Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Hei Yang had given Lu Cheng'an instructions when they entered the Netherworld.

He instructed Hei Yang to quickly test Lu Cheng'an's strength in the Netherworld and bring the news back as soon as he had concrete results.

Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang are currently in the Netherworld. Although they are not far from the Netherworld River, communication artifacts cannot reach the Netherworld River from here, as they are separated by a realm.

Lu Cheng'an did not object, and he quickly followed Hei Yang out of the Netherworld and returned to the Netherworld River Basin.

Lu Chengan and Hei Yang's trip went relatively smoothly, and they did not spend too much time on it.

After the two successfully returned to Black Sand's mansion, Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling, among other ghosts, did not go looking for Black Sand.

"Father, Fellow Daoist Lu's strength was not affected after entering the Netherworld..."

Hei Yang took Lu Cheng'an to see Hei Sha, and Hei Yang gave Hei Sha a detailed account of what Lu Cheng'an had done in the Netherworld.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu's strength is unaffected in the Netherworld, then I can accept the invitations from Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling!"

Hei Sha looked at Lu Cheng'an with a deep smile on his face: "Next, I will accept the invitation from Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling, and gather our forces to attack the three-headed vulture of Youming Valley... Fellow Daoist Lu, do you think there is anything wrong with my arrangement?"

"I think Fellow Daoist Black Sand's arrangements are fine, but I have two questions for you to answer!"

Lu Cheng'an looked at Heisha and his son, a solemn expression on his face: "Youming Valley is located in the Netherworld. I heard from Fellow Daoist Heiyang that there are quite a few powerful Netherworld ghosts in that Netherworld. Yinyue Soul Mushroom should be effective against all Netherworld ghosts."

"If you ghosts living outside the Netherworld know about the existence of the Netherworld Valley's Yin Moon Soul Fungus, then surely the ghosts living within the Netherworld itself know?"

This is Lu Cheng'an's first hidden worry. If the Netherworld spirits that know about the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom are not limited to the Three-Headed Black Vulture, then the difficulty for them to compete for the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom will greatly increase.

"I'm not entirely clear about your exact strength, and I'm unsure if joining forces with you would be enough to seize those Yin Moon Soul Mushrooms!"

Lu Cheng'an never saw the Black Sand father and son make a move. If their strength was too weak, it would be difficult for them to snatch the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom from the group of Netherworld ghosts.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's concerns are valid; we have naturally considered these issues!"

Hei Sha chuckled and said, "The three-headed vultures living in the Netherworld Valley are the most powerful race within a thousand miles. Moreover, this race is extremely strict in its defense of the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom. There shouldn't be too many Netherworld ghosts in the Netherworld who know that the Netherworld Valley has the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom. Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't need to worry about that."

"As for our strength, Fellow Daoist Lu, you need not worry at all. My strength is relatively ordinary, but my son's strength is extremely formidable. If it were a one-on-one fight, Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling would all be no match for my son!"

A confident smile appeared on Black Sand's face, clearly showing his great confidence in his son's abilities.

Hei Yang's talent was already exceptional, and after cooperating with Lu Cheng'an, they obtained many treasures from the mortal world through him.

These treasures greatly benefited Hei Yang's strength, which was the fundamental reason why his strength surpassed Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling.

“Since Fellow Daoist Black Sand is confident, then I have no more doubts!” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Of course, he still had some concerns, but he planned to wait and see when the competition for the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom came. He felt that with his strength, he should have no problem snatching a Yin Moon Soul Mushroom from those Netherworld ghosts.

As for the agreement with Black Sand and his son, we'll have to wait and see.

He would only help Hei Yang seize the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom if he was certain that he himself had managed to obtain one.

He believed that the Black Sands father and son must have the same idea, and if they encountered any dangerous situation, they would definitely sell him without hesitation.

After Lu Cheng'an finished speaking with Heisha and his son, he went to the room that Heisha and his son had arranged for him to rest.

Hei Yang did not participate in the subsequent events; he was also preparing for the later competition for the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom.

Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang are Black Sand's trump cards. Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling are unaware of Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang's true strength.

