Chapter 531 Let's Burn Incense
The three missiles were almost in a straight line and landed on the altar in the shamanic formation.

In an instant, dozens of heavy arrows soared into the air, some shooting straight ahead, others tracing distinct arcs to intercept the missiles behind them. However, the first missile suddenly exploded in mid-air, the shockwave blasting away all the incoming heavy arrows. The next two missiles, like meteors, struck the altar, instantly destroying it.

Wei Yuan remained hidden, hovering in the air, observing the movements of the witch army camp. With the altar at the front-line camp destroyed, a large number of resting witch soldiers immediately rushed out of the tents to rescue the wounded and clear the destroyed altar.

Wei Yuan glanced at it, and the Human World Fireworks automatically analyzed the information in its field of vision and concluded that the front-line camp was currently only equipped with 40% of its soldiers.

Wei Yuan turned and left, informing Cui Yubaoyun of this information.

The Witch Army's frontline forces have not yet been replenished, and under normal circumstances, they will not be able to launch a full-scale offensive for at least four or five days. Wei Yuan can take advantage of this gap to enter the Netherworld and raid the Nether Witches' lair.

Returning to their residence on the main peak, all defensive facilities had been set up. Xu Henshui built a meditation room in the courtyard as the core of the defensive formation. Wei Yuan left behind an enlightened Dharma image and a dragon guard to guard the area before returning to his room. He sat down quietly, and after a moment, his mind wandered, reactivating the mark he had left in the Netherworld that day.

Wei Yuan felt a moment of disorientation, and the surroundings became gloomy, damp, and chilling, with darkness filling his vision.

A glimmer of Taoist magic appeared above Wei Yuan's head, illuminating his surroundings. He then realized that he was in a crevice in the rocks, and the environment was completely different from when he left last time; the geological structure of the entire underground rock layer was different.

Wei Yuan examined himself again, and suddenly a huge will swept across this world, stirring the Yin Yang of the girl in the human world.

The girl remained motionless for a moment, as if she were dead, but that slight fluctuation had already been sensed by that will. A moment later, another cold, massive, and murderous will swept across this underground world.

But this time Wei Yuan was prepared. He forcefully suppressed the activities of all the immortal plants in the mortal world and gave a particularly stern warning to a certain immortal plant with platinum branches and pale red petals that wanted to unleash a few sword energies and test its will.

At the same time, Wei Yuan also unleashed several bolts of heavenly lightning, striking a certain spot on the sea surface and bringing the newly sprouted immortal plant beneath the sea to the brink of death, rendering it unable to cause any more trouble.

Seeing the miserable state of the once unruly immortal plant at the bottom of the sea, the immortal plant finally realized reality and knew who the real boss was, so it obediently withdrew all its sword energy.

This time, that immense will yielded nothing.

Judging from the intensity of this will, it must be some kind of ghostly sorcerer. However, although the will of a ghostly sorcerer is strong, the scope of their surveillance of heaven and earth is too vast, so its intensity at any specific point is insufficient.

After Wei Yuan suppressed the mischievous immortal plant, the Netherworld Witch's will could no longer detect his whereabouts. The will swept over Wei Yuan several times, but he remained completely unaware.

Wei Yuan stretched his body, conjured two shovels, and began to dig rapidly underground, heading towards the surface.

At that moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out from the distant Netherworld Kingdom: "An enemy has entered the Netherworld. Find him and kill him!"

Inside a deep, solemn hall in the center of the kingdom, a central pool of water gurgled and bubbled, then burst open with a bang, releasing thick black mist that swirled and manifested an image.

More than a dozen figures were gathered around the pool, watching a huddled figure on the water's surface. Although the image was blurry, the outline clearly indicated that it was a human.

A female shaman standing by the pool suddenly exclaimed, "It's him! Wei Yuan! Quickly go and inform His Majesty the Holy Heart!"

Several high shamans nearby were startled and asked, "Huixin, are you sure you're not mistaken? Isn't Wei Yuan fighting against us right now? How could he have come to the Netherworld? Lord Shengxin is currently comprehending the universe, which is the final step for him to advance to the Saint Shaman realm. If we disturb him at this time, he will be furious if we don't have a good enough reason."

"I will never mistake his aura, this is him! Hurry up and go!" Huixin said through gritted teeth.

The surrounding high priests dared not utter a sound, and the two high priests hurriedly left.

At this moment, the deep voice rang out again: "I have pinpointed his approximate location, and Fei Ying and Xue Sha will also have their people come to assist us. The secrets of the Netherworld must not be taken by the human race!"

Hui Xin said, "Don't worry, my lord. No matter how strong Wei Yuan is, he is still just one person!"

The voice said, "If necessary, I will allow you to use the legion."

