman had been ill-intentioned from the beginning. Li Mo Li seemed to be guiding him to retrieve something lost, something he no longer remembered.

He didn't know whether retrieving those things would be good or bad for him.

Li Mo Li glanced at him and said, "I don't have any intention. I'm just saying it casually. Whether you do it or not depends on you."

There was nothing wrong with what she said.

After all, Li Mo Li couldn't force me to enter the Wangchuan River.

Li Mo Li must have an intention for having such thoughts.

As for what the intention was, Yuan Mu Ye didn't know. He always felt that this woman knew something, but she wasn't willing to say it.

Just as Yuan Mu Ye was pondering, a wooden boat suddenly sailed over the Wangchuan River. There was an old man in black clothes rowing the boat.

When Li Mo Li saw the old man, her expression changed immediately and she said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

"What's wrong?" Yuan Mu Ye hadn't reacted yet when Li Mo Li pulled him away.

Back on the Huangquan Road, Li Mo Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily that old man didn't call us just now, otherwise we would have been finished."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was even more curious. He looked at Li Mo Li in confusion and asked, "Why? Who is that old man?"

"I don't know who that old man is. Anyway, he's lived for a long time, longer than any ghost or god in the Underworld. I heard that his boat is specially for carrying those wronged souls who don't want to be reincarnated," Li Mo Li said with lingering fear when she mentioned the old man.

Hearing her say that, Yuan Mu Ye also became curious about the old man's identity.