Hei Sha instructed Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang to disguise themselves as ordinary Netherworld ghosts. They would then reveal their true strength the moment the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom matured, and forcefully seize it.

After Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang left, Hei Sha immediately sent a message to Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling, accepting their invitation to help them seize the Yin Yue Soul Mushroom from Youming Valley.

Heisha was in charge of negotiating with Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling; Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang were not involved.

Time passed slowly, and more than half a month quickly went by. At this time, the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom would be fully mature in the next two or three days.

Therefore, Heisha and the ghosts Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling did not waste any more time. They led their group of third-tier ghosts through the barrier between the two worlds at the bottom of the Netherworld River and directly entered the Netherworld.

The Netherworld Valley is less than a thousand miles away from the barrier between the two realms of the Netherworld River. There are quite a few ghosts, including Black Sand, Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling, and their strength is not weak.

Their simultaneous passage through the barriers between two realms caused quite a stir.

There were no powerful Netherworld creatures near the barrier between the two worlds. Moreover, Black Sand, Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling had already cleared out the Netherworld creatures near the barrier when they entered the Netherworld.

The purpose was to ensure that they would not be discovered by the ghosts and spirits of the underworld when they entered it.

Therefore, although there were quite a few ghosts entering the Netherworld from the Nether River, they did not attract the attention of the ghosts in the Netherworld.

Black Sand, Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, Fu Ling, and other Netherworld spirits had already figured out the route to Netherworld Valley. Under their guidance, Lu Cheng'an and these Netherworld spirits sped towards Netherworld Valley.

Lu Cheng'an and Hei Yang mingled among the Netherworld ghosts led by Hei Sha, concealing their true cultivation levels and disguising themselves as ordinary late-stage third-tier ghosts.

The Minor Transformation Technique is extremely powerful. Relying on this minor technique, along with the power of the Netherworld Tablet, Lu Cheng'an was able to conceal his true identity even while mingling among a large group of Netherworld ghosts.

Soon after, Black Sand and other ghostly creatures such as Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling appeared outside a huge valley, which was the Valley of the Netherworld.

The Valley of the Netherworld is extremely vast, and this open-air valley is filled with incredibly dense trees from the Netherworld. These trees are not ordinary trees; they all exude a rich Netherworld aura, similar to spiritual plants in the mortal world.

"Black Sand, please do another calculation. When exactly will the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom mature?" Luo Sheng asked in a deep voice.

Luo Sheng is an extremely large and robust ghost, and he is the most powerful ghost in the Netherworld River.

"Half an hour before the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom is fully mature, it will release a very obvious aura that will cover an area of ​​a hundred miles. At that time, we will be able to know whether the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom is mature or not."

After Heisha's voice faded, he turned his gaze away from the Netherworld Valley ahead and said with a smile, "Let's hide for now. There are more than just the Three-Headed Black Vultures in this Netherworld who know about the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom."

Hei Sha did not possess the same formidable spiritual power as Lu Cheng'an. His ability to detect other Netherworld creatures coveting the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom was based on deduction.

Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, Fu Ling, and other ghosts were quite aware of Hei Sha's abilities, so they did not object to Hei Sha's proposal. Instead, they carefully hid outside the Netherworld Valley, waiting for the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom in the Netherworld Valley to truly mature.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, Fu Ling, and other ghosts, who had been anxiously waiting outside the Netherworld Valley for two days, suddenly sensed a very obvious aura emanating from the Netherworld Valley. This aura clearly came from the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom, which was about to mature.

The instant this aura was released, several extremely powerful auras roared out from the Netherworld Valley.

The moment these powerful auras appeared, cries echoed from within the Netherworld Valley.

These breaths and cries all come from the three-headed vultures that live in the Valley of the Underworld!
"Black Sand, should we make our move now?" Luo Sheng asked, slightly excited.

Luo Sheng was very confident in his abilities; he believed he could definitely seize a Yin Moon Soul Mushroom.

His cultivation had been stuck at the third-order perfect realm for a long time. If he could successfully obtain the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom this time, he would have a great chance to break through to the fourth order.