……

Wei Yuan was digging with all his might when he suddenly sensed a familiar, faint call. He felt a jolt in his heart and responded to the call. A moment later, a beautiful woman in a bright red wedding dress emerged from the soil in front of Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan carefully examined the woman. Her small face had soft lines, round and full, with a beauty that revealed cuteness and innocence. Her large, bright eyes were as lively as a deer's, her two dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were as red as blood, fresh and tender. However, her face was as pale as paper, which was somewhat frightening at first glance.

Wei Yuan adjusted the magical light above his head, changing it from a cold white to a warm color, which made the girl feel much more comfortable. He reached out and pinched the girl's face; it felt delicate and soft, not at all fake, but a little too cold. So he said, "Is this your new puppet? It's much better than the last ones."

The girl chuckled coldly twice and said, "This is me."

Wei Yuan was immediately taken aback and said, "...Dream Eater?"

"Otherwise what? If it were any other demon, you would have been dead long ago."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd become like a puppet."

Shi Meng sighed, "Don't even mention it. A while ago, two ruthless people came and managed to break my Paper Wedding Dress Formation. I lost seventy or eighty percent of my puppets, but that bastard Shu Li didn't give me any compensation! I had to take matters into my own hands. I was still in the Paper Wedding Dress Formation just now when I sensed your presence and rushed over."

Wei Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Are there people who can break your Paper Wedding Dress Scheme? Who are they?"

Shi Meng said resentfully, "The first one was a man, I think his surname was Su, and his eyes were on the top of his head, and he only knew how to look at people with his nostrils."

He wasn't involved from the start. I tried everything to get him involved, but to no avail. Instead, he found my cave by following the connections. I couldn't stop him, and the worst part was that that bastard Shuli, seeing things were going badly, stopped showing himself.

After that person finished looking through my cave dwelling, he found it uninteresting, so he destroyed it with a single sword strike, along with the dozens of puppets inside!

Wei Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange. The more he listened, the more familiar the name sounded. If it really was Su Xuejing, then it could only be said that Shu Li was blind and insisted on dragging him into the kingdom.

"Didn't you say there was one more?"

"That person is even more infuriating! She came in just a few days ago, and was originally just a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I didn't take her seriously. But in just a moment, she broke the spell! That's when I realized that she was actually a woman, so naturally she wouldn't be interested in the paper bride."

But I was still somewhat unconvinced that she could break my trap in a single encounter, so I tried to suppress her sea of ​​consciousness. Little did I know, her sea of ​​consciousness was filled with immortal swords! I had no idea how many there were! Caught off guard, I was severely injured and had to temporarily flee. Then that vicious woman unleashed a barrage of immortal swords, destroying my newly repaired cave dwelling again!

Wei Yuan's expression became even more strange. He asked, "What does that woman look like? Can I see her?"

With a wave of its hand, the Dream Eater brought Zhang Sheng's image to life before Wei Yuan's eyes.

Wei Yuan remained silent for a moment, then patted Shi Meng on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you go burn some incense?"

Shi Meng didn't understand what Wei Yuan was saying. After asking for a long time, he finally understood Wei Yuan's meaning. Then, he seemed thoughtful and quite interested.

She suddenly realized something and said, "There's something strange going on in the Netherworld Kingdom. They've awakened their legion!"

Wei Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly inquired, only to learn that some experienced great shamans would capture some local demons from the Netherworld and bring them to the Netherworld Witch Kingdom, using the kingdom's power to suppress the will of these demons and thus tame them.

The Netherworld Witches have operated in the Netherworld for millions of years, accumulating countless experiences. They selected some ferocious, long-lived, and easily tamed monsters and tamed them on a large scale, thus forming a monster army—this is the Legion.

The Dream Eater said, "The legion has a large number of monsters and many lackeys of those Nether Witches. You are all alone, which puts you at a great disadvantage. You must be careful. I can only offer you a little help, and you must not let Uncle Li find out."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Wei Yuan nodded and continued digging into the ground.

As Wei Yuan dug, he felt that the progress was too slow, so he summoned two enlightened warriors, handed them shovels and told them to dig into the ground, while he asked Dream Eater for information about the Netherworld Kingdom.

After a while, Wei Yuan felt that the digging was still a bit slow, so he summoned two more Dao Foundation Warriors and had them use the Water Blade Technique to dig into the ground. The original two Dao Foundation Warriors shoveled loose soil behind them.

However, the Water Blade Technique's digging speed was extremely fast, and the two Dao Foundations couldn't keep up with the loose soil. So Wei Yuan summoned four more Dao Foundations. Now, two were digging in front and six were shoveling in the back, finally balancing the workload.

A rather wide passageway appeared before Wei Yuan and Shi Meng, sloping upwards and extending continuously.

Wei Yuan turned to Shi Meng, his face filled with worry, and said, "Tell me more carefully, how many demons are in the legion?"