The barrier between the Netherworld River and the Netherworld is now almost negligible, allowing him to enter the Netherworld at any time.

The Netherworld is a world that truly belongs to these Netherworld ghosts. If his cultivation successfully breaks through to the fourth level, he will be able to protect himself even in the extremely dangerous Netherworld.

At that time, he will be able to obtain more cultivation resources in the Netherworld, and may even be able to break through to a higher realm!

Black Sand frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "We can make our move now!"

The moment Heisha's voice fell, Luo Sheng immediately released his cultivation aura at the peak of the third rank and rushed into the Netherworld Valley first.

The moment Luo Sheng made his move, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling, these Netherworld ghosts, did not hesitate and rushed into the Netherworld Valley.

At that moment, an angry cry came from the Netherworld Valley, and then a huge, black, three-headed monster bird flew out of the Netherworld Valley.

These three strange birds are the Three-Headed Black Vultures, and the first three-headed bird to fly out is the king of the Three-Headed Black Vulture flock in the Netherworld Valley.

The Bird King flapped its wings violently, and in an instant, endless black mist surged out from its wings, whistling as it pressed down on Luo Sheng at the forefront.

Luo Sheng revealed a solemn expression. He sensed the terrifying power contained within the three-headed eagle and was somewhat worried that he was no match for it.

However, without any hesitation, he immediately drew a blood-red scimitar in response to the attack of the three-headed black vulture.

This blood-red scimitar is a top-grade third-tier magic weapon. Although it is not Luo Sheng's natal magic weapon, it has been refined by Luo Sheng with his own blood essence for a long time and is a magic weapon that is intertwined with Luo Sheng's life.

After Luo Sheng summoned the blood-red scimitar, it instantly transformed into a vast, flowing blood-red river, crashing directly into the black mist.

With a deafening roar, the blood-red river and surging black mist trembled violently. In an instant, terrifying power erupted, and the dense forest in the Netherworld Valley was instantly reduced to countless dust particles by this force.

In their encounter, Luo Sheng and the three-headed black vulture both sensed the terrifying strength of the other and developed a deep sense of apprehension towards it.

However, they did not hesitate and soon engaged in combat again.

After Luo Sheng clashed with the three-headed vulture, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, Fu Ling, Hei Sha, and other Netherworld ghosts immediately engaged in battle with the other three-headed vultures that rushed out of the Netherworld Valley.

The number of three-headed vultures in the Netherworld Valley is indeed extremely large, but it is still somewhat smaller compared to the number of Netherworld ghosts in the Netherworld River Basin such as Luo Sheng, Tu Ming, Zi Ying, and Fu Ling.

Moreover, the Netherworld ghosts of Luo Sheng and the others in the Netherworld River are even stronger, and it is only a matter of time before they defeat those three-headed vultures.

After a brief exchange between the three-headed vultures and the ghostly creatures like Luo Sheng, the ghostly creatures hidden in the shadows finally couldn't resist making their move.

Instead of attacking Luo Sheng and the other ghostly beings, they attacked the three-headed vultures together.

These three-headed vultures and the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom live together in the Netherworld Valley. They have a better understanding of the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom and are more likely to obtain it.

Only by killing all these three-headed vultures will they have a greater chance of obtaining the Yin Moon Soul Mushroom.

"You are seeking death!"

Seeing his kin dying one after another, the bird king, at the peak of the third tier, let out an angry cry. Then, it raised its three long, thin necks, opened its sharp beaks, and three streams of dark light shot out from its three heads at the same time.

These three streams of dark light are the strongest attack methods mastered by the three-headed black vultures. However, their own strength will be greatly affected after they activate this attack.

The king bird's attack was aimed at Rashomon.

Upon sensing the terrifying power contained within the three streams of dark light, Luo Sheng's expression changed drastically. In an instant, his body appeared behind a ghostly creature with a bull's head and a human body.

This ghostly creature originated from the Netherworld; its cultivation was also at the peak of the third tier, and its strength was extremely formidable. (End of Chapter)
